MMS Issues: Phone or AT&T?

[texas_sax]

I've been having a lot of problems with MMS since picking up the Active and switching to AT&T. MMS Messages are not automatically downloading.

I usually use Handcent, but right now it's pretty worthless when it comes to group messages or receiving a picture. in both the stock messaging app and Handcent settings I have it set to group messages, and to automatically download. when I receive an MMS, though, I still have to click on download (and they won't download at all in Handcent even after clicking).

say I receive a group text from someone and 3 other people respond. both apps now display 4 different entries, one for each person. if I open each individual's thread and click download (again just in the stock app) the messages will be removed from that individual's thread and then be added to a group thread.

this is pretty frustrating, and I really want it solved. is this an AT&T issue (I was on VZW before) or something with the phone?

Yeah I have noticed this also. I am pretty sure all the group mms I have recieved are from coworkers who use iphones. So I wonder if the way apple handles group mms is different or something. I have no idea.
