[Q] MMS in gingerbread not working. - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've tried both Oxygen and Gingervillian with the same problem, no MMS. Internet works on cell network and MMS works fine on Leedroid. Any ideas?

check ur apn's (access point names)

I found this too, with both of those ROMs, and redux, and ultimate droid as well so I was beginning to think it was a gingerbread thing in general,
but I've had it working on all of these ROMs since then.
Presuming you do have the correct APN, read on. . .
I didn't have to do anything to make it work, it just seems to need a stronger signal then 2.2 so as long as I'm in part of the house where I know the signal is good, it will work.
I'd say 1 bar = no chance
2 bars = you may be lucky
3 bars = likely to work
4 bars = fine
Also, be patient. With all of these ROMs, every time I try to send an MMS, my data connection completely disappears - without exception.
If you hang on though, it will come back, sometimes it takes a minute or maybe a little more, then the MMS will send 30-60 secs after that.
Its not ideal, but it does work.

As far as I can tell the APN is correct. And like I said, internet works.

All Gingerbread roms are in RC and arn't properly stable yet so there is bound to be some bugs and stuff. Try CM7 cause for me, that actually seems to be the most stable Gingerbread rom there is and it actually works.

Trying the latest cyanogemod rom now. Not working either.

Hey here's something interesting. In Leedroid the only way I can send mms is with the stick messenger. If I try with handscent it won't work. Any thoughts?

To be honest, despite my earlier comments about slow MMS on Gingerbread ROMs, I never had any problem when using Leedroid.
What network are you with?
I'm with Orange UK

I'm on Orange PL. I discovered that if I change the file limit to 100K in Handscent on LeeDroid, then it works. Still can't get Gingerbread roms to work. The only difference I can find is that LeeDroid has an extra option in MMS settings allowing for a MMS protocol that's suppose to be set to WAP 2.0. Gingerbread is missing this option.
Something else to remember:
HTC Sense's messenger compresses the crap out of MMS images. Typically images i send are under 50KB, while with Default gingerbread messenger it'll try to send files at the default max of 300KB, which is why it takes longer to send. For me though, sending an MMS image just spins and spins. I've left it for more then 10 minutes with no results, not even an error.

Man, that sucks.
I never had to change any of the settings in any ROM for it to work.
Beamed from the depths of my mind, by telepathy.

Well after fiddling with it, I think I got an MMS to send. I had to delete and re-enter all of the apn settings, reboot the phone, then wait 15 minutes for the phone to decide to activate the data radio. Then when I chose to resend the picture, it went though.
Now I wonder what will happen when I re-enter the Internet APN...

It appears that when I add the internet apn, mms no longer works. Internet works fine. I was able to connect with H speeds, no problem just no mms. Once I deleted the internet apn, leaving the mms apn, rebooted then cycled the mobile data, mms came back on.
It's a very weird issue.

I am on the carrier Telus in Canada. My desire sends MMS as an unsupported type even with APN backup and restore. It just doesn't work without the MMS Protocol option.
Any luck?

I had the same problem on my HD2 and Gingerbread - Internet was ok , SMS too, but MMS could not be sent!
And: I got it running!!
You just have to clear the Data-Cache of the SMS/MMS-App:
Goto settings > applications > manage applications > all > SMS/MMS => 'clear Data' (if 'force stopping' is active please click on it first)

Hello
I had the same problem. On your apn settings, you have to put 2 setups, 1 for internet (default,suppl, mms) , and 1 for mms (mms). Delete all over apn settings, then it works.

MMS issues on non sense roms

Hi all,
Does anyone knows why on non Sense roms like CM, MIUI, and derivative of those ones. MMS doesn't want to download attachments?
I post it in dev section because there is a lot of complaints regarding mms download when I search in google but no real answer while it's system related...
I'm in Virgin Mobile France (Orange network)
APNs are set the same on all roms.
Data is active
wifi disabled
tried with stock app and with handcent
The problem occurs on other networks as I can read on the net...
On non Sense rom I can receive MMS notification but clicking on download launch it but come back the button while on Sense like Aurax the attachement is dowloaded.
It's not the first time at all but it really anoyng me as I would like to use CM or MIUI.
Thanks to all devs.
hi
i'm exactly in the same situation than you !
I tried resetting the APN and recreating the MMS by hand and noticed that the MMS protocol version (1.2 or 2.0) wasn't available on non sense roms.
Sending MMS is working fine...
Can't receive nothing though
It might be linked to that, i don't know...
I'm using Leedroid 2.2f
You should definitely check your settings. Also check if there are some alternate configs for your operator. I had a similar problem - mms notification received, but download just didn't work. So I went on and saw that there were 2 sets of settings for my operator, typed the other set and it worked fine.
Also it would be much more helpful to attach logcat logs from the time you press the download button

To be honest I don't really understand what you mean by different config and I d'ont know how to take logcats lol.
EDIT: As far as I know there is only one config for mms on orange network. I've tried to disable proxy server without success.
there is 2 apn configured on my phone
VM (virgin mobile) and MMS Orange (same network)
why is there a difference in the available APN settings between sense and non sense rom ?

because for DATA VM doesn't use the same (APN name and server value are different) but for MMS it's exactly the same.
apn
BTW what you've said is interesting because I use to have the choice to select VM during the initial startup on Sense Roms while I don't have it on other ones.
When I said difference between apn settings I meant that you dont get the MMS Protocol setting in the non sense rom, while you get it on stock roms
I just installed defrost 6e and still no luck ... how about you ?

Rom
I moved to j-style miui rom which is damn great... except that I don't have mms lol.
I've wrote a message to the developer. Let's see if he will try to find what happens.
Lol thats no luck again !
Can you check if you have the mms protocol option in the apn settings ? It's the onlu difference i noticed with sense rom..

I have found that Handcent will not download MMS Messages properly. If you go to the Stock Messaging App and download it through there it should work.
I have to do that on my Phone running CM6 Nightlies.

Thanks for sharing.
As I'm running MIUI, Ill try to take the mms.apk from Oxygen because finally I don't think that the issue is APN related as everyone seems using uge APN list from I don't know who ?)
some guys say that if you chance the SMS/MMS user agent to iphone or Blackberry it work better... i didn't try...
I'm not sure it comes from the MMS.apk because SMS app in oxygen is skinned in white an di wanted it in black so I replaced it with the one from defrost 6d and everything still works
mmm that's all so weird !

The thing is that I can't find that parameter any more in AOSP nor in handcent and it's not present in MIUI roms...
Did you go to the SMS/MMS > Settings > User agent ?
quick info : in the latest rc2 cyanogen mod they cleaned up the APN list and it solves the MMS issues for me
by the way the latest cynogen is just brilliant !!

I have missed something somewhere
I have an HTC Desire from a local CDMA carrier Carolina West, that MMS is not working properly. I do have the latest nightly for the bravoc cymod and everything is working except mms. The funny thing is, everyone keeps telling me about these mms settings and I get it but I don't get where to go and find these settings to change them at all. It seems for most people you just go to settings-wireless and networks-mobile networks and then click on apn, but mine doesn't have that apn setting button! Can anyone tell me what to do or point me in the right direction

[Q] Help! No mobile data after Starburst rom and data2sd. Network is fine.

Please help if you can!
I've been running a rooted HTC Desire for a couple months now without problem, but once I ran into the lack of internal memory, I flashed the Starburst ROM to get data2sd to work. This is my first experience with a different rom on the Desire, after never having problems on the Droid or Dinc.
I partitioned successfully, flashed successfully, and began starting up a "new phone". I hesitated to restore my backups, because the phone was cluttered and I wanted to start over and see the results before putting everything back on. I was at home, using Wifi to get everything loaded quickly.
Only when I left the house did I realize that I had no 3g or H signal, I had no data connection. I can make calls, and the network shows up correctly, SK Telecom, but it never connects for data.
Is this something that I should have restored from a backup, or some setting I need to change after flashing a rom? I'm not a total noob, but I don't know my way around radio stuff at all!
Please please help!!
Did you disabeled data and reabeled it?
Did you check the apn settings?
Have you rebooted?
Did you do a full wipe when changing rom?

Yes to all of the above. Under APN, there is nothing. I just woke up the next day and still nothing.
Just realized it's not S-Off, does that matter?
No you don't need to be S-off, but you do need the correct apn settings for data to work.

Got the APN from the provider, web.sktelecom.com, and it worked fine for a few hours.
Then everything started force closing and restarting, and the sync logo was on almost constantly, whenever any internet connection (3G or Wifi) was present. When I disable all connections, it's stable, but it went loony tunes as soon as it had a connection... Every app I started, Handcent, Talk, etc, would restart itself after 10 seconds.
I may have overstepped my bounds... is there a safer way to improve internal memory without this ROM?
Not sure if you found the answer for your problem yet, or maybe just gave up. I came across your post while looking for the solution to the same problem. I'm also using a Desire on SKT and just flashed ReflexTSenseHD 1.8. It turned out you need to enter more than just web.sktelecom.com. I found a Korean sight with the rest of the variables and now it works for me just fine. Hope it helps

[Q] ICS MMS Orange UK

Hi all
Hopefully someone on here can help me or point me in the right direction. I have installed LC ICS Rom but am having trouble with sending/receiving MMS. It stays sending and will never actually send the message.
I have tried to delete the APN's and recreating them from scratch using the settings from GB, from the Orange website and from website online offering APN settings. Nothing works.
Is there anyone using ICS on Orange UK that can send/receive MMS and what did you do to get it to work...
THANKS!

I have read the OP but people do have it working. Someone has actually responded saying they are also on Orange in the UK and they have it working so I think I'm entitled to ask how people have got it to work.
Thank you for the post though, extremely helpful.

Turns out that I can send/receive MMS when I am connected to my Wi-Fi but as soon as I disable it, it then go back to staying stuck on the sending screen. Strange that it is working through Wi-Fi only.
When you say it's working, are you connected to Wi-Fi or does it work through your phones data connection?

Cannot receive SMS after Flashing ROM

Running HTC Wildfire S (marvelc) on Virgin Mobile network.
so I flashed a rom (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633198 ). Almost a perfect ROM. Only CM9 I've seen that has both camera and bluetooth functional. Since then I have not been able to receive any SMS. I can send them just fine, just not receive. I think I've narrowed down the problem: my MIN is different from my phone number.
Only problem is, ##847446 doesnt work for the maintenance code any more to set that right. I dont think I had this problem when I flashed a custom ROM and didn't wipe my dalvik cache. I DO still have a backup of my stock (but rooted) image I can restore with CWM to see if I can get my texting back, but it seems like a lotta hassle to reflash, reset MIN, flash back to CM9 without wiping dalvik (especially since my backed up ROM is on my WHS which currently has RAID drives ripped out so I can configure an Ubuntu server).
Is there any way I can access the maintenance menu of my phone without reflashing back to stock? I would post in the developer thread, but apparently, Im too new :silly:
btw, thanks to any answers you can give!
ok, after restoring back to my stock backup, i can receive texts. I'm fairly certain it's the image... but I cant post in the dev forum because I dont have enough posts up. Anybody care to shed some light on the subject? preferably modpunk, since this is his ROM, but I'll take any I can get.
I had the same problem when i was running alpha 6. No problems in alpha 7, though.

Alpha 7 is giving me the problem... as well, just realized on my lock screen it says "Roaming Indicator On". I do have my sms set up to autoretrieve while roaming, but the R symbol above the signal on top is missing and inside my about phone -> Status, under Network it says Roaming Indicator On and under Roaming it says Not Roaming.
really wish i could get this fixed... i dont want to go back to stock rom, but i needs my texts...
Roaming is always on in alpha 7. If u want data u have to enable data while roaming. As for the texts, what fixed it for me was to reflash it. Then it worked perfectly fine.
If it is mms, or bigger than 3 messages and converting to mms, then that would be why. Mms isnt supported yet on marvelc.
Sent from my HTC_A510c using xda premium
I have mine set not to convert X amount of SMS to MMS and to auto retrieve even when roaming. i've flashed to this rom (and a couple others) about 10 times in the past week.
maybe you have frozen the mms.apk
I know on vm, even though they say unlimited, they sometimes email you if you go over 3000 texts(not usually). Otherwise, i would try flashing stock ROM and see if the problem persists.

mobile network problem with (leak) 3.6 ICS

key issue: overseas mobile network carrier VS verizon...
I have tried at least 4 or 5 versions of ICS, still don't know how to get mobile data working, the newest version I tried was "(Rom)(Leak) 7.01.605.01 Verizon Vivow Ics Sense 3.6 *8.21.12" , just like AOKP and MIUI, everything else works fine (wifi, camera, video etc) except mobile data. And unlike CM 7.1 7.2 which has android 2.3.*, I can't even see the "APN" or "Preferred networks" option under Networks category.
So I googled a lot of different ways but nothing really worked. I have edited the "build.prop" file, "spns.xml" to edit the operator code from verizon to my own carrier, also tried using 3rd party software to autoset apn, normally these steps would succeed in CM7.* , but no luck in ICS....
Does anybody know how to solve the problem or experience the same here?
I think I read that, starting with ICS, 3rd party apps cannot modify APNs so that is probably part of why you are having trouble. Try downloading APN Settings Shortcut from the the Play Store. Its a widget that is just a shortcut to the APN settings on your phone. That might allow you to make the changes you need. Sorry I can't be of any more help. I have no experience using phones on other networks, I only know as much as I do because of having to fix APNs to get MMS working on certain roms.
did you flash the firmware (radio) update with that leak ROM? I have had no issues with 3g or WIFI on any other roms before the leak, and the issue with that one is easily overcome with a couple toggle flips. Just the noob's first thought.
Also...seems stupid to repeat, but....make sure the back cover is on, all the way.
yeah u right, unless 3 party apn tool has been added to part of the system, i finally got it to work after re-editing the 2 files above and a couple of reboots...
Sent from my ADR6350 using xda app-developers app
Glad you got it working. That makes sense considering I often have to enter apn settings 2 or more times for them to work.
