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.

I'm on T-Mobile but it's weird cause before I was able to send them. But until Wednesday I tried to send one and it said it failed. I rebooted the phone and cleared cache and dalvik and it still didn't work

Yes, I am on AT&T....seems like a GNex issue though.

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.

So I have the international Version of the HTC ONE X on the AT&T Network. For some reason when I go to send messages sometimes it works and then other times it just says "unable to send message". I do notice the signal going to 3G then it says H and then Edge. I'm pretty new to the android ordeal so not sure of what to expect. Can anyone help me out? I also rooted the phone and used a few roms but it didn't help. I am back on the stock rom which I made a backup of. Any ideas? Anyone else having problems with sms and mms on AT&T with the HTC ONE X.

Apn issue I think. You probably didn't add the apn needed for mms.
Google att apn mms

Hey!!! I did put the ATT APN. Looked at a few Youtube videos also just to make sure I am on the right path and they all seem to use the same ATT apn. I restarted phone a few times and put airplane mode to shut off the signal then turn it on just to try like a reset that way and nothing. Sometimes it works and messages go through and sometimes it doesn't work. Makes me loco lol thanks for writing.
does at&t have this enabled on their end? for some it was a matter of going to at&t and having it straightened out.
I did call ATT and they asked for the IMEI of the phone. I gave it to them and they told me everything was "provisioned" and should work well. I did use APN settings. I restarted the phone thinking maybe that could be an issue but it did not work. Any other ideas?
you could try downloading another app like handcent, which gives you a little more control over settings (including much larger mms size) than the resident app and try to use that as a way of double checking the problem. i'm on at&t prepaid with an int'l one x and don't text much. but when i got on the network, i sent a couple of texts and mms just to see if the service was working well. seemed to be fine for me.
btw, is your micro-sim new from at&t or maybe transferred from an iphone? some former iphone users who transferred sims have reported problems with texting/email. i think they had to make sure their iphones were wiped first before transferring the micro-sim over.
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

mine is a sprint phone
its hit or miss, i got a mms yesterday and it downloaded right away
the day before that i couldn't download any mms i got
always on 3g with good service
So I am now on my second replacement phone. With the first phone my proximity sensor and brightness sensor wasn't working, now I believe I may have radio issues.
I have been searching and have seen mostly wifi issues but no 4G issues. I'm experiencing both and nothing here seems to help.
With my 4G ( LTE here yet) it will say it's connected with 3 or 4 bars but will not pull or push data. The 4G icon gets to work but the browser sends back an error saying that it's not connected when I of course have decent service and can still text and call. Of course turning wifi on fixes the issues but then the wifi continues to disconnect and reconnect etc.
It does this on stock, and the insomnia rom.
I've tried flashing the different official radios also with no luck.
I've dealt with different tiers of AT&T technical support twice for the replacement and current, they said my imei number was incorrect (for both) and a few settings since I ported from T-Mobile (They even entered my phone number wrong during the porting at AT&T), the AT&T guy did a few things over the phone and it sped up my data which was incredibly slow at first but still had the random connected no push pull data issue which requires me to restart my phone or when that doesn't work a battery pull. This happens multiple times throughout the day.
Also no service outages in my area as said by AT&T They will call me back tomorrow to waste another 3 hours of my day with worthless troubleshooting.
Should I go back to AT&T label this as another DoA and try another S3 device?
Is there a simple fix?
Could someone point me in the right direction please!
I'm still in my 30 day return period and if the quality of experience doesn't improve for me with AT&T I would like to just get the T-Mobile version, I don't have much time left though so please help!
Thanks,
Mars
Seems to be data issues that involve flashing ROMs.
Did lte work before you flash and rooted the gs3
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Well I flashed my a rom on to my S3 for the first time today to see if it would help but it seemed to make things worse and when I did get data to finally work it was very slow So i switched back to stock. This was even happening a bit before I rooted

just received my replacement and the phone is functioning correctly. They gave me a new sim card also. The phone is noticeably faster data as well basic usage. Will report back. Not sure if it was the phone or my SIM though
I had the same issue.. I could talk and text but no data. I called customer service and the guy noticed I didn't use the lte SIM that came with the phone. Apparently you MUST use the lte SIM! Hope this helps!

did you have no data? or would you have random hang ups.. like it shows that you have 4G but it doesn't push or pull data?
Have you tried APN settings
Have you tried adjusting your APN settings? It can be an issue more so when flashing ROMS. I had that issue as well when I first got my phone.... Most of the time they will set by default but sometimes...not nav to settings>more settings>mobile networks>access point names and set it with these settings
Name: AT&T PTA
APN: pta
MMSC: h*t*t*p://mmsc.mobile.att.net***
MMS proxy: ***proxy.mobile.att.net***
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
APN type: internet+mms
Take out the *** under MMSC and MMS, Im new to posting and they wont let me post what they think is an outside link, leave everything else as is/blank and see if that helps.
Also if your not on stock rom try fixing premissions in CWM
on APN type: I've got this: default,supl,mms . I don't have 'internet'. I've also seen 'hipri' in APN settings before, on my older devices I had rooted and flashed (running stock ATM, just got the phone a couple days ago and trying to see how much I actually used root).
Default,supl,mms is actually fine... that should be a working APN I just saw someone had internet+mms and could not change it so wanted to make sure. When you rooted did you flash a recovery like CWM?

Hi all -
I have a strange problem. I cannot receive MMS messages from AT&T subscribers. I can get them from Sprint, Verizon and T-Mobile people but not ATT. I have Net10, running thru ATT. My APN is correct, and I get internet, and MMS from most people, but this is frustrating the heck out of me and I cannot figure this out. Seems so odd to only not get them from one carrier, which happens to be the carrier I'm on. Once upon a time, I did receive them. I was running an AOSP rom, switched to another one, and now went back to stock via Odin. Tried on the MB4 one, nope....now running MD1, still no. Has anyone ever heard of this? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Hey I just gave my d2tmo to my friend who has att service. Before I gave it to him I put it back to stock and unlocked it uusing a method I found here. Oh and I updated it.to the latest 4.3. When I put his sim in it worked fine it says att in the drop down menu and it has the singular apn. The data works the phone calls work but text did not. So I did sone googleing and checked the apn settings. It turned out I had to set the mms port.to it. After that the texts worked to my phone which is the note 2 but he says that he can't text his girlfriend who has att iphone. So does anyone know what could be causing this? I saw that another thing I can try is to change the mms port to 8080. I dont.know.if.that will work.
You can try and install the most updated modem and see if that's the case, for my AT&T GS3 I went from 4.1.1 (Unlock Method) to 4.3 and when I flashed the modem it had everything working on T-Mobile

That's another idea that I thought of. But I was explaining the situation to a friend and then it dawned on me. He had an iPhone so he probably has an iPhone data plan. He probably has to call att and switch it to an android plan. I know tmo's iphone, blackberry and android data plans are different so I bet that's the issue.
