I'm having trouble getting my epic to send out picture messages on straight talk.
I can receive them just fine and talk, text, & web work just fine as well.
I have an app that I found in the market called APN Manager but when I change the MMSC there it appears to be unchanged when i do the ##data#
I do have my MSL so thats not an issue.
I know it sounds silly making a big deal out of not being able to send out pictures cause i could just email them or post them on facebook.
If anyone knows something I don't that'd be greatly appreciated.
My one buddy keeps telling me its just standard Verizon settings. Incoming works but outgoing doesn't....
I'm not hear to teach anything illegal so don't ask.

What settings did you use to get the data to work. I'm pretty sure I did the same thing as you did to get my evo to work on ST. I just can't seem to find the data settings anywhere.

What's happening guys? I've searched through forum after forum trying to figure out why my Boost EVO won't send picture messages and have yet to find a solution to my problem. I did the ##3282# thing, went to Advanced & changed the MMS Server URL to http ://mm.myboostmobile.com (I put the space between the http & the ://mm.myboostmobile.com because I'm a new poster so this site wouldn't allow me to post it due to possible spamming) & still haven't had any luck at all. I can receive picture messages with no problem, but when I go to send them, it appears as if they've been sent out, but the phone that they're sent to never receives them. I've tested this out myself by sending a few picture messages from my Boost EVO to my Cricket EVO, which has no problem sending or receiving mms, and it never receives the picture messages from the Boost EVO. Anybody have any suggestions? Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanx
i have same exact problem
Yea im frustrated it seems nobody knows how to fix this im running ultimate droid 3.3 and everything works flawless except i can not send mms can recieve sms and send but no matter what ive tried as far as apps deleting file and other fixes somebody with more experince please help htc evo on boost mobile oh and the data fix ##data#does nothing wont even ask for msl which i have i hit send and everything nothing /
I tried for 2 weeks to get mms on my new Evo (flashed to Boost). I finally found a solution! I had to post because 1) xda-developers is awesome and 2) I'm so grateful to the original author of the solution (sorry I don't have the name or link for credit) I wanted to pass it along.
Sounds like you guys are running CM ROMs...##3282# doesn't work with CM, but don't worry, you don't need it! OK, ready for the crazy simple fix?? Here goes:
Download and install GoSmsPro from Market
Open the app and go to Menu>Settings>MMS Settings>APN Configuration
Check the Fill APN Configuration Manually box
MMSC = mm.myboostmobile (you know the rest)
Leave MMS Proxy blank
MMS Port = 80
Reboot your phone
That's it! You should now be able to send mms. Still trying to find a fix to receive mms directly instead of having to use web browser. If anyone has a solution please post!

I too am having the same exact problem. I am a reall newbee to this I have been an Iphone user for the past year and just got the HTC EVO working on BOOST.

I really appreciated you posted the fix for this particular problem, could you or anybody out there finished the remaining sentence MMSC = mm.myboostmobile if there are more to follow that sentence. Thanks.

There are just 5 posts in this thread and the first post spells out the mm.myboostmobile.com. I can't verify whether setting this in GO SMS Pro is sufficient or not. I did go and get GO SMS but I also did the ##DATA# >Edit>Advanced thing and changed the MMS from the sprint one.
I am getting MMS messages working in BOTH directions. IMPORTANT: At first I was having failures in sending. That was because I forgot to use the whole 10 digit number to send to. They appeared to be sent but they didn't go anywhere. Then I tried sending one to my own number which happened to be complete with area code. A couple seconds later I received it back. Shortly after that I got a message from Boost Mobile telling me that my Media Mail account was activated. So, it may be that simple. Half-working is not good enough.

I dont think boost will be willing to help if I tell them that I have an evo on their network... it sucks on the stock rom that my evo was flashed, mms works fine, and my data wont drop... but if i go with cm7 my mms will not send although it says it was sent and I can receive mms... ohhh and my data goes out every 10 min, so I have to turn 3g on and off to get it working again... but I dont want a sense rom, I love cm7...

OK so its a CM based problem. Make sure you don't turn background data off or mms will not send on CM based roms. The fact that your data keeps swiping is my mms won't send.
I am trying to solve this problem too. I have changed the address in the advanced ##DATA# menu but that doesn't do anything.
I have the 1/11/2012 Energy ROM installed, fresh install actually. Any suggestions?
EDIT: This seems to be related to the ROM, I nandroided back to my original rom and outgoing MMS works.
Not sure where that leaves me now though
if u would like to know the easiest way to do this message me and I will give the instructions. it doesnt require any other apps just your meid.

I think you solved this without knowing.
I just flashed my EVO 4G LTE to boost and everything was good short of being unable to send MMS over 3g (wifi was fine)
You posted to leave the MMS Proxy blank.
So I went into EPST and made sure that mms destination address as correct and then wnet nad set the mms proxy to blank and now I can send mms over 3G.
I'm going nuts trying to figure out how to fix my MMS issues — maybe you guys can help. I have an unrooted N5 running 4.4.4 that is inconsistently receiving MMS messages (both photos and group texts). I'm currently using StraightTalk, though I was having the same issue with Cricket.
My APN settings are correct (from what I can figure), and sometimes I receive incoming MMS. I currently have Textra and GoSMS installed as my texting apps, with GoSMS currently as my default. Occasionally I'll receive an error in GoSMS that an MMS message was unable to be downloaded, and try as I may, I can never get the app to download and display it. However, if I open up Textra, the message will have come through there with no problem. So basically, unless I have 2 apps gathering MMS, I'll miss half of them. I only installed GoSMS after seeing it as a suggestion/solution in another forum - this was happening before I both installed. I was originally using Hangouts for SMS/MMS, which was having the same problem (and why I initially DL'd Textra).
I occasionally have issues sending out an MMS. It's a less frequent occurrence than the issues receiving, though it does happen.
I am thinking that if this was a network issue, the MMS wouldn't come through to my phone at all, so I've stopped trying to mess with my APN. Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this?
I have Straight Talk too and been having issues with MMS i'm using 8sms. I have the old 3g sims card. what about you ?

I'm currently having the same issue with a non rooted device.
I was originally with H20 (an AT&T mvno) and would have periodic issues with MMS. Both sending and receiving. I am using Google Hangouts.
I recently switched to Cricket (owned by AT&T) earlier this month (reasons unrelated), and have not been able to send or receive an MMS since. I have spent several hours on the phone with both Cricket and LG, even going into a store to have my SIM replaced. I came across this thread accidentally while looking for suggestions on the best way to do a backup before I try a factory reset as a last resort to resolve the problem.
APN has been verified correct numerous times and unfortunately, Cricket's cust service is next to useless. After two and a half weeks and numerous calls, I still have yet to hear back from a Tech Support rep. I'm not sure whose network straight talk uses, but I wonder if it's a network issue with AT&T subcarriers?
The most frustrating part is every time I talk to somewhat at Cricket cust service, they say that the Nexus 5 is not "officially supported" on their network and that it is probably a phone issue and try to sell me a new phone. When I explain that the Nexus 5 runs stock Android, they try and tell me that that might be the problem *SMH*.
Anyone else?

Yes me too. I found out today that my G2 can't get MMS at all. I've tried tons of fixes and nothing seems to work.
No sure if anyone is still experiencing the MMS issues on Nexus 5 as I am. I have a stock, unrooted N5 running Android 4.4.4 on Tmobile. GoSMS is my default sms client. What happens totally randomly is that I COMPLETELY lose the ability to send/receive MMS picture messages (group messages that come in as MMS are unaffected). Once I lose MMS, ALL text I have which have picture messages attached change from viewable icons to blank images or "Xs". All MMS messages in go become white boxes that say "picture does not exist). It has not mattered if I have taken all other text clients off the phone and used ONLY Hangouts as the default, it still happens. This is the ONLY solution I've found to fix the issue:
1) Set Hangout as default sms client
2) Reset APNs to default (settings-->SMS-->Access Point Names--> hit three dots-->reset to default)
3) Go to main phone settings (Settings-->More-->Mobile Networks-->Access Point Names), reset to default
4) Select the APNs that your device normally uses (for me, its fast.t-mobile.com), set MMS Port to 8080 and save APN
5) go back into Hangouts, select the same APN (fast.t-mobile.com), set the MMS Port to 8080 and save APN
6) Reboot phone
Once its rebooted, if your MMS images are once again viewable in Hangouts, its fixed and you can send/receive picture messages again. You can now switch to whatever default client you chose. This has worked for me EVERY time to 'fix' the MMS issue, but what I have never figured out is WHY its happening and I can't pinpoint exactly when it started. I want to say the update to 4.4.2 may have triggered it, but I honestly can't recall. I know this wasn't ALWAYS an issue. If anyone else has any theories/ideas, I'm all ears. Its just a pain in the a** to have to reset the APNS in two spots and reboot every time this happens (I think I read that Hangouts' APN settings can override the system APN settings so that's why I reset in both spots). I've tried ONLY resetting the main phone's APN and it didn't fix the issue.

**com.qualcomm.qcrilmsgtunnel** is your gn0me in the engine;
where sms/ mms is *natively* transported via the native phone functions & hooks, hangouts provides the same functionality *over the top* of the carrier's route, strictly IP; call it hi-jacking in a sense, that's what you en-able hangouts to do on reboots, hijack those functions..
*SIM toolkit
*Phone/Messaging storage
*Phone
is what com.qualcomm.qcrilmsgtunnel is tied to, which hangouts, isn't..
Last update to hangouts screwed up my APN setting. ?

I am now a Cricket customer! I am getting H+ data. I am trying to send MMS messages using Textra (won't work) and the Stock Messaging app (ditto) . At this point I will use whichever of the two I can get working. Is anyone out there on Cricket who can explain / help who has personally dealt with this? I changed the APN settings on the X2 to be exactly the ones on the Cricket website (the Cricket store had misspelled some of it!) I also went into Textra Legacy and changed the APN manually (Textra had my old TMobile information - it didn't change automatically for some reason). I am trying to send the MMS (group texts and / or pictures) while off WiFi. I can send single (no picture) SMS and receive responses but I am a texter who sends mainly group messages and pictures!

In settings---->more---->Mobile Network, under Access Point Names under MMS tap that and look at the mmsc. Write that down. In Textra go into Settings, and at the bottom go into MMS, then MMS Advanced. Go to Manually Configure APN and put in what you wrote down in the MMSC.. Hit ok, then try it and see if it starts working.

Whaaat? You did? I know that you are gonna be shocked at how easy it is to set up right out of the box! I was hoping to find that elusive X2 702L owning Cricket customer out there who has figured out how to successfully send and receive MMS messages! I guess I am a unicorn! Lol! I am headed back to the Cricket store today... I don't know what they can do for me... I called them yesterday and asked if MMS trouble was an issue at Cricket right now (with my luck I would be beating my head against a wall for hours only to find that it is a known Cricket issue). They said not that they know of and told me to bring the phone back in... I don't think that there's much knowledgeable or experienced help there so I am not thrilled... If I find an answer I will definitely post it for anyone else out there having trouble...

I forgot to ask you... Is the Stock messaging app supposed to work at all? If I have all the Contacts formatted to +1 (757) 555-5555 is it supposed to work? I never got the "invalid recipient" message and have never had trouble sending or receiving actual phone calls... When I send a group message on the Stock app it does send it but it divides it up into separate messages. If I send to 3 people it shows it as one message on my screen but shows Sent 1, Sent 2 and Sent 3. The responses come up on 3 different screens. It's too confusing to follow... And when I send a picture it doesn't send at all. Should I tell Cricket that the Stock app never works for USA X2 users? Or does it? And when you have trouble with Textra they always tell you to test the problem on the Stock app so if it works on the Stock app it can be inferred that it is a Textra problem... But if you can never get the Stock app to work how can you do that???

I'm using Cricket on my 703L. I use Hangouts as my default messaging app, and I haven't had any issues using SMS or MMS. My APN info came down automatically when I inserted my SIM, but here's what I have:
Name
ATT Phone
APN
phone
MMSC
http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMS proxy
proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS Port
80
MCC
310
MNC
150
APN Type
default,mms,supl,hip,fota
APN Protocol
IPv4
APN roaming protocol
IPv4
Bearer
Unspecified
MVNO type
None
All other settings were showing "not set".
Oddly enough, I know I've used the APN info from Cricket before to get setup, using the MMSC you listed above. I'm not sure why it pulled down different ones when it did it automatically.

I'm using Cricket on my 703L. I use Hangouts as my default messaging app, and I haven't had any issues using SMS or MMS. My APN info came down automatically when I inserted my SIM, but here's what I have:
Name
ATT Phone
APN
phone
MMSC
http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMS proxy
proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS Port
80
MCC
310
MNC
150
APN Type
default,mms,supl,hip,fota
APN Protocol
IPv4
APN roaming protocol
IPv4
Bearer
Unspecified
MVNO type
None
All other settings were showing "not set".
Oddly enough, I know I've used the APN info from Cricket before to get setup, using the MMSC you listed above. I'm not sure why it pulled down different ones when it did it automatically.
I hope this helps.

Thanks, WPENN! I just got back from the Cricket store where 4 of us spent 2 hours on this and never got it working. I am afraid to jinx it but I actually found a website Gishan.net when I Googled I think Huawei Mediapad X2 MMS. This website had APNs for all the different carriers. I went to my device APN page and set everything back to default. Then I just plugged in the information they had for Cricket. Then I saved it and restarted. Textra is now working (I had installed 4 different SMS apps - including Hangouts - and none had worked. I bet they all do now... But I just needed one and Textra is my go-to...) I am doing the happy dance!!!

Oh, and I set the APN settings in Textra, too... I have everything written down in case I (or anyone else) wants to use it again!

That was my last hurdle. Now I am going to start looking for an unneeded power supply and I am going to try modifying my Smart Case!

I'm glad it worked for you! As many questions as I ask around here, I'm more than happy to help someone else.

Well, again I spoke too soon. I am sooo anxious for this to work that I jump with excitement the first day and then... [emoji26] [emoji26] [emoji26] [emoji24] [emoji24] [emoji24] I just don't get it! I found out that I didn't get a bunch of texts from people at Thanksgiving. That's why I changed the APN settings to the AT&T ones you provided. By then I wasn't in a group of phones. Only one other phone available to use to help me test mine. I have to admit, I think all the successful testing of the new AT&T settings was on a single person text basis. The word texts and the picture texts worked great and I thought I was so lucky! But then on Black Friday I was at the mall and was informed by phone calls that I didn't get some texts. Words. Both single and group texts. So that night I tried Hangouts. It was too hard for my recipients to deal with as they helped me with my testing and it seems like the group Hangouts still didn't work correctly. So yesterday I missed a bunch of texts... And last night missed about 15 pictures that were texted amongst the group. It seems like the recipients have no problem getting my word and picture texts. I just cannot receive theirs. So now I have tried 3 different sets of APNs on the Stock Messaging app and Textra and now even Hangouts... I just don't know what to do!!! A LOT of my interaction with this phone is texting and picture texting!!! If I could only find the xda unicorn - the person who is a Cricket customer who also exclusively uses Textra AND does not have a rooted 702L!!! Lololol!!!

I haven't had a single problem with texting on T-Mobile. I'm not sure why it's happening to you. Maybe it's something with the service in your area? That's the only thing I can think of.

I got a new sim card from Cricket yesterday and I am doing a Factory Reset today... I don't mind... I am going to start fresh and I am going to use the AT&T APN settings that the other poster who is a Cricket customer provided... I am going to manually put the APN information into Textra if it doesn't automatically come in. I have a good feeling about this... Wish me luck!

I got everything finished yesterday and soon after I got a phone call from a friend. He asked if I had gotten the 2 pictures he texted me... I didn't but I thought it was while I was down. He said he had just re-sent them. I had finished setting everything up and the first thing I find out is that I am still not getting pictures. So I asked him to re-send them. Still nothing... We were able to word text back and forth... So then I asked him to wait a minute and re-text the pictures and I immediately got off WiFi. I got the pictures immediately!!! So I went into Textra and went to the TMobile fix setting and turned it on. It is supposed to instantly turn off WiFi to allow you to get a MMS text (group and/or pictures). I did find out that TMobile doesn't allow MMS over WiFi so I figure Cricket is probably the same... I am Googling it today... So I guess if that setting works for TMobile it will do the same for Cricket. OR I can never get on WiFi again - I cannot predict when I am going to get a MMS text...

I don't think that will work since the X2 doesn't have wifi calling so that setting is pretty useless. On a side note, in settings under More---Mobile Network I have data roaming turned on and receive MMS messages while roaming turned on as well as the WLAN/Mobile Data switch set to always use Mobile Data if WLAN is unavailable. Make sure both of those are turned on.

Cat 6 isn't used here so you don't have to worry about that.
Is there a trick to getting MMS picture messages to send from this phone when used on the T-Mobile network? My friend bought the version of the phone from Amazon and updated the APN settings according to https://apn.gishan.net/settings/877_12_t-mobile_apn_settings_for_huawei_honor_6x.php but still is unable to send picture messages to me (I'm on AT&T and Google Voice). They look like they send from her end, but I never get them or any indication that there was an attempted MMS sent. Any thoughts?
