[Australia] Can't send MMS, but can receive them. With Aldi network (telstra)
Bought a mate 9 through ebay grey stock
About phone:
MHA-L29C636B112
EMUI 5.0
Android Version 7.0
I have tried changing APN details i am still having the same issues, if anyone knows a fix please reply.
Settings - More - Mobile network - Access Point Name - MMS
Perhaps you need to contact your carrier to make sure every value of setting options above is correct.
Or you can ask some friend which has the same carrier to check his/her mobile setting for APN - MMS.
I think some setting value(s) must be wrong. Good luck to you.
I also have a Mate 9 that I bought from DWI on ebay. MMS works fine on my Telstra sim. About phone:

You should also update your firmware, B181 has been released for that model (which I also have).

In regards to MMS, I've found in the past whenever I or family/friends have had issues, one way of solving it was putting the MMS settings within the general APN, saving and just using the one APN (delete the separate MMS one). Give that a try and see how you go.
I did update B172 currently on my phone not showing 181.
deleted seperate MMS apn, still not working
Thanks for reply, updated phone still not working.
I will try a different sim and see if the issue continues
APN settings are correct ive already contact carrier and got details, still not working

I have the AT&T version of the LG G3, but a T-Mobile plan. Everything works fine except the MMS. When I try to send a message it gets stuck on sending and never goes through. While receiving it just says it can't download. I have tried almost every APN setting possible and still nothing. Any advice for me?
I had the same problem. I've found that if I turn off Wifi, the messages will send/receive/download.

Just found another thread below about MMS not working. The culprit could be adaware/adblock, which kinda makes sense for me since MMS only works for me when Wifi is off.
EDIT: NM, it's not adaware that's stopping MMS from working. Just having Wifi off works for me.
Do you get LTE?
My friend received an Xperia Z3 from Telstra as part of his plan and I got an iPhone 6 as part of my iiNet one. I hated the iPhone 6 and he hated the Xperia, so we swapped after looking up online that they are both unlocked out of the box. Everything seems fine except that my mobile data doesn't work, in the upper left corner it shows iiNet (the right carrier) but I cannot seem to get my mobile data to work. Is this a problem with the unit itself or with the fact that we swapped phones?
You'll need to configure your APN settings since Telstra phones only come with their settings.
Visit iiNet's website for their APN settings then head to Settings -> Mobile Network -> APN and add them there. Save then enable.

Their website doesn't actually have it as far as I can tell, have sourced it for you here.

Thanks for your fast reply. I have entered the internet and mms an settings as two separate entries into my apn settings and restarted my device but if I turn off WiFi and mobile data on, chrome still tells me I am offline if I try to load a website. Do you know what I might be doing wrong? Thanks for helping a technology newb like me out, I really appreciate it

Hmm that's weird. Had the same problem on Reddit where a Canadian couldn't get their M7 to work with iiNet mobile data but their calls and texts were fine. Are you absolutely sure that the internet one is selected in Mobile Data settings?

Yeah it is... For the apn type for the inter net one, do I type "default or internet"? Or just one of them?
I got it to work in the end but thanks for all your help
For anyone interested in how I did it, continue to read:
Firstly I went to Settings > More under Wireless and Networks > Internet Settings (note you need WiFi to do this) and then selected Optus because iiNet runs under Optus and then the APN settings were changed automatically and mobile data now works
Sent from my D6653 using XDA Free mobile app
Ahh yes, the Optus APN, slipped my mind.
FYI for anyone else, the Optus APN works with all MVNO's using the Optus network (Virgin Mobile, iiNet, Exetel etc.).
Glad it's all sorted out.
Careful if you're in the Mid West and want to customize a 2015 Moto G. I have had great success with previous variants, but this one (XT1548) won't get back on the US Cellular network. Tried a few nightlies and the release version. No bars show, the status message reads: "Emergency calls only - U.S. Cellular", and when choosing US Cellular as the network operator it times out with: "Can't connect to this network right now. Try again later."
I found this post and was very optimistic that setting the Access Point Name manually would help, but I am unable to actually save the full APN. I can save it after entering the name & APN fields, and several more fields, but at some point when I enter all the data on that page and click Save, the new APN disappears.
I called U.S. Cellular's support number (888) 944-9400 and level two support was able to provide my MIN number but disavowed any knowledge of the remaining APN settings. When they understood that the phone was rooted I was read a dismissal and wished good luck. I tried entering the APN now with the correct MIN but again it deletes itself when I click Save.
I am going to try flashing stock since I need a phone. If anyone can confirm or deny the APN settings from the linked post I'd really appreciate it. And if there's some secret to clicking Save, I'd love to know that too!
Also, maybe it's because it's searching for a signal but the drain on the battery seems much higher than the stock ROM. It went down 25% in just an hour or so of trying to resolve this issue.
# Update:
It could be that the network type is incorrect. When I connect to adb, the prompt says "[email protected]_cdma:/ # ". But the service I use is LTE.
pushing APN via ADB
If someone adventurous is interested in pursuing this, it may be possible to shoehorn the APN settings in using ADB:

@loadcode Actually CM 12.1 wasn't tested on US Cellular XT1548, no one had this variant in those days. Try unofficial CM 13, if it works (I'm pretty sure it does) I'll port the fixes to CM 12.1 too
Thanks for the reply! I'm down for that! Where can I find the 13 download?
I did find this but the cellular still doesn't connect. It seems to try, and displays the SIM card icon next to US Cellular (only when I set the Preferred network type to 1g), but continues with the previously-mentioned symptoms.
Any other ideas? I didn't make a backup before jumping in. Does anyone have the original firmware that I could flash back on this device?

@Alberto97 Is it possible for someone to edit the known issues page for the Osprey to make other US Cellular users aware of this? This would have saved me a more-stressful-than-necessary holiday.
I think I found the original firmware, so all might not be lost.
Thanks for your work on this!

I have the virgin mobile variant.
It is also the same model as you. XT1548.
I along with others struggled to get custom ROMs to connect. But thanks to Alberto, it is now working
Try this
Flash Alberto's cm13 12-24 build from the site you linked above.
Once it boots, go to settings and click cellular networks.
Then click CDMA subscription.
If NV is selected, that is probably your problem.
Change to RUIM and reboot.
You may still need to add your APN settings, but maybe not.
Try it out. You just need to try a few things, I'm sure you will be up and running soon.

@hossman, thank you very much for the encouragement and the suggestions. I'd love to have your confidence with this but I've tried many different combinations of the APN, Service Provider & Preferred Network Type and nothing has been the magic US Cellular desires.
Like Alberto said, apparently no devs tested it on the US Cellular network.
If it'll help I could try to provide testing results but I'm also really eager to have a phone again. Even if I could use my SIM card in my old phone for now that'd be acceptable, but for some reason it doesn't work in the 2014 version. (worked fine in my 3rd gen until flashing Cyanogenmod, so I don't think the SIM is bad.)
If it helps with development, here's a log of the network join attempt:

The funny thing is I have had my carrier come up us cellular many times while trying to establish virgin mobile status
Sorry I did return it to stock. A (possibly relevant?) observation is that with the stock firmware, I have the option to toggle the CDMA roaming mode between home & auto. With the non-stock ROMs this was not listed.
For my reference if I attempt this again, and anyone else on US Cellular, here's the working APN settings from the device after I reverted to the original working firmware. All categories are 'Not set' unless otherwise listed here (even username & password):
APN Name (I assume this could be anything...): U.S Cellular
APN: usccinternet
MMSC: http://mmsc1.uscc.net/mmsc/MMS
MCC: 311
MNC: 580
APN type: default,mms,dun,hipri,fota
APN protocol: IPv4/IPv6
APN roaming protocol: IPv4/IPv6
APN enable/disable: APN enabled
Bearer: LTE
MVNO type: None
Don't get discouraged.
If you want to try again, feel free to pm me and I can try to help...no promises but I'll try..
We're online with the 2/6 build of Marshmallow! I did have to manually launch the Cellular settings app and manually enable/click on "LTE" and it came online immediately! WOOT!
When I send an MMS message my signal indicator shows data connected and with good signal but Chrome says my device is offline. Has anyone else encountered this issue and know how to fix it?
Edit #1: Why is MMS in it's own seperate APN in the settings I added the MMS into the APN for data and it may be fixed. Why would the default be wrong?
Edit #2: Added screenshots of APN & I T-Mobile is my carrier.
Edit #3: Forgot to mention I'm in the U.S. with a MHA-L29C636, still not fixed

Nobody has anything to say?
Not sure if this is relevant to your issue. My experience here on Vodafone in Australia is that when I receive an MMS, I have to turn off my WiFi and turn on mobile data, and then the MMS content will load. I assume it would be the same if I tried to send an MMS.

I have the same exact issue as these people who also have T-Mobile. Not quite the same as yours mine doesn't work even when connected to WiFi.
Hi to all. I am on Tmobile USA. On L29C636 rebranded from Chinese. Had the same exact issue with Mms after resting the device. So it happens after a reset. I solved the issue by deleting the APN and Mms settings and entered a complete new one based on Tmobile settings. Honestly it's the same but for some reason that's how it worked for me. By the way I had issues with native SMS mms app on the phone from day one. So I am using Textra and that was another work around for the Mms. Good luck

This gives me hope can you please screenshot your APN settings so I can test this solution?
Honestly I had this phone for almost 3 months and all the issues i had I was able to solve form the form here. So don't loose hope. Here is the shot u requested. In general it's the same
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
