MMS failure in leaked Froyo UCJI6

Unable to send MMS with the leaked Froyo UCJI6. The image shows up as a slide and then fails to send.
I previously used market access, but reverted back to AT&T APN settings, and have verified that the APS settings are correct, but still unable to send MMS'. Is anyone else having this issue and has anyone found a fix. Thanks

This is a known issus and posted by a few people in the froyo issues thread here: Captivate froyo issues
Currently there is no fix

Where do you check MMS settings?
This sucks; you'd never know you were not receiving MMS until someone asks if you received it. Also, you'd never know until you try and send an MMS.

I can send MMS just fine running Cog 2.2. Haven't received one lately so I can't comment on that end. I'm also using Handcent so it could be something with the stock MMS.

Just set message center to +13123149810 its blank for some reason fixed it for me.

Mine was already set to that.
If I go into APN settings, the username and password are blank and you can't edit them...so my guess is that its something related to that.
When i try to send a MMS, I get "error in server response".

very weird... but now, all is fine.
went to check the APN settings under settings, network
then wen to check the message center settings
then, asked a friend to send me an mms, replied with an mms...
all seems to work now. weird.

Try sending the word "Test" to 151 & see if att replies. Thats what att told me to do then that worked mut other messages failed then they asked for my IME # then they told me to set message center to +13123149810 & turn the phone off & remove the battery for at least 30 secs. (I think they might have done something too) Then it just started working when I turned it back on. (I never mentioned 2.2 or gave them any indication that the phone wasn't stock)

The Message Center address is for SMS only and has no impact on MMS. It is only needed for outgoing (mobile originated) text messages.

I was able to get MMS working by creating a new APN using the following settings. After I set it up, I selected the new APN and rebooted.

Had this happen to me too...weird about the slide show play thing...did find that if sending to local # the 1 was not required (none of my contacts on Google or in Outlook include the 1). When I tried it with the 1 for non-local #'s it went through fine.

Called AT&T tech and they fixed mine. Now working. Able to send and receive.

I'm able to send an mms if i share from the gallery, but not if i attach directly from the messaging app.

Unable to send SMS/MMS to AT&T Phone

My girlfriend has a Samsung Captivate and she can send me SMS/MMS but I cannot send her.
I have called AT&T Tech Support and also T-Mobile Tech Support, nobody can give me solid answers or resolutions.
Our workaround is to use that TiKL Touch2Talk Application for messaging, but this is simply annoying!
Anyone? Ideas? Also, anyone wish to PM me a phone number if they use AT&T so I can test with your line?
Thanks a lot guys,
Michael

What phone are you using and through what carrier and also what firmware?

I am using the Samsung Galaxy S 4G with T-Mobile.
Stock firmware, haven't flashed anything. Its out of box.

Try going into Settings/Wireless and Network/Mobile Network Settings and then Access Point Names.
See if there's an APN showing T-MOBILE US then underneath epc.tmobile.com
If there's nothing then click the menu key on the bottom left and select New APN.
Either way make sure it matches these settings.

I'm referring to sending MMS messages. MMS has always been an issue even on the Vibrant. Oh BTW! removing the dashes is one of the quick fix that you can do to fix the MMS sending issue! if you use the search bar you will see what i'm talking about... soo search around this forum instead of asking and laughing at the someone who is trying to help with your situation. I suggest go find help somewhere else!

Not laughing at you, just laughing at how there isn't really any information about this...I have never had a problem like this before with any phone....

[Q] Nexus S and Softbank (Japan): How to get it working?

Hey guys,
I seriously need your help. I can't receive MMS (S!Mail) with my Nexus S and the japanese carrier Softbank, no matter what I try. Last year the same problem with my old Motorola Milestone.
Android 2.3.5, CM ROM #167 nightly
Baseband: I9023XXKD1
In 2009, I bought a silver USIM Prepaid from Softbank (still valid) with a Softbank 822p phone.
Until now I tried the smile.world and openmms APN, different Apps (Handcent SMS, Go SMS Pro, Softbank Mail), but I can only receive notifications. It shows a download button, but if I hit that, I get the instant error "download not possible. Please try again later". Wifi turned off.
This didn't help as well:
http://ryufly.wordpress.com/2011/07...end-receive-mms-after-upgrading-to-cm7-1-rc1/
If anybody can help, that would be great! Every little hint is appreciated.

does the softbank mail app not work?
found this:
http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...arp-Android-phones-with-Softbank-(Go-SMS-Pro)
Using another SMS/MMS app on Sharp Android phones with Softbank (Go SMS Pro)
First download the following apps:
Go SMS　Pro
Go SMS Emoji Plugin
Under Receive Settings, check the Disable other message notification checkbox. This means SMS will only be received in Go SMS but unfortunately it cannot stop the MMS from being received by the stock app (more on that later)
In MMS Settings:
Check the Fill user agent manually checkbox (under User Agent)
Change the user agent to this:
Vodafone/1.0/V802SE/SEJ002 Browser/VF-NetFront/3.3 Profile/MIDP2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1
(Cant make any mistakes, so best to copy/paste)
Under APN　Configuration, select Custom Access Point
MMSC: http://mms
MMS Proxy: sbmmsproxy.softbank.ne.jp
MMS Port: 8080
Under Important Tips, select the checkbox saying Stock messaging app uninstalled
If you dont select this then Go SMS wont download MMS at all. In that case Go SMS can be used for SMS only (i.e. other Softbank only) - MMS would go to the stock Softbank app.
In my case i hated how the Softbank app chews up 100% of the CPU for about 30 seconds as it tries to download an MMS. When you are playing a game it really makes you hate the sender for screwing up your gameplay!
Lastly go into the Softbank mail application
Settings → S!Mail Settings → Receive/Display Settings → Mail receive method → Change to Sender/Subject only. Then under notification settings, turn off the lamp, turn off vibration, change the notification sound to be something quiet like "Facebook Pop"
After all of that, when you get an email you will get a double notification - one from Go SMS and one from Softbank. Thats unavoidable unless you uninstall the Softbank app. But only Go SMS will get the full MMS, and you can keep ignoring the Softbank mail notifications
Seems to be working good for me so far. I love being able to type and reply to messages without the annoying "sending" screen. And being able to see new messages as they appear instead of having to get out of the message being edited, to see the new messages

i can confirm it works on my DHD

The key is not only getting the right apns but also getting that user agent string in your mms app.
Cyanogen mod can do it, or go sms pro too if you don't want to run cm.

@SQ3.0dotJP
Not even the Softbank Mail App works, giving me the same error message as other apps. The solution you quoted wont work as well.
Regarding error messages: the only thing I can achieve is that either I get an instant error message (cant download...) or a timout error message (trying to download...after some time: cant download).
I think it's a minor detail, but I cant figure it out.
@patrixl
How to configure the User Agent with CyanogenMod? The only option I know is within message apps like Go SMS Pro and Handcent SMS.

The user agent code is in the line i posted. You tried it in go with no results? Wish i could help. Where are you BTW?

Never heard of it and won't finde informations about it with google. Could you elaborate on it a bit?

Hi guys,
I've spent the entire day trying to get this to work.
Just FYI, I have a Nexus S, rooted, Cyanogen mod 7 and just got a prepaid sim from softbank.
I've followed the instructions given here to the letter. Go SMS Pro is certainly a better app than the Softbank crap.
I can received messages, as in I caan see the title, but when I click them it says "Currently Unable to Download. Please Try Again Later". The same thing happens in the softbank app or another mms.apk I got where you could change the User Agent from a list. I also cannot send any messages, it just sits there with the little circle going around and around.
I've tried both the APNs that came with the Sim (Softbank(open) and Softbank(smile.world)) with no luck at all. I also downloaded the App the guy in the quoted post suggested, but it fails with any APN or web proxy combination.
I've also looked at other APNs online and tried a whole bunch.
I don't understand what setting is wrong. I've literally spent about 8 hours on this now, and I think I may be going a little crazy.
ANY help with this will be rewarded with knowing you have made my year (or at least my month).
Thanks very very much,
N.

SOLVED! Nexus S on Softbank Prepaid!
:clapping:
Hopefully this will help others who troll online trying to get their Android (perhaps a Nexus S) to work with Prepaid Softbank.
For the fix, I did the following. Note, one or two parts MAY be unneccesary, I'll test it all later. A quick note, I initially installed the Softbank Mail app from the Market, but since I'm rooted I just uninstalled it after it was all working and it still works GREAT! So you DON'T NEED to use that app. Just FYI.
Download the following:
Go SMS Pro
Go SMS Emoji (if you like Emoji)
Softbank Mail (Get rid of this if you are rooted)
Follow the instructions as stated by Tokyo_Dom, repeated here:
Go SMS
Under Receive Settings, check the Disable other message notification checkbox. This means SMS will only be received in Go SMS but unfortunately it cannot stop the MMS from being received by the stock app (more on that later)
In MMS Settings:
Check the Fill user agent manually checkbox (under User Agent)
Change the user agent to this:
Vodafone/1.0/V802SE/SEJ002 Browser/VF-NetFront/3.3 Profile/MIDP2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1
(Cant make any mistakes, so best to copy/paste)
Under APN　Configuration, select Custom Access Point
MMSC: http://mms
MMS Proxy: sbmmsproxy.softbank.ne.jp
MMS Port: 8080
Under Important Tips, select the checkbox saying Stock messaging app uninstalled
If you dont select this then Go SMS wont download MMS at all. In that case Go SMS can be used for SMS only (i.e. other Softbank only) - MMS would go to the stock Softbank app.
Softbank Mail
Settings → S!Mail Settings → Receive/Display Settings → Mail receive method → Change to Sender/Subject only. Then under notification settings, turn off the lamp, turn off vibration, change the notification sound to be something quiet like "Facebook Pop"
APN Settings
On your Android, go to "Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks". Make sure only "Date enabled" is checked, you don't need national or international roaming.
Then click "Access Point Names". Here I deleted EVERYTHING so it wouldn't get confused. I don't want 3G internet, as on Prepaid it is crazy expensive.
Add a new APN with the following details:
Name: Mail Web Service (This can be anything you want)
APN: mailwebservice.softbank.ne.jp
Proxy: sbwapproxy.softbank.ne.jp
Port: 8080
Username:softbank
Password:qceffknarlurqgbl
Server: <Not set>
MMSC: http://mms/ (< This is "http : // mms /" without the spaces if the forum removes urls)
MMS Proxy: sbmmsproxy.softbank.ne.jp
MMS Port:8080
MCC:440
MNC:20
Authentication: PAP
APN type: mms
Save this. Now, at this point you SMail/MMS MIGHT be working. If it is, congrats and please let me know. If it isn't there are a few further steps that should get you there. I've found these on different forums, so appologies if I don't give credit where due. I think I found them here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21545288
PPP File
There MAY be a file on your phone at : / system / etc / ppp / peers / pppd-Ril.options.
There wasn't on mine, but I created one anyway (oh yeah, probably need to be rooted for this). It contains two lines for the Username and password, which you must change to correspond to the same username and password in your APN settings. Otherwise, it never seems to use the right one, and therefore your MMS or data will not work. You'll need to root your phone and figure out how to edit or copy an edited file onto your phone. So, change those two lines to look like this:
user softbank
password qceffknarlurqgbl
Give it a try and see if it all works.
Data On/Off
For some reason, whenever I first turn on the phone, the messaging only receives a header for each message, but refuses to download the actual message body. Even if I click 'download' on the message in the message app, it will not work, and will give me an error.
For the solution, everytime you start up your android, go to "Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks". UNCHECK "Date enabled", then reCHECK "Date enabled".
It was specifically after this fix that my messages started to be downloaded. It may have been this alone, but I already did the other bits. I might investigate more later, but I don't want to stop a good thing ATM.
SOME OTHER TIPS AND TRICKS
1) Make sure the APN is set to "mms".
I also found that it would work with the APN type set to blank instead of 'mms' in my APN settings. HOWEVER, with it set to blank, it was CONSTANTLY, I mean non-stop, using my 3G connection (as indicated in the status bar). It was trying to connect to the internet I presume. My Softbank prepaid service includes messaging but not internet service, nor do I have the APN for internet in my settings. But, without specifying my mms APN as 'mms' type, it trys to use that APN for internet as well. Anyway, that drained my battery very quickly! Set it to 'mms' so your 3G radio isn't working overtime to no benefit.
2) Alternate APNS that MIGHT work
APN: mailwebservice.softbank.ne.jp
Proxy: leave blank
Port: leave blank
Username:softbank
Password:qceffknarlurqgbl
Server:leave blank
MMSC:http://mms/

Sorry for MegaPost, just wanted to put this togeather for others to make it easy. It's about 24 hours work to finally get it sorted.

Thanks for clarifying things! I should have no problems now.

hey travisler just wondering - is your Nexus s a cdma version? I've been trying to get prepaid s-mail to work on my samsung captivate and it hasn't really been working. I'm just wondering if it's a hardware issue like whether the captivate just can't connect to softbank's mms network

Hey tanjierong,
My phone is from Korea so is GSM I'm pretty sure.
It is all still working fine, if you can connect to softbank (ie. you can make a call or recieve) then this hack should work for you. It has worked for a few other friends here too now with random android phones.
Hope you get it sorted.

Thanks
Omg travisler... I've been cracking my head since one month in Japan. Using Xperia s and I just can't get the app working. Tried several methods like pushing through mms.apk file using adb still doesn't works. Until I came across your post, works like a charm dude. Thanks a lot. Now I don't have to carry two phones at once :fingers-crossed:

Great bit of info you have provided here travisler.
I have put my Softbank 'dumbphone' (708sc) grey SIM into my Motorola Milestone, Cyanogenmod 7 phone. I want to use it like a 'dumbphone' that can use wifi so I have no need for a 'smartphone' data plan. It works as a telephone and I am in the process of getting 'text messaging' working. I have been reading quite a bit online and there is much information about getting MMS to work.
When one enables data as the APN guide instructs, this will only apply to MMS and not accidentally lead to huge bills for someone without a smart-phone data plan will it?
I followed the 'GO SMS' guide but not the 'APN Settings' guide and I ignored 'Softbank Mail', then rebooted. I get a new MMS sender and title notification in GO MMS Pro but when I try to download the full message I get the warning "please check that the network is available".
So I followed the instructions in the 'APN Settings' guide. There were already a couple of Softbank APNs there, they had a radio button beside them but my new one didn't. After a reboot there was a new icon (3G?) in the notification bar and I could download MMS but the first SB APN was still checked - I suppose the phone was using that SB APN and not the custom one. I removed both the original 2 SB APNs and rebooted and now I am back to receiving the warning "please check that the network is available" when I try to download MMS.
My MMS address is ****@q.vodafone.ne.jp as I already had a Vodafone subscription when Softbank took over and I cannot change the address to ****@softbank.ne.jp, would this require a tweak on the MMS settings I inputted?
Or perhaps my SIM card is the issue. It is not a 'pre-paid' SIM but one from my contracted 'dumb-phone'.
I'd appreciate some help please.

Thank you very much!
This worked for me with the white prepaid SIM.
I did all the steps you listed and used the first APN settings that you recommended, except that I had to set the APN type to "default,mms".
If I only enter "mms", I would sometimes get the 3G icon, but I could not download the messages.

I tried this and still no go. I have a sh203 sharp from softbank. I added the apn but i cannot edit the stock apn since i cannot find a way to root my phone.
When i chose the apn i created i loose my internet data..

[FIX (Possibly)] MMS sending/receiving Issues

So this has been bothering me since the first time I flashed a custom rom on my G2x (had this phone since late September), I know that my data speeds suck and that it's common for a custom rom to mess up our phones' data sending/receiving capabilities (using a mobile network that is). So I've been searching, calling technical support, and playing around with my phone for a long time, and I might have just figured it out, so why not share
To make it clear, this is for anyone who has 2 SEPARATE APNs (one for internet access and one for MMS), especially wind users, since I'm one. No harm can be done from trying this, if it doesn't work for you, just restore your APNs to default and move on.
So here it goes:
In settings -> wireless & networks -> mobile networks -> access point names -> Wind CA MMS (or whatever your MMS APN is), now change the APN type to <not set> (i.e. delete whatever's there and hit ok) and change Authentication type to None (it's usually <not set> by default) then hit the menu button and save.
What this mainly does is it breaks the link between the internet APN and the MMS APN, so to use one of them you'd have to manually select the relevant one then do what you need to do (i.e. now you have to manually select Wind CA MMS (or whatever your MMS APN is) from the access point names menu, turn data on, send/download your MMS, then do whatever you want after, or go back and select Wind CA (or whatever your internet APN is) to get internet access)
By default the 2 APNs are linked and when you need to use MMS your phone switches to the proper APN, then switches back when you need internet access. I'm guessing my phone's been having a hard time finding it's way to my MMS APN (even with it's dual core processor lol) since the data icon usually disappears as soon as I hit send! So doing this manually is more work but it solves the problem (for me at least, and hopefully for you )
I know this sounds like a pain, but I've been able to send and receive MMS at speeds I've never seen before on my phone
Good luck and don't forget to hit the thanks button whenever appropriate

I wasn't trying to be an ass or anything, sorry dude! I don't use the xda app on devices I usually log on through the browser, so I don't know how the app works! I just thought it was strange that you asked, forgive me if I insulted you in any way.
The thing is, the carrier I'm with has limited coverage in Canada and my area was only recently added plus they used to have one APN for both internet and MMS which worked better but they changed it and it's been giving me problems ever since! But with this fix I can send/receive MMS in seconds now

I'm a wind user in waterloo as well. I did notice the phone gets confused sometimes when I try to send a MMS, it'll send it but every once in a while show up in the message screen to resend (over and over again).
Anyway so I tried to change the settings, the phone let me save those settings saying "The APN cannot be empty." Although when I look at the APN, it clearly says <not set> like in your original post...

The thing is, the carrier I'm with has limited coverage in Canada and my area was only recently added plus they used to have one APN for both internet and MMS which worked better but they changed it and it's been giving me problems ever since! But with this fix I can send/receive MMS in seconds now

I'm a wind user in waterloo as well. I did notice the phone gets confused sometimes when I try to send a MMS, it'll send it but every once in a while show up in the message screen to resend (over and over again).
Anyway so I tried to change the settings, the phone let me save those settings saying "The APN cannot be empty." Although when I look at the APN, it clearly says <not set> like in your original post...

It's not the APN you need to change, it's the APN type, should be the second to last entry in the list, try it out and let me know if it works

And my solution is....
Here is how i fixed my MMS send/receive issue on WIND with cm7..
1. Restore APN to default
2. Change user-agent in Messaging->settings to Android-Mms/2.0 which is the default "Custom" on cm7
3. Enjoy your MMS sending are receiving.
PS. You will still get disconnected when sending MMS.
EDIT: if you are updating your RIL (using getRIL or any other method) to V11H or something other than v20c (CM7 default RIL) change the user-agent in Messaging Messaging->settings to the default on cm7. Otherwise you will not be able to send MMS with the v11H ril.

Thank you Good_Newz ! This did the trick!

Im using Hell Fire Phoenix 1.9 and still need tissues for my issues. Cant reliably receive mms... No problem sending but i tried the couple fixes here none of them seemed to do it. Any other Wind users having the same issue or any ideas?

Have you tried sending mms to yourself from your phone? or from another wind phone if you have one handy? (to see if you receive them)
My brother and I both have wind's G2x and I haven't had any problems with mms ever since i figured out the fix in the op, but my brother can't seem to receive from iphones especially (even with the fix)!! I guess it varies from one phone to another, or it's sender's phone has issues

After f*cking with it for hours and bugging the hell out of my friends (asking to send pictures over and over) I finally got it working by using gosms and filling in the apn settings manually in the app and whamo works great except iPhones.... figures...
Edit: sending mms to yourself is another good way to test it but it always seemed to work sending to myself just not receiving from others

unable to MMS on Tsugi Rom
hi fellow wind & Xda users, its great to find wind users here.
i would really like to solve this issue as everything else is working for me now, im using Tsugi's final rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358724 )and its great however in APN list i have four things listed
(will attach screen shot as well)
-internet (internet.windmobile.ca)
-Wind CA (internet.windmobile.ca)
-MMS (mms.windmobile.ca)
-Wind CA MMS (mms.windmobile.ca)
the first two are selectable , makes sense as i have internet .... also i can not modify any of the above , it says " default apn cannot be modified"
i created two new APN just like the last two but left the type Blank, didn't solve the issue.
what do you guys suggest or what am i doing wrong? how can i manually change those settings? perhaps through root explorer? thanks
EDIT: Also as i didn't have any input in TYPE ( blank) i was able to select the two new entries i created but i wasn't able to send/receive mms, when i added MMS to the type , they became un-selectable like the default mms entries! when i remove the mms type and leave blank i again can select them.

I think the fact that you cannot modify the default APN is a 2.3.3/2.3.4 specific issue, when I first created this thread I was running EB (which is 2.3.7) and had no problem modifying. If I were you, I would reset to default (hopefully you can do that on 2.3.4), Try modifying one more time, if that doesn't work, try a different messaging app like go sms and in MMS settings fill in all the APN information manually, hopefully that will work. Also, (if you haven't tried already) you could install getril from the market and see if your rils match, if not install a recommended one. If none of that works, maybe consider using a different rom, I found that MMS works on MIUI roms without having to apply the fix in the OP, and you can definitely modify the default APN on 2.3.7 roms.
Good luck

i tried everything you mentioned above and i am even running a MIUI rom right now , 2.3.7 with gosms, mms setting manually setup and even tried the OP fix with MIUI but still no luck,
only thing i can think of is when i checked the RILS eventhough it said it matches, it was recommending a different one for me, do you think that could be it? its kinda frustrating lol, i'll also flash to stock now and see if i'll still have the mms problem if not then i guess its the custom roms otherwise i don't know

What exactly is the problem you're having? You can't send or receive mms at all? or is it occasional? or is it just one sided (as in you can't send, but can receive, or the other way around)?
This might be a stupid question, and I don't mean anything by it, people just forget the simplest things sometimes! Do you have data enabled when you try to send or download an mms? (it took me a while to find out that I needed data enabled lol)
You can try to do a hard reset, a lot of users find that it works. While the phone is on, pull out the battery, then the sim card, wait at least 30 seconds, then put them back in and try to send something (like a picture) to yourself. Try this at least 3 times just to make sure (unless it works the first time).
Also, if all else fails, using go sms, you can send and download an mms using wifi, I used that for a while until I got my data to work.
If your rils are matching I don't think installing a recommended one would make a difference, the important thing is that they match.
Other than that I honestly don't know what to tell you, it might be an issue specific to your device. The very last thing you can do is restore to stock and go to a wind store and have them either fix it for you or send it in for repair, I'm sure your warranty hasn't expired yet.

It's normal for the data icon to appear next to wifi. With separate APNs the phone is usually connected to the internet one when data is enabled, but when you use mms the phone tries to switch to the mms APN which is (in my opinion) where the phone is failing, that's also why the data icon disappears when you hit send, it's trying to switch from one APN to the other, but fails!! Which kinda sucks. Either way, I'm currently running RG2x-MIUI v2.2.24 and here are my APN settins:
For internet access:
Name: Wind CA
APN: internet.windmobile.ca
Proxy: <Not set>
Port: <Not set>
Username: <Not set>
Password: <Not set>
Server: <Not set>

Authentication type: None
APN type: default,supl
APN protocol: IPv4
For mms:
Name: Wind CA MMS
APN: mms.windmobile.ca
Proxy: <Not set>
Port: <Not set>
Username: <Not set>
Password: <Not set>
Server: <Not set>
MMSC: http://mms.windmobile.ca

MMS port: 8080
MCC: 302
MNC: 490
Authentication type: None
APN type: <Not set>

Also, I guess in MIUI there's an auto-Switch option if you have more than one APN, doesn't really matter if it's on or off, doesn't help!

Anyone with "new message" Straight Talk MMS issue?

I can't even get my MMS to work with st and nexus 5. Using hangout I send an MMS and says sent but the other person never gets it. When I get an MMS just says tap here to open then the ... Sit there and go but nothing shows up. Sounds like this a st issue as I've come across 100's of other complaints.
What are your APN settings?

Here is what I use for Straight Talk AT&T, haven't had any problems.

Yup it does say new message, I just never noticed it...

I am also having this issue. What's strange is that it cropped up after using MMS over Straight Talk in Hangouts for a few days without issue. I've tried deleting threads, deleting app data cache, etc. No matter what I've tried, keeps happening. I've also tried using different APN settings to see if that would fix the issue. I'm convinced that this is an issue on the Straight Talk side and not the Android/Hangouts side. I saw that someone spoke with tech support at ST about this a few days ago and a ticket was filed to look into this further. Hopefully the issue is discovered on their side and it resolves the issue for all of us.
I do know that Textra seems to block the subject line, so there's that if it helps, but for me personally, I'd like to continue to use Hangouts, but without, <Subject: New Message> showing up for all received messages. Too bad there isn't an option in Hangouts settings to ignore subject lines for SMS...

I also cannot get MMS to work with Straight Talk on my Nexus 5.
I've tried all the APN settings I could find. I also bought a new SIM card from the start, so that's not it.
Need help!

Nevermind, I got it working now.
Turns out it was just the app I was using. In Hangouts I can send/receive MMS just fine with Straight Talk's recommended APN settings.

Hi,
What did you do to fix it? I'm having similar problems.
Are you able to receive text attachments? Like pictures?
I used the below APN setting for my nexus 5 and can make calls, get LTE, send text and text attachments and even recieve texts. BUT I can't receive any pics thru text. I'm using Textra as my SMS app if that matters.
Can anyone please help me out?
Thanks!

I'm having similar problems as you. My APN settings are a bit different, but like you I can send/receive text messages, make/receive calls, connect to the LTE network, send MMS messages (successfully), I just cannot receive MMS messages. Every time I get a MMS message (in Hangouts BTW) I get a text saying "Touch to download MMS message. Size: xxKB. Expires: dd/mm, hh:mm pm". When I touch it it just "spins its wheels" and eventually says retrying below the message.

Hey guys, I've been having considerable trouble getting mms to work but got some APN settings from Straight Talk tech support that seem to be working. They are identical to the ones brooks posted, except that there was no value for the "port" field. Hangouts would still not receive MMS but I could send them. After installing textra and setting it as the default for sms, everything now seems to be working fine.

This fixed it for me
