(I'm a noob at this so please be patient)
(By the way, I have 2.1 update 1 installed on my phone)
Alright, so I had my phone flashed to MetroPCS and I have talk, text, internet, market (with MetroPCS internet), and everything else working except MMS. I really, desperately need MMS. Also, the store that I flashed my EVO at is a good 40 minutes away, so I don't have time to go there anymore... Now, as I said earlier the phone has EVERYTHING working on MetroPCS except for MMS. What would I have to mess with to make MMS work? Ask me anything else about the phone and I'll try my best to give you the information, but remember that I'm new to Android flashing so be patient lol.
PS: I have 2.1-update1. Any way to make it 2.2? This would be really appreciated but I want MMS more than 2.2 lol.
to get 2.2 what about root?
I too have had trouble getting MMS to work after flashing a new ROM. What seems to work for me is to use handcent at least once, that seems to get the stars in alignment for the stock messenger ap.

Have you tried flashing the MetroPCS rom? MetroPCS Rom It says everything is working
Or this shows how to provision it MetroPCS Provisioning
Thanks for the help guys. Like the post above me said, use MetroDroid. It makes everything work. Plus I got 2.2

Glad you got the best of both worlds, MMS and 2.2. You may want to swing by and thank Bloodykiller86, he is the one that did all the work.
Hi all, I've recently upgraded to 2.3.3 and everything works fine except for one thing, I can't receive/Download MMS anymore. Everytime when someone sends me an mms, I get an notification and when I click on it, it just says something like 'cant download now, try again later error'.
I can send mms with no issues at all.
I did 2 things before this happened:
1. Flashed my phone to generic 1.81 on rom
2. Upgraded to 2.3.3 via OTA
I've also checked the settings for my mms apn and they are all good
any clues guys?

Try to delete the settings (APN) and redownload via the "Sony Ericsson" menu. Alternatively you might be able to do via the SIM Toolkit (it works for me, but might be different for different ISP/countries)
Hey thanks mate!! It worked!!

MMS doesn't seem to work for me on any ICS based custom ROM (It just says "Sending" forever).
Is there anything I can try or do?
Telus DHD, unlocked on Rogers Wireless.
Tried Ice Cold Sandwich & C&CICS and something else I don't remember.
Thanks.
EDIT: Resolved. Switched to aospX and it works. Apparently issue is just with those other ROMs.

The only thing I've done to make it work is to flash to a newer radio :
I was testing it with 26.06.04.14 radio but MMS wasn't working.
since I reflash with 26.14.04.28 radio and now it's working !
Hope it help others.
Tested on IceCreamSandwich 7.4 test 6 Custom ROM

Thanks for the advice, but unfortunately I just tried it and MMS on 26.14.04.28 on Ice Cold still doesn't work.
Could you both test do disable Wifixmanager in Applications then reboot.
After the reboot, please enable Wifi, wait a minute then disable wifi again and test to send MMS again please (Be sure to have Data enabled).

I never even turn on WiFi so I doubt that has anything to do with it, but sure give me a bit and I'll backup and then switch back to ice cold and give that a try...

Try sending the MMS twice back to back. I have had to do this on alot of ICS roms. The first one will stay sending but when it I make the mms a second time and send it then it normally goes right threw even though the first one is still sending

Never got this issue. for me even sending twice the MMS it was still in sending state.
I just disabled Wifixmanager and flash radio.
To be sure Lord asked me to flash the old radio to test if it was a radio Issue and it wasn't working anymore.
I reflash back to the last radio and it was working ...
I just can share my personnal experience
EDIT : Important thing i had to ENG S-off to flash ...

Oh your last post sounded like you wanted me to try that. If you are just trying to help me then I am just going to leave it. I am happy with the ICS ROM I am using with working MMS.
Thanks though.
no problem I like very much this community.
Hope it may help somebody.
1 - Is your APN set correctly.
2 - You do know mms need your data on to send and receive mms, it will not send or receive thru wifi.

I know starting new threads is a risky thing here, but I feel my situation is peculiar/unique enough to justify the risk.
I've been running CM7 and using ChompSMS (donated) ever since using Android, many devices ago. This is the first time something like this has ever happened. A couple days ago, my phone stopped downloading MMSs. I can send myself a message (text with a subject) and the notification that the message is waiting for me will come in, but it will not download. I called Sprint and got the code to reprovision the phone, so I downloaded a stock rom and punched it in. The stock rom would download messages just fine. Switching back to CM7 (I tried multiple nightly builds, as well as the most recent stable build), the messages stopped coming in again. I googled all over the place and the best solutions I found was to delete "telephony.db" or to try "APN backup & restore," restoring the APN with settings that worked for somebody else. Every time I restored the APN, it would just remove all the entries. I tried to restore defaults (which brought back a "Sprint" one), reboot, no dice.
The only solution I've gotten to thus far was to download Go SMS Pro, which can download the MMS, after the notification has already come in and I go in to hit download manually. Yes, this gets the job done, but it's just a band-aid over the problem. I'm mostly curious just what exactly caused this, why it persists over every CM install (but not the stock rom), and why I can't seem to find any way to fix it.
A quick update to this, in case anybody has been keeping tabs. This problem spans across multiple roms. I've since installed an MIUI ICS rom, more versions of CM7, a very buggy version of CM9 ported, and another gingerbread rom, all of which kept the problem going. The only rom that works is the most recent rooted stock rom I downloaded. I REALLY don't want to go back to stock if I can help it. Any ideas now? Would flashing new radios help this? If so, I have to be S-OFF to do so, correct?
Thanks for all your help, those that do!
been having the save issue with MMS but I use Handcent not chompSMS, it also wont download using the Roms stock SMS app. it seems to happen on any ASOP rom that I've tried. but any sense based roms seem to work fine. goSMSpro also works for me if I manually hit download (thanks cause that's better than nothing). I have tried to flash new radios, along with flashing CM with a formatted mem car. and nothing seems to work. so If you find a resolution please keep this updated. good luck
I've been having the same problem for the past couple weeks with CM7. I've tried everything the Google suggested, changing the APN, turning off auto-retrieve, disabling MMS with Sprint and re-enabling it after a while, etc., nothing worked. I tried a few different roms too. I can't get MMS to work on any rom unless it's sense based.

Doing this won't cause any other issues? I really want to get this to work because I'm having the same issue on a CM7-based rom.

It says in the first post, we tried deleting telephony.db
Some of us have tried flashing multiple fresh roms, which I believe would delete telephony.db
Mms won't work unless it's a sense based rom.

I run into the same issue on Deck's Reloaded occasionally. More often than not, though, MMS works. Have never bothered troubleshooting it since it's hardly ever an issue.
Sent using my HTC EVO 4G and a magic wand
Same problem
I'm having the same problem with CM7 on Evo 4G. I can get it to work with sense based rom and goSMS (thank you for posting that, I was about to bail on CM7 completely). Stock messenger and handcent won't work. I saw on another thread someone said it would work until flashing gapps, but I haven't tried that. I even tried backing up APN from a sense rom that would work, and restoring it to CM7, as well as deleting telephony.db, nothing works.
Yeaaahhh MMS can either go 1 of 2 ways. Either you try to get it to work and it works fine, like I just did on my evo, OR *nothing* you do seems to make it work.
I should know, I spent about 6 months earlier this year (on and off) getting MMS to work on my HTC Hero.
With that said, the first step is to make sure you're putting in the right APN info.
Start with deleting /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony*
Next, make sure you have the correct APN info in /system/etc/apns-conf.xml
You'll probably have to either sysrw in android terminal or "adb remount" on pc/mac/linux/whatever to make changes to that file.
This one should work on ICS/JB:
google sprint apns-conf.xml
Should be the last one, searchco.de
Just change the version to 6 if you want to use it on GB.
Reboot to make the system create a new telephony.db from /system/etc/apns-conf.xml
If that doesn't work, you may need more apn changes, framework-res.apk changes, mms.apk changes, etc. etc.
Currently my phone will only download mms that is 200kb or less with either the stock messaging app or handcent. I'm going to try some of the trouble shooting steps on this thread and see if anything works.
If anyone has a fix they know of that fixes this particular problem please let me know.

Oh wow.
Seems like a mission.
Im super lost w these directions.
I have deleted that telephony file.
Nothing works for me.
Its weird cuz when my girlfriend sends me panty pics, it works (she's on an iPhone)
But when my mom sends me pics of my dog, it doesn't let me download. (She has HTC evo 3g)
Im on cm7.2 nightly (newest) w Mason g .15 kernel.
I really don't get why this happens.
Also, another friend of mine has an iPhone 4s like my lady, but I don't get his pics

My girlfriend is having the same problem as everyone else when it comes to MMS. She has my old Evo 4G running CM 7.1. I wiped the cache and dalvik cache, updated the PRL and profile with a sense ROM, but none of this fixed the problem. I can confirm that Go SMS Pro will download picture mail that neither the standard messaging app or Handcent could (they both gave the error "download of message New Message from SENDER was unsuccessful"). Hopefully a fix can be found soon. BTW, thanks for the tip omegastu!

Hey,
Got this phone of ebay a little while ago and my outgoing MMS worked fine for about a month. The phone has been rooted and seems like it was running a custom ROM. However everything has been fine.
Now when I send a MMS it gets stuck on "sending" and eventually it will say message failed to send.
This is what I've tried:
Deleting the cache for messaging app (stock)
Adding a new Verizon APN
Getting a new sim card
I can receive MMS just fine, doesnt matter if im on 4G/Wifi cant send them out.
I was thinking about trying to flash my radio, or go back to the completely stock phone.
Anyone have any ideas?

I doubt it is a radio. If it was me, I would go back to stock or at least a ROM that you put on there yourself .
I reset to factory and installed my own rom and flashed the radio just to be safe. Everything is working now, thanks for your input!
