Ever since I rooted my droid incredible I have had a continuous problem with receiving and sending txt messages. Sometimes it will work and sometimes it won't. I am wondering if it is a ROM problem or a phone problem. I was wondering if anyone could help. Thanks!
What ROM are you using, are you just rooted Stock?
How long has it been doing this?
And yeah, what he said ^
Could be a Rom or you're using or could be your phone itself. I recall several people, including myself, that had problems with mms on CM6 Froyo on the Droid Eris. Some people could fix it using an apn manager, but I could not. I had to move back to the Stock Sense with android 2.1 or a variant like XTR. If mms worked on Stock 2.2 for you, you could try using Virtuous or Sky Raider.

I agree with everybody's suggestions above. You might also make sure your phone is programmed correctly and that the ROM didn't change something critical in that regard. Dial *228 and select option 1.
Good luck!
Some ROMs also have bugs with MMS over wifi... if this is the case try turning wifi off before you send MMS

For some time now of have been trying to figure out why whenever I use a non sense based rom I have mms message download failures.
Come to find out, it only happens when I receive a mms that contains either an animated gif, or a gif with an audio attachment. I can receive mms messages that are just pics or plain text messages.
Again this is ONLY an issue on AOSP roms. All sense roms work as they should.
Can someone please look into this and see if this can be fixed?
Thank you.

Good luck, because you're apparently the only one who has this issue. I have never had any problems with video or audio MMS messages. However, my only experience with AOSP has been CyanogenMod. Never bothered with any of the others that have been recently released. So, give CM6 a try.
same here. no problems with mms on AOSP
I had the same problem until I tried MIUI...now they all work
Hmmmm. So all you guys can receive a mms that contains an animated gif with cm6 or miui?

You are correct despite what others say. ANYTIME the particular mms messages that you mentioned are sent while on AOSP they fail to download. No questions about it. I'm using the latest cm nightly but it has never mattered. You can only get gifs with sound and such via a sense rom on the evo.
There's a .zip in the Ultimate Droid rom thread someone posted that may help you. I don't have a link off hand, sorry.

Thats what I thought.
I have been banging my head on the wall for some time now trying to figure this out?
Is there a fix for this that you know of? If not, why is this issue never addressed?

Bump.
Wondering why this isnt looked into???
because its not a problem for the majority of AOSP users. if it was a major issue, it most definitely would have been address by cyan. you and the other guy who says it happens to everybody doesnt equal this being a major issue. not trying to me an ass.
Just checked with cm latest nightly. The mms does not download as you mention. I will have to look into this.....
i guess i must be special or something

Hmmmm........ I am pretty sure it is an issue with everyone. Have someone send you an mms that is an animated gif while you are on cm6 and See off you don't get a message failed to download error.

I agree with you. I was on CM6RC2 RC2 and couldn't receive any of those animated gif files. I clicked download and I got the error message that the download was unsuccessful.
However on the brighter side I was able to receive regular texts, video texts, and picture text.

Ya, atleast we are able to receive pics, vids, and texts.
It just gets annoying when I receive something and can't download it.
I wonder if the devs are aware of this?
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
After using CM6.1 RC2 for a few hours, I went back to MIUI, and couldn't receive or send MMS. I then went back to Fresh, and STILL had the problem.
Today, it went away. I was kind of lost.
I don't think that Android natively supports animated GIFs. I think they modified the browser to support it (or maybe it's native in the browser only). I don't know if Sense supports it outside of the browser, but if it does, it's something they included in the Sense image viewer.
If you save a gif image, it wont show animation. This might be connected to your problem.

Backup everything and do a full wipe and re-flash.
Only thing I can recommend besides getting a better ROM.
clockwork 3.0.0.5 only has options for a factory reset and cache wipe. I'm scared.....plz help

There are tons of threads on xda of mms not working on custom roms. Normally if its not working its an apn issue. I've even posted instructions on this last week on another thread. Search around and you might find it. I'd link to it but I'm not at my PC. Also keep in mind mms doesn't work over wifi if you have that on turn it off and see if it works then.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
The rom I'm currently using IncredibilyReengineered only sends MMS with the wifi turned off. Maybe you could try turning wifi off before sending the mms and see if that works. Just a thought. Usually the phone does this automatically, switching to 3G for MMS, but for whatever reason you have to manually turn wifi off to get it to work, at least you do on IncrediblyReengineered.

I'm running CM7 RC2 right now and I can't send or receive MMS messages unless I turn OFF wifi and then turn ON 3G... not too bad since its mostly text. Let me know how it works out for you.
ADR6300 CM7 RC2
Yea I can send on wifi I meant but can only receive on 3G ... (must turn off wifi cuz it always overrides 3G)

I read this here.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=910461
I had mms issues on even the stock rom before I rooted. It didnt matter if I had wifi on or off. The only rom that has ever worked 100% of the time was the cm7 nightlies.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
On most ROM's MMS will not send or receive when WiFi is on and connected. Sometimes it switches automatically to 3G like it should but more often it fails If you see it did not send then leave WiFi on and toggle Mobile Network. It will send just about immediately.
I just keep the Mobile widget on my home screen for that rare occasion that I am on WiFi and send an MMS.
Text is fine because that goes over the voice network
its not an issue of wifi because i don't ever use it. its always off. as i mentioned in my opening statements the APN fix DID NOT work. will be trying the ROM manager fix shortly.
edit. the fix in the mentioned link has nothing to do with the dinc. also the cited fix is not in the ROM manager downloads section.

the issue stems from backing up all data with titanium and restoring old information on a new ROM. i did a factory wipe and reflashed cyanogen 6.1 and everything works fine as long as i don't restore data.

I had my e4gt fully flashed to metro pcs about two months ago when it was running gingerbread.... I saved all my files and apps onto a SD card. I decided to upgrade to ICS. Knowing my MMS might not work. So know I'm running the goodness FH13. I transferred the android messaging app 2.3.7 and my MMS works. But my problem is I'm running the roms messaging and it only let's me send receive Texs. To get Mms I need to use my old android app. I can't get into the settings of the 2.3.7 . It fore closes my phone. It doesn't show the callers name only #. But the other tex app shows names. What can I do just to use one texting app? Sounds confusing but that's how I'm set up as of right now. I'm a noobie and scared to mess with it. Because it all works :what:

Hey guys, bit of a random one, but just recently my phone has started going crazy whenever I receive or send SMS messages. I am running ARHD with the default clock speed settings. Also using the GoSMS Pro app as the stock messaging app was playing around, I think because I have too many messages stored on my phone.
Basically whenever I receive or send a message, the phone will almost completely freeze for about a minute and I cant really do anything at all until it has finished. Then it works fine again, I don't have any problems with anything else really so just wondering if anyone has any suggestions?
Is this likely to be a problem with my radio? Because I have too many messages stored? Or any other ideas what it might be?
Thx in advance if anyone had any ideas!

I'm experiencing similar problems. I'm using a Cricket One V running both stock and custom tons. No mms on any of them and It's driving me crazy. I've searched the threads, tried clearing cache, factory resets, and attempted a file replacement with no luck. I'm a semi-noob and would appreciate any tips, hints, or instructions. It sucks only being able to send sms messages

Not sure if this will help you. It is something to do with MSL.

So, I have found after wiping and reinstalling the different JB ROMs and kernels, that most of the time MMS will work a few times, but will stop working pretty quick. I was running JMZ one v with the CM9 kernel and it seemed to work fine. That was the only kernel, however, that would let me use WiFi. Any ideas why my MMS would work for a short time on JB ROMs and then quit? Until this problem started there was no problem. Anyways, thanks for everything.

MMS fix
Need to slightly adjust your APN settings for the fact you are now using JB instead of ICS

has the fixed settings for O2 but the only real difference is the APN type is now * only
maybe a possible fix?
So what I did when I had this problem, after putting a new rom on my phone was going in to settings>mobile network>access point names. I then went to menu and "New APN" I looked up my service providers APN and put in the info I was given from my service providers website and it worked
I have the HTC One V Primo U and I use Koodo as a service provider
my phone is a GSM and I'm using the mySENSE-v RC3.5 rom with titanium-kiss-usb kernal
