[Q] KK4 Modem MMS/SMS issues

Anyone else having issues sending and receiving SMS and MMS with the KK4 modem? Caught my attention when I couldn't send txt over 160 char. I went back to KK3 and started receiving MMS that I was told were sent the day before.

I did check the apn after going to back to KK3... some how it had gotten changed. Now MMS come through correctly with KK4. I just set handcent to auto split the txts to fix the other issue.
Thanks for your work on these. I am curious do you know if media hub is working properly in these leaked roms?

As far as I know it is....I don't use media hub

Sorry about the late response. Had a busy day with Marine crap. It's not buggy at all for me, but of course results may differ. But I think you should be good man. Everything's worked good for me so far on the UCKK4 leak except the modem of course due to the text thing.

did anyone found a fix yet?

Did anyone found a fix yet for the problem that can't send messeges when coneccted t
o 4g?

Sure haven't. I just use CM7 now since it has the 2/4g toggle in notification... I just deal with it now, until a new baseband is out for us, I don't think it will be fixed.

What type of messages? I email, text and mms all day. I've only had 1 time where a picture failed to send and I restart solved that.

It used to work well but because of some incident, though not confirmed yet, there is us in that group that can't send mms when 4g in on. As if sms wont trigger the 2g/gsm switch for it to be able the sms to be send.

There is a setting in the LG hidden menu that could fix it, but LG has not implemented it. Under modem settings there is a CS/PS preference (Carrier Signal/Packet Switched). You want that set to CS. Almost no carrier in the world has implemented PS sending for sms. When you select CS you get a toast message that says not implemented yet. If LG had implemented that setting to the baseband it would fix this problem. It appears the issue is that automatic CS fallback has been turned off. When on on 2G or wifi, sms message are sent by CS by default. On 3G and 4G, for some stupid reason, Android tries to send them first on PS, then when it cannot be sent that way, the modem is supposed to auto-fallback to CS and send the sms. For some reason instead of performing the fallback the modem is just throwing up a general error and giving up. If anyone can figure out how to issue a command to the modem and turn auto-fallback back on I think it would fix this issue.

I don't have such problem (sending text) when the phone displays "H" (I use Eagleblood AOSP ROM because I don't like 2G/4G).

Everything I have ever read about updating basbands was to NOT REVERT to old basebands will brick them that's on old HTC things I have no clue on anything else though. Those were also flashable through bootloader so idk.

Has anyone tried using the KDZ method to do an emergency restore of the Gingerbread firmware and baseband? That seems like it could fix the issue if during the process it resets all the baseband settings.

I use Google Voice for my SMS and don't send MMS. If I need to send a picture or whatever I'll use Dropbox or email.

Is not mms is sms only, only it happends when is connected to 4g network, when i am in 2g netwkrk, uma wifi calling or data disable it works fine. Is like the phone forgot the command to switch to 2g network to send sms message and then switch back to 4g. One doesnt see this switch because it happends in seconds

Well I still have the problem. My carrier cannot help me they have tried everything at this point they are asking me to return the phone.
I really wish this was fixed!

MMS Fix for Epic 4G Running ICS

Hi everybody,
We all know that ICS has made it a bit difficult to edit your APN(s). We also know that some of us have been having issues getting MMS to work when we install ICS on our Epics.
Luckily after a lot of research and a little tinkering I found a great fix that worked right away. I took the APN Settings from an Epic Touch 4g.
1. Within you Epic open your Voice Dialer App.
2. When prompted say "Open APNs".
3. Another pop up will appear, tap on the OPEN APNs message that pops up.
4. The next screen will show one single APN called Sprint tap on it.
5. On the next screen you will see the list of settings for the specific APN. Below are the list of settings that finally got my MMS working.
a. Username: Sprint
b. MMS Proxy: 68.28.31.7
c. MMS Port: 80
**ALL OTHER SETTINGS STAY THE SAME**
6. Once completed tap the menu button and tap save.
7. Reboot for good luck.
Steps 1-3 will also work for Epic owners trying to edit APN settings to use on another carrier.
Hope the info helps!

Is this more for wifi or 3g. Cause I know I have trouble sometimes. I followed your thing. Guess I'll see how it goes. Cause I don't remember when I have had mms fail for testing.

Interesting. I just noticed this today when I couldn't see an mms in an otherwise awesome CM9 RC1.
I just installed HandcentSMS and that worked, but I prefer not having the extra apps. I'll try this over the weekend.

I believe it only applies to 3G since the APLs are only used as network identifiers by mobile devices.

Interesting. Where did you find the info?

The first three steps were from another post i found through a Google search (Dont ask, i unfortunately dont remember). Once i found out how to access the APL in ICS it was just of matter of finding the APL info for another Sprint phone (in this case a Galaxy II) and entering that info in my Epic's APL.

this was one of the main reasons i installed TPR, may have to switch back to ICS, if this fixes the MMS issues!

Very interesting. Now I need to receive an mms to test.
One thing I noticed was after following all steps, a lot of other information was populated in the Sprint settings when I went back to look.

Wanted to give out a BIG thanks for this fix
I installed CM9, RC1, and had issues sending MMS. Was unsure if it was the towers in San Diego, as I was just visiting,or the phone, but as I has some extra time, I went so far as to do a full wipe and reload of CM9 RC1. Still, over several days, was unable to get a MMS to send 9 out of 10 times, no matter what I tried, while plain text messages went right away.
I rebooted my phone, tried sending a MMS, and it stuck on sending. Gave it 15-20, and even rebooted. Still stuck at sending. I deleted the message, made this fix, rebooted, and tried to send a MMS again, and the MMS sent right away

huge thanks for this! works like magic.

I ask because I posted this in the rc1 thread about 4 hours before this one.

I too can confirm that this works to solve the MMS issues on WIFI. However, be careful; when I rebooted after applying the fix, my phone tried resending all of my past MMS messages. It really bogged my phone down, and I had to delete them in order to stop it from happening.

Works like a champ

Fix works great on AOKP Build 40 :good:

Would this fix work on a phone flashed to Boost Mobile?, the MMS issues is one of the few major things keeping me off anything CM9 related...

be sure that you're not running to many background apps also this will happen from time to time with any phone, just ask your friend to resend it.
if you still get no response make sure your phone plan includes mms

what network is your friend on? I had an issue for a while where I could send mms to someone on t-mobile, but I couldn't receive mms from them. This has since resolved itself. I had tried everything I could find.
Look here this may help.

Did you have data enabled before you received the message? If not, maybe that is the case. I remember once i had data off and i recieved an MMS, but it just said downloading, even though i enabled data afterwards. But when recieved it again with data on, all was ok. Tell your friend to resend you the mms and make sure data is on before you receive it.

There was an IP you can use for you MMS proxy under the APN in the recent past that worked to fix this for me. (Can't find it right now)
I'm currently using the APN that Ryo linked to above... no issues.
This was pretty common with the initial JB builds... newer release would probably cure it too...

I think the IP was in the same thread as the other APN settings... Unless it's a different one.
Yeah, it seems the ICS and JB builds didn't have proper APN for ATT?
That, or ATT just recently updated, and developers hadn't incorporated the new one into Roms?
Who knows... At least this seems to work. (And at least TiBu saves these settings for me so I don't have to keep looking up the thread after every flash. XD)
I wonder if that fixed OP's problem?

OK, there is an issue with select Motorola Photon Q's where the MMS function doesn't work on the stock messaging application. I actually had mine replaced over the issue, as I was unable to send or receive MMS. This should not be an issue with the network. From my understanding, Sprint is aware of the issue, as the store I bought my phone at called them to try to fix the issue. So, an OTA should come out with the fix.
Now, there is a workaround that has worked for me. Use another messaging app, such as Go SMS Pro, and MMS will work.

So glad I found this thread..On my third Photon Q in three days. First had a defective vibrate motor..the second would not send or receive MMS unless using WiFi so they replaced it. Third one is doing the same thing. Just installed Handcent SMS and its working perfect using the 3G. Maybe someone should forward this to Sprint? I after two hours wasted with tech support and several tickets created, I am thrilled with the phone now. I love everything about it except the MMS not working. Thanks guy!!

There has been a fix for this issue as per the Sprint discussion board. I have verified it has fixed my MMS problem. You will need your MSL to change a setting, if you dont have it you need to call sprint or use another method to obtain it. It appears some data profile usernames were borked during provisioning
Steps to follow:
1. Open your dial pad and dial ##3282#
2. Tap on Data Profile
3. Look at your username, mine ended in ".comom"
4. If yours is obviously wrong (like mine), fix it, save it and then reboot phone.
5. good to go.

Yepe... Mine says .compcs.com... Gonna have to call Sprint.
Thanks for this.
