EMS is very picky about encoding.
It may be an error encoding the EMS, or maybe your device does not support all the EMS caveats (i.e. some devices does not support variable size pictures).
To make sure, try the same message on different terminals (maybe some non-Sony-Ericsson as Motorola, Alcatel, Siemens, etc). If you experience a similar problem on them, then it's a message format problem.
Hope it helps,

Hi,
I'm currently trying to send a picture via EMS to a Sony Ericsson
K500i, which claims to have full EMS support. To do this I'm converting
the picture to the binary format specified in the EMS spec and putting
the required data in the UDH, which I believe should be 851283000420 for
a 32x32 variable picture at character offset 0. I'm then putting the
pixel data in the UDH. When I send this to my handset it receives a
message but looking at the message results in the handset displaying
"Data Message" with no further information.
I've tried varying the placement of data and the data header from the
UDH to the UD and I've experimented with other EMS types, such as
pre-defined animations or text formatting. However with all of these I
end up with the handset displaying the message "Data message" instead of
the content I'm giving it.
Can anyone tell me what it is that I'm doing stupidly?
Thanks,
Gareth Reakes
