Can't send mms on CM12.1 - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm not sure when exactly I lost the ability to send mms through the default messaging app but it definitely works on 5.0.2 and definitely doesn't work on at least 4 different CM12.1 roms, all very cleanly flashed. It works through textra and chomp though, so it's not an apn issue. No one else seems to be complaining however...maybe most people don't use the pre-installed messaging app? I don't know, but I wish I knew why it stopped working and how to fix it.

Have you got the right APN for MMS?
EDIT-you mentioned it.

I also can't send nor receive MMS. I'm on T-Mobile with the correct apns

Hey Guys -- I'm glad I found this thread for, I too, have had MMS issues since upgrading to 12. When I upgraded, it set my default to Messenger which was fine. However, I noticed I couldn't send MMS through Messenger. I found the thread for correct AT&T APN for MMS. I checked and configured my APN to the correct settings. However, still no MMS sent capability. So I switched back to the standard Hangouts and no problem.
However, I have to think I can't be "stuck" on using Hangouts for MMS, right???
Thanks.

Its apparently an issue that Google has, the app doesn't know what APN to use. Hangouts or another SMS should work fine.

Textra works great.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement

I'm running CM12 (not .1 though) on my LG G3 (D850). I couldn't get Messenger MMS working until I deleted all the APN's that I didn't need. Only kept the ATT LTE one and now MMS works just fine. YMMV, but worth a shot.

I had issues with the APN after a CM12S update. If you are rooted, rename /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db and data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/shared_prefs/preferred-apn1.xml to have a .bak extension (or delete them outright) and reboot. The system will rebuild them and you should get your telephony database and preferred APN restored. If you're not rooted, you don't need to, but you can rename the file via ADB.

Anyone that is still experiencing the issue please follow this link and vote this subject up.
https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-3371
This is the bug log for Cyanogen and they just escalated the issue to critical.

Similar problem but slightly different here.
When I attempt to send mms (using messaging, messenger, hangouts or textra)
It causes device to drop data connection until I turn cell data off and on again.
If I do not send any mms internet works fine on 3g, H+ and LTE (4g)
I have removed all but the optus mms apn, updated the APN to match optus APN listing....
(Primary proxy and authentication had to be changed)
Still no progress. Anyone able to shed some light on where I going wrong?
Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (N910G)
CM12.1

No problem here. I use Hangouts though

tried this method, did not work. I had to go back in after and pick my preferred APN to get data to work again.

when I upgraded to 12.1 my apn was set to internet, rather than cricket aio.
Cricket AIO seems to have the correct settings according to https://www.cricketwireless.com/sup...ice-byod/customer/bring-your-own-android.html

You can't do MMS over wifi, you'll have to switch to mobile data to do MMS. It should work normally, but I've found that MIUI and MMS don't really go together when you're on wifi.

Ok I see. I turned off WiFi and of course my data doesn't work. I thought MIUI/CM7 fixed the loss of apn (data) issue ? Although I can make calls, I can not use data over the mobile network unless I remove my battery and reboot with WiFi off. This sucks.

Yup! I can successfully connect. But my apns have data and mms as different profiles. So I think its switching to mms then before it sends properly it tries switching back to data? I don't think there's a way to combine the two apns for wind mobile. But it works fine on weapon :s any more clues??

Sent from my Flashback HC-TAB using XDA Forum App
I just checked and once I try and send an mms it locks the phone in this vicious cycle of switching between internet and mms apn settings. Then a reboot fixes it. Anyone else experience this? I'm not sure if or how I can give more detailed info.
i dont have any issue, but sometime when phone goes through dead spot and radio crashes.. where it stay stuck in no service, you flick on plane mode and it doesn't effect it. So you'd have to reboot in order to get your service back. Otherway around that is you go in mobile network and select your network, but apns will disappear. :d SO just reboot.

I looked around and found that mms doesn't work over wifi, regardless of rom or root or anything. It seems the tmo servers need to make a data connection in order to start mms send. I've never had a problem receiving mms over wifi, but sending seems not possible.
Edit: As far as receiving, I enabled "auto retrieve"and have had no problems receiving mms on wifi.

I'm not using WiFi to send MMS and after checking the APNs I found two one says epc.t-mobile.com and the other one says simple with proxy settings in it... did a hard reboot, reboot, wipe dalvik cache, wipe cache and still have the same issue, very frustrating

[Q] MMS APN for T-Mobile USA after Black Update

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.

[Q] ATT LTE but cannot receive MMS?

This weekend I moved from StraightTalk (w/ATT SIM) to ATT. Everything worked fine on ST, but now that I'm on ATT directly.. I cannot receive MMS.
I can do everything fine -- send/receive SMS, access the Internet at LTE speeds, send MMS. I've tried a bunch of APN's and my current settings are below.
Any thoughts on what to switch would be greatly appreciated! Since I'm on a Nexus 5, AT&T has basically shrugged their shoulders and said, It's not an ATT phone, so all the features may not work.

APN: phone
Proxy: not set
Port: not set
Username: Not Set
Password: Not Set
Server: Not Set
MMSC: ://mmsc.mobile.att.net (removed the http to get past the newbie link filter)
MMS Proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS Port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication Type: Not set
APN Type: default,mms,supl,fota
APN Protocol: IPv4

It's been 48+ hours -- seems like long enough for things to sort themselves out or it can take longer than that?
No one has said the APN is wrong... I was hoping some other folks with a Nexus 5 on ATT would be able to comment/confirm that what I have works for them.

No joy. Wi-fi is off, data is on (I can get to Google). I've also tried with LTE enabled and then at 3G (LTE off). Pictures continue to send fine, but just won't receive them.
Even if Wi-fi is on, I don't receive pictures.
I guess I'll wait another couple of days and see. Worst comes to worst, I can switch back to StraightTalk w/ATT sim and be where I was. Seems odd to work correctly on a second tier (in my mind anyway) carrier and not a first tier one.

Yeah, really not a reason that it's not working. What size MMS are you trying to send?
I've tried about 20 different pictures that I've sent historically, plus AT&T Support couldn't send me pictures... nor could any friends. I don't know the size of any of the images. Just for fun, I've tried four different SMS/MMS apps, yeah I know.. that shouldn't matter at all.
On occasion the app has said "resizing image" before letting attache and send it, so some were "large".

I just tried that and didn't work.
And, I would like to officially stack claim to my status as an anomaly. I had one (1)picture that I sent myself today out of about 50 that actually went through. That's right, one was sent/received.. no setting or anything changed and back to can't receive.
I did also try deleting all APNs, rebooting the phone (taking the "clean things out" idea to an extreme) and manually typed in the APN.. no good.
Could my problem be with the Message Center Number? I've seen that referenced in a few places... but as I can send, it seems that wouldn't be the issue.
If I dial *#*#4636#*#* and go into Phone Information, the SMSC is blank. While I can type info into it, there's no "save" or "update" option...
If I hit refresh it populates with "+131323149810",145
Part in "s looks right for ATT, but again... no way to save it. The Update button doesn't 'seem to do anything.

It's definitely a weird problem for sure. It's one of those problems that if I had the phone in front of me...it might be a different story.

Skyrocket MMS not working with AT&T GoPhone sim

I've searched the forum and googlez but each APN I've tried does not allow MMS to receive. The candy kat 4.4.2 rom has a bunch of apns already entered. Tried each one. I can send MMS but cannot receive any. Is there anyone else using Gophone sim with working MMS?? What APN do you use?

I had this same issue, usually if data works your apn is fine. Try using a different app than what comes stock. I dl'd chompsms and I could receive mms again. Gosms is a nice alternative also.

I had the same issue. You have make sure that APN type is left blank. This fixed the issue for me. I had to use APN backup then SQLite editor to remove "default" from APN type and restore the APN.
Hope this helps.
Adblock Plus also blocks MMS if you added that.

What does it mean by APN type. Just so you know there is an additional APN menu on Google Hangout(default messenger for me). I did not touch anything there, it's there by default. I have added ST APN and 4g LTE is working fine and also receiving regular text messages. Not sure what else I could check for. I am not using ADBlock plus also..

In the APN settings you should have an option for "APN type". Mine was always defaulting to "default,hipri" whenever I would try to set it up. If you can leave it blank without it defaulting back, you should be good. I had to make a backup of the APN then change the database and restore it to make it stick. I will try to post some images for you.
