Been using fundozz's pureview miui rom and loving it, however I am unable to download picture texts (mms). I've tried playing with the apn settings and used an app that automatically sets up the apn for you, still no go.Did a full wipe before install, on T-Mobile USA. Any advice?

You might have to enable data to receive and send mms. This is a problem for me and doing this solves it. Then if you don't have a data plan just disable it after.

Thanks for the response. Data is enabled. It seems to be downloading for about a minute then just fails?
Has MMS worked before, on other ROMs?

Yes. Working on recent roms such as gsnap, GingerDX, even JB paranoidandroid works. Seems to be just pureview?

Yeah, I guess. Your response rules out other variables.
Alright so I installed go SMS. It received a picture just fine.. maybe its just the stock app? Which I would prefer to use over go SMS.
Maybe you could use the stock messaging apk from another ROM?
Ok so deleted go SMS.. now when someone sends a mms I get a fc.. something something.mms? Went into msg app and it fails to download again.
Would it be possible to unzip another miui rom and just install the message app apk?
Can't hurt to try!
No go. Problem parsing the package.
Hmmm. You sure they're both based on the same version of Android?

I guess it makes sense that they would have to be. But no... ill try another one later today. Thanks.
Proper apn settings?
Press thanks if I helped you!
As far as pulling a stock sms app from another cm7 based miui, it causes forcecloses. SMS app doesnt even open after installing the .apk.
As far as the APN settings, ive googled and searched, and everything ive tried is still a no go. Used an app from the store called Twweaker? Sets the APN for you, still no go.
Weird.

I have searched and didn't see this anywhere.
MMS pics only stay on screen for 5 seconds and then the screen goes blank. I just flashed to 2.3.6 and this started happening. Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a fix out there? It is annoying.
Hi Tytan0007. We have a Q & A section for questions.
What 2.3.6 did you flash? Stock? Vahlalla Black?

I assume you adjusted the "Screen timeout' in settings already? If so, did you do a factory wipe and fresh install of the stock ROM?
I did adjust it. The whole screen doesnt go dark....just the picture after viewing it for 5.secs...I wiped everything when I flashed.

I haven't been on stock or used stock messaging in a long time. You could try a third party sms/mms app like GoSMS Pro - which is what I use - to start. You may try a reflashing the ROM with a factory reset. You can try flashing Raver's Valhalla Black.
Or you can hang on and see if somebody else steps in to help

I would try this. If your mms/sms works using GOsms then it would suggest the stock app is having a issue. I seen something similar on another phone. The user couldnt get sms/mms until he installed GOsms. Then mysteriously the stock app started to work.
Not a fan of third part msging for privavy reasons so I will not be downloading any 3rd party. Maybe a refresh will work. Thanks for your help.

I suggest this only because it could jumpstart the stock app. The person I referenced went three months without mms/sms through several updates.
But let me get this straight..you will install a custom rom but third party messaging app is a nogo. Ok.
I installed stock 2.3.6...nothing custom on it. However, I did try handscent and although it did not fix the stock app I like how it works so I guess I threw my privacy thing out the window there. Thanks for the help anyway!

If you like Handscent... give goSMSPro a run. I have tried both and liked the latter much more.

So you are able to view the messages longer than the original 5 seconds?
And I guess I missed you said you were on the stock 2.3.6, my bad.
I understand the concern for privacy. But I think with the thousands of users of most sms apps at some point somebody would have found a security flaw in them. So you should be pretty safe.
One more thing if you really want to use the stock one. Redownload the stock rom unzip it and find the stock messaging apk. You can then push it to your phone via adb or a file manager that has root privileges.

You're welcome. You can apply themes to gosms as well.
Stock messaging is separate from the mms. If gosms is working and you like it, it beats the hell out of stock.
Ha! Get this, my pictures on the stock SMS work perfectly now. Fixed!

Change the APN's?
i only run into this issue once something happens when I go from wifi to data sometimes it sticks. MX superlight gb rom.. only happens sometimes
have you tried using a alternative browser such as dolphin browser, im on same rom and only use dolphin, give it a shot maybe its just the stock browser acting up.
EDIT: sorry im on superlite ics 4.4 missed you saying gb
Yeah apn looks right and I still don't get any data at all no signal for internet. Just voice service.

Which RADIO??? i didnt see any radio to flash
When I've had this issue either reflashing the ROM again or altering the apn settings usually works. However,a couple of the 2.3.6 roms did have issues like data suddenly not working after three or for days of doing fine.

so i flashed the radio and it still did noting. the internet is still not working at all.
What should i do???????????
total wipe and reflash man from scratch. Use a back up and restore. Maybe your downloads of the roms are somehow corrupted. Delete them just to be sure and re download. Just trying to think of any little odd thing that would cause this to keep happening.

Hi everyone, today I was updating my SKY ICS 4.2E ROM with the latest update, I followed all the steps (it's been a while since Im doing this) and finished, I assumed everything went fine and continued using my phone. later i found out that the MMS.apk was missing and tried to reinstall it but never could. I also tried reinstalling the update but it didn't worked. so here Im asking for a little help, Thanks in advance.

Messaging isn't in Gapps.
OP, SkyICS uses Samsung's messaging apk so your best bet is going to be to re-install the base. I am attaching the MMS.apk from the SkyICS base, so you can try dropping that in \system\apps\; don't forget to change the permissions.
Thanks, I did that but it didn't worked either, but went to the play store and looked for the ICS message app and installed ;D it was that simple all the time, thanks everybody.
Before you reflash
Go to settings-> Applications-> all -> and scroll ALL THE WAY to the end of the list. See if it is disabled.
This happened on mine, just renable and was good to go.

I've had notification issues with that app; double-check that you're getting all your text notifications before you close the book on this. Otherwise, great app if you prefer the AOSP look, which I do.
It looks good, actually I don't mind how it looks as long as it works. thanks for the help everybody.

posted ealier and no response back. im running jelly beans rom build 14 and i have aosp messging
Did this just start happening or have you never been able to send mms. Are you using stock messaging app or aosp. Did you try the simple solutions like a reboot and if that didn't work the good old wipe cache, dalvik, and fix permissions
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
This could have been asked before but i did some surfing and haven't found a thread. Is there a fix floating around for mms on JB roms for our phones? Example: I flash embro 7 (4.1.2) and the stock mms app lets me receive mms but doesn't allow me to download the attachment. I like to keep my roms pretty slim so i know i can technically install say "goSMS" or another app of that type and that will download the mms but i would rather use stock app. Thanks in advance for help/thread links.
On the jb ROMs I've tried I never had any issues. Did you try a different ROM?

Yes, it works just fine on kk and cm10.1 ROMs and certain jb roms like space rocket and miui (which I'm using now) its just the stock 4.1.2 messaging.apk that doesn't allow me to receive the attachments, which is why I was hoping there was a fix for it laying around lol.

Do you have adblock installed.
If you do under APN settings change MMS port from 80 to 8080.
