[Q] Rooted Boost Mobile phone, No MMS! - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

So My E4GT was on Boost and after I rooted it (I flashed a kernel, i didn't do the easy method that doesn't replace the kernel ), and know i cannot send MMS. I tried editing the APN... didn't work! So how can i fix this? Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks.

Boost Mobile might use a different MMS URL than Sprint, even though it technically runs on the Sprint network.
You might want to look into that and change the MMS URL in the phone's data configuration if that's the case.
Should be simple enough:
1. Go to your phone's dialpad,
2. Enter ##3282#
3. Tap on "Edit"
4. Enter your MSL code (here's how to get that code without calling Sprint for it)
5. Tap on "Others"
6. Tap on "MMSC URL"
7. Tap on "mmsc" to replace the URL in there with whatever Boost Mobile's MMS URL is.
8. Press the home button to go back to your home screen and you're done.

URL from my BOOST phone that can send/receive texts: http://mms.sprintpcs.com
I would update Profile and PRL afterwards.

I know for Cricket, they have to use the flashing software to fix MMS. Dunno about Boost.

When I tried this method, I only get a force close at step 6.

Forced close also happens to me as well. Is there a way to set this thru qpst instead?
Update 7/27
Put a new rom on it and totally wiped data cache and davlic. Then was able to access the ##3282# menu. Then I was able to set mms menu to mm.myboostmobile.com and now mms is working.

AT&T 8525 GPRS Password

Does anyone happen to know what the password is for the GPRS setting for the AT&T 8525?
I'm upgrading to WM6 Black Majik and the instructions on MrVanx's site says to copy down the info.
The only thing is that the password to log onto the network shows all *'s and I can't find out what the password is supposed to be.
Also the site says to go here to change the MMS settings:
MMS settings:
Again with any luck you wrote down the MMS settings, this time go to start>messaging>menu>options>mms>servers(tab). tap the 'New' button and enter the settings. remember to set the new settings as the default ones in the servers page.
But when I go to the options menu, there is no "MMS" option. Only SMS/MMS and after I click that it only shows to options box to check, no servers tab.
Anyone know what's going on?
P.S. I'm following the EXACT instructions on MrVanx's site word for word and everything has worked up to this point.

MMS settings - can't help you there - a good google search would get you this.
Anything u will ever need for AT&T:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1360192&postcount=1
actually, you don't need anything besides the AP. Usernames/passwords are not actually used any more. Just follow this:
If you have a pda connect plan then your ap can be:
isp.cingular
or
wap.cingular
If you have a media connect plan then your ap can only be:
wap.cingular
Okay, thanks for the link. I've installed the CAB file that was on the thread.
The only problem I have left is the fact that I can't receive ANY text, picture, or video messages. I've tried sending it to myself and from my Verizon phone. Nothing.
Any ideas?
Make sure you have the right text messaging/data plan..
I have unlimited data and messanging. So that is definately not the issue.

MMS :(

I know u guys get these like 5 times a day. Yes i used the search didnt find my answer. I just got a data plan and i set up my internet works fine. But my MMS is the only thing that doesnt work.. i was on the phone with rogers did everything they told me and then they said the only thing they could do is hard reset.. im running kavanas rom.

Just to look at two...
yes ive heard of google and i woulnt have posted here unless i already tryed that. so i figured out i can end mms but cant receive
I wonder what you typed in the search box then.
First, set up the MMS connection:
Select Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Connections
Then select the Advanced Tab -> Select Networks -> New
Enter "Rogers MMS" (or some other name), then head to the Modem Tab and hit New again.
Enter "MMS" (or whatever you want, again), select Cellular Line (GPRS) (not just Cellular Line). Enter "media.com" as the APN.
The User Name is "media", the password is "mda01". Hit Finish.
Now, to set up the messaging app:
Open Messaging (I have it mapped to the default hard key) -> Menu -> Tools -> Options.
Tap on the existing MMS account (if you don't have one, you need to install the MMS app) to edit it, and make sure that the following options are set:
Retrieve messages immediately is checked
Attempts before giving up is 2
Photo resolution is QVGA (320x240).
Head over to the Servers tab and edit the existing entry (if there is one) or create a new one. Enter the following settings:
Server name: Rogers MMS (this one's up to you)
Gateway: 172.25.0.107
Port number: 8080
Server address: http://mms.gprs.rogers.com
Connect via: Rogers MMS
Sending size limitation: 250K
WAP Version: WAP 2.0

It don't matter what version of WinMo you are running because what count are the IP number and all. You would use the same codes with a V3.

thanks youve been quite helpful. I did everying it said and i can still only send them and not receive them it says message to be downloaded has expired or the screen will light up and nuthing will heppen.
Try to also check the other settings for say how much you set to download, from who and so fourth.
MMS do expire after a while if the person you sent it to can't view them.
If it lights up and does nothing, it could be that it is trying to send it again, or is trying to receive or sending out again and managed to do so.
well the max size i can make my message size to is 100 not 200 mabe thats got something to do about it. also when i hit send/recaive its just says errror syncronizing.

Every body gets the error when pressing send\recieve as the service is automatic there is no need to ever press that.
same here..
Mine is doing the same thing..Tmobile..reflashed last night to Kavana, manually put in all settings (mms / proxy). Phone sends MMS fine but will not receive them. Phone lights up when receiving MMS but never comes through. I will manually send/receive, and occasionally I see the envelope flash up with the down arrow, but it usually does nothing after that point...
I am also getting an 'Info' alert - Unable to receive your message(s). Your message(s) notification(s) will remain in your Inbox. - Press OK.
Hope I am not hijacking your thread, just sounds like we are having very similar issues.
yeah its seems like were just missing something small

Cannot select an APN set to use MMS without Data

Last week, my Nexus S bricked up on me, so I sent it off for repair and got a shiny new Galaxy S2 (T989D, from Koodo.)
I can't really afford a data plan in addition to cell and texting service, so on my Nexus (even with ICS installed) I edited my APN type to only include mms (I think the two I got rid of were "default" for internet, and "supl" which I think was for GPS or some such.)
However, on my S2, when I try to edit the APN settings, I cannot change the default APN for some reason. I can however add a new APN, but when doing so, I have 3 options for APN type, "Internet + MMS," "Internet," and "MMS." When selecting the first two, everything works fine, and I can select my custom APN information.
However, when choosing "MMS" by itself to prevent data charges, I save the APN, and when I try to select it, there is no ability to do so. I can't link a screenshot, but I attached one that demonstrates what I'm talking about. The two Internet APNs can be selected, but the MMS ones have no selection circle (finding this image makes me feel like I'm missing something.)
Next to any APN I set to MMS only, regardless of any other information in any other field, there is no selection circle. All I have to do to get one is set the APN type to "Internet + MMS" or "Internet," and it will appear and I can select it as normal. If it matters, I have root access.
Apologies if I'm missing something obvious, or if this is a common question. I've searched all over the internet, tried many different strings in this specific forum, and given a quick search in the T989 development forum, to no avail. I'm going to call my provider (Koodo) tomorrow, but I figure they'll just act dumb if they aren't. I'd really like to be able to send picture messages but cannot afford a data connection, so any help that could be provided would be greatly appreciated!
EDIT: I think this would be better off in the Q&A forum, apologies if so, I cannot see a way to send it there now.
I have the same problem with my Nexus S. It almost seems as they don't want us using just MMS alone. For example you can't change APN settings programmatically with ICS and it doesn't seem to allow an APN type of MMS only!?
Wait I think I just figured it out! Yeah!
I had in the APN type just mms but when I put mms, (comma) it gave the the option to choose it!

[AOKP] Receive MMS Fix

Search is down so I can't tell if this was posted to another thread, and I am new so I can't post directly in the "[ROM] AOKP(Jellybean 4.1.2)Task & Ktoonsez (11/12) (AT&T/Rogers)" thread..
A few of us were having issues receiving text pictures (MMS), even though we could send them. I was able to fix it for myself, the issue is the phone number isn't set for the phone:
- Go to Phone - settings
- Tap Additional settings
- Tap "My Phone Number"
- Set your phone number in the format +1-212-555-1212 (Country code, full phone number)
- Tap OK
- You should now be able to receive MMS.
Thanks

EDIT* It just says downloading forever. When I first changed it I was given an option to DL it, but now its stuck.
EDIT2* Turned-off auto-retrieve, now working.
What I did to fix this download issue (my phone number was already setup properly)
1. In the text client go into the settings and make sure all the boxes to auto retrieve texts are checked especially the retrieve while roaming.
2. In the apn's in the Wap.Cingular one delete default from apn type (make sure to save)
3. Under the Pta apn add hipri to the list in apn type.
4. Have friends send you mms text to test. You shouldn't be getting anymore text lost in the matrix.
Since I did this I've had no trouble getting mms.

Fixed
Method in OP worked for me. Im on CM10 so guessing would work for all AOSP roms.
THANK YOU!!!! the op's method worked for me also
Just found this. I'm still having problems getting Mms even doing all of the above so I thought I'd update this thread with this link to this thread from a bell user

[Q] MMS APN problems

I can't seem to find a fix for my MMS. I went from Sprint to Page Plus with my Epic Touch 4g. Everything works fine, web, apps, youtube, etc. However I cannot send or receive pic messages or long texts. I have tried manually inputting the verizon APN settings but they won't take and I am still not able to figure it out. Is there any package I can install to just take care of this crap? Every time I manually change it within a ffew hours I get an error message and my settings switch back to Sprint settings. I ask about a package because I saw that in one of the settings in the ##data# menu there is a APN selection and in there it has Sprint as the one and only option. I'm curious if I can install Verizon settings and remove sprint or at least have the option to switch in that menu. I also tried installing go sms and that also did not work. Please help, it is annoying having to email pictures back and forth in order to send pics and big messages.
