Hey guys, i hate to start a thread for this but i have looked around and tried a couple of things but I cannot seem to find why I can't send MMS pictures, although i am able to receive them. Running the latest CleanRom i tested on GO SMS and regular message app with only a loading but never sends.
I checked APN (see below) for Telus, Data turned on, tested some features in the messaging app's settings.
apn name=Telus SP
mcc=302
mnc=220
apn=sp.telus.com
user=null
server=null
password=null
proxy=74.49.0.18
port=80
mmsproxy=74.49.0.18
mmsport=80
mmsprotocol=null
mmsc=http://aliasredirect.net/proxy/mmsc
type=null
Any ideas would be gladly appreciated :highfive:
I only have experience with Handcent and when I have issues with mms I have to go to a setting in Handcent that makes it my default sms program for mms and sms before it functions properly. I have also had to uninstall and reinstall Handcent to get it to work right. I have not had any issues with cleanrom and Handcent yet, though
It must be a tweak somewhere because i did my friends with same ROM (although on Rogers) and it works flawlessly for him

Of I'm not mistaken I read some where about cleaning out your msg app. Because it brings over bad data. So that's what stop's it from working! I would try to go to app it self clear data. Reboot to recovery. Wipe both cache/dalvik cache. Reboot and c if you can send mms again. I was having a small issue like that b4. And clearing the old data out helped it. Just my 2 cents

Tried this just now, didnt do the trick.
Wierd that the native message app didnt have any cache to clear though.
Jesus it sounded like a great solution open for more options at this point

Right now, the only workaround is to use GoSMS.
Sent while hanging with that really hoopy frood Ford Prefect.
I was able to delete telephony.db in the folder /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/database to get my MMS working. Since then, my MMS has been running flawlessly.
What's wrong with it. Mine worked out of the box without any tinkering from me.
I deleted telephony.db then rebooted. MMS works in both directions.
I don't even know if it worked before I deleted that file.

For some people MMS's sometimes just won't go through, and keep showing that they're sending.
Handcent and GO SMS worked for me.
I deleted the telephony.db but it doesn't do anything even after reboot.. Is it maybe because I'm on 3g?

My MMS was working fine for about 24 hrs. after installing CM9A2, then just stopped sending. I deleted the telephony.db file, cleared the data for the Messaging app, and rebooted. After that, I could send and receive MMS over both 3G and wireless. Try clearing the data for Messaging, reboot, and try again.
Thanks everyone for the help

If your phone came with AT&T Messages, you need to go to AT&T store to have them switch you back to the old VVM system. I upgrade to Messages and hated it and went back.

you don't have to go into the store you can call a csr they should be able to reset your account.
I also use Google voice and its awesome. But since most messages left are in Spanish, Google will tell me the craziest things when it tries to make them into English words (I get a hell of a kick out of it)

This app worked fine when I was using TW, but I switched over to AOKP and the app will not work. I go through the setup and it asks for my pin. I type in my pin and the app just sits there with the wheel spinning, looking like its doing something. However, it never comes back. I've uninstalled/reinstalled, factory reset, wiped cache & Dalvik cache. Any ideas?

Thanks. I should have spent a little more time looking around before posting. I also found the answer here.
I switched to Paranoid Android and somehow lost my phone # in the sim card. I was searching and found I had to go into the phone app and readd my # and also readd my voicemail dial in #(which is different than your phone #)
Had to call AT&T for that.

For some reason, I can not get my phone to use Google Voice as my default VMB for the phone. I installed Google Voice, and it asked if I wanted to do that. I said yes, selected Google Voice (as opposed to Carrier) and it said it failed to update. I tried manually under phone settings many times. Tried rebooting too, nothing.
Any idea why I can't change calls to be directed to Google Voice for voicemail?
I'm on stock LH9 ROM, rooted and the special tethering framework (I tried without this first, but still no luck).
ya, tried the att messages app today.. horrible. it froze my contacts and kept shutting down some google app process.
for those who are curious.. google voice works on ICS. took me a moment to figure it out, and really liked having it on gingerbread. go to google voice website. hit settings and then "activate voicemail" it gives you a series of symbols and numbers to enter into your dialer and then it's activated.
BAM.
So this is a problem I've had for a while now. I can't send or receive picture messages. When I try to send a picture it just stays on sending, but the picture never actually sends. When someone sends me a picture it gives me the option to download (whether my settings are set to auto retrieve or not) and when I click on download it just hangs there. I've tried sending a picture to myself and that works fine. Right now I'm on the Jedi Knight V3 ROM, but I've had this problem on Darkside Evolution, AOKP, and even stock 4.0.4 rooted. Please help!!!

Is your APN set correctly? I don't have any reason to believe it's not, but usually MMS problems have to do with APNs.

Whos your carrier? If its Tmobile or simple mobile, wipe both proxies in your APN setup. Also when you receive or send MMS make sure your WIFI is OFF not on...

handcent seems very buggy. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt.
Yes. I've tried Textra and Chomp and they both don't work.
I've actually been going back and forth via emails with textra developers for two days and they came to a conclusion that they are having issues with multiple Note 3's
They will email me when they have a solution. When I find out, I'll keep you posted

I figured as much. I don't think it's going to be on their end though. It seems like something in the messenger settings on the note is breaking it if it's all sms apps

Youre right. They probably need to update this phone for a fix. I hope there's a fix soon.
I hate the stock messenger for group MMS. Its slow, laggy, and I get that stupid No Subject for every group text. Textra is amazing and I can't wait to start using it again.

I will say, if you use 8sms, and leave the stock sms app alone it all still works. If you install textra MMS is completely broken

I had the same problem with Textra (love this app). After researching and testing different APN settings, I finally found the one that works like a charm.
Create a new APN and use the values from the screen shots I have attached. Don't forget to enable "activate data" in Textra MMS settings. Then reboot and enjoy.

On wifi yes, not on wifi calling. That's something only enabled in stock sms app.
So I'm not totally sure what is different in my settings from others. However my MMS was not working over wifi when I used the new APN. I eventually turned wifi calling to use "cellular network when available" and all of a sudden it seems to be working. I had the setting in textra selected to use data when sending and receiving, but it didn't seem to be doing anything

I noticed this is LTE, what if you are not in an LTE area? Will your phone switch to a different APN from this customized APN? And if it switched would MMS again be broken?
I've noticed that I can only send 1 or 2 pictures at a time in the stock message app. Is anyone else having this issue? My daughter's iPhone can send more then that to me in 1 message. Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere? Thanks
Yep. That's why I went with textra.
