Can't receive/download MMS after 2.3.3 upgrade? - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all, I've recently upgraded to 2.3.3 and everything works fine except for one thing, I can't receive/Download MMS anymore. Everytime when someone sends me an mms, I get an notification and when I click on it, it just says something like 'cant download now, try again later error'.
I can send mms with no issues at all.
I did 2 things before this happened:
1. Flashed my phone to generic 1.81 on rom
2. Upgraded to 2.3.3 via OTA
I've also checked the settings for my mms apn and they are all good
any clues guys?

Try to delete the settings (APN) and redownload via the "Sony Ericsson" menu. Alternatively you might be able to do via the SIM Toolkit (it works for me, but might be different for different ISP/countries)

Hey thanks mate!! It worked!!

issues sending mms

Hi,
i have an issue in sending mms, i usually use handcent.
If i send an mms from handcent, it will send ok but its not recieved the other end .
if i use the stock htc message option it will not send mms at all (sms are fine on handcent and stock app)
it seems that the only thing i can identify is that 3 of the 4 mms ive tried to send but not recieved are to iphones, the other is a sony ericsson...maybe its an o2 thing ?
anyone else had problems and/or fixes/ideas ?
Cheers
(im also rooted with pauls root rom)
Got the same problem on rooted desire (stock, cyanogenmod).
sending mms fails (on stock rooted rom with 'generic network error' message), on cyano - with no message at all.
Receiving works well. Using stock app on both.
After unrooting desire everything works fine.
APNs settings checked a million times - are exact in each case.

[Q] How to make EVO get MMS?

(I'm a noob at this so please be patient)
(By the way, I have 2.1 update 1 installed on my phone)
Alright, so I had my phone flashed to MetroPCS and I have talk, text, internet, market (with MetroPCS internet), and everything else working except MMS. I really, desperately need MMS. Also, the store that I flashed my EVO at is a good 40 minutes away, so I don't have time to go there anymore... Now, as I said earlier the phone has EVERYTHING working on MetroPCS except for MMS. What would I have to mess with to make MMS work? Ask me anything else about the phone and I'll try my best to give you the information, but remember that I'm new to Android flashing so be patient lol.
PS: I have 2.1-update1. Any way to make it 2.2? This would be really appreciated but I want MMS more than 2.2 lol.
to get 2.2 what about root?
I too have had trouble getting MMS to work after flashing a new ROM. What seems to work for me is to use handcent at least once, that seems to get the stars in alignment for the stock messenger ap.

Have you tried flashing the MetroPCS rom? MetroPCS Rom It says everything is working
Or this shows how to provision it MetroPCS Provisioning
Thanks for the help guys. Like the post above me said, use MetroDroid. It makes everything work. Plus I got 2.2

Glad you got the best of both worlds, MMS and 2.2. You may want to swing by and thank Bloodykiller86, he is the one that did all the work.

[Q] MMS wont download on CM7 V7.1.0.1 (10 Oct 2011)

Hi all, i recently updated to the new CM7 (V7.1.0.1 (10 Oct 2011)). After updating i can not receive MMS.
I can send them, but when i try to send one to my self, or some one trys to sent one to me, i get the header, and a button marked "Download" i press the button, and after about 2 minutes i get an error flash up says that my MMS failed to download.
I can still send and receive them on another phone with the same sim so i know its not network related. I have run out of things to try. Any Suggestions??
Thanx in advance.
My guess is that the update messed up your APN settings. I had the same problem after flashing a new ROM, and it turned out that the MMS-port setup was wrong. I found the correct port on my carriers site and just added them manually.
I hope it works out for you...
edit: whoops mistaken post.
Nup, no dice. Already checked / re-entered the apn

[Q] [VZW] MMS stuck on "sending...", how to resolve?

Hey,
Got this phone of ebay a little while ago and my outgoing MMS worked fine for about a month. The phone has been rooted and seems like it was running a custom ROM. However everything has been fine.
Now when I send a MMS it gets stuck on "sending" and eventually it will say message failed to send.
This is what I've tried:
Deleting the cache for messaging app (stock)
Adding a new Verizon APN
Getting a new sim card
I can receive MMS just fine, doesnt matter if im on 4G/Wifi cant send them out.
I was thinking about trying to flash my radio, or go back to the completely stock phone.
Anyone have any ideas?

I doubt it is a radio. If it was me, I would go back to stock or at least a ROM that you put on there yourself .
I reset to factory and installed my own rom and flashed the radio just to be safe. Everything is working now, thanks for your input!

[Q] I can't send text messages???

It's been a week now and I still can't send any text messages.
I receive msgs but unable to respond back...
I thought it was because I finally updated to Jellybean (I've had ICS for awhile so I thought I should just stick to that) but then I downgraded last night to ICS and I still can't send messages.
well today I tried fixing it but still no luck, although I tried sending an MMS instead, I sent myself a picture and it worked! even tried it to other numbers and they received it. I also tried adding a text with the picture and it did work. but it's still not working when I just type in a text...
so anyway in short, I can't send SMS but can send MMS (and receive messages as well)
also extra: I can call people but whenever they call me it comes up as unknown number...
and btw I already checked the message centre number and it has the right number in it so I don't think the issues w/ that
Does anyone of you know what might be the problem? How can I fix it? Thanks
Did you flash new modem? Or did you Odin stock 4.1.2?

what does that mean? im sorry im not good at this but well i did something last night, i downgraded back to ICS 4.0.3 (from 4.1.2) using odin
I thought that would resolve the issue since everything occured after I upgrade to jellybean 4.1.2... but im now back to the old version but SMS still wont work. (but I can receive msgs and send a msg if it's MMS, which is very strange)

flash to a 4.1.2 or higher, i would recommend it since you always want to have the newest software since it makes your phone run buttery smooth lol. flash to another rom you want and flash properly! if sms still dont work find a radio zip file you can flash(but make sure its the one right for your rom!) and that should fix it

There's no right or wrong radio for particular roms. If its 4.1.2 or higher, there's only 2. Period. The new T-Mobile and the new Telus. They're the only 2 that work on any JB rom these days.

Well I don't have to now because it's fixed!
There wasn't any issue on my phone........ it was T-mobile all along -__-
I called them this morning and apparently they had my sent messages blocked, and they didn't had any idea why.
So they unchecked it and I can text perfectly fine.
Thanks for trying to help~!
I have this same problem, I'm going to call my service provider soon.
