MMS not sending or downloading

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.

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

(NQ)Can't Get LTE on AOKP rom on Rogers 1747M

Hey All,
So, for some reason, I am unable to get LTE when i am flashed on the AOKP jellybean rom for the SGH-1747M (rogers)
I did everything that was stated in Task's Gerrit (Changed the connection for WCDMA to LTE/GSM auto), all that does is work for a while on H+, then disconnects.
I've changed my apn settings to the Rogers LTE settings, which just cuts off communication all together
Ive flashed Rogers Modems, still to no avail.
The thing that bothers me is that other sgh-1747M users claim to have been getting LTE on the AOKP jellybean rom.
My question is WHY AM I HAVING TROUBLE!!!??? I know the Rom was made for an At&T sgh1747, so people may say thats why its not working, but people with Canadian SG3's have been able to get LTE on the same ROM im having trouble getting it on.
If theres anything at all im missing, can someone please clarify exactly what im missing and what I should do to get it working.
I love the AOKP jellybean ROM, i keep going back to it, but the LTE not working just hurts my feelings (since I am paying for an LTE smartphone plan). PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!!!
PS: the first time I ever changed from WCDMA to LTE/GSM autom i got a 4G symbol for about 30 secs.....never seen it again! HELP!

i dont have a gerrit. so im unsure what you are talking about.
you need to add a canadian LTE apn and then do this...
Enter *#*#4636#*#* into the dialer
phone information
set preferred network type
change to LTE/GSM auto

I'm not really sure. Being as I don't have a Canadian model its not something I can test. But I'm sure some Canadian users will be posting here to help you out soon.

when i try to change the preferred network it will not let me change it to anything else but to lte/gsm (prl) (i have the AT&T version)

Thats interesting. Maybe its because you are actually using at&t network. It works when I put it on LTE/GSM, but all I get is 3G and H+

Check your IMEI in about phone/status. If its showing 0, there's a thread for that.
If you're getting 4G icon and your mobile network status says LTE and are getting LTE speeds, then its cosmetic issue. I had that problem before.
What I did was I flashed Kyan's ROM 1.3 cause its based off of Rogers firmware. Once I verified I had LTE icon on Kyan ROM, then flashed the stock/rooted ROM after.

Interesting. I will try that method and see what happens. Thanks for the info; will post back with results soon

Ok, so after going through the whole process stated above, i WAS able to get a 4G symbol come every now and then. But before the connection actually finalizes and goes through (before it turns blue on the aokp rom), it disconnects and goes back to WCDMA preferred. I added the rogers LTE apn, and using that apn with the LTE/GSM auto selected allowed the 4G to come, but it keeps disconnecting. It even sometimes changes back to other apns on the list by itself
Anyone know if theres a way to lock the preferred network and apn settings?

enter apn settings, then REBOOT phone. After that, enter *#*#4636#*#* into phone dialer and go change to LTE/CMDA/GSM. that worked for me, I just needed to reboot my phone for the apn settings to work

I stumbled upon this thread and the above solution using the dialer code. Worked instantly, no reboot required. I'm running R4INS AOKP Jelly Bean port on a Rogers SGH-I727.

Mine works until I reboot. Then it changes back to WCDMA. I'm on Telus.

LTE on canadian i747M (Rogers)
I had similar issue with LTE after flashing to AOKP rom. The fix provided by AOKP (after every reboot, type in *#*#4636#*#* and flipping the network type from WCDMA to LTE_only, then flip to LTE/GSM auto(PRL) ) works. LTE will show up as 4G. I have the 2012-09-30 AOKP build installed.
Yesterday all of a sudden I could not get LTE anymore. Not sure what happened as the only thing I did was to activate a new account on Google. Anyway the 4G/ flipping did not work anymore. Reflashed the rom several times, still the same issue, my phone will not get LTE/4G.
This morning tried the following and voila it worked, thought I will share this:
Flip the network type to LTE Only, there is no connection, REBOOT the phone.
1. After reboot, flip the network type to LTE Only again, this time, the connection worked - what a surprise/thrill.
2. Flipped the network type to LTE/GSM auto (PRL), connection was ok and 4G came on and stayed on. Did several reboots and repeated 1 and 2 and LTE/4G was ok.
Hope this helps.

I don't recommend you to use task aokp rom! You won't get LTE real speed and Dev won't help you since you are not an at&t user! He couldn't care less about the rest so try liquid jelly bean which is a lot faster and better or milestone 4 and aristodemo! They have better support although they are tw rom but worthy anyways

Task compiles that ROM based on AOKP source, but AOKP officially doesn't support att. Although I didn't have problems getting lte on his ROM the fact that you have to set it every time you reboot is why I am using cm10 for now otherwise it's a good ROM!

I'm having the same issues on my rogers branded s3. No matter what I do I can get lte to even appear. My apn auto rolls back to the provided apn and if I delete that I have no data at all. Hopefully this does have an answer because the Rom is amazing

Alright I think I have it figured out. I added the rogers APN related all others and the only change I made was I removed the info under APN type where it said internet+MMS and left it blank. Saved the APN rebooted and I have lte now. I even rebooted my phone and each time it boots up its showing 4g without having to play with any settings

[Q] LTE Bell dies if using other roms?

I'm just wondering if anyone else has noticed this and this only happens after a period of time where the LTE will just stop working but if you switch to CDMA it's working fine?
To go a step further I've wiped the phone and restored to stock. Once that's done LTE is working fine.
To go further again, I grabbed a different ROM and the exact samething happens, I'll be able to be on LTE for about a day and then the service stops and if I switch it to CDMA I'm good.
Just wondering if anyone else here has noticed that.
Cheers,

did you verify your APN settings?
i'm using a Bell version GN2 but on Fido and i can flash all day everyday and 4g has always worked.

The APN settings are always the same with Bell. They don't change.
HSPA+ will work but LTE will die after a little while. (This only occurs on other ROMS). If I stay on the stock rom there's no problem.

On a different note... I noted that if I have SAMBA Fileshare on I have strange things that happens DATA wise.... I'm still looking into it and dropping logcat and looking at different possibility.
At this point it's looking like something with the SMB Fileserver I have on the phone. (Will know later on)

im not saying the bell apn has changed but ive found that sometimes when flashing roms, the apn settings arent included in the rom and have to manually be entered.

[Q] Tethering on LTE doesn't work

Hey guys!
I have my S4 rooted and with a custom ROM, current with Infamous S4 Google Edition. Since tmobile turned on LTE in my island, in every area I have LTE, tethering doesn't work. This ONLY happens under LTE, can anyone help me out here? Is there an APN I have to modify or add?

How many apn's do you have? If you have both fast.tmobile and epc.tmobile, then delete the epc.tmobile apn, reboot and you should be good.
Make sure you notate the epc.tmobile settings incase you need to create the apn again. I took screen shots as my backup.

I have both fast.t-mobile and epc.tmobile but fast.t-mobile is the one chosen. Does it matter if the epc one is still there?

If you delete the epc one then you should be able to tether.
Here's a post from someone on Wicked v4 that figured it out as well. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43094428
Don't forget to thank him too if it works for you.

Flash a different ROM. I was having that problem on all TW ROMs but the Jedi one.

IT WORKS!!! Although it wasn't just deleting the epc.tmobile APN, after deleting it I had to re-add it but with certain changes (I think but I didn't check the original before deleting it). Anyway thanks to you man (and I already thanked poster in your link)! Hope this helps others on the same situation.

[Q] ported sprint s3 to straighttalk but no internet

I ported my Sprint Galaxy S3 over to ST with the BYOP program. Calling and texting are fine, I can even receive mms but I can't send out mms and there's no internet connection. I've been on the phone countless times with ST, they always tell me to update my profile and prl..... which is strange because my 3G signal pops up when updating but disappears when its done. Can anyone assist me with this issue? Do I have to update apn settings or something?

Those are for phones with SIM cards, my phone is a CDMA phone. Will it still work the same??

I wasn't directing you to the Sim card solution per say. I was thinking maybe, some of the other trouble shooting options might help you. Have you tried Updating the APN Settings ? You could try ##72786# , but I'm not sure if that will work on ST.

Yes I changed the APN and dialed ##72786#, the 3G sign popped up for updating but disappeared once it was done

So can you actually access the internet ? But have no indicator that your connected. Or you have no data at all ? Can you send SMS / MMS ? What Rom are you running ?

Fox you flash a Rom ? I'm just trying to narrow things down. Make sure it's not a Rom issue.

Yes through Odin. But even before I rooted my device and didn't change the APN..... the same thing happened.

Sounds to me that your APN is not set correctly. Have you double check it. They offer a guide on how your APN settings should be. I had to do that with my brothers AT&T GS3 and after I set the APN I had to call them back to give them the serial # of the Sim card for them to activate it and then restarted the phone and everything works.
Granted it was a GSM GS3 but jus trying to help.
Did you have it programed to Straight Talk or did you go to their website and have them to set it up?
Be now I noticed they offer CDMA service byop. I was thinking of trying that this Friday
