[Q] MMS wont download on CM7 V7.1.0.1 (10 Oct 2011) - Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

X-VzW-MDN

Is there any reason that the reg. When sending a message does not see the correct number is in place?Or is there away to make the reg point that it is there?Thank You
My phone acts like the X-VzW-MDN is not even entered.I have been fighting this for days now.Reflashing roms and hard rest,following any tut I can find.I dunno what the deal is.I have even tried installing other Acrosoft builds.All my settings under WspHeader are correct.Have my mms options all correct.I am lost even if I flash a factory VZ rom still same error.I called them got new A-Key made sure my phone account was right talked to 3 techs or what VZ calls techs.This Originator Address error is pissing me off lol.I even went as far as to clear the NV ram and restore it from a old one I had,That I know mms worked on.Something seems werid.Any ideas would be nice I posted a thread on it here.

I was going to flash back to V12 but lost the rom boooo.LOL thanks for any help.BTW everything else works but mms.I dunno about gps I never use it anyway.
I have a sprint 6900 running V13 with radio 3.37 on Verizon
Sorry if people think this is a double post but I thought it might need its own thread.
I'm assuming you're trying to make your MMS's work? Assuming you are I have followed these instructions with success on the last several ROM flashes including NFSFAN Win6.5 V13. I have attached the Arcsoft cab that I used after having some problems with the one posted in the NFSFAN 6.5 thread. It could have been user error when I tried NFSFAN's Arcsoft cab, but I figure another option couldn't hurt.
MMS
1. Go to connection settings and select "Manage existing connections"
2. edit the only connection there
3. Name it whatever you want ie "vzw"
4. hit next and enter #777 as the number
5. hit next and put "[email protected]"
and "vzw" as the password
6. hit finish
7. install the attached arcsoft cab
8. do a soft reset.
9. open phmregedit in the start menu
10. navigate to HKLM\Software\Arcsoft\ArcsoftMMS UA\Config\mm1\WspHeader\X-VzW-MDN
and put your 10 digit phone number for the value
11. wait a min or two and do a soft reset
12. go into messaging select menu and then mms options
13. select the server tab
14. select verizon wireless and change connect via to "the internet",
the other settings should be correct.
15. wait a few min and perform a soft reset once more
16. now mms should work!!!
Every time I've done this procedure my phone number has already been in the X-VzW-MDN spot, but I have always reentered it just because. Also remember to wait a couple minutes before soft resetting after that step.
Edit: I just read your post in the 6.5 thread, this is the solution to your problem. Make sure you uninstall any previous Arcsoft cabs first, then soft reset and THEN follow these directions to the "T".
I have tried that over and over not tring to be rude.LOL I do not think its something I am doing but a stuck reg or something I dunno.Thank you tho I will try it again
OK so I bought a sprint 6900 off a friend switched a vaild esn to it.I have VZW service mms has worked until I flash V13 to it.I called VZW to make sure my account was provisioned right.and get a new A-Key after fighting this error for a few days.I have flashed I dunno how many roms and tried I dunno how many fixes and tuts.I have tried every cab for Acrsoft you can name.I know all info on the phone is correct due to the fact I have entered it in my sleep lol.I erased my NV ram and reinstalled it from a date I know my mms was working.My X-VzW-MDN is correct and connection setting is correct.I wondering if VZW has done something on there end to stop mms on there end after the fact which I dought.When my phone goes to send a mms the icon pops up and flashes a few times and then I get the error.I dunno what else to try being that I have reflashed a factory rom and cleared the NV ram a few time now.My latest setting are V13 on VZW with GC arsoft and followed the Cody bear tut to a T.Still nothing same ol error.My net works just fine and my settings for mms are right and my X-VzW-MDN are there.I am wondering if my phone is not picking u that it has the right phone number in the area.I have no clue as to what to try now.I thank everyone for the help.I am thinking about switching to a toucj pro so if anyone can pm me the full exe for cdma 3.0 or higher that would be great.
these phones suck, my mms will not work for the life of me, switching phones is your best bet these phones are headaches and they really are garbage

That happen to me too, i could the not X-Vzw-MDN but what i found out that one of the arcsoft cabs has it and one does not so i switch from one cab to the other and the other and walla! i found it.Try getting a diff arcsoft cab.
I've also had to reinstall the same GC arcsoft twice to get the X-VZW-MDN to even show up.
it will not show up unless you wait a couple mins after installing and soft reset
i've never had a problem using the directions provided above. always sets MMS up properly.

Can't receive/download MMS after 2.3.3 upgrade?

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!!

[Q] [Fixed] Help! Cannot Send SMS with any ROM!

Hey xda,
My Desire has stopped sending sms's since i installed MIUI-AU 1.6.10 - used many ROMS before but never had this issue.
The first time i switched to MIUI i followed the instruction to flash the corresponding *.DX.zip file before flashing the ROM [see their site] which i did, then flashed the rom - all seemed ok and since then every time i send an sms to any number, from contacts/manually typed or what have you it gives an error - 'message not sent'
Since then, ive switched to the updated MIUI-AU,MIUI 1.6.17 (running currently), RCMix..whatver is their latest build - and im sure the issue will come back with any other rom.
Now obviously following all instructions and all i must have skipped something that is causing this..
Before flashing miui 1.6.17 i wiped everything and my SD card is setup for A2sd with the right partitions and extentions
Im running a CM7 HBoot if that matters.
If anyone has a clue please let me know here - im happy to provide any more information...cheers
Fixed: Guys if you ever get into the Messaging settings>Advanced>SMS Message Centre..don't change the default number stored there - i just called up my provider (Telstra) and they gave me the correct number to use and now everything is back to normal
Did you try to get the settings from your provider? You could try to reset them if you have got an account for the internet portal of your provider. You could also try to call them.
I don't know if you need special settings for every provider, but you can try this.

Thanks for the reply - phones here in AUS will normally get the settings as soon as you insert the SIM card but because i had deliberately messed with the sms message centre number i had to ring them to get that...your post got me thinking what i had changed and it just made sense

[Q] HTC Evo 4g Cyanogenmod 7 STOPPED receiving MMS

I know starting new threads is a risky thing here, but I feel my situation is peculiar/unique enough to justify the risk.
I've been running CM7 and using ChompSMS (donated) ever since using Android, many devices ago. This is the first time something like this has ever happened. A couple days ago, my phone stopped downloading MMSs. I can send myself a message (text with a subject) and the notification that the message is waiting for me will come in, but it will not download. I called Sprint and got the code to reprovision the phone, so I downloaded a stock rom and punched it in. The stock rom would download messages just fine. Switching back to CM7 (I tried multiple nightly builds, as well as the most recent stable build), the messages stopped coming in again. I googled all over the place and the best solutions I found was to delete "telephony.db" or to try "APN backup & restore," restoring the APN with settings that worked for somebody else. Every time I restored the APN, it would just remove all the entries. I tried to restore defaults (which brought back a "Sprint" one), reboot, no dice.
The only solution I've gotten to thus far was to download Go SMS Pro, which can download the MMS, after the notification has already come in and I go in to hit download manually. Yes, this gets the job done, but it's just a band-aid over the problem. I'm mostly curious just what exactly caused this, why it persists over every CM install (but not the stock rom), and why I can't seem to find any way to fix it.
A quick update to this, in case anybody has been keeping tabs. This problem spans across multiple roms. I've since installed an MIUI ICS rom, more versions of CM7, a very buggy version of CM9 ported, and another gingerbread rom, all of which kept the problem going. The only rom that works is the most recent rooted stock rom I downloaded. I REALLY don't want to go back to stock if I can help it. Any ideas now? Would flashing new radios help this? If so, I have to be S-OFF to do so, correct?
Thanks for all your help, those that do!
been having the save issue with MMS but I use Handcent not chompSMS, it also wont download using the Roms stock SMS app. it seems to happen on any ASOP rom that I've tried. but any sense based roms seem to work fine. goSMSpro also works for me if I manually hit download (thanks cause that's better than nothing). I have tried to flash new radios, along with flashing CM with a formatted mem car. and nothing seems to work. so If you find a resolution please keep this updated. good luck
I've been having the same problem for the past couple weeks with CM7. I've tried everything the Google suggested, changing the APN, turning off auto-retrieve, disabling MMS with Sprint and re-enabling it after a while, etc., nothing worked. I tried a few different roms too. I can't get MMS to work on any rom unless it's sense based.

Doing this won't cause any other issues? I really want to get this to work because I'm having the same issue on a CM7-based rom.

It says in the first post, we tried deleting telephony.db
Some of us have tried flashing multiple fresh roms, which I believe would delete telephony.db
Mms won't work unless it's a sense based rom.

I run into the same issue on Deck's Reloaded occasionally. More often than not, though, MMS works. Have never bothered troubleshooting it since it's hardly ever an issue.

Same problem
I'm having the same problem with CM7 on Evo 4G. I can get it to work with sense based rom and goSMS (thank you for posting that, I was about to bail on CM7 completely). Stock messenger and handcent won't work. I saw on another thread someone said it would work until flashing gapps, but I haven't tried that. I even tried backing up APN from a sense rom that would work, and restoring it to CM7, as well as deleting telephony.db, nothing works.
Yeaaahhh MMS can either go 1 of 2 ways. Either you try to get it to work and it works fine, like I just did on my evo, OR *nothing* you do seems to make it work.
I should know, I spent about 6 months earlier this year (on and off) getting MMS to work on my HTC Hero.
With that said, the first step is to make sure you're putting in the right APN info.
Start with deleting /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony*
Next, make sure you have the correct APN info in /system/etc/apns-conf.xml
You'll probably have to either sysrw in android terminal or "adb remount" on pc/mac/linux/whatever to make changes to that file.
This one should work on ICS/JB:
google sprint apns-conf.xml
Should be the last one, searchco.de
Just change the version to 6 if you want to use it on GB.
Reboot to make the system create a new telephony.db from /system/etc/apns-conf.xml
If that doesn't work, you may need more apn changes, framework-res.apk changes, mms.apk changes, etc. etc.
Currently my phone will only download mms that is 200kb or less with either the stock messaging app or handcent. I'm going to try some of the trouble shooting steps on this thread and see if anything works.
If anyone has a fix they know of that fixes this particular problem please let me know.

Oh wow.
Seems like a mission.

I have deleted that telephony file.
Nothing works for me.
Its weird cuz when my girlfriend sends me panty pics, it works (she's on an iPhone)
But when my mom sends me pics of my dog, it doesn't let me download. (She has HTC evo 3g)
Im on cm7.2 nightly (newest) w Mason g .15 kernel.
I really don't get why this happens.
Also, another friend of mine has an iPhone 4s like my lady, but I don't get his pics

My girlfriend is having the same problem as everyone else when it comes to MMS. She has my old Evo 4G running CM 7.1. I wiped the cache and dalvik cache, updated the PRL and profile with a sense ROM, but none of this fixed the problem. I can confirm that Go SMS Pro will download picture mail that neither the standard messaging app or Handcent could (they both gave the error "download of message New Message from SENDER was unsuccessful"). Hopefully a fix can be found soon. BTW, thanks for the tip omegastu!

How do I get my 3g and MMS working again on my S2?

I'm on an S2 SPH-D710. I installed CM10 about 3 months ago, and about 2 weeks ago my 3g and MMS stopped working.
Right now I'm running the cm-10-20121027-EXPERIMENTAL-d710-ProjectSilk rom that was recommended.
I researched the problem and I keep coming across people saying it's the APN settings. But either everyone figures it out and leaves just a "OK Fixed it" message or they don't reply at all.
How do I access my APN from CM10?
[FIX]
Ok so I will offer my fix to anyone having the same problem.
Go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Epic_4G_Touch/ROMs/S:D710.0.5S.EG30
Click the "Download-Full- One-Click" Link.
After it is done downloading turn off your phone. Then turn it on holding the power button and the volume down button.
Click Volume up to continue
The program you downloaded will need to be extraced which the EXE file does for you. Go to the Odin folder it created and run the program.
Plug your phone into your computer and wait for the program to say Added!
Then click start. This will factory reset your phone.
After it is all done you will boot into out of box state and possibly even get a network error code.
Go to settings/ about phone/ updates/ update system profile.
The phone will restart then BAM 3g and MMS working again.
Then reinstall your ROM. Basically updating the profile reset your APN settings which CM10 was unable to do.
