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.

SkyChimp, we don't want this to be an ongoing issue for you. Try deleting a few text messaging conversations and power your device off/on to soft reset it. Additionally, you will need to connect to our network and turn Wi-Fi off in the Settings of your device, as well. Keep us posted.

Hi kmak,
I apologize for the issue. I have the same device that had the same issue. This is a known issue on the device The way I fixed it is by doing a hard reset on your device. It's been working ever since the reset was done over a month ago. Here's the steps http://vz.to/1jZfEYH.
Thank you!

Try downloading Verizon messaging and disable motorolas messaging. I think it's verizons way of use our apps instead...I do like the Verizon messaging better than motorolas. I am happy now. Shame no one at Verizon could suggest the Verizon app or explain why latest update is causing issues.

In my case I narrow it down to snap-chat however different manufacture could be different compatibility with different apps,
however I did had to reset phone removing app didnt correct problem it seems once problem happens it has to be reset to correct issue.
Sorry I did used SMS back up and restore to save and re load all my SMS and MMS faster.

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.

I recently just got my device switched out a week ago and now the picture messaging is still not resolved! They are sending me...now my 3rd phone. I absolutely HATE this phone! I can't send videos EVER! My picture messaging does not work. I PAY a ton of money every month for 3 lines and continuously have problems! I had an iPhone before and I could do everything! I switched to android in hopes of better pics, apps, and other freedoms that apple does not offer, but I REGRET the switch to the point where I'd like to cancel my verizon account!
I am grandfathered into unlimited messaging and data. I'd hate to leave, but this is a huge inconvenience!! 3 phones and I have to reset all three and save all my data...download everything all over again. Verizon needs to fix this issue. I hardly ever complain....but this is absolutely unacceptable for such a huge corporation.
FYI: I have done 4 hard resets, getting my second replacement phone (making it phone 3). What can I do to become a satisfied customer once again??? This is absolutely unacceptable for all I pay.

Is your data on? Usually nothing will be sent or received unless it is on. Then if you used to have an iPhone and are trying to text other iPhones there is an error with imessage. Apple purposely prevents messages from once uPS but now android users from being sent and received, it was once thought to be a bug but was later revealed to be on purpose.

We appreciate all your hard work, mmsandov. The trouble you've described does not affect every LG G2, and I'm confident that the replacement process will produce successful results for you. Please keep us posted on your success. We don't want to see you so unhappy that you consider leaving.

You know most of these people have already been sending pictures through the original G2 messaging program and everything worked fine until 4.4.2 update. Verizon keeps dancing around. This does not help anyone. Please tell us there is a bug in 4.4.2 and if there is a work around tell us if not say you are working on the problem and 4.4.2 will be updated as soon as possible. Please don't make it more frustrating than it already is. Thanks
