MMS on 2.2 AOSP only with mobile data on?

Why?
The correct way of working should be that the MMS connection starts itself when an mms is leaving or arriving...
On CM6 and others 2.2 i tried i have to start everytime the mobila data.
Any way to change this? In the stock 2.1 it worked like i say...
Thanks!

Same thing on 1.2 floyo.
It is the wrong thread, probably will be moved to q&a

They work but you have to enable mobile data. For incoming MMS, my operator send an advice so i can activate it when it's needed.
Non so bad but hope it can be fixed...

Did anyone try this (i.e. cyanogenmod forums, xda forums, etc.)?
For example, I found this thread: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/3558-incoming-mms-resized-to-8kb-solved/
or the last post on this one (which is the same supposed solution if I am not mistaken):
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/2982-sending-mms-without-data-plan-possible/
Another thread I found on cyanogenmod forums, said that with ChompSMS it works fine (although with the builtin messaging it does not).
This appears to be a quite common problem, not specific to the hero, and I think that if someone seriously devouts some time and effort searching for a solution on the internet they will find it - hopefully they can also share it with the rest here.
Please note, that I can't do this, even if I wanted, since in every ROM I have tried I could never send/receive MMS and I don't have a data plan - my telephone company still thinks I have the same phone from 7 years ago....

I tried the solution linked by erasmux but nothing solved.
I tried all the user agent i have in the list... No mmswith stock app or handcent.

I have Solved this thing by using "Hisurfing". with "Hisurfing-APN Switcher widget" if u turn it off then only the APN for Internet goes off not the MMS APN. Secondly u must have enabled the Data.
I am currently using CM 6.1
Please post ur comments

can receive MMS but not send

This started a while ago. Even using Handcent I can receive MMS but not send it out. It says that they have been sent but they never get received on the other end. It worked perfectly until I flashed to FC24, and I just installed CM9 thinking it would help but it didn't.
It's a SPH-D710 on Sprint network
I already tried deleting the telephony.db file clearing data/cache and rebooting. That didn't help. I found a BoostMobileMMSFix.zip but I'm assuming that won't work for me, even though they were describing the same problem. So I'm a at a loss. Any help would be awesome. I saw references to a ##DATA# method for this problem but couldn't actually find out how to implement it.
Thanks a lot

I can't imagine that I am the only person out there on the Sprint network that this has happened to. Hopefully someone will be able to shed some on the situation soon.
Question---- if I updated with the BoostMobileMMSFix.zip... would it do something horrible to my phone? Or would it simply not work? Is it worth trying?
-dt

Hi, a similar thing happened to me recently on my phone and it turned out that because it is a work phone they changed the settings for my phone to block outgoing mms. Is your phone a work phone? Have you tried restoring your nandroid backup (I assume you have one) of your original ROM and checking to see if it works on that? If it doesn't then its something on the carrier side of things :/
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app

Well I don't think it's something on the carrier side of things, because it started happening IMMEDIATELY after I flashed out of my stock ROM. Unfortunately, I don't have a nandroid backup because when I started this endeavor I was such a NOOOB and I did it hastily.

Could this be an NVRAM issue? Would it be worth resetting that? If so, can you tell me how please?

So I just went all the way back to EK02 and still could not send MMS. After a few Sprint auto-updates I'm in ICS again with FH13. Still no MMS. I tried to update the APN settings (while I was still in CM9 before I flashed to EK02), but I don't think I did it right. I updated the settings to what I found here (http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-sup...86-fixed-sprint-mms-problem-apn-settings.html) but that did not help. Every time I saved it I went from having Sprint listed in the APN settings to having nothing. In other words, it disappeared. Currently thinking I will just stay here till I figure it out. Maybe call my carrier (which is actually CREDO, but it's on the Sprint network)... could be something on their end, right?

Good call on that one. I assumed since they're on the same network they'd use the same settings. They don't. But I still have a problem. I am on CM9, so I can't use a third party app to restore APNs.
I found CREDO's settings here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1824916
However, the list of parameters in the xml there does not match the settings I can modify in the APNs manually in CM9 (accessing it through Voice Dial). Is there another way to restore APNs in CM9? Or can I some how flash backward to Gingerbread, restore, and then flash back without changing the APNs?
Please help, I feel like I'm getting so close to figuring this out!
EDIT: brooksyx -- your link goes to the same post on a different site. i didn't see that before i found the one here. Thanks for searching for me!

Sorry if I missed you saying you tried this already. I had this issue a while back, the fix for me was to update the prl and profile via the system update settings.

thankss Bannjio for your reply. are u on boost mobile too? also are you using stock ICS FH13? cuz ill be honest i never tryed updating the profile or PRL to see if it fixed the problem. and now since i couldnt send MMS iam running the older gingerbread EL29 where my MMS works fine.. but if i can find a Fix for MMS to go back to FH13 ill be happy.cuz i do remember doing something like what you just told me but on my old EPc 4G . now since this a second generation of the Epic Touch i dont know if it is he same story. i just dont want to redo my phone again toFH13 and update the PRL or profile and endup with the same thing about no MMS again.. thanks

No problem, I can see not wanting to reflash only to have it not work. I am on sprint not boost mobile, and on a custom rom not stock fh13. However, the problem arose for me when I switched from an ics rom back to a gb rom. Mms didn't work on the gb rom until after I ran prl and profile update.
If you end up giving that a shot, be sure to let us know how it goes. Sorry I can't be of more direct help.

Nexus MMS Issues

Hi xda i've had a problem with my new galaxy nexus with sending and downloading any MMS message.
Basically I noticed the issue today as it was the first time a friend sent me a mss on my new device and I could not download it. I tried messing with the APN, Auto-Receive and turning WIFI off and I still could not get it to download or send MMS so I decided it must be a issue with the device.
My phone came with stock yakjuxw 4.0.4 but I flashbooted it to 4.1 without root and ive had no issues other than this MMS issue. It is not my sim as I tried sending and receiving MMS from my old Blackberry and it worked fine.
My device is a unlocked GSM device and I am based in Australia.
Can anybody give me some insight on what to do?
EDIT: I looked at CatLog while trying to download the msg and I got the following which it kept repeating if it means anything:
GC_CONCURRENT freed
WAIT_FOR_CONCURRENT_GC BLOCKED
Ps: My first post of now many

99% of the time it's APN related.

Does your friend have an iPhone? I have horrible problems getting MMS from iPhones for some reason.

The first MMS I received yes was from a friend with an iphone but then tried sending one from a nokia and got the same issue.

It sounds stupid but could it have anything to do with me not having root?

I've experienced similar issues in the past, and had success with going into the APN settings, hitting the menu dots, and selecting the reset to default option. Send some of the settings or data got corrupt at some point (even though everything looked OK)

I have a similar problem on both of our nexuses (nexi). Mine is rooted and my wife's is 100% stock. MMS send fine most places, but anywhere that has a wifi network seems to keep the MMS from sending. The picture will just sit there with 'Sending' next to it for days before you realize it never sent. It wont even send once you leave the wifi area. If I send the message when i'm not near wifi, it sends fine. I realize this is of little help, but you're not alone anyhow.

This is my first visit since this problem and I figured out the problem was to do with my carrier. I called them and my MMS was set to use blackberry servers. They put me back on their network and its worked since

MMS on 4.2.1 not working - APN SETTINGS ARE CORRECT

Hey guys.
I've searched too many times for a solution to this and can't seem to find anybody with the same problem with a fix. MMS messages won't send or receive on my gnex. On ANY ROM other than miui, with how buggy that is on the gnex, I would rather stay on PA. I've tried custom and stock MMS apps. Checked my APN settings numerous times, but nothing seems to work. No idea why this could be?

it could very well be your provider, i know that usually the case with the toroplus. but have you tried using gosms? that usually fixes the issue at least temporarily.

Couldn't send group mms with stock messaging on CM10.1 installed Go SMS and same problem. I have no idea what's going on

I've tried gosms but same problem, can't send or receive on either. Spoken to NY producer, Vodafone UK, a d they can't find a problem. There end. MMS works on miui ROM but no others, so so strange

Cricket MMS

I've noticed a few questions about getting MMS working on sprint S3's that are flashed to cricket so I thought I'd post this to help out some.I am by now means an expert but I have flashed a lot of phones and through much trial and error found out what works.
TouchWiz bases ROM's
1st option is a paid solution so I won't post a link but you can PM me.
2nd option GoSMS which can be downloaded from google play install it, 1st go to setting>advanced>mms settings,check the box that says Fill apn configuration manually MMSC should be http://mms.mycricket.com/servlets/mms?x-cricket-mdn=xxx_xxx_xxxx x's being your phone number
2nd MMS Proxy should be wap.mycricket.com
3rd MMS Port should be 8080 after this it will work a lot of the guides i've seen will tell you proxy is mms.cricket.com i've never had that work.
3rd option follow this post step by step a liitle more involved but you can use stock messaging http://www.cricketusers.com/cdma-sa...-s3-mms-solution-confirmed-working-great.html
CM,AOSP and AOKP ROM's
1st and really only option you will need
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1649508 this solution was developed by Cornaljoe for the samsung epic however i have tested it on many phones and it has always worked well make sure to thank him for his hard work.
I hope this helps I have personally used all of these and they all work. any questions just ask and if anyone needs help flashing this phone to cricket just send me a PM and i'll be glad to help.
Note to mods I hope this is in the right place.

I have tried all the Touch Wiz methods from the original post and they all get reset automatically back to stock Sprint settings.
I am using a Sprint S3 SPH-L710 on stock 4.1.2 rooted with clockwork mod recovery.
I flashed it to Cricket myself using the tutorial on Cricket Users forum. I really expected to find a solution there, but I see a couple of people with the same problem I am having. The reason I rooted it is because of the "confirmed working" solution over there, but it does the same thing and resets mms setting back to Sprint.
I know I am following all the directions to the letter, and like I said I have sent and received text pictures but then the settings revert back to Sprint.
This is extremely frustrating because I See others posting that it works and mine just keeps resetting.
What am I missing?
Or is there something in a phone released with 4.1.2 that is changing the settings?

Thank you for your reply.
I did try what you posted and it worked the same as before until the settings reset.
I believe I may have figured it out since you pointed me to the build.prop edit.
I found a couple of different posts here on xda and a couple of other forums for different device models that pointed me to which files to edit or delete. I have read so many different threads about this I am not sure exactly where I got which files that worked.
But in a nutshell, I had the wrong mnc in my apn.
I edited build.prop, apn, dss, & various other unrelated settings, slashing and burning whatever got in my path.
310016 was what worked for me if that helps anyone else, somehow I had it switched to 310090 in apns-conf.xml and build.prop still said 310120.
And for whatever reason, my alarm has not reset the notification melody again.
Wifi on, no settings reset. Sent and received with both GoSMS Pro and whichever mms.apk I switched in there. I'm really not sure where I got it, but it shows to be 624KB installed. I notice that all the ones I found are a little bit different size.
I am really liking this S3, it's a big improvement over my out-of-the-box stock ZTE Score.

cricket messaging app not working right after 4.3 update on S3
Okay, seems like everyone is having problems with sending and/or receiving MMS on flashed (to Cricket) Sprint S3. Just recently, I purchased a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3. The guy flashed it to Cricket and when I got home, I noticed that I couldn't receive MMS. Instead of calling him back, I decided to find a fix myself to be able to receive MMS on the native messaging app. So this is what I did:
1.Dial ##3282# (this opens the Data Programming Menu)
2.Tap on "Edit" and enter your MSL Code (000000)
3.Go to "MMSC", then "MMSC URL"
4.Change the url to: (see attached image) and hit Okay to apply.
5.Go to MMSC Proxy and change that to "0.0.0.0"
6.Reboot phone and make sure you're connected to 3G.
7.Have someone send you a MMS and it should download and open, using the native messaging app, with no problem!!!
It worked for me and I haven't had a problem since I changed the MMSC URL and Proxy.
Have Fun Sending & Receiving MMS!!!!
