Hey there, I've been looking for a way to fix this for a few days now and im stumped.
Im using Synergy rom, juice defender ultimate and handcent. My problem is when I receive MMS messages while connected to wifi I have to manually disable wifi then re-open handcent and download the message again. Same with the stock messaging app. It seems handcent doesnt like to use wifi. I cant find any settings in either app that seem to allow me to force MMS to downloag over 4g. Has anyone else had this issue?
P.s. it also happens while sending mms messages. If I do not manually change any settings and let JD do its thing, it takes hours for a picture messgae to send.

had this same issue on cleanrom. i ddint use handcent nor juicedefender. i just swtiched over to synergyrom r443. i don't have any issues now. hmmmmmm??? i am unable to explain this to you, it's well beyond my understanding. just thought i'd give you a courtesy call.
Had this issue when on a TW ROM, switched over to an AOSP ROM (LiquidSmooth) and no issues with that anymore. For what it's worth, AOSP ROMs rock ;]
I used to use cleanrom and had the same problem with and without juice defender. Id rather not change roms again im pretty happy with this rom and kernal.
Is auto retrieve checked?

I have a similar issue, just noticed it recently with CleanROM 6R2. It does not seem to happen with the stock ROM, as both my wife and I have S3's, hers stock. We are both using Verizon Messages for our texting, and we both have the settings so that integrated messaging is enabled to sync with the web and tablets we have
If I have WIFI enabled and I receive a group message, when I try to respond my *send* will fail. If I turn off WIFI, the MMS group message will send without issue. I've tried this with both Verizon Messages and Handcent, and both suffer the same issue. So it is something at a lower level than the application.
I'm temped to try a rooted stock of the latest ROM to see if the problem goes away.
EDIT: just noticed your PS, looks like we are in the same boat...

Yep, checked those options in both messaging apps.
Glad someone is having the same symptoms as me, hopefully we can figure this out.
I did use the stock rom with root for a few days when I first got the phone and I dont remember having any issues.

Does data with out WiFi work? Its imperative that you check that since MMS travels through data. Also does newt support t mobile? I remember I had to choose a carrier

Yes it excepts tmobile and yes data works ive even turned off wifi to make sure and data works fine,this has me stumped ive tried every apn setting and still nothing thats why i was inquiring about what controls the mms file wise or if there is something in the build.prop that isnt right,it lets me choose either at&t or tmobile,keeps saying the dreaded "Generic network failure"
You may need to set to default apn. Google play has apps and downloads for it. Might not hurt to give it a try.

. Maybe try go sms app on market for kicks to see if its software related or something screwy . I had to actually call att once due to in there system mms pics was disabled on phn. Also see if you can recieve from other carriers and your carrier. You may just wanna ask for t2 support as t1 support just read from computer screen. Good luck let us know if we can assist you

Ok so after days of looking into this issue i used go sms pro and manual put settings into the apn setting of go sms and low and behold it works,so now ill just use go sms works fine,thanks for the assistance from everyone.I was going crazy even though i dont use mms feature often!!!
I've done a done of searching and I have no idea how I haven't found anyone with this issue. I can't get MMS to work on my N5. Textra just says unable to retrieve MMS and that I should check my APN settings but I can't find what settings should be in there. All my searching just comes up with MMS settings for some prepaid service.

MMS works on hangouts just fine. Try using that or check your apn settings.

Seriously? A Google search on "AT&T APN settings" gives you nothing?

I'm having the same issue with Textra. I'm not sure when it exactly started. I think when I updated Quantum ROM to 3.15, but maybe when I froze the stock messaging app. I froze messaging because I would get an alert for incoming message both from messaging and from Textra and even if I swiped the messaging alert away, it would just pop back. I've tried unfreezing messaging and that didn't help (but I'm not getting the extra alert, now). I've found the APN settings on another post in xda forums, but they weren't different from my own. I then when through all of Textra settings and found one for APN settings and it had different MMS APN settings than the phone (it was set to cingular instead of att). I've made them match now and am waiting see if I can receive MMS again. I'd be a little surprised if this fixes it, though, because Textra didn't have any trouble with MMS last month and I never went into the setting for it before.

If you're still having issues with this, I finally got Textra to work on AT&T by changing the size limit of mms to 1mb or below. I emailed Textra's devs and they told me that some carriers limit the size of mms. I guess Textra compresses mms automatically because I was able to send and receive photos just fine after I changed that setting. I was so frustrated with the APN settings, but it turned out to just be the size limit issue. How that helps.
I'm having issues sending MMS messages on my GS5. I contacted Sprint support and they really aren't much help so I just wanted to see if anyone else was having issues?
The Sprint rep had me dial ##72786# which sent it into the hands-free activation mode again, but they ultimately weren't able to fix anything.

Check in /system/etc if apns-conf.xml exists. If not, there's your problem. But I need more info to assist here, do you still have data/LTE, phone signal, none at all, are you using third party messaging app?
Okay, network connectivity exists. Normal text messages send fine with no issues and I can actually receive MMS messages. I'm using the stock messaging application because I was having issues receiving MMS via the Hangouts app when I let it handle my text messaging.
The file you requested was there...my post count isn't high enough to post the screenshot of it. I'm not currently rooted.

Try using 8sms.... It allows you to send MMS over WiFi (you can turn OFF mobile data, and still be able to send MMS as long as you have a WiFi connection). Sprint supports MMS over WiFi and is one of VERY few carriers in the world that support it, so try out 8sms

Can you receive MMS in stock messages app? Is it just Hangouts?
I can receive messages in all apps, Hangouts and the stock app. It just seemed to have issues sending MMS within any app that I have tried so far. Currently using the stock app.
I can give 8SMS a try.
I had an issue the other day sending texts. I went into application manager and deleted cache and data for the MMS program and it's worked fine since.

Agreed, try first clear cache/data for sms stock app (do not open), go update prl/profile, reboot. Them open app and see if works. If so, profit. If not and you have time, redo ROM flash of stock or what you're on. I'd say try my APN flash zip in Android development to see but that is at your own risk and, if something broke (highly unlikely though) you'd need to Reflash stock ROM to reset all. All this worth a try.

I had this issue when my phone was new. Did the activation thing and a PRL update, which fixed it for me.

*SOLVED* (See my post #11)
Hello all,
I'm having trouble getting any text on my U12+. I've seen one other case on androidCentral forums but not much of any results. Figure i would chime in and see if anyone else figured this out.
I had this issue as well. I had to go to a Verizon store and get a new sim card, which he activated in my old HTC 10 then put into the U12+. After that the tech suspended my sms service then reactivated and I was good to go. The only issue I have is that I can not receive MMS messages from any 3rd party app, so I am stuck using the stock one.
Call Verizon -- spent 3 minutes with a level 1 technician who re-provisioned the phone for sms & mms. All is working as expected (although the stock messaging system wouldn't send GIFs, but I downloaded Textra and it works fine).

Soooooooo, it turns out there's an MMS bug with Textra which hasn't been fixed yet. I tried all the suggested steps (clean install, change MMS behavior, modify APN settings, etc) and MMS doesn't work with Textra. I emailed the developers and we'll see what happens.
I then downloaded Pulse and everything works as expected with that app. Not sure about any other third party messaging apps right now.

I emailed textra support over the weekend and after running through all the settings, they had me install android messages and that did not work with MMS as well. I tried with a few other 3rd party apps and they came to the conclusion that it is an android Oreo bug and they can't do anything to fix it.
Thanks everyone! I will try the steps mentioned above and report back.
Interestingly enough mms receive works for me on Verizon messages and the default htc text app. It does not work (just receiving pics) in Textra or Android messages. This feels like an OS side issue? I was on the phone with tier 2 support when I first got it and they reprovisioned twice. Then said just use the apps that work lol

Hey Guys I have something similar I have a ticket opened with tier 2 but my problem is that I can't get incoming text messages. I can send from the stock app but just no incoming... I factory reset twice, reset network settings twice but still same problem. Also tried the android messages app and Verizon app.

That's what my issue is. Can send but not receive. Haven't called yet. I'm going to in just a bit. Will report back.
Just got off the phone with Level 2 support. He tried reprogramming the sim card but that didn't work.
BUT he dug deep and did what he called a "CDMA list feature activation"
and then my text and mms started coming through in android messages. also voicemail. apparently that was also affected.
Hope that helps everybody. call support and let them know about this. skip the guess work.

Have you tried using a 3rd part app for texting like Textra to see if it works? I can only use the default stock app but called to see if this would fix anything on my end. Level 2 support told me that the CDMA list feature was already activated and they could not remove it from my account as it was active.

All I use is Android messager and occasionally switch to the stock messenger to send higher quality picture messages. So far everything I've done on Android messager is working.

Textra developer suggested turning off MMS Auto Retrieve in stock messaging app, rebooting, and trying to do MMS with Textra again. It didn't work for me, but can't hurt you to try it with android messenger. Even with Textra MMS timeout issues, Pulse is working perfectly for me. Maybe give that app a shot? YMMV ... just throwing out some ideas for you.

Just tried it, no go as well. Funny thing is, i froze the stock messages with titanium as well, but it thawed itself on reboot. I'll give Pulse a try, does it compress images sent?

Pulse works great, wonder why other apps are having issues. Thanks for the recommendation!
