Your MMS Server might have the wrong address or something. Tell me something, are you able to send regular text message without a problem or does that result into an endless wait too? If you're not able to send text messages either then you're going to have to flash into a sense rom preferably Sprint Lovers ROM and go to the dialer and press ##DATA#, once you press that you should be prompted for a code which will be your MSL....if you don't know your MSL then go to the market and download MSL reader....get your MSL and retry the ##DATA#.....once you enter your MSL then you should see a black screen with about 4 or 5 menu entires....go into Advanced and scroll down to where it say MMS Server and make sure it says http://mms.sprintpcs.com.....if it doesn't say that then that was your problem....reboot and re-flash CM7.

No I don't have any problems with SMS. But I will try the process you stated ... I had to do pretty much the same thing to get my 3g to work on my custom roms so I get the jist of the steps ..ill post my results once I set it up. Thank you for the help

Did you have your 3g on? Won't work on wifi, but works on 3g. 3g has to be on before you begin to send.

Fixed it! thanks

No problem dude! Helping out each other is what this site is all about! You learn something by either reading, personal experience or just a freak of nature and you just pass it on...........

So my phone got disconnected recently for few hours as a lack of payment but when they reconnected it my mms doesn't work again ...everything else works after I went through the msl process to set up everything ..GPS 3g etc and I checked and updated my mms source ..prl etc...the thing is my mms work when I'm on a stock rom ..but after I reinstall cyanogen it stops working ... any suggestions

Since installing Cm6 my visual voicemail has not worked

I don't understand it. I even did a nandroid back to my old ava v6 and I still get the text notification. How do I fix this?

visual voicemail not working?
It should work, assuming you installed all the nice Sprint apps.
I still get the text notification?
There is that clear command that gets rid of notifications, but no real fix in CM6. I suggest you stick to a ROM based on the latest OTA.
Problem solved
Some suggested to use Visual Voicemail Compose screen and send it to the following address: [email protected]
this worked
Thanks

Did you get three text messages after you sent that out. I went in there and put that as a contact to send to and hit record and stop and sent it. I then received three text messages im immediately after that. Anyone else?

Never got any text messages after that. Just all of my voicemails popping up about 1 minute after I sent it.

[Q] Getting Sprint Visual Voicemail on MIUI 1.4.29

How can this be done? I'm not a huge fan of Google Voice...
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!!
Just go to a sense Rom and make sure you have Sprint VVM setup and back it up with titanium backup then restore on minuit it should still work...never had a problem on aosp roms

Is there any way I could do this with a flashable zip or apk?
I just installed the vvm.apk on MIUI & it worked. If it doesn't work right away, try composing a voice message (I just sent one to myself) and you should receive your messages.
EDIT: Apk is here: http://db.tt/P5JdM4Z

Thanks a lot!!
It installed fine, but won't work. When I start it, it says "Verifying your account information...". I hit the back button to make it go away, but it won't send the activation message...

Did you try menu > compose, then send yourself a voicemail from there? It worked for me.

Yeah, when I do, it just adds it to the list of messages pending delivery...
Getting Error V30: Voice message will be delivered when data service becomes available.
Obviously I have tested my 3G by browsing the web and also tried with WiFi...
no one has a reason for the above problem? I've searched and searched but no one seems to know why error message V30 exist if we DO have 3g. Why is the activation message not sending out?

ya if i still have the issue i am gonna try just wiping everything and reflashing cm7 and work from there thanks for the responses!
Also trouble with sending messages with pictures
My phone is an HTC EVO 4G, on which I have flashed DigitalKarma v7.77 Heaven: Deluxe Edition.
I have searched until my eyes gave out but have found no solution to my issue which is I cannot send messages with pictures attached. After a considerable amount time I get an error which indicates a "generic network error", no error message, no additional details. Now I am also receiving this error on incoming messages with pics as well. I do not know if this came along with the flash of 7.77 or if it is unrelated. If you have any information, please share.

Jibberish SMS (MIUI theme?)

OK quick question... searched a bit and cant find anything, but I swear I have seen this before... just flashed my old Epic with the newest MIUI for the old lady, and now her phone is sending jibberish texts... she will type one and it will send a couple extra of all @#%$$%$*&%*^**(&)(**&*&$%$#^^*(&()&) stuff... Ideas? I was thinking it was because she has been playing with the themes, and one of them jacked up the SMS... ??? Or possibly it needs hands free activation?? It did get the 9016 texts saying it was activated... help?
Known issue you need to have it split the messages after a 160 characters. Also don't send mms over wifi...
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Thanks for the replies, but my question was not about the split sms issue, as in a text 'testing' ALSO sends a jibberish message or three. Reflashed and now no texts go outbound whatsoever. Will try gosms etc to see if it solves this problem as well, wasnt looking for the split issue, already knew about that... but Ill try anyways... Read all the sms related issues in the MIUI thread... but under 160 chars... idunno.
EDIT: Installed gosms, killed its notificaitons, turned on split... no dice.
Are you on wifi.....

Thanks Kennyglass... been googling and found all sorts of sms issues, almost all Sprint (ns4g, OG Evo, Epic)... but none exactly the same as this issue. Now its not sending sms at all... (not mms, but I will try that too) but can receive. At least this time it registered the *99 for my airrave (it was already connected to it, just to confirm)... think ill flash back to stock and try again... so let me get this straight, with MIUI currently you have to turn off wifi to send mms, sms, or both? And of course the split message thing... thats easy...
Edit: killing wifi but as I had already reflashed now I cant replicate the jibberish... will see after another clean download and return to stock... thanks guys... I kinda think its a network issue... not sure...
You sure its not jibberish mms? That's a known issue

I have read threads where the jibberish is triggered by 160+ char. texts, but not by one word texts. I haven't been on the Epic thread in quite a while, so maybe im missing something. Could you describe the known issue... and how to solve get around it???
OK so not sure if this was related to the jibberish, but phone would not send messages until I called sprint, (forgot hands free activation dialer code), did that, profile, prl... still didnt work. Power cycled Airvana... bam... works... stupid Airvana... cmon go team Network Vision! Id love to know if the jibberish is related to the Airvana, or just some weird bug though...
I had this same problem on AOKP. About a third of my txt msgs were being received as gibberish.
It's really what caused me to switch to People's ROM. That and the camera problems.
Edit: in believing that the issue is likely fixable, I have switched back to aokp.

[Q] MMS Messages not being sent..Note 3

Ok here goes...I have a rooted Note 3 ..I am running Jedi Elite...I just did the root and ROM on Monday ..As of Thursday I have been unable to send any MMS Messages, I can receive them, but when they are sent they show leaving the phone, but there is no Delivery, just says requested...I called ..Tech Support at TMobile, and they have the engineers on it after changing some settings and having me do a restart which did nothing for the problem..This morning the tech told me that other Note 3 phones are having this issue and had to be returned and traded in..
Has anyone had this problem with the Note 3? Could it have something to do with the Root or the ROM? I am really getting frustrated with not being ale to use MMS and this is the last resort...I was not sure where to psot this so here it is ...As far as I know as of this morning the engineers are still working on this problem...MMS Messaging worked fine until Thursday which tells me that it isn't in the programming of the phone...this is my first time rooting..so if anyone has any ideas on what might be going on I would appreciate it..thx in advance!
UPDATE: Just found out from a friend that MMS messages are going thru now, but phone is not showing DEL REPORT...meaning it is not showing hitting the tower or wherever they go ...I have del report req...always got one with the Note 2..
check your APN settings. I always change the default settings to: default, admin, dun, supl, mms. Ever since Hangout w/ SMS came out, I've never had to use the default SMS app again.
I have had this problem before. Are you running any ad blockers? Try disabling them and send MMS. It fixed it for me when I had this problem.

Having the same issue no one receives pictures I send them I disabled the ad blocker in hopes of fixing the problem
I was having random issues with mms only for a while. A restart usually fixed it, but I also started having regular network issues. The phone would connect to the tower, and I had data, but it was very slow, or would timeout. I tried to check the APN settings, and see that the stock ones are greyed out, and you can't edit them, so I added the old standard one, and now everything works perfect. Here is what I added in case anyone wants to know.
