[Q] Cyanogenmod 6.1.1 mms doesn't work

So I finally decided it was time for a new ROM after living with a Rooted stock for so long.I'm loving Cyanogenmod but with one issue. I cannot receive pictures from other Aria's... I got a picture from an iPhone but two other users that have Aria's sent me pictures and they simply says download of message was unsuccessful... I read about some setting changes with APN but that didn't seem to work with any of the changes I tried. Is this a known issue I somehow missed, a bug I should report somewhere, or am I just doing something wrong?

I personally don't know anyone else with an Aria...but I receive MMS messages all the time with no problem from many different phone...including other Androids. Don't know. I would try clearing data, both caches and try flashing again.

Yeah I have thought about reflashing since it was my first run at it with this phone but I didn't notice until a couple of days into having it, just got moved in! Oh well, that's the price for doing this kind of stuff. I was just curious to see if anyone else was having issues like I mine.

My opinion would be to wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache (advanced > wipe dalvik) and then reflash the rom. No need to WIPE data.

Well do u have mobile connection turned on? if I have it off I won't receive any mms

I didn't turn it off... but I have received pictures from an iphone so I would assume that means its turned on. Getting ready to brswattt's recommendation to see if it fixes it.

Ok so I tried wiping the cache's and reflashing, still no dice... I even tried going in a resetting cache and data for the messaging apps. Its doing it both in the messaging app and hancent... any thoughts? Maybe a complete wipe?

I have the same problem. I can receive from iPhones and other phones, but not my wife's Aria. I had this problem since September, with every RC of CM6. I assumed it was a ID10T error, but now that I see otehrs with the same prob, maybe not!

Both myself and the wife have arias...both running cm 6.1.1 able to send and receive mms to each other

Can you speak in English?
Anyway, have you guys tried changing the "Customer User-Agent" setting under the settings menu inside the SMS app? It spoofs the phone in to something else.

Tried the user agent, great idea, but it didn't work. I tried several different user agents...
@seanfinn - I think the issue might be Cyanogenmod receiving from stock Aria, since the two people that I'm having problems with are on stock ROMs but they can receive them from me with no problem.
I have noticed that even other Androids are working fine so its just Aria's... I would normally say forget about it and move on but the two people that I message the most are these two Arias - seems like that is how it always happens.

I think you are correct. My wife has a stock Aria, and that is the only phone I have trouble receiving from.

Issue with MikShifted-G v1.6?

I can't post to the ROM in the developers forum so I posting here. I just downgraded from GB last night and installed this ROM. I went today to update my PRL and it gets hung up after the update. When I click the OK box when done it goes to a black screen with the four bottom buttons lit. I can back out of it, but it will keep popping up telling me it is updated. Rebooted to get it to clear.

There really shouldnt be any issues with updating profile and prl, did you do a full wipe of system data and cache and also the dalvik cache?

Yes, wiped everything before installing ROM. Also having MMS issues, but that may be Sprint. SMS is fine though.

eh the mms issues come and go like usual i would tell you to update profile and prl but it seems sprint is doings some wonky things in your area give it a day or so and try it again just to make sure sprint isnt playing with the towers, i have been getting mms fine on Supreme and its a MikShifted-G base

Rather than starting a new thread, I'll add on here. The lockscreen icons have disappeared. I'm sure a restore has messed it up. It shows as 0 bytes under the installed apps. Before restoring the data they were there. Any ideas short of full wipe and re-install. David wipe and install didn't fix it.
Still no SMS.

Sounds to me like you've got either a bad flash, or the device wasn't wiped proberly. Try wiping and flashing the device according to THIS guide. See if it helps your issues.

Restoring data is never a good thing and this is exactly why we try to push the issue so much with people that are new to rooting and flashing ROMS. Yes it saves you time in the short run so you don't have to re apply settings and login information and have to get to level 80 on all your games etc. Long run this is what happens system/apps start to go insane and the phone just will not act right, in this case a complete wipe and reflash is not only recommended, but needed in this case, and I hope I don't sound like a **** just wanted to be to the point you know

[Q] Emancipation Questions

Just did a complete wipe and installed the latest Emancipation release this morning.
When my text messages are a certain length, the sms message fails to send.
When I try to download dialers or themes using the OTA, the downloads are unsuccessful.
Did the lock screen option menu get moved somewhere else from the first release because I dont see it.
Im just wondering if I need to add another APN?
Thanks for the input!

hmmm... i've been cruising the Eman thread all day and no one else seems to have these issues. My first guess would be possible bad download and/or flash. Did u try to flash again?

What length SMS seems to cause an issue? I have not seen any issues with SMS so far, but granted my messages are generally pretty short anyway.
When you try and download the dialers or themes are you using the stock browser? I think there is a known issue with that. Nun had said "Q. I try to download from the ota and I always get "download unsucessful. How do I fix this?
A. Many have stated that trying a browser other than stock will help...Opera, Dolphin, etc should work. If you prefer to use stock...try this: Download Astro File Explorer, open preferences, and scroll to the bottom and select "enable browser downloads"...then ownload like a good boy should!"
I followed his suggestion and had no more troubles trying to download the OTA stuff.
Lock screen stuff is in display settings. Don't remember where it was on the previous build.

Thank you for the info, you pretty much answered all my questions. I had a brain fart on the lock screen- it was under display. I thought it was in the Emancipation OTA previously.
As far as the text messaging, I cant put a finger on the length because sometimes it works... Not sure whats up with that. But I do know that usually long texts do fail and they will go through if i try to resend them a few times...
What browser do you recommend? Is there an agreed upon one that everyone uses?

when I download i use dolphin mini browser...-
i like opera but it doesnt let me download...
about your sms, you check the messages/setting /message center... sometimes its reset when changing roms..

I just use the stock browser. I loaded the Astro File Explorer and everything worked fine.
I know there are better browsers out there but the audio book service I use only works the stock browser and Firefox. I have tried it with Firefox, but it just works better with the stock browser. My commute is about 80 minutes each way; so I would go crazy without my audio books.

I have always used the app "Download All Files" its a super light app that works with all files in any app or browser and then I can just use the stock browser

I'm having a problem sending and recieving MMS, which I had once before ever flashing my infuse. APN settings got changed somehow (probably me). Reset the APN and it was fixed. Problem crept again after flashing Emancipation. Under the available APN types the list I'm given only has:
Internet+MMS
Internet
MMS
I think I'm needing an "supl" option. Am I missing that due to a bad flash and need to redo it. Or is it simply not available o Emanc and need to try a ROM i can edit the APN by typing like CM7?
Thanks

Its official, both my Infuse and my wifes cannot send long text messages. We have to cut them in half for whatever reason. Any ideas?
Also my data is ridiculously slow. Youtube videos are taking upwards of an hour to load on both phones too. This wasnt a problem on Zeus and I was wondering if there are something I should look into? Thanks!

I have the same issue also can't send/receive pics to my ended phone started when I flashed this ROM. Worked great in last.

Emancipation OTA Problem
Firstly I'd like to thank everyone for the awesome community and work that goes on here at XDA. I've been reading through all the forums the last several weeks and learned so much about my new phone (Samsung Infuse 4G). Through all the tutorials, Q&As etc. I have successfully flashed my firmware three different times. Started out with Zeus v6, Aeon and now I'm finally settled on Emancipation1 with the Dark Blue theme. I really like this ROM.
Now my problem/question. For the ROM flash and Dark Blue theme flash I just downloaded the files to my PC and moved them over to the phone. Everything at that point was fine. Everything on my phone works great except for the Emancipation OTA. It worked the first time immediately after the flash (just checking it out), however now whenever I try to use the Emanicaption OTA I get an error on my phone screen that says "Sorry - The application Settings (process.com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. - Force close)
I've tried with wi-fi enabled and disabled. My stock browser works fine and I went ahead and installed Astro File Manager Explorer. I also booted the phone into Recovery Mode and wiped the cache and Davlik cache.
Any ideas on what might be wrong or causing my inability to use the Emancipation OTA? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Sorry, the only known solutions when that consistently pops up is a reflash. Something did not take right or is interferring with that working properly. Back it up and reflash.

Thanks. Was hoping you weren't going to say that though

One more simple ?
Does anyone know if the themes and other content available through the EmancipationOTA is available for direct download (say from the server to a PC so it can then be moved to the phone the old fashioned way?)

Nope. All themes go though the OTA.

Unable to set an APN

Edit: It seems like this may help me out, but I can't try it tonight:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23560622&postcount=5
I have to preface this by saying I'm using Hellfire Sandwich, but I can't post in the thread in that developer forum until I make at least ten posts. When using other ROMs, I don't have this problem.
I was unable to access any data. Troubleshooting with a T-Mobile tech over chat, I found out that I had not one APN set in my Mobile Networks settings. The problem is whenever I enter in the settings for an APN and try to save it, I get returned to an empty APN list.
I tried editing a few fields and saving my progress as I went along, but it kept telling me that some fields needed to be filled. When I could finally save, again I was returned to an empty APN list.
I looked through the last 15 pages of the HFS thread and I didn't see any mention of APNs.

I had the same issue with version1.8. It seemed to correct itself after a while but sounds like you have had this issue a while too. I suppose you have rebooted a few times since you flashed and I also suppose that you have reset the APN to default. Have you tried a factory reset? If that doesn't work then you may have to reflash, maybe even redownload the ROM.

It has been my experience that there are almost always random data drops on these custom g2x roms. I could never pinpoint the source so I can't really help you there...
What usually works to get back data for me is a simple reboot or two.

This same problem bothers me still. I have run 4 different ICS ROMs and they all have lost the APN randomly throughout the day. True a reboot or two gets them back, but it is really annoying at times. Searching the forums will give you the result that that you need to "Reset defaults" in the APN list. This process takes anywhere between 1 minutes and forever. The official,word is wait however long it takes for the reset to work. But I have waited over 30 minutes before and just let me phone sit on my desk with no APN showing back up.
Very strange indeed. I'm not even sure how to track the problem down. I know logcat provides good information but I'm not familiar with how to utilize it yet. I would imagine it would show the errors of when a program needs to use data and you have lost it, but not sure it will log HOW you lost the data connection to begin with.

I suppose this is why the developer of HFS still lists in his signature that he's using a gingerbread based ROM.

Google Data Back Up is not backing up my current data.

During the new phone setup in Lollipop, after flashed new rom, there is an option to restore old settings. Mine said that the last setting it back up is 27 days old. In the last few weeks i've flashed various roms and have setup my device as "new". For some reason it is not updating and backup my current settings and apps.
The 27 days backup settings have apps and settings that i no longer want to use. I like flashing new roms so it be nice to have settings and app back up current. I have tried various things to try to get my phone to update the settings with google but it is not working. Is there a way to force the phone to back up my current setting to google?
Thanks.
EDIT: If the back up is working for you, can you guy let us know so we have more info to troubleshoot the problem

No, but a couple others have had the exact same problem.

I've been having the exact same issue.

I just went into the settings/backup option and clicked to turn off auto backups. It says it will also delete all backups on the servers. Hopefully next clean flash on set up it will show no backups and then I can turn it back on and thing will work from there.

Let us know how it goes.....

Did a clean flash this morning and my old backups were still there even though the pop up said they world be deleted. Instead of setting up as new I used the last backup from 28 days ago. Maybe the next clean flash it will update the data.
This is very frustrating.

Same here is there a way to Fix it

Yes, and this problem isn't Nexus 5 specific! What the hell is Google doing there? We need this feature. On my opinion, they can delete the old ones, so there is space for the latest. Oh well, Google....

Just did another clean flash after choosing an older backup to continue from. It did not work and did not backup any of my old settings.
I guess Google thinks we should only have 10 backups for infinity and after that we're screwed? Maybe they hope we will setup new accounts? I know this will only really affect tech enthusiasts but come on man.

I tested flashed as well. Turned off the back up option for a few days and flashed stocked 5.0 and setup new device., run for a few days, and flashed CM12, still no new back up choice.
When you guy select the backup to restore, how many choices do you have? I only have one and it is about 34 days old. I dont think google would limit it to 10, maybe they just turn off that feature for now???
Hopefully other people can chime in as well. Let us know if the back up is working for you.

I have only ten choices to choose from.
I've been searching for a fix for a week or two now and can't find anything that works. I can't even find good contact info to directly email Google and get the old backups erased.

I'm on an AOSP Lollipop rom on my Galaxy S5, and having same problem (still!)...
This really sux when doing a fresh install every couple of days...
Any news on this?

How can we fix this???

Weird. I just made a new install. And for the first time in a month I could choose a device from today! Yay!

You could always chose to setup as a new device, just click on the drop down during install and select new device instead of an older back up.
I gave up on finding a fix. My theory is that this is new to lollipop and maybe Google turn off the feature or something. Probably due to bug. I just shelled out money for titanium back up.

Have you tried removing the phone from googles security page? That should reset everything. Disclaimer, I am not having this problem and have not tried tried my tip myself.
