MMS Not Working on stock d118??? Solved!!! - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so, neither my phone or my dads phone will receive and download picture mail on 3g? We are on stock d118 noobnls kernal and it wont send or receive. Any ideas, im going to try flashing the d118 modem and see if that helps at all?

Found the problem apparently flashing deodexed themes on stock rom, leads to broken MMS. Guess ill have to look for an odex theme or whatever.

Updated: My mms broke again, just randomly? Could this be cause of poor 3g signal or is it have to do with my stock battery mod? it was working great yesterday after i took off my theme.. Any ideas??
Thanks
Edit Update!!: Turns out there is no working battery mod for stock odexed d118 roms?
If there is can anyone point me in the direction of a battery mod or theme that works with stock odexed please?
Thanks

Final update ok here is the verdict with any themes or battery mods on stock odexed d118 rom is that mms wont seem to work on 3g but will work through wifi.. I can't test 4g but I bet it works!
Any ideas why this decided to inky break mms messages on 3g?
Would greatly appreciate dome insight? Thanks

One thing to note, you cannot add most themes or a battery mod to am odex rom. You must be on a deodex rom. A battery mod or theme should not break any data be it txt or 3g. Themes arent applied to the radio. That being said on the Epic I get it random my mms just quits for a day. Every txt sent said failed BUT they actually send. And it takes hours to receive one. I'd lean towards it being on Sprints end and give it a day or two enough that sucks.

Thanks for this so mms is on sprint's side then I don't even get a do not sent msg it just sits in the msg with the envelope and the red timer and can't download any msgs I receive? Also when I was on stock totally it might of been a coincidence that sprint mms was working but seemed to work I do t know what's up with it

Im not promising you its sprint in your case just saying I deleted handcent off my phone thinking it messed everything up and the stock one was doing the same thing after. About a day and a half later they were working again. In about 6 months it happened 3 times that I remember. If its been this long re flash your rom

Problem Solved!!!
The problem was that i deleted either sprint android extension or sprint app updater and one of those broke my prl and profile and firmware updates. Now i have a theme on stock d118 mobile ap and mms working yay!!!

[Q] MMS Problem with Juggernaut

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1322642&highlight=sms
When using this rom i cant get pictures.. it says it failed to download attachment, ive tried this over wifi and 4g please help
Nevermind.
What?? So lost
You can't send or receive MMS through Wifi Calling. It is a bug on Juggernaut
Its not through wifi calling its just a normal picture message
Yea, but is wifi calling on?
I have about the same problem. I can send/receive Pics with my Data on but when I put on WiFi I can't send or receive pics.
This happens with Stock, CM7, GO Sms, Chomp, and Handcent, and yes I am making sure my WiFi calling is off. I have even tried going back to 3.7 and it does the same thing. Actually it does this with just about every Rom I have flashed.
This is my first android and smart phone and I would hate to have a bad experience my first time around lol.

I am NOT a troll. For those that know me, it's an inside joke by now. ONLY because you state you tried every ROM. Guarantee you, this works 100% of the Time. Use the Zombie Rom. Install per OP and then install Handcent. Trust me, Handcent with Zombie ROM and wifi calling ENABLED works!!!! Takes maybe 5 seconds to send a test 700Kb pix to yourself with Handcent. No other third party app works. Stock messageing app will work, but it compresses down to 25Kb on average.
Edit: That's 700Kb or so of the received size. I will typically use my own camera shots that are maybe 1.5MB to 3Mb sized. The final file received is in the multiple 100's KB size. And no video arrow looking file either with Handcent.
GO SMS Pro works for me but i keep wifi calling turned off as i have unlimited calling anyway. Decent cell coverage at the house but i use wifi for data at the house. to my knowledge MMS requires you to send over cell so it disconnects from the wifi to send then reconnects.

Zombie and Bombard are 2 I haven't tried yet.
Would be nice if anyone could post or send me PM with which ROMs will send MMS with WiFi on. I don't need to use WiFi calling since I have unlimited minutes so 2.3.5 ROMs will work too.
Also thanks the Zombie ROM will send MMS with WiFi calling enabled would you happen to know any Themes (Flashable) that work with Zombie 3.1? If so could you please send the link in a PM please.
No wifi calling is off... so what do i do.. and i tried handecent sms still does not work... maybe i should just go back to stock

I already stated an absolute bet my life and my first born guarantee that one ROM I know of will work and send MMS using WiFi calling enabled, and it DOES use wifi since an extremely large file that is compressed to around 750Kb in size will send successfully in around 3-5 seconds once you hit send. Yes it requi8res that said ROM. And yes, it absolutely requires Handcent. There are some themes becoming available or already are. Just look specifically in the themes threads. Please jsut look. No, I don't want to specifically name again here, since many users are convinced my sole purpose on XDA is to be a shill (poker term), aka Troll for said ROM. OK shoot,e. The ROM begins with the last letter of the Alphabet

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420441 is specific for Zombie. Just look at the themes threads here. Already tested an earlier version, of this them on an earlier Z ROM and it worked fine. Downloading now and will confirm in a few minutes.
Edit: Installed by simply flashing with NO wiping anything. Just boot to clockwork recovery and flash the zip. Here'sd a screen shot. Also playing with the DX Home launcher which I have installed here using the IPhone4s theme. Lots of themes, BTW...just playing around. If one is familiar with MIUI, it's extremely close to that look, BTW.
Edit 2: Forgot the 14 toggle dropdown in notification has quick boot feature. Have to delete the app here and place something else on my desktop

All of a sudden MMS will not download or send when wifi is on?! Wtf.

Hey folks. So, I was running Calkulins EL 29 2.9.2 Gingerbread ROM. I have never had any problems sending and receiving MMS when Wifi is on. However, all of a sudden, it now fails to download or send when WiFi is turned on. I have to shut off Wifi to receive or send. This is a major inconvenience as everyone knows the Epic 4G Touch can tend to have a lazy 3g radio and will give up on big MMS pictures too easily, unlike some other smartphones i have owned.
I have wiped, flashed other ROMS and am having the same issue. Please note I did NOTHING, just woke up one morning and it completely stopped working. I didn't mess with dialer codes, ect. Can anyone point me in the direction of what I need to do? Do I need to do some dialer data resets? I have tried ##3282# however cannot find an option to do a restore settings or anything like that like I could on my Evo 3D. Any help would be greatly appreciated..
Hey Paul. Gotta love Sprint .
I just had to do this because my phone calls kept going to voicemail. Reflash the modem and update your profile & prl. If that doesn't work, try reprovisioning the phone. I wrote this method up, follow it very closely... :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26131653&postcount=4244
I appreciate this info, but unfortunately it did not let me send MMS with Wifi on. I wonder if Sprint did something behind the scenes that I cannot do anything about..

Has anything changed with your wifi? Also, have you had an opportunity to try a different wifi connection yet?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Not that I am aware, just tried the open hotspot across the yard and still no go. I wasnt able to do the MSID walkthrough, I am using PhantomHackers ICS rom, the code just didnt do anything in the dialer, but ##72876# or whatever it was did work.
I thought you were still on GB . Since you just flashed the phone anyway, why not just one click back to stock rooted to see what happens. I'm running out of suggestions btw LOL.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Oh, I was on GB when I wrote the thread, then I flashed some ICS afterwords to see if a wipe to something new would make a difference.
Ok last thought, have you tried a different app like handscent or gosms yet?

Check out this page in this thread:

There are some suggestions there as well. I knew I had seen this but it's been a while since anyone has had this particular problem.
You are not alone my friend. Same annoying hiccup here. Mms send also acting shotty. Could be network. Not sure if sprints website/system going down earlier today has something to do with it. I went with my bro to local sprint store for upgrade earlier today, thats how I found out about sprints problems today.
Weird. It seems to be working again after like 200 reboots... That is, it's working on my stock rooted Photon. I'll check my wife's SGS2E4GT tomorrow AM and report back.
Something that strikes me as super weird: The proxy for MMS (##DATA#) is mms.sprintpcs.com. But it looks like Network Solutions has parked a temp site there as if the domain is expired. The whois looks fine. The port for the proxy is 80, the same as what my browser would try.
You guys arent alone....just happened to me to today...after 3 days of VERY weird/weak reception. My signal on EL29 modem would go up and down.. from full bars to absolutely NONE, and come back again. I dont know if its the freakin 'solar flares' that we have been experiencing.....cuz i remember sometime last year i had horrible reception when we had those solar flares again........
i'm having the same issues too but only noticed after flashing the wicked sensations & phantom ICS roms. reverted/restored back to calk's 2.9.1 el29 and it still doesn't work over wifi. i've tried rebooting & updating profile/prl with no luck. how do i fix this?
Same thing here and I changed nothing on my phone. Has to be a Sprint issue.

There are a bunch of reports of Sprint issues. I've had multiple denied sms and had to retry. My partner has a rooted Evo and he's having trouble placing phone calls. Someone else here reported a quirk in reported dns for the Sprint messaging server(s) and someone else reported using the SetDNS app to make changes and that seemed to improve their problem. Of course, the Sprint helpdesk is denying everything. Guess we'll have to wait it out.
This must be a Sprint issue for sure, mms is sending over wifi for me again.
mine still doesn't work of wifi

can receive MMS but not send

This started a while ago. Even using Handcent I can receive MMS but not send it out. It says that they have been sent but they never get received on the other end. It worked perfectly until I flashed to FC24, and I just installed CM9 thinking it would help but it didn't.
It's a SPH-D710 on Sprint network
I already tried deleting the telephony.db file clearing data/cache and rebooting. That didn't help. I found a BoostMobileMMSFix.zip but I'm assuming that won't work for me, even though they were describing the same problem. So I'm a at a loss. Any help would be awesome. I saw references to a ##DATA# method for this problem but couldn't actually find out how to implement it.
Thanks a lot
I can't imagine that I am the only person out there on the Sprint network that this has happened to. Hopefully someone will be able to shed some on the situation soon.
Question---- if I updated with the BoostMobileMMSFix.zip... would it do something horrible to my phone? Or would it simply not work? Is it worth trying?

Hi, a similar thing happened to me recently on my phone and it turned out that because it is a work phone they changed the settings for my phone to block outgoing mms. Is your phone a work phone? Have you tried restoring your nandroid backup (I assume you have one) of your original ROM and checking to see if it works on that? If it doesn't then its something on the carrier side of things :/
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
Well I don't think it's something on the carrier side of things, because it started happening IMMEDIATELY after I flashed out of my stock ROM. Unfortunately, I don't have a nandroid backup because when I started this endeavor I was such a NOOOB and I did it hastily.
Could this be an NVRAM issue? Would it be worth resetting that? If so, can you tell me how please?

So I just went all the way back to EK02 and still could not send MMS. After a few Sprint auto-updates I'm in ICS again with FH13. Still no MMS. I tried to update the APN settings (while I was still in CM9 before I flashed to EK02), but I don't think I did it right. I updated the settings to what I found here (http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-sup...86-fixed-sprint-mms-problem-apn-settings.html) but that did not help. Every time I saved it I went from having Sprint listed in the APN settings to having nothing. In other words, it disappeared. Currently thinking I will just stay here till I figure it out. Maybe call my carrier (which is actually CREDO, but it's on the Sprint network)... could be something on their end, right?

Good call on that one. I assumed since they're on the same network they'd use the same settings. They don't. But I still have a problem. I am on CM9, so I can't use a third party app to restore APNs.
I found CREDO's settings here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1824916
However, the list of parameters in the xml there does not match the settings I can modify in the APNs manually in CM9 (accessing it through Voice Dial). Is there another way to restore APNs in CM9? Or can I some how flash backward to Gingerbread, restore, and then flash back without changing the APNs?
Please help, I feel like I'm getting so close to figuring this out!
EDIT: brooksyx -- your link goes to the same post on a different site. i didn't see that before i found the one here. Thanks for searching for me!

thankss Bannjio for your reply. are u on boost mobile too? also are you using stock ICS FH13? cuz ill be honest i never tryed updating the profile or PRL to see if it fixed the problem. and now since i couldnt send MMS iam running the older gingerbread EL29 where my MMS works fine.. but if i can find a Fix for MMS to go back to FH13 ill be happy.cuz i do remember doing something like what you just told me but on my old EPc 4G . now since this a second generation of the Epic Touch i dont know if it is he same story. i just dont want to redo my phone again toFH13 and update the PRL or profile and endup with the same thing about no MMS again.. thanks
No problem, I can see not wanting to reflash only to have it not work. I am on sprint not boost mobile, and on a custom rom not stock fh13. However, the problem arose for me when I switched from an ics rom back to a gb rom. Mms didn't work on the gb rom until after I ran prl and profile update.
If you end up giving that a shot, be sure to let us know how it goes. Sorry I can't be of more direct help.

I also. Have been having the same problem but i flashed Mijjz blend fi25 rom n it worked but i noticed that it took awhile for the pictures to get thru.. Keep in mind that i was in a horrible 3g area n i didn't have acces to a wifi connection.. If any tries it n it works or not please post... Ill be trying it again in a better 3g area

4g not connecting anymore!

Titles says it all. I live in the baltimore MD area, and where i used to get 3-4 bars of 4g it wont connect to it anymore. I boot it up and it defaults to 3G. Ive tried playing with the mobile data settings and nothing has worked.
Does anyone have any ideas...because i use my phones data connection as home internet right now...

It just started today. Im on CM10 and i would occasionally lose a 4g connection and would have to swtich the mode from lte/whatever/whatever to the other mode...and then back to reconnect..but thats not working anymore....
Edit: This is killing me because I use it for home internet. Im paranoid simply because this is the first month ive used 4G ever...meaning i never even turned lte mode on in the mobile data settings..i didnt even know it was in my area until the beginning of this month.. Im just wondering if me toggling it on and off to get it to connect through CM10 caused this... Thats why im coming here..to smarter people then myself begging and pleaing for assistance and guidance.
Could it perhaps be that sprint was just testing my area for 4g?? OR how long does tower maintenance usually take.. Or that they cut me off from using 4g after using 30gb so far? I mean i have an unlimited plan so it shouldnt be an issue
No they didnt cut you off, they would send a letter before doing that
Second, it usually takes about 2-3 weeks for maintenance to complete on a tower. If you're really concerned, call Sprint and ask if they're in the process of upgrading towers in your area. Who knows, they might even give you some sort of "we're sorry for the inconvenience" credit

Im eyeballing this thread like a hawk for opinions and posts like this. Thanks for your input.
When I first used 4G It was actually by accident on the CM10.1 Nightly. I pressed the Mobile data toggle square in the settings and i saw 4g, I was thrilled that it was in my area. Switched back to stable CM10 and checked if it was up and running. and much to my surprise it wasnt some weird graphical error just showing the 4g icon. It was legit working.
Still isnt working on any rom ive flashed here. Now though since the issue began.
What are the chances in the short time ive used it, that i could have possibly damaged my phones abaility to connect to 4G? Sorry if that question is dumb.
Very little. I doubt that its a hardware issue, because if it were, you would see other things like core apps FCing, the other radios taking longer to connect, maybe even hot reboots when trying to turn on 4G
Like I said, when you have time call Sprint. Most likely the towers are being worked on and they turned it off meanwhile
You might wanna also wanna get Sensorly (from the Play Store) just to doublecheck for LTE in your area
Sent from my PG06100
When 4G lte came on in my area it was on for a couple of weeks then they shut it down for 4 or 5 days then it came on and it's been on for almost 3 months. Just fyi this might be what's going on.

I'm experiencing the similar issues, though I flashed over a ASOP Rom that has parts from cm10.1 though the Rom was ported from Verizon, but 4g worked perfectly fine, then when I flashed back to cm10 it stopped working. I'm debating on flashing back to that rom and see if it also does not have access to 4g at this time.
Edit/Update: I flashed back to my stock rom with root then flashed an updated MA6 Rom, updated the PRL, Profile and such, still no 4G. Decided that I'd mess with a few 4g settings, still problems. Then I flashed back to CM10 and my 4G works again.

Right before you posted your reply I had updated my post.
Update: I flashed back to my stock rom with root then flashed an updated MA6 Rom, updated the PRL, Profile and such, still no 4G. Decided that I'd mess with a few 4g settings, still problems. Then I flashed back to CM10 and my 4G works again.
I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1910947
odex MA6, MA6 firmware and Stock MA6 kernel
and I accessed the LTE Mode Menu from the following

I don't think the LTE Mode menu needs to be utlized but I did see some interesting settings in there.

Thats a bit of work, so this could possibly be some janky setting on my phone still huh?
EDIT: I dont have my stock rom backed up. Dont know what happened to it. Could you explain what exactly I need to do to achieve the results you have posted man?
Sorry for the late reply. It could possibly be a setting on your phone. I say make a backup of your rom, flash a stock based rom, kernel & firmware, if it's not ma6 find an update or one based on it. Update the prl and profile. See if you can get 4g working on tw, if not then either restore back to cm10 or try messing with the lte settings, their are some that allow you to enable or disable and such. I also do recall a setting for ehpd 4g or lte 4G. After messing with them try restoring back to cm10. If you take a picture of the lte menu I can look and tell you what settings I clicked.
Edit: Just looked at the link try the lte force cause I know I pushed that button as well as a few others.

I'm looking through the forums and so far the only stock with root only is what I linked above but those are mianly updates. One Possibility if its not a problem I'd sugged Unrooting with odin and flashing a stock rom, reroot then flash the update linked above, then just make a Backup Called Stock with root MA6 or something. I'll keep looking though.

Unrooted, stocked it up. 4g didnt work. Re rooted..installed cm10 stable 4g worked. Seems like a consistent fix for this bug. Solved.

I just had this issue after flashing that Rootbox ROM which was ported from Verizon. I performed the above steps and everything's working fine.
THANKS!

MMS issues on aosp roms

I know this isn't a specific rom issue because it's plagued me throughout my rom switching. I have the hardest time getting pictures! I'll get the notification, but when I touch it the message isn't in the conversation thread. Sometimes I'll get toast messages that says the message couldn't be downloaded, and sometimes I get them without a hitch! I can send messages about as often as I can receive them. I'm at a total loss here! I'm on the deviantxone rom right now, but like I said, this has happened on every aosp rom I've been on. Anyone else have these kinds of issues? Any solutions?
Speedtest results on a cell connection from the area you are trying to get the MMS from, and also which modem are you using?
It says I'm connected to 3G but I can't connect to speedtest...this is strange. I can't find my modem in about phone...
This is what I'm getting

Ya, bro you need to have a good cell connection, and make sure it is downloaded before you try to get to it, otherwise if it is still downloading while you try to view it, it'll fail and disappear.
Gray bars = no internet connection.

It's T999UVDLJA
Just flashing the newest modem

Thanks everyone! I downloaded a tmobile modem flasher aroma thing and I'm going to do some tests when I get a minute
No. That thing hasn't been updated in months. I wish people would remove links to their obsolete releases.
yea.. wouldn't recommend that Aroma modem flasher either. It's so freakin out of date not even LJA is listed as an option. I'd rather use a flashable zip if I were you.
