I never send MMS and I actually find them annoying when I receive them and have always ignored them. However, recently my best friend had a baby (Im the godfather) so he has been sending me photos and videos through MMS.
Here is my issue with At&t. It appears every time he sends a MMS I have to go to some website, enter a msg ID, and finally a password. The most annoying thing is that I can hardly ever see the photo without pressing refresh and videos do not work!!!
What the hell am I doing wrong and why is it so damn annoying. I would like to just simply open his message and see the video why does it have to be so damn difficult. I am sure there is a solution whether it is paid or free. Will someone please. I searched MMS, MMS issues, MMS password and I receive a lot of information regarding Arcsoft, which basically allows you to compose MMS, I think?
bump, nobody knows a way around this? weird
You can normally tell At&T how you want to get your MMS. Go to a phone shop and ask them to change it.
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.

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!

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 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.
Hi guys:
I already searched for this in Google and what not, and I have tried some, but with no luck. Here's my situation:
I own an Unlocked Nokia X2-01 with a T-mobile SIM Card working. (I'm not prepaid, just with a expired contract).
I receive calls and make them nicely. I'm able to receive text messages and send, but, for some reason I can't make work the MMS messages since I can't receive them.
I tested already the proposed settings here, but I can't make them work since those are for other devices, not a Nokia X2-01.
How do I make MMS settings work with my device so I can receive mms?
If someone wants to drop a hint, thanks very much in advance! And sorry for any inconvenience.
Thanks!
Thanks anyway.
Still waiting for someone to share a hint. I already tried some configurations but they didn't work for me since those are for other devices.
Thanks in advance and i'll keep waiting. Thanks guys!
*BUMP THIS UP*
Anyone can share a hint? Thanks guys!
Got something working, partially...
Ok! Here's the thing. I've done more search and I've found a partial fix for the mms settings. I'll share the fix for the benefit of everyone.
I was a couple of days ago inside the t-mobile website. And I didnt notice a help section they have for "non-tmobile devices" (see the attached PDF file for specific details). I found this only thru their search option.
So, I took the phone. I went to the menu->settings->configuration->personal settings. And there I created an access point and a multimedia msg. settings with those tmobile provide in their site.
Inside access point I inserted the wap.voicestream.com address inside of the packet data access pt. option.
Then, I inserted the mms server address inside the multimedia messages personal setting.
Now, I activated both in my phone and I'm now able to receive picture messages. And, I just said picture messages. Now I have the problem of sending mms messages. When I try to send an mms for example, to an android phone of some relative they only see a little triangle with an exclamation mark in it. Just that, no photo.
There's where im at right now figuring out the sending of mms. If I make that work i'll post results. If anyone wants to drop a hint on sending mms, configuration, etc. Please do.
Thanks and i'll check back later.
Hi guys....I have a HTC One M8 which is unrooted and running Lollipop which is great for the most part but I can't figure out how to set up group messaging and more recently it won't download any MMS I recieve.
I wanted to try and change the settings for group messaging in ChompSMS but can't figure it out. Right now, when I'm part of a group text, each message shows as a single text from the person that sent it, and when I reply it only goes to that person, not the group. I have tried changing some of the settings but nothing seems to work. I am sure this is an easy fix and feel kinda dumb for not being able to figure it out. I tried my other sms apps as well to see if it was a chomp problem and it's the same for all 3.
When I was trying to figure out the group messaging problem on my own I apparently changed something in the settings because now whenever I recieve a MMS I get a message saying "Can't download MMS - Check your APN settings". Again I have tried messing around in Chomps settings and haven't gotten it working. Also again this goes for Textra and the stock app as well. Please help!
So....nothing?
Is this just a really stupid question or what? I don't know why no one responds to my posts. I've posted about it in 2 other forums as well and no responses anywhere. I have searched this problem as well and found other people asking similar question and haven't found any helfpul responses. I can't imagine no one knows how to fix the problem...someone help! Please!
