I can't say for certain how long I've been having this issue because I don't use it that often but here is what I do know.
Sending and receiving MMS used to work fine (last time was several months ago with the stock Cingular 2.25 ROM).
About a month ago I backed up my phone with SPBBackup, unlocked my phone, and ultimately installed the Core 2.0 WM6 ROM. I had a few very small issues with this ROM, but no time to work through fixing them. Soo...
I reinstalled the factory Cingular 2.25 ROM and restored my backup. Things appeared to be functioning properly. During this time I successfully sent out 2 MMS messages (with 2 more messages failing... but that could have been a problem with their phone and not mine). Two days ago someone tries sending me multiple MMS messages and I get nada. No notifications, nothing. I've had two different people try, and nothing came through. When I sent them a message, it goes but they can't open it.
Woohoo, I have some spare time! I load the TMobile 2.26 IPL/SPL, TMobile UK 2.19.11 Radio, and Crossbow Reloaded 1.7. Wonderful, I love this ROM. Kudos to mfrazzz. Wait, what's that? I still can't send or receive MMS? Ok, I load the .cab files to restore the WAP and MMS settings and verify these with what Cingular has listed on their site. Still no worky.
I break down and call Cingular last night. After nearly 20 minutes on hold, the lady verifies that I should indeed be able to send and receive MMS with my plan and I am told I need to go to a store and have them swap out my SIM card to fix it. Grrr!
I now reload the factory Cingular 2.25 ROM and don't restore a backup. MMS still doesn't work. I verify MMS settings... still nothing. I reload the above mentioned .cab files... still nothing.
I'm at my wits end. Does anyone have any suggestions? Voice calls and SMS work fine, it's just MMS. Is there any chance that swapping the SIM will actually do anything?
Phone is a 8125 v3 on Cingular. Currently it is back to all stock 2.25.

something is disabled on your account most likely. Have you changed any features (add/remove) online or over the phone? sometimes these have dependencies or are "upgrades" to existing features and can disable a function that you need. When this situation happened to me it turned out to be that GPRS pay per use was taken off my profile when I added a $4.99/mo MediaNEt feature. Once they re-added that service to my account I was then able to send and receive MMS again.
I updated my Kaiser to Dutty's Dual Touch V3 Final ROM and so far I'm very pleased (slightly more lag than Schap's 4.30 ROM but at least the camera works now flawlessly). Unfortunately I just found out half an hour ago that the SMS/text messaging isn't working. I tried everything, even tried different Radio ROMs (currently working with 1.27.12.17) but nothing helped.
Everything works fine, internet, data connection, everything. Just SMS/text messaging doesn't work, I'm desperate. I don't want to do a hard reset because I already installed most of my applications (took me over 2 hours!) and it would be a pain in the a.. to go through this again.
Any ideas what could be wrong? Does anybody else have the same problem?
I already used the HTC Connection Setup utility (V 1.0) after each and every Radio change and it works (T-Mobile internet works fine) but I still can't send SMS/text messages. Any way to manually enter the SMS/text messaging access number without using the HTC Connection Setup utility?
SMS Service (Settings) is set to "SMS over GPRS preferred", I also tried "GSM preferred" with no result.
Please help! Thanks.
Have you called your carrier to make sure the service is active on the network? Doesn't sound like a ROM issue to me, I'm running Dutty's v3 and SMS works perfectly...
I've just updated to Dutty's v3 rom and text messaging works fine for me too.
I use dutty's roms since the begining, and all of them worked.
I'm actually having this issue with multiple ROMs with my AT&T Tilt. SMS messages worked up until a few weeks ago.
I'm going to have to call support to find out what's going on, since my phone will state that the SMS successfully sent, but they are never received & my data plan shows 0 text messages used...

Actually this is not a "problem" but a registry hack that has been implemented. If you want that feature back, the simplest way would be to run something like Kaiser Tweak to re-enable it, and tweak some other components while you're at it.
i've never flashed a ROM in my life. however, many people say that after you flash a ROM you should do a hard reset, which for whatever reason, tends to work out kinks like that.
no problems here. Man dutty's V3 ROM ROCKS!
^^^^ That is exactly what i do everytime i flash a new rom. Once its done flashing and loading i do a clear storage and then run thru it make sure things work and then load up my programs.
Maybe I should have added that I'm not a newbie.
I did a hard reset before I flashed Dutty's new ROM and I did a hard reset after the flash. Everything works fine, I installed all my programs.
Just found out that SMS receiving works, I assumed this doesn't work either because sending SMS wasn't working.
So there is only ONE problem: SENDING SMS doesn't work.
There is no problem with my provider (T-Mobile Germany), SMS is a standard service with them and doesn't have to be activated.
Anybody having a clue? Why can I receive SMS but not send it? GSM, GPRS, EDGE, UMTS and HSDPA data receiving/sending is working fine.
Oops: I might have an idea why sending SMS may not work, I'll check it out if it fixes my problem, stay tuned. I still appreciate all kind of hints if somebody has the same issue.
My problem was carrier related. They screwed up the features assigned to my phone when my wife upgraded her phone...
Hope you figure out your texting issue.
Hello everyone
I have been a fan of all cooks in xda-developers. I must say that I have tried every new Roms available.
One thing that keeps me trying the new roms is, can't receive MMS messages.
I am on AT&T in Atlanta area. I can send and receive sms but I can only send MMS messages.
I have used/ tried every radios too with same result.
Even Hyperdragon's AT&T mms hack didn't work.
I have searched and read all kinds of info on this and called AT&T to see if it was provisioned to receive mms. All the things are ok at the AT&T side.
I would love to solve and receive mms messages in the near future with your help.
Thanks guys in advance
sometimes it's a network issue with att. ive had this problem before. you just need to call att and they should be able to fix it. at least they did when my phone wouldnt send or recieve mms.
Ahh..I did that already with no such luck. Matter of fact , I called them 3 times so far. They told me to bring my phone in to do "sim-swap". As you know I can't do that because of " Cooked Rom" in my AT&T Tilt.
theres a link in the wiki explaining how to revert everything back to warranty settings

You can do a SIM-swap. They don't look at the guts of your OS just to change your SIM card.
Also, if you search the forums, there is a cab file that has all the ATT sms and mms settings in it. I use this when ever im having problems.
Also, are you using the default sms program built into WM or are you using an add on threader program?

Here is a customized ATT Settings cab that ATW and myself created that sets up the ATT settings w/o the proxy.
Mod Edit: Also allows creation mode in your MMS settings.
I had the same problem and tried may cabs posted some worked for a day and then failed again which I do not understand why. Finally I found this and it is working for me for a while. Try and see if it works.
I have tried "shogun_cing mms fix" with Hyperdragon. And still not able to receive mms ...dang.
On to try RR AT&T cab. I ll report back.
Maybe post exactly which rom you are using and post your message in that thread? I've had the exact same problem and have since try an MMS 1st thing after flashing to see if I am going to keep a ROM or not. Most new ROM's work since akaDonny went and found the dependency's needed for Arcsoft MMS.

By the way which rom did you use?
Well, after reading this thread last night I realized it's been quite awhile since I'd sent an MMS. Usually when I receive them, it has me go to www.viewmymessage.com. I don't think much of it because of all the flashing I do to my phone. Turns out after adding my settings, I couldn't send or receive MMS either. I called ATT told them my issue and somehow they fixed it again. I was told to turn my cell off and on 3 times and to wait 15 minutes before sending an MMS so that the data they were sending my SIM would fix it.

Well...just got back from AT&T store to do a sim-swap, jumping jelly fish- it's working now.
I am unsure if the sim-swap did the trick or some of the AT&T setting cabs I tried.
One way to find out is to flash other roms to see if it works.
Just can't understand why changing the sim card works....
they didn't have to swap my sim. i don't understand how they couldn't help you over the phone as well. Anyway, looks like your problem was resolved and that's what matters eh?

I used this and it worked as well. However does this have cab any side-effects?

I know the shogun cab usually fixes any problems im having with MMS when i flash a new rom.. Is this cab/fix better then the shogun cab.. could you explain the differences?
thanks...
still using schap's 4.30
Just because I don't want to start a new thread, shogun cingular works just fine with receiving mms, though generally 9 times out of ten I never receive or can't play without saving, the AUDIO part of mms' when sent even though everyone elses devices (non htc) play just fine. Very annoying issue as most of the recipients devices; Lg vu's, samsung, blackberry's, and even their ****ty razr's get full playback of video and audio in their mms. What say you All the Way?
No Problem
Ever since I had my sim card changed at AT&T store, every rom I flashed the sms and mms works prefect.
After new flash I let the "auto" connection setup do its thing and voila its working. On a rare instances when it does not work, I just use one the "AT&T Wap MediaNet & MMs setting" cab file.
for those of you having trouble with mms , try changing sim, it worked for me.
Hey Guys, first time posting...
My Fuze has been great, except when it comes to sending and receiving sms messages... I can't!!... and if I go Start/Messages none of my original text messages from my Sim are there.
It makes me think that the phone and sim card aren't communicating properly?... although I can receive and make calls... could it be something that needs to be changed in the registry? I have installed PHM Registry Editor but don't know what I need to change.
Also, I have TouchFlo on the phone and when I slide the menu tab to messages, I can see new messages that I have received (yes that's right, I receive msg's through touchflo, but no other way!), and they are stored on my phone and not my SIM! AND it doesn't notify me when a new msg comes in which is very annoying!! And the same problem... I can't send messages
So in summary, I think the texting side of the phone it not correctly setup and needs to communicate with my SIM card.. I assume it is a registry change that needs to be made?
Please help...
Thanks, Seireon

I have the same problem and emailed ATT, their response was that if the SIM that I have is 3G it should work fine on the phone. I need to call tech support with ATT to see if they can troubleshoot, as I will not exchange the phone due to some investments in it already like invisble barrier. If there is a issue with the SIM that I should be aware of please continue this thread as I know that there are many in the same hole. Thank you.
more info
Spoke with ATT CS the sim card has to be matched to your phone in order for it to work properly, I can send and receive mms and sms messages now.
ok same problem again sms, stopped working,
new developments I have been able to figure out that the problem is associated with the media net connection. once media net has established a connection, sms stops working. I have been unable to send multimedia messages, what I will try next is to try by flashing another ATT/Cingular ROM to see if the issue disappears, if it does then is a software issue, if it does not disappears then is a hardware issue and I'll have to change the phone for another.
I'll post in a few hours.
Í've been having the same problem with my phones. Every 3-4 weeks I will lose the ability to sms. I go to att online chat support and they reset my phone. I believe it is related to att's account systems because it happened once before I got the fuze and it occurs on every phone on my account. Ít's getting to be a hassle to swap my sim into my "dumb phone" to call att for a resolution. I might have to get the pda plan so I can gripe about it more.
Ok I have PDA plan.
Flashed the following ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=466219
Everything is working like a charm. I opted to flash that custom ROM because of its great reviews and apparent lack of issues. I'm still testing it, but so far is all good. I'll update if issues regarding this thread come to light. Thank you.
Having the same problem
Same problem here, although I can send text messages, my picture messages are hit and miss (miss in the beginning). ATT had me go in get another SIM card and do a hard reset... this kind of fixed it... now I can send/recieve sometimes.
I'm interested in hearing if the new ROM fixed this in the long run (not just for the first few days).
Hey,
got the same problem aswell now!
Flashed the same ROM, and now I can't send any SMS anymore. Before the flash I was able to (flashed from stock)
Would love to hear if you got it work! I'd like to know the solution!
Thank you
- luikki
4 days of testing and still working perfectly, if you have issues with sms, or voice mail, please check that you have the right numbers on the Voice Mail and Text Messages services, at
Phone, Options, Services. For Att in US they should be the following:
Text Messages Service Center: 13123149810
Voice Mail: ""write your account cell phone number""
Hope this helps. Thanks.
i had this problem when i first got my fuze.. sometimes the touchflo messes up when installing and a hard reset solved my problem..
Update, no problems so far everything is working like a charm. Thanks.
still have that same problem
i lost the ability to send or receive sms after i flashed my phone for the second time.
first time from stock, did rre fuze 4.5 special edition.. sms worked like a champ.
second time changed to romeos and things stopped working for sms altogether. weird thing is i can do that whole call "get numbers used" in my contacts, and it will text me how many minutes i have.
i cannot send nor receive any messages. iam getting frustrated with this because no one really seems to have an issue.
i just did two hard resets, flashed to rre fuze 4.5 special edition, and still cannot get anything to work.
i read somewhere that turning 3g off worked. it did not.
my voice mail and text message service reads as follows
text messages service center: +1 (312) 314-9810
is it supposed to read like that or what?
please advise.
Problem
I'm having the same problem with SMS, I can't send or recieve any pictures, audio files through messages, nor can I recieve or send bluetooth files once connected to another phone via bluetooth, does anyone have a answer to that?
btw I have flashed my phone at least 4 times. different rom versions until i found one i liked. Now i am barely noticing I can't sms
Hi Everyone,
I am running the latest At&t stock rom, however I never let the bloatware install run, skip it by soft resetting. For some reason I cannot receive MMS messages unless I let the bloatware install run. I have spoken to At&t and they have tried changing values but nothing. I am able to send messages with pictures but cannot receive, I am never even notified a message came in. Texting works and browsing the web works in both opera and PIE, does anyone have suggestions?
ROM: 1.95.502.5 WWE
RADIO: 1.02.25.32
You're not alone, I had a problem with SMS messages after trying to bypass bloatware on the leaked rom, now there is a new rob by htc out for the fuze, so we'll see how that goes
But my issue was that i could read the sms texts in TF3D, but i could not view the threads or even see the messages in the main text message program
Also i thought my phone was sending out texts, but it really wasn't
Finally I caved in and hard reset with the bloatware, now i'm using a flipclock cab file to bypass alot of the tf3d bloatware. - unfortunately the bloat programs are still installed.
Strange you can't receive though, That was about the only thing i partially could do with my phone
TF3d is the most annoying thing ever, I guess they wanted it to be like the iphone, I am pretty sure you can remove that. I think i am going to dump my registry and then do a hard reset, dump the registry again and compare what is different. It has to be something really stupid.
hi, try this, then go into MMS setting and change the size from 200KB to 600kb, hope this helps, i know the cab says Kaiser, but it just mms setting for att. works on my fuze perfect.
Lupe
That cab didn't work. I tried disabling HSDPA HSUPA and forcing 3G still nothing. Hard Reset, noticed like the fifth item installed during at&t is some MMS XML file, going to hunt for it now, anyways after i had it back at factory I got an MMS no problems... *sigh* i guess i will just delete as much of their crap as possible and live with it.
mms setting from HTC
how about this.

maybe,???

Just an Update... Loaded the most recent ROM from HTC: 5.11.502.2 WWE over a month ago and I can send/receive pictures just fine now, they must have fixed something or the network was having issues.
