Can't recieve sms/mms while on wifi

So I have cm7 and cwm. I cannot send mms/sms while wifi is enabled. I havent tried calls yet but i will in a second. Just wondering if anyone else has this issue?

Did you do a full wipe and install the rom???

I have a similar problem but opposite from yours. I can only receive SMS/MMS when I'm connected to wifi but I was using cm9/ics rom.

U need to do a full wipe when ur coming from ginger bread to ICS!!!

What baseband are you guys on? (Settings > About Phone.) If youre on "...March2011" thats why. Update to July_v21e or 20c.

I full wiped about 10 times now and it still hasn't worked. swapped sim cards too but that didn't help.

Redownload the rom...People are having problems with that

Yeah I did everything right! I just reset it and the problem went away. So I'm good now.

I'm telling you it's one of two things, either your Baseband is outdated or APN gets lost. Next time it happens, and it will, check your APN... Settings > Wireless Networks > Mobile Network > Access Point Names... guarantee you it'll be blank. yahtzee. Good luck.

I did check for that when it happened and it actually wasn't. I had a similar issue with the iPhone 4. Unlocking those phones were a pain in the butt. You had apn issues, mms issues, you needed a special sm card, etc. So checking the apn, was a thought that did register initially. Not to undermine what your saying but I don't think I will happen again.

so I've tried full wiping, wiping cache, dalvik cache, downloading and reflashing the rom, checked my baseband which is july 15, checked APN settings which was already set and its still not working. Any other suggestions or was it just not meant to be for my phone -_-

No worries man I hear ya... just making sure you checked that. What ROM are you on and what kernel? You can also use logcat and check for any errors related to Kineto.

Are you on an ICS ROM 4.0.x? If so theres an additional formatting step you need to take. Make a full back up first and I'd even save a copy on to PC just incase (also backup your 'recovery' image in CWM folder). You need to do the usual full wipe stuff, PLUS you need to format /system. Then flash ROM.... Moints and Storage > /format system. Be cautious and read more into this.

[Q] MMS problem with Viper XL?

I was on ATT 2.20 and just got root. Flashed Viper XL 2.1.1 and everything seems to be working great except MMS. I have the pta APN selected and that seems to match correct settings according to what I can find here. regular text and data connection seem to be fine just wont send pics. Any Ideas? I did a full wipe before flash and had to apply the camera fix.

[Q] Need help : Com.Android.Phone failed

I have a Verizon S III (Stock, Rooted). I was travelling internationally with it and was using it on GSM (using HiAPN app). It was working fine and then Com.Android.Phone failed msg popped up. I lost outgoing calls due to that. I tried various things and ended up doing factory reset. Now when the phone powers up it tries to activate and fails as I still get the com,android,,phone failed error. I also flash JB rom but I still get the same msg.
Any suggestions in this situation?

Did you do a full wipe and flash the latest JB rom or just re-flash the JB rom and leave your settings/apps intact?

Did you switch your sim when you went global? Did you switch some phone settings? Did you use a program to alter your APN (?) settings? What did you do to go global?
If yes to any of the above -- that's probably why. You need to be more informative in your post. Your post as is basically says nothing.

Yes, I used a local SIM card. I used a program called HiAPN to switch APN settings and changed the network from CDMA/LTE to GSM/WCDMA preferred. ,

Packet data not working on CyanogenMod 10.1 on Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500

Hi, I've been using packet data on my phone (Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500) with stock firmware ever since I go my phone.
I've been trying to install CyanogenMod 10.1 for 3 days, and I can not get packet data to work; I have created the APN as should be for my network provider, but nothing happens; it looks like the phone does not even try connecting to the 3G APN.
Is there anything specifc to be done in order to get packet data working again?

I had seen that post of yours already and I had tried it, in vain. Mine seems to be a different problem altogether; it looks like my phone does not even try connecting through the packet data APN for some reason.
When I'm on that screen (*#*#4636#*#* --> Phone Info), there's a field in there which says "Data Attempts: 0". I even tried accessing the menu on that screen, and there was "Enable data connection", I thought that would do the trick, but nada!
Is there some way I can debug this to see why the phone is not using the Data APN?
Ah, by the way, I have also tried with CM-10, same problem. When I revert back to stock firmware, works perfectly.

As far as i know you are the only 1 i saw who have this problem, others are low connection only. You sure you set your apn correctly? Note your apn setting in stock then flash cm check the apn setting if it is the same on the stock. Or just try to reflash the rom and make sure you follow the installation guide in op.
Try also to consult others maybe they can help.

Well, like I said, after I saw that Packet Data was not working on CM-10.1, I flashed to stock firmware; I created the same APN with the exact same settings as on 10.1, it worked fine; I thought I'd try CM-10 this time, so I did, and I created the same APN again, doesn't work; now I have reinstalled 10.1, with the hope that we come up with a solution soon.
Is there anyway I can see some connection debugging? Using adb, or otherwise? There must be a reason why the phone is not choosing the packet data APN, right?
Edit: I don't know if this could help, but I'm from a tiny island in the Indian Ocean called Mauritius. My operator is Emtel, and you can see the settings for Android on their website (emtel.mu/android). Based on that page, I am supposed to set up the APN as follows:
- For Name, enter WEB
- For APN, enter web
- For APN Type select Internet
- Leave all other entries blank
- Save

On stock firmware, I do have a drop-down to 'Select Internet' for APN type. On CM-10 and CM-10.1 however, I don't have the drop-down; I have only a textfield; could that be a problem?

Ok, so I was able to fix it in a very simple way; I checked out this post (showthread.php?t=2316943), and in there they tell you how to manually modify the /system/etc/apns-conf.xml file; I checked it and went through it, checking how the other APNs were set up; it turns out I just had to change APN Type to "Default" instead of "Internet" as specified on Emtel's website.
It now works!
Thanks for trying to help , ANDROID-000.
Just for clarification; I ended up not needing to modify the /system/etc/apns-conf.xml file manually; I just changed the APN Type from the interface.

I'm searching for it too but as of now i'm contented w/ this.:beer::beer:

Weird ROM behavior, no data connection

So I installed bmm without issue, made my back ups and started trying roms. I had a hell of a time getting anything to boot. I would get stuck on the boot animation every time. Finally got slim kat installed and that is the only one I can reliably boot into. Tried aokp 4.3 which booted the first time but gets stuck on the animation now.
Also, when aokp worked I had no mobile data. Same problem currently with slim kat.
Where do I go from here? I've tried clearing cache and davlik on both with no luck.

Thanks, Wasn't aware of that. I copied my APNs from my stock ROM. I get data now, just not 4g for some reason. I'm looking around to figure that one out.

I only have the options of 3g and 2g with 3g already being selected. I don't know whats going on. My stock ROM gets 4g with those APN's, re-entered everything to make sure I didn't miss anything but I still don't have 4g as an option.

Type *#*#4636#*#*
Then select ''wcdma only''
Sent from my MB865 using Tapatalk 2

Well wcdma only didn't do anything. After messing with Slimkat and another 4.4 ROM (which only worked until I rebooted) I've decided that there are just too many bugs for me to use it daily. I decided to try a 4.3 ROM but I'm still having issues getting one to boot after the first reboot. I've let it sit on the boot animation for 45 minutes and it never loaded.
I haven't found a lot of advice on the subject of ROMs only booting once. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I realize this is an old one, but I thought it might be worth mentioning...
I had the same problem. When I copied APN data (specifically "apn type") from my stock ROM data did enable, but at a very slow speed. A quick search yielded this AT&T site which suggested different settings. I was able to choose the "ATT Phone" config and modify "apn type" from "default,supl,mms" to "default,mms,supl,hipri".
When I modified that value, data was much faster, but still only clocked 3.5 Mbps on my CM ROM vs 5.1 on Stock with SpeedTest.net app. I believe it used different servers and I only did a single AB test.
...and by the way - I am also a bit frustrated with the BMM setup. It seems like a third of the time I am unable to successfully boot back into my CM ROM. It always seems to boot into Stock ROM fine. I do have CM in the second slot which it sounds like some folks prefer to not use.
