I have a g1 running cm 4.2.15.1 and I've been having issues receiving MMS messages, but can send them just fine (pictures, videos, etc) My notification led comes on and it shows "unknown mms received" but when i pull down the notification bar it disappears. I have no problems with SMS messages sending or receiving. If I remember right, I've been having issues with this since CM released their latest set of stable roms post Google hassle.
Really? Why would you create a new thread for this?
Post it here.

A little reading in that thread and you will find a lot more info on it.

My Niki is getting a little, er, awkward at handling MMS at the moment, I'll explain :
It does seem incredibly slow at downloading/opening MMS, and invariably the messages are nothing more than plain text (some friends who have bizarre text plans).
I can be in the middle of writing a text message, and then an incoming (text) MMS is received, and the phone is basically useless whilst the message is coming in.
And earlier it decided that it wasn't going to open any of the MMS that had been received this morning, would only open SMS.
Left it for a few minutes, no change, so decided to do a full power off reboot. Started back up again, and it had deleted all the messages that had been received in the last 10 or so minutes.
Any suggestions on what I could do to improve the general SMS/MMS handling? The phone is running on the stock Orange rom.
ps. please don't suggest using pocketcm instead - it doesn't seem to be able to send SMS at all on my Niki
While trying out various ROMs, I found the same problem on two ROMs:
sms works fine unless I want to send one to Page Plus for an account status report.
In the "To:" field, as soon as I enter "xxx.com", a quick popup notifies me the sms is being changed to an mms. There seems to be no reason for this as the content is simply "bal" in the title field, then I "send".
Furthermore, the mms freezes during sending and never transmits at all.
with a bit of testing I see that as soon as I enter a (dot) and "c" in the "To:" field, the message changes. It will revert back if I delete those characters.
It is completely unrelated to long text messages(- the only discussions I can find on the subject). It "autoconverts" before I have started entering a message at all.
Has anyone else dealt with this issue? Have I missed a fix for this?
Thanks for any ideas. This is unfortunately a problem on my favorite ROM of all.

Running GSB 1.7 and otherwise LOVE IT!
I've tried many ROMs, and except the stock ROM, mms always locks up with an endless upload- I've come back next day to see that the phone is still 'sending' the mms. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a fix to this?
A couple of possible clues to the problem:
I cannot include even a partial example below since xda interprets it as an attempt to add a web link in my posting. So I merely spell ampersand in the hope that I can get this question posted. Arggh!
I commonly send a sms to a page plus dealer to get my current account status, and I see that as soon as the phone detects that I am sending a sms to a website (meaning that when I include an ampersand in the "To:" field...), the phone gives me a popup 'converting message to mms'. It 'converts' regardless of any/no content in the sms.
I can send sms endlessly with no problems, so long as I dont include the ampersand in the "To:" field.
I'd appreciate any help with this issue. I love running GSB 2.1 GingerShedBread and some of the other roms, but kindof need sms working properly.
I hope this is in the right forum...
Thanks.

Hi guys, I don't seem able to receive MMS on my NS4G. I get a message and notification but when I try to download it, nothing comes through. This has happened with three separate messages so far. Is this a Google Voice issue, CM7, or GoSMS?
There are a lot of reports of missing voicemail notifications on Nexus 5. I think I've read them all on this forum & some others including CyanogenMod threads about the Nexus 5. My specific problem:
On my Nexus 5, Voicemail SMS messages are being received from my carrier (O2 Ireland), appearing properly as unread SMS in my default messaging application (Handcent).
Every time they do, there is no notification icon in the drawer and no notification tone.
In my attempts to fix the problem:
I had this problem on stock KitKat when the phone was new with the 4.4.2 release, up through the 4.4.4 OTA upgrade, and continued to have the problem after installing CyanogenMod 11 with both the M10 and M11 releases.
I have disabled notifications in both Google Hangouts and the default SMS app ("Messaging").
Switching between Handcent and Messaging as my SMS app has no effect on the problem.
Using Google Hangouts as my SMS app is not an option for me, and Google Voice won't work with my phone number which is outside North America.
I have tried setting "Reminders" for unread SMS in Handcent, but it does not send reminders for notifications that never happen in the first place.
My current workaround, which is a poor one especially because it relies on keeping the phone display active all the time, is to use the Handcent Widget on my home screen which always displays the number of unread messages. At least this way I can see when the Voicemail text arrives, with an unread message count on the Handcent icon.
I am hoping to find any of the following:
Why the phone software (Android and/or its applications) gets the voicemail SMS but suppresses the notification
An APK or Market application that I can use to work around the problem
A software patch for this problem, or even a different ROM that has the problem fixed
One thing I have not tried is eradicating Hangouts from the phone. I wanted to start this thread first to see if there's a better way. If there's no suggested alternative, I'll try this and then post the result.
removed Google Hangouts, still nothing
More information: I have removed all the updates relating to Google Hangouts, rolled it back to the factory version, and removed the APK. Testing it at every step showed no change to the voice mail problem. So Google Hangouts may not be "stealing" the notifications but it doesn't mean the phone isn't hard-wired to deliver them to Hangouts or Google Voice.
I am following up with my carrier on this thread to see if there is a way of fixing this problem at the service level; it can be found by searching the O2 Ireland Community Forums for Nexus 5: no voicemail SMS notification (I can't post the link here).
Also, I am surprised not to have had a response at all from the community here. I have always believed xda-developers was a resource for developers at any level, even those like me who are at the first stage of trying to learn how the phone works. Even a tip about how phone notifications are delivered, and what might be getting in the way of them here, would be a help.
Handcent no voicemail notifications on Nexus 5
Problem was eventually solved by installing Chomp SMS. After seeing the same problem on both Handcent and the stock messaging app I had decided it wasn't likely to be an application problem: in hindsight, that was wrong. Nexus 5 appears different than other phones in that each incoming SMS from the Voicemail number replaces the last one. That tends to make the messaging app not issue a notification... but Chomp SMS must work differently since it isn't subject to that problem.
While still on Handcent I found the workaround of deleting the Voicemail message thread or last & only Voicemail SMS after every Voicemail notification. That forced the next one to be treated as "new" and triggered a notification every time. Today I wouldn't wish that workaround on anyone but the Handcent developers.
BTW in last few months of experimentation SlimKat has turned out to be a better choice for the Nexus 5 than CyanogenMod.
