My phone refuses to send and receive mms messages when on 3G. It doesn't matter what ROM it is, they simply won't send or receive. It says "sending..." And doesn't do anything, or "Download" and doesn't do anything. I can't ever view it or send it unless I'm on wifi. Any ideas as to why?

Have you tried a different modem? Try updating PRL and Profile in settings and Rebooting. Im on EL29 And it works fine.

I recently loaded CM7 RC2 onto my girlfriends EVO. I wiped everything before hand. She always sends me pictures but every time I try sending her a picture she never receives it. I've tried sending pictures to multiple people and they all receive it. Is there some kind of issue with CM7 and MMS? If so how can it be fixed. I updated the PRL this past weekend.
Well is your 3G, you should have it on when sending/receiving mms messages or it'll take painfully long to send/receive, or not at all.
Her 3G is always on. I don't ever turn it off.
What messaging app are you using?
if you send her text with the picture msg, does she get the text and not the picture?
Shes using handcent. She doesnt get either text or picture. Ill try this weekend using the stock messaging app.

In her receive settings, does she have auto-retrieve on?
Not sure, she cant receive pictures from others either. I'll take a look this weekend and post back if I can't figure it out.
For some reason I can't seem to send mms picture mail...I'm using cyanogen 7 and it doesn't say that the messages fail to send ..they just stay in sending status forever...I've been trying to send a few pictures for a couple weeks now.I've trying resending ,forwarding and nothing seems to get them to send.I've also tryied sending them with the stock messager and handcent but they both do the same results...I still have some trying to send from over 2 weeks ago and I've deleted the rest...if anyone know what's causing this any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated

Your MMS Server might have the wrong address or something. Tell me something, are you able to send regular text message without a problem or does that result into an endless wait too? If you're not able to send text messages either then you're going to have to flash into a sense rom preferably Sprint Lovers ROM and go to the dialer and press ##DATA#, once you press that you should be prompted for a code which will be your MSL....if you don't know your MSL then go to the market and download MSL reader....get your MSL and retry the ##DATA#.....once you enter your MSL then you should see a black screen with about 4 or 5 menu entires....go into Advanced and scroll down to where it say MMS Server and make sure it says http://mms.sprintpcs.com.....if it doesn't say that then that was your problem....reboot and re-flash CM7.
No I don't have any problems with SMS. But I will try the process you stated ... I had to do pretty much the same thing to get my 3g to work on my custom roms so I get the jist of the steps ..ill post my results once I set it up. Thank you for the help

Did you have your 3g on? Won't work on wifi, but works on 3g. 3g has to be on before you begin to send.
Fixed it! thanks

On the stock rom it would send and receive mms on 2g, 3g, and 4g, now it wont even send or receive on 4g.
Got my Galaxy Nexus today (LTE/CDMA version) and I've been able to get all the different functions working except for being able to text. I can make calls, download, upload, sync, etc. I rooted it initially, but before that I couldn't send any texts either. Right now I have the Peter Alfonso Toro IMM30B (4.0.4 stock Rooted) version running on my phone. I've tried turning off WIFI, turning off the 4g, putting it on airplane mode and back on, removing the battery, turning off and on the mobile data, and trying different 3rd party apps but still no luck in getting texts to send.
Bump for help, I really need it
Had this on Galaxy S - This might work: search play for 'Nitratility' and download it. Then click 'restore efs' - Don't know if this will help but worth a try

@OP SMS and MMS work very differently.
If your MMS is not working, it is likely because you have not set the right APN. Go to Settings>More>Mobile Networks->Access Point Names and make sure you have right right apn for Verizon mms set in there.
If your SMS is not working, it is likely due to the SMSC number being messed up. See the radio thread in the general section. There should be a link in the first post that tells you how to get the right smsc number and enter it.

Ive seen a few threads about this, as well as several on the TMo boards and other boards about people not being able to send or receive MMS over wifi after the ICS update. I also had this issue and called TMo. I spoke to their 2nd level support, and the solution per Samsung is first send a picture to yourself via gmail (the gmail acct associated with your phone) while on wifi. After you receive it, you should be able to send and recieve MMS over wifi from there on out.
It worked for me, so I thought Id share with you. I cant speak for custom ROMS as Im on stock rooted.
edit: the symptoms I was having was I would send an MMS, and it would sit at sending. If I received an MMS, I got the notification of a new text with a download button. Hit that, and it sits at download. FYI I just checked my wifes SGS2 and she's on Darkside 2.7 and had the same issue. I perfomed the fix above, and now it works. So it appears this fixes the problem on GB as well.
Do you send the picture to yourself through a computer to gmail? Or using the phone to yourself?

Damn sorry guys...apparently its the Samsung fix and it worked on mine and my wifes phone...

bummer. wish this would have worked for me.
Sorry after the reboot, it didn't switch to 4g anymore..
For people who have 4g turn on just turn off mobile data in settings then do it

So just to make sure, do you send the email to your Gmail address through the messaging app or through the Gmail app? I would love to get my MMS working with the ICS update.
I have tried this several times, doesn't work for me. Any other suggestions?
It might be different for me as well because I am using Straight Talk (on tmobile network) but even if i enable WIFI Calling, it won't work and just shows error.

I got this to work. I repeated #3.
When sending the email, use the messaging app.

I have the same issue. For me at least the issue seems to be tied to GOSMS, i tried using HandcentSMS and it worked fine over wifi.
