I'm having the same problem, same phone. Even my old MMS' won't load even though they've already been downloaded.

danicori79I called Customer Service today and they did a factory reset on my G2 and it is now working. They also said that if I have the same issue with the MMS then they'd send another phone since we did the reset today.

issue without resetting device.

cmgarman,

Help has arrived! Picture messaging is an essential feature that is used to share those precious moments in life. Let's make sure you are able to share them at all times.

Is Wi-Fi ON or Off? Are you using the standard text messaging application or one downloaded from a third party? Have you attempted to test this feature out while the device is in safe mode? To placed device in safe mode, follow steps included.

1.) Ensure the device is powered off.
Press and hold the Power button (located on the back) until the options menu appears then release.

Select Power Off.

Select OK.
Allow several seconds for the device to power off.

2.) Press and hold the Volume down button and the Power button.

3.) Release only the Power button when the LG logo appears.

4.) Release the Volume down button when Safe Mode appears on the screen.

I absolutely hate this LG g2. I never had these problems with any BlackBerrys that I've ever owned. Android is a joke. I'm going to go buy 1000 shares a blackberry stock.   almost everybody and Europe is using blackberry. We must be crazy using Android here in the United States. I guess it's because we are addicted to video games..  I can't view any of my messages that contain pictures and I am using the standard messaging application that came with this phone. People need to quit reinventing the wheel nobody likes updates. Especially if they cause problems. Just make this work.... or I'm going back to my blackberry.
