Hey, so I did the Simple OTA Root then followed that with the stock root by whiteslack. Everything is working perfectly fine but I cannot receive any MMS/Picture mail. I can send MMS out however. I always get a message saying downloading....
Is there something that breaks this in that root? Or is there an apk available to re enable mms downloading..? Under my settings for messaging/connection settings my MMS proxy says not set and MMS port says not set also..
Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated
BUMP this up top please
Just some very general help here.
First, are you running a custom rom or a stock rooted?
Second, try a PRL and Profile update from: Menu-Settings-System Updates, then choose Update profile and Update PRL
Third, Go to your messaging app (if you are using stock) go to: Menu-Settings, and make sure that auto-retrieve is selected. Also on this screen, Select: Connection Settings. and see what it says under MMSC
I am running the Stock Rooted 1.47.651.1
I just did the PRL and the Profile update
Under connection settings I have
Name - Production
MMSC - http://mms.sprintpcs.com
MMS Proxy - (not set)
MMS Port - (not set)
MMS Protocol - WAP 2.0
and auto retrieve is checked
Still getting same download error but I can send just fine
Turn off wifi.
Why do you think Wifi would affect that? I am turning it off tho and then updating PRL and Profile again
Then again I was able to get a MMS as a slide show from a contact I have that is connected or linked to facebook..testing something now
Ok Weird so I took a phone and sent a MMS to my google number and got the pic/slideshow
let me try to turn of google voice and see what happens
WIFI does not support MMS, you need to be on 3g or 4g for MMS.
Google voice does not support MMS either.
Very True, but Wifi also does not support SMS either but regardless even with Wifi on, the phone should know. But the issue is happening with Wifi off, I work at Apple and support iPhones so I know how to troubleshoot but I swear I took an iPhone 4 and text a MMS to my phone number and got the error downloading, then I text an MMS to my google number and got the picture.....turning off google voice now
Were you holding the iPhone 4 in the lower left hand corner?
Grab some duct tape.......
Google only supports text, no SMS or MMS. That is why many people have not 100% transitioned to Google Voice.
HAHHAHAHAHAH!!! Hey I said I work their and support but I do have an EVO!! lolol Not iPhone
Glad you saw the humor and didn't take offense.
Using the stock messenger, if you text a picture to your phone number, you should receive it without issue.
I have never been able to receive MMS or SMS through my google number.
If I turn on wifi, and try to send myself a picture, it doesn't receive the picture until I turn off wifi.
In the standard messaging app, there is a setting for Auto-Retrieve under MMS. Make sure that is on.
Resolved the issue. I turned off Google voice and I started getting my photos .. weird
Newly now all are coming in as slideshows.... normal? So if someone sends an emotion then I actually have to hit play..

I have the t-mobile pro 2 (US) and I finally updated my phone to "RUU_Rhodium_HTC_Europe_1.19.401.0_Radio_Rhodium_3.44.25.27_Signed_Ship" and the phoneworks great all features are performing as they should except MMS. My phone will not send any mms messages even though the settings look correct. All settinghave been changedto the t-mo settings, and internet, sms, all work.
Any ideas or has anyone had this issue and been able to solve?
I checked online and verified the settings are correct. When the rom updated it also update the radio. Could that affect MMS on t-mo US?
I am having the same problem on my phone if you figure something out please post it. Thanks
same issues, correct settings - using EnergyROM 3.0
I think i have figured it out it works for me atleast tmous rhodium flashed rom to 1.19.401.1wwe. Go to settings-connections-connections-advanced-select networks(programs that automatically connect to private network should connect using: select T-Mobile MMS)- edit-edit(T-Mobile MMS)-next-change access point name to (wap.voicestream.com)-next-finish.
Next go to txt msg's select all messages, then menu scroll down to mms options select it go to servers tap on T-Mobile MMS check connect via is on T-Mobile MMS done, and you should have it working.
I received an e-mail from a friend. He sent me the link to this post from Wiki_EnergyROM.
here is the post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4422331&postcount=6
I have tested it out and it works perfect.
Thanks Wiki_EnergyROM!
Hi all,
Been loving the Desire so far but this evening I got an mms from a friend, presumably showing me his own new Desire, and while the messaging app shows an unread message waiting it doesn't seem to want to download it.
The picture messaging settings seem accurate in the network settings so I'm at a loss as to what's up. This is all via T-Mobile, as per the subject, and everything configured itself when I put the sim in.
Any ideas?
I'm on t-mobile and receive and send mms mostly okay but there have been occasions where my mms wouldn't send at all. tried a different picture and it worked. I've had problems with mms and t-mobile on my iPhone before I got my Desire so I think it's a problem with t-mobile not the Desire?

You need to enable mms for you account, they are not included in the contract and thus you need to activate them online or by contacting them if it doesn't activate when you receive or send an mms.
All good suggestions, thanks.
I checked my account online and it's set to allow picture messages. I also just sent a picture to a friend, which arrived fine. I did notice that it disconnected from the net both before and after sending, so I'm thinking it's using different settings to send them.
Under Settings/Wireless & Networks/Mobile Networks/Access Point Names it does actually show two connections. One called T-Mobile Internet and one called Picture Message.
They're both very similar, except the T-Mobile Internet has no username/password set and no MMS server details. Also the APN type is set to "default" and "mms" respectively. Wondering if I should try combining the two...
Fake Edit: I just asked the same friend to send me a message back and this time it worked. Guess I just need to keep trying every once in a while to see if it happens again.
T-Mobile accounts generally are enabled for MMS to begin with, but to finalise the settings and actually activate it, you have to SEND an MMS. This activates the service.
Once you have done that, you can then normally receive.
if you hadn't sent an MMS before this, that is probably why.
Yeah that could be it, too; although I'm sure I'd sent MMS messages on my Touch HD before (same SIM). Ah well, it seems to be working for now at least! Thanks again all.
If you're using Handcent for sms / mms, that might also cause your issues...
When I get an MMS it does not download it (option to auto retrieve is set), instead the message is shown with a DOWNLOAD button, if I press this it says downloading but doesnt, sometimes the message will then show up minutes or hours later or not at all.
Anyone else having this problem?
Thanks!
edit: never mind, got confused due to multiple tabs, didn't read the thread title, didn't spot the Handcent bit.
lol No probs!
Still having this problem, can't send MMS's or receive them.
This is almost certainly due to your MMS settings. Check that they exactly match those for your service provider (menu -> settings -> wireless & networks -> mobile networks -> access point names).
I also thought this and had them resend the settings, in addition to that if they were wrong then I would never be able to send or receive MMS's.... Not just have a massive delay before/after sending/receiving!
Also this problem exists if I use the SE messaging app too not just Handcent.
From what I noticed this is due to the regular data-connection, as the regular data-connection needs to disconnect and the MMS connection going online to retreive the MMS.
I saw that at times the regular connection then tries to revert back since it went offline and thus killing the MMS transfer. If I connect to wifi the MMS will download instantly as the regular connection is down.
It's a shame that you cannot specify that MMS should be retreived over the normal data connection (yes I know a cost thing for many people).
I recall the X1 being able to set which connection to use for MMS, that was nice.
Is anyone else having MMS issues? I can never get MMS messages to send. Its rather annoying. I've heard of people adding a custom APN but my button to add an APN is greyed out.
The only thing I can do is toggle airplane mode a few times to get the messages to go through but it doesn't always work
Went to the sprint store today and they were baffled.
I have. New update 5/11 should take care of that. If you clear your cache it will take care of it.
Worked great man. Cleared cache on hangouts and MMS service seemed to do the trick

that's what i did after update picture would not go through and text takes a long time to send
cleared app cache and data
all is right in the world with sms
I have had a similar issue and it was fixed by turning wifi off and the message would send
My APN settings can't be edited. It doesn't let me edit, only create NEW APN's. I have my MSL and still cant change my APN settings. I could use the hotspot on the S6 SM-G925P. I'm currently non-rooted due to the recent 5.1.1 Firmware version update. Thanks.
There has always been an issue with sprint phones + Google Hangouts + MMS. For some reason hangouts will only send and receive MMS over data. If you want to test it connect to wifi, try to send an MMS over hangouts (notice that your data icon in the top bar will show). If you have poor data reception your MMS might not even send and the phone radio can get very hot. Now disable hangouts and use the stock messaging app to send an MMS. Notice that the MMS sends fine over wifi and does not activate your data.
I really love hangouts, but the inability to send and receive MMS over wifi is a deal breaker for me. Turning on data every time I get an MMS is a battery killer for me. I doubt Google/sprint will ever address this issue as it has been going on since hangouts released when I had an S2.

My experience has been the same since S2 also. Read all the MMS threads. Tried all kinds of changes to APNs. Most of the time I was running CM and blamed it for the issues. Finally tried Textra to find no problems with MMS. My conclusion was Hangouts. You can follow this Google thread if you have a couple hours to spend. All breeds of Hangouts users with same problem, with very little response from Google. My hope was for Hangouts to be for Android what imessage is to IOS. No such luck, but still hopeful. Until then, I use Textra with no problems.
I've been attempting to use XHangouts and the APN splicing feature to get Hangouts 4 to send / receive MMS through my carrier number, and no dice. Has anyone gotten this working on the Sprint S6? I'd, in theory, love to be able to use Hangouts for both the new Voice group chatting AND normal MMS functions but it seems like I can either downgrade to Hangouts 3 or deal with using another SMS client for carrier MMS.
Hi folks,
I've got a new problem that started after I updated my D851 from (stock/rooted) Lollipop to (stock/rooted) Marshmallow.
When I'm home, I've got a decent LTE signal (ATT, though using the T-Mobile phone variant). But since I'm home, my phone connects to my wifi and uses it for data. I have no problem making/receiving calls or SMS texts to a single person at a time.
However, as long as I'm connected to WIFI (with my cellular signal present but not used for data due to the WIFI), neither MMS nor group texts work. In the stock Messages app, or the Messaging app I actually usually use, these MMS or group texts sit there as "sending..."
If I turn off the wifi, the cellular data signal is used immediately and the texts go through. Same goes for receiving MMS.
Again, this only happens since the marshmallow update that I applied a couple weeks ago.
I have not found a fix. I found lots of people complaining, and a few proposed solutions, like changing the APN so that the APN Protocol would be set to IPv4/IPv6 instead of the default IPv4. See here for that reference, though it didn't work for me:
https://support.t-mobile.com/thread/61843?tstart=0
Anybody have a fix for this? it's a real problem particularly for incoming messages. I can always toggle wifi off if I want to send something, but not knowing when something is coming in gets to be a problem. SMS from single conversations come through.
Please help me troubleshoot this. I've googled my fingers to the bone and while I've found reports of issues like this going back years, no actual solutions that work for me.
HELP!
There's one workaround so far... using Textra as the messaging app. It has an option called the T-Mobile Wifi Calling fix (in Settings/MMS/scroll down to bottom). Even though my wifi calling is set to off, since I'm on ATT, enabling this setting in Textra automatically toggles off WiFi to send MMS/group sms, and it does the same when it detects an attempted incoming MMS.
I much prefer the Google Messages app, for a variety of reasons, and I'm looking to figure out a real fix rather than this workaround. Any help most appreciated.
