[Q] MMS - Unable To Send Or Receive - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Title is pretty self explantory. Can't send or receive MMS with stock app. It just gets stuck at sending when I try to send, and fails to download when I receive one. I know this has been asked a million times, as I've already scoured xda, google, and anything else I could think of. I've also tried various fixes. So what I'm going to attempt to do here is list my info, as well as the fixes I've tried, and hope that someone more knowledgeable will be able to see what I'm missing or have other ideas to try. Because frankly, I'm tapped. I know this is long and very detailed and boring to read, but I implore you to stay with me, and if you think might be able to help, read the entire post. These are a lot of the questions/info I've been asked by other people who've tried to help.
Phone: Samsung Epic 4G Touch (obviously)
Carrier: Sprint
Android Version: 4.2.2
ROM: Sniper's BAKED BlackBean 8.0 (03/25/13 build)
Let me say that I've been running Sniper's BlackBean since January, updating each time he releases a new build. When I first flashed to it, I had no problems with MMS. And the MMS problems did NOT coincide with flashing anything new, ROM or otherwise. I don't believe it's a ROM-related issue, as lots of other guys in the ROM thread have tried to help me with troubleshooting/fixes and MMS seems to be working for everyone else, just like it was for me until it suddenly stopped working about 3 weeks ago. Since then, here are some things I've tried to fix it.
-Sending an MMS to myself
-Unchecking "auto-retrieve" in the stock messaging app's settings
-Unchecking "delete old messages" in the stock messaging app's settings
-Wiping cache & Dalvik cache
-Dirty flashing the ROM again, with & without wiping caches
-Wiping data, cache, and Dalvik cache and reflashing the ROM
-Going into system/app folder and replacing current Mms.apk with another trusted working Mms.apk, fixing permissions and rebooting.
-APN backup and restore. Downloading a verified working APNs-conf.xml. Pushing the APN Backup & Restore app to system, disabling ICS check, backing up current APNs, deleting current APNs, restoring the verified working xml, and rebooting. Lots of people swear by this fix. Didn't work for me.
-PC Odin all the way back to stock rooted GB27 w/ full wipe, using Mobile Odin to flash a safe AGAT recovery. Then flashing the ROM and gapps, essentially giving myself (theoretically) a COMPLETELY clean start. Sidenote: MMS works fine on TouchWiz, stock and custom TW ROMs.
-While on stock rooted GB27, updating PRL and Profile before flashing back to BlackBean
-Flashing to a custom TouchWiz based ROM where MMS works, then flashing back to BlackBean.
-Downloading GoSMS and going into its MMS settings to customize the MMSC, MMS Proxy & Port. MMS works fine with GoSMS. I can send and receive with no problems. This leads me to believe my APNs are fine, otherwise I wouldn't think GoSMS would work sending/receiving MMS.
Opening "Phone Info" and selecting different things for 'Preferred Network Type'. I almost thought this had fixed it this morning, by switching to CDMA auto (PRL). Suddenly I was able to send and receive MMS with the stock app. I tested for 30 minutes and everything worked fine. Then I rebooted my phone and it stopped working again. I tried repeating the same steps, but couldn't get it to work anymore.
I think that's everything. I'm at my wit's end here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If needed, I can provide screenshots of settings, APNs, or anything that would helpful in diagnosing this and hopefully getting it working.

There is a reason that it is 'random'. The rom flashes replace the APN conf file in /system but that file does not get read every time. It only gets read when the database is recreated (app data wipe for example). It is rarely reread. Once it is reread, if it selects the wrong APN, your hosed. With the updates APNs here, I corrected the APN conf file so that whenever it is reread, it still works.

[Q] Installing Google apps breaks hotspot.

Anyone else having a similar issue as mine?
I was trying to troubleshoot some unrelated issue with my phone, which eventually caused me to flash my ROM from CM9 back to stock and back to CM9 again.
After I flashed CM9, I forgot to install the Google apps package in clockwork mod and continued to boot my rom.
I had discovered that my wifi tether (built into CM9) worked, but then rebooted and installed the gapps package after realizing that I hadn't.
After I had reinstalled the gapps package, I proceeded to check if my wifi hotspot still worked, but it did not (immediately after I engage the hotspot, it automatically deactivates).
Maybe reflash the rom and gapps again?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
Only suggestion I can offer would be to track down the hotspot process in your Apps Management. Go inside of the process and do a Force Stop and Clear Data to get it back as if you were starting it for your first time. I know it's the CM9 integrated WiFi tethering so you might want to check what the process is called. I've spoofed a lot of programs into re-working that way. I hope it works for you too - good luck!

I launched terminal emulator, ran the "top" command, and saw the two services which I believe represent the CM9 integrated wifi hotspot:
iscan_sysioc
dhcp_sysioc
I can't find these two in my apps list to clear its data. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I tried this on EL30 modem, then upgraded to FC09. The hot spot still breaks every time after I install gapps (I just checked, and it's the latest version).
Try reflashing the ROM, but in CWM go to Mount and Storage and format System/Data/Cache. Not using the "wipe data/factory reset" in the main screen. And wipe Dalvik too.

You are right, this might not fix my issue. Does anyone know why installing gapps on my phone breaks the integrated (and third-party) wireless hotspot?

I'm having a similar problem. I flashed a new nightly build of Cyanogenmod and my phone has been "searching for service" all day, no matter what I try -factory resets and/or flashing older builds have not helped. I can't make calls at all ("Mobile network not available"). Any suggestions? I'm going to try flashing back to stock when I get home.

My problem is sort of different, it says I'm not activated. I flashed the same rom you did. This has happened several times.
Still trying to figure this out. I'm positive CM broke it as everything worked fine until I flashed the 1004 nightly yesterday. Even on CleanBean (stock-based ROM) I still have no connection. I'm going to try stock tomorrow or Monday and hope I can get it fixed.

I think I may have a fix for you. Try downloading this app: APN Backup &Restore
and then use titanium backup to convert it to a system app. Then open up the app and disable the "ics check" which should just be under settings when you click the menu button. You'll have to find some apns to use. I think I have a few backups so I'll try to upload them if I can find them, but otherwise try flashing back to a stock touchwiz rom or some other rom where the data works and back up the apns, and then go back to this rom.
Hopefully this help!

[Q] bad cell reception with CM10.2

Hello,
I am ready to pull my hair out! I installed the Cyanogenmod yesterday and my cell reception is terrible. I usually get full bars of 4g coverage in my driveway but nothing since install. I have an AirRave signal booster in the house and I get no data connectivity without wifi and 2 bars when I am standing right next to the signal booster. Different areas of town where I used to be able to count on full 3g coverage - 2 bars and no data. I don't know what to do. I am about to wipe and start over again. Any one, please help...
I have a Sprint GS3 SPH-L710
Did you dirty flash? I never had any problems with CM10.2 connectivity. You might have a bad download or something didn't get flashed correctly. I would do a clean install, ( wipe dalvik, cache, data) and re-download, flash the ROM and gapps .

The above link is from the Note 2 forum (my phone). I was doing some scouting on the S3 (wife's phone) and saw this thread and thought of the one I linked.
I was having major data problems on cm10.2 even after I would go back to a touchwiz rom, update profile prl then do a "clean flash" of cm.
Problem is the way that touchwiz and cm handle the file system.
If you have a data problem in cm, flash a touchwiz ROM, update profile and prl, then go to your file explorer and delete the folder "sdcard/0/android/data/" (the only folder you need to delete is data - since I have everything on my external sdcard, I deleted the whole 0 folder.) Then do a real clean flash of cm and you should be just fine.
Obviously, if you're concerned about losing any data, back it all up before you do anything.

Just another question, what's the harm in staying in CM and 3g only besides not being able to access LTE for the moment?
One thing I do know is any aosp ROM will have this problem. Something to do with ril or to that nature. I hunted a lot of threads on various sprint phones having the same problem.
I just stuck with tw cause the data speeds are so much better, in the same spot on aosp I get about 1.3mbs and tw about 5.5mbs. I hate tw to, can't stand it but it works

not really that time consuming. do a backup of your cm. flash atw. update prl and profile grab apn. back it up. restore cm backup. then restore apn. take no more then 20 minutes.

Thanks again for your help, but I can't find atw (what is it?). I tried looking for a touchwiz rom, but am unable to install...
