when someone sends you a picture message, what exactly happens? do you get an error? blank screen in message, etc..?
No, I never get any message. No text or clue that they ever even sent a message until they text me to ask if I got the picture.

Sounds like a Sprint network error. Are you roaming? Do you have good 3G signal? Try updating Profile and PRL.
Here are some more questions...
Is the person sending you the MMS message on Sprint's network? If not, which network is he/she on? What phone is he/she using?
Also, is it only the same person who is sending you a MMS message? If it's multiple people, are they all on the same network? Same phone brand/OS?
ok... i've fixed this problem many times before. take the battery off of your phone.. leave it off for about 5mins. put the battery back in. boot phone up...update prl and profile. turn phone back off..leave it off for 2mins. then turn phone back on. this time send yourself 2 text and pic messages, see if you get them.
it's more of a network connection "hiccup" between your phone and the towers.
this should correct the problem. if it's doesn't, call sprint, and tell them to reset your data profile. tell them that you have already updated your prl.. then they will tell you to turn phone off then back on. you should be good to go.

what you have to do first...is a self network test. you have to see if the network is responding from your end first...then you know from there.
Tried your fix and it worked, thanks much Androidmaster. A guy I know who's a phone tech says it is a poor signal issue so I might have to do this repeatedly.:-(

I've used some ROMs where I could never use MMS, even with that fix. In that case I just had to use a different (or newer version of the same) ROM where it did work.

If the ROM had Sprintandroidextensions.apk removed MMS, voicemail and updating PRL will not work.

Hey guys, my friends evo won't recieve picture messages. She can send them, but never recieves them. She is currently using Go SMS Pro, but even on the stock app/handcent, etc. she still has no luck recieving them. Her phone is non-rooted btw. Any input to help her recieve pictures is greatly appreciated.
She just never receives them, or she is getting an error?

If it's not rooted just go the easy way and make Sprint fix it.
Go in a corporate store, they'll get on it.
Turn off Wifi.
MMS only works over mobile data.

Can't send mms on my HTC evo's
It seems this is a wide problem for EVO users. I've had this for some time now and just about had enough. Going to the store tomorrow to get it ironed out. Dialing 611 for help does NOT HELP! Bad enough I'm paying for 4G and can't get it in my area let alone not be able to send mms's.

By the way Chomp and Handcent does the same thing.
Got it to work by going to settings, Wireless&Settings, then turn on Mobile Networks. They sent as soon as I did that. No 3G required.
Are you using Google Voice?

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.

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

I've searched through quite a few threads all day, and found a fix that involved changing some APN values manually. Fixed MMS on 3G, but it still refuses to work while on WiFi. Any way to get it working on WiFi as well?
Oh, and yes, I have re-flashed to no avail.
EDIT 9/22: Now I can't receive or send out MMS messages. Tweaked my build.prop a bit ago, though I'm not sure that's the cause.
EDIT 9/23: Deleted cache and dalvik cache, now I can once again only send and recieve over 3G.
A harmless little bump.
Well I can't help you fix it on wifi. But I do believe that it actually just doesn't work on wifi. I'm sure that anytime I was ever on cm7/9 I had to connect 3g when I needed to send or receive a mms. So I think there's no way to really "fix" it, its just like that.

as far as mms, it will work obviously with 3g (which is data) but not required,
certain roms have toggles that u can turn off data,
but your network will be on, so you can recieve, make calls, send text n receive also.....
now if your doing picture mms then you need data,
and if u receive a picture mms while on wifi
it wont download <<<< my carrier explained that to me, when i first had this issue.

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.

Disable SMS to MMS Conversion
This modification disables the incredibly annoying "feature" that Samsung chooses to add to its messaging app, where any SMS message of a sensible length (ie. longer than 3 SMS messages) will be converted into an MMS message.
A brilliant idea for those who pay for each message they send, as 3xSMS is about the cost of an MMS, which can carry much more text. Unfortunately for Samsung, they're a few years too late here - most people don't pay for their SMSs individually any more. And they likely would need to pay to send an MMS.
Enter this modification, which lets you send long messages again without issue.
Attached is the LEGACY version of this plugin for Xposed API 2.0 RC2. DO NOT USE THIS VERSION. Use the up-to-date one in the download manager.

disable sms to mms conversion
Thanks all for help so far.
The Creation mode doesn't seem to make a difference. Reason I want it disabled is because my company don't allow MMS, so long SMS just change to MMS and fail to send! I was wondering why this guy hadn't replied to my text........
I have tried the Application, and it appears to install but makes not difference. Reading more it looks like I need to use that general Tweaking app, and that you need Root?
Please confirm, because I cannot root my phone as I need to use Good, and my company have Good set to not run on Rooted devices.
I'm really not bothered about having to use another app, as I already use Whatapp wherever I can to keep my SMS (which I have to get billed by text for) down, so would prefer not to have two seperate 'Text' apps, further to the core Android one, which I am generally pleased with?
Solutions appreciated... or, is there an app that brings all Whatapps, texts and Emails into one 'stream' that you can disable SMS to MMS on?
XDA rules...
The app needs xposed framework to run. You have to be rooted to install xposed but once installed and activated you can unroot again. I don't know of any way to disable the mms conversion without rooting first

You can use wannam xposed from the play store, it has this option in it. Sounds like a bad download though
