[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...

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.

i just tried wifi, with wifi bein on i was able to send/receive to myself, however when i pressed sent the data sign appeared beside the wifi sign and i was able to send/receive , is that normal? other than that when only the data is on and i try to send a mms , the data sign disappears and it keeps trying to send , and when it can't send then the data sign re-appears , to me the mms apn doesn't work, can you send me the exact apn settings for both internet and mms ? so that i can match mine.. thanks

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>

For mms:

APN: mms.windmobile.ca
Proxy: <Not set>
Port: <Not set>
Username: <Not set>
Password: <Not set>

MMS port: 8080

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!

[Q] MMS not working on OdysseyHybrid-v2.71-RC-Delay fix) 9|04|13

Hello, i can't post in the dev section so have to make my question in here.
The mms is not working on the OdysseyHybrid-v2.71-RC-Delay fix) rom.
They start the data connection, but it not concludes the sending nor the receiving.
In Viper 2.2.0, using GO SMS PRO, you can receive an mms and it will fetch if automatically, but in this rom that doesn't happen.
Other question is the delay fix.In my case, the delay still stands.
Can anyone confirm my two cases? and point me to some solution.

Usually what you describe is a result of bad mms APN configuration.
Try reconfiguration through your service provider's described settings.

I've done that. double checked and nothing. it starts to send with "H" than switches to "3G" and then stops and the MMS is not send.

The "stupid" thing is that, using the default sms app, the mms is sent.
And using the GO SMS PRO no.

I tried to remove the GO SMS PRO, and installed the new version from Play Store, but still the same problem.

You might have to go into GoSMS app and manually set the APN there too.
I don't use GoSMS anymore so nothing in front of me to show you the steps but just look around in settings.
OK try this
Open GoSMS and press the Menu key.
Select Settings>MMS settings>APN Configuration
Put a checkmark next to Fill APN Configuration Manually
Fill in the following:
(Should be same from your phone's APN settings for MMS)

thanks for the idea, but it didn't work
I think i'm going to switch to some other rom.
can you point me one that presents the same simple structure of the Odyssey and don't have the wake lag?
thanks again.

Thanks for the help.
Going to try other ROM.

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

I uninstalled AdBlock and all my MMS come in now on Hangouts.

Help! SMS & MMS Stopped Working!

My Problem(s)::crying:
SMS messages give an immediate error that they could not be sent. MMS messages say sending for many minutes before finally giving the same error.
Did it ever work?
Yes. I had sent and received SMS messages after flashing. Cannot confirm MMS, becuase I had not used it since flashing my ROM.
What precipitated / brought the problem to the fore?
I was trying to get Sprint voicemail working on my recently flashed phone ([ROM][OFFICIAL][KitKat 4.4.4][moto_msm8960_jbbl] PAC-ROM 4.4.4.RC-2). I tried several apk's for Sprint's Visual Voice. I could not get 5.x or 6.x to work. After following a few dead end threads with those, I installed Google Voice and was trying to use it for my Sprint voicemail. With each of these I uninstalled and rebooted before going on the next try.
I see threads about Google Hangouts causing problems with Sprint SMS /MMS. It is installed, but I am unfamiliar with the App because I have never used it. I think it is only there because Google Voice needs it.
I have used Google Voice on my laptop to call Red Pocket Mobile when I need to troubleshoot my phone. So, before I installed it on my phone I already had it set up in my google account. Not sure how/why that matters, but there is the possibiltiy that some configuration setting in my account is wrong for integrating with my XT897.
Basic Troubleshooting Info:
I can do any of these without a problem on wi-fi or LTE: Google Play Store, Chrome, Firefox, etc. I am also able to make and receive voice calls.
In PAC-ROM:
Settings - Wireless Networks - More... -
Default SMS app is set to Messaging
Voice+:
Setting this to Disabled and rebooting does not fix
Setting this to my Google Voice gmail account does not fix

No, my phone company is Red Pocket Mobile. They are a Sprint MVNO.

Yesterday evening I was out for work. I received an SMS message on my phone. I noticed that my phone was showing 4 bars of signal. I only usually see 1 or 2 at my house. I thought that might be the problem. Unfortunately, I tried sending and got the same errors for SMS and MMS even with 4 bars of signal.
This morning, I installed Network Cell Info Mini in my phone just now using LTE. It shows I have +-100 dBm of signal. Trying to send MMS over the same network still produces the same error.
I also found this thread of similar problems in Sprint's forums.

I would recommend restoring stock, make sure EVERYTHING works that you need to work before flashing any aftermarket ROM.
If it all works on the stock ROM, then you know you have a software configuration issue / limitation.

Sorry it took so long to post a follow-up on this. I finally had time to meticulously do this.
This is what I did that worked:
1. flashed my rooted Jelly Bean stock ROM back on with TWRP
2. after i booted up i updated the PRL then successfully sent and received a txt
3. flashed back my pac-rom
4. after rebooting, successfully sent and received a txt :victory:

Need to keep doing a Network Reset in Android 6

I've finally figured out how to get my Samsung Go5 running Android 6 to send photos as mms sms attachments, and as Gmail attachments. Nothing would go out until I freed up 1 GB from my 's tiny 8 GB memory, and doing Network Reset.
But the reset doesn't stick. I'm constantly receiving messages where the mms attachment doesn't download, and getting the message “Currently unable to send your message. It will be sent when the service becomes available.” trying to send attachments in either an sms message or Gmail. I end up having to run that Network Reset option and reboot in order to get it working again.
Is this something people have seen and have a solution for?
Thanks.

Have you checked your APN settings to verify they are correct?

You're referring to the Access Point Name? I see:
Settings > Mobile networks > Access Point Names > T-Mobile US LTE
It's the only entry. Entering its settings I see a 20 entries, all grayed out that don't open to allow modification:
Name: T-Mobile US LTE
APN: fast t-mobile.com
Proxy : Not set
Port: Not set
Username: Not set
Password: Not set
Server: Not set
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
Multimedia Message Proxy: Not set
Multimedia Message Port: Not set
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
Authentication type: None
APN Type: default,mms,supl
APN protocol: IPv6
APN roaming protocol: IPv4
Turn APN on/off: APN turned on
Bearer: Unspecified
Mobile virtual network operator type: None
Mobile virtual network operator value: Not set
Again all options grayed out
This is a rooted Samsung Galaxy Go5 SM-.G550T2
Provided by Safelink Wireless via California Lifeline
Service provided my T-Mobile
The T-Mobile logo and audio jingle show/play at boot

No further thoughts on this? How would I go about determining if the APN is correct? And what do I need to do to be able to enabling editing its settings?

Do you see your IMEI in system settings? Or is it blank or all 0's?

Yes, there is a number in there Droidriven, and a 2 digit number for IMEISV below it. Thanks for the suggestion.
I just had to accept terms for Uber and Lyft apps, and somehow in the process lost audio notifications yet again. They each send sms verification codes, but though I got the sms text messages, I never got the audio notification when they arrived.
At that point I tested sending email to the phone from an account on my PC, and was back to not getting that audio notification on the phone too. So it's becoming routine now to do the Network Reset to get audio alerts and message attachments working again.
