    Problem recieving Picture messages lately.

    Have had my Eris for about a month. Just the other day when a picture message comes in I get a grey box saying download. When I click to download i get a message saying Download of Message Unsuccsessful. Is this something anyone else is experiencing?

    Yes. I just got my Eris today and I get that message when a picture comes. Did you find a fix?

    If I wanted to talk to someone about picture messaging and my lack thereof, would I need to contact someone at HTC or Verizon? And how would I go about obtaining those customer service numbers?

    I had a problem sending pictures or video texts via WIFI. If I turned WIFI off and went 3G then they'd go through on a retry.

    What would wi-fi or 3g have to do with sending a picture via text?

    No idea! LOL But as soon as I turned WIFI off and retried (with Verizon on my landline) and switched to 3G, it went through.

    So I just sat on Verizon Wirelss Tech Support for the last 45 minutes to figure out something about my pix/flix messaging problem. When I would send a message it would never get to the destination. When I would receive one I would get the download option but never see the pic. He had me do a hard reset on my phone and everything and I reprogrammed it. He sent a test picture to me and it worked!

    The culprit...I had my 3G turned off. I was able to use the browser because I always turned on wi-fi in my house then turned it back off. 3G coverage carries your data and when it's turned off you can't send or receive data....DDDOOOOOHHHH!!!

    Maybe my ignorance will help someone else.
