problems with downloading pics from text?

Hi - is anyone else having problems downloading pics attached to text after running the 4.1.2 upgrade?

I've tried powering on and off - turning off wi-fi and just having data...(and vice versa)...to no avail. the text and pictures are coming from another verizon user....they have a "non-smart" phone.

Picture texts won't send/receive over wi-fi, you need to have cellular data turned on. Have you tried sending yourself a picture text? Sometimes that gets it working again.

yes - i turned off wi-fi and then tested it by sending a pic via the verizon wireless website (here)....still doesn't want to download

No, not from the website. It is from your own phone. Send a picture message to yourself. In the TO: line put your own cell phone number.

Try sending yourself a picture text from your phone. You also might want to clear the text messaging app's cache.

ok -

plan 1: only data turned on - sent myself a picture text from my phone - still errors out.

plan 2: Cleared the text app cache as well as the text app data, then powered off then on the phone - for a while....turned it back on - sent myself a picture text from my phone.....still errors out.

geez....all was fine before the "upgrade"

Me too. Every text with photo comes with message to download. Sometimes it comes through...Texts are from iPhone and Blackberry.

GReat info here. My Razr Maxx replaced an Android 3--three in total--one new and 2 refurbished. The phones got progressively worse. Bought Razr. No problem until Ice Cream update last summer. Spent an hr w/level 2 tech who fixed most of the problems. Jellybean update created new problems. If the system cache wipe doesn't work, it's off to buy an iPhone. Friends and family don't have these android problems.

Apple has their own issues, before you jump to an iPhone check out the iOS 6 update problems that have been going on all over...
