Verizon TP2 on ATT: MMS problem

I am using an unlocked Verizon tp2 stock rom on Att's network. I have got everything to work on ATT's network except for MMS. I can send mms messages to others but I cannot receive them. I used to not be able to download mms messages but I changed the mms settings from verizons to att's and it will actually download the message now. When I receive them though it just says "message not found". If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.

Are you on a stock rom or custom rom? Whenever I flash my ROM I never get MMS to work until I tell the phone what to use for MMS. This requires registry editing which I can explain how to do if this is the case.

This is a stock rom. I had to registry edit to allow me to change the mms settings because before they were locked to verizon and there was no way to change them

daddylonglegs, Maybe you can tell me the registry edits you did and i can try that?

only if you no how to flash a custom rom
http://hotfile.com/dl/22460657/342b335/EnergyROM_21885_RHOD500_31.Dec.2009_StandardM2.5.rar.html. im using this custom rom and everything works great.

I just loaded the energy rom and and still no luck with mms. I am using mms server settings
* IP Adress: wireless.cingular.com
* Port number: 80
* Server address: http:// mmsc.cingular .com
* Send limit: 600K
* WAP Version: WAP 2.0
I also have a problem with bing not working with locate me. does that happen to you too?]

I tried to go to the site and it wouldnt download. What specific rom are you using? The only one I know of is ssk which I used but found to be slightly buggy. I too had an unlocked tp2 that is being used on att. I cannot get mms to work but like the stability of the 6.5 rom and would rather have a pretty basic one since I would not be up to tweaking it frequently

He is using Energy "Leo" 21885. I tried it and it didn't help mms. The rom was nice but had some bugs that annoyed me. I changed to JUICY ROM and it is really nice and stable. If your looking for stock then energy isn't really but Juicy is. I still haven't got mms to work but if you do let me know.

I am having the same problem with my imagio. I have all of my mms settings. unblocked the server edit with arcsoft. can now send mms successfully but cannot receive. Any ideas anyone?

mms with att on verizon
go to ppcgeeks they have all the cdma stuff your looking for energy rom, mms fix, driver update, im dont have one problem. i love my verizon phone w/Tmobile service

AT&T is not CDMA. I have an Imagio and installed the AT&T WAP & MMS cab. Same problem: send is o.k. receive is "Message not found" I am using My Clean Imagio ROM (custom version with carrier provisioning [not turned on])

same problem here. changed all server settings but shouldnt the "connect via" be media net? thats not and option in the drop down for the cdma phones. is there a way to add this in? im thinking this would allow it to work? or has anybody found a solution for this yet? ive searching for days and havnt found any yet although iv seen people say theyve got it working but dont say how...

I would like to know what registry editing are you doing. I have a vzw tp2 and cant get the mms to work. Any light shined on this would be great. Is there an arcsoft mms cab you installed over, a proxy enable/disable cab, manually add in medianet and configure it, manually add att mms settings?
please post your setttings and help us out.
thanks

MMS works perfectly on the stock rom. Do you have a custom rom?

im using energys manilla 2.5 leo rom. still havnt gotten this to work. has anyone got this going yet. ive been all over ppc geeks trying to figure this out. ive even got other members pm-ing me with the same problem. i know there has got to be a way for this to work.

Why is their no answer? How do you get mms and data to work when you have a verizon touch pro 2 and you are on att or t-mobile in the USA? And I mean with any stock rom?

I received my Imagio sim unlocked. I put in my AT&T sim card. I had to edit the GSM servers, and phone/data band choices to match AT&T. I have changed the registry for ServerEdit under ArcSoft. I have used the network wizard to set up AT&T. Just like everyone else, I can send MMS but cannot receive MMS. All other e-mail, SMS works fine. Is this a UAProf problem or is it an IMEI problem with the proxy server? I really don't know. I want to say this. T-Mobile folks are not having the problem as much. The problem is with Verizon unlocked (global) phones using AT&T sim cards. Does anyone have an idea if AT&T servers or software is blocking the MMS due to the phone not being recognized?

HEY EVERYBODY!!! i have stumbled across a temporary solution to this several months ago and had posted the link to the thread i started in several places but i guess i forgot this one!!! haha anyway, its over on ppcgeeks but my name is different over there. its luzboss. so if it helps you out please hit thanks or show you appreciate it!!! BTW, its a LOOOOOOONG postbuti tried to be as clear as possible about everything.

That would be carrier specific, just as the US Nexus S issue on Tmobile

Ahh cheers mate! So what is the fix for this? Ring O2 and shout?!

that may be your best bet at this time may be more difficult because of the amount of people with the NS on O2

@garoelms: please can you let us know the outcome, if there was one. I'm also O2 UK Nexus S, same problem.
Cheers.
(also, anyone also in the same boat, i tried the nexus one suggestion of sending an mms to yourself and it didn't work)

I had this problem previously.
The problem was with the MMS APN settings. The settings posted in the following thread sorted it out:

What do you mean by 'update my mobile settings'? What exactly did you do?
I cannot send MMS either and I have tried everything I can think of. APN's have been deleted and re-entered etc. Nothing works

I also have the same issue as you guys. From what I've read, the issue has to do with ICS's MSS not functioning properly on 3G, but working on Wifi. I'm not quite sure if the issue is related to the T-Mobile OTA version I installed and my current carrier in Canada, or if it's an issue plagued by all devices running the T-Mobile OTA.

I noticed that under APN settings there is a new option called 'Carrier' - Does this need to be configured for something special (LTE or eHRPD) for MMS on a european 3G GSM phone?
Still no luck getting MMS to work :-(

Working on some carriers
Hi!
I discovered that this problem is not afecting on all carriers.
On voodafone Slovenia (EU) is not workin, on other providers MMS are working ok.
...so we have to wait for fix.

solved?
Hey, can you give some more detail on how you solved this for the rest of us?
I'm on a 3G i9020t, I called my service provider (wind mobile) and they told me to "google" how to downgrade back to gingerbread. lol what dicks.
I called samsung device support for the nexus s and they were utterly useless...especially live chat so don't waste your time. They told me to try factory resetting my phone and now all my save data in angry birds is gone. Neoooooo. Oh, and it did nothing.
I hope they patch this soon...i like my MMS and I can't play .avi files now. EFF google! YOUR NEW OPERATING SYSTEM SUCKS! - except the keyboard is much better.
[UPDATE] I tried it while connected to WIFI and it works fine. I can send & receive now. Just wish I could do that on 3G

Vote for a fix here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23233&colspec=ID
But it would still be great to know what Kalimdor did to make it work...

No on Simobil Slovenia MMS is not working!

It seems that ICS can use 1 APN for both Internet and MMS. So you can try to combine both into 1, if you currently use 2. For APN type write default,supl,mms and combine proxy address etc. into one.
But if your phone company uses two different apn points (mine uses internet and mms) it will probably not work... Anyone able to help, what can we do?

same for me. MMS works only when I connected to WIFI

Same problem here....internet works but no MMS download/upload

I had this problem on 4.0.3 but it was fixed in 4.0.4.
Ive had the same problem pop up on certain custom ROMs and wasted a lot of time screwing around with APNs, kernels, etc unsuccessfully but finally solved it today by installing goSMSpro -stock and handcent sms didn't work.
Try this first, then try 4.0.4 upgrade or better yet a custom ROM like CM9 where everything works.

[Q] apns-config.xml

I have a problem. And it seems a pretty widespread problem. Got no replies on other threas so i've started a new one. Any 4.0+ ROM. Stock, custom, MIUI or otherwise. mms doesn't work. I'm using i9023. I'm with Crazy John's network in Australia. A relatively obscure networkthat piggybacks the Vodafone au network. I've done some research and think I may be on to something. Is it possible that if your apns aren't in the apns.config.xml or not correctly configured in that .xml then your mms won't work. I understand that with gb it didn't matter, you just input them manually. But is this true with ics or do they HAVE TO be in there? If so, how do we get this to the devs so they can update their config? I would have asked the dev of my favourite ROM, but xda won't let me post in the dev section. I just find it suspicious that users from the same list of networks are repeatedly reporting this issue with all ICS roms. The only other possible reason i can think of is that it has something to do with all rhese roms being ported to gsm from 4g roms. But that doesn't explain why MIUI V4 doesn't work. Some feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.

Does your operator offer some kind of APN configurations to be sent via SMS ? This could help, because it might fix something on their side also.

How do u mean 'fix something on their side'? I enter my apns manually. I've called them and they just try to help me set it up over the phone or send me to their website. I know the apns off by heart, but i've also tried merging the into 1 apn, and various other configurations of all of their apns. I've tried changing user agent. Nothing. I bought the phone from Vodafone(unlocked) so the default apns are theirs(which are in the apns-config.xml by the way) but if I enter apns for Crazy Johns only internet works. MMS works flawlessly on any GB rom but not at all on ANY ics rom except GalnetMIUI ICS which is actually still GB with a few ics tweaks.

Have you tried to refresh your SMSC (do NOT use Update)? Dial *#*#4636#*#* | Phone Information, scroll down and hit 'refresh' for SMSC.

Yes I have. SMS works fine, but can't send or receive pictures at all. Just gets stuck at 'sending'. And can't download when receiving.

Um; I had this mms problem as well on mobilicity 4.0.3
when I updated to 4.0.4 ICS i heard mms was fixed. but it wasn't for mine; so i did a little research and someone suggested to integrate both the 3g APN with the MMS APN and it solved my mms problem:
I'm on mobilicity in Canada
try using my settings as a template for your network apn
Name: MOWAP
APN: wap.davewireless.com
Proxy: 10.100.3.4
Port: 8080
MMSC: [http]://mms[dot]mobilicity[dot]net <- couldn't post external links
MMS proxy: 10.100.3.4
MMS port: 8080
MCC: 302
MNC: 320
APN type (important): default,supl,mms
APN protocol: IPv4
all in a single apn; save it and select it

Yeah, I've tried this. A hundred different ways. Still doesn't work. Thanx anyway. Funny thing is, my network sells the galaxy nexus & they don't seem to have any probs using the 2 apns that I used on gingerbread.

Haha... I tried one more time and got it working. Thanks heaps for the template. My apn had .net at the end. Changed it to .wap and good to go. Cheers

Turns out this was kernel related in my case. Found that most custom kernels won't let me do mms for some reason. After trying kalim's cm9 kernel & finding that mms works using my normal apn setup, I went and tested them all. So far, matr1x 19.5 is giving me the best result. Happy.
....memoirs of a flash addict.

I had this problem as well and I'm also on Mobilicity in Canada.
My mms was broken in stock 4.0.3, fixed in 4.0.4 and then broken again when I switched to my first custom rom CyberGr. It was a great rom but one of the reasons I switched was my frustration at not being able to get mms working.
I screwed around with apn settings and tried 3 different kernels(including matr1x) and a bunch of other stuff that I've probably forgotten about, but no dice.
Someone suggested cm9 and that's what I'm on now. Mms and everything else work like a charm.
The source of this problem is still a bit of a mystery it seems to me because solutions that worked for some didn't work for others
Weird.

[Q] MMS Issues on unlocked HTC Titan

I have an unlocked AT&T HTC Titan running on T-Mobile and I have been experiencing some MMS issues. I cannot send or receive any picture messages. I tried to use the HTC Connection Setup, however, I was still unable to get picture messaging working. For APN, I have 'epc.tmobile.com' which I added manually. Any help will be appreciated.
Currently running OS Version: 7.10.7720.68
Thanks in advance.

deleted

I went ahead and contacted customer support. Thanks for the help. Hopefully I get a response back.

And??
Do you know more about youre problem i have the same problem

Frank, I am currently in contact with HTC customer support. It looks like they will not be able to fix the problem but I am attempting some troubleshooting in the hopes that it will help. I'll be sure to update the thread if I find a solution.

Small update. It appears that I am able to receive picture messages but am still having issues with sending. HTC support was unable to help me with the problem. They recommended a soft reset but that did not fix the problem.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

fix mms on titan
first dl the htc connection setup and let it run for tmobile. re-start phone.
then go to settings -> cellular -> edit apn
In the APN box:
epc.tmobile.com
Leave everything else blank!!!
That's it; should work.

this works ...legit...running tmo on titan...beast...data/phone/text/mms all work
