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
I am running on Cricket and have not had any MMS issues until I got the 8.1 update. I have tried different APN settings and they don't seem to help any. I have also tried to use textra but it will not send or recieve MMS. I have also Reset to Defaults but no changes made there.
Any suggestions on what might be the issue?
Thanks in advance.
Same. Hoping this gets fixed soon as I need the function for work. Really don't wanna opt out of the beta program and have my phone wipe

Are you also on Cricket or is the issue not dependant on carrier?

Yeah forgot to mention, also on Cricket.
I am glad to hear that it isn't just me that is having the problem. I guess it is some sort of bug in the software.
How do FB messenger and Snapchat send pictures? Because those apps work fine, it's just MMS via text
The issue seems to be only related to Cricket and the 8.1 update. It's clearly a bug that's affecting the APN settings. In some cases a duplicate APN is created automatically on update and the issue is resolved when this is deleted. Some other users have reported that they need to create a duplicate APN after updating and then when they delete the duplicate the problem is solved. Bit of a long shot but maybe it works!
Ya. I'm on VZW and MMS is working fine over here. Hoping it gets fixed soon for your sake

It will be fixed with the november security update. I found this out by one of the tech guys on the googles pixel forum. you might already have it . It was released on 6th. Im still waiting for the update to hit my phone.
Fixed ! Need to delete the second APN. I conference Google an Cricket wireless together and let them fight it out over the phone.
I have two apns both internet:ndo. Do I need to have root or anything? And is it simply just deleting the second entry??
I had the same problem (Cricket and 8.1) and also had the duplicate APN appear. Deleting the 2nd APN didn't work for me, so I deleted both (so I had no APNs), removed and reinserted the sim card, and added a new APN manually following the directions from the Cricket website.
You do not need root to do this.
If I'm understanding correctly none of the current roms work on Sprint's network. Is that correct?
I've tried lineageOS and couldn't hold a signal so if there's one that works please point me in that direction.
Thanks.
I hadn't had any luck with ROMs on Sprint either until today. I decided to restore my TWRP backup of LineageOS 14.1 official, then I re-flashed the bootloader and radio from the most recent stock build (I had been on 4.4.3 to test something). The device was not active on my account at the time, but when it booted up, I got an alert from Signal Check Pro that it had an LTE signal, and the LTE indicator was on. So then I signed on and swapped devices to try to reactivate it, and immediately went into carrier settings and tapped update network settings. I got an alert shortly after saying com.android.phone had stopped, but it appeared to work, and I had a signal and LTE indicator. There was a Lineage update showing (May 17), so I downloaded it (over LTE) and installed it. Everything has been working so far, both before and after the update: voice, LTE (all bands), SMS, MMS, and RCS. So I really didn't do anything different, it's just working now.
Note, I have had SMS problems on every stock build starting with the first 6.0.1 build, and all security releases after it. I haven't had any problems on any older Android version. What happens is it works fine for a while, but at least once a day. SMS stops working until I reboot or update network settings. That's why I installed Lineage, trying to determine if it's a bug in Android or the radio. So far, no problems, but it has only been a few hours.

LOL it course the SMS bug struck after about 24 hours.. except this time it took a couple of tries to get data working again, and SMS wouldn't work again.. I knew better.. back to stock again..

Last few weeks, textra has stopped receiving MMS along with any other 3rd party SMS apps. I have everything up to date with no mods or romsom the phone. I use get MMS just fine by activating a new SIM on a vzw phone. I tried this method again to no avail. Any help. And yes I did search the forums and google. Is this an isolated incident? Thanks in advance

Curious if anyone has found a fix.
I had an issue the other day where SMS's wouldn't send, with the error 'No sim selected for SMS' or something like that. A reboot sorted it, though. (This is on a DUGL model)
Bump
Anyone... I mean anyone have a solution?
I'm thinking of doing the RUU as another member suggested however I'm kinda nervous about it. Both htc and Verizon keep blaming each other. Honestly it's really frustrating. I woild love to the the u12 but I just got the u11 and it works great... Outside of this issue.
Anyone have any roms that work maybe? Maybe I need to root the device?

Check your APN settings just to make sure everything is straight. The incorrect APN can screw things up. If you have another Verizon phone, compare the APN setup.

I can't change my apn... I've tried but it looks good
You have to be rooted to change the APN because you have to add 2 lines to the build.prop to allow an app like APN Settings to add a new APN. I have the same problem. My APN was slightly different from my wife's. And still you can't change an existing APN only add a new one and delete the old one. I've tried it all. I'll save you the trouble and tell you that didn't fix the problem. I have talked to Verizon and it shows on their end that I'm receiving the MMS message but it never shows in Android Messages just says it expired. If I push and hold on the it has expired message it shows received info. Did find a forum where people with the first Pixel phone were having the same troubles. Google released an OTA for that phone to fix the bug in Oreo but only in that phone. I can only think that this phone has the exact same bug, just my problem only presented itself a month after upgrading to Oreo. I have noticed if I open Android Messages and leave it running in the background and then use Verizon Messages+ to send myself a picture message (never had a problem with mMS on Messages+) and go to the recently opened apps list and select Android Messages the picture shows up no problem. But as soon as I make Android Messages the default messaging app I no longer get MMS messages.

I noticed after my update to Oreothe problem seemed to have happenedas well but in March. Same issued with using message+ or stock MMA receiving MS's just fineand showing in textra but Textra as default app I get errors. I literally just rolled back my u11 to Android 2.42.617.1 from 2.42.617.6 and made some progress...i can use gosmsjust finebut textraand android message is a no go. Tomorrow I'm going to see if I can get a new SIM card activated on a vzw branded phone and try that. If that doesn't dork I'll roll back to Android 7 and try the sim thing again.im just so tired of using stock MMA and vzw message+ doesn't like my vpn...i have to either turn vpn off or switch default SMS to stock jn order to receive mms

March is exactly when my MMS stopped working. I went to a Verizon store where I know a guy that works there. I asked him if he could make sure my advanced calling features were activated on there end. He did something and said you're all set and gave me a new SIM. I activated it in my wife's old phone that had working advanced calling and mms messages. It didn't fix my problem, but there is a guy on here that swears by that fixng the problem. I have also seen where people have called Verizon and had them turn off their CDMA provisioning and that helped. I haven't tried that yet. I've basically have said F it, and I downloaded the top 10 messaging apps for 2018. I found one that works that I like called QKSMS. not real flashy but it's a newer app and he is still adding features as he can.

I've done the SIM card thing before and it has fixed my problem untill I updated the system. Since then I've been in mms hell. So, I'm going to try what worked once before and might give vzw a call about the CDMA provisioning again. I will get textra again... One way or another

The guy did say after he got the problem fixed, if he did any flashing or updating to the phone he pulled the SIM out and didn't put it back in until completely finished and he hasn't had the problem since. If you do find your solution please let me know. I have spent hours trying everything. If yours stopped working in March like mine, May I ask when you got your phone?

I will definitely try to keep this thread updated. I have spent hours as well to get things working and countless factory resets. I did notice that my apn settings don't have a MMSC which is suppose to be http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms as well as a mms port 80...so maybe the new Sim will correct that cause I can't
But as a recap so far I RUU back from 2.42.617.6 to 2.42.617.1, my next stop is new SIM with all goodies activated and ensure CDMA provision is off

Alright thanks. I've also ruued back to 2.42.617.1 and all the jazz. I am able to add new apns and manually put in the mmsc and port number. That never helped. My dad's Pixel 2 doesn't have a MMSC or port number but my wife's Moto G6 does.

What really blows my mind is why some apps work and some don't. I was digging around the database for message storage. I noticed when the message went through I would get one field that said something like vdn.wap.mms. if the message was never received it would show like http://random IP address/ servlets/MMS and at the very end would be msg_id=? It would also show in the pending field of the database.
Just flashed Resurrection. Everything is cool except my calls don't connect. When I dial, the call immediately ends. If I toggle airplane mode a few times the call will finally connect. I figured this is an AOSP thing. Does anyone know of a fix?
Metro pcs is my service provider by the way
Bump.. been checking around and I've found nothing. However I'm able to dial Google voice numbers without issue

I know a fix, but you're not going to like it. Flash something else. See if the problem persist. If not, boom, problem fixed. If yes, make a log. Post it in the ROM thread together with problem description. Wait for fix.
edit:
If the same problem persist also on another ROM could be also HW problem.

I actually love flashing new ROMs lol. Unfortunately flashing a different rom didn't help. Same thing is happening. I ended up flashing Official Android 11 Pixel Experience.
At this point I'm sure it's an AOSP thing or custom ROM (don't think it's HW atm). When my bootloader was locked for the "168 hour" wait period I was able to make all of the outbound calls I wanted. I'll post some logs in both threads just for the record while I continue to find a fix.
I've found a workaround for my issue. I installed an MIUI ROM. I've been able to make calls without issue.
Not sure why MIUI allows me to dial out and AOSP doesn't. If anyone can chime in, that would be awesome. Otherwise I'll rock with MIUI ROMs for the time being.

Pixel Experience hasn't been updated for a long time if I'm not mistaken.
I personally use ArrowOS 12.1 and have no issues. Even automatic call recording works for me

I was previously on awaken os android 13 version.I noticed this call problem when I was on that rom.So I shifted to pixel experience.
But I just turned off Volte toggle and now calls are seems to be working.So could it be issue from my network provider side?

To be absolutely sure that it's your provider's fault, I would probably also flash MIUI to be 100% sure
