I have it set to automatically download MMS but it did not. So i clicked on download and it failed repeatedly. I thought it was because i was using the built in messaging app and they were using Handcent. When my iPhone friend sent me a photo and I couldn't get it I knew it had to be my phone. It wasn't until later I thought about taking Wifi off and trying. Sure enough the photos downloaded.
Does anyone else have the same issue or is my phone special?
Question about
It seems like I can only get MMS while on 3G but not on Wifi. I had someone on a Driod X, EVO and iPhone 3G send me MMS.
The reason is wifi can not be monitored, since mms is considered a text message it must be tracked so it can count toward your monthly grand total. It sucks but if I am not mistaken this is what the telecoms want. At least for my Mytouch slide it switches on mobile data so I can download the picture but I am also running CM6, so that could be why. I could be wrong but this is how all wifi connected phones handle MMS.

pretty sure you just need 3g turned on before you can receive MMS.
as I recall, MMS kinda piggybacks off the cellular internet and can't use wifi to download a picture message.
I have an HTC Hero on TELUS in Canada and i can download MMS just fine when i have wifi turned on or off... i can't turn my 3G off (and why would i want to?) because that's all there is where i live, except for rogers 2G which i can't use anyway,
try it with 3G enabled and wifi on.
