Hi Folks,
I've noticed something weird since I upgraded to Nougat (AL10, B577) :
When I get an MMS on the "data active" SIM, no problem, I can download the message.
When I get an MMS on the "2G SIM", it doesn't download the message anymore, and I have to switch cards to get the MMS.
With Marshmallow, the 2G SIM used to download the MMS automaticaly, even in 2G (GPRS) mode ...
Any idea on how to resume the old way of getting the messages ?
Cheers !

I was looking for a solution to my occasional SMS 'failure to send' error notification.
Noticed that the GSM carried SMS text were providing some send/receive errors.
I'm on Sprint stock OS & noticed that it came from factory as: Settings>Connections>Advanced Network on GSM for SMS transmissions. Always thought that was odd.
The only other option for SMS is GPRS which is a derivative of GSM.
Both had Preferred as additional options.
So I tried GPRS Preferred & GPRS by itself & it seems to have eliminate the errors.
Any advice on 1 or the other?
Anecdotally - I selected GPRS Preferred & my error issue went away.
But the settings changed back to GSM for me when I do a soft reset.
So the Advanced Network settings for SMS won't stick....keeps defaulting back to GSM.
I have my phone network setting as CDMA only.
Any ideas?
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.

Hi all,
I'm running the 8107 build on my unlocked v1.4 Samsung Focus.
For some reason, when I'm connected to WiFi, I'm unable to send MMS messages - when doing so, I receive a "Can't send message Try again" error.
If I disable WiFi at that point (revert to 3G) and try to resend the msg, it is sent without issue.
Whatdya' think?
Thanks!
Are you turning cellular data off and then going to wifi? You need cellular data on to send MMS. MMS can't be done over wifi.

Nope - phone just picks up the WiFi connection automatically (as it's been previously connected).
My wife has a non-unlocked v1.3 Focus, and she has no issues sending MMS when connected to the same WiFi network (?)
i have the same problem with my htc 7 pro. but i found out that it has nothing to do with wifi, the mms of wp7 are concepted only to use 3g and not wifi internet connection, it has something to do with the MMSC server where the messages come in from your device. and MMS and SMS look similar but are two different systems in message delivery.
an other way to send it over wifi is with an email to the recipient in this form [email protected] PTN is public telephone number and the carrier name is carrier specific... thats the only way sending over wifi/http.
When I try to send an MMS it just sits there with the with the "sending" animation and keeps doing that for a few hours (yes, hours) until it fails, and when I try to download an MMS, it says that it is downloading but just fails after about a minute. I have packet data enabled, my APNs are default, and I have mobile data enabled. Any ideas?

did You switching off WiFi. MMS sends only over operator data-channel.
if Your operator non Verizon it is not possible now. You can't send/ressive MMS over non-Verizon.

if you dont have data enabled at the time you receive the msg it wont automatically download...for me at least.
its quite annoying because on the CM10 roms ive used they never download even when i turn on data.
Personally the solution to my problem turned out to be Orbot interfering with messaging somehow, after disabling it I was able to send and recieve MMS
Hello all,
I flashed my girlfriend's Sprint S5 with Lineage OS recently without a hitch, all services working perfectly. We ended up traveling, so she went to Sprint to set up a temporary international roaming plan. Everything was completely as expected abroad. When we got back, her phone would not send SMS messages.
We tried the usual airplane mode and such, and to no avail. Assuming something was wrong with the network configuration from travelling, we reset network settings. Didn't work. I then decided to just do a full wipe and re-flash of Lineage OS. Still doesn't work. I then resorted to going back to the stock TouchWiz ROM from Sprint. At that point, under the stock ROM, SMS were sending. Out of curiosity, we flashed back Lineage OS, and SMS will again not send. We noticed that if the SIM card is removed, SMS will send, but the phone would not be able to access 4G LTE. We also confirmed with Sprint that there are no restrictions on the account.
What could be causing this to occur only on custom Roms? Do we need to do a PRL update? If so, how does that work on stock Android?
Thanks in advance!
S5 sprint No outbound sms
I've had this problem for weeks....So far the only solution is using Google voice app....
I'm using LOS 7.1.1 20170207 kltespr nightly, LTE SMS can only receive, sending doesn't work. Only 3G SMS works.
Things I noticed:
Settings -> About Phone -> Status -> IMEI Information. When on 3G, all information is displayed here, when on LTE, only IMEI and IMEI SV is displayed, there's no PRL/MIN/MEID/ICCID anywhere, not even disabled or greyed out, just hidden completely.
ICCID also shows DUMMY_NV_ICC_SERIAL instead of the actual ICCID.
Same experience for me, I've been trying to find a workaround for over a month with no success. Alternative text messaging apps seem to work, but I don't trust 3rd parties with my SMS.
Unable to send SMS

Which third party SMS app are you getting to work? Besides Google voice I have had no luck with any third party app?
I'm having the same issue. I'm on Resurrection ROM which is based on Lineage. Since update I can't send SMS at all other than via Google Voice. I can receive SMS and I can send/receive MMS.
I did find that if I change to 3g only for my network settings, I can send SMS. But then of course I don't get LTE data speeds for everything else. So the issue for me at least is tied specifically to LTE. Wondering if there is an APN or other setting I can change that would fix this but so far no luck finding anything.
Bug reported since 01/28
https://jira.lineageos.org/browse/BUGBASH-37
I've run into the same problem or similar. If I set my preferred network type to GLOBAL then I can send and receive SMS/MMS messages but I'm forced to either Roaming LTE or 3G. It's often stuck in 3G after a drive for any distance. If I force it to LTE, then SMS/MMS stops working and I can't place or receive calls either but the network will show up as LTE and Sprint.
To get there from Settings Home -> More (under Wireless and Networks) -> Cellular networks -> Preferred network type -> Choose Global.
Sometimes I can force it back to LTE but roaming if I switch temporarily to LTE then once it connects switch back to Global. Occasionally I have to put it in airplane mode to get the radios to reset and connect but some combo of switching network type and ending up in global and switching into and back from airplane will do the trick.
YMMV of course.
one way I fix it temporarily is to:
cell networks - carrier settings, let it crash
go in again and let it find your carrier
once connected, make a phone call at least to get it ringing
I can then make sms mms.
it's a rediculous work around but it works for me every time
SMS Sending Problem with Lineage 14.1 (31.07.2017)
Heyy
I'm not able to send sms from SIM 1 but can send sms from SIM 2 in Lenovo A6020a46 (2GB) on Lineage 14.1 (31.07.2017).
The same SIM is working good in another roms and Calling + Internet are working properly.
After dialing *#*#4636#*#* in Phone Information - SMSC Refresh then it appeared "Phone no.", 456 and I pressed Update.
But there was no process for saving or updating. Then I reentered in Phone Information but SMSC Shows blank.
What to do??? anybody help in this matter will be immensely appreciated.

I made this file using Odin with the steps from here. I flashed the file, set the connection to LTE aand it worked. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71582847&postcount=5908
To fix this issue with having LTE signal and sending SMS at the same time you have to open EnginneringMode app (or *#*#3646663#*#*) and check 'Sms over Sgs support' in Misc Feature Config tab.
Doesn't work because nothing comes up entering the code. Any idea?

If that code doesn't work for you, try to find an app called Engineering Mode MTK. Unfortunately I cannot attach any screenshots yet (I got less than 10 posts).
fix
there is an option in network settings (enhanced 4G LTE mode for comunications etc) i disabled that option and messaging works fine now. before unchecking this option i could only send sms only with phone on 3g mode, now it works fine. i think this option is for hd voice calls via 4g lte.
I see this is an old problem and I´m having the same problem. I can receive SMS, but I can´t send.
But to add to that, I couldn´t connect at all with my previous carrier and changed carrier after which I can use data, call and send SMS. I still can´t receive SMS.
