[Q] Rooted Eris: mms never sends except w/stock ROM - General Questions and Answers

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.

Fuze Can't Send or Receive SMS!!

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

Can't receive Pic Messages on FUZE w/ T-mobile

I have a Fuze that's been unlocked to work for t-mobile. I've been getting help from you guys/gals on here (thanks a lot), but I need a few more tips.
1. I can't seem to RECEIVE picture messages from people (also, I think that I'm getting in my "inbox" any message that I sent outgoing??). Is there a setting I need to adjust, or is it a ROM issue? any other software that I can use to change/update my text messaging management?
2. I don't know if I have a regular or cooked ROM, and I don't know what version I have, do you know where to find this info out?
I'm not very technical, but I'm trying to learn.. please explain very plainly if you can...
Thanks.
I am on tmobile also with an unlocked fuze and get picture messages just fine. Can you explain more as to what is happening? do you get regular text messages? and is it only picture messages that you dont receive can you receive voice text messages?
[on a side note] I'm not sure what has been done to my phone since I bought it used. it looks as thought the att bloaware has been uninstalled, and I also have a Tab in setting that says "xbmod manilla fro xda dev, TouchFLO 3D 2.0 3737395.3" whether or not that might affect anything. [end side note]
I DO get text messages, and I've never been sent a voice text (I'll have to test this). the weird thing about my messages is that they show up on the main TF3d screen, however they don't seem to be anywhere in the folders
When I tried to test getting an MMS message with a pic added, I had my sister send me 2 messages. one with only text (just saying "hi") and another with only a photo added. They both show up on my main MESSAGES TF3d tab, and the MMS message says "Click to view MMS", however when I click on the message it takes me to menue with my conversations with my sister and there is NO SIGN of the MMS message, only the one that says "hi".
Thanks for the response.. I really want to figure this out.
BUMP
Somebody please help me fix this problem I have ROM At0mAng V5.4, and I just need to configure/setup my phone to work on t-mobile. If you know how to do this or have any idea please help

[Q] Eris KaosFroyo and GSB 1.7 wrongly autoconvert sms to mms

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.

GO SMS PRO MMS Question

Done a search but didn't really bring up anything that helps me.
Can someone tell me what i need to do to ensure when i send a MMS that the person receives it, i use GO SMS Pro and sent a MMS to several people but none of them received it, i went into settings but to be honest im not really sure what i have to do, do i check the boxes "fill user agent manually" and/or "Fill APN configuration manually" also do i have to do something with the stock SMS thing?
Thanks
The only times I've had issues sending a MMS is if I try to send it with my mobile data turned off. I frequently do that when I am on wifi to save battery.
Does anyone know what is happening here tried again and no luck, im getting charged for sending these MMS too even though the people im sending them to are not receiving them
[APP] GO Sms Pro V3.70 is released
Please use the search and post in pre-existing topics....
Also post in correct sub forum since a [Q] if posting a different subject...
On that note thread closed.

[Q] Pls help me hack a setting to send a large # of work related SMS messages.

I use my device for work. I coordinate/schedule jobs in which there are many people who can work certain slots. So, I'll send out one text message to about 75-84 individuals. Then the ones who can work reply. Later, I send out another mass SMS advising of remaining slots to be filled.
My issue is this. In the Android code a section checks for the number of text messages send within the last hour. If you exceed 100 messages - then, Android throws an error for every message afterwards within that hour and the user has to select "OK" to send an SMS. So, at times I have to sit there and select "OK" over and over again for several minutes while the over limit SMS's are sent....
I found an old record on how to fix this issue here.
However, this APPEARS to be an old solution. I was unable to find this setting or the table "gservices" in "/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
Does anyone know where this was moved or how to change this setting?
My device is a an LTE Galaxy Nexus.
I'm running AOKP-build 33. But, I would think this setting would be generic to all of the current ICS ROMs.
Thanks for any advice.
BTW - I found some very old posts related to this same issue. Note:
1) Using an app will not address this issue (I use Chomp SMS) as this is coded within Android.
2) Google Voice will not work as it doesn't recognize "groups" for the "to" box.
3) Pulling the battery will just prevent all the texts from going out.
I'm just hoping someone knows where the file/code is located that I need to modify.
All other suggestions will not resolve this issue.
