why cant i send mms?

Is this phone supposed to be able to send mms to other android phones? my wife tries and it has "generic network failure" to my nexus one but then it is able to send the same mms to my friends iphone. i can receive her sms though.
Also, my nexus CANT send mms to my same friends iphone OR my wife's slide...

Maybe if you dont have a data plan like me.
I can not send mms bc I do not have a data plan.
If you do have a data plan then I don't know.
I have to do the work around of sending an email to the other persons phone or using google voice.

I can send MMS from my slide pretty easily. Sent 3 the other day to my friend.

I keep getting a "Generic Network Failure" on my Slide. T-Mo rep gave me a work-around to try in the MMS network settings. That didn't work, so they are sending me a new phone.

Are you on wifi while trying this? If so, check this thread.

Quick question...
when you try to send the mms... do you chose your recipient by tapping the lil button and then selecting the person's name...
or
do you tap the text entry box and keyboard in your recipient's name and select them from the drop down list?
I had serious issues using the first method... I would get the same error you got, as well as one called "Permenant failure". the second methos works fine for me tho...
I worked with a tech named Larisa (who sounded very hot... but that's off topic ) who had me try everything... and it wasn't until I tried using the second method for selecting my recipient did I realize the problem.

Is there any fix for mms yet?
Is it possible that froyo fixes this issue? Just wondering....

Try steps 1-2 on this to get mms working without a data plan, worked for me.

Yep. And I get ****ty reception on this, my signal bounces all over the place. I just unlocked mine and it has gone from 3 bars of 3G to 1 bar of 3G and now I am bouncing between 1 and 2 bars on EDGE. This thing has problems sending a regular SMS sometimes. I'll have 3 bars on EDGE and get an "Unable to send after multiple attempts. Retrying." error. So T-Mo is sending me ANOTHER (this will be the THIRD) phone. About to just say **** this phone.

i have this problem as well. but i deal with it after 2 auto retries it gets sent out.
also got the generic network error but only while texting google voice main number and the market app that allows free txt through data

Is it me...

Hey is is me, or did we use to be able to send MMS while connected to WiFi and in a call?
I swear that I use to be able to send pictures while connected to to my home wireless and being on the phone until EL29 came out. I use that function a lot, but I'm starting to question myself. I've flashed multiple ROMs to make sure I was just going crazy, but it seems that every EL29 ROM I flash the MMS just says sending until I get off the phone. Then after that my 3G icon pops up with the WiFi icon still there, then the picture gets sent. I SWEAR it didn't use to be like that.

I still can send mms when on a call

I am pretty sure that I can as well. Ill have to try tomorrow and let you know for sure.

oh man. geeze. please let me know. I wanna find out what's going on

im not sure about the phone call part,
but even if your on wifi the phone still turns on 3g to authenticate thru sprints picmail servers before sending it

I can answer this one. If your on 3g and on a call, no you can't send mms. When you're on a call it knocks off your 3g to make the call. Now if you're on 4g, then you can send mms because you still have your 4g connection running. Another thing I would like to add is back when the first Evo and Epic came out, sending mms wasn't supported over 4g till Sprint made some changes on how sending mms works on their network. However one thing I haven't tried is to see if I can send mms thru just wifi with 4g and 3g off. It has me a lil curious because I know it didn't back then but they might had changed that when they changed it to allow sending thru 4g. But it could also just work on their networks only so idk..
Edit: I just put my E4gT on hotspot mode and disabled network data on a Sprint iPhone and Evo3D, both failed at sending. Soon as I enabled their data back the messages got sent. So you still can't send mms over wifi it relies on falling back to 3g. The way I recall it is the 3g comes on to send the mms then drops once it sends, but since you're on a call it won't do that.. Hope that helps lol

right, uses 3g/4g to authenticate thru picmail servers, wont do that on wifi itself. no sprint connection=no picturemail.
Connect to wifi and send a picture (while you have a signal) and you will still see the 3g icon come on for a few seconds while it sends.

That's really weird though. I really use to be able to send mms while on the phone on wifi. I swear that changed on EL29. but oh well maybe i'm just tripping out

I think you're trippin. Hey maybe you should Odin back to a previous software to test it out and let us know! Lol

OK so I Odin'd back to stock rooted EL29, and guess what?
I CAN send pictures while on the phone and connected to WiFi. the 3G icon doesnt pop up. it just sends. I knew I wasn't trippin. This function seems to have gotten lost among all the modding or something. But yea on a stock ROM, you can hold a conversation and send a picture...you just cant take the picture while in call. but yeah.

Odd data problem

Ok so I have an unlocked LG Nitro HD with custom ROM (CM10) and it has a very weird problem. I've tried two different AT&T MVNO SIM cards (AirVoice and Consumer Cellular) both have the same issue. My data signal keeps changing from H to H+ and occasionally to 3G like every few seconds regardless of where I am using the phone even outside. I don't understand what the problem is. What could be the issue?

Are you able to use mobile data or are you just wondering why the icons go back and forth?

Data does work but it seems to drain the battery with the networks constantly switching and on occasion I get a "No Connection" screen on certain apps, I guess because if I open an app while its swapping networks the app cant connect. It's strange.

Yeah, constantly swapping networks will drain the battery.. what about your APN settings?

They are set up properly.
I had another odd problem, just a few minutes ago was texting someone and all of a sudden phone froze while vibrating then restarted! Don't know if that's a bug in CM10 or what, maybe the network swapping is as well.

Maybe make a backup of your CM10 and try flashing a different ROM not based on CM10.

I think this is the same issue that I recently fixed in quattrimus. I will try to get the fix included in the cm kernel soon. You might try my Rom to see if the fix works.

I tried installing CM9 and it appears to have fixed the problem, the phone doesn't try to connect to the H+ network anymore, only the H network and seems to stay on it so far. I did see it quickly go over to the 3G network but it doesn't appear to be causing any issues, it went right back to the H network. However, I really wish the CM10 ROM worked right, as CM9 is so old...

CM10 is snappy and oh so buttery smooth, I give you that. On another note, did you try any other CM10 variants? I'd give tdmcode's AOKP a spin. He says he might have fixed that problem you were talking about in his build.

I downloaded the CM10 ROM. It seems to behave slightly differently. It stays on H normally, but when I start to do something with data, it will go to H+ until the data loads, then go back to H. So far no disconnects, I'll keep you posted. Right now I have very limited data, I'm switching to T-Mobile as soon as UPS decides to deliver my SIM card (just found out they have a 1900MHz HSPA+ network in my area!) I'll be able to test it better then, but for now I'm trying to stick to wifi, especially since I wasted so much data tonight playing around with this stuff, lol.

Ditto... H and 3g are subsets of each other. Namely they can handle simultaneous voice and data 4G (h+) and lte can only handle data. So it switches back to H so you can receive and make calls plus it uses less battery. If you are on either 4G techs and receive a phone call while downloading it will automatically switch to H from h+ or lte, this is why. The only way you will never see this is on an AT&T rom where it only has 4G and lte icons.

H+ isn't a subset of 4G is it? I know that the CM's have separate icons for 3G/H, H+, 4G, and LTE.

That certainly is debatable but the US's largest carrier considers it to be, it behaves like 4g, H+ may not be as fast but it is 90%+ as fast in most markets small enough to not make a noticeable difference as far as people's perception and the technology behaves like LTE in a lot of respects, CM is international so it just conforms to International norms so that's why you get H+ AND 4G (LTE) designators.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Nexus [PagePlus] Problems

I've had my Samsung Galaxy Nexus running 4.2.2 ParanoidAndroid 3.60 on PagePlus for a good 2-3 months now, and I have been having problems with the phone since the start. One of the main issues that I am having with the phone is slow messaging. I am able to send messages at normal speeds (not MMS, MMS takes forever to send/will not send at all), but when I am receiving messages, most of the time the I don't get it for about 4-60 minutes after they sent the message. Another problem that I have had recently (4/22/14) is that the phone switched to 4G LTE when it is on PagePlus, which is 3G. I don't know why it suddenly switched to 4G, I just changed by batteries and then when I powered it on it was just on 4G and I cannot use any of my data because it prompts me to "Sign into Network" and my network for PagePlus says T-CDMA 64. When I try to sign in or use my data it says that I cannot use mobile broadband and that I cannot activate my phone and it gives me a Verizon number. I've switched the network preferences from LTE/CDMA to CDMA/EvDo and it is on 3G now but it still prompts me to the same site when I try using my data. So yeah, basically my phone lags when it receives messages and I can't use my data because it switched to 4G. Anyone got any ideas?

Bump
I really need this fixed.

4G Data Not Working While On A Call

If I'm on a call, I always drop down from LTE to 4G as expected. However, while on a call and on 4G I can't seem to get data to work. I can't get to any websites and all my apps fail to connect to the internet. Any suggestions on why 4G would not work? I can put myself on wifi and it works just fine.
Edit: My area does have HSPA+. I've always used this fine on my other devices: Nexus 5 and OnePlus One. I just got the G3 and now am having 4G issues.

Hoping I fixed it. I created a new APN since the T-Mobile LTE was not editable. I added ipv4/ipv6, previously was only ipv6 and also stripped everything off the APN protocol line.

APN change didn't fix it. Odd. Any ideas? I'm bone stock.
