Every time I send a ringtone to one of my friends they never receive it. They say it keeps trying to send it as a picture. I'm using a BlackBerry Storm. Any ideas on why the sounds won't send through? :omfg:

I assume you are trying to send short ringtones and not long ones correct? What kind of phone do they have? Are they on the same network?Quote:

agreed, some dumb phones automatically recognize mms as a picture message. i have sent ringtones to dumb phones and depending on the phone... some dont even have an option to save it?! :no:Quote:

hmmm, i had a chocolate at one point and remember saving ringtones and such off mms.... i dont remember it showing as attached though, the music just started playing. dumb question but is their volume up?
I asked them the same thing. They say the message is blank. The only thing that they see is the file name as the subject. I don't know... Both phones should be able to receive it.Quote:

Yeah they should be able to receive it as most phones on vzw support mms. What format is it in? Are you attaching it from ringtones or from messages? :)Quote:

That's weird. Try updating PRL (*22899 send). If you keep having the issue, I would recommend a wipe/reinstall (first security wipe, then BBSAK or JL). If still an issue, I would suspect hardware. Hope this helps. :)Quote:

I doubt it but possible. You can test by putting all javas from removed folder back into pa java and run app loader. :)Quote:

Justin, try a wipe and reload. That would be my suggestion at this point. May be try doing a security wipe, jl or bbsak, load .75, then straight to .148 then the OS that you want but without wiping. It should flash your phone to factory. I would give it a try. :)Quote:
