I don't know if anyone else is having this problem, but for the longest time I haven't been able to send/receive MMS on my phone. I run recent CM6 nighties, with s-off, hboot .92 and the 7.28 radio. Right now using the ziggy 10-26 kernel.
I primarily use Handcent, but I've tried it in the stock messaging app too and nada!
It just keeps "sending..."
I've tried searching XDA, handcent forums, forums at Cyanogen, etc. Never really found anything helpful. If there's something I missed I'd greatly appreciate anyone pointing me in the right direction.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance

This happened to me when I used Cyanogen as well. Never got it fixed. With this new rom (Ultimate Droid) when I deleted Mms.apk i couldn't receive so i restored it. Possible you don't have Mms.apk in /system/app/ ?
I checked, it's in there.... I'd really hate to go back to a sense rom in order to get mms to work. I'm surprised nobody else has had this problem...
Any other thoughts floating around out there?
Thanks again!
Make sure you don't have the stock messaging app disabled or any parts of it blocked or disabled. I had that problem before and that's what caused it.

Thanks for the thought, but I don't think that's the problem either. I can send SMS through stock, but MMS keeps saying "Sending..."
I had this problem before as well. Spent HOURS upon HOURS trying to resolve it. Turned out it was a simple rule in my firewall, Droid Wall. Make sure you allow "Messages" access. Doh!
I have this problem as well. I can send/receive on any htc sense rom, such as stock or myn's 2.2, but cannot send on miui or cm6.
MIUI - no send/no receive
cm6 - yes receive / no send.
I really can't figure out what htc framework, or the mms.apk, has that is letting it that the others won't. It's strange.
I know this isn't much help as I cannot remember how exactly I fixed this but it is indeed fixable so do not give up. cyanogen 6.1 RC2 works fine it seems, have you tried the new one?
I'm on 6.1 rc2. So far I've tried....
replacing the apn with a known working apn
wiping everything/flashing cm6/replacing apn/rebooting
replacing apn with cyanogen's posted apns-conf.xml, deleting telephony folder, rebooting
any basically any combination like that.
edit: I even tried replaceing the telephony.db and apns-conf.xml on cm6 with the ones that were on my working stock sense rom. Still stuck at "sending"
Anyone ever get this figured out? Having the same issue on my g/f's Incredible. She can receive MMS just fine in stock Messaging and Handcent, but can't send MMS in either; just sticks at "sending..."
It's an issue in both CM6 & 7. We've wiped, checked APNs, checked mms.apk, etc.
Still plugging away at this, but no avails so far. =/
Cheers for any input.
Scratch that;
A full re-wipe and re-flash fixed it.
Even though I wiped going from Sense>CM6 (then 7) on her Incredible, it sort of seems like a lot of the Sense/Verizon settings were retained within the system - almost like the wipe didn't fully do its job.
When I first ran the new CM6 install last week, Google never pulled her apps or full contact info automatically. It honestly seems like those Verizon apps were f**king up her ability to properly sync contact and app data to her Gmail account, even though it was checked to do so. Now, after a week of running on CM, a full wipe and re-install has all of that info pulling down properly, as well as full restoration of the ability to send MMS.
Hope this helps some folks out there having this issue.

Hi
I am currently using icecoldsandwich 8.6.1 brilliant rom but only one issue mms not working. This issue I have had with a couple of roms. I read somewhere that I can try an app called handcents SMS . Tried it no joy still can send mms.
Can anyone advise
Thanks

MMS is flaky with IceColdSandwich. Works for some people, doesn't work for others. Make sure your APNs and other MMS settings are set up properly.
Checked and settings fine but still cannot send
Sent from my Desire HD
Then I don't know how to help you. It's just one of those issues that works for some and doesn't work for others. You'll see a lot of reports about it in the IceColdSandwich thread. Search the thread to see if there are any fixes. Also try GO SMS Pro.
As above post states, try GoSMS, as i have had problems with mms for as long as i have been flashing custom roms and thought one day i would try go sms and i was able to receive mms no problem for the first while then it stopped working (in regards to mms), so i un-installed it and now for some reason or another the default sms program now works fine. So i guess anything is worth a try.
Im having the same problem, have tried many different apps but no success.
But with icecoldsandwich it worked
same problem here with the xxxPachaxxx ics sense 3.6 rom as well. went back to arhd until its fixed
I was wondering if anybody else has seen this issue. When I rooted my phone and installed my first custom ROM, I installed ChompSMS as I had purchased it some time ago. But when I tried to send a text using it, it would not send but would receive. I had to use the stock messaging app to send messages.I finally had to just remove it. I installed Handcent SMS instead and it worked fine. I newer version of the ROM can out and I decided to do a clean install. After doing this, Handcent SMS would no longer send messages but would receive. I had to use the stock messaging app again to send messages. I removed Handcent and thought I would try ChompSMS again and sure enough it works now. Is this particular ATT or the note 2 or something else entirely?

have you tried just unistalling either app then reinstalling it. when you say you are updating/changing roms are you restoring from an app or just downloading everything over again?
it maybe the way you are restoring the app its self. or maybe even just clearing cache and data from the chomp or handcent and reboot to see if that clears it up. i dont think this issue is tied to the phone.
I was installing the app from the play store.. I have tried removing and installing again, and I even tried restoring a backup from TB from a date when it worked. I restored without data and then with and that didn't help either.
and this was even happening on your stock Rom?
or not until you went to a custom rom?
Never tried it on the stock rom. The stock rom was only on it long enough to get from the ATT store to the house. I rooted it and customized it right away. I seem to recall this same issue happening on my original note a couple of times. I will try to get some more info to post here.
I am planning on flashing the new Synergy Rom for Galaxy s3, I see it is available for all carriers, but there is no dedicated thread for it on the sprint part, I see it is on the Verizon threat and it says works on all carriers....is there any other files I need to flash along with the main zip to make it work for sprint, or is that included all in that one zip.
source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792499
It's all included... some reports say that with Sprint you need to flash, let it try to boot (it won't boot) and then dirty flash over top of it again and it should boot up
SPRINT GS3 FAQ
It works well. But you can't update profile/prl. Also if you want to install custom kernels must be Sprint versions.

Synergy ROM + Ktoonz w/ Team Kernelizers tweaks
Phone not yet activated message Sprint S3
Just flashed the synergy ROM, and I could not get the phone to work. I re-flashed it several times, and tried all of the options in the setup before flashing. The data worked fine. The phone would dial Sprint customer svc for a second, and then say phone not yet activated. I had CM 10.1 on there, but that was not for me. I wish this would have worked, but I suspect someone here knows the fix. Maybe a bad download? It took 1.5 hours over slow hotel internet.

unnntil I "lost" data connectivity (it turns it off when you remove the icon in the quick access menu.) And tried "restoring" a good data connection. That made it mad and now I'm back to no service. I am an idiot. I'll re-re-re-re flash it tonight and see what sticks.

I've noticed this as well. I didn't think it would matter at all though. Everything works GREAT that I tried. BUT I found out after using it all day today, that it has a flaw with sending and receiving MMS... For me anyways. I can get on my 3G connection just fine and it pulls up websites, sends and receives emails. The phone also calls out just fine and sends and receives SMS no problem. Everything works great except for the MMS (be it pictures or an audio recording)
I've tried - Updating profile - didn't work
- switching my data connection from LTE/CDMA to just cdma.
- Wiping internal SD card (not just data/cache but the whole SD card VIA cwm) and reflash rom
- I don't know what else to try
Anyone have this problem? Anyone know what I may do to resolve it?
I've looked around and I got to the point where I entered in a special code which would reboot the phone and activate it. Too bad it didn't work and I had to restore the stock rom for it to do that process (Hope it doesn't charge me an activation fee)
Thanks so much for any input! I like the liquid smooth rom I'm on right now, but man I love the camera too much on the touchwiz roms and so far it seems like this synergy not only gives me the speed of aosp but the look of touchwiz and the note2 camera. Would be nice if i can get around this hurtle
Update on my above post
Just an update - I got the MMS to work by using GO SMS from the play store. I thought it was a long shot to install a different messaging app, but now I can both send and receive MMS! It still wont work through the normal messaging app (Sending MMS results in it acting like it went through, but never reaches its destination. Receiving MMS would constantly ask me to download it, then fail when I would click the download button.) But then when I go into this go sms app and try to download it, it works just fine, and sends just fine. The options in this app seem pretty awesome for a free app anyways so I'm actually kinda happy I had to find a workaround
It seems when I downloaded this app, that the messaging app would often forceclose after receiving a mms. To eliminate this, I just went in the messaging app and turned off notifications and auto retrieve MMS. no more force closes
Hope this helps anyone else who may be having this issue!
Have a great weekend!!!

Thanks for this info! This new Synergy ROM is very nice, and I had not noticed the mms issue until today. Mine actually rebooted a few times while the messaging apps fought it out. I think I have it sorted now. I am glad I continued to try getting Synergy installed.

Thanks for the workaround hopefully they try to fix this in the next update. So I've had read that the next's update, the team will concentrate on Sprint :fingers-crossed:
The thread that you provide it, got me thinking allot and I'm afraid of restoring my phone to a backup I had made before installing Synergy Rom. Me thinking if I do something more I will end up having no service or phone number . I never seen this happen before

I guess my fear and guts were correct about my phone giving me a surprise ! Just restore my phone to my backup I made before installing Synergy Rom. Now knowing I can't activate my phone with stock rom =( Phone calls work, Sms seem to works when sending pictures and text. 4G is working but I can't activate my phone. Why? I'm going to start looking for info later on the day

Did you click the activate this device button under settings? That is completely not necessary.your phone its already activated otherwise you wouldn't even be able to make calls. The activate button is for when you first get the device it activates it on sprint's side

I just recently rooted and flashed a rom (successfully) to my phone (SPH-L710), but I notices a very annoying issue. I cannot send or receive multimedia messages (MMS). I am technically not on Sprint. I am on Ting which uses the Sprint Network. Before I rooted, I was only able to use MMS messages if I was on wifi. I have turned off data on my phone to save money on my monthly bill. Some people may find that annoying, but I don't and it's a small price to pay. After rooting and flashing my phone to Gummy 4.4.4, the MMS messages won't work, not even on wifi. I still have mobile data turned off and I'm worried that turning it on will be the only solution to this problem.
Anyone have an idea?
Gummy is really the only ROM I've used so far. I'm still a noob to the whole rooting/flashing thing. I'd love to flash to Lollipop, but I'm still waiting on the camera issue to be solved. I need the camera on my phone for work.
Thanks in advance for any help.
You need the MMS settings fixed, easiest is to use a third party text app like goSMS or textra and manually put in your MMS settings

in 5.0 camera works as long as you use third party cameras like Open camera....but you would have to use another third party app for video i forget which one tho since I'm not really taking videos at the moment....and flash different 4.4.2-4.4.4 AOSP roms to see if the problem is still there...
