I can't send or download any mms I get.
I've rebooted
Fixed permissions
APN Fix
nothing works anyone got any other ideas?
I'm running Incredibly Re-engineered with stock everything but flashable themes
Same for me today: no MMS after flashing a rom.
Solved problem by *228, choice 1.
After it rebooted, a slew of messages showed up.
Tried that too, still nothing. I get the message fine, but it won't download over wifi or 3g nor can I send the messages
Hi all, I've recently upgraded to 2.3.3 and everything works fine except for one thing, I can't receive/Download MMS anymore. Everytime when someone sends me an mms, I get an notification and when I click on it, it just says something like 'cant download now, try again later error'.
I can send mms with no issues at all.
I did 2 things before this happened:
1. Flashed my phone to generic 1.81 on rom
2. Upgraded to 2.3.3 via OTA
I've also checked the settings for my mms apn and they are all good
any clues guys?

Try to delete the settings (APN) and redownload via the "Sony Ericsson" menu. Alternatively you might be able to do via the SIM Toolkit (it works for me, but might be different for different ISP/countries)
Hey thanks mate!! It worked!!

I know starting new threads is a risky thing here, but I feel my situation is peculiar/unique enough to justify the risk.
I've been running CM7 and using ChompSMS (donated) ever since using Android, many devices ago. This is the first time something like this has ever happened. A couple days ago, my phone stopped downloading MMSs. I can send myself a message (text with a subject) and the notification that the message is waiting for me will come in, but it will not download. I called Sprint and got the code to reprovision the phone, so I downloaded a stock rom and punched it in. The stock rom would download messages just fine. Switching back to CM7 (I tried multiple nightly builds, as well as the most recent stable build), the messages stopped coming in again. I googled all over the place and the best solutions I found was to delete "telephony.db" or to try "APN backup & restore," restoring the APN with settings that worked for somebody else. Every time I restored the APN, it would just remove all the entries. I tried to restore defaults (which brought back a "Sprint" one), reboot, no dice.
The only solution I've gotten to thus far was to download Go SMS Pro, which can download the MMS, after the notification has already come in and I go in to hit download manually. Yes, this gets the job done, but it's just a band-aid over the problem. I'm mostly curious just what exactly caused this, why it persists over every CM install (but not the stock rom), and why I can't seem to find any way to fix it.
A quick update to this, in case anybody has been keeping tabs. This problem spans across multiple roms. I've since installed an MIUI ICS rom, more versions of CM7, a very buggy version of CM9 ported, and another gingerbread rom, all of which kept the problem going. The only rom that works is the most recent rooted stock rom I downloaded. I REALLY don't want to go back to stock if I can help it. Any ideas now? Would flashing new radios help this? If so, I have to be S-OFF to do so, correct?
Thanks for all your help, those that do!
been having the save issue with MMS but I use Handcent not chompSMS, it also wont download using the Roms stock SMS app. it seems to happen on any ASOP rom that I've tried. but any sense based roms seem to work fine. goSMSpro also works for me if I manually hit download (thanks cause that's better than nothing). I have tried to flash new radios, along with flashing CM with a formatted mem car. and nothing seems to work. so If you find a resolution please keep this updated. good luck
I've been having the same problem for the past couple weeks with CM7. I've tried everything the Google suggested, changing the APN, turning off auto-retrieve, disabling MMS with Sprint and re-enabling it after a while, etc., nothing worked. I tried a few different roms too. I can't get MMS to work on any rom unless it's sense based.

Doing this won't cause any other issues? I really want to get this to work because I'm having the same issue on a CM7-based rom.

It says in the first post, we tried deleting telephony.db
Some of us have tried flashing multiple fresh roms, which I believe would delete telephony.db
Mms won't work unless it's a sense based rom.

I run into the same issue on Deck's Reloaded occasionally. More often than not, though, MMS works. Have never bothered troubleshooting it since it's hardly ever an issue.

Same problem
I'm having the same problem with CM7 on Evo 4G. I can get it to work with sense based rom and goSMS (thank you for posting that, I was about to bail on CM7 completely). Stock messenger and handcent won't work. I saw on another thread someone said it would work until flashing gapps, but I haven't tried that. I even tried backing up APN from a sense rom that would work, and restoring it to CM7, as well as deleting telephony.db, nothing works.
Yeaaahhh MMS can either go 1 of 2 ways. Either you try to get it to work and it works fine, like I just did on my evo, OR *nothing* you do seems to make it work.
I should know, I spent about 6 months earlier this year (on and off) getting MMS to work on my HTC Hero.
With that said, the first step is to make sure you're putting in the right APN info.
Start with deleting /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony*
Next, make sure you have the correct APN info in /system/etc/apns-conf.xml
You'll probably have to either sysrw in android terminal or "adb remount" on pc/mac/linux/whatever to make changes to that file.
This one should work on ICS/JB:
google sprint apns-conf.xml
Should be the last one, searchco.de
Just change the version to 6 if you want to use it on GB.
Reboot to make the system create a new telephony.db from /system/etc/apns-conf.xml
If that doesn't work, you may need more apn changes, framework-res.apk changes, mms.apk changes, etc. etc.
Currently my phone will only download mms that is 200kb or less with either the stock messaging app or handcent. I'm going to try some of the trouble shooting steps on this thread and see if anything works.
If anyone has a fix they know of that fixes this particular problem please let me know.

Oh wow.
Seems like a mission.
Im super lost w these directions.
I have deleted that telephony file.
Nothing works for me.
Its weird cuz when my girlfriend sends me panty pics, it works (she's on an iPhone)
But when my mom sends me pics of my dog, it doesn't let me download. (She has HTC evo 3g)
Im on cm7.2 nightly (newest) w Mason g .15 kernel.
I really don't get why this happens.
Also, another friend of mine has an iPhone 4s like my lady, but I don't get his pics

I am having this same problem. Flashed a Sense Rom and messages work fine but won't work on Cyanogen. I tried deleting the telphony.db and still nothing.

also adjusted the APN settings per these instructions....

Still not working. This is driving me nuts. I don't know what happened. I just lost the ability to receive MMS all of the sudden. Can anybody offer any help?
***quick update. downloaded Go SMS Pro and I can now receive MMS. WHAT GIVES??? Why can't I get them in the CyanogenMod SMS app?

My girlfriend is having the same problem as everyone else when it comes to MMS. She has my old Evo 4G running CM 7.1. I wiped the cache and dalvik cache, updated the PRL and profile with a sense ROM, but none of this fixed the problem. I can confirm that Go SMS Pro will download picture mail that neither the standard messaging app or Handcent could (they both gave the error "download of message New Message from SENDER was unsuccessful"). Hopefully a fix can be found soon. BTW, thanks for the tip omegastu!
Update:
This fixed my problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1794956
Hey all,
I've had mixed results when trying to get an APN that works. I'm running LiquidSmooth RC2 (4.2.2) and have had issues with sending MMS. I've tried both APN files that I have found on XDA for Sprint.
Thread number 1 (post #2):
File name: apns-20120808101544.xml
APN's included: 16 (only Sprint APNs)
Didn't work for me.
Thread number 2:
File name: sprint-mms-fixed-apns.xml
APN's included: 4 (only Sprint APNs)
Didn't work for me.
Neither of these two APN xml files worked for me.
When scouring my SDcard, I found an APN backup file that I had created (from the original filename, I had created it Feb 11th, 2013). I don't remember creating it or ever flashing it before, but I decided to try it out.
File name: Topherk's Fixed APN - 2013-02-11.xml
APN's included: 83 (A whole slew of carriers APNs)
Worked for me.
Now, when I started to look more carefully into the differences between these APNs, I started to get confused (as anyone who is first looking at APN files should!).
When comparing the apns-20120808101544.xml file with my "working file," the Sprint-related APNs were identical. Since I can send MMS on the working file and not the apns-20120808101544.xml file, it leads me to believe that I'm actually sending files through one of the other carrier's APNs. I don't even know if this is possible.
So I guess my "Fix" is working, but I don't really know why. You can try it if you like. Just follow the instructions in the first thread I linked.
Also, last thing, I haven't been able to find this 83-strong APN file anywhere on XDA. If someone has posted it before me, please let me know and I'll give them a proper link (I'm not trying to steal anyone's thunder).
I'm glad this worked for you and I'm not trying to debunk your method entirely I'm just saying this fix along with the other two did not work for me. The only thing that ended up fixing my problem was changing LTE/CDMA/EvDo to CDMA/Evdo auto I ended up restoring my original APN just for safety

No worries. The MMS issue with 4.2.2 is really finicky and different fixes work for different people/phones (that's why I had the ? in the title). I'm glad you got your phone working. Thanks for adding what worked for you, it really helps when people are searching for solutions (hopefully people do searches!).
I'd also like to add that I followed advice in another thread that said to do a clean flash of LiquidSmooth (It was on the LiquidSmooth ROM thread, so I can't say it'll work for your ROM) and it actually worked! MMS is sending just fine and I restored all my data with TIBU, however I skipped the file with the name "Phone/Messaging Sto...25 (SMS/MMS/APN)". So I restored everything with TIBU except that file on the list of applications (it has a green name).

Had just the opposite for a customer's phone. Changed their's from CDMA auto to LTE/GSM/CDMA auto and MMS started working. Thanks for the tip about changing modes.
I have been on xda for a long time but have been a lerker and never made any posts since any issue I had I could always find and fix without asking This one is not the case, I just flashed to the smasher x 5.1 kitkat rom (fresh wipe and install with philz) and flashed from dirty unicorns 10/13/13 release build. The install went fine and had no issues, but got my 1st mms msg and it will not download or send any mms msgs. I some times get a pop up about APN error. I have looked and read that the APN are the setting for the phoen to grab sprint msg data and relay it to the phone. Does anyone have a fix for APN issues for mms? The rom has an APN program build it but no sprint option is selectable nor will the "find apn" option work.
-Thank you.
Found the fix I was looking for, Hope this helps other that may have the same issue.
