Can't send MMS. - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've never really tried sending an MMS since I got my phone about 2 months ago.
I'm running DC3.5 and when I try to send an MMS u get a generic network failure error. I can receive MMS though. I get this message when trying to send both via WiFi or 3G.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

i'm not sure it would work, but it can't hurt to try re-provisioning your phone.

edit mode
enter msl
data profile
menu
reset
this will reboot and re-provision your phone. it does NOT do a factory reset so don't worry about that just doing this routine.

Just update your profile from setting & PRL, how I fixed my issue with MMS

That didnt work.
Any other suggestions?

Backup everything and do a full wipe and re-flash.
Only thing I can recommend besides getting a better ROM.
clockwork 3.0.0.5 only has options for a factory reset and cache wipe. I'm scared.....plz help

There are tons of threads on xda of mms not working on custom roms. Normally if its not working its an apn issue. I've even posted instructions on this last week on another thread. Search around and you might find it. I'd link to it but I'm not at my PC. Also keep in mind mms doesn't work over wifi if you have that on turn it off and see if it works then.

The rom I'm currently using IncredibilyReengineered only sends MMS with the wifi turned off. Maybe you could try turning wifi off before sending the mms and see if that works. Just a thought. Usually the phone does this automatically, switching to 3G for MMS, but for whatever reason you have to manually turn wifi off to get it to work, at least you do on IncrediblyReengineered.

I'm running CM7 RC2 right now and I can't send or receive MMS messages unless I turn OFF wifi and then turn ON 3G... not too bad since its mostly text. Let me know how it works out for you.

Yea I can send on wifi I meant but can only receive on 3G ... (must turn off wifi cuz it always overrides 3G)

I read this here.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=910461
I had mms issues on even the stock rom before I rooted. It didnt matter if I had wifi on or off. The only rom that has ever worked 100% of the time was the cm7 nightlies.

On most ROM's MMS will not send or receive when WiFi is on and connected. Sometimes it switches automatically to 3G like it should but more often it fails If you see it did not send then leave WiFi on and toggle Mobile Network. It will send just about immediately.
I just keep the Mobile widget on my home screen for that rare occasion that I am on WiFi and send an MMS.
Text is fine because that goes over the voice network
its not an issue of wifi because i don't ever use it. its always off. as i mentioned in my opening statements the APN fix DID NOT work. will be trying the ROM manager fix shortly.
edit. the fix in the mentioned link has nothing to do with the dinc. also the cited fix is not in the ROM manager downloads section.

the issue stems from backing up all data with titanium and restoring old information on a new ROM. i did a factory wipe and reflashed cyanogen 6.1 and everything works fine as long as i don't restore data.

MMS Blues....

Ok I have been having same issue with sending and receving Mms. Ive went from Rc1 to Rc2 to RC2+gm now I'm on Rsl1 stillsame problem. So I clicked on messsages then menu and go to settings. I look at the mms settings I notice my proxy and port fields are both blank. Can someone who can send and receive look on theirs and tell me if theirs is blank also? Maybe thats the problems.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Did you do a complete wipe before flashing the aforementioned roms? I, too, have RLS-1 flashed, but i can send and receive photos without any problems. As for the proxy settings, see the attached screenshots.
Posting & replying from my EVO 4G
Yes I did do a complete wipe. And my connection setting are the same as yours.

try downloading anycut from the market. once installed open it and select new shortcut...activity...find apns or apn and create a shortcut. once it says created go to your home screen and find it. it should say apns or apn. click it and you should see sprint with a circle next to it...click the circle so that it becomes selected. exit and try to send text. if it doesnt work reboot and try again. You can also edit it as well

Thanks! That worked for me but can you tell me why?
I don't know why it is. I am still learning myself. But for some reason in the kernel or Rom it doesn't activate it all of the time. I am looking forward to bubbys write up on making custom kernels in the developers section. Glad it worked for you. I don't know if there is a thank you button for me somewhere but if there is please tap it.
Didn't work for me. Thanks anyways. I think I'm just going to call sprint to get a new one.

Did an PRL and Profile update and I am back good as new. I had to do this when I first got teh phone because I could not send MMS. Afterwards, I flash roms and so on and just finally got to the flash I like and could not send.
Did the same PRL and Profile update and was able to send them again with ease.
Sprint picturemail has been down since last night

Nice! I just did the prl and profile update and sent it. Thanks man!
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
See my issue isn't that I can't receive the messages, it just says downloading and that is it. I haven't had any issues sending them at all like others. Any one else have issues not being able to receive messages?
Try opening messages hit settings and unselect auto retrieve. Now the next time you get a picture mail tap download and see if it downloads. Also try the prl update and profile update as well that was posted by someone earlier.

[Q] Can not send mms pictures

So I updated to jellybam 6.7 after having 6.5 already installed and now my mms will not send pictures. Text will send just fine. I tried to stop the program and clear data/cache, then I tried to reboot into recovery and fix permissions. Both did not work. It is on android 4.2.2 please help:crying:
I had what sounds to be the same issue when I had the original evo. No matter what rom I had flashed I could not send a picture message. I had even unrooted it and still couldn't send them. I downloaded go messenger or some other messenger and had no issue. I ended up taking it to the sprint store to get it checked. I found out something went bad and the phone could no longer send an mms with the stock messenger. They ended up replacing my phone. My suggestion is take it to a sprint store and have them check it. Your phone could be doing what my evo was doing.

MMS not working
Hi, I received my device a few weeks ago, direct from T-Mobile as a replacement, and immediately used the motochopper method on my mac to gain root on my SIII with LTE. I am not running any custom roms. Yet I cannot send a MMS message. It just spins forever; trying to send. I have verified that my micro SIM card works properly and my device has the correct APN settings according to T-Mobile USA (I have tried both fast.t-mobile.com and epc.tmobile.com without any luck). I have uninstalled AdAway and turned off CPU Tuner, LBE Privacy Guard, and Lookout. The only other rooted apps I have installed are BusyBox, SuperSU, Greenify, AutoKiller Memory Optimizer, Mobile ODIN, ROM Manager, SystemHelper, Titanium Backup, Delayed Lock, and Voodoo OTA RootKeeper. Is there an app that can assess my configurations to determine what is causing the MMS failure? I do not believe the device is faulty. I tried using Go SMS Pro and Handcent SMS with out any luck as well. Thanks in advance!
I would start over. Back up your important data and factory reset (you wont lose root). I have a feeling it may have something to do with one or more of the apps you just listed, like LBE, auto killer, etc or possibly a combination of them. Start completely clean and test if you can send/receive normally. If so, install one app at a time testing each one.
If it continues w/o any apps installed, then call T-Mobile and ask them to reset your account. See if they have any ideas if that doesnt work. Id also replace the sim at a T-Mobile store. Theyll swap for free if yours could be faulty.
