I was having the same problem when I was trying to send pictures from PHOTOs. I isolated problem to occurring only when I did not have a WIFI connection - i.e. when I was 3G only. Turned out to be a settings problem. Went to Settings/Cellular/ USE CELLUAR DATA FOR and activated PHOTOS. Now it works like a charm. Hopefully your solution is also this simple.
