Hey you guys i need help. 6 out of 10 text or mms i send come up as failed. this problem never happened before. i factory reset the phone and everything. im using the stock messaging app as well. is anyone else having this problem with text and picture mail not sending on their epic?
You would better answers if you put this in the right section.

I thought this would be a good section being that it promotes android development if other people have the same issue... but thats just a thought.
Gotta ask these things in Q&A forum. This board is specifically for devs to post their roms, root methods, etc. things like that.
Oh, and it's probably your connection, but that's just my guess.

Why?
The correct way of working should be that the MMS connection starts itself when an mms is leaving or arriving...
On CM6 and others 2.2 i tried i have to start everytime the mobila data.
Any way to change this? In the stock 2.1 it worked like i say...
Thanks!
Same thing on 1.2 floyo.
It is the wrong thread, probably will be moved to q&a

They work but you have to enable mobile data. For incoming MMS, my operator send an advice so i can activate it when it's needed.
Non so bad but hope it can be fixed...
Did anyone try this (i.e. cyanogenmod forums, xda forums, etc.)?
For example, I found this thread: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/3558-incoming-mms-resized-to-8kb-solved/
or the last post on this one (which is the same supposed solution if I am not mistaken):
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/2982-sending-mms-without-data-plan-possible/
Another thread I found on cyanogenmod forums, said that with ChompSMS it works fine (although with the builtin messaging it does not).
This appears to be a quite common problem, not specific to the hero, and I think that if someone seriously devouts some time and effort searching for a solution on the internet they will find it - hopefully they can also share it with the rest here.
Please note, that I can't do this, even if I wanted, since in every ROM I have tried I could never send/receive MMS and I don't have a data plan - my telephone company still thinks I have the same phone from 7 years ago....
I tried the solution linked by erasmux but nothing solved.
I tried all the user agent i have in the list... No mmswith stock app or handcent.
I have Solved this thing by using "Hisurfing". with "Hisurfing-APN Switcher widget" if u turn it off then only the APN for Internet goes off not the MMS APN. Secondly u must have enabled the Data.
I am currently using CM 6.1
Please post ur comments
Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone had any answers that could help me or point me to certain posts that I may have not seen. I have tried many Rome, including Jiminy and Z-mod, and can not get a full concrete ever for my questions. I have an Evo on Cricket, and I have problems that I have never been able to correct. I have full web, 3G...my calls always come through, but unless I am roaming, my phone can't dial out. It just says call ended after about a minute, unless I get into a roaming area, then dials right through, no problem. Also, I can't receive picture messages from others. I can send them, send them to myself, and receive multi-media messages, like the ones that are forwarded over and over again. So my question is, does anyone have any answers to these problems, or has no one ever fully had one working? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is it just me or is fully flashing the Samsung Epic 4G to MetroPCS the best kept secret?
I got my phone fully flashed today from some guy on Craigslist and it's literally mind-boggling that no one on the internet has toppled this "obstacle". Am I missing something? Is there a reason why legitimate information about flashing the Epic to Metro is so rare to find?
By the way, I've been viewing the settings for the last hour and literally everything I've seen on the internet was obsolete. MMSC URL, DSA Server, and even altering the proxy and port in the Advanced Wi-Fi Settings. There's not even a proxy or port displaying at all.
I'm still rooted but I was running EC05 (Official Froyo) with the SyndicateROM Frozen Rom but now that he reflashed it, I'm stuck with ECLAIR DG27... I'm not risking a manual update because I don't want to lose my MMS and Web functionality especially considering the fact that I had to pay smh.
If anyone needs my ##DATA# settings, let me know. Maybe, together, we can figure this thing out...
It's mostly because
1) Our phone isn't exactly popular on demand.
2) Our phone isn't appreciated for what it has.
3) The Dev's who had metro and this phone went poof.
4) The other 5 things I missed.
because metro pretty much sucks...
I always put geo engines in my lambos

Does the data work on this phone? Can you wireless teather? Can you browser the internet? Does mms work?
I haven't tried tethering but everything else works. I even tried out the GPS on my way home, works flawlessly.
No surprise the GPS works... That is a completely independent service. Transmitter and software.
You're right about the GPS. The internet works and mms also sends and receives. I'm sure we'll soon find a solution to this problem.
I wouldn't mind a guide. I hate sprint. Maybe you should check on the vibrant(or sorry whatever verizons galaxy s is)? Or if anybodys got it working for nexus s4g..
cd's or tapes?
Hmm... I'll look around.
There is a full guide in the dev section, it's buried deep so have to go buy lots of pages...

I said the same thing about Boost Mobile but WHATAYAKNOW. There's a tutorial for flashing. If you can't offer a solution, don't bother commenting.

I actually viewed that before but I was unsure if it would work for metro. Maybe by incorporating metro settings rather than the boost settings but I don't know.

So i need help with that.
Also it is going to be a blown step by step.

The post is up

I read somewhere that if someone were to let's say..do the whole "boost mobile incog" to "epic 4g" method they can get in trouble and even get their phone remotely deactivated because the network finds out they're using another phone from the use of android market and other apps the incognito doesn't have... is this true? or even worth asking about?
Note: Although an answer to this question may be directly related to esn modifications ***Please do not discuss meid/esn mods.. I know its looked down upon here in the forums (illegal).... Refrain from discussing how to do this type of mod or posting any links on how to while answering this hypothetical question.. I've just never heard of this actually happening to someone... thanks

Anyways, can any one help me. I updated to jelly bean OTA, and since then my LGOG does not like to send text messages out. My phone will not send messages shorter than 10-20 characters. Im in the CHICAGO area. No problem receiving them, just more often then not i get a failed sent. I have tried resetting the phone hard/soft. I took my phone into sprint and they said I need a new phone. Wtf! Anyone have this issue, or have any ideas to resolve this?
Im pretty disapointed right now, the phone was flawless before the update! Never had a single problem before. Thanks in advance.
UPDATE.. In conclusion,if anyone is interested, I believe the new jellybean update just doesn't play well with my towers in my area of Chicago. With the jelly bean update my voice signal was excellent, but the data signal was degraded. I always noticed, with ics while 4glte was connected, the voice signal was less. With jelly bean it seemed to be just the opposite at all times, great voice so so data connection. Only if i could have both and jellybean wtf?? Maybe someone could help me on here and explain a radio/jelly combo i would have best of both worlds.
Seems to be a Chicago issue.
**Either way I aquired LGNPST and original TOT file and reflashed the phone with original software and have not accepted the jellybean update for now.**
If you would like me to host the files needed PM me, I'll send you links.
I suposed I could have tried to reflash ZV9/ICS or ZV9 radios, but I bricked the phone before trying that.
I must have got the best phone out there. I've never had a problem with any software version we've had.

Rub it in why dont ya.... Well mine was the best android phone that i have owned. I never had a single issue before this.
I guess since i havent got any responses no one else has this issue. Is there anyway to reflash jellybean on my phone again?
Have you tried a ##72786# in the dialer? It will reprogram the phone. It won't erase anything.

I have not tried the ## but ill give it a shot. Sprint may have done that.
More on this issue, it seems just not to send short messages. Like lol, no, yes anything shorter than a sentence. I have noticed tht long texts send fine, and picture text seem lightning fast. Whch is great, but cant respond to someone with a simple yes or no. Wtf
I have also noticed a bigger delay between automatic switching between 3g and 4g. Before the update the switching was seamless.
I have also rooted and reflased the ota, same issue. I did not flash the radios seperate tho.
The ## did not fix my text issue. Sprint store did do this as well.
Still have this same issue anyone figure anything out? Anyone have anymore suggestions i can try? Sprint does something on their end, and restore the phone with ## and it works for an hour, then back to the same issue.
Peteyo, are you in Chicago? Maybe it's it's a network issue. I'm having the same problem and so is my buddy. I can't believe more people aren't coming forward with this if it's a national thing.
But let me know if you find a fix, and I'll do the same. And you're right, it only happens on short messages!
Im in Chicago and having the same issues, even with other messenger apps that use stock mms, I also use whats app and have no issues. They seem to be random some send and some don't. If there is a fix please post it is a pain .

***If you have this issue please call sprint, so they are aware of issue****
I have chalked it up to LG sucking! or I supose it could be sprint. The JB update they pushed changes the way the phone communicates with the towers. I grabbed bits and pieces from other threads with data problems and came to that conclusion. It doesn't appear to make issues with everyone, or have the same problems.
What i did, and what maybe the easiest is to reflash the phone back to its original form out of the box. Also im not accepting the ZVB/jelly bean update that messed up our phones. To return to original state, u must aquire LGSNPT, and Sprint`s original tot file. You can find these two in the developer sections. Its really easy and painless and get you right back where u need to be. The toughest part is putting your phone into download mode. vol+ vol- and power buttons.
Make sure u back up your pictures/things you may want to keep.
Option 2 you can **** around and try to find an ICS file, root your phone, and flash it back to ics. Or better yet root and flash ZV9 radios.
However im not sure if these will work. I have not been able to find ZV9 radios.
Option 3 if you have insurance get a new reman phone, or if no insurance pay sprint 50bucks for a reman phone. But you will still have the same issue if you update to ZVB/jellybean.
I wish I new more about this stuff and make a custom radio that has the voice improvements from ZVB/Jellybean, and the data from ICS/ZV9. Probably not even possible.

I'm in the Chicago area and noticed the same thing...
The strange part of all of this is that my text messages will always send if they are greater than about 10 to 20 characters. Anything smaller than that amount will give me a send failure. Has anyone else had that experience?
Data and Cell Reception have been stellar for myself since the update -- I believe I was having the texting issues before OTA (though I wasn't rooted at that point)
***If you have this issue please call sprint, so they are aware of issue****
That was my exact issue! I had to send complete sentences. WTF

Don't you feel a greater level of sophistication when you have to type an entire sentence?
I'm sure it's Sprint trying to cut down on their SMS costs, but I'm not a conspiracy theorist.
Funny! I guess I should have just added a bunch of quick messages that are complete sentences for a yes or no answers. And the lesser 4g reception does slow down my midget porn downloading. Maybe it really is a win win...

Yeah I have the same problem on my Lg Optimus. In Chicago Area on sprint too. My one friend has verizon and has a cheeper lg smart phone and has the same problem. I think it is something with LG. I should have bought the Galaxy.

It has not been fixed yet, and I'm starting to believe it may never unless people start complaining more. I strongly encourage people to call sprint support often regarding this, if you would like to see it fixed. I have opened a couple cases with Sprint business support (corporate account here). If more people raise a stink, they have to do something!
Will do. Thanks for the quick reply:thumbup:
