[Q] Stock-ish Note 2 not receiving MMS - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

I've got an AT&T GN2 running the stock 4.1.2 rom on top of the Perseus 3.0.36 (Alpha-36) kernel. I don't receive many MMS, so at first I thought it was a network issue. This evening I got several notifications that I had MMS that failed to download. It appears that I can not receive from iOS devices at all, and a picture sent from my friend's HTC OneX failed initially, but downloaded on the second attempt. I'm using the "Messaging" app that came installed on the device, not the AT&T Messaging app. I've rebooted and pulled the battery. I've tried switching WiFi on and off, and connected to my home network with no apparent change in symptoms. I can send pictures through MMS just A-OK. Has anyone experienced a similar issue? Any ideas?

My friend has the same issue some say go to settings/more settings/mobile networks/access point names then press soft key press reset to default then reboot. It didn't solve my problem but it might solve yours. Or use Google hangouts. I know that it's been awhile but maybe someone else will stroll by.
Update: it turns out that he had a bad imei number set up, ATT is sending him a replacement.

[Q] CM7 MMS issue

I searched the CM7 thread, but MMS and issue are such vague queries that I was unable to find anything pertaining to my issue.
I can receive MMS fine, but I cannot send at all. I choose the pic I want to send and hit send, and it just disappears. Doesn't show up in the thread of messages. Then when I back out of it, I see the last message I sent that person is (no subject) like it was my pic, but when I go into the thread it is not sent. But it shows up with the pic again like I never sent it. It saves it as a draft. Any time I hit send it does the same thing over and over. I can't even get the pic to delete from drafts. The only way is to delete the whole thread.
I have changed my number in the call settings to show with a +509251xxxx, no dashes or anything. Is there something else I am missing? I have tried several different CM7 builds and all have the same problem.
bump - really? Nothin guys?
Edit: reflashed CM7 and only restored apps+data, no system data and problem was resolved. I assumed since my system data was from a prior CM7 version that it would be no problem, apparently I was wrong. Thank me for all the help
I have the same issue. It doesn't disappear for me, but it just stays there wit the spinning circle thing. It never sends and after a couple of minutes, it says I cannot send the MMS.
Is there a solution without reflashing?
same problem.mine says mms is too large
I have the opposite issue. I've been completely unable to pin down the issue. I can MMS myself pictures and can MMS them to my email, but I cannot receive them. I used to receive them just fine, but now it's an issue.
I've confirmed that I can't receive them from iPhones, BlackBerries, and other Android phones.
I've checked my APN and know it works. I can access Mobile Data.
I've tried third party apps for messaging and that doesn't help.
I've spoofed as an iPhone, BlackBerry, and Custom (Blank) Agent without any results.
I've ensured my phone number in system settings doesn't have any symbols.
Anyone fix this issue?

Uhh, yeah that sucks: I have absolutely no idea, im on GingerVill 1.5 and it works fine, I also flashed sense, regular cm7, miui, and I never had a problem with it..
Try to download handscent or go sms and try that? I doubt that will work but give it a try!

I've got a similar issue -
Using CM7 7.0.3's Mms.apk my phone processes sms no problem, however it will not process mms - send or receive.
Go SMS Pro however will let me SEND picture messages - and Its going through my carrier because in an email to myself it was full of their crap - Sent to you from a Koodo Mobile Customer!
Unfortunately I cannot receive mms; Go SMS implies that it relies on the Mms.apk to forward notifications.
Considering that the Mms.apk isn't syncing with the mmsc properly, I'm assuming the problem lies there. I've even gone so far as to go to one of the phone kiosks and ask to play with their new Nexus S (*drool*) and ripped the apns off of it and uploaded their apn directly to my phone. Still, no dice.
Any suggestions anyone?
I've been having the same problems. Tried lots of things. I was also using Go SMS pro, and thought that was the issue. Tried fooling around with apn, user agent and MMS size etc... Nothing worked except the simple fix:
What I had to do to make it work was to have my mobile network on -- (which I almost always have off from the notification switches). Once it was turned on, it still didn't kick over because I was connected to wifi. So I had to manually disable wifi and then resend the message. It worked fine then.
So:
Turn off wifi
turn on mobile / 3g
resend message
Seems like a simple bug that's keeping the mobile network from kicking on.

[Q] Loss of Voicemail Notification BELL - FIXED

I've got a rooted DesireZ running the latest nightly CM7s.
Ever since I rooted, I no longer receive Voicemail notifications. I bought the phone from Bell and its running on Virgin Mobile, Calgary.
Does anybody know a way to get these working again?
I have searched and, believe I have the APN set correctly for BELL (owns Virgin Mobile). I used to get text messages as well as VM notifications and now get neither.
Thanks,
Mike
I use Visual Voicemail Plus, previouly known as PhoneFusion. You set it up, and it notifies you, and instead of having to call to check VM, you can DL the messages and listen to them, or read them.
Whatever you do don't get phonefusion!.
Tried google voice??
But if you aren't gettin sms as well either try a different STABLE rom and see if it changes. If not call tech support and make sure everything is set up correct. They can correct everything from their screen regardless of it being rooted or not.

Thanks papaBear,
I'll give it a try and see if it works for me.
I do get SMS, just not an SMS with a voice mail notification that I first used to get. On that note, had along discussion with a virgin tech support person that told me that their system didn't send an SMS with a voice mail notification. He was at a loss to explain why I got them. He figured my phone was sending them...After another month, they stopped and just VM notifications came. I've tried a few different ROMS and nothing seems to work now.
Maybe if someone has the Virgin Mobile APN settings, I could verify them. I've searched and found various incarnations of the settings but they always seem to not have all the fields listed.
Thanks,
Mike
saw this after last post....
Why not PhoneFusion?
I'm on Bell and sometimes after flashing/updating ROM's I have to manually set my voicemail number in call settings to get voicemail/notifications.

I have been having the same issue ever since I upgrade to CM7 over a year ago. There is a open issue about this on google code:
http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=2801
Fixed!
After looking at the thread Goozy posted, I found that the update to the radio seemed to be the cure.
I updated the radio as per this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970809
I went straight to the latest, Vision_Radio_12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19
and after a reboot, EFS wipe, it now works.
Left Voice message with phone in Airplane mode and VM notification came into status bar and text message appeared.

[Q] SMS/MMS not sending or receiving

Details:
Phone: Google galaxy nexus (the one before the nexus 4)
Android: Google stock 4.2.2 reinstalled with nexus tool kit after I updated to 4.3 and had multiple issues
Carrier: Straight Talk with an at&t sim
I just noticed yesterday that my text messages sms and mms was not sending or receiving but my phone shows that an sms message it sent but the target does not receive it. I an able to make and receive phone calls and data does work with wifi off. I have checked my apn several times and created a new one a few time to no avail. I have deleted all text threads and still did not work and finally I have factory rest my phone twice creating my apn before restoring and tried sending a text it says it sent but it is never recived. I have looked through many pages on xda-developers and on google and I have found nothing like my problem. any help will be appreciated thanks.
Additional information:
OK so I forgot to say that after reinstalling android 4.2.2 everything was working good. and I am using handcent as my messaging app and I have disabled the native messaging app. I have tried deleting handcent and use the native and the problem did not go away.
Update 2:
I found a thread that someone had the same issues that I'm having and what they had to do was change their smsc number and when I go to do that to mine it already has the right number in it.

[Q] MMS Messages not being sent..Note 3

Ok here goes...I have a rooted Note 3 ..I am running Jedi Elite...I just did the root and ROM on Monday ..As of Thursday I have been unable to send any MMS Messages, I can receive them, but when they are sent they show leaving the phone, but there is no Delivery, just says requested...I called ..Tech Support at TMobile, and they have the engineers on it after changing some settings and having me do a restart which did nothing for the problem..This morning the tech told me that other Note 3 phones are having this issue and had to be returned and traded in..
Has anyone had this problem with the Note 3? Could it have something to do with the Root or the ROM? I am really getting frustrated with not being ale to use MMS and this is the last resort...I was not sure where to psot this so here it is ...As far as I know as of this morning the engineers are still working on this problem...MMS Messaging worked fine until Thursday which tells me that it isn't in the programming of the phone...this is my first time rooting..so if anyone has any ideas on what might be going on I would appreciate it..thx in advance!
UPDATE: Just found out from a friend that MMS messages are going thru now, but phone is not showing DEL REPORT...meaning it is not showing hitting the tower or wherever they go ...I have del report req...always got one with the Note 2..
check your APN settings. I always change the default settings to: default, admin, dun, supl, mms. Ever since Hangout w/ SMS came out, I've never had to use the default SMS app again.
I have had this problem before. Are you running any ad blockers? Try disabling them and send MMS. It fixed it for me when I had this problem.

Reboot works for me
Sent from far far away
Having the same issue no one receives pictures I send them I disabled the ad blocker in hopes of fixing the problem
I was having random issues with mms only for a while. A restart usually fixed it, but I also started having regular network issues. The phone would connect to the tower, and I had data, but it was very slow, or would timeout. I tried to check the APN settings, and see that the stock ones are greyed out, and you can't edit them, so I added the old standard one, and now everything works perfect. Here is what I added in case anyone wants to know.

G4 won't sent text messages (sprint)

Hi everyone,
I just bought my G4 the other day I am running the stock ROM still. This morning I ran into an issue where no one is receiving my text messages. My wife is on sprint also with an iPhone and she is able to send messages just fine so we're pretty sure this is not a network issue. I don't get any errors. In fact it looks like the message is sent but the recipient just never gets it.. I tried calling sprint. They did some she of reset to fix it and had me reboot but that didn't since the issue. I Aldi reset the profile and that didn't fix it either. Shirt of at a loss at this point. Any suggestions would rule.
Issue resolved. Somehow the network setting under settings > more > network mode was set to global. I changed it back to LTE/CDMA and messages went through
