Running HTC Wildfire S (marvelc) on Virgin Mobile network.
so I flashed a rom (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633198 ). Almost a perfect ROM. Only CM9 I've seen that has both camera and bluetooth functional. Since then I have not been able to receive any SMS. I can send them just fine, just not receive. I think I've narrowed down the problem: my MIN is different from my phone number.
Only problem is, ##847446 doesnt work for the maintenance code any more to set that right. I dont think I had this problem when I flashed a custom ROM and didn't wipe my dalvik cache. I DO still have a backup of my stock (but rooted) image I can restore with CWM to see if I can get my texting back, but it seems like a lotta hassle to reflash, reset MIN, flash back to CM9 without wiping dalvik (especially since my backed up ROM is on my WHS which currently has RAID drives ripped out so I can configure an Ubuntu server).
Is there any way I can access the maintenance menu of my phone without reflashing back to stock? I would post in the developer thread, but apparently, Im too new :silly:
btw, thanks to any answers you can give!
ok, after restoring back to my stock backup, i can receive texts. I'm fairly certain it's the image... but I cant post in the dev forum because I dont have enough posts up. Anybody care to shed some light on the subject? preferably modpunk, since this is his ROM, but I'll take any I can get.
I had the same problem when i was running alpha 6. No problems in alpha 7, though.

Alpha 7 is giving me the problem... as well, just realized on my lock screen it says "Roaming Indicator On". I do have my sms set up to autoretrieve while roaming, but the R symbol above the signal on top is missing and inside my about phone -> Status, under Network it says Roaming Indicator On and under Roaming it says Not Roaming.
really wish i could get this fixed... i dont want to go back to stock rom, but i needs my texts...
Roaming is always on in alpha 7. If u want data u have to enable data while roaming. As for the texts, what fixed it for me was to reflash it. Then it worked perfectly fine.
If it is mms, or bigger than 3 messages and converting to mms, then that would be why. Mms isnt supported yet on marvelc.

I have mine set not to convert X amount of SMS to MMS and to auto retrieve even when roaming. i've flashed to this rom (and a couple others) about 10 times in the past week.
maybe you have frozen the mms.apk
I know on vm, even though they say unlimited, they sometimes email you if you go over 3000 texts(not usually). Otherwise, i would try flashing stock ROM and see if the problem persists.

Ok, so after work, I re-set up my WHS and flashed back to stock. Was able to send and receive SMS. Flashed back to ALPHA 7 and again no incoming SMS, but I can text out. I'm all outta ideas... Has to be the ROM......
Hi xda i've had a problem with my new galaxy nexus with sending and downloading any MMS message.
Basically I noticed the issue today as it was the first time a friend sent me a mss on my new device and I could not download it. I tried messing with the APN, Auto-Receive and turning WIFI off and I still could not get it to download or send MMS so I decided it must be a issue with the device.
My phone came with stock yakjuxw 4.0.4 but I flashbooted it to 4.1 without root and ive had no issues other than this MMS issue. It is not my sim as I tried sending and receiving MMS from my old Blackberry and it worked fine.
My device is a unlocked GSM device and I am based in Australia.
Can anybody give me some insight on what to do?
EDIT: I looked at CatLog while trying to download the msg and I got the following which it kept repeating if it means anything:
GC_CONCURRENT freed
WAIT_FOR_CONCURRENT_GC BLOCKED
Ps: My first post of now many
99% of the time it's APN related.
Does your friend have an iPhone? I have horrible problems getting MMS from iPhones for some reason.

The first MMS I received yes was from a friend with an iphone but then tried sending one from a nokia and got the same issue.
It sounds stupid but could it have anything to do with me not having root?

I've experienced similar issues in the past, and had success with going into the APN settings, hitting the menu dots, and selecting the reset to default option. Send some of the settings or data got corrupt at some point (even though everything looked OK)

I have a similar problem on both of our nexuses (nexi). Mine is rooted and my wife's is 100% stock. MMS send fine most places, but anywhere that has a wifi network seems to keep the MMS from sending. The picture will just sit there with 'Sending' next to it for days before you realize it never sent. It wont even send once you leave the wifi area. If I send the message when i'm not near wifi, it sends fine. I realize this is of little help, but you're not alone anyhow.
This is my first visit since this problem and I figured out the problem was to do with my carrier. I called them and my MMS was set to use blackberry servers. They put me back on their network and its worked since

I have seen a few threads, but no solutions.
Has anyone found a solution to what seems to be a widespread problem of not being able to send or receive MMS messages? I am rooted and running jbsourcery 5.1. Any help would be appreciated.
Never had an issue sending/receiving MMS on Nexus. I also very much doubt this is as widespread as you've tried to make it seem.
Maybe its a widespread issue with that ROM because I dont have issues and havent seen that many people complain about it. I also have never used that ROM.
EDIT: Also, from what I believe, MMS needs a data connection to go through. If you have little to no connection, this could be the problem.
Google it. Seems to be very common, especially on Verizon and sprint. Had the same issue on stock 4.2.1 as well. No matter how good connection is, it hangs on "sending". Even on wi-fi.

It doesn't use wifi to send mms. It turns data on for a brief moment to send it.

Sending MMS over WiFi is an issue. I've had it since day one with my vzw GNex. I'm used to it now. If I didn't like this phone so much I'd trade up for something else.
MMS are NOT sent/received through WiFi.

I'm on tmobile monthly and had issues with MMS in non-stock messaging apps. I had to enter the APN setting within the third party messaging app to get it to work.
i havent had an issue with mms since before sourcery 5.0 on my toroplus (when i did it was usually bc wifi was connected) but if you have wifi connection on it does cause issues. i am on sourcery 5.1.8 exp now and mms works flawlessly so it is definately not a rom issue. depending on your provider try updating prl/profile and reboot then try again, leave wifi off when you do.

It works for me if you just take of wifi and have mobile data on.
I've noticed a few questions about getting MMS working on sprint S3's that are flashed to cricket so I thought I'd post this to help out some.I am by now means an expert but I have flashed a lot of phones and through much trial and error found out what works.
TouchWiz bases ROM's
1st option is a paid solution so I won't post a link but you can PM me.
2nd option GoSMS which can be downloaded from google play install it, 1st go to setting>advanced>mms settings,check the box that says Fill apn configuration manually MMSC should be http://mms.mycricket.com/servlets/mms?x-cricket-mdn=xxx_xxx_xxxx x's being your phone number
2nd MMS Proxy should be wap.mycricket.com
3rd MMS Port should be 8080 after this it will work a lot of the guides i've seen will tell you proxy is mms.cricket.com i've never had that work.
3rd option follow this post step by step a liitle more involved but you can use stock messaging http://www.cricketusers.com/cdma-sa...-s3-mms-solution-confirmed-working-great.html
CM,AOSP and AOKP ROM's
1st and really only option you will need
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1649508 this solution was developed by Cornaljoe for the samsung epic however i have tested it on many phones and it has always worked well make sure to thank him for his hard work.
I hope this helps I have personally used all of these and they all work. any questions just ask and if anyone needs help flashing this phone to cricket just send me a PM and i'll be glad to help.
Note to mods I hope this is in the right place.

I have tried all the Touch Wiz methods from the original post and they all get reset automatically back to stock Sprint settings.
I am using a Sprint S3 SPH-L710 on stock 4.1.2 rooted with clockwork mod recovery.
I flashed it to Cricket myself using the tutorial on Cricket Users forum. I really expected to find a solution there, but I see a couple of people with the same problem I am having. The reason I rooted it is because of the "confirmed working" solution over there, but it does the same thing and resets mms setting back to Sprint.
I know I am following all the directions to the letter, and like I said I have sent and received text pictures but then the settings revert back to Sprint.
This is extremely frustrating because I See others posting that it works and mine just keeps resetting.
What am I missing?
Or is there something in a phone released with 4.1.2 that is changing the settings?

Thank you for your reply.
I did try what you posted and it worked the same as before until the settings reset.
I believe I may have figured it out since you pointed me to the build.prop edit.
I found a couple of different posts here on xda and a couple of other forums for different device models that pointed me to which files to edit or delete. I have read so many different threads about this I am not sure exactly where I got which files that worked.
But in a nutshell, I had the wrong mnc in my apn.
I edited build.prop, apn, dss, & various other unrelated settings, slashing and burning whatever got in my path.
310016 was what worked for me if that helps anyone else, somehow I had it switched to 310090 in apns-conf.xml and build.prop still said 310120.
And for whatever reason, my alarm has not reset the notification melody again.
Wifi on, no settings reset. Sent and received with both GoSMS Pro and whichever mms.apk I switched in there. I'm really not sure where I got it, but it shows to be 624KB installed. I notice that all the ones I found are a little bit different size.
I am really liking this S3, it's a big improvement over my out-of-the-box stock ZTE Score.

In order to edit APN settings, try to send a failing pic, then long press on it, choose "APN Settings"

cricket messaging app not working right after 4.3 update on S3
Okay, seems like everyone is having problems with sending and/or receiving MMS on flashed (to Cricket) Sprint S3. Just recently, I purchased a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3. The guy flashed it to Cricket and when I got home, I noticed that I couldn't receive MMS. Instead of calling him back, I decided to find a fix myself to be able to receive MMS on the native messaging app. So this is what I did:
1.Dial ##3282# (this opens the Data Programming Menu)
2.Tap on "Edit" and enter your MSL Code (000000)
3.Go to "MMSC", then "MMSC URL"
4.Change the url to: (see attached image) and hit Okay to apply.
5.Go to MMSC Proxy and change that to "0.0.0.0"
6.Reboot phone and make sure you're connected to 3G.
7.Have someone send you a MMS and it should download and open, using the native messaging app, with no problem!!!
It worked for me and I haven't had a problem since I changed the MMSC URL and Proxy.
Have Fun Sending & Receiving MMS!!!!
Got my M8 the other day and noticed my MMS through Hangouts wasnt working while I had WIFI on, I turned of WIFI and MMS worked right away. I did some searching and found that people from verizon and att also having this issue but there was no solution. Thought I would post this here to see if anyone else is having this issue and if there is a fix. Never had this issue on M7.

that is weird..I assume you have rebooted the phone a few times..
maybe time to call tech support, and see if your phone is defective?

I wasn't able to receive MMS while on wifi with hangouts or hoverchat unless I opened the stock messaging app. I messed with wifi and mobile priorities and APN setting and no luck so I'm using the stock app for now.
If you're using WiFi calling you can't send and receive MMS unless it's the stock app.

I'm experiencing the same issue. I actually called T-Mobile tech support and they walked me through deleting all my SMS messages in the hangouts app and then making the native app the default messaging app again. Then they wanted me to send a test MMS message to myself (using the native messaging app) and it worked. So i went back to using hangouts again and it worked for a day, and now it stopped working again. sounds like a bug in the HTC software to me.
I've always had this issue. You can help it out a bit by going into the wifi settings and setting it to be able to auto switch from wifi back to your 4G connection. Still doesn't always work. I don't send MMS often though so its not a big deal to me. Its the only thing that doesn't work for me. It does the same thing for me in the normal messaging app too. I turn wifi off and it goes though just fine. My M8 is only a few days old but most of my issues came from that same issue on my Note 3.
I can't send mms with hangouts on wifi either.
Is there a way to report this issue to HTC?

How did I never see this when I had the Note 3. It was soooooooooooo annoying. I always disabled my wifi and get it then go back to wifi. I just tested this and it works. I don't do very many MMS messages but when I get one I know it'll download correctly.

i was having the same issue ill give this a try thanks.
I'm going to have to retract my previous statement where I said it works. Yes, it does work but you have to disable wifi calling for it to work. I guess I'll have to deal with disabling wifi when I send/receieve MMS because wifi calling is a must for me.
I'd like to see TMobile fix this to work with wifi calling enabled too.
