[Q] MMS problems, stock phone - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

Stock AT&T phone, stock APN settings. Bought it from Best Buy. and I was able to send a couple but it took a long time for them to go through and now I can't send any. I've tried to reset the APN to defaults but that doesn't work. I've tried another APN to no avail
I haven't tried a third party app yet any maybe it's just my location but has anyone else had this issue? If so, did you find a solution?

To be honest I have issues with MMS alot as well, not with sending but receiving them, sometimes I will just get a blank message that clearly shows its a MMS, but no pic, I ask the sender to send again, and it comes right through.

Phone sending entire inbox.

hey I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this yet, as I can't find any info about this in any forum so far:
Whenever I flash a rom, this issue doesn't show up right away, but it always does, regardless of phone or build. Currently every sms message I send is stuck in a "sending" status on my device. The recipient always gets the message, but my phone thinks that it hasn't been sent. So, whenever I reboot my phone, if I haven't cleared all of my threads, my phone will resend every sent message on my phone. If I flash the same rom on top of itself, it goes away for a few more days, but it always comes back. Again, this is regardless of rom and even phone (D1, Eris,fascinate, DX, and incredible). Does anyone know what could be causing this? At the very least if someone could direct me to the property place to ask this question, I'd appreciate it.

What email account is this happening with?
If its over many phones it could be a problem with the towers around you, try calling verizon about it but get to the to the top of tech support

It's not an email account, it's sms.

I don't think it's a tower issue. When I send a message, in handcent there is s spinning wheel next to the message until the phone registers the message as "sent". this happens in it's own way across any and all sms apps on my phone. If I create and send the message in the stock messages app, it will show as sending in my other app and vice-versa. For the record, I have tried this with handcent, chomp sms and go sms.

This definitely sounds like a network issue. Have you tried sending a sms with a "dumb phone" and see if you have the same problem?

No, I haven't. I'll try it tonight when I get home from work. I sent a text to myself last night to test, and while it got to me immediately, it sent itself again 4 hours later. I'm not sure if that means anything significant or not but I'll try using another phone tonight.

This was a known issue with some phones and some SMS/MMS clients. Handcent implemented a fix, not sure about other clients. See this post in android forums for implementing the fix: http://androidforums.com/android-ap...on-without-resending-old-sms.html#post2136469

Thanks for this info!! I'm currently trying go sms again jaded on a reply in that thread, which seems to be working. I want to try the handcent fix, but I don't feel like taking the time to see how well consistently it works and risk text bombing people again. Hopefully some better themes start popping up

[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.

Mms wont send

For some reason I can't seem to send mms picture mail...I'm using cyanogen 7 and it doesn't say that the messages fail to send ..they just stay in sending status forever...I've been trying to send a few pictures for a couple weeks now.I've trying resending ,forwarding and nothing seems to get them to send.I've also tryied sending them with the stock messager and handcent but they both do the same results...I still have some trying to send from over 2 weeks ago and I've deleted the rest...if anyone know what's causing this any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated

Your MMS Server might have the wrong address or something. Tell me something, are you able to send regular text message without a problem or does that result into an endless wait too? If you're not able to send text messages either then you're going to have to flash into a sense rom preferably Sprint Lovers ROM and go to the dialer and press ##DATA#, once you press that you should be prompted for a code which will be your MSL....if you don't know your MSL then go to the market and download MSL reader....get your MSL and retry the ##DATA#.....once you enter your MSL then you should see a black screen with about 4 or 5 menu entires....go into Advanced and scroll down to where it say MMS Server and make sure it says http://mms.sprintpcs.com.....if it doesn't say that then that was your problem....reboot and re-flash CM7.
No I don't have any problems with SMS. But I will try the process you stated ... I had to do pretty much the same thing to get my 3g to work on my custom roms so I get the jist of the steps ..ill post my results once I set it up. Thank you for the help

Did you have your 3g on? Won't work on wifi, but works on 3g. 3g has to be on before you begin to send.
Fixed it! thanks

[Q] pic texts wont send

I had rooted my gs2 and at sometime my pic texts stopped working. I have un rooted the phone, done a complete hard reset and nothing has helped. On my end it seems the pic goes thru but the recipient never recipient the pic. I've tried several different people on different carriers. I can receive with no problem. I also have this problem with MMS I've went thru Boost and Samsung and neither were of any help. Can anybody here help me? PLEASE!
I apologize in advance for not being able to give you links at the moment but make sure your MMSC is set to: mm.myboostmobile.com (since you said you went through Boost and Sammy, I take it your on Boost).
You can find how to do this easily with a Google search.

[Q] MMS Messages not being sent..Note 3

Ok here goes...I have a rooted Note 3 ..I am running Jedi Elite...I just did the root and ROM on Monday ..As of Thursday I have been unable to send any MMS Messages, I can receive them, but when they are sent they show leaving the phone, but there is no Delivery, just says requested...I called ..Tech Support at TMobile, and they have the engineers on it after changing some settings and having me do a restart which did nothing for the problem..This morning the tech told me that other Note 3 phones are having this issue and had to be returned and traded in..
Has anyone had this problem with the Note 3? Could it have something to do with the Root or the ROM? I am really getting frustrated with not being ale to use MMS and this is the last resort...I was not sure where to psot this so here it is ...As far as I know as of this morning the engineers are still working on this problem...MMS Messaging worked fine until Thursday which tells me that it isn't in the programming of the phone...this is my first time rooting..so if anyone has any ideas on what might be going on I would appreciate it..thx in advance!
UPDATE: Just found out from a friend that MMS messages are going thru now, but phone is not showing DEL REPORT...meaning it is not showing hitting the tower or wherever they go ...I have del report req...always got one with the Note 2..
check your APN settings. I always change the default settings to: default, admin, dun, supl, mms. Ever since Hangout w/ SMS came out, I've never had to use the default SMS app again.
I have had this problem before. Are you running any ad blockers? Try disabling them and send MMS. It fixed it for me when I had this problem.

Having the same issue no one receives pictures I send them I disabled the ad blocker in hopes of fixing the problem
I was having random issues with mms only for a while. A restart usually fixed it, but I also started having regular network issues. The phone would connect to the tower, and I had data, but it was very slow, or would timeout. I tried to check the APN settings, and see that the stock ones are greyed out, and you can't edit them, so I added the old standard one, and now everything works perfect. Here is what I added in case anyone wants to know.
