every since i got my GN it has had trouble sending or receiving MMS, doesnt matter if i'm on 3g or wifi
i have tried clearing the cache and force closing, this works about 20% of the time
anyone know of a fix for this?
From what I've experienced and know, you can't only send/receive MMS through 2g/3g, NOT wifi. MMS is a carrier based service, which is why it won't work on wifi. Some roms have the ability to download on Wi-Fi though, don't know of any here, but quite a few on the G2x.
Anyways, how long do you give it to send/receive till you decide that its a "failure"? It would also help to disable "auto retrieve" in the Messaging app.

This issue is most likely related to the apn settings provided by your carrier. I had this issue too, and found out on two separate carriers that I needed data on one, even though it said I didn't. On the other carrier, I just had the APN settings wrong, and that my current carrier allows MMS through 3g data without charging for it.

+1. This.
You need to verify your MMS APN settings with your carrier.

So I need to call sprint and say "I need to verify my mms apn settings?
Or is this something on my phone?
On your phone.
Settings >> More >> Mobile networks >> Access point names
You can probably find the correct settings on Sprints website somewhere or by googling Sprint APN

I flashed my Xperia PLAY last night, with a UK .ftf. I originally had a US .ftf (or I assume, I live in canada). It's asking if I'm on Rogers or Fido whenever I try to use my data network and it didn't before I flashed it. I don't seem to get 3G network anywhere, except very few places in my town, when I used to get it everywhere. I'm not sure if coincidentally the Rogers 3G networks are down or not. I'm downloading a supposed "rogers branded 2.3.3" .ftf, hoping it solves this. I just want to know if the reason I'm not getting 3G is because I flashed with a UK .ftf?
Oh, the reason I flashed was because my Xperia PLAY somehow bricked itself. I hadn't done any modding or root attempts whatsoever before this. I had only learned of flashing yesterday.
If you haven't set your APNs yet, you'll need to do so. Generic UK didn't get a 3G signal before I did that. APN settings are in Settings > Wireless Controls > Mobile Networks.

Ah thank you, that fixed it. I have a question though, I found on the internet the APN settings for 3G and for MMS. However I can't enable both. Or does the 3G one include MMS?
To be honest, I'm not sure. MMS on my phone has always been hit or miss. I think the 3G APN works for both.

Hm, alright. Thanks for the help!
There's two sets of settings floating around out there. One has both Data and MMS. The other has two, one for data and one for MMS. Only the data one of the two needs to be selected. MMS will just work.

When I get MMS from T-Mo users it shows up, but when I go to look at it the message is blank. Has happened from many T-Mo users but no other carrier.
Anyone have ideas?
I tried different roms, messaging apps, broadbands and apn settings, no work.
If you have ideas keep them coming even if I don't test....will test tomorrow....don't want to keep bothering ppl all night.

Who's your carrier, AT&T? My friend is experiencing the same issue. At least, I think it's the same. I'm on T-Mo and he never gets my MMS.
I tried putting the different APNs in his phone as well. I'm honestly not sure, either.
Wife and I are on tmo and I can't get any of the dumb ass mms that she sends me.
I take it as a blessing really.

The T-Mo users I know can send them but it just comes in as a blank 1KB MMS.....
No one has any idea here.....or can we at least get people to confirm they CAN get MMS from T-Mo users...
Mine does this sometimes. Im on sprint
Im pretty sure this is a gnex issue between tmobile and ATT, Switching my sim into a tmobile branded phone and it will send. Seems that all other providers receive my MMS though. I can receive an MMS from a Gnex on ATT to my Gnex on Tmobile. Im thinking its something to do with the user string of the Gnex and tmobile not knowing what it is.
I can send MMS to any one except people on AT&T. My best friend has an Xperia Play 4G on AT&T and my pictures just shows up as a white box. I'm using T-Mobile

I started having an mms issue on T-Mo recently. Fixed it by resetting the apn settings (the only thing that seemed to change was the ipv6 changed back to ipv4 - i believe you are supposed to have separate apns for data and mms)
Pull up the apn list, hit menu, then reset to default...
No one has any ideas about this ? I'm pretty pissed off now because I called AT&T and they basically said since it non-AT&T your screwed.......
and can we please get an AT&T user to confirm receiving MMS from T-Mo using this phone?
Not using a G.Nexus, using an HTC Sensation with a CM9 variant. Just noticed that I'm only having trouble receiving MMS from TMO friends. I'll keep an eye on this thread to see if anyone has a fix
I should probably clarify that I do receive the message if there's text in it, my phone recognizes it as an MMS but there is no picture and the size is 1kb.
It's definitely the IPv6. I switch it on and MMSs won't come or go. I switch back to IPv4 (and reboot..grrrr) and MMSs send/receive fine. I have checked and cannot find anything in the APN settings that's supposed to fix it.
You have to set up two APNs on the T-Mo phone:
Ipv6 for data
Ipv4 for MMS
I'm in the same situation. I'm using GNex on AT&T. My friend has GNex on T-Mobile. I can receive text but no picture messages from him or anyone that has T-Mobile. Let's keep this thread going to find a solution.

I've given you the solution.
The guy with the T-Mo phone needs to tweak his settings...
even tried to change the apn. I have a Skyrocket on AT&T my brothers and girlfriend have T-mobile and they send me MMS but nothing comes through.
I know other people that have AT&T and they have I-phone and get all MMS messages from T-mobile.
I have an unlocked Nokia Lumia 900 from Rogers. As I'm sure most people here know, getting MMS to function on an unlocked [Nokia] Windows Phone can be a hassle. I've tried hard resetting my phone, changing the APN, etc, and so far I've had no luck whatsoever. Can someone guide me through a process that will enable MMS to work? It's fairly important considering the number of messages I send/receive every day...
Download Network Setup from the Nokia collection. That will configure MMS.
It's not available in Canada, for whatever reason.

Hi,
I had the same issue with Fido until another user on here helped me out. I called Fido and had them reset my data package. I believe the user called it re-provisioning. I have attached the link to the original thread. I just said I was having data issues which was not untrue because my data connection was extremely slow and that I had talked to someone who suggested reseting (re-provisioning) the data plan. After the re-provisioning the MMS started working and my Visual Voice mail (visiual voicemail through mms, not the windows phone as its not supported on Rogers from what I understand). In addition my data connection finally seemed to work correctly.
here is the link:

I'm trying to set-up MMS to work on T-Mobile USA. The problem is that the Network Setup app is missing some of the MMS APN settings fields, specifically, MCC, MNC and APN Type. Do you know of any way to work around this problem?

I don't know if u still care or not, but u can flash the Mexico's latest ROM (telcel or smth), you won't have LTE, but you'll have everything else functional (mms and tethering included)! And you'll also lose the rogers splashscreen... yay
Has anyone tried the Country Variant Mexico MX Black LTE V1???

Yes, I have. I tried both this one and the TelCel rom. Both of them allowed me to finally use internet sharing and MMS. I'm pretty sure LTE works on both roms too it is just shown as 4G instead of LTE and when you are on HSPA it shows H instead of 4G like with the stock Rogers rom (and probably AT&T too). When tethered and showing 4G as the connection on my phone, I have gotten 1.5 MB/s down and about 800 KB/s up so I'm pretty sure that's an LTE connection. When I went to the cellular settings and changed it to only use 3G data, I get about 150 KB/s down and 80 KB/s up.
Am I blind or did they vanish? I go to SETTINGS --> MORE --> MOBILE NETWORKS, and I have 4 options... Data Enabled, Data Roaming, Network Mode, and System Select. Isn't this where one previously would have found APN settings? Are they somewhere else now? I've searched like hell and haven't found any mention of them being moved.
Aren't APN's a GSM thing? I'm not sure if you'll see that on a VZW CDMA device. On that screen on my GSM phone I also have Access Point Names

Well that would explain it. Why am I thinking you had to add APN info for MMS on a Verizon device though? Perhaps I'm confusing myself.

Open Voice Dialer and say "open apn settings" and bam, your in. And us CDMA users do have and use these settings for adding MMS settings if necessary.

Another VZW GNexer here. I absolutely cannot send MMS any more. Tried using voice to access the old apn settings menu, no luck. I can manually go into /system/etc/apns-conf.xml or /system/build.prop without issue and can access all apn-related text, but am not quite sure how to go about tackling the problem from there (wouldn't want to change the wrong setting).
I've done a bit of searching, and haven't quite found a solution that works for me on 4.2.1...
***Update***
Turns out, the issue was related to Handcent. No apn editing required. Go figure...

My phone doesnt take a sim
So I just got the phone yesterday, and I noticed that data on it didn't work, but calling and texting did. My data plan is under Rogers, so I went to a Rogers Wireless store, and they couldn't make data work, as it apparently couldn't connect to their APN. I was wondering if this was a software issue, where it wouldn't accept an APN from any service provider, or if the phone just doesn't work with Roger's data specifically?
Also, if anyone in BC has gotten the data working on their Red Magic 5G, how did you do that, and what's your service provider?
Try again. Im on Videotron in Quebec, took me several tries to finally to get to save the apn. Roaming data for Videotron is on Rogers network. Tested and working in Ontario.
Although, carriers in BC might use other lte bands. ?
Working without any hassle or need to setup the APN configuration with Public Mobile on their LTE network.
There were some mentioning the APN setup page isn't clear, especially is you're using dark mode.
Rogers APN settings should be readily available so you can edit/input yourself.
Edit: found this:

You need to use an app called MyNewAPN to add the APN settings. For whatever reason you can't do it through the APN menu.
