Hi Guys, I've got this bugging question; How does MMS work? I've never been able to get mine to work and I am with O2 IK.
Someone sent me an MMS, it says to download but then it can't download, I imagine I need to put the UK settings in? But how does it download via GPRS or Wifi? Does it cost to receive MMS because I have so many in my inbox.
Lastly if I do need some setting would someone be kind enough to provide them please.
Thanks,
Smith.
Well if I m right, u have to send a MMS from ur Phone to another, than u are able to recieve MMS directly!
I'm having exactly the same trouble and I have sent one correctly but still can't download ones sent to me. I have checked all settings as sent to me by e-mail from O2 customer support. Has anyone got mms working correctly?
Same problem here. O2 customer service said it hadn't been activated on my account, but would be done within 48 hours. That was a week ago.
I haven't looked into it any further, and suspected it would be simply a case of sorting out the settings on the phone.
O2 are a nightmare with MMS. When I first got my XDA on O2 and migrated from T-Mobile, it took numerous calls to get it working.
Every time I phoned up they said that MMS had been provisioned but whoever did it, did it wrong. They then promised to fix it and it would work in 24 hours.
This happened three or four times before it eventually worked.
Good Luck!

Hey everyone. For some reason, I'm not receiving text messages. People are able to see the messages I send, but I can't get any from them. This is really starting to bug me.
I used NoGPRS To disable MediaNet and AT&T ISP GPRS. Does this have something to do with it?
hey i got the same sorta problem. started happening last night. i would recieve texts way late. im not sure. im running romeos
I'm not recieving texts at all.
The only time I get texts or send them, is when I take the battery out, put it back in, and fire it up again woked once or twice,
Stock Fuze ROM
Got a new SIM card from at&t and didnt help...
Please help....
I have the problem of texts coming in really late or when I open the messages program. I am on Vodafone UK. Wonder if its a software problem? What software are you using?

I was using the stock at&t rom, but I flashed elite rc3 on my phone and now its instant again... it has to be software related.
Cutting a long story short, I lost my last phone, and replaced it, via EBay, with a touch-pro 2
I was hoping for a uk unbranded, but alas, my money saving skills meant I wound up with a US Cellular TP2
I've had the phone a few weeks now, but am totally unable to get MMS working in a satisfactory way. I've tried a few ROMs, and the best success i had was Mighty Rom - initally no MMS software meant it just ignored MMS's totally - which I was first aware of when a friend asked me why i hadn't replied to one. Eventually with Arcsoft i could send MMS, and I could kinda recieve an MMS - but there would just be blankness - an no contact details - so now i knew I'd be sent an MMS I justn't didn't know what, or by who. Handy.
I had one rom which could recieve MMS's fine - but took 4 hours to pick up SMS messages - not good! So I know it can be done. I just need the ultimate package.
Anyway, I'm fairly Tech Savvy, though i have limited knowledge of all this rom cooking that goes on, but I'm capable of flashing roms etc.
What I want to know is are there any O2 uk customers out there sucesfully sending and recieving MMS messages on their CDMA Rhodiums? What ROM are you using? What hacks did you need to put in place? How can I get a similarly awesome experiance?
Any help much appreciated
I bought a droid x and sent it to a company to be flashed to work with the verizon straight talk service. Apparently everything was working fine before he shipped it back to me. I just got it two days ago and I can't make/receive calls or text messages. I can get on the web.
I called him up and he said straight talk is having issues. I called straight talk and tried to get it working. They told me a bunch of codes to put into the phone. I pretended to do so. They told me to restart the phone and call *228 to program. I did so but to no avail. Finally they told me that I am out of my area and they don't provide roaming service. Did something change with that? I read on there website you can use it anywhere in the states...
I sent them a email with my info and they said they would have there network analyst review my issues.
Has anybody else had the same issues?
What can I do to get this work? I have been out of a phone for over a month now. I can really use some help. Please...
I recently left Orange (UK) and went with Virgin for a month and now I'm back with Orange. Each time I took my number with me except this time something has gone wrong. Ever since my porting day (Monday) I haven't been able to send a text, yet, I can make/receive calls, use data and even receive texts.
I originally thought my accidental wiping of the SMSC was the cause of the problem but having restored that (using this and asking them to give me a update text) it seems it was just a coincidence (although, I'm not convinced).
I have spoken to Orange four times this week and on Tuesday I was told that Virgin had not properly released my number and that it would be up to the porting department. Said department rang me the following day (Wednesday) and said that my number would properly port by midnight that night (i.e. by now).
I rang again today and Orange said Virgin had still not released 'the files' regarding my number and that it would be done by midnight. I poliletely told the lady that I didn't believe her and she's promised to ring me back tomorrow after it has been sorted.
To me, this all sounds a bit fishy. I don't understand how I am able to make/receive calls, etc. and just not send texts. Am I right to be suspicious? Has anybody experienced any similar problem? Does it sound plausible? Maybe I'm being too cynical but I'm getting sick of spending half an hour a day on the phone to them and still not being able to use my brand new phone how I'd like!
Thank you for your time and I hope someone can cheer me up!
P.S. For the record I have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus and I have tried a different sim in the phone which worked and my Orange sim in a different phone which didn't work. When a text fails to send I get no error whatsoever, just 'Message failed to send, retry?'.
I work for O2 & sometimes it has been known to happen. When you move a number by using a PAC Code, it moves the number but as there is no number on the account... It then closes/disconnects the account.
If there is a Porting problem, the Customer Service Adviser should have a chat with the Help Desk or Tech team as they can try and sort it. However, sometimes we advise customers to talk to there previous network provider as the port in completes correctly with us but not with them.
Hope that helps?
you really help me

Thanks for your reply. They kept promising me it'll 'be done by midnight' on various days and obviously it hasn't. They keep saying this is Virgin's fault. Do you think it is Virgin's fault and that I could achieve anything if I rang them up (which I dread, I haven't liked their call centres)? If so, what would I say?
Cheers, Rowan.
Edit: I just rang them up again and they now say the porting completed and they still weren't sure so are sending me a new simcard. Fingers crossed!
Hi folks. i have this prob and trying to find the solution.
I can receive MMS from overseas BUT i cannot send them. In US all is fine but not international..All settings are fine as well as data settings. Any idea ? it says "pending" in the message status and never goes
It happens with all my international contacts in different carriers. I have not be able to sent mms international all tho i have try several times, with 3 different countries, one was Romania, the other was Italy and the other was Greece. I'm more interested for Greece (my relatives are there), i have receive several mms (mostly pics) from them, from different providers ( Vodafone, Wind, and Cosmote) but every time i send one (in any of their carriers) never goes through and getting a permanent "pending" under status of mms. I have use the standard message app that came with my phone (LG G2X) as well and other apps like Handcend sms, but none goes through. Here in US all good, but not international. so i'm wondering if there is a special setup i have to do in the phone for that or our carrier have restrict this feature.. This problem is ONLY with MMS and NOT with SMS since all sms i have send there are going all through). My data program is unlimited as well and the messaging. On T-Mobile network full signal and 4g when i try. G2X is rooted but stock Rom. I have try most of troubleshooting (reboot, airplane manual set carrier etc) with no results. T mobile support says all working ok with network. Any info on settings or how i can fix this will be greatly appreciated. . Thank you in advance.

Hm.. I spoke with T-mobile the other day since I'm leaving for Australia in a couple of weeks, and they had to initiate some kind of "unlock" process so that the G2x could operate on international networks (assuming I understood them correctly). I don't know if this is simply for use outside the US or for use between other countries and the US.
But, at the time, my G2x was rooted, running Paranoid Android CM10 (build 8?). They asked for my IMEI number and things went along without a hitch. Don't know if this helps but I'm thinking there might have to be some kind of activation process to allow the phone to communicate internationally.

Thanks for the reply BUT my phone its already unlocked to work internationally (every provider that finances a handset locks it so you cannot use it with another carrier b4 the contract expires and if you need to use it then they send you an unlock code).
My problem is this : I can receive MMS from overseas BUT i cannot send them. and i'm based in US.
Thanks again in advance.

Sorry about that - I seem to have missed the part where you can still receive overseas...
If you're phone is already unlocked to use internationally, then I don't know what else could it be since you've tried both stock and 3rd party message apps. Have you tried sending via wifi?
