[MMS] Automatic sending/receiving mms WITHOUT data enabled - Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
First, this is a serious topic/question and I know what I'm talking about.
Here is my problem. On stock FW, when I send or receive an MMS, I don't have to activate the mobile data. Test it if you don't trust me, 'cause this is reality. Now, I'm on a stock based custom rom and I upgrade it to the last version (same FW).
This feature is not working anymore and moreover, I don't receive any msg telling me that an MMS has arrived and can be dowlaoded (quite annoying, isn't it ?). I don't remember if i had done anything special on the previous version (99% sure that no), like an xposed module or stuff like that.
I've check it several times: stock FW installed, MMS are sent automatically (msg app turns the data on the background, send the mms, and then turn it off), I flash my custom rom, and the "automatic" MMS are no longer working. I don't know if it comes from the Rom, the kernel or the process of flashing maybe. But I'm sure the feature worked previously, on this custom rom, on the older version.
Can somebody help me please ?
See you, thanks

[Q] MMS not working on any custom ROM/kernel (not APN-issue)

Greetings!
So, OK, I have an issue with MMS - and AFIK, it's most probably not related to missing or wrong APN-settings.
Any advice or pointers anyone will be able to provide me with will be very much appreciated, and I will buy a Paypal-beer to whomever helps me with the solution.
I am unable to send and receive MMS. It worked on stock ROM, but has not worked on any of the (many) various custom ROMs/kernels I've tried.
It opens / starts up a data-session, data appears to be sent/received, but after a minute or two, I get a failure message "after several attempts, the message was not sent" .
Yes, this sounds like an issue with the APN-settings.
However, I'm pretty sure it's not related to APN.
I have the original APN-settings from stock rom, have wiped all APNs on custom ROM, manually configured APN according to screenshots / notes from stock ROM, which are identical with the carrier's settings, I've used APN Backup on stock ROM and restored the stock APN-settings on the custom ROM, and I've tried replacing the .xml-files (mccmnc and default) from stock system\customize\ with the same files on custom ROMS before flashing.. Since I've had this issue for quite some time, I have tried numerous other stupid suggestions, but I'm out of ideas...
I should mention - MMS never worked on any custom ROM on the Desire I had from Feb 10 till July 11 either - it worked on stock ROM though.
I'm in Norway. My carrier is TDC - the SIM-card is Danish (TDC is Danish or something, don't ask, it's my employer's carrier). As such, the phone is roaming, even though I have a Norwegian tel#. I've enabled roaming everywhere roaming can be enabled.
FWIW, I'm currently on IC 2.4.3-2 (but this crap applies for all ROMs I've tried), and I'm S-OFF.
I've included a logcat from an attempt to send a MMS. Not sure if there's any useful information in there.

If you want to help, please let me know if any other information/logs/files are needed to troubleshoot this.
Thanks so much for any helpful advice in advance!

[Q] WIND data/mms doesn't work on any 2.3 rom

Hi all,
I'm having a bit of trouble with my milestone xt720. I can't get any gingerbread based ROM to work with 3g/MMS correctly. I've tried fjfalcon's CM7, J.Y.Daddy's CM7, HONO, Ice&Fire... I can't get any connections trying to send MMS. Yet, when I use CM6, Bravo or even MIUIv4, my mms is working.
I've tried applying Wind baseband, tried flashing brightpoint and UK sbfs incase that was the issue to no avail.
Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
Any WIND xt720 users have anything similar? I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong...
And even when I'm on CM6, the MMS/Data only works if I flick data on and off. Otherwise, my mms will just sit in messaging (with no notification!) with a link to download.
any help is greatly appreciated!
Hey there. First things first: what are your steps to set up the ROM? Do you always flash, factory reset? Or do you flash the SBF?
Did you also set up your APN settings after flashing an SBF? More information would be good
I usually restore to a nandroid of the stock WIND config, then boot into OR, apply updates then factory reset/ clear cache. However, I was afraid that was the problem, so I tried flashing both the UK SBF and Brightpoint SBF with fjfalcon's CM7.2 and neither have worked either.
My APNs remain after I flash, for some reason. I've tried re-entering them too.
you need to set the APN first
else it's not going to work
what is currently shown on your APN list?

WIND CA and WIND CA MMS. All the settings should be correct, since they work when I use them on CM6.3.6 rom.
I'm so confused

So, just to clarify: this issue is more related to you sending/receiving MMS rather than related to 3G data at all?
I only use CM6, and I have the same issues with receiving MMS. The fact that there is a quick workaround (as you have described, turning data on and off) means that I don't really consider this a problem. Sending MMS works fine for me: you can see the quick 3G turning off and on again when it sends successfully.
I don't really have enough experience with CM7 roms to say anything, maybe others could chime in here?

Well, I guess, but in those instances where I can't send MMS, I can't get a data signal either. To be honest, I'd be fine with this on&off mms thing if the camera on CM6.3.6 was more stable... the reason why I want to switch up to CM7 is 'cause the camera was more stable for me.
Could anyone would has gotten CM7 to work on Wind with 3G chime in?
Thanks!
update
I just tried flashing ChronosX and as expected, MMS and data don't work. This was a fresh install from SBF and the APNs was checked to be correct.
Does anyone else experience this?
I just flashed brianlili's CronosX RC2 and I was able to send an MMS no problem. The 3G went off and on like it usually does. Also got one of my friends to send an MMS (he's on Fido), and with the same behavior I got his MMS too.
I also tried this on fjfalcon's CM 7.2.0 (yes, I was on a ROM spree today haha) with the same success. The same 3G off/on behavior occurred as well.
It may help if you redescribe your problem again, in a bit more clarity?
Thanks for replying.
When I'm using a gingerbread ROM, and I try to send an MMS, it'll just keep saying "Service is not available, etc". I can't receive MMS either, I just get the link to download it, which returns the same error. The 3G never turns on at all.
I made sure that I an using correct APNs and that Data is on. I try flicking it on and off too like on CM6 to no avail. Is there something I'm forgetting?
Thanks

Issues with receiving texts on at&t network using custom rom

I have the AT&T version of the G2, its been rooted and I've tried both the Omni and Mahdi roms which i love, but im having major issues with not receiving incoming texts. Some come in, some dont, i have no idea why. When i text myself, they all come through. But i have had mamy people tell me that they texted me and i didnt respond. I did notice sometimes that when i restart my phone, i get a rush of text messages/emails once it powers back on. Also, i've tried both hangouts and regular aosp messaging apps and they are al lthe same. I following OP install directions for all roms and did a full wipe (as i always do anyways) when installing the roms.
Anyone else run into this issue or have any ideas?

Check your APN, I had this issue once before and switched my APN from AT&T LTE to AT&T PHONE. I still get LTE coverage without the SMS issues.

[Q] MMS is unusable on anything other that the stock mms app (All ROMs)

I've tried everything to get MMS to work properly but it just wont... Unless i'm on a stock based ROM with the stock MMS app. I've literally tried for 2 weeks to get everything working right.
Problem: MMS is resized to around 30kb or less. It seems to be just the Recieve Size. I can send normal size.
The only way to fix this that i've found is setting the MMS user agent to "HTC6525LVW". But that only works in a few apps. Mainly in kitkat ROM stock messenger. I want to run DigitalHigh's GPE 5.0.1 final version (not 5.1 i need xposed fully working. Most mods are broken in 5.1). When i flash the ROM i can send/recieve MMS but the recieve size is around that 30kb point i mentioned earlier. Which is pretty much useless. Everything else works. I've tried everything i can think of. I want to use google messenger. It happens in hangouts also. Textra seemed a bit better but not like stock.
Is there any way to fix this? I am running Lollipop stock firmware if it matters. Help would be greatly appreciated. MMS is important to me and i don't really want to run stock.
This happens on aosp kitkat, lollipop gpe. I haven't tried CM i don't like CM's business practices.
i have this same problem. is there a fix? none of my picture texts go through

SMS/ Phone call Issues

Hello everyone!
I installed TKHD ROM and love it except i'm having 2 very big issues!
1. Text messages. I don't get messages friends send me even when they're right next to me.
I've tried AirPlane Mode, rebooted, cleared Data and Cache of the app itself and nothing :'(
2.. Phone calls. When placing a phone call it sometimes lags before making that little chime (the one that notifies you that you're now making a call before the ringer sounds) It could sometimes take a good 5 seconds before making the call. Or, sometimes i make a call and it goes straight to VM even tho the person im trying to call is right next to me. This is also the same when people sometimes try to call me. Tho i'm not even using the phone, when thye dial it goes straight to VM sometimes.
Once again i've tried rebooting, flashing the ROM clean all over again etc but the same thing persists.
How did i install this ROM? By following the exact guide provided on the OP.
ROM: Latest version of TKHD
Kernel: Whatever comes with this ROM tho i also use SkyHigh
Recovery: Latest TWRP
Bootloader/ Modem: The latest version (OKC?)
I know some may say its my device but we'll idk about that. It only happens on this ROM.
I really like this ROM and would love to stay with it but idk how i can do that if i can't get the basics to work
Please help XDA !
Have you tried Odin to stock rom. Factory reset then fresh install? Also, I would download another copy of the rom. Could be a bad download.

What app are you using for messaging? I'm having an issue with MMS sending right now, but I think it's related to WiFi Calling and EvolveSMS. However my cousin did send me a text yesterday which I did not receive, and I wasn't on WiFi Calling at the time.
I am actually using stock SMS and MMS.
And I heard something about WiFi calling or wifi in general
And I do have them off and still run into this issue
