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.

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.

just got my tilt 2 and immediately flashed to a new rom (erasers latest HTC rom) and the text messaging would not work at all. wasn't sure if it was a rom issue but I loaded energys pheonix 2 on there (standard version) and the same problem. what should I do next? mess with the connection settings or load a new radio or a new rom or what?
thanks in advance, I am a huge noob but I am loving the phone so far (besides this minor hiccup)
bump for some help... someone give me some advice before I start throwing new radios on here!
Bump in the house
Tilt 2 means you are in the US?
I got kind of similar problem - I can't send messages to contacts. If I enter the number instead of picking the contact it works fine AND if I enter a number wich is stored as a contact it displays the name in the "to" field... Quite strange.
I got all my contacts in Outlook International format (that means +49 (0123) 123456789). I guess it's about that. On EPS Advanced ROM it was possible to edit the number after picking a contact (delete the 0 from (0123)) and it worked. This is no longer possible with Energy Leo ROM and now DeepShining ROM.
How are your contacts saved? Maybe you have the same problem (but that doesn't explain why you can't receive messages...). You might try Josh's ROM for example, it contains the correct Radio!

what should I do? return the phone?? install the stock rom and take it to ATT? this is starting to suck since I have had it since Friday and it hasnt worked.
yeah take it back and tell them it isnt working. Get a new phone. Might be a hardware issue.
sorry guys, turns out it was an issue with ATT. went to the store and resolved it and now I am loving the phone. thanks for the help though, I have been worrying about this for the last 4 days, good to have it resolved.

All our technical advice couldn't have helped this issues as it was a background service glitch......Good to hear it's all settled...
I cleared out all my sms/mms messages and I still have the icon saying I have one new txt, when I go to the inbox I see no new messages but it still won't clear, any suggestions?
I saw this thread after almost starting one similar. Im currently on Simplicity and cant send or receive mms messages either, but it works fine with the stock att rom. Wat do i need to do to get it to work on simplicity?
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
First let me apologize for making this longer then maybe need be. However I want to make sure I point out everything that I think matters. Okay here it goes...
I cannot receive text messages. I can send them, however. Now, I run Cyan, the newest version (6.1 Stable). I have the newest everything.. Radios, Wimax, I mean everything. If I use Nandroid and revert it back to a state a week ago, my texts still will not work, even though it was working at that point in time I made the back-up. I mean I've uninstalled, re-installed, re-applied, re-flashed, re-EVERYTHING and nothing works. The internet, phone calls, any other software, works perfectly fine. I just cannot receive texts and I hope someone can help me out. Even if you think it may not work, I will try it. I thank anyway willing to read this, and trust me I'll check this all the time to see if anyone has a suggestion.
Are you using the stock messaging app? Or are you using something like Handcent? How are you trouble shooting this, are you sending yourself text messages and they aren't coming through? Have you posted on the Cyan thread to see if there are similar problems?
I am not sure what it is or what it could be. are you checking the stock message app and making sure they are there and just not showing up in a 3rd party messaging app?

I am using both. Well first I tried Handcent (since that's what I had installed), but then when I flashed to a brand new ROM, all I had was stock, and that still didn't work. Also yes I checked their forums and kids had problems with texting, but unlike mine. Also they had different phones. Anywho, I am testing this with 3 of my friends, and sending myself (if I think I'm doing something different) with AIM or my mother's phone. I don't know man, I just, don't, know. It's really irritating me though. Thank you though for reading all that and trying to help, it is a mystery.

Go back into recovery, wipe the cache and dalvik at least twice each and reboot. After you've rebooted, update your profile in the settings menu. That *should* help you out.

Hey buddy, I wiped the cache about 5 times in a row, (Juuuust incase, also the dalvik) I've now tried switching back to older radios and older everything. But I can't seem to install ANY sense roms for some reason now. What the heck is going on all of a sudden? Like Fresh, Ava, Re-Engineer, and nothing.
Also, I went here..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=791019
But when my phone boots up, it'll check the .Zip, stop half way, and restart in an endless loop.. So it's like I'm stuck on Cyanogen, and my texts won't come in. I don't know I'm sure everyone is thinking the same thing I am, which is I'm crap out of luck.
Hey there, I fixed my problem, and the only reason I am responding is to not waste anyone else's time, and who knows maybe someone else eventually will have this problem.
Anyway, I'm not sure what exactly fixed it, but I went into recovery, deleted every single thing I could delete, Hell, I even deleted the sdcard stuff (I'd imagine it makes no difference, but I was desperate). I installed the "Ava" rom and for some reason when I deleted and formatted Everything, "AVA" was actually able to boot up, the moment I went through the steps with Sense, it asked me to log in, and I did. A couple seconds later, I heard "Dling, dling, dling, dling, dling.." for a straight minute. Then all at once I had my 68 messages. ...Which makes me wonder, where the F were they before they got to my phone? Just floating around in the air? Like did the text message float to my phone when I was on Cyanogen and say, "Nope, nevermind." and float back away only to return when I put AVA on? ...Phew.. Sorry, just relieved. Thanks everyone who tried helping, I appreciate it!
Simple answer to what happened:
Sometimes EPST updates the radio's profile and PRL and all that in the background. Since CM doesn't have EPST, it can't do that, and after a while it "expires". You basically just have to flash a Sense ROM and it'll fix it.
Now, as for your "unable to boot" problem, that's due to the new radio version not being compatible with older HTC kernels. Only AOSP and 3.70-based kernels can boot with the latest radio.
Ta-da!

No kidding? That's amazing, you're the champ. Thank you for the explaination, it makes perfect sense. I'm not to um, cell phone savvy yet so this is new to me. However now I know to always keep a Sense ROM on my sdcard just for that sake alone. Thanks again man.

I have changed from stock to custom, funked around with a few different roms, from AOKP and an all black one (can't remember which) then to the Blu Kuban for a while now.
I think I did touch something in the dial codes. But for the life of me I can't even remember why I would have in the beginning
I guess I don't know if it was rom related or not.
I am lol
and I haven't cause I know the problem doesn't lie there. Have to expend all of my available options before I call them.
Also, I'm not 'techically' Sprint, but Credo Mobile. This company leases service from Sprint.
There's the problem - you're on an MVNO.
1) Go to phone and enter ##DATA# (##3282#)
2) Go to Edit and enter MSL
3) Go to Others and then MMSC URL
4) Change from mms.sprintpcs.com to mms.plspictures.com
This should restore MMS.
I don't follow, what caused that? You identified it rather readily.
Upon trying to edit in the phone code ##DATA#
I'm prompted to enter a MSL and only given numbers.

MVNOs don't use the same server as Sprint to send MMS messages.
The default for MVNOs (like mine, KDDI Mobile) is plspictures.com instead of sprintpcs.com
There are exceptions to the rule but this is most likely the same for you.
To get your MSL download Terminal Emulator and do the following (case senstive)
1) su
2) getprop ril.MSL
This should produce a 6 digit code - this is your MSL. Also should solve your current problem.
Yusssssssss!
So stoked, you my friend, are a savior and a genius! I don't care what no one says about ya lol. I thought it would be something uber simple cause of my weird carrier. What would have went and changed that might you reckon? Cause it did work at one point in time.
And I used another app, Get my MSL. 2nd one down from the top after I market searched 'MSL' worked fairly easy had me do this:
1. Open app
2. Touch 'Get my MSL' button

The one I know that will do it are the full restore one click packages. I've tested the nodata versions on the missus' phone and it seems to hold. Can't say for custom ROMs but likely you'll have to change after flashing.
Glad that fixed it for you!

I did use one of those in my history, well before I settled on this beauty. It'll be one of the things I'll have to bear in mind. I did update but then I restored back, I messed something up. I'll check to see if it does funk with the picture messaging with the flashing of a new rom.
That was literally the one downfall I had, now I'm rip roaring ready to go!

Hello everyone,
A quick question I'd like to pose to everyone about Android 4.2.2 Roms out there. Is anyone else having this issue, does anyone know what may be causing this issue?
I have flashed a couple 4.2.2 roms (jellybam and liquid smooth) and I have tried two visual voicemail programs. An apk of the normal sprint visual voicemail (worked with liquid smooth 4.2.1). And Google voice. Each for whatever reason will only use speakerphone for output. Both programs I have went into the settings to make triple sure that the normal ear speaker is selected as default. And even when toggling while playing a voicemail, the output doesn't change. I don't see anything in the phone settings relating to this issue.
Any ideas comments or questions for me?
Thank you!

Happened to have one on drop box. Working fine for me.
Not all ROMs have this issue, but yes, on Google Voice, some ROMs play out through the loudspeaker.
This occurs, for sure, on both $MyName's AOKP and task650's AOKP, as well as a handful of other ones that I've tried. PACMAN does not have the issue, nor does ParanoidAndroid, last I checked.
I've accepted the issue and stuck with AOKP myself.
