I was finding older posts on MMS problems wanted to find help for the ending 2012 year.
I was using Reloaded ROM for a while and pictures where being sent and received, no problems.
The Backstory
One contact would send a MMS no text just the picture and my phone would received it but would not download.
I tested with friends in state and out of state to make sure it was not on my end. Their pictures arrived and downloaded as normal so I blew it off as just this one contact's service.
Past weekend, MMS were received but not downloaded to the point that I would send one to myself it would say sent, but never received period.
Road to recovery.
Starting fresh.
Unrooted, currently on
Android 2.2
Baseband
2.15.00.11.19
::The Goal::
Pictures sent by myself to myself; and by others to me are sent, received, and downloaded successfully. :good:
Rootcheck app says I'm not rooted. :crying:
No firmware to be updated.
Profile updated
PRL update.
HTC update "4.24.651.1" I'll download it
Sprints been having a lot of issues with SMS /MMS lately. I believe part of the issue has to do with the Hurricane on the East Coast knocking out a bunch of towers. Then Sprint having to reroute a lot of services. You could call Sprint and have them Reset your Data. Just make sure your on Sense Rom, with working ESPT when you call them.
This won't help you get the messages back, but Google Voice works really well if you have it installed. Even if you don't use it for messages, it will store all of them on your account and recover them when you sign in on a new rom

Using APN backup and restore may help as well.

email a pic to (your number)@pm.sprint.com and it should send that pic to your messaging
I had a similar issue with miui and that fixed my problems
if it doesn't send to you or comes back with an error then sign up at https://pictures.sprintpcs.com/login.do?cp=login
not trying to push it on you, just thats what worked for me
just tried both youe methods and no good. if i try to mms a photo its stays on "sending..." and if i receive a mms picture i have to download it and it stays on "downloading".
can you view the mms at the picturemail site?
Yeah but can't I just receive the picture directly to my phone?

I had my e4gt fully flashed to metro pcs about two months ago when it was running gingerbread.... I saved all my files and apps onto a SD card. I decided to upgrade to ICS. Knowing my MMS might not work. So know I'm running the goodness FH13. I transferred the android messaging app 2.3.7 and my MMS works. But my problem is I'm running the roms messaging and it only let's me send receive Texs. To get Mms I need to use my old android app. I can't get into the settings of the 2.3.7 . It fore closes my phone. It doesn't show the callers name only #. But the other tex app shows names. What can I do just to use one texting app? Sounds confusing but that's how I'm set up as of right now. I'm a noobie and scared to mess with it. Because it all works :what:

So I looked through the forums and didn't see the problem I am having. I am using GoSMSPro on my rooted S3 and when I text one of my friends who is using ATT I get her replies from a totally different number. I wasn't sure who it was at first so I texted the number back and a different lady replied saying she didn't text me. Long story short I have already been to a Sprint store with no luck, but now when i text my friend not only are the replies coming in from a different number but my texts to her are showing a number that's not mine. Any ideas as to what is going on?? Thanks in advance.

Re: S3 Text Message Issues
I would suggest going back to unrooted stock jellybean and see if the problem exist.
If it does it's either Sprints problem or a ATT issue.
Does it happen with all numbers or just 1 person?

No only happens with this one number... I text a 215 number and get a reply from a 267 number, I am texting from a 618 number but it shows as a 801 number.....

Did you try using the stock messaging app to see if it's not an app issue? It sounds like a network issue, however
Tried using the stock messaging app this weekend and still got the same weird numbers
Re: S3 Text Message Issues
Try un installing the Gosms app. Then wipe data on your stock messaging app (make sure you use some back up app to save any messages you need to save) then reboot the phone and test it using the stock messaging app. I think this will clear your problem.

Is the person in your contacts?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Yes the person I am texting is a contact. The random number i get with her reply is not a contact.
Re: S3 Text Message Issues
As long as your contacts are synced to Google try wiping cache and data for contact app. I had a goofy issue like that once and that took care of it

Nice, put "SOLVED" in your thread title please (edit the first post and you have this option) so that others who have issues can solve it
So I updated to jellybam 6.7 after having 6.5 already installed and now my mms will not send pictures. Text will send just fine. I tried to stop the program and clear data/cache, then I tried to reboot into recovery and fix permissions. Both did not work. It is on android 4.2.2 please help:crying:
I had what sounds to be the same issue when I had the original evo. No matter what rom I had flashed I could not send a picture message. I had even unrooted it and still couldn't send them. I downloaded go messenger or some other messenger and had no issue. I ended up taking it to the sprint store to get it checked. I found out something went bad and the phone could no longer send an mms with the stock messenger. They ended up replacing my phone. My suggestion is take it to a sprint store and have them check it. Your phone could be doing what my evo was doing.

It might have to do with your APN settings. You can try the FIX I posted a while ago. Here ifs the link:

MMS not working
Hi, I received my device a few weeks ago, direct from T-Mobile as a replacement, and immediately used the motochopper method on my mac to gain root on my SIII with LTE. I am not running any custom roms. Yet I cannot send a MMS message. It just spins forever; trying to send. I have verified that my micro SIM card works properly and my device has the correct APN settings according to T-Mobile USA (I have tried both fast.t-mobile.com and epc.tmobile.com without any luck). I have uninstalled AdAway and turned off CPU Tuner, LBE Privacy Guard, and Lookout. The only other rooted apps I have installed are BusyBox, SuperSU, Greenify, AutoKiller Memory Optimizer, Mobile ODIN, ROM Manager, SystemHelper, Titanium Backup, Delayed Lock, and Voodoo OTA RootKeeper. Is there an app that can assess my configurations to determine what is causing the MMS failure? I do not believe the device is faulty. I tried using Go SMS Pro and Handcent SMS with out any luck as well. Thanks in advance!
I would start over. Back up your important data and factory reset (you wont lose root). I have a feeling it may have something to do with one or more of the apps you just listed, like LBE, auto killer, etc or possibly a combination of them. Start completely clean and test if you can send/receive normally. If so, install one app at a time testing each one.
If it continues w/o any apps installed, then call T-Mobile and ask them to reset your account. See if they have any ideas if that doesnt work. Id also replace the sim at a T-Mobile store. Theyll swap for free if yours could be faulty.
