Hi everyone. My phone is an old Samsung Galaxy Ace running CyanogenMOD 7. In order to send and receive mms, I have to texting something to my carrier's designated number for acquiring mms settings. My carrier would then send the settings to my phone within 24 hours, and I would be able to send and receive mms messages. I've tried several times but haven't received the settings yet.
Is it because I'm running a custom ROM instead of a stock ROM?
Thanks guys.
could be, which rom are you using.
btw: mms is old anyway... use whatsapp

Hi. I'm using official CyanogenMOD 7 for my Galaxy Ace.
well i'd experienced this kind of problem earlier , you just need to do it manually :
1) Open settings , take a look at APN under mobile networks (there must be blank)
2) Use google to search for your provider's APN settings (example : android airtel internet and mms APN settings)
3) Fill it up in the APN settings then SAVE !!
4) Switch it on (there's a button on the right)
5) Turn on your mobile data
walla , you got internet access and mms working on top of your service provider
thanks

I have the following problem on my almost new Desire S.
I browsed the forum, but did not find an answer
i have the correct configuration for both MMS and 3G data.
Test case A)
If I configure only 3g APN, internet is OK, but no MMS (of course)
Test case B)
If I configure only MMS APN, internet does not work (of course) but MMS are perfect.
Test case C)
This is the very strange case...
if I configure both APN for 3g and MMS... internet is OK, but MMS do not work at all...
Sending MMS gives me "generic network error" message
When I receive an MMS, it contains only the text and it display a message saying "can not download"
Any suggestions?

Sorry, I can't offer any sensible advice, as all I can think to suggest would be to do a full reset and then re-setup from sratch, which is probably over the top.
I've never had to manually play with APN's myself. Can you get the VODAFONE website to send you the APN's you need?
I already reset the phone to factory... almost 3 times.
Since 3g APN and MMS APN work fine separately, they are correct.
Yes I get autoconfiguration sms from vodafone, but no chance to have mms and 3g working together

Sounds like a visit to the Vodafone shop or a call to their technical support phone line might have to be your next step.

Try the app: apn global, could be due to apn issues.

After the black update, I lost the ability to send and receive MMS on my Unlocked Lumia 1020 on T-Mobile USA network. I've entered the fast.t-mobile.com APN settings on both Internet and MMS, I have 4G LTE internet working, but MMS still does not work.
Before there was a Nokia app that auto configured this for me. I can't seem to find this after the Black update, or it is baked into the system now, but for the life of me, I cannot get the MMS working with the APN settings I have. Tried both epc and fast.

I'll be going into my local T-Mobile store later today, hopefully I can get an answer from them.
I got mine working.
OK so with the access point app installed what I did was install a manual APN outside that settings app. I went to settings > cellular and pressed the add MMS APN.
Once I set it up I was able to send but not receive. Just use the APN settings available pretty much anywhere for T-Mobile. After that remove the settings all together and reboot.
I guess the APN app setting kicks in again and viola. Worked for me anyways. Hope it works for everyone else.

Hey all,
Is there a way to setup my phone to use the at&t data for sending and receiving MMS only? I have a hotspot that I carry around so I don't need the data on the phone for anything else. I tried setting APN type to MMS only. But still getting hangout messages that aren't text related when WiFi off and only phone data .

I am getting so extremely frustrated!!! GRR
I have a T Mobile Note II. T Mobile gave me the unlock code so I can use my phone with AT&T.
I am unable to get service with the default AT&T APN settings.
I searched AT&T's help center and all over xda's forums for the correct settings.
I've tried several of the settings. The recurring problem with ALL of the settings is : I cannot send MMS.
I'm able to receive MMS though. SMS and data work just fine with all the settings I've tried.
And, yes, I restart my phone after every APN change I make.
Any suggestions would be helpful.
Hey guys. I Bought an unlocked S7 SM-G930V. Insertted my iiNet Simcard(nano).
Then i rooted it through Sticky thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039)
rooted it to G930VVRU4API3. Android Version 6.0.1
turned on mobile data, and inputted my APN details according to my phone network provider (iiNet) (https://iihelp.iinet.net.au/Troubleshooting_Mobile_Voice_for_Cannot_send_SMS_or_MMS)
Tried a few other APN combinations online such as using Optus's APN details(since iinet pretty much = Optus)
But i am still having MMS issues where i can't send/receive. But am able to use the net/make calls/SMS.
I re-enabled all the bloatware that i disabled by the disabler package pro.
My Question is (Please bear in mind that I have been sent an important image via MMS and i cant download it so i am avoiding anything that could clear that image from my text history)
1) Is it possible to insert my simcard into another phone and re-download the image that was sent to me already?
2) Any ideas? Would flashing to an incompatable ROM cause this?
=============EDIT/UPDATE
I inserted another sim card(nano), changed the APN settings to fit telstra's APN settings and now i can send/recieve MMS's(for that other number, and am unable to download the pic sent to me by my main simcard.
Call your carrier and ask them to text you the MMS settings, sounds like the ones you manually added are correct for Data but incorrect for MMS
