At&T MMS trouble

Hello everyone
I have been a fan of all cooks in xda-developers. I must say that I have tried every new Roms available.
One thing that keeps me trying the new roms is, can't receive MMS messages.
I am on AT&T in Atlanta area. I can send and receive sms but I can only send MMS messages.
I have used/ tried every radios too with same result.
Even Hyperdragon's AT&T mms hack didn't work.
I have searched and read all kinds of info on this and called AT&T to see if it was provisioned to receive mms. All the things are ok at the AT&T side.
I would love to solve and receive mms messages in the near future with your help.
Thanks guys in advance

sometimes it's a network issue with att. ive had this problem before. you just need to call att and they should be able to fix it. at least they did when my phone wouldnt send or recieve mms.

Ahh..I did that already with no such luck. Matter of fact , I called them 3 times so far. They told me to bring my phone in to do "sim-swap". As you know I can't do that because of " Cooked Rom" in my AT&T Tilt.

theres a link in the wiki explaining how to revert everything back to warranty settings

You can do a SIM-swap. They don't look at the guts of your OS just to change your SIM card.

Also, if you search the forums, there is a cab file that has all the ATT sms and mms settings in it. I use this when ever im having problems.
Also, are you using the default sms program built into WM or are you using an add on threader program?

Here is a customized ATT Settings cab that ATW and myself created that sets up the ATT settings w/o the proxy.
Mod Edit: Also allows creation mode in your MMS settings.

I had the same problem and tried may cabs posted some worked for a day and then failed again which I do not understand why. Finally I found this and it is working for me for a while. Try and see if it works.

I have tried "shogun_cing mms fix" with Hyperdragon. And still not able to receive mms ...dang.
On to try RR AT&T cab. I ll report back.

Maybe post exactly which rom you are using and post your message in that thread? I've had the exact same problem and have since try an MMS 1st thing after flashing to see if I am going to keep a ROM or not. Most new ROM's work since akaDonny went and found the dependency's needed for Arcsoft MMS.

By the way which rom did you use?

Well, after reading this thread last night I realized it's been quite awhile since I'd sent an MMS. Usually when I receive them, it has me go to www.viewmymessage.com. I don't think much of it because of all the flashing I do to my phone. Turns out after adding my settings, I couldn't send or receive MMS either. I called ATT told them my issue and somehow they fixed it again. I was told to turn my cell off and on 3 times and to wait 15 minutes before sending an MMS so that the data they were sending my SIM would fix it.

Well...just got back from AT&T store to do a sim-swap, jumping jelly fish- it's working now.
I am unsure if the sim-swap did the trick or some of the AT&T setting cabs I tried.
One way to find out is to flash other roms to see if it works.
Just can't understand why changing the sim card works....

they didn't have to swap my sim. i don't understand how they couldn't help you over the phone as well. Anyway, looks like your problem was resolved and that's what matters eh?

I used this and it worked as well. However does this have cab any side-effects?

So far I have no "side-effect". It is very good.

anyway to get the att medianet video link string in the cabs?

I know the shogun cab usually fixes any problems im having with MMS when i flash a new rom.. Is this cab/fix better then the shogun cab.. could you explain the differences?
thanks...

still using schap's 4.30
Just because I don't want to start a new thread, shogun cingular works just fine with receiving mms, though generally 9 times out of ten I never receive or can't play without saving, the AUDIO part of mms' when sent even though everyone elses devices (non htc) play just fine. Very annoying issue as most of the recipients devices; Lg vu's, samsung, blackberry's, and even their ****ty razr's get full playback of video and audio in their mms. What say you All the Way?

No Problem
Ever since I had my sim card changed at AT&T store, every rom I flashed the sms and mms works prefect.
After new flash I let the "auto" connection setup do its thing and voila its working. On a rare instances when it does not work, I just use one the "AT&T Wap MediaNet & MMs setting" cab file.
for those of you having trouble with mms , try changing sim, it worked for me.

[Q]Boost EVO MMS (I Can Receive MMS But Can't Send)

What's happening guys? I've searched through forum after forum trying to figure out why my Boost EVO won't send picture messages and have yet to find a solution to my problem. I did the ##3282# thing, went to Advanced & changed the MMS Server URL to http ://mm.myboostmobile.com (I put the space between the http & the ://mm.myboostmobile.com because I'm a new poster so this site wouldn't allow me to post it due to possible spamming) & still haven't had any luck at all. I can receive picture messages with no problem, but when I go to send them, it appears as if they've been sent out, but the phone that they're sent to never receives them. I've tested this out myself by sending a few picture messages from my Boost EVO to my Cricket EVO, which has no problem sending or receiving mms, and it never receives the picture messages from the Boost EVO. Anybody have any suggestions? Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanx

i have same exact problem
Yea im frustrated it seems nobody knows how to fix this im running ultimate droid 3.3 and everything works flawless except i can not send mms can recieve sms and send but no matter what ive tried as far as apps deleting file and other fixes somebody with more experince please help htc evo on boost mobile oh and the data fix ##data#does nothing wont even ask for msl which i have i hit send and everything nothing /

I tried for 2 weeks to get mms on my new Evo (flashed to Boost). I finally found a solution! I had to post because 1) xda-developers is awesome and 2) I'm so grateful to the original author of the solution (sorry I don't have the name or link for credit) I wanted to pass it along.
Sounds like you guys are running CM ROMs...##3282# doesn't work with CM, but don't worry, you don't need it! OK, ready for the crazy simple fix?? Here goes:
Download and install GoSmsPro from Market
Open the app and go to Menu>Settings>MMS Settings>APN Configuration
Check the Fill APN Configuration Manually box
MMSC = mm.myboostmobile (you know the rest)
Leave MMS Proxy blank
MMS Port = 80
Reboot your phone
That's it! You should now be able to send mms. Still trying to find a fix to receive mms directly instead of having to use web browser. If anyone has a solution please post!

anita_russell
I too am having the same exact problem. I am a reall newbee to this I have been an Iphone user for the past year and just got the HTC EVO working on BOOST.
I know you said to download the app which I did but I do not know how to do anything else at all... You said you know what to do from here and I really don't could you please if you don't mind give me a steb by step what to do exactly.
Thanks...

I really appreciated you posted the fix for this particular problem, could you or anybody out there finished the remaining sentence MMSC = mm.myboostmobile if there are more to follow that sentence. Thanks.

There are just 5 posts in this thread and the first post spells out the mm.myboostmobile.com. I can't verify whether setting this in GO SMS Pro is sufficient or not. I did go and get GO SMS but I also did the ##DATA# >Edit>Advanced thing and changed the MMS from the sprint one.
I am getting MMS messages working in BOTH directions. IMPORTANT: At first I was having failures in sending. That was because I forgot to use the whole 10 digit number to send to. They appeared to be sent but they didn't go anywhere. Then I tried sending one to my own number which happened to be complete with area code. A couple seconds later I received it back. Shortly after that I got a message from Boost Mobile telling me that my Media Mail account was activated. So, it may be that simple. Half-working is not good enough.

I was trying to do the whole ##DATA# thing but it's asking me for a password that I do not have any idea's of what that could be?

Ive tried the go sms workaround to no avail... still Im not able to send any mms trough my evo on boost... nice app btw...

Did you try calling boost?

I dont think boost will be willing to help if I tell them that I have an evo on their network... it sucks on the stock rom that my evo was flashed, mms works fine, and my data wont drop... but if i go with cm7 my mms will not send although it says it was sent and I can receive mms... ohhh and my data goes out every 10 min, so I have to turn 3g on and off to get it working again... but I dont want a sense rom, I love cm7...

OK so its a CM based problem. Make sure you don't turn background data off or mms will not send on CM based roms. The fact that your data keeps swiping is my mms won't send.

I am trying to solve this problem too. I have changed the address in the advanced ##DATA# menu but that doesn't do anything.
I have the 1/11/2012 Energy ROM installed, fresh install actually. Any suggestions?
EDIT: This seems to be related to the ROM, I nandroided back to my original rom and outgoing MMS works.
Not sure where that leaves me now though

if u would like to know the easiest way to do this message me and I will give the instructions. it doesnt require any other apps just your meid.

I think you solved this without knowing.
I just flashed my EVO 4G LTE to boost and everything was good short of being unable to send MMS over 3g (wifi was fine)
You posted to leave the MMS Proxy blank.
So I went into EPST and made sure that mms destination address as correct and then wnet nad set the mms proxy to blank and now I can send mms over 3G.

OTA 2.3.4 Wind Mobile no MMS

Hey guys,
I have been trying to figure this out for quite a while now but I can not seem to fix it. I recently updated to the newest baseband 21y and with it came the OTA T-mobile flavored 2.3.4 rom. It actually works pretty nicely except for the fact that I can not get mms to work. I am from canada on the WIND network. The APN's show up appropriately,but It can not send mms or recieve mms. I have tried adding the apns again manually and I still get the same result. I have also search the G2X forums and I could not come across an answer to this particular problem. I think the rom is having trouble switching over to the MMS apn when I try to send an MMS. All the other unofficial roms I have tried have the ability to successfully send mms. If anyone can help me with this I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks for your time.
ILL.

Bump!
This might happen to me too if I decided to flash the T-Mobile ROM.
Please help, much appreciated.

Can you describe the actual behavior when you try to send?
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk 2

Can you get online over cellular data? if so, it might be that the MMS apn information isn't right or that the device isn't being identified correctly after the update. Also when you send a MMS does there appear to be any data transferred?

Any way to force MMS to use data connection?

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.

You are not really helping with your situation. Are you stock, flashed anything, issue just randomly start, using stock messaging app etc? More information you supply the easier it would be to help out.

Ok Ducter my bad, is ok I was told to register network and that did it… mughtykc I suggest you do the same… thank you ☺

still not able to send MMS or recieve since the last update
im 100% stock, have a few appls disabled with package disabler pro,
ive enabled everything to see if maybe something i did was the problem
cant send MMS or recieve them, always get a failed to download, try again message
ive played with different APN settings and "registered" the network and still nothing
ive tried different messaging apps
Hangouts
Google messenger
Stock Samsung messenger
etc etc
edit:
got curious, called Tmobile, i ended up factory wiping the device, still the same problem
going to go with a new Sim card and see if that fixes anything
