[Q] Am I stupid? mms cyanogenmod and paranoidandroid - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

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,

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.

[Q] Okay I give up.. Text Message problem..

First let me apologize for making this longer then maybe need be. However I want to make sure I point out everything that I think matters. Okay here it goes...
I cannot receive text messages. I can send them, however. Now, I run Cyan, the newest version (6.1 Stable). I have the newest everything.. Radios, Wimax, I mean everything. If I use Nandroid and revert it back to a state a week ago, my texts still will not work, even though it was working at that point in time I made the back-up. I mean I've uninstalled, re-installed, re-applied, re-flashed, re-EVERYTHING and nothing works. The internet, phone calls, any other software, works perfectly fine. I just cannot receive texts and I hope someone can help me out. Even if you think it may not work, I will try it. I thank anyway willing to read this, and trust me I'll check this all the time to see if anyone has a suggestion.
Are you using the stock messaging app? Or are you using something like Handcent? How are you trouble shooting this, are you sending yourself text messages and they aren't coming through? Have you posted on the Cyan thread to see if there are similar problems?
I am not sure what it is or what it could be. are you checking the stock message app and making sure they are there and just not showing up in a 3rd party messaging app?

I am using both. Well first I tried Handcent (since that's what I had installed), but then when I flashed to a brand new ROM, all I had was stock, and that still didn't work. Also yes I checked their forums and kids had problems with texting, but unlike mine. Also they had different phones. Anywho, I am testing this with 3 of my friends, and sending myself (if I think I'm doing something different) with AIM or my mother's phone. I don't know man, I just, don't, know. It's really irritating me though. Thank you though for reading all that and trying to help, it is a mystery.

Go back into recovery, wipe the cache and dalvik at least twice each and reboot. After you've rebooted, update your profile in the settings menu. That *should* help you out.

Hey buddy, I wiped the cache about 5 times in a row, (Juuuust incase, also the dalvik) I've now tried switching back to older radios and older everything. But I can't seem to install ANY sense roms for some reason now. What the heck is going on all of a sudden? Like Fresh, Ava, Re-Engineer, and nothing.
Also, I went here..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=791019
But when my phone boots up, it'll check the .Zip, stop half way, and restart in an endless loop.. So it's like I'm stuck on Cyanogen, and my texts won't come in. I don't know I'm sure everyone is thinking the same thing I am, which is I'm crap out of luck.
Hey there, I fixed my problem, and the only reason I am responding is to not waste anyone else's time, and who knows maybe someone else eventually will have this problem.
Anyway, I'm not sure what exactly fixed it, but I went into recovery, deleted every single thing I could delete, Hell, I even deleted the sdcard stuff (I'd imagine it makes no difference, but I was desperate). I installed the "Ava" rom and for some reason when I deleted and formatted Everything, "AVA" was actually able to boot up, the moment I went through the steps with Sense, it asked me to log in, and I did. A couple seconds later, I heard "Dling, dling, dling, dling, dling.." for a straight minute. Then all at once I had my 68 messages. ...Which makes me wonder, where the F were they before they got to my phone? Just floating around in the air? Like did the text message float to my phone when I was on Cyanogen and say, "Nope, nevermind." and float back away only to return when I put AVA on? ...Phew.. Sorry, just relieved. Thanks everyone who tried helping, I appreciate it!
Simple answer to what happened:
Sometimes EPST updates the radio's profile and PRL and all that in the background. Since CM doesn't have EPST, it can't do that, and after a while it "expires". You basically just have to flash a Sense ROM and it'll fix it.
Now, as for your "unable to boot" problem, that's due to the new radio version not being compatible with older HTC kernels. Only AOSP and 3.70-based kernels can boot with the latest radio.
Ta-da!

No kidding? That's amazing, you're the champ. Thank you for the explaination, it makes perfect sense. I'm not to um, cell phone savvy yet so this is new to me. However now I know to always keep a Sense ROM on my sdcard just for that sake alone. Thanks again man.

can receive MMS but not send

This started a while ago. Even using Handcent I can receive MMS but not send it out. It says that they have been sent but they never get received on the other end. It worked perfectly until I flashed to FC24, and I just installed CM9 thinking it would help but it didn't.
It's a SPH-D710 on Sprint network
I already tried deleting the telephony.db file clearing data/cache and rebooting. That didn't help. I found a BoostMobileMMSFix.zip but I'm assuming that won't work for me, even though they were describing the same problem. So I'm a at a loss. Any help would be awesome. I saw references to a ##DATA# method for this problem but couldn't actually find out how to implement it.
Thanks a lot
I can't imagine that I am the only person out there on the Sprint network that this has happened to. Hopefully someone will be able to shed some on the situation soon.
Question---- if I updated with the BoostMobileMMSFix.zip... would it do something horrible to my phone? Or would it simply not work? Is it worth trying?
-dt
Hi, a similar thing happened to me recently on my phone and it turned out that because it is a work phone they changed the settings for my phone to block outgoing mms. Is your phone a work phone? Have you tried restoring your nandroid backup (I assume you have one) of your original ROM and checking to see if it works on that? If it doesn't then its something on the carrier side of things :/
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
Well I don't think it's something on the carrier side of things, because it started happening IMMEDIATELY after I flashed out of my stock ROM. Unfortunately, I don't have a nandroid backup because when I started this endeavor I was such a NOOOB and I did it hastily.
Could this be an NVRAM issue? Would it be worth resetting that? If so, can you tell me how please?

So I just went all the way back to EK02 and still could not send MMS. After a few Sprint auto-updates I'm in ICS again with FH13. Still no MMS. I tried to update the APN settings (while I was still in CM9 before I flashed to EK02), but I don't think I did it right. I updated the settings to what I found here (http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-sup...86-fixed-sprint-mms-problem-apn-settings.html) but that did not help. Every time I saved it I went from having Sprint listed in the APN settings to having nothing. In other words, it disappeared. Currently thinking I will just stay here till I figure it out. Maybe call my carrier (which is actually CREDO, but it's on the Sprint network)... could be something on their end, right?

Good call on that one. I assumed since they're on the same network they'd use the same settings. They don't. But I still have a problem. I am on CM9, so I can't use a third party app to restore APNs.
I found CREDO's settings here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1824916
However, the list of parameters in the xml there does not match the settings I can modify in the APNs manually in CM9 (accessing it through Voice Dial). Is there another way to restore APNs in CM9? Or can I some how flash backward to Gingerbread, restore, and then flash back without changing the APNs?
Please help, I feel like I'm getting so close to figuring this out!
EDIT: brooksyx -- your link goes to the same post on a different site. i didn't see that before i found the one here. Thanks for searching for me!

thankss Bannjio for your reply. are u on boost mobile too? also are you using stock ICS FH13? cuz ill be honest i never tryed updating the profile or PRL to see if it fixed the problem. and now since i couldnt send MMS iam running the older gingerbread EL29 where my MMS works fine.. but if i can find a Fix for MMS to go back to FH13 ill be happy.cuz i do remember doing something like what you just told me but on my old EPc 4G . now since this a second generation of the Epic Touch i dont know if it is he same story. i just dont want to redo my phone again toFH13 and update the PRL or profile and endup with the same thing about no MMS again.. thanks
No problem, I can see not wanting to reflash only to have it not work. I am on sprint not boost mobile, and on a custom rom not stock fh13. However, the problem arose for me when I switched from an ics rom back to a gb rom. Mms didn't work on the gb rom until after I ran prl and profile update.
If you end up giving that a shot, be sure to let us know how it goes. Sorry I can't be of more direct help.

Quick question about Android 4.2.2 Roms

Hello everyone,
A quick question I'd like to pose to everyone about Android 4.2.2 Roms out there. Is anyone else having this issue, does anyone know what may be causing this issue?
I have flashed a couple 4.2.2 roms (jellybam and liquid smooth) and I have tried two visual voicemail programs. An apk of the normal sprint visual voicemail (worked with liquid smooth 4.2.1). And Google voice. Each for whatever reason will only use speakerphone for output. Both programs I have went into the settings to make triple sure that the normal ear speaker is selected as default. And even when toggling while playing a voicemail, the output doesn't change. I don't see anything in the phone settings relating to this issue.
Any ideas comments or questions for me?
Thank you!

And even when toggling while playing a voicemail, the output doesn't change. I don't see anything in the phone settings relating to this issue.
Any ideas comments or questions for me?
Thank you!

can you post where you got the sprint voicmail apk. I'm running LS 4.2.2 stable and would like to install it to test it on my phonel
Look up sprint VVM for cm10 and you'll find it

Happened to have one on drop box. Working fine for me.
Not all ROMs have this issue, but yes, on Google Voice, some ROMs play out through the loudspeaker.
This occurs, for sure, on both $MyName's AOKP and task650's AOKP, as well as a handful of other ones that I've tried. PACMAN does not have the issue, nor does ParanoidAndroid, last I checked.
I've accepted the issue and stuck with AOKP myself.

Nearly everyone gets that. I can't get rid of it for the life of me and I've tried every method out there. If you do some research you'll find a bunch of methods and hopefully one will work for you

yeah I've done that I've also done that method where you send a voicemail message to [email protected] and apparently that gets rid of it for some people but nothing worked for me sadly. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I just learned to deal with it honestly it's not the worst thing in the world

Just download a program that blocks txt messages and block the number. Problem solved solved

You might not have to wait that long to get the official 4.2.x ROM. Multi-view is coming in next update (credit to sextape).

Boost Mobile data fix for 4.3 AOSP roms.

This is for 4.3 AOSP roms.
Boost: https://www.dropbox.com/s/yu7swfntbuki6x8/BoostMobileMMSFix4-3.zip
Virgin: https://db.tt/7FRhsoXp
This seems to be hit or miss with VM. I have had people verify it working on the first 4.3 build of DU. You tell me. I know some people use this with Roam Control from the market as well.
Cricket: https://www.dropbox.com/s/96y7kebx7zs70zp/Cricket_JIG_Fix_4_3.zip
*Note- for cricket to work, you'll need to replace your current mms.apk with the one supplied in the JB folder (don't forget to set perms to rw-r-r), and manually edit your build prop to change the MNC from 120 which is sprint to 016 which is cricket.
*Creds to @t0xicdr3am for helping figure that one out.
I'm only really supporting boost mobile as I get hit and misses with VM and cricket in terms of people telling me they work for them. I don't have either of those services to test, so I cannot support them, however I will leave them available for you to try if you wish- use at your own risk.

Like I said this is for 4.3 AOSP roms. I just edited the APN version and added the correct proxy, so the updater script still says the same thing when flashed, however the file name makes it distinct so you don't confuse it with the old fix for prior versions. This is an edit of the old fix.

Yeah ill most likely have VM and Metro out in a couple of days. Maybe cricket.
Two infant daughters and work plus having to do this from my phone...
Edit... OK. I won't be doing metro or cricket. They require emulators. I don't have a computer setup to decompile binaries right now.
https://db.tt/7FRhsoXp Can somebody test this 4.3 mms fix for virgin?

I applied this to mine, I'm on VM running Hood Pope cm10.2, and I'm pretty sure it stopped my data from working, but I did notice that I received an MMS when I wasn't able to before.

If it stopped your data you wouldn't be sending mms.

lol, as I posted that, I realized that. I suppose I don't really know what caused my lack of data connectivity. I'm going to play with it more this weekend.
Bump for Cricket fix.
I'm running dirty unicorns with virgin, and my data was also cut when I flashed this.
However, I was able to send one picture to myself right before the data cut indefinitely.

I have others who are using it with no issus specifically on DU??? I can't replicate anything as I don't have a VM phone. Sorry. You're free to avoid this if it doesn't work for you.
I know he changed some stuff in the second build of 4.3 that came back with issues concerning data and a few other things. If anybody else has VM let me know if this stopped working.
I'm running hood pope, and I'm able to download mms, but 3g doesn't turn on when I open apps that use it. I haven't been able to pin point when data starts and stops yet. There's definitely been some kind of change concerning the data.

If you are getting data and able to send MMS and receive it, then this isn't screwing with data. This is verbatim the same exact fix with nothing but apn vversion changed to what 4.3 uses. Its the same format as the included stock apnconfig file but with tje ports and proxies and so on changed to meet the demands of vm.
Did you guys wipe cache and davlik?

I was able to recieve mms, and saw that 3g works, but now it seems data only works when I download a mms.
I just dirty flashed it, didn't wipe either of the caches. Would it be best to do it before or after applying this, or both?
The only thing I can think of with my limited knowledge of how these work is that there was some fix in hood pope that allowed for data to work where other roms didnt have data working, and this changed that. But I don't really know enough to be able to speak with confidence about it.

Wipe wipe wipe. I go as far as fixing permissions sometimes. With my limited knowledge I'm guessing if there is an issue its what you just mentioned or if caches weren't wiped, apps could be dependent upon old configs of data that are cached.
Or I absolutely could have botched the VM fix. If cache wipes don't work I'll get the latest hood pope config and edit that. I'm no developer haha. I'm just a dude with a text editor on his phone and 7zip. I've deved a ROM before... But maybe I'm rusty.
Yeah I just dirty flashed it too. I'll try it again in the morning and be sure to wipe everything. I'll let you know if it works out.
Need to fix the MMS for my cricket on 4.3, is it working for anybody yet?

Okay so yesterday I wiped both caches and flashed it, mms was working, I would get "3g" to show up over the signal bars whenever it was downloading a message, but whenever I opened an app that used data, it would say that there's no network connection.
I restored, flashed again and it is the mms fix that causes the data loss. If you could edit the Hood Pope's apn, that would be awesome!
This does fix mms, but does something to the data, too.

t0xic says it works.

4.4 no mobile connection? no baseband? no IMEI? solution

It's been said a few times that SELinux settings have an effect on mobile connection on some phones, not all, but some. Mine being one of them, that theory has also been criticized, ironically by those who's phones do not suffer from the issue. Anyways, if your trying a 4.4 ROM and have no APNs, no baseband, IMEI etc grab SELinux mode changer from the market, set to Permissive and be on your way. Why or what causes it is beyond me but changing to Permissive solves it. It takes a few seconds after boot for supersu permissions, a few seconds then for your APNs to be populated and baseband, after that you will get mobile connection working.
Hope this helps someone else fighting the same issues. Here's a video showing before and after, a little wait at the APN screen the second time for them to be populated. Also, sorry for the quality, just easier to record the screen directly compared to holding a camera.

Glad it was of help, just passing on what I have read and tried to make it easier to find so made a thread for it, some of us have the issue but appears the majority do not.
I had the issue initially when installed with twrp, did it once again with cwm, worked like a charm. Good info to keep in mind though.
anybody got the apk handy they can upload? flashed the latest cm nightly not knowing it was 4.4.1, and the store won't connect via wifi for whatever reason.. i'd rather not have to do a clean install to get my phone working again.
Thanks.
Nevermind, I managed to pull it from the woman's unrooted moto x. It's here if anyone else needs it..

just out of curiosity. vAre you guys having any issues with the AOSP roms slowing down the data speeds? I know people have said for a long time since GB I think that the tw roms are much faster than AOSP I never saw that on HSPA+ but I am on simple moble and they just turnrd on their LTE and my phone gets an average of 28 down and 14 up. on tw roms but on AOKP or other AOSP roms it gets 8 up and 3 down. Like the lte is not working. Anyone else have these problems?
I love you.
