Why am I unable to view pictures sent to me by MMS from an iPhone? If I receive a picture message from a friend with an iPhone, the MMS message appears with a "Slideshow" attachment.  When I try to open the Slideshow, I get a message saying, "Unsupported media type".

Can anyone help?  Why can't I view these messages?

Edit: I'm running the T-mod ROM with Froyo (2.2b)
A few things you could try... (good luck!)



Reset the Messaging App

Settings>Menu>Applications>Manage applications>Soft menu key>Filter>All.  Scroll to the Messaging App and tap that. Tap Clear Data, Clear Defaults, then Force Stop. Powercycle the phone. Test MMS. If it fails to resolve the issue go the messaging application and tap the Menu soft key>Settings>Menu soft key again> Restore Default Settings.



Alternative Messaging Apps

Try ChompSMS or Handcent from the Market.



Download the message first

I forget how you do this exactly :o/ Maybe long press or menu button? Then try viewing the image from the Gallery app.
