try downloading anycut from the market. once installed open it and select new shortcut...activity...find apns or apn and create a shortcut. once it says created go to your home screen and find it. it should say apns or apn. click it and you should see sprint with a circle next to it...click the circle so that it becomes selected. exit and try to send text. if it doesnt work reboot and try again. You can also edit it as well

Thanks! That worked for me but can you tell me why?

I don't know why it is. I am still learning myself. But for some reason in the kernel or Rom it doesn't activate it all of the time. I am looking forward to bubbys write up on making custom kernels in the developers section. Glad it worked for you. I don't know if there is a thank you button for me somewhere but if there is please tap it.

Didn't work for me. Thanks anyways. I think I'm just going to call sprint to get a new one.

Did an PRL and Profile update and I am back good as new. I had to do this when I first got teh phone because I could not send MMS. Afterwards, I flash roms and so on and just finally got to the flash I like and could not send.
Did the same PRL and Profile update and was able to send them again with ease.

Sprint picturemail has been down since last night

Nice! I just did the prl and profile update and sent it. Thanks man!

See my issue isn't that I can't receive the messages, it just says downloading and that is it. I haven't had any issues sending them at all like others. Any one else have issues not being able to receive messages?

Try opening messages hit settings and unselect auto retrieve. Now the next time you get a picture mail tap download and see if it downloads. Also try the prl update and profile update as well that was posted by someone earlier.

More MMS issues on CM6?

I remember reading about people having issues sending MMS's under CM, but that it had been fixed in the newest version. When I tried to send a few pics to people a couple weeks ago, the recipient would receive blank messages.
I haven't tried since then. Tonight, I'm trying to send one, and it's stuck on "sending."
Ideas? Fixes?
Thanks in advance!

Hmm!
Are you getting good coverage where you are? I'm rocking the latest & greatest from cyanogen(6.1.1) & I'm able to send pic's through mms just fine.
No MMS problems on my end.
Yeah, I get great coverage. Hmm, did your MMS work right out of install without setting modification?
EDIT: I did a restart. Still same issue; the message sticks on "Sending... " on both 3G and Wifi.

Just a quick thought - are you apn settings correct? They may have got botched somehow - just go to it, hit menu and click reset to default. See it that helps at all.

MMS over WiFi Calling

Hi,
I am running ICS 4.0.4...using stock messaging or Go SMS.
Is there any way to fix the MMS over WiFi calling issue? It's awful. Even though group SMS works within Go SMS, it fails if I'm on WiFi calling, and my friends hate using GroupMe. Are there any APN settings I can change? a different MMS.apk app I can use?
I am rooted FYI.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Craig
Try Samsung's fix. Turn Wi-Fi on. Open gmail and send an email to yourself and attach a pic using the acct registered to for your phone. Once you get that, try sending an mms to yourself. You should get it fairly quickly.

Yes it's a permanent fix. 2nd level tech support at tmo told me about this a few months ago and its worked for me and my wife's phone several times when I've flashed a new Rom that mms over Wi-Fi hasn't worked.

This doesnt work. Mines just switches to 4g to send it then back to wifi..
Well sorry guys. It's supposed to be the fix from Samsung and its worked for me numerous times.

I believe the issue with GOSMS themselves been testing out MMS over wifi, so far i found it works fine with the stock MMS app and Handcent SMS. Going to try some other apps and see if they work.
Seems i may go back to HandcentSMS until GOSMS fixes it.
I have tried that technique but it failed.....

Thats because it doesnt work. Thats why these devs made it work with the stock DEODEX version or any other custom roms.. I want to see a video from the person that has "achieve" this. Because all I get is when on WIFI, and I send a MMS, 4G comes on real quick to send it and receive it then it switches off.

Im the one who originally posted the Samsung fix several months ago. I have used it after MMS over wifi not working on several ROMS after initial flash, including my current ROM Beastmade (odexed).
Here is your requested video. I sent an MMS to myself, and you can see 4G never turns on. Only wifi uploads/downloads.
Here you go!
MMS only works over data! If on wifi calling it will switch over to data to send and if data is off it will not send.

That's incorrect! If you watch the video i posted 4g never turns on. Also, i just tried it after turning data off and it went thru. If you'd like a friendly $100 PayPal wager I'd be happy to post a video showing it

Can't send or recieve picture messages

So this is a problem I've had for a while now. I can't send or receive picture messages. When I try to send a picture it just stays on sending, but the picture never actually sends. When someone sends me a picture it gives me the option to download (whether my settings are set to auto retrieve or not) and when I click on download it just hangs there. I've tried sending a picture to myself and that works fine. Right now I'm on the Jedi Knight V3 ROM, but I've had this problem on Darkside Evolution, AOKP, and even stock 4.0.4 rooted. Please help!!!

Is your APN set correctly? I don't have any reason to believe it's not, but usually MMS problems have to do with APNs.

Hmm bummer man. Ive used 3 of the 4 ROMS you listed, and on one of them I had to do these steps to get it to work, the other 2 it worked out of the box. Im out of ideas.
Whos your carrier? If its Tmobile or simple mobile, wipe both proxies in your APN setup. Also when you receive or send MMS make sure your WIFI is OFF not on...
I had the same issue, thats what helped me out

thats not what im asking. the message center number for at&t is different for t-mobile so if this is for t-mobile only then it changes the message center number making it impossible to send and recieve texts on my at&t phone with out having to call in and get the right one back. if it keeps my phones sms settings and just pretty much themes it then no worries but if its built to run on t-mobile and has t-mobile defaults then it changes the number and then puts anyone not on that service out by having to re obtain the right number. sorry to get all technical but id much rather remove and install rather than to do both and then call at&t to fix it so i can send messages.
It will work with att perfectly fine. And everything works including MMS. Your needs to be rooted and you need to delete your original messaging system app before you install the new one and another cool thing about this app is that it will change with 90% of themes you put on your phone and most SMS /MMS mods won't I'm sure you will not be disappointed with this app ..

awesome, im going to insdall it and give an update aftr i mess with it a bit. thanks for the work its greatly apreciated as is all the work we have done to our phones by anyone that is capible of doing so.
definitely not working... says it cannot install
Did you delete you stock system messaging app first then install it it will work if you uninstall you stock system messaging app first I used root tool box pro it worked great
Sent from my LG-E980 using XDA Premium HD app
if it wont install just delete the stock app copy this one after you download it and move it to system/app then reboot. i had to but after i removed the stock one i didnt reboot before i tried installing this one. but its as simple as moving it if it wont install. works fine for me and looks really good on this phone.
Does the quick reply still show up with this installed? I love that thing but I like the black window.

I can receive MMS messages fine but it FC's on me when I try and send a MMS.
+1 on that. i cant send pics or vids either. it either fc's or says it cant send. either one just leave a blank tile and says sending until i delete the whope thread. anyway you can pist the stock app so we can have full functionality back?

Mms limits

I've noticed that I can only send 1 or 2 pictures at a time in the stock message app. Is anyone else having this issue? My daughter's iPhone can send more then that to me in 1 message. Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere? Thanks
Yep. That's why I went with textra.

I tried textra and it won't even let me send 1 picture. It says file to large. I'm only sending pictures I've taken with my phone and they are only 8 mb pictures at that
I send 11 pics at a time with textra.

U don't have to tweak anything for pics. It should just work.

Go into mms settings and manually check configure apn. Look at pic below.

Has to do something with your apn. So with or without that checked u still can't send pics?

Go to Settings>More Networks>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names
Match up what I haveā€¦
Report back if its the same. If not then either check the current APN used and see if its matched up or create a new APN and match up with mine. Then save it. Then reboot your phone. Then try picture sending again.
Yes but now I believe it's an att issue in my area. My friends and family are now also having the same issue,so I believe once the art issue is resolved textra will work.

So you're saying your APN matches mine?
Yes it matches yours exactly. The reason I think it's an art issue is because now when I turn off my WiFi I can't load the play store or YouTube and when I access the Internet it takes forever before any Web page will load

If I were you I would go to the AT&T site and open up a chat with a rep. Discuss your issue and see what they say. They will be able to tell you if there is network issues in your area or not and provide solutions.
Update. Att had a service area issue and got that resolved and now textra is working great! Thanks to everyone for your help on this thread.
