Hey guys I'm normally a lurker here. I'm just curious if anyone else is having the same issue. Basically in a jt shell my phone will only and an mms picture until the phone reboots. So basically I go to send a picture and just sits there. Email is fine and once the phone is rebooted it sends it to my work phone. I have checked all the apn settings and even reset them. I've done everything and even Google the issue. I'm fairly certain that it isn't the area of coverage as I've been to Dallas a few times to test that out. Very odd. Any suggestions other than warranty exchange. Lol the main reason I don't want to exchange alor wipe again as I've wiped and it doesn't correct plus in have a great final fantasy game going lol. I'm 32 lol.
have you tried clearing the messenger app cache? Have you tested on wifi and data? Do you have a limit size set for mms? Is this a stock messenger app and is it set to be the default for mms

Hey Gang,
Seeing if anyone has seen any issues with their Epic Touch around the Email app force closing. I had setup my Exchange e-mail, and it worked perfectly fine from last night to this morning, then I've had a ton of issues. I also added an AOL e-mail to it. I've removed/added it 3 times now, rebooted my phone, and performed a factory data reset twice. It works sometimes, but 90% of the time it force closes.
Any suggestions?
Bumping this thread. I have swapped to new hardware, and same thing. I fear it may be something screwy with Samsung's software. I thought it was my exchange e-mail, but after just adding an AOL account, it gave me the same problems.
Does anyone know if rooting this, or going around the default Samsung e-mail work? I have used K-9 & Touchdown, but I shouldn't have to download programs to get this working.

I have been having an MMS issue on and off since january. I have been on CM10 and 10.1 nightlies since December. First it was that they wouldnt send right away, then resending them would work. Wasnt a big deal since i only send a pic like 1 or 2 times a week. Figured it was because it was a nightly issue, never dug into it, figured in a few days it would be resolved in an update kind of thing. Well a few weeks go by and suddenly it stops working. And the only way i can get MMS to send is if i have someone send me a pic first. At this point i did some searching and posted on the CyanogenMod forums, to no avail. Both Handcent(my primary MMS app) and the android default just were not working. But my mobile data was fine on 3g and 4g Well about a week ago it all stopped. I would get the downloading window, but nothing would ever come, and my pics would just spin and spin.
So today i had enough, and did the following:
I downloaded & installed CM10.1 M1 (because it was working for me back then i believe) And immediately got a pic that i sent to myself from my work phone. Thought awesome, problem solved. Brought up titanium backup and restored Handcent & Messaging from backup, and figured my settings and messages would be back and good to go. Boom, MMS no longer works. Restarts, battery pulls, network reprogram, still doesnt work.
Okay, so i go back, bif my cache & settings in CWM and reinstall CM10.1 M1 and MMS works fine. So i wait, make sure its not a timing/network update issue. 20min later it still works. So i figure it must be some setting or my handcent install that was screwed that Titanium Backup restored. Oh well. Install handcent from market fresh thinking that would be the end of it. MMS stops working immediately after install.
Uninstall handcent & restart, MMS works fine on the default app.
I checked the MMS auto download settings in handcent when i had it on there, had it grab the MMS automatically, and while roaming as well, went through every setting screen 1 by 1 because i love handcent, it has always worked for a charm like me and i liked the customization of it.
Does anyone have any input or suggestions on how to get this working?
I am planning on flashing the new Synergy Rom for Galaxy s3, I see it is available for all carriers, but there is no dedicated thread for it on the sprint part, I see it is on the Verizon threat and it says works on all carriers....is there any other files I need to flash along with the main zip to make it work for sprint, or is that included all in that one zip.
source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792499
It's all included... some reports say that with Sprint you need to flash, let it try to boot (it won't boot) and then dirty flash over top of it again and it should boot up
SPRINT GS3 FAQ
It works well. But you can't update profile/prl. Also if you want to install custom kernels must be Sprint versions.

Runs nice. In am on it at the moment.
Synergy ROM + Ktoonz w/ Team Kernelizers tweaks
Phone not yet activated message Sprint S3
Just flashed the synergy ROM, and I could not get the phone to work. I re-flashed it several times, and tried all of the options in the setup before flashing. The data worked fine. The phone would dial Sprint customer svc for a second, and then say phone not yet activated. I had CM 10.1 on there, but that was not for me. I wish this would have worked, but I suspect someone here knows the fix. Maybe a bad download? It took 1.5 hours over slow hotel internet.

unnntil I "lost" data connectivity (it turns it off when you remove the icon in the quick access menu.) And tried "restoring" a good data connection. That made it mad and now I'm back to no service. I am an idiot. I'll re-re-re-re flash it tonight and see what sticks.

I've noticed this as well. I didn't think it would matter at all though. Everything works GREAT that I tried. BUT I found out after using it all day today, that it has a flaw with sending and receiving MMS... For me anyways. I can get on my 3G connection just fine and it pulls up websites, sends and receives emails. The phone also calls out just fine and sends and receives SMS no problem. Everything works great except for the MMS (be it pictures or an audio recording)
I've tried - Updating profile - didn't work
- switching my data connection from LTE/CDMA to just cdma.
- Wiping internal SD card (not just data/cache but the whole SD card VIA cwm) and reflash rom
- I don't know what else to try
Anyone have this problem? Anyone know what I may do to resolve it?
I've looked around and I got to the point where I entered in a special code which would reboot the phone and activate it. Too bad it didn't work and I had to restore the stock rom for it to do that process (Hope it doesn't charge me an activation fee)
Thanks so much for any input! I like the liquid smooth rom I'm on right now, but man I love the camera too much on the touchwiz roms and so far it seems like this synergy not only gives me the speed of aosp but the look of touchwiz and the note2 camera. Would be nice if i can get around this hurtle
Update on my above post
Just an update - I got the MMS to work by using GO SMS from the play store. I thought it was a long shot to install a different messaging app, but now I can both send and receive MMS! It still wont work through the normal messaging app (Sending MMS results in it acting like it went through, but never reaches its destination. Receiving MMS would constantly ask me to download it, then fail when I would click the download button.) But then when I go into this go sms app and try to download it, it works just fine, and sends just fine. The options in this app seem pretty awesome for a free app anyways so I'm actually kinda happy I had to find a workaround
It seems when I downloaded this app, that the messaging app would often forceclose after receiving a mms. To eliminate this, I just went in the messaging app and turned off notifications and auto retrieve MMS. no more force closes
Hope this helps anyone else who may be having this issue!
Have a great weekend!!!

Thanks for this info! This new Synergy ROM is very nice, and I had not noticed the mms issue until today. Mine actually rebooted a few times while the messaging apps fought it out. I think I have it sorted now. I am glad I continued to try getting Synergy installed.

Thanks for the workaround hopefully they try to fix this in the next update. So I've had read that the next's update, the team will concentrate on Sprint :fingers-crossed:
The thread that you provide it, got me thinking allot and I'm afraid of restoring my phone to a backup I had made before installing Synergy Rom. Me thinking if I do something more I will end up having no service or phone number . I never seen this happen before

I guess my fear and guts were correct about my phone giving me a surprise ! Just restore my phone to my backup I made before installing Synergy Rom. Now knowing I can't activate my phone with stock rom =( Phone calls work, Sms seem to works when sending pictures and text. 4G is working but I can't activate my phone. Why? I'm going to start looking for info later on the day

Did you click the activate this device button under settings? That is completely not necessary.your phone its already activated otherwise you wouldn't even be able to make calls. The activate button is for when you first get the device it activates it on sprint's side

I'm rooted with Bonestock Rom. I noticed that I can receive email (Google account) but I cannot send.The email just stays in outbox. I tried turning mobile data off and on even my WiFi.But no go. I have my company email setup with the phone and that works fine.Is anyone else experiencing the same issue?
I haven't run into this with the One, but with my GNEX when I was a flash o holic it happened quite often. I would wipe data, cache, and delvik cache as well then refresh the rom. Also sometimes it helped to download the Gmail app from the market rather than restore a back up of it.

I personally prefer using live mail, but clearing cache sounds like it will probably help, also just simply restarting your phone can help with a lot of stuff. My text messages were taking 15 minutes to send and receive, simple restart fixed that.
I am able to text images to people and they get them with issues. If anybody sends me one it didn't come thru. There is a link that says download and I get a busy cursor and it never downloads. I have tried clearing the cache and clearing the data for the stock messages app. I have tried using Google messages and the same thing happens. Any ideas how to fix this?

Did you check your APN settings and make sure they are right?
Check the APN setting for your carrier, I've had same problem in the past and it was always a problem with the APN setting.
It was working fine until Friday. I will check the apn and see though
It was working fine until Friday and didn't make any apn changes. I just looked and the settings all are what they should be. Sorry for the double pay. My app didn't refresh properly

Are you using a custom DNS entry or some sort of DNS changer? This can and does on occasion break MMS capabilities. I have had this problem and by disabling the custom entry (or app) MMS returns to normal.
Did you do anything or make any changes to or with the phone at all prior to MMS not working?
You could also contact your provider and see if they have any seevice problems or issues. It is possible that there maybe a problem on the providers end.. either provisioning, account setting or something else.
They also may need to refresh the device on the network, sometimes when things like that happened to me this usually solved it.
Two other things you can try and/or check.
If your roaming or not. Depending on the provider and plan you might not be able to send mms while roaming. Either they do not offer data use while roaming, or else a data limit is in use (and you hit that limit).
Try resetting the network settings. On your phone it would be under settings > General Management > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This will rest all the network settings back to default. Only draw back to this is any saved bluetooth devices and WIFI access points will be lost, so you will have to enter them in again.
I had an issue with mms once too and no matter what i did it wouldnt correct itself. Even factory reset. I changed the sim card to a new one and it worked. Dont know why but it worked. If you have an extra one try that.
I had the same exact issue! It started around Oct. 11th. I didn't even know that I was missing images from friends...they thought I was ignoring their texts. This problem was driving me nuts. I had been searching everywhere for answers and can't believe you described the same exact problem.
I'm on an Unlocked N10+ & I flashed the ATT firmware months ago and thought this might have something to do with it. I never owned an Unlocked phone before. Turns out that it was my own user error -->
I hadn't changed any of the APN settings. I was using Pulse SMS, tried Google Android Messages then the stock SMS app. No luck. I reset the network settings around 4 times. I thought this was the fix because it seemed to work for awhile but only with the stock messaging app. New images came in at first & I could only retrieve those older missing photos for the current day. The missing images were all listed as Unknown Caller. Later on in the day, I wasn't receiving images again...in any SMS app.
I was going to restore/reset my phone today but before that I started backing items up and checked my backed up SMS messages and the 2 recent ones said Oct. 31st!!!. WTH!?!
I then went into my Date/Time settings, I toggled the switch on and off again for the Automatic Date and Time. Re-selected my Time Zone and made sure that the Date and Time were accurate. They weren't...
I'm sure that this is where I screwed everything up because I had set my date (a couple of times in the past few weeks) ahead 5 days to see if I'd get the latest software/firmware update. I forgot to switch something back to my usual (and accurate) date & time setting which includes setting my time zone.
So far, this process seemed to work. I'm once again getting SMS/MMS images and videos within Pulse SMS.
