I am running cm7 final but I have been having the opposite problem, I can send but there are some I can't receive. When I have this issue the mms is usually coming from a person not on the Sprint network ...

If you're having issues sending/receiving mms, try the following.
Using adv launcher, create a shortcut to custom activity.
Specifically, settings/*apn*. I can't remember the exact name, but you'll have to navigate the list of junction points when you do the settings pull down.
Once created, go ahead and tap on the shortcut. You'll see 2 apn settings. One will have sprintpcs.com in the MMSC field, the other wont.
For the one that does not, scroll down to APN type. Change the parameter in that field to 'default' (small letters without the quotes).
For the other one, change it to 'mms'
Reboot. You should be good to go.

Read post 6321 and that will solve this MMS problem!
Not trying to sound like an ass and if I am then that's fine because I know I am BUT it took you longer to post your question on here then it would of taken you to search for it in the right place.

Why do people call a release that still has issues and needs special fixes, stable?

Well......is kind of like comparing peanuts to apples here BUT take Windows for example! Windows gets released right?! Well is suppose to be BUG FREE and completely sable correct? WELL it isn't! Not every rom on here is 100% BUG FREE and it needs updates/little things fix from time to time because not every phone acts the same way to every rom! CM7 works flawlessly on my phone but as you can see, dude has issues with his MMS! Not trying to start an argument or anything on here BUT don't act all high and mighty because you're using a sense rom where things happen to work a bit better!
It takes bigger balls to do something completely different like an AOSP rom then just play around with .PNGs and call it a ROM! I could take a sense rom and use it as a base and change a couple of things, add some wallpaper and upload it but am I going to?...NO!!...because that's just stupid!

I'm not acting all high and mighty. I just happen to be using a sense ROM now. I've ran CM, too. And Miui, et al.... Like I told someone yesterday, when I buy a new car, I don't need to add things to make the lights go on, or do some fanangling to make the wipers work. MMS is a basic feature of the phone. The basics, like GPS, etc, should work by default, not because you have to type some weird code into you dialer, oh, and do it on another type of mod first, then flash back to CM......

exactly! im not sure why cm7 was finaled, too many bugs yet compared to the deck rom or salvage-mod rom which both are 100% functional.

I'm not getting what you guys are saying about bugs. I have experienced none. Mms, GPS, wimax all work out the box.

Bad Sound Quality on Calls

Hey guys and gals. I've been active in the Sprint GS2 dev forums for over a year but this is my first post in the TMo section. I just bought my wife a new TMo GS2 that had never been activated. It already had the UVLE1 ICS update on it. When she calls me (or anyone else) her voice sounds muffled and there's what sounds like background noise when she is speaking. When she isn't talking, the background noise goes away. Just wondering if anyone is having this issue. She never used the phone with GB so we don't know if it has anything to do with the update. I told her tonight to try a factory reset to see if that helps and I was also considering flashing back to stock GB with Odin. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated

I know it. Skype quality is very fine. But the normal calls are a so bad. Open the call window -> go in the option menu and de/activate the (i dont know the word in english) "Noise suppression". Test both. After the change it should working correctly.
You can check your microphone. Do a test call with skype or some other internet call app.

Thanks. Last night I was at work and told her to go into her phone app, open settings, and look for a noise suppression option. She said there was no setting for that. Maybe she's looking in the wrong place. I'll try a Skype call to see if the Mic is ok. I might root her phone and flash some modems to see if that helps, too. I can flash older GB modems, right?

That's definitely the most likely solution when you find it. That has popped up all over the forums and most everyone seems happy with it.

Thanks. Yes I've now seen where this topic has been talked about quite a bit. I was on Tapatalk when I posted and it does a lousy job of searching. The stock ICS update doesn't have the noise suppression feature. I've downloaded the files I need so tomorrow I'm going to root the phone with Zedomax's Odin method, flash CWM and Superuser, then try different modems.

Call quality fix?

I am currently having an issue with my phone calls. Anyone who I call cannot hear anything I say. I'm told that I sound extremely distorted and muffled. However, I am able to use Google search voice commands just fine. So it isn't the microphone itself. I am using Psychos Cm9 9.1, but I have the same problem when I restored my backup of MIUI 2.4, so I'm guessing it's not the ROMs either. I read something about changing my settings to something called EVRC-B, but l the methods I have tried to get to the menu to change the settings haven't worked.
Any input would be appreciated.

or he or she is holding the phone against their chin, or there's lint stuck in the Mic hole, or their friends are jerks. Lots of possibilities...

Unless my doctor are mother are in on the joke... Haha.
I used a voice recorder app, and I sound fine. It is only through calls.
I admit I'm kind of a noob since I mainly mess with ROMs, so I could easily be wrong here, but could it perhaps be the radio...?

That is exactly where I would be looking now. I personally find the 1111 radio to be the best. Results vary though. Worth trying a couple at least to see what works for you.

Here you go.
make sure to read the instructions. You don't flash it like a rom. Don't forget to remove it from the sd after you're done or you'll regret it (briefly).

So the link on that page for 1111 didn't work. The 4shared page wasn't available.I couldn't find it on Google since all the links were for a multiupload page that directed me to some other site. I downloaded 1.09.01.0312 instead, read the instructions, and got confused. What is the Android SDK folder? I went into hboot and updated that way. I called my girlfriend, who had the biggest problem with my phone call quality, and she said it was extremely better. So hey, it worked! Problem solved!
Thanks for your help, I appreciated it.

You cant change EVRC in an AOSP ROM - but you can switch back to a stock ROM (Sense 2.1) and any changes you make will stick.
Even if you ask your phone to use the EVRC-B codec, there is no guarantee that the tower will process the request, as that codec uses more bandwidth. Dropped calls and such can (and probably will) occur because of the fight for bandwidth.
On the stock Verizon ROM dial ##778# - enter six zeros and you will find the menu to make changes. Be sure to commit modifications.

[Q] Am I stupid? mms cyanogenmod and paranoidandroid

Hi all,
I have been hunting around for the last three days and cannot find a unified answer as to why MMS does not work on my i747. No MMS function is kind of a deal breaker. I have changed APN settings a number of times to no avail. Switched from PA to CM and back no wipe and full wipe etc and still no dice. Does anyone have any solutions that are repeatable? If so I would love to make it known.
Frustratedly,
999

are you using any type of startup programs?
if you are see if you checked the messages app and if you did uncheck it.

Not sure what you mean by startup apps but the phone was pure as the driven snow and still nothing. If you can consider cm pure

Does everything else work? Like phone calls, texting, and cellular data? If so, more than likely APN related. Who is your service provider?

Yeah. Everything else is fine. Sms is good and quick. Data speeds are tip top. Mms messages just stall out at "sending" I use ATT in Colorado.

Well if everything else is working properly, then I'd almost bet it's APN related. Double check, and make sure everything is entered properly, periods,spaces, capitalization. If so, and it still doesn't work, did u make a backup of stock before u ever flashed a custom ROM? If so, restore it and see if they work. Also, have u updated your modem?

Can you receive mms messages? Because I recently couldn't send picture messages, but could receive them. Turns out picasa uploader had some corrupt data. I would make sure that app isnt frozen or accidently uninstalled

Some of the newer ROMs have issues with resizing the image being sent - it is larger that AT&T will allow. I don't remember what thread it was in but someone mentioned that there was a change made to the mms.apk that caused the issue. They posted an APK that they pulled from a ROM from June (I think it may have been a CyanogenMod nightly).
--edit--
I think it was polobunny that posted it. I'm too tired to look for it but his post in reply to fastest963's post on a possible CyanogenMod resolution to the issue in the thread listed below.

I had that same problem with Slimbean. I sent them a logcat and the fix had something to do with "the lack of hugemem for kernel".

Not sure if this is applicable, but this guy posted a fix on a thread for MMS issues on a 4.3 ROM. Perhaps worth investigating?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44956784

umm...
what carrier are you? bell? rogers? ect...
i run pac on bell and get mms fine.

I had the same issue as the op. I use the app handcent SMS app from the play store and that fixes the issue sometimes. I was on cyanogenmod 10.2 when I had the issue.

So it looks like I was suffering from the ATT/cm photo resizing issue that was referenced a few replies back. The most recent nightly addressed it and it seems to work well now. Going to try to send a bunch of pictures of various sizes to verify its functionality but it looks like people with ATT and i747s should be on an even playing field on CM. I wonder how soon paranoidandroid will have this update.

I have had this issue on almost all ports and CM roms. Compounded by living in a poor service area. The only consistent fix for me is what Bruce Lee suggested and use a 3rd party sms, I like GOsms personally. Actually I like stock better so I turn off notifications in Go and greenify it until I need to send a pic.

I dont think I've tried again after fixing permissions so ill try that. Thanks. If its that easy, I'll be both happy and pissed that I didn't try that. I noticed earlier in this thread someone said something about the picassa uploader. I usually freeze that app, and was just searching for what it does. If you don't mind me asking, are you aware of any issues that may cause in sending MMS? Seems to only be involved with uploading to an account, which I dont have.

Only problems I've had with MMS are as follows:
"Sending" bug - either fix with "Fix permissions" in recovery, or just using a different mms.apk from a ROM it did work on (4.3)
APN settings - only happened once on a 4.2.2 ROM, don't remember which
Never used picassa uploader, or froze it (I don't use TiBu). But recently with the 4.3 ROM's I've tried fixing permissions is all it's taken for me. Just to be safe I've made it a practice to Fix Permissions 3 times before rebooting, also clearing cache/dalvik

Ok. Thanks. I just noticed newest CWM doesnt have fix permission so i did it through scripter. Only tied once though. It didn't work with that one try. I have also tried pushing new mms.apk but no luck. Ill try a couple more fix permissions and try again. Always nice to have new oprions for this fix so thank you again for the response.

No problem, but the newest CWM doesn't have it? I'm using Philz CWM ported by blackwing (somewhere in android dev), it's under advanced options for me. Which MMS.apk did you try?

I'm currently using novaGen ROM cm10. I tried different MMS.apk from his mrom and also a couple themed aosp apk's I grabbed from somewhere. The weird thing is, I use cool tool to monitor data sent and speed, and I can see data slowly going out but they never complete. However gosms worked on the first try. I used TW ROMs like Goodness for a long time with the same results. I also just got a new s3 cause my IMEI and or my hardware got borked and I lost my backup, so ive eliminated the phone as the issue. I do live in a tough service area but still after 45 min it fails. I get around 25% signal strength. I have tried in a better area in the past but not too recently. Same results.

Hangouts on CM10

Since I am considered a new member, I cannot post this to the correct section (maybe a MOD can confirm or move?)
However, I have a Canadian Galaxy S3 from Wind, SGH-T999V
Yesterday, I installed CM10. After many issues trying to flash, I realized I have to start at 10.0 and work my way up.
I am now on 10.2 nightlies.
Just wanted to know if anyone else is having issues receiving Hangouts messages?
I get them fine on my Hangouts add-on in Chrome on my Mac, but not on my phone...
Any ideas or does anyone else have the same issue?
Thanks!

Couple things here:
You don't have to work your way up to CM 10.2. Just start with it.
If you are running Hangouts in Chrome on your Mac - if the window is open, the phone will not receive a notification. This is by design.
But if Chrome is not running, you should get them. Also, ensure that you have the notifications enabled in the app, and that the app is actually running in the background.

I had issues installing 10.2 Direct, and had to do 10.0 first, then 10.1, then 10.2 .. maybe I did something wrong?
Who knows, been flashing roms forever but just recently decided to flash a custom rom again...long story.
Even if Chrome is closed, laptop off, nothing. I have sent from mobile, to a friend, TESTING, PLEASE REPLY. And nothing until I check manually.
Thanks for the suggestion though!
