[Q] Can't send/receive MMS - Thunderbolt General

Running CM 7.1.1 it said in the update that it fixed MMS, but still can't send or receive. I wiped before installing CM.
I have tried:
Using handcent (my default), using messaging app.
Deleted telephony.db file, rebooted
played with APN settings. (why are there so many in CM7)
I had BAMF and MMS worked fine. I like CM7 but I really need mms.
Any ideas?

This is a little embarrassing. The problem was that some how pic messaging was blocked on Verizon's side.

[Q] using CHOMP or HANDCENT app after JB update

After JB update I cant send mms from CHOMP or HANDCENT. SMS work fine but MMS force cloes on CHOMP and just never sends on HANDCENT. Does anyone elese have this problem? I have uninstalled apps and reinstalled and same thing. I then went as for as wiping phone and still didnt work. Any help? or is it something that the app developers have to do to there apps?
I haven't tested the ones you mentioned but I'm using Go SMS Pro and all messaging functions work fine for me on JB.

I've having the same problem with Chomp. I've switched to GoSMS until this issue gets sorted out.

Thanks guys. I will use GOSMS for now until CHOMP gets updated. I went to CHOMPS website and it says then there is a known problem with JB and it will be updated soon.

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.

MMS on ATT. How do I get it to work?

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.

Updated to Lollipop- Can't receive MMS

So I was on the latest dev preview and all was well with MMS.
Flashed the stock image and now it hangs at "downloading" using the Messenger app.
APN settings same as always but using Straight Talk, like I have been.
Sending MMS is just fine.
Any advice woule be great

I had the same problem and I think I fixed it. What worked for me was deleting all the other APNs except for the TFData one. Also, make sure the port is set to 80, that wasn't set for the APN that Lollipop defaulted to. Hope it helps!
