Does anyone know where the APN file is located? I mean the exact folder structure?
I have looked for it and can not find it. I am looking for it because I can not receive MMS or send MMS - it just acts like it is sending forever or downloading forever.
I have looked EVERYWHERE on these forums for the answer and I must be an idiot - because I can't find any info to help.
Here is what I am currently running....
Android Version: 2.2
Baseband Version: 2.15.00.09.01
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.17-gee557fdhtc-kernelatand18-2 #15
Build Number: Fresh Evo 3.5.0.1 by flipz
Software Number: 3.70.651.1
Browser Version: WebKit 3.1
PRI Version: 1.40_003
PRL Version: 60677
I really like the phone is working with this ROM - and I really don't want to reset it back to the factory settings....
Any info will be greatly appreciated!
try the free program "APN backup and restore"
You can dump your APNs to an xml file, check them out and modify them if necessary, and then reload them back into the phone easily
theres probly something wrong with the rom..or kernel havin the same issue with mikgin but hes fixin it also your pri maybe update it to at least 1.77? thoughts..never used fresh havent seen to many ppl that like it

HTC Evo 4G only receives MMS messages after i first restart it. So every time i get a new MMS i have to restart the phone. I just rooted it and flashed the Energy room. any suggestions, thanks
Well, what ROM are you running and what msg app? Have you taken the simple way out and tried using GO SMS? I'm not a big fan of this app but mostly if the ROMs local msg isn't receiving MMS, this will...

I used GO SMS but its the ROM itself. I checked another website and alot of people were complaining about it. Its the Energy ROM

Ahhh....OK OK....unfortunately I can confirm that I ran Energy as well about a month ago and I too had mms issues then. But that is not a reflection on the current version. Have you tried pulling a msg.apk out of another sense based rom? Try pulling it from Nitrous, I know that mms works on that.

Can't send or receive MMS on Sprint! Help!
I need some help here folks. So I had a lapse in thinking one day and "nearly" acceptance an OTA. I accidently clicked accept and immediately stopped it (shut off my phone etc). Well apparently it downloaded far enough to where the next time I reset my phone it installed it automatically. It didn't even tell me it was installing it just told me my phone had been updated. Now I need help. First here is the info on my phone...
Sprint Evo 4G running Ginger Bread (2.3.5), Kernel - 2.6.35.10-g4b48446. My phone is rooted, but I still have the stock ROM.
So my phone updated the software to the newest version 4.67.651.3. I know at the beginning of this thread there is an alert message about not downloading it (as with any OTA's on a rooted phone), but it did and now I'm here.
So my problem is that now I cannot send or receive MMS. It sits there acting like it's trying to send without ever sending it. Is it possible to revert back to an older software version (assuming this is what broke the MMS in the first place)? Help from any of you would be GREATLY appreciated!
I have the same problem running miui
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

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.

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.

Provider: Sprint

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!
Update:
This fixed my problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1794956
I was playing around with the nightly build of CM10.1, and my radio stopped working. I flashed what I thought was the stock ROM back with Odin, but then I started receiving an, "Insert SIM Card" message whenever I tried to enable Mobile Data. So I flashed another one I found online. Still, with no luck (though the error was gone), I tried some radios. A dozen radios later, and I can get 3G data -- but still no calls or texts. I've been updating the PRL non-stop, still no luck (except when I'm roaming.)
I'm guessing the problem has to do with the many many files I have in /system/etc/firmware
Is there anyway I can get my radio back to stock?
Thanks!
you need a full odin flash with repartition. do not do this till you know for sure you have the right files to use. you can screw **** up with odin pretty damn quick. lemme search and ill see if i can find the right stuff for you.
EDIT:
I am downloading the files you will need to flash in odin. I want to see that they are indeed the correct ones for you to use. If you need help i can remote connect to your pc and help you out.
22 mins left on the DL and then ill be back

first rule of posting on any forum, "no question is dumb"
Rule number 2 " always ask if there is something you need fixed or need help with"
dont worry youre not dumb. though i may not be able to help you, the person above me hopefully will.
Quick answer from my own findings, the original stock ROM had a bug that doesn't allow it to see the SIM properly, but if you patch it (settings, update - or something like that), it will fix it (there will likely be a few rounds of updates).

The ROMs at Sumsung-Updates.com seem to be trustworthy. Are they?
Anyway, I finally got the issued resolved. It wasn't a radio problem that was blocking me, it was a badly linked Google Voice account. Sprint killed it, and now everything's OK (though I signed up again ^_^)

I had the same problem with the sim card thing...linked it to my wifi and it downloaded like 15 updates and then finally started working normally...probably incorrect stock rom or seriously old...got the one from samsung-updates and that works flawlessly
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!
Hi. I am hoping that someone is able to help me with this situation.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 d710 from Virgin Mobile, and I flashed it with all the info from my old sprint phone to use on Ting. I finally (after 15+ hours -_-) got it to work on Ting acting as my old crappy phone. I had flash back to a sprint rom because I could not connect with a modem connection (for dfs cdma tool thing) on cyanogenmod. After I got it to work, I promptly flashed back to cyanogen and pulled from a backup that I had made earlier. Boom. It seems like all the crucial pieces needed to make my phone connect to the network were erased.
Then I decided to flash back to the sprint rom. After spending another few hours (I kept having small problems and ended up calling technical support for some stuff) I got it working again. It is nice, I can text and call perfectly fine (haven't been able to try data yet) but I hate the stock roms with a passion. I NEED cyanogenmod back.
If anyone knows how to flash back without disrupting my frankenphone service, please help! Or, if you have info on how to fix it once it is flashed, that would also be sweet. Any help is veeeeeeery much appreciated!
Thanks,
Josh
Alright, well it looks like I found a fix. I had to completely wipe the phone and do a fresh start on cyanogenmod. It seems to be the only way to do it :/
