MMS Issue, Can't send picture messages - HTC Sensation

For the life of me, I cannot figure out why I can't send picture MMS messages on this ROM (I'm using Bruce's 4.1.2 Kang JB ROM, 11/23 BUILD). I've checked all of the APN settings for T-mobile US, and everything looks fine but I can't send a picture. Can someone please give me some guidance? I have searched, and can't fix this issue. Any suggestions?
I can receive picture MMS. When I try to send it just sits there and says "sending" but does not send. I have no issues sending regular MMS.
Thanks!

Hi,
I find with JB ROMS that I always have to make a separate APN for my MMS.
So,I delete all the APN's in the list,and just keep the 2 I need.
One for data,and one for MMS.

I'm not sure there is a way to enable two APN's in this ROM. I can certainly add an APN, but it appears I can only choose one to be active. Maybe I don't understand how it works, but I'd like to figure it out.

Hi,
That is how you do it.
Have 2 APN's with the main data one selected.

Thanks! I'll try that approach.

So, I created an APN specifically for MMS, but its still not working. I still can't send MMS. Today, I even updated to the newest version of Bruce's ROM. Any other suggestions?

Does anyone have any ideas? I still can't solve this mystery, and could really use some help.
Thanks!

The ROM isn't broken, so the problem must be on your end. Rather than figuring out what has gotten screwy in your set up, it might be easier just to do a full wipe and fresh install. It should only take 15 minutes. And if something has just gotten screwed up in your install ( which can happen) a full wipe and fresh install should cure it.
I can't imaging its a hardware issue if everything else works.

Maybe you need to add a proxy for the APN settings. Over in the UK the carrier 02 has 2 different types of APN settings, one with and one without the proxy. You can try add/remove it and see how you get on. And for the record I use only one APN and get data +MMS

No luck

Well, I tried a full wipe and fresh install. Still having the same issue. I did the whole factory reset and wiped everything. I'm not sure what to do now. Any ideas?

I finally resolved this issue. I downloaded the GoSMS app and manually input the APN settings. Once I did that, I was able to send picture MMS.

I have been having problems with my mms since I first received my Nexus. MMS take 3 days to send and downloading mms gets stuck at downloading and never opens. I did some research and from what I understand it has something to do with your APN settings, try searching for the correct APN settings for your area and provider. APN settings can be found in ---> SETTINGS>WIRELESS&NETWORKS>MOBILE NETWORKS>
ACCESS POINT NAMES

Yea, I don't know if re-flashing the ROM would be of any use. Some people argue that MMS only work if you have a data plan with your provider, but I've read otherwise as well. I've also heard of Nexus users getting more up-to-date sim cards and that fixed their issues, maybe worth a try? You might want to give your provider a call and ask them for the correct APN settings or at least explain your problem to them and see if they offer any assistance.

Small MMS

Believe it or not, my search of this forum was unsuccessful in solving my problem. My received MMS pictures are tiny! Several different phones and networks sensing them.
Running leedroid. Thus did not happen once stock. I thought there was a fixed APK, but I can't find it.
At the very least, can someone on stock post their Messaging APK?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
It isn't the apk, it's the default.xml that needs editing. A data wipe also needs to be done.
Check the Dev forum, there are two threads on it.

Wow, Swype really screwed that post up.
In any case, it didn't happen on stock, and I'd prefer if my phone didn't have to lie to the network.
Did I read something about a flashable zip? Wiping seems silly.

[QUESTION / HELP NEEDED] SMS / TXT Msgs are not being received

Hi Guys,
Appreciate if you can help me with my problem. My phone is not receiving some SMS/TXT Msgs from my other contacts. My phone is able to send SMS properly but there are times that I don't received any SMS from my other contacts. Have you guys encountered the same problem as well? If so, did you manage to fix it? I'm using a HTC Sensation XE which is not rooted and no custom ROM is installed.
Thank you and apologies if this issue was already answered (I wasn't able to find a thread for HTC Sensation with my specific problem).
Have u tried restarting the phone? Have tried clearing the messaging cache in applications>manage apps? How long has this been going on? Nice phone by the way sir.

Thanks for the reply! Yup, I've already restarted the phone a couple of times and cleared the cache as well. Hmm. I think this has been going for a month or so.
You have a nice phone as well sir.
Have u tried doing a fctory reset? Are u using the stock message app not handscent or chompsms? Also you can go to your carrier and tell them u think the sim is bad. Ive had a few messed up sim cards that would do the same thing. Everytime i got a new sim the problem went away
Sent from my MIUI.us Sensation 4G using XDA App
I haven't tried doing factory reset. I'm saving it for my last option. I'm just using the stock messaging app of HTC. At first I was using Go SMS and I uninstalled it thinking that it was the cause of the issue. I've also reported this to my carrier twice.
Thanks again for the reply sir! It's very much appreciated.
Which carrier do you have? Call them and tell them u need a new simcard. Thats the problem man im 99.9% sure.

Thanks again for your inputs. It's much appreciated. I'll go to our local carrier and request for a new Sim Card. Hopefully it will resolve my problem. Thanks!
so did the new simcard work out for you?
Apologies for my delayed reply dude. I wasn't able to check XDA again til recently.
The problem was with my friend's network provider. Hehe.
Thank you again for the help and sorry for the very very delayed reply.
I also switched to Galaxy Nexus. Hehe.

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 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.

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...

MMS help

So, a couple days ago my phone started to not receive any pictures what so ever, and im unable to send them, they will only send if i put a letter for the subject, will not send with just the picture.....people told me they have sent me pictures and none have shown up at all, i do not use wifi and yes my data is turned on, im unsure of what the problem is....i did a factory reset and nothing, cache/dalvik wipe still nothing, changed roms and still nothing, now running aokp ics with kg4 modem and changing to hefe kernel here shortly, any help would be appreciated

Never had good luck sending picture messages with this phone, even on stock. Only thing that does it, sometimes, is to have someone send me a picture message first, then i send one back, then it works. But that's rare and inbetween. I ditched my data plan, so I don't care for it now. I'll email it if it's that important to share and use wifi. lol.
It was fine a couple days ago, then all of a sudden it started doing this....

Google apn with your carrier name in front of it. For me it would be att apn.
From curiosity, what would apn have to do anything with not receiving pictures or being able to send them?
Edit: i searched it, my apn is fine, if it makes any sense, i sent myself a picture, it didnt come through, it only came through when i put a subject, as only i receive it when i send myself it, no one else receives the picture i send them, even if it has a subject

When your changing roms do factory reset... Wipe dalvik and cache... Then format system. Its just good practice.
I see you said you are using stock mms.... If your Internet is working then most likely its something Tmo might have to fix.

If you're running any rom that uses my aroma installer the wipes get done for you. If you want a totally clean install it's better if you opt for NOT doing a /data backup during installation.
As a test for mms you can try to send yourself an mms and see if you receive it. If you do then mms definitely works.

Yeah it might be an APN issue but you'd be one of the first people reporting this issue so I would call up t-mobile and tell them you can't send picture messages, pretty much what you stated here.
If you do go to t mobile. You might have trouble getting help with a custom Rom. They are not going to support custom firmware.
