MMS failure in leaked Froyo UCJI6

Unable to send MMS with the leaked Froyo UCJI6. The image shows up as a slide and then fails to send.
I previously used market access, but reverted back to AT&T APN settings, and have verified that the APS settings are correct, but still unable to send MMS'. Is anyone else having this issue and has anyone found a fix. Thanks

This is a known issus and posted by a few people in the froyo issues thread here: Captivate froyo issues
Currently there is no fix

Where do you check MMS settings?
This sucks; you'd never know you were not receiving MMS until someone asks if you received it. Also, you'd never know until you try and send an MMS.

I can send MMS just fine running Cog 2.2. Haven't received one lately so I can't comment on that end. I'm also using Handcent so it could be something with the stock MMS.

Just set message center to +13123149810 its blank for some reason fixed it for me.

Mine was already set to that.
If I go into APN settings, the username and password are blank and you can't edit them...so my guess is that its something related to that.
When i try to send a MMS, I get "error in server response".

very weird... but now, all is fine.
went to check the APN settings under settings, network
then wen to check the message center settings
then, asked a friend to send me an mms, replied with an mms...
all seems to work now. weird.

Try sending the word "Test" to 151 & see if att replies. Thats what att told me to do then that worked mut other messages failed then they asked for my IME # then they told me to set message center to +13123149810 & turn the phone off & remove the battery for at least 30 secs. (I think they might have done something too) Then it just started working when I turned it back on. (I never mentioned 2.2 or gave them any indication that the phone wasn't stock)

The Message Center address is for SMS only and has no impact on MMS. It is only needed for outgoing (mobile originated) text messages.

I was able to get MMS working by creating a new APN using the following settings. After I set it up, I selected the new APN and rebooted.
Name: AT&T
APN: wap.cingular

Had this happen to me too...weird about the slide show play thing...did find that if sending to local # the 1 was not required (none of my contacts on Google or in Outlook include the 1). When I tried it with the 1 for non-local #'s it went through fine.

Called AT&T tech and they fixed mine. Now working. Able to send and receive.

You are right. To send an mms, add +1 to your local numbers

The suggested setting worked for me, kinda.
I'm able to send an mms if i share from the gallery, but not if i attach directly from the messaging app.

Unable to send SMS/MMS to AT&T Phone

My girlfriend has a Samsung Captivate and she can send me SMS/MMS but I cannot send her.
I have called AT&T Tech Support and also T-Mobile Tech Support, nobody can give me solid answers or resolutions.
Our workaround is to use that TiKL Touch2Talk Application for messaging, but this is simply annoying!
Anyone? Ideas? Also, anyone wish to PM me a phone number if they use AT&T so I can test with your line?
Thanks a lot guys,
Michael

What phone are you using and through what carrier and also what firmware?

I am using the Samsung Galaxy S 4G with T-Mobile.
Stock firmware, haven't flashed anything. Its out of box.

Try going into Settings/Wireless and Network/Mobile Network Settings and then Access Point Names.
See if there's an APN showing T-MOBILE US then underneath epc.tmobile.com
If there's nothing then click the menu key on the bottom left and select New APN.
Either way make sure it matches these settings.
Name: T-Mobile US
APN: epc.tmobile.com
Proxy: Not set
Port: Not set
User name: Not set
Password: Not Set
Server: Not set
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.tobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS proxy: Not Set
MMS: port: Not Set
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
Authentication type: None
APN type: Internet + MMS
Hope this helps.

Yep, everything matches. =(

* UPDATE *
I sent an MMS just fine, but SMS is still not working!

here's a work around. remove the dashes from the contacts phone number when sending MMS.

I've had the same issue when my friend (on the iphone) and I try to send mms to each other.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App

First, removing the dashes definitely does not work, lol.
IPhone also, that sucks, Mann I don't know where to turn for this one...

I'm referring to sending MMS messages. MMS has always been an issue even on the Vibrant. Oh BTW! removing the dashes is one of the quick fix that you can do to fix the MMS sending issue! if you use the search bar you will see what i'm talking about... soo search around this forum instead of asking and laughing at the someone who is trying to help with your situation. I suggest go find help somewhere else!

Not laughing at you, just laughing at how there isn't really any information about this...I have never had a problem like this before with any phone....

Anti-Throttle Summary for Noobz

Apologies if this has been answered in another thread -- i have tried to read them all but most were over my head! Many of us new Skyrocketeers moved our "unlimited" plans over from the iPhone so we aren't up to speed on Android yet.
Could the experienced people here please help me try to summarize how to keep from being throttled? (See especially item #2 below on tethering!)
1. Non-tethered solution : change the APN and get a ROM that lets you turn off 4G. Is that right? What is that APN and the info to use it? Is there a way to toggle back to the original, or even a reason to?
Here is how to do this: Throttling ... Solved!
From that thread:
I'm using the Rocketeer ROM and I changed the APN and also forced the Network Mode to GSM/HSPA (Auto Mode)
http://img.tapatalk.com/a69377c9-ff26-ef45.jpg
http://img.tapatalk.com/a69377c9-ff35-aea3.jpg
The APN settings are:
Name: HSPA+ ATT
APN: Phone
APN Type: Internet
All other settings are default. I also am NOT on 2.3.6 and noticed when I updated the APN didn't work anymore, so I went back.
I also have the WAP Cingular built and have working MMS.
Name: ATT WAP
APN: wap.cingular
proxy: wireless.cingular.com
mms proxy: wireless.cingular.com
mms port: 80
mcc: 310
mnc: 410
apn type: mms
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2. Here's the tougher question: How SHOULD I tether? Should the same solution to #1 work - just changing the APN and downshifting to 3G? I'm worried that if I do that they will still know I'm tethering. Is there a definitive way to keep from getting nailed? Is there a way to hide that I'm tethering?
BTW I am using the Viper ROM if that makes a difference.

scroll down ten threads or so topic header is "THROTTLE SOLVED" all the info you need is there
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App

You can change your APN to connect to HSPA+ until your billing cycle ends and then switch back. I went from 25 Mbps to 160k being throttled, changed my APN and got about 3mbps. Seems being the top 5% is not clear because it depends on where you live but I get throttled at about 2gb in Las Vegas. And I dont tether, well I did and got caught. I have since changed to the 4gb plan, ya...Im a sucker. My average is about 3gb so I caughed up another $15. I love LTE too much!!!

Thanks but that was the 270-post thread that I studied but didn't totally understand. Anyway, I edited my first post to refer to it.
Anyone know the answer to the second point, about tethering? How do I tether (1) without my carrier knowing, and (2) without getting throttled for using too much data?
Is there a particular tethering program I could use? Or just using the Titanium method or some other ROM -- won't that still let my carrier know I'm tethering?

Q MMS messaging and straight talk apn

Has anyone been able to get MMS working with an att straight talk Sim . I have tried many variations of the settings I've used in the past with no luck
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Yes, this is what I have used:
Name: Straight Talk
APN: tfdata
Port: 80
MMSC:http://mms-tf.net
MMS 66.209.11.33
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication type: PAP
APN type: default,supl,mms,hipri
APN protocol: IPv4
APN roaming protocol: IPv4
This works but every now and then it will stop working.. a reboot of the phone and recconection to LTE fixes it every time, so I believe it has more to do with LTE connectivity, then the actual APN settings.

I am using the same APN for the most part but I have only been able to send pics through Hangouts. I tried Textra and GoSMS and neither will send. I used the same settings on my nexus 4 with straight talk and all mms apps worked.

When you say you have been able to send pics through hangouts, do you mean that you are able to send MMS through hangouts, or just a pic to another google user?

I sent pic as a text to my gf. Tried other apps first went back and set hangouts as default and it went through.

MMS has been working flawlessly for me with an LTE ST sim. I've just been using the APN settings on this page with new APN defaults for all the blanks not covered here: http://straighttalkbyop.com/program.php

So you can receive and sent MMS on the Nexus 5 with those settings without any problems?

Update: with the apn settings I posted, I am now getting uninterrupted lte service and mms send and receive are working flawlessly. My occasional interruptions before were probably due to slow wake up after I was running WiFi.

MMS is tied to billing cycle as far as we can tell. Check http://productforums.google.com/forum/?nomobile=true#!topic/nexus/IQGICsHMFHA

This is true. I was in the same situation with everyone else. New Nexus 5 and new service with ST. Once I paid my next month, Pics came pouring in.

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.

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?

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.
