Very strange MMS problem

[izzyfreckleface]

I have googled this problem and nothing comes up remotely similar. I tried a few pieces advice on issues with MMS but they do not fix this specific issue. I tried sending my mom a picture of my 11 week pregnant belly. At first only 3g was on so it never sent so I turned on WIFI as well.

Well I googled issues with this phone not sending pictures and someone suggested allowing mock locations. So I turned that on and turned my phone completely off let it sit for a minute and turned it back on checking to assure that all settings were unchanged.

I used to have that androidify app so as a test I sent her a picture from my androidify collection. Well that sent with no problem so I tried sending a picture from my gallery once again...just a random test picture but she didn't get it it kept saying "sending" and actually still shows that way. In the past I have not experienced problems sending mms to my mom its been this evening that it seems MMS won't send at all or take an incredibly long time to send. I have 3g and wifi on so this makes no sense and i've already shut it down twice. I sent a test picture from my gallery to my husband's phone as well and he's always received mms from me but tonight nothing! What gives?

Any tips or advice would be appreciated. If it helps the phone is definitely LG Optimus V I have the 55 dollar a month plan for this phone. The phone is almost 1 year old. It is on factory settings basically I've never done anything to change its way of functioning. I've cleared it's cache and rebooted it twice. I can't imagine what causes this problem. It sends off the wall pictures like from Androidify or my paint programs on it but it won't send my actual pictures from my gallery the ones that matter. I use either Handsent SMS or the default SMS program. Should I uninstall handsent? I have heard of people having problems with that but not this specifically.

Is your mom on AT$T? Virgin and them seem to have a lot of MMS problems.

If this started happening tonight/yesterday, I think there was some isues with peoples mms/3g. I kept getting texts from vmu twitter to my phone asking what the persons problem was.

Another thing is to hit settings, applications, manage applications and clear the cache of both gallery and your mms application. Shut the phone down pull the battery and hold the power button for 10 seconds. Wait a couple put battery back and turn the phone back on. As crazy as it sounds it will manually clear the phone of all juice and sometimes it will fix randomness like your experiencing.

Sorry I take a long time to get to these things. My problem isn't with just ATT. I can't send mms at all to anyone. I have to have 3G and wifi on simultaneously which is dumb because my not smart at all straight talk phone can send mms without 3g or wifi. Whatever but on my "smart" phone I can't send mms about 60-70% of the time and the other per cent it sends so slowly sometimes it takes an hour or more.

I have to have patience I realize but that's ridiculous that a smart phone cannot send mms and a basic cellphone on straight talk can send mms in a couple of minutes max. I can't send to straighttalk or at&t. i was able to send to my mom on at&t before and then some days it will others it will not and my 3g just decides its not there other times.

I can't send to my niece who is on verizon or my friends or anyone it sits there saying "Sending..." forever.

If there's a quick fix I will try to keep an eye on the forum and return more frequently.

I've done the battery removal thing, turning off the phone, letting it cool down etc. Nothing is working. I've cleared the phone's cache and barely have any extra apps. I have a few but hardly a lot. I can't be doing this much to my phone's storage.
