I am running cm7 final but I have been having the opposite problem, I can send but there are some I can't receive. When I have this issue the mms is usually coming from a person not on the Sprint network ...
If you're having issues sending/receiving mms, try the following.
Using adv launcher, create a shortcut to custom activity.
Specifically, settings/*apn*. I can't remember the exact name, but you'll have to navigate the list of junction points when you do the settings pull down.
Once created, go ahead and tap on the shortcut. You'll see 2 apn settings. One will have sprintpcs.com in the MMSC field, the other wont.
For the one that does not, scroll down to APN type. Change the parameter in that field to 'default' (small letters without the quotes).
For the other one, change it to 'mms'
Reboot. You should be good to go.

Read post 6321 and that will solve this MMS problem!
Not trying to sound like an ass and if I am then that's fine because I know I am BUT it took you longer to post your question on here then it would of taken you to search for it in the right place.
Why do people call a release that still has issues and needs special fixes, stable?

Well......is kind of like comparing peanuts to apples here BUT take Windows for example! Windows gets released right?! Well is suppose to be BUG FREE and completely sable correct? WELL it isn't! Not every rom on here is 100% BUG FREE and it needs updates/little things fix from time to time because not every phone acts the same way to every rom! CM7 works flawlessly on my phone but as you can see, dude has issues with his MMS! Not trying to start an argument or anything on here BUT don't act all high and mighty because you're using a sense rom where things happen to work a bit better!
It takes bigger balls to do something completely different like an AOSP rom then just play around with .PNGs and call it a ROM! I could take a sense rom and use it as a base and change a couple of things, add some wallpaper and upload it but am I going to?...NO!!...because that's just stupid!
I'm not acting all high and mighty. I just happen to be using a sense ROM now. I've ran CM, too. And Miui, et al.... Like I told someone yesterday, when I buy a new car, I don't need to add things to make the lights go on, or do some fanangling to make the wipers work. MMS is a basic feature of the phone. The basics, like GPS, etc, should work by default, not because you have to type some weird code into you dialer, oh, and do it on another type of mod first, then flash back to CM......

exactly! im not sure why cm7 was finaled, too many bugs yet compared to the deck rom or salvage-mod rom which both are 100% functional.
I'm not getting what you guys are saying about bugs. I have experienced none. Mms, GPS, wimax all work out the box.

I can't seem to send or receive MMS messages on my Gnex. I didn't try when on 4.0.1 so was it working then? I'm on o2 and there are no guides for APN setup yet. If yours is working could you post up the APN please?? It's odd because I have a sgs2 running ICS and its not working there as well...... Any ideas are welcome!!
anyone??
Tmobile much?

I had similar issues, turns out I had an extra (bogus) APN defined for MMS traffic, removing it helped instantly.
my MMS is broken too. Only works very rarely, and even then it's broken.
I contacted my carrier and explained it all and they said they'll send me a new SIM. Let's see what that'll do...
make sure wifi is off when trying to o send and receive. I'm sure there are probably apn issues too, but this has helped some people too.

Exact same issue for me despite many attempts to resolve it. I am on the giffgaff network and tried all the APNs with no success. It definitely appears to be an issue with ICS. As per the OPs post ideas, solutions would be welcome.

Thanks for the post.... I know most (like me) don't use mms much but I like to be able to get them from friends that are not quite "up with the times"...lol But like you said this seems to be more a issue with ICS than the actual APN... Help out guys if its working for you what rom & APN are you running?
It's definitely a problem with Android as a whole, since I had the same trouble on my HTC Desire all the way from stock to custom roms. Only some custom roms enabled MMS but I have no idea what the devs did to fix it. It's been an issue for me the past 2 years now. Has never worked properly since making the jump to smartphones. Even iphones have trouble with MMS apparently, so its not isolated to android either.
I doubt my new sim will make a difference, still waiting for it to arrive
i have no problem on my telco (Maxis) in Malaysia.. since i use
desire
incredible s
desire hd
evo 3d
galaxy nexus
all mms are working fine.. because my apn is already available with the android os.. no need to configure anything
my telco always send mms ads.. so when it comes to my gnex.. i just on my data.. then download the mms.. then the mms will load up n play well
Did anyone come up with a working solution for this issue? I've tried everything i could find in here:
Changing mms.apk, try with Handcent and GO SMS Pro. No luck.
I've checked my apn settings and checked them with the guide from my provider (Bibob - Denmark).
I get a message that I've got a new mms and when i push the download button it says "Currently unable to download. Please try again later."
I had the exact same problem with my Desire, but i gave up on trying to fix that... Could seem that i have to do that again with this new phone.
If someone could help i'm very interested in any suggestion.

Call your provider and ask about it. Maybe your subscription don't have mms activated?

I know it is... MMS is not an option here in DK, it's just there with every provider.
I've noticed a few questions about getting MMS working on sprint S3's that are flashed to cricket so I thought I'd post this to help out some.I am by now means an expert but I have flashed a lot of phones and through much trial and error found out what works.
TouchWiz bases ROM's
1st option is a paid solution so I won't post a link but you can PM me.
2nd option GoSMS which can be downloaded from google play install it, 1st go to setting>advanced>mms settings,check the box that says Fill apn configuration manually MMSC should be http://mms.mycricket.com/servlets/mms?x-cricket-mdn=xxx_xxx_xxxx x's being your phone number
2nd MMS Proxy should be wap.mycricket.com
3rd MMS Port should be 8080 after this it will work a lot of the guides i've seen will tell you proxy is mms.cricket.com i've never had that work.
3rd option follow this post step by step a liitle more involved but you can use stock messaging http://www.cricketusers.com/cdma-sa...-s3-mms-solution-confirmed-working-great.html
CM,AOSP and AOKP ROM's
1st and really only option you will need
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1649508 this solution was developed by Cornaljoe for the samsung epic however i have tested it on many phones and it has always worked well make sure to thank him for his hard work.
I hope this helps I have personally used all of these and they all work. any questions just ask and if anyone needs help flashing this phone to cricket just send me a PM and i'll be glad to help.
Note to mods I hope this is in the right place.

settings don't stick
I have tried all the Touch Wiz methods from the original post and they all get reset automatically back to stock Sprint settings.
I am using a Sprint S3 SPH-L710 on stock 4.1.2 rooted with clockwork mod recovery.
I flashed it to Cricket myself using the tutorial on Cricket Users forum. I really expected to find a solution there, but I see a couple of people with the same problem I am having. The reason I rooted it is because of the "confirmed working" solution over there, but it does the same thing and resets mms setting back to Sprint.
I know I am following all the directions to the letter, and like I said I have sent and received text pictures but then the settings revert back to Sprint.
This is extremely frustrating because I See others posting that it works and mine just keeps resetting.
What am I missing?
Or is there something in a phone released with 4.1.2 that is changing the settings?

Thank you for your reply.
I did try what you posted and it worked the same as before until the settings reset.
I believe I may have figured it out since you pointed me to the build.prop edit.
I found a couple of different posts here on xda and a couple of other forums for different device models that pointed me to which files to edit or delete. I have read so many different threads about this I am not sure exactly where I got which files that worked.
But in a nutshell, I had the wrong mnc in my apn.
I edited build.prop, apn, dss, & various other unrelated settings, slashing and burning whatever got in my path.
310016 was what worked for me if that helps anyone else, somehow I had it switched to 310090 in apns-conf.xml and build.prop still said 310120.
And for whatever reason, my alarm has not reset the notification melody again.
Wifi on, no settings reset. Sent and received with both GoSMS Pro and whichever mms.apk I switched in there. I'm really not sure where I got it, but it shows to be 624KB installed. I notice that all the ones I found are a little bit different size.
I am really liking this S3, it's a big improvement over my out-of-the-box stock ZTE Score.

ChompSMS doesnt have an option to edit APN settings in "Settings / SMS & MMS Network.." anymore.
In order to edit APN settings, try to send a failing pic, then long press on it, choose "APN Settings"

cricket messaging app not working right after 4.3 update on S3
Okay, seems like everyone is having problems with sending and/or receiving MMS on flashed (to Cricket) Sprint S3. Just recently, I purchased a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3. The guy flashed it to Cricket and when I got home, I noticed that I couldn't receive MMS. Instead of calling him back, I decided to find a fix myself to be able to receive MMS on the native messaging app. So this is what I did:
1.Dial ##3282# (this opens the Data Programming Menu)
2.Tap on "Edit" and enter your MSL Code (000000)
3.Go to "MMSC", then "MMSC URL"
4.Change the url to: (see attached image) and hit Okay to apply.
5.Go to MMSC Proxy and change that to "0.0.0.0"
6.Reboot phone and make sure you're connected to 3G.
7.Have someone send you a MMS and it should download and open, using the native messaging app, with no problem!!!
It worked for me and I haven't had a problem since I changed the MMSC URL and Proxy.
Have Fun Sending & Receiving MMS!!!!
someone could copy and paste their apn text in this thread that has Jellybread rom running on their EVO 4g on cricket or metropcs. I dont get how internet could work but not mms. Ive tried all sorts of apns from all sorts of cricket phones and this is the ONLY thing stopping this from being the absolute best mod ive found! so fast and stable!

Thank you so much! To make things even more confusing when I was using cyanogenmod 10 rom mms was working perfectly, however I found the rom to be buggy, VERY SLOW and all around confusing. So I figured if I used the apn-conf.xml from that and put it in jellybreads apn-conf.xml (despite cgm's being sprit) ot should work! No dice. Ill give yours a shot n let you know how it goes. Thanks again.

If that APN is what got you hot and bothered, lol, be certain to link back to it in other threads for other users to be able to configure their setup as well. I don't even use my Evo for anything more than a music player, so I could very well not be capable of much more here.

well that apn work specifically for jellybread. Ive been searching for as i said 3 days for a simple custom rom that was stable and fast and fully functional (Minus 4g :,-() . all of them seemed to have major flaws, slow and bloated, threw my phone in a loop, far too many options confusing me.
but for wimax I'm convinced that since I have 4g included in my plan for cricket if i could figure out the right settings in qpst I could get on 4g too. Id probably get a heart attack though from excitement. Ive seen youtube videos for it but i could only hope. ill try posting a new thread for that though.

The other cricket users of JellyBread and Kendallc123 herself may be as ecstatic as you if you can get 4g working with cricket, but you should link to this in the JellyBread thread so that the cricket users there see it. Also I'd thank user/dev Wambo_Bomb, since he is the one who left me that APN when he gave me his old Evo.
i spoke too soon. my phone said the message was sent, which before it wasn't even doing that but they aren't getting the pictures on the receiving phone. back to trying out different roms :,-(
though i despise having 2 different numbers for messaging and despise having a app for text and another for mms i suppose i can just use my text free account from pinger for images and my phone for text. obnoxious but it is a work around i suppose.

Cricket 4g will never work on the og. The reason is simple cricket 4g is lte while the og is wimax. Now as far as mms that will work but you have to make changes to the apn. I have attached one that I know works but you will have to edit the username in the apn. Unlike most carriers each cricket user has a unique user name. It is your phone number here is an example ( [email protected]). Easiest way way to do this is get apn backup and restore from playstore. Backup your current apn and then copy this one into the apnbackup folder that was created and edit the username. Turn on airplane mode delete apn then restore the cricket_sprint.XML file. Reboot phone and turn off airplane mode.
As long as your settings are correct in qpst then this will get your mms working. If you need further help feel free to pm me.

thank you for the link ill give it a shot. as i said before I've tried MANY apn settings so i do know how to do it. every apn ive tried for cricket or metropcs though has had different numbers in the other lines. (NOT the MDN line, i know you have to put your number in the mdn line) My settings in qpst have to be correct or internet wouldn't be working as well, because as I said the cryogenmod 10 rom was the only rom that mms, (and everything eles worked) for even though the apn was set to sprit. (makes no sense to me but it worked) But the rom was pretty much unusable on my phone with how much battery it drained, (2 and a half hours and the batter was gone) how slow it was, (cpu usage was constantly at 998mhz) and the rom was all around confusing for someone SOMEWHAT new to this stuff with too many options i didn't understand.
I think its something other than apn settings because the cryogenmod rom worked for mms and internet though the apn was set to sprint. all other roms ive tried has had either sms not working and/or mms not working and/or phone not working and/or contact lists not working something for the basic phone functions causes force close errors with all other mods.
once again it didn't work. the pictures say sent but are not being recived by the person im sending them too. SMS that are too long and converted to MMS come arcoss as code to the person they are sent too. I dont understand why one rom with sprint apn settings would work but this one wont. is it possible for roms to change qpst settings? i cant tell anymore though as i cant enter diagnostic mode.

BTW i switched back to the stock htc sense rom.
I installed SHOstock3 ROM onto my I777 yesterday. After messing around with my phone, I found a few errors but the most pressing is no mobile data. My plan was through AT&T but now its through NET10. I entered in a new APN with NET10s settins (tfdata) but no dice. I have read on this forum that I might have to delete the 3 AT&T APNs that are listed but I cant delete them.
I triple checked my APN settings for NET10 but still no dice. Must I flash the modem?
Thanks.
do you have cell service at all

What is hard to understand? I didnt say anything about making/receiving calls because that works just fine. So does SMSing.

My phone can do the following:
Make calls
Receive calls*
Sent SMSs
Receive SMSs
Connect to wifi
My phone cannot do:
Connect to mobile data. Full signal, correct APN settings through NET10
* I have recieved any calls since I flashed my phone but since I can call out, I assume I can receive.

You're crappy reply back is probably a major factor in the lack of assistance.
Have you tried any of the settings in this forum?

Setup #1 seems to work for some, with APN listed as blank.

None of the OP settings work but the post towards the bottom of the page does.
Screw this stupid forum rule. I tried to list all of the settings that worked for me but the rule that says I cant post link until I have 10 or more posts wont let me. Sorry, I tried to list something here that would be helpfull but the help included links that I cannot post.
I had an APN setup that was close to that but I didnt have any proxies in. My OEM ROM didnt need them but I see that this custom ROM does. I need to do more testing but the quick test that I did showed 3G and H+. OEM ROM showed 4G all the time from what I can remember. Thank you!

Orginal question has been answered (THANKS!) but just like before, MMS messaging does not work. Time for a new thread (once I get 10 or more posts)

So SMS works but not MMS ? With stock messaging app or third party from the ROM?

I believe when sms is converted to mms, it then runs off the data line. I dunno what to tell this guy. If he says he checked his settings and they are okay then I dunno. Double check with net10, if not then just sick it up and move over to metro or redpocket, maybe another mvno.
He shouldn't get all prissy over forum rules. We're all dealt with it. Keeps the people asking for a hand out away.

I do know if he opens ANOTHER thread I'll be the first one to hit the report button. Rules are here to prevent chaos.

Sounds easy to me, find the right MMS proxy. I looked at the link I gave him for possibles, no fricking clue which one he referencing as soft of working.
I saw four different ones.

Stock messaging works (SMS) but if I try to send an MMS with the stock messaging program, it never goes through. I have never tried another program. I had hangout for a while but I got rid of it.

But web surfing works ???
You most likely need to find the right MMS proxy server and it's port. Most likely it's 80, I haven't seen one that's been 8080 in a while.
Is mms one if the things in the "apn type" field?

As soon as I get the privilege to post links, I will post what worked for me. The info I used is not in the OP of that thread, its towards the bottom of the page and was posted by someone other than the OP. The post has a lot of thanks for it was well.

What the hell try adding these...
MMS Proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS Port: 80
And like mindmajick asked, is there anything in your APN TYPE? Most of the examples I see for NET10 say leave it as not set.

I set the MMS proxy as you said but still no dice. APN TYPE was MMS but is now blank. Still nothing.
When you flashed your custom ROM, you may have nuked your APN settings!
As the title says, I think your problem may be related to custom ROMs wiping out APN settings that may have come from the store (or put in by Net10 upon activation/initialization of the phone), and if that's the case, I think I can help you!
I've just gotten done activating (read: porting), configuring, flashing with custom ROMs, and setting up APN settings on 4 unlocked phones that we brought to Net10 (on AT&T's network, via the BYOP program, since these are unlocked GSM/WCDMA phones), I believe I can assist you here.
Rather than trying random combinations of APN settings to try and find one that works, if you call Net10 Customer Support (877-836-2368), all you have to do (once you tell them your phone number/SIM serial number) is ask for someone who can assist you in updating the APN settings for unlocked phones.
You'll be transfered to a different section of Net10's/Tracfone's Technical Support, and whoever picks up will likely tell you they can assist you once you repeat what it is you need help with. They'll tell you the usuals (make sure WiFi, Bluetooth, and Airplane Mode are off, and make sure Cellular Data is enabled, but not Cellular Roaming Data), and then they'll tell you to go down into your SIM/Mobile Network settings screen, and create a New APN. They'll read off the settings they should have, and they they will (or if they don't, you should ask them to "resend the switch and update the settings on their end" in those _exact_ terms, as they've cut the times for this from 3 hours to less than 30 minutes per phone for me).
Then they'll tell you to select the new APN settings, and reboot the phone (or turn it off and back on if your ROM doesn't have a reboot option); they'll have you attempt to open a browser and pull a page down (I highly suggest a mobile site of some sort, being that they're the lightest; it'll either work here or not, there is no "to what degree does it work"). If it doesn't work, they'll give you different settings (though it's not taken more than two APN setting tries for me, and that's mainly because of the area I live in), and then try the browser again. Once the browser is able to pull a mobile site, they'll ask you to try sending a picture message (again, I reccommend a small picture, as it either works or doesn't, so the size will only hold you up longer the bigger it is), even if it's just to yourself.
I've found that if you're simply respectful and paitent with them (as they sometimes have to spend 10 minutes putting various bits of data into other spots on their computers), they will be able to get it done for you within half an hour per phone.
I would highly reccommend that you don't mention your custom ROM however; so long as it doesn't interfere with the APN settings they will never know any better when you tell them you just have a "Samsung Galaxy Note II", and they'll be none the wiser as they fix it for you (because it realistically makes no difference in a problem like this).
If you mention it however, they won't want to help, because they don't know anything about custom ROMs (it seems they're all very terrified of them, and believe they are the spawn of Pewdiepie and Justain Beiber or something similar! XD)
Hoping I've been able to help you here, since I've extremely recent knowledge/experiences to do with the APN settings myself! (Also post whoring as I apparently need 10 before I can let the developers of my custom ROM know about some bugs I've found, go figure!)
If I'm incorrect on the issue, then I'm terribly sorry, and please feel free to ignore me -- I do not claim to be affialiated with Net10, Samsung, whatever ROM you have/whoever wrote/maintains it, etc., and am only trying to be helpful where your problem sounds like something I've dealt with before.
EDIT: I just realized I left out the most important bit! The entire reason for calling them instead of working through all the various permutations of APN setting combos is because your APN settings will be based on [A] your SIM, your phone (NOT ROM, just the phone's IMEI pairing to the SIMs), and [C] your home area/location you use the phone most often.
