I have flashed the MIUI.us 1.9.9 on my phone the other day, and MMS will not work with anything i try. I have tried flashing some random .zip file for CM7, thinking it may work. Nothing.
I have tried to fix the APN settings: by flashing back to stock rom (2.1-update1), backing up the apn with the app, flashing back to MIUI and restore apn's. still nothing. I did this with another apn app. Again nothing.
I then tried to set up the apn setting from my carrier (GCI Alaska) from this: forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/26942-apn-settings-for-gci-cellular/. Again nothing.
And I have rebooted after everything i try.
What could i be doing wrong?
MMS doesn't seem to work for me on any ICS based custom ROM (It just says "Sending" forever).
Is there anything I can try or do?
Telus DHD, unlocked on Rogers Wireless.
Tried Ice Cold Sandwich & C&CICS and something else I don't remember.
Thanks.
EDIT: Resolved. Switched to aospX and it works. Apparently issue is just with those other ROMs.

The only thing I've done to make it work is to flash to a newer radio :
I was testing it with 26.06.04.14 radio but MMS wasn't working.
since I reflash with 26.14.04.28 radio and now it's working !
Hope it help others.

Thanks for the advice, but unfortunately I just tried it and MMS on 26.14.04.28 on Ice Cold still doesn't work.
Could you both test do disable Wifixmanager in Applications then reboot.
After the reboot, please enable Wifi, wait a minute then disable wifi again and test to send MMS again please (Be sure to have Data enabled).

I never even turn on WiFi so I doubt that has anything to do with it, but sure give me a bit and I'll backup and then switch back to ice cold and give that a try...

Try sending the MMS twice back to back. I have had to do this on alot of ICS roms. The first one will stay sending but when it I make the mms a second time and send it then it normally goes right threw even though the first one is still sending

Never got this issue. for me even sending twice the MMS it was still in sending state.
I just disabled Wifixmanager and flash radio.
To be sure Lord asked me to flash the old radio to test if it was a radio Issue and it wasn't working anymore.
I reflash back to the last radio and it was working ...
I just can share my personnal experience
EDIT : Important thing i had to ENG S-off to flash ...

Oh your last post sounded like you wanted me to try that. If you are just trying to help me then I am just going to leave it. I am happy with the ICS ROM I am using with working MMS.
Thanks though.
no problem I like very much this community.
Hope it may help somebody.
1 - Is your APN set correctly.
2 - You do know mms need your data on to send and receive mms, it will not send or receive thru wifi.

For all Ting users having issues with mms, sms, and lte using aosp/aokp/cm/eos/pac/pa/bs/modified stock roms.
If you don't know what Ting is or are not a Ting subscriber you do not need this for any reason.
If you are a Ting user you will need the Ting APNs for LTE and MMS.
These Fixes are not phone specific. Should work on all Ting capable Devices.
FOR BEST RESULT: INSERT INTO ROM BEFORE FLASHING!
============= 4.4 KITKAT APNS ====================== (5-20-2014)
Final for 4.4 octhrope apns 4.4!
============ NEW APNS FOR ALL ROMS ============ (11/1/2013)
V7 for 4.1 / 4.2 octhrope lite apn v7
V8 for 4.3 octhrope lite apn v8
PLEASE POST SUCCESS or FAILURES! (Rom, Radio, APN)
IF THERE ARE ANY TING USERS OUT THERE WITH WORKING MMS ON AOSP ROMS - PLEASE SEND ME YOUR APNS-CONF.XML!!! (/system/etc/)
It would be greatly appreciated!
Big THANKS to bigfdaddy2, tabormeister, VoluntaryMan, and poo706!!!
Thanks to all who have submitted information or data!
REMEMBER! Always Backup Apns before flashing. Flash at your own risk. hopefully this helps others.
I am not affiliated with Ting; other than being a customer, Ting has yet to,(or may never),endorse or acknowledge these apns.
Notes:
[5-20-2014] - Updated 4.4 Apns to smaller format.
[11-1-2013] - Added Lite roms for both v7 and v8. v7 is 4.2 and 4.1, v8 is 4.3.
[10-30-2013] - Did some fiddling with making a universally accepted apn. I usually test everything before I upload it. That being said this is a test version I haven't used yet...
[9-23-2013] - New installer script courtesy of VoluntaryMan. Implemented as hotfix.
[9-20-2013] - Injecting the APNs into the rom before flashing seems to help. In my experience the system lost the apns after the first reboot and flashing them again made them stick.
[9-9-2013] - If its still not working, LGNPST the Teeny Original bin then the Teeny Alt Bin SLB Stack. Do one, the phone restarts; then do the other.
[8-27-2013] I am going to try to assemble a Frankenstein's Monster APN with every Sprint/Ting APN I can find and give that a shot too. So if the lights start to flicker you'll know why...
Unsuccessful so far...
[8-23-2013] update: Pulled the APN Stock files out of the ZVB rom... 3 different apns; looks like US, EU, KR.
ZVB Stock Deodex APNS
[8-23-2013]I'm going to try to pull the APN from a stock rooted phone at some point to compare with the clean, and custom ones. If anyone has one just pm a link. thanks.
[8-7-2013] Also am having some success with reflashing the jb modem. gives me the you've lost data error when im in the bathroom and loose data but not sending multiple sms messages.
[7-12-2013] If you use a Custom User Agent, (messages > settings > custom user agent) dont use iphone as Ting does not support them.
[7-2-2013] Some Ad Blocking programs will block mms. idk why the phones apns are not excluded from the shiz but adding your apns to the white list or removing the app should fix it.
manual fixes
fix 1
Open Voice Dialer, say "Open APN's"
Change all http://mms.sprintpcs.com to http://mms.plspictures.com
Select one of the profiles with the correct MMSC in it.
Reboot
fix 2
Open your root explorer, navigate to /system/etc and find apns-conf.xml
Copy it to another location
Change all instances of http://mms.sprintpcs.com to http://mms.plspictures.com
Copy and paste it back into /system/etc - overwrite old file
Reboot

Setting a Custom User Agent TEMPORARILY Fixed the issue (messages > settings > custom user agent) Nokia N95.
did a bunch of testing and this is the only solution that was consistent. i suspect that Ting has no support for a generic android device on their network. after a couple days its back to not working.
fix 3
i did fix 1 but added the proxy and the port to all of the APNs (this might be wrong...)
proxy: 68.28.31.7
port: 80
reboot and sent picture.
EDIT: This method might help? Someone should go back to stock, backup working APNS and test them on CM. I can do this eventually. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35338440&postcount=7

That's basically the ting APN file above. I didn't have success pulling the apns off of a stock based jb ROM. Maybe if I new the location... I could just adb into it and pull the config file out.
I may be incorrect here, but it feels like there might be another setting somewhere... Like a MMS only setting hanging out.
Also bumped up to 4.3, when doing the open apns trick it shows no apns. Which is strange because I flashed them and the Lte is working.

I've noticed that too, on the GS3 on Ting. I haven't checked if my LTE and picture mail are working, I've just been using stock sprint apns for the last few days.
If you mean the location of the apn-config.xml, it's in /system/etc and one doesn't need to be rooted on stock to read/copy it.

I meant another place where the phone holds apns or settings for apks.
I noticed there is an extra hyphen in all of the stock apns before the <apns. I wonder if it makes a difference.

That's interesting...maybe LG stock reads apns differently for some reason? Oddly just flashed to 4.3 this morning w/BaNkS gapps, wiped cache/dalvik/system, and on boot LTE worked fine. I haven't tested mms yet though
I didn't mean to sound condescending, whoops my bad.

really? i always have to flash a apn list otherwise it wont get lte. I've been testing handcent again today because it has a place to enter custom mms apns... still not sending. Talking with the peeps on IRC, mms is a crap shoot on all aosp roms. they were saying 50% of the time it doesn't work. which makes this job even harder. IDK, maybe there is more to the apn settings than we can see or maybe the stock rom calls home or can access something differently.

I know, it's weird, but both devices I've flashed 4.3 on I wiped system (in twrp, assuming it does a decent job?) and lte worked on boot. I'm actually kind of confused about it, but also not complaining.
Maybe gosms? I've heard it also has custom mms settings. The most curious thing to me is that the phone thinks it's sending mms but they never actually are received by the other end.

No way! Maybe LG stock has apn code baked into the messaging app somehow then? I'm tempted to just download an lg zip and dig around. OR do you think it has something to do with the EFS partitions? Digging around in EFS backups and a stock zip.

im thinking its buried in one of the partitions... but the lg message apk is 3 times the size of the aosp one. could be either. apk would prob be easier to go through.

Hi,
I have a question about MMS. To send my mms I must turn on manually my data and I can't receive any mms if my data is off. I have this issue with all ROMs except SlimBeam. On Slimbean,no need to turn on manually the data, it's automatic.
Someone is able to explain me..why ? :laugh: Why Slimbean is so special ROM ? I can't solve this issue and I can't understand baucause the APN settings are the same on all ROM.
Thanks.
Anyone else having problems sending or receiving with MMS on the nightly builds for CM 12.1? My SMS works just fine.
I have Ting, which may be part of my problem. I am using the same APN settings that use to work for MMS in CyanogenMod 11.
Yep. I've been fighting this for 3 days now. I must have tried every CM 12.1 variant out there with the same result. The APN list shows Ting... but you cannot select it, modify it, or save it. Reset to Default APN doesn't work... Rebooting 18 times doesn't work... flashing the various APN "fixes" like for FreedomPop, MVNO_CDMA, etc doesn't work. But like you... SMS, Phone, and Data (on WiFi) work fine. However, MMS and data (on 3G/4G) don't work.
What has worked... backing off to either a Stock ROM or CM 11. So something in these recent CM 12.1 builds is just broken. The only reason I was trying to upgrade from CM 11 to CM 12.1 was because of that StageFright vulnerability. So I may just go with the Stock ROM until I see the CM 12.1 APN issue for Ting has been resolved.
I've been using the clear google messaging app from the TBO updater app and just installed their latest hangouts to try. They both have been handling mms better than any other messaging apps and sometimes the stock mms will work by just having the gmessenger app installed. I've been rom hopping lately and it seems pretty much the same for me across most CM12.1 based ROMs. Also, you could try editing the actual apns-conf.xml file under /system/etc/ back it up first tho and for permissions 644. from my Virgin Mobile Tri-Band model S3

You should be able to modify Ting by touching the name, even when the button for selecting it is absent. You may need to add "default" to the type once you have it open. I have Ting and I have had to deal with this somewhat as well. I believe I saw some recent Ting APN updates get pushed through as well. Have you tried Exodus?
There is also another thread in here about lollipop and 5.1 which has information that may help.

Exodus? Nope... but I'll be checking it out now!
If you don't mind me asking more about the APN. How many are actually needed in there? If I were to delete all the APNs and just manually setup the 1 needed... is it just the LTE version pointing to http://mms.plspictures.com ... or ... http://mms.sprintpcs.com and making sure the "type" has "default" in it? It's the one thing that I can't understand. Out of every forum I've read... not 1 mentions just blowing all the APNs away and just simply adding a single APN for Ting. I don't think I really need all 8-16 APNs (depending on the ROM you flash).
And this question is open to anyone. Is there any reason you have to have all those APNs for other networks like Boost, FreedomPop, Boost Mobile, etc? What should the APN contents be for just Ting? Inquiring minds want to know.

I actually tried that myself but didn't have any luck with it sticking past reboot or even holding the data signal right. It's possible it might work. I don't know enough about APN's to say for sure. Did you try adding "default" to the beginning of the Ting APN type and then save it?
