G1 Pictures Messaging

after you set this up try sending / receiving pictures

you either need wifi or a data plan to receive pictures

i had this same problem with my G1. If you already pressed "download" and its forever downloading or getting that red triangle, try turning off your phone for about 5 mins and try to redownload the picture

The problem is that supposedly before you can receive picture messages, you have to send one first. Tell a friend that you are going to test it out on them and send them a picture message. It will take a while for it to go through
Then all the texts that you receive before with the "download' button in them in the place of a picture automatically turn into pictures.
Unfortunately as it stands there is no functionality for saving your MMS pictures directly onto your phone, the only way it can be done is you have to forward the message to your Gmail account, which will then arrive on your phone and from there you should be able to open the email and download the picture. To do so follow these steps
From the Home screen, touch the Applications button.
Touch Messaging.
Touch the message that contains the picture or video.
Press and hold in an empty space in the message.
Touch Forward.
Type a space or other character in the forwarded message (in subject or body of message)
At To, type the e-mail address.
Press the Menu key and touch Send.
Once received in the email this can be saved but the problem is when saved it may save it without a file extension therefore making it unviewable later
This should help and do let me know

Best of luck
And do let me know if it helped

hiya, the G1 does not let you connect to other fones and will not enable you to send ringtones pictures etc wether it is a g1 or any other make! t-mobile are working on this to set up the application! they will notify us g1 users when it is available. hope this helps you out

all the best

In the Market there is a program called "Save MMS" - that should assist.

if you are connected to wifi mms doesnt work. try turning off wifi and use 3g to send it. it worked for me

yes

Check with G1 support at T-Mobile to see if the receivers information is being blocked from your service. They should be able to fix it on their end.
