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.

How do I properly set up MMS setting on Samsung i780 on T-Mobile USA network?
look up on google..

Samsung i780 (mms messaging in T-Mobile) problem solved!
I spent a lot of time to resolve this problem. For sending and receiving MMS/Picture messages within US territory with T-mobile on Samsung i-780 you just need to set up MMS Client (because samsung provide not recognized MMS client for T-Mobile) Install ArcSoft MMS Composer following by the link: http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2008/05/27/arcsoft-mms-50317.html Just copy to flash card of your phone and start it. After Installation go to Messaging/Menu and you will see second "MMS option", enter all necessary properties and and it will resolve the problem with MMS sending/receiving. Good Luck.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Gio on the Telus network. The phone is rooted and unlocked. (was originally with Bell)
I am unable to send text sms messages with Data Packets (aka Data) ON.
IF I turn Data Packets (Data) OFF I can send no problem, as well as when I put WIFI on (Which also deactivates Data)
When I attempt to send it simply says "FAILED"
Things I have tried:
I have contacted my service provider, they have tried to trace my failed SMS messages and cannot see them on their side.
I have tried changing and re-entering the SMSC #.
Performed a factory reset
Reflashed factory ROM
Placed a Rogers SIM in the phone and was able to send without issue
Placed a Bell SIM in the phone and was able to send without issue
Placed my SIM in 3 other phones (Google Phone, BB Bold, Iphone 3GS) and was able to send without issue
Tried Apps - GO SMS PRO and Handcent
It seems that there is a compatibility problem with Samsung GIO and the Telus network.
All other features work flawlessly, I can receive texts and surf without issue.
Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Found a person on another forum with the same phone from the Bell network unlocked, working on Telus with both DATA and OUTGOING SMS Text messages.
So I know its not all Samsung Gio phones that are effected.
So either my phone has a unique glitch or the network where I am isn't acting the same way.
Any help/suggestions are appreciated.
Did you ever consider that your SIM card could have a problem?
Tried my SIM card in other phones and works fine, can send texts with data on.
Does that rule out the SIM card or could the sim card be defective only in certain types of phones?

Any other ideas on why Data would effectively block SMS Text messages from leaving the phone?
Are you certain you have sufficient signal?
Is it definately SMS and not MMS your trying to send?
Might be worth checking your APN settings.
Had you checked your message settings in your phone? Had you checked whether the service number in your phone is proper or not? It will be also an default if you don't enter proper messaging center number, it could be also an reason that your messages are to be shown failed.

I am certain I have sufficient signal. After receving a "FAILED TO SEND" while DATA is ON I can turn data off and click and hold on the message and hit RESEND and the message sends fine.
Definately SMS - MMS works fine.
I have checked APN settings.
What I did notice about the APN settings is that Telus incorporates both data and MMS into 1 APN. My friend on Rogers has 2 separate APN settings for MMS and Data however I don't see how that would affect anything.

Yes I have auto-updated the Service #, manually inputted it in both decimal and hexidecimal, and changed to a backup service # that Telus provided for me.
Still unable to send.
I am having the same issue. I have this phone with a Telus SIM. Help!
Same problem Sasktel
Same problem with text message on sasktel with gio

I did not test this myself. (I have data of cose i have no internet for my phone) But sometime my phone wont send a sms. It keeps waiting. And i see the signal is gone. After i restart the phone the message is sms send and my signal is back.
Firware issue
I work for a tele communications company and we are seeing an increase of this situation for the gio as of Monday on our networks. It is the firmware that is preventing the phone from sending the messages. The problem has been flaged and submitted to samsung/android. They would have to perform an upgrade to the software on the devices.
Not all phones are affected the easiest way to check if your phone may have this issue is to check the plan on the phone. Under settings in about phone, bottom of the page, if you get GINGERBREAD.MUGKG3 than it will be this issue.
This is not a network related issue but firmware. It may be an inconvienence to swith data off and on but sit tight and wait for an update. Hopefully Samsung/Android find a solution soon.
Hi guys - It seems my XT1045 just does not want to MMS, either send or receive. I have the AT&T Go Phone Service. I took my SIM out and put it in my iPhone 3gs and MMS works just fine. So it is not the service, but I am sure it is the phone.
I couldn't access the APN settings on the iPhone so I am not too sure of what is being used. I had UnLockIt.co.nz do the APN settings a few years ago. But now I cannot access that site anymore. So like I said, I do not know what the APN settings are.
I have tried different apps like the default app, an app called Messengers, and Handcent SMS, the results are all the same. I have also tried the various APNs for AT&T still with no luck. And I do have Data on, WiFi off.
So I raise the question, does anyone here have the XT1045, AT&T GoPhone Service, and capable of sending and receiving MMS?
Everything else works fine. voice, data, standard SMS, but no MMS.
Thanks,
Brian D
[Solved] Issues with Moto XT1045 and AT&T MMS
After much more research, I find that AdBlock Plus (ABP) may be the reason my MMS is not working. Has something to do with affecting Port 80 which is used by MMS to send and receive picture messages. I disabled ABP and it worked but not all the time. More research was needed.
Found that instead of using Port 80, I needed to change to Port 8080. This also worked. Started ABP and tested one more time. This time it worked. Not sure of the relationship of MMS Port 80 and ABP using/blocking Port 80.
The solution to this issue was to change my APN which is the default created either by the XT1045 based off of the network being used, or AT&T generated the APN. Either way, MMS Port should be 8080.
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
Im on Bell Mobility. I purchased 4 used S7's while in Florida they were unlocked on the AT&T network. When I got home all but the one worked fine. The issue with the one is that I cant send a picture with a text and this is in the stock app as well as textra. I have called Bell and after several days they say its my phone. I have replaced sim and factory reset the phone. I have checked the APN settings and they are the same as the other phones
Does anyone have any ideas

First, download using wifi both google message and keyboard from the play store. After installation, turn on your mobile data and turn off your wifi then try to send mms message. Also check network mode is swtich to lte/3g/2g (auto connect).

There is nothing of the exact name Google Message do you mean Android Messages by Google. I have looked in my mobile networks and I do not find any setting to change to auto connect
Thanks

Yes Android Messages (They might drop the name soon).
Go to Settings->Connection->Mobile Networks->Network mode. Check if the settings is switch to LTE/3G/2G mode. Otherwise check Access Point Names to see if you have any settings for your carrier. Probably mms settings is not configured properly.
Samsung has upgraded their messaging and keyboard app to allow gif and mms messages. So far it only works well on Android versions 7.1.1 to 8.1. ?
