Problem with MMS

I've had a lot of problems with receiving and sending MMS lately.
As always, T-Mobile has been no help and has said everything is working fine on their end.
When i try to send it just says "sending and never does anything" and i usually don't get people's pictures.
I've even tried to change ROMS and still have the same problem. I'm currently on the ICS AOSP one.
Any help?

Did you lose your imei when flashing? That is typically the only reason to not be able to send texts if you have service otherwise.

Are you sure that you have your data turned on? MMS won't send or receive without it

my normal texts work.
and yes my data is on. When i try to send it says "sending..." and never does anything (has said it for over 12 hours now) in the mean time ive done other things using data such as web browsing and using apps. So i know my data works.

Same problem here

Was having this problem last week, and now it's degraded to the point that my data is gone too. GVoice is working sporadically only. I still have SMS and calling though. Only 2G gives me any data.

Factory reset/data wipe. It sucks to have to set the phone back up but Im sure it will help.

Whenever that happens I send an mms to myself. Somebody from t mobile said that would fix it, maybe in the my touch 4g forum, had no idea why though. Something worth trying at any rate

I actually just did that yesterday. Didn't solve the problem. I also reflashed AOKP. That didn't work. I restored to a backup of Milestone 6-1. That didn't work. I reflashed KJ6 modem. That didn't work. I flashed KG4 modem. That also didn't work. So far the only thing that seems to give me some data is running it on 2G only. I think on Monday, I'm going in to get the phone exchanged for a new one, and I'll just do a fresh flash right out of the box to ICS from stock GB. (Of course, following all the directions.)

Using the heimdall one click to stock kj6 flash back to stock. Then use the antonx one click, it sounds like you just have dust bunnies that needs sweeping up.

I'd thought about doing that, I guess I'll try it right now, since I've got time. Would I be able to just install SGS Kernel Flasher and flash AntonX's kernel from that after using Heimdall to stock rooted?
EDIT: Sorry I'm kind of hijacking this thread, but I Heimdalled back to stock, but I'm still having the connectivity issues. I have full 4G signal, but data is crawling to the point where the connection times out before I can even load anything. When I set it to GSM only (EDGE), I can get data, but not the 4G speeds I'm paying for. Reverting to Plan A and getting it replaced on Monday. (I hear it's possible it's a SIM card problem too...) Thanks for the help though.

kinda lost here.........

I'm kinda lost and spent about 2 hrs on the phone with at&t about this. I can send text msges get on the web get emails and everything but i can't receive text msges. They told me think it is because I still have gingerbread instead of the ICS on my phone. Well I'm taking care of that right now, what I'm wondering is will that take care of me not getting my text msges. Everyone else on my account is able to receive text msges but me.
PLEASE HELP

Doesn't make sense

Well not sure exactly why, but had the same problem when my dad switched from an iphone 3gs to an sgs2.. everything worked but receiving messages, eventually at&t removed his old messaging plan and then added a new one and it worked finally. (least thats what they told me they did)
Should go bother them again... and this time don't let them make up excuses (like you need to switch to ICS for it to work)

no never had a iphone hate them.....will never have a iphone

sms doesnt rely on apns, mms does. if you have the right message center number, thats for sending out the texts and it gets that number from the sim card.
if you cant receive texts then its a network problem and its on att head not yours, i agree call them up

Message Centers are for sending only AFAIK, I remember on all my old phones, when I restored to stock and had to reset my number or reset message center for any other reason, I could still get peoples' texts, just not send any.
Either something is wrong with his phone or sim or something is messed up on AT&T's end.
I'm assuming you've never done anything custom to it judging by not knowing about APN's and such, so I don't see how anything software-related could cause it. But if you're desperate, try a data reset just incase but don't get your hopes up. Maybe some security app you might have downloaded is blocking them.
It's under Settings>Privacy IIRC, my phone is broken atm so I can't check for myself.
Edit: And yes, GB to ICS will make zero difference. If that was the case, you wouldn't be able to use custom roms because we have 4.0.3/4.0.4 ICS roms, JB roms now, GB 2.3.5 and 2.3.6, none would work except whatever version the newest ICS that AT&T released is.

if he had problems with his phone he would have more issues than just sms, as sms is so basic that it doesnt rely on anything(just a signal to the tower) to get or send texts, even the dumbest phone can do sms, its the most basic and dumbest communicating tool there is for a phone, my bet its on att's end, call them up and reset or reorder the service for your account.

yes i've never done anything custom to it. so i'm like lost. talking to AT&T again. I hope they can get this working

MMS selectively working on Nexus 5

So I think they weren't working at all because my IMEI wasn't updated with AT&T when I got my replacement phone. Got that addressed.
Since then, I was able to receive old MMS, but even new ones sometimes get hung up on trying to retrieve them. exiting app and going back in doesn't fix it.
Starting the phone up again does though..
Made sure APN settings are good to go, unchecked 'mobile data' in sms settings and re-enabled within Hangouts.
I'm on stock rooted 4.4 (and franco kernel)
any idea whats going on? It seems like other people are having this problem too but I don't understand it. Thanks.

I am seeing the same issues here.. Stock play store purchased and rooted on Sprint, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't, sometimes even SMS sits forever and wont send or receive until I restart the phone, trying to find someone with a Sprint purchased N5 to compare APNs with
Its almost 2014, you would think someone would be able to straighten out the massive amount of MMS issues with android phones :/ It should "just work" to the customer

I have a feeling it has something to do with Hangouts app itself..

I have issues with hangouts indefinitely, also with textra and handcent. Like OP said,sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.

That's interesting you're also experiencing it with other apps.
I haven't tried anything but Hangouts.
Maybe it's a Kit Kat issue? no clue.

Considering you have At&t and I have sprint, im guessing ruling out the carrier is OK.

This is true.

Running on metro pcs and my mms is perfect with hang out and sliding messaging pro. Metro runs gsm off T-Mobile towers.

Interesting, i wonder what the root of the issue is since it's selectively working.
Can't be hardware, because it selectively works whereas my data and nothing else has been on the fritz, and it seems like whenever I receive errors rebooting and going back into the app it loads the ones it was hung up on. Seems like it downloads it, but just shows an error instead of displaying the MMS.
Hmmm
And I had AT&T double check the IMEI I provided them was accurate..
Hopefully it just resolves itself eventually, either the network, or a software hiccup, or whatever it is.
Because this Nexus 5 I have right now is a perfect "copy" or whatever you want to call it, a perfect build.
EDIT: I FOUND THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM!!!
adblock for me. Uninstalling didn't fix it either. Just resetting the phone (wiping everything in settings) nipped it in the bud.
It makes sense that that would be the culprit too because it requires root access, and permissions don't seem to kick in until slightly after the phone boots up initially which would coincide with mms received and sent just for those first few moments.
Good luck all, found this advice somewhere else, and so glad it's not a hardware defect as I had suspected it wasn't.

Radio modems (MB1) and Texting

So we know going to anything above a MB1 modem on none touchwiz ROMs causes texts to start to not get sent until you go back to MB1/TW and let the phone reregister the SIM; but has there been any progress into maybe finding out why? Was there a new modem on the Rogers 4.3 update that might have fixed that? Is there something in TW that does the registration to VZW that should get added to the none TW ROMs?

Miui for vzw galaxy s3 had similar issues...but have not found any help on this issue any where else..

Sounded like most people affected were East-coast, right? I'm Midwest, so that could be why.
I also read that they were all using the stock messaging app though, too, and people thought it could be somehow tied to some sort of "signature" the stock AOSP/CM messaging app sends it's SMS messages. Didn't see anybody mention if they were using a different texting app like GoSMS, Chomp, or Handcent.

I was using the stock messaging app. I also tried a few others GoSMS and another one and none of them changed the fact that until I did airplane mode on/off I couldn't send a text. once airplane mode was cycled i could send one text.. or when another one came in, then one text.

I live in central PA and had the issue where I could only send 1 sms/mms and had to reboot. I was on the ML1 modem (with MF1 firmware) and what worked for me and others is to go back to a TW rom. Then flash the MB1 AIO firmware. Make sure you can send multiple sms/mms. If they go through, you should be good to use AOSP roms. After doing this, I tried CM11, C-Rom and PacMan and all 3 allowed me to send sms/mms. The key is to stay on the MB1 modem. Don't upgrade to a more recent modem.

MMS Not receiving unless using HTC message app

So for the past week I have been using gboard and android messages to be able to send gifs, bitmoji, etc. All of a sudden for no reason I can't receive any MMS at all using any other message app than HTC messages. Has anyone else seen this? I have tried textra, verizon message+, etc. Once I uninstall the other apps i can get the messages again, but only with the HTC app.

Known problem with android.
https://textra.uservoice.com/knowle...-mms-timeouts-no-mobile-data-mms-send-failing

Again..
So the link above is for android 7.0... I have fixed the 7.0 problem in the past and did the whole new Sim activated on a newer vzw phone and had HD voice ect added and restarted my u11 with factor my reset. Fixed my mms issue for 6months until recently. Textra and any other app that isn't htc, fails to recieve mms. I have another u11 on 7.0 and it's not being used (long story) and put my sim in it and tested. Still no mms.
I did change my plan around the time the problem has started to occur again. Today I'm takin both u11s in and seeing if I can get mms to work by activating a new Sim. I'm frustrated cause I dont like htc sms app.
Anyone else having problems? Maybe the Sim card is just a bandaid?

Do you have a stock rom back up ? If so back up your current rom and data then restore the stock rom back up then boot it and let it update apps then reboot to recovery and save your updated stock rom to a new back up then restore your back up that you were originally using and it should text fine. I said to update apps and do another stock back up so you have a new updated back up for future fixes. I have had to do this a couple times but its usually after flashing things like I did through magisk I did the viper4android and it broke texting and data but doing this always seems to be a fix for me and others. Its not permanent fix but it will get your texts and data working again until you flash something again.

Ya, it happened randomly. I haven't done any mods to this Phone cause it works fine for me the way it is. It'll it was a vzw branded phone then I would put a custom ROM... Hate bloatware. If anything, I might tinker to get bands 2&4...Maybe.
But I'll try a factory reset tomorrow after work... So assuming I should remove sim before hand?

I actually have the same problem with my HTC U11 that's on Verizon services. I posted a new thread about before I seen this one. My problems started a week or so ago. I was using Android Messages at the time this stopped working. I have put my SIM card in 3 other phones with the same result. I then put my wife's SIM card in my HTC and was able to receive picture messages on the HTC using her number. So that said to me it's not a phone issue but my SIM card. I got a new one today and activated it using my G5. I was able to get picture messages on the G5 put the new card in my HTC and it was a no go. It's weird that her card would receive mms messages on my phone but my old card or new one won't. And now that I've put the new one in my HTC I can no longer get picture messages on my G5. I also noticed that on the G5 settings i was no longer able to turn on video calling. It said that service was not turned on and needed to be enabled on my plan. My wife still uses her G5 and it will let her turn on video calling. It's almost as if this problem is attached to my phone number and something fishy is going on with Verizon. Seems weird my new card worked in my G5 then lost that ability after putting my card in the HTC.

I checked to see if what you suggested was in those settings.... They are and yet I still am unable to 3rd party apps. Even message+ gets pics if I'm using wifi. It's really annoying

I tried that and it didn't work for me. Only the stock app works for MMS.

Ya, only stock app works properly. Message+ works right only on wifi. Surprised that there's not more ppl commenting on this or found a fix

I actually have the same problem with my HTC U11 that's on Verizon services. I posted a new thread about before I seen this one. My problems started a week or so ago. I was using Android Messages at the time this stopped working. I have put my SIM card in 3 other phones with the same result.
