Been having this problem since the Jellybean OTA - If I attempt to text a photo to someone, either from a webpage or my gallery, it sticks on "sending" and never goes through. On one occassion, I just left it and about 8 hours later, it sent. I understand I can't do it on wifi, but even if I turn off wifi, delete, and send it again, it just sticks on sending. Having this problem with either Handscent or the stock texting app - both will do it.
Anyone know a fix to this?
Try updating your prl and profile. Also make sure you have 3g (data) turned on. And turn off auto-retrieve in message settings (this just helps with receiving mms messages - then you download the picture manually.)

Hey, so I did the Simple OTA Root then followed that with the stock root by whiteslack. Everything is working perfectly fine but I cannot receive any MMS/Picture mail. I can send MMS out however. I always get a message saying downloading....
Is there something that breaks this in that root? Or is there an apk available to re enable mms downloading..? Under my settings for messaging/connection settings my MMS proxy says not set and MMS port says not set also..
Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated
BUMP this up top please
Just some very general help here.
First, are you running a custom rom or a stock rooted?
Second, try a PRL and Profile update from: Menu-Settings-System Updates, then choose Update profile and Update PRL
Third, Go to your messaging app (if you are using stock) go to: Menu-Settings, and make sure that auto-retrieve is selected. Also on this screen, Select: Connection Settings. and see what it says under MMSC
I am running the Stock Rooted 1.47.651.1
I just did the PRL and the Profile update
Under connection settings I have
Name - Production
MMSC - http://mms.sprintpcs.com
MMS Proxy - (not set)
MMS Port - (not set)
MMS Protocol - WAP 2.0
and auto retrieve is checked
Still getting same download error but I can send just fine
Turn off wifi.
Why do you think Wifi would affect that? I am turning it off tho and then updating PRL and Profile again
Then again I was able to get a MMS as a slide show from a contact I have that is connected or linked to facebook..testing something now
Ok Weird so I took a phone and sent a MMS to my google number and got the pic/slideshow
let me try to turn of google voice and see what happens
WIFI does not support MMS, you need to be on 3g or 4g for MMS.
Google voice does not support MMS either.
Very True, but Wifi also does not support SMS either but regardless even with Wifi on, the phone should know. But the issue is happening with Wifi off, I work at Apple and support iPhones so I know how to troubleshoot but I swear I took an iPhone 4 and text a MMS to my phone number and got the error downloading, then I text an MMS to my google number and got the picture.....turning off google voice now
Were you holding the iPhone 4 in the lower left hand corner?
Grab some duct tape.......
Google only supports text, no SMS or MMS. That is why many people have not 100% transitioned to Google Voice.
HAHHAHAHAHAH!!! Hey I said I work their and support but I do have an EVO!! lolol Not iPhone
Glad you saw the humor and didn't take offense.
Using the stock messenger, if you text a picture to your phone number, you should receive it without issue.
I have never been able to receive MMS or SMS through my google number.
If I turn on wifi, and try to send myself a picture, it doesn't receive the picture until I turn off wifi.
In the standard messaging app, there is a setting for Auto-Retrieve under MMS. Make sure that is on.
Resolved the issue. I turned off Google voice and I started getting my photos .. weird
Newly now all are coming in as slideshows.... normal? So if someone sends an emotion then I actually have to hit play..
Evo 4G
I searched the CM7 thread, but MMS and issue are such vague queries that I was unable to find anything pertaining to my issue.
I can receive MMS fine, but I cannot send at all. I choose the pic I want to send and hit send, and it just disappears. Doesn't show up in the thread of messages. Then when I back out of it, I see the last message I sent that person is (no subject) like it was my pic, but when I go into the thread it is not sent. But it shows up with the pic again like I never sent it. It saves it as a draft. Any time I hit send it does the same thing over and over. I can't even get the pic to delete from drafts. The only way is to delete the whole thread.
I have changed my number in the call settings to show with a +509251xxxx, no dashes or anything. Is there something else I am missing? I have tried several different CM7 builds and all have the same problem.
bump - really? Nothin guys?
Edit: reflashed CM7 and only restored apps+data, no system data and problem was resolved. I assumed since my system data was from a prior CM7 version that it would be no problem, apparently I was wrong. Thank me for all the help
I have the same issue. It doesn't disappear for me, but it just stays there wit the spinning circle thing. It never sends and after a couple of minutes, it says I cannot send the MMS.
Is there a solution without reflashing?
same problem.mine says mms is too large
I have the opposite issue. I've been completely unable to pin down the issue. I can MMS myself pictures and can MMS them to my email, but I cannot receive them. I used to receive them just fine, but now it's an issue.
I've confirmed that I can't receive them from iPhones, BlackBerries, and other Android phones.
I've checked my APN and know it works. I can access Mobile Data.
I've tried third party apps for messaging and that doesn't help.
I've spoofed as an iPhone, BlackBerry, and Custom (Blank) Agent without any results.
I've ensured my phone number in system settings doesn't have any symbols.
Anyone fix this issue?

Uhh, yeah that sucks: I have absolutely no idea, im on GingerVill 1.5 and it works fine, I also flashed sense, regular cm7, miui, and I never had a problem with it..
Try to download handscent or go sms and try that? I doubt that will work but give it a try!

I've got a similar issue -
Using CM7 7.0.3's Mms.apk my phone processes sms no problem, however it will not process mms - send or receive.
Go SMS Pro however will let me SEND picture messages - and Its going through my carrier because in an email to myself it was full of their crap - Sent to you from a Koodo Mobile Customer!
Unfortunately I cannot receive mms; Go SMS implies that it relies on the Mms.apk to forward notifications.
Considering that the Mms.apk isn't syncing with the mmsc properly, I'm assuming the problem lies there. I've even gone so far as to go to one of the phone kiosks and ask to play with their new Nexus S (*drool*) and ripped the apns off of it and uploaded their apn directly to my phone. Still, no dice.
Any suggestions anyone?
I've been having the same problems. Tried lots of things. I was also using Go SMS pro, and thought that was the issue. Tried fooling around with apn, user agent and MMS size etc... Nothing worked except the simple fix:
What I had to do to make it work was to have my mobile network on -- (which I almost always have off from the notification switches). Once it was turned on, it still didn't kick over because I was connected to wifi. So I had to manually disable wifi and then resend the message. It worked fine then.
So:
Turn off wifi
turn on mobile / 3g
resend message
Seems like a simple bug that's keeping the mobile network from kicking on.
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.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium 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.
I'm on most recent firmware and most recent CM10.1 nightly and suddenly MMS pics will no longer send. It tries to send but then fails with messages "message not sent" and "service not activated on network"
This has never happened before and happened all the sudden yesterday. I had sent one pic that did work, then a few minutes later I tried another and it failed in this manner, as have all further attempts. I even deleted all of my sms/mms messages thinking there was something wrong with the messaging program. No help. What it APPEARS is happening is that instead of the program sizing the images down to an attachment-friendly size, it is trying to send the full ~2MB jpegs and it would seem that is too big for MMS. But if this is the case, I have no idea why it would have started doing this all the sudden.
Is there anything in the messaging or gallery programs that I can reset or refresh that might help this?
Thanks

If you can send a SMS (simple text message) then all you need to do is have your provider take you out, and then reinsert you into the network. SOMETIMES, sending a picture to yourself after a battery removal boot can get things going too.....
You also could try the basic and use app manager and clean out the cache of whatever app you're using to send the MMS msg, and retry it. Remember, the MMS takes a while longer to send vice the SMS transmission.
Good Luck!
Ever since I have had this LG G3, it seems for no reason at all, at times, it will sit there and spin saying "sending" when I send a text. Happens sometimes when sending email as well using LG's built-in email. Tried rebooting, turning on or off wifi, have a good LTE connection at the time, but no dice. Just sits and spins saying sending. And usually eventually fails sending. Other times it sends immediately. I never know if I hit send if the SMS is going to be sent or not. It's quite frustrating. My wife and I are on the same provider (Rogers) and when this happens with my phone, I grab her Note 4, try sending out a text and boom, instantly sent.
I'm running stock 5.0.1. Two mods, CTT and Trickster. I have checked APN's and they are identical to my wife's Note 4.
Does anyone have any idea what else I could try to make the SMS and email sending more reliable?
Another strange thing. The stock messaging app doesn't show any messages. I have deleted them all. I installed Textra to see if sending messages was any better and there are about 10 voice mail message texts sitting in there. These are the notification I get when I get a voice mail. I had called Rogers before and asked if I could turn these redundant text messages off and they said I didn't have that option set on my account?? Not sure where they are coming from then. I do get the voice mail icon notification as well when I get a voice mail.
I deleted all of the messages, closed Textra and reopened, only to find all the texts had returned. WTF? I deleted them again, same thing. Tried cleaning cache and data for both the stock messaging app as well as Textra, same problem. Perhaps these messages are interfering some how with sending/receiving texts? I changed my phone number on this phone recently as I was getting a bunch of non-wanted calls and thus all these voice mails. Could these be left over from the previous number? Not sure why I can't delete them permanently. Man, what a pain.
