MMS with stock HTC Messages app? - Verizon HTC One (M9)

Has anyone gotten this to work? Everytime I get an MMS message the stock app can't seem to download it. Has VZW basically disabled this app? I was never able to get MMS to work with the stock messages app on the M8 either. Is there a specific APN configuration that needs to happen? If anyone is able to use this properly,I'd be interested to know how. I like the customization options that are available to it.

Yes. Has worked on both my m8 and m9 without issue. Sounds like you need to talk to vzw support.

Upon setup I changed my messaging app to the normal messaging app (not + or hangouts). I never had any trouble reviving messages, but yesterday I did have trouble sending messages: Error 65535 error class 3. - I had to reset the phone for it to work (wished I had root...) But then it started to over heat... now I have replaced it with another M9.
Make sure you get the free 2 years of google drive @ 100GB!

Synergy Rom for Sprint GS3 Question!

I am planning on flashing the new Synergy Rom for Galaxy s3, I see it is available for all carriers, but there is no dedicated thread for it on the sprint part, I see it is on the Verizon threat and it says works on all carriers....is there any other files I need to flash along with the main zip to make it work for sprint, or is that included all in that one zip.
source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792499
It's all included... some reports say that with Sprint you need to flash, let it try to boot (it won't boot) and then dirty flash over top of it again and it should boot up
SPRINT GS3 FAQ
It works well. But you can't update profile/prl. Also if you want to install custom kernels must be Sprint versions.

Runs nice. In am on it at the moment.

Phone not yet activated message Sprint S3
Just flashed the synergy ROM, and I could not get the phone to work. I re-flashed it several times, and tried all of the options in the setup before flashing. The data worked fine. The phone would dial Sprint customer svc for a second, and then say phone not yet activated. I had CM 10.1 on there, but that was not for me. I wish this would have worked, but I suspect someone here knows the fix. Maybe a bad download? It took 1.5 hours over slow hotel internet.

unnntil I "lost" data connectivity (it turns it off when you remove the icon in the quick access menu.) And tried "restoring" a good data connection. That made it mad and now I'm back to no service. I am an idiot. I'll re-re-re-re flash it tonight and see what sticks.

I've noticed this as well. I didn't think it would matter at all though. Everything works GREAT that I tried. BUT I found out after using it all day today, that it has a flaw with sending and receiving MMS... For me anyways. I can get on my 3G connection just fine and it pulls up websites, sends and receives emails. The phone also calls out just fine and sends and receives SMS no problem. Everything works great except for the MMS (be it pictures or an audio recording)
I've tried - Updating profile - didn't work
- switching my data connection from LTE/CDMA to just cdma.
- Wiping internal SD card (not just data/cache but the whole SD card VIA cwm) and reflash rom
- I don't know what else to try
Anyone have this problem? Anyone know what I may do to resolve it?
I've looked around and I got to the point where I entered in a special code which would reboot the phone and activate it. Too bad it didn't work and I had to restore the stock rom for it to do that process (Hope it doesn't charge me an activation fee)
Thanks so much for any input! I like the liquid smooth rom I'm on right now, but man I love the camera too much on the touchwiz roms and so far it seems like this synergy not only gives me the speed of aosp but the look of touchwiz and the note2 camera. Would be nice if i can get around this hurtle
Update on my above post
Just an update - I got the MMS to work by using GO SMS from the play store. I thought it was a long shot to install a different messaging app, but now I can both send and receive MMS! It still wont work through the normal messaging app (Sending MMS results in it acting like it went through, but never reaches its destination. Receiving MMS would constantly ask me to download it, then fail when I would click the download button.) But then when I go into this go sms app and try to download it, it works just fine, and sends just fine. The options in this app seem pretty awesome for a free app anyways so I'm actually kinda happy I had to find a workaround
It seems when I downloaded this app, that the messaging app would often forceclose after receiving a mms. To eliminate this, I just went in the messaging app and turned off notifications and auto retrieve MMS. no more force closes
Hope this helps anyone else who may be having this issue!
Have a great weekend!!!

Thanks for this info! This new Synergy ROM is very nice, and I had not noticed the mms issue until today. Mine actually rebooted a few times while the messaging apps fought it out. I think I have it sorted now. I am glad I continued to try getting Synergy installed.

The thread that you provide it, got me thinking allot and I'm afraid of restoring my phone to a backup I had made before installing Synergy Rom. Me thinking if I do something more I will end up having no service or phone number . I never seen this happen before

I guess my fear and guts were correct about my phone giving me a surprise ! Just restore my phone to my backup I made before installing Synergy Rom. Now knowing I can't activate my phone with stock rom =( Phone calls work, Sms seem to works when sending pictures and text. 4G is working but I can't activate my phone. Why? I'm going to start looking for info later on the day

Did you click the activate this device button under settings? That is completely not necessary.your phone its already activated otherwise you wouldn't even be able to make calls. The activate button is for when you first get the device it activates it on sprint's side

[Q] AOKP mms not working (AT&T galaxy S3)

I just flashed the most recent AOKP on my AT&T GS3 and can't receive MMS. the issue is the same on the stock messaging app as well as handcent, my APN settings are all correct, and every other option that I've researched (here and elsewhere) yields no positive results. I didn't have an issue with an older version of AOKP, but I updated because other aspects of the ROM were getting a little glitchy. This version is much smoother, but now MMS isn't working. what the heck is going on?
unable to send recently as well...

Dirty flash?
Check your apn settings
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
clean flash, all apn settings are the same as before the flash
I believe the default sms app might not be compressing the image to fit your carriers mms limit. Try using a different sms app and see if it sends. If that's the problem you could use an alternative sms app or try decreasing your cameras quality to make the images smaller.
update: I did a factory reset, and mms started working again... for about a day. it then started doing the same things as before, so I'm totally lost. same issue arises whether I use handcent or the stock app. will attempt a third messaging app for the purpose of covering all bases
no other third party messaging apps work either. I can't think of anything else that could be an issue. any more help?

Took me forever to figure it out customized it how I wanted tested then had to add apps back one at a time until it stopped working my friend got really sick of getting mms from me while testing. It's a known issues listed on their Web page apparently the block port 80 and that's what mms goes thru

[Q] Cyanogenmod 12 Stock App Issue

Hello everyone,
Relatively new Android user here. I've been running Cyanogenmod 12 Nightlies on my Sprint HTC One m8, and for some reason, I cannot seem to get the messaging or email apps to work properly.
When I set CM Messenger as my default texting app, I can receive messages just fine, but when I go to send, it's as if the sending button is disabled. From what I can tell, setting Messenger as the default texting app should enable the send button, but that's simply not the case for me. The only info I've been able to find online said that Voice + caused this problem, but I think that was specific to CM 11. I don't recognize any apps on my phone that would be the Android L equivalent of Voice +.
As for Email, whenever I try to connect my gmail account, I get a message saying that verification couldn't be completed because the password is wrong. After this, the app closes automatically, and upon reopening it, the app seems to be hung up on syncing but never actually does anything. I've tried linking my account both automatically and manually — both methods yield the same result.
The odd thing is that 3rd party messaging and email apps work just fine. I've been using them as a workaround, but I'd really like to use the stock apps if possible! And aside from that, I'm totally stumped and would really like to figure out what is causing this issue. Any insight you could provide would be very much appreciated!

Update: I got the email app to work — I had the sync parameter set to never because I like to manually retrieve my mail, but it seems like that completely stops the app from syncing at all. It's still a little buggy, but at least it's working. Still no fix yet for SMS app.....

Hello,
Thanks for your reply! I have been using a third party sms app for the time being, but I'd still really like to figure out what's causing this issue. Call me a glutton for punishment I've searched a lot on XDA for a specific cyanogenmod Q&A, but I'm new here, and I'm finding the search interface a bit confusing. Could you post a link to the specific thread you're referring to?

Small (but annoying) issue after first Root/Rom

I just recently rooted and flashed a rom (successfully) to my phone (SPH-L710), but I notices a very annoying issue. I cannot send or receive multimedia messages (MMS). I am technically not on Sprint. I am on Ting which uses the Sprint Network. Before I rooted, I was only able to use MMS messages if I was on wifi. I have turned off data on my phone to save money on my monthly bill. Some people may find that annoying, but I don't and it's a small price to pay. After rooting and flashing my phone to Gummy 4.4.4, the MMS messages won't work, not even on wifi. I still have mobile data turned off and I'm worried that turning it on will be the only solution to this problem.
Anyone have an idea?
Gummy is really the only ROM I've used so far. I'm still a noob to the whole rooting/flashing thing. I'd love to flash to Lollipop, but I'm still waiting on the camera issue to be solved. I need the camera on my phone for work.
Thanks in advance for any help.
You need the MMS settings fixed, easiest is to use a third party text app like goSMS or textra and manually put in your MMS settings

in 5.0 camera works as long as you use third party cameras like Open camera....but you would have to use another third party app for video i forget which one tho since I'm not really taking videos at the moment....and flash different 4.4.2-4.4.4 AOSP roms to see if the problem is still there...

Cannot reply to text message directly?

Hi everyone hope I can get some help. Couldn't find anything in the forum relating directly to my issue. So I purchased the Verizon note 4 and I'm using it on GSM network in Ireland. I'm not sure if that is the reason for this issue or something else? Anyway in the default msg app and Verizon msg app I cannot reply to a msg directly, I have to go back and start a new msg everytime. It's frustrating more than anything. I can reply when using whatsapp so it's obviously something related to the stock apps. I haven't tried hangouts yet but that may work also. I'd prefer to use the stock or Verizon app. I have restarted the phone, cleared data and cache of the apps. The phone was factory reset when I got it so don't feel this is an option? Any help greatly appreciated. Android 5.0.1, 32Gb Verizon version.
I can't understand why that would be. I can suggest turning your data connection on while texting. I have issues receiving images and sending images via text without data enabled.
