MMS problem Trinity

Hi,
First of all, I am terribly sorry if this has been answered previously by anyone. I have read through a ton of articles on different boards unsuccessfully trying to find the solution.
I am running the AX3L_WM6_WWE_v2.0.8.1 release on my trinity and after two days use I am very happy with it. However there is one problem that is getting on my nerves. MMS.
Whenever I want to send an MMS i get a warning saying:
"In order to send/download MM messages, the current active connection may be closed (this may affect other applications in use). Do you want to continue ?
This message keeps appearing and appearing untill I select menu -> yes.
The same thing happens whenevers someone tries to send me an MMS.
So I can both send and recieve, but this warning message is killing me..
In my MMS settings messages are set to automatically download.
I cant really understand the warning cause the phone automatically shifts between different connections when shifting from wap to tv-streamiing for instance.
So, does anyone know how to end this misery?
Kind Regards
Tommy

I can also add that the stupid warning keeps popping up whenever i open any messaging account (work, gmail, sms, mms) regardless if I have any MMS in the outbox or any inbound mms.
For example: I recieve an sms and click on the link to open up messaging to read it and perhaps reply, immediately I get the stupid MMS message.

change the setting to use the internet connection in your MMS I had that problem and it's great now..
Hope this help

Okay, I think I know what you mean, however it did not work, this is what i did:
MY ISP connection is a direct connection to the internet with an APN (internet.ventelo.no) and no password / user or any other setting, works great for web and every other program that requires the internet.
Under Connections - Advanced - Select Networks I have created an mms account with another apn (mms.ventelo.no) and added Ventelo's username and password for mms. This is the account that is linked to in the messaging settings.
I then went in to the messaging settings / servers and changed the "Connect Via" to "My ISP" (internet.ventelo.no) instead of using the mms account descrived above.
The result is that I cannot send or receive MMS anymore, and probably because the APN for internet-traffic and mms-traffic are different.
Any other suggestions ?

I use the same rom as you and I'm experiencing the same problem with that annoying mms pop-up...
I'm still investigating how to avoid that... For me it only happens when I connect to my PC through Activesync.
Have you discovered a solution yet?

not receiving mms via T-Mobile

Hi all,
Been loving the Desire so far but this evening I got an mms from a friend, presumably showing me his own new Desire, and while the messaging app shows an unread message waiting it doesn't seem to want to download it.
The picture messaging settings seem accurate in the network settings so I'm at a loss as to what's up. This is all via T-Mobile, as per the subject, and everything configured itself when I put the sim in.
Any ideas?

I'm on t-mobile and receive and send mms mostly okay but there have been occasions where my mms wouldn't send at all. tried a different picture and it worked. I've had problems with mms and t-mobile on my iPhone before I got my Desire so I think it's a problem with t-mobile not the Desire?

You need to enable mms for you account, they are not included in the contract and thus you need to activate them online or by contacting them if it doesn't activate when you receive or send an mms.

All good suggestions, thanks.
I checked my account online and it's set to allow picture messages. I also just sent a picture to a friend, which arrived fine. I did notice that it disconnected from the net both before and after sending, so I'm thinking it's using different settings to send them.
Under Settings/Wireless & Networks/Mobile Networks/Access Point Names it does actually show two connections. One called T-Mobile Internet and one called Picture Message.
They're both very similar, except the T-Mobile Internet has no username/password set and no MMS server details. Also the APN type is set to "default" and "mms" respectively. Wondering if I should try combining the two...
Fake Edit: I just asked the same friend to send me a message back and this time it worked. Guess I just need to keep trying every once in a while to see if it happens again.

T-Mobile accounts generally are enabled for MMS to begin with, but to finalise the settings and actually activate it, you have to SEND an MMS. This activates the service.
Once you have done that, you can then normally receive.
if you hadn't sent an MMS before this, that is probably why.

Yeah that could be it, too; although I'm sure I'd sent MMS messages on my Touch HD before (same SIM). Ah well, it seems to be working for now at least! Thanks again all.

If you're using Handcent for sms / mms, that might also cause your issues...

[Q] CM7 MMS issue

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.

[Q] Bizarre issue with textra. Group messaging works but not with gifs or pics.

So first let me say I have searched multiple sites and fourms on this question. Issue seems to be intermittent Mms wokrs perfectly when phone is initially power cycled. After a few messages mms or not then mms pictures stops working. The bizarre thing is I still get messages in mms format sent and received instantly. Gifs/pics is the issue only. I have checked the apn settings for the phone and textra and they match. I even tried "8080" for the port in both textra and the network settings. Issue seems to only happen after phone has ran for 45+ minuets. Please help as I use group messaging for a lot of my clients and friends. Thanks in advance.
P.s. I have the jedi x20 rom installed. I'll also be at work until 3 pm central time so I might not be able to try suggestions until then.

Double check the apn settings within system settings as well. Also make sure that 'activate mobile data' and use mms for group chats are on

No mms on 6.0 or 6.0.1

OK Nexus 5x users. I have searched the web, I've searched the forum, I've searched everywhere I possibly can think of and still can't find a solution. I am on AT&T. I had an iPhone 6s before I bought my Nexus 5x, But from day one I'm not able to receive MMS messages consistently. Everything over 160 characters I don't get. I've tried everything I possibly can find, to no avail. I've messed with APN's, I don't have push bullet installed, I don't have any other text messaging app installed. I still have my iPhone 6s, and I've gone in and disabled face time as well as iMessage and iCloud, so on and so on and so on. I've even tried multiple text messaging apps just to see if that would help. I've installed two different operating systems, however both of them are based on 6.0 .1. For what ever reason no matter what I try no matter what I mess with I can't get any text message that are 161 characters or more to come through. When I reset phone to stock, I can get them to come through for about one minute and then I no longer can get them. I don't install any other apps and they just stop coming through. If I put my Sim card back in the iPhone 6s and make a few texts and then disable iMessage and FaceTime and iCloud again, I can get MMS messages for about one minute and then they stop coming through again. I can send MMS messages just fine I just can't receive them. I see multiple posts on the Internet about this issue with marshmallow. It seems like everybody is able to solve it, "but me". Does anybody on this forum have any idea what I can do to solve this issue?

sorry, are you on custom rom or stock now?

I was having mms issues in verizon. Incoming Mms were delayed for days. None of the recommended apn settings helped, switching between messenger and hangouts saw no change, turning wifi on and off, etc.
I set the apn to restore defaults and now it seems to work, when mobile data is on. Doesnt work when just wifi is on.
Question, is mms over wifi even a feature on Verizon? My Galaxy S4 did not send or receive mms if mobile data was off, one annoying feature because I usually just leave wifi on when home.
But then through some verizon update i could send and receive mms with mobile data disabled, I think it would switch mobile data on momentarily when an mms was incoming or outgoing.
So is there a way to get mms to work with mobile data off on the 5X on verizon?

My 5X does not send mms with mobile data turned off. My S3 was exactly the save before this phone. I'm on Verizon, stock rooted with Ex kernel installed. This didn't work on stock OOTB either. I get notifications if I receive mms and I just turn on my data at that point to download them, if it isn't enabled.

Since you are coming from the iPhone...I wonder if you have to de-register your number from imessages server?
