[Q] Unable to send or receive MMS - Cyanogen 6.1.1

This was happening with previous stable releases of Cyanogen for the Slide as well, I just never really had any need to use MMS before so never bothered to look for assistance.
I swapped my sim card into a Nokia Nuron to ensure it is not a network issue (everything was fine on the Nuron). Whenever I try to send a MMS it just sticks at "Sending..." when I receive one and press the download button it gets stuck at "Downloading...". I've tried sending messages to my own number as well as others. Same for receiving, multiple people have tried sending messages from different carriers all with that same result.
I've tried changing the default APN (epc. tmobile .com) to wap. voicestream. com as well as providing the MMS proxy settings that some devices seem to need (216.155.165.50:8080) and still have the same results.
Any assistance in this matter would be very much appreciated as I've got several MMS messages waiting on the network that I would very much like to be able to retrieve.
Thanks in advance!
Here are my current APN settings:
Name: T-Mobile US
APN: epc.tmobile.com
Proxy: <Not Set>
Port: <Not Set>
Username: none
Password: <Not Set>
Server: *
MMSC: ht tp: / /mms.msg.eng.t-mobile. com/mms/wapenc
MMS proxy: 216.155.165.50
MMS port: 8080
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
Authentication type: <Not Set>
APN type: default,supl

Here's an update.. I'm now able to retrieve the MMS messages that were sent to me after adding an additional APN to the device.
I added an APN with the name "T-Mobile MMS"
APN: epc.tmobile.com
MMSC: mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
However I still cannot send any MMS messages, does anyone have any ideas or suggestions now?

Scratch that, it allowed the pending messages to be downloaded from the network but new messages still will not download.... Issue remains and I have no idea why a few of them finally came through.

Try changing the wap.voicestream APN to default/not set.

Could you please be a bit more specific as to what you are suggesting? I do not have a wap.voicestream.com APN set on this device. Are you suggesting I leave the APN blank for the "T-Mobile US" APN? Note that I've since removed the "T-Mobile MMS" APN as it was no longer working (and not even selected for that matter).

You said you changed the default T-Mobile APN to wap.voicestream.com. I was saying leave all the MMS settings in that APN to not set. Here are my current and working APN settings:
Name: data (this can be whatever)
APN: wap.voicestream.com
Proxy: Not set
Port: Not set
Username: Not set
Password: Not set
Server: Not set
MMSC: Not set
MMS Proxy: Not set
MMS Port: Not set
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
Authentication Type: Not set
APN Type: Not set

Just tried your settings and unfortunately the issue still persists. I tried both wap.voicestream.com as well as epc.tmobile.com for the APN with everything else not set (minus the MCC & MNC), same results.
I appreciate you taking the time to respond, would you happen to have any other suggestions? For now I have reverted my APN settings back to default for CyanogenMod 6.1.1.

The other thought would be that something got hosed during the ROM flash or it has something to do with your T-Mobile account. Try flashing the ROM again without doing a wipe and see if it fixes it (doubt it though) if not then call T-Mobile and see if they can look into it on their end.

I too doubt that re-flashing will work but I'll give it a shot anyway. As for as contacting T-Mobile, they will just have me swap my SIM and test in another device which works fine, then they'll have my master reset the Slide and test again (I used to work as a tech care rep there so I know the procedures pretty well). I'll post back my results from re-flashing.

Went ahead and reflashed the 6.1.1 ROM that I've been using and I still have the problem. I am tempted to try out the RC of version 7 but it has problems with WiFi which I use all the time.
Does anyone else have any ideas as to what could be wrong?

I'm running RC2 and don't experience the wifi issues some people are reporting. I do have issues with tower data from time to time, but it only seems to be with the tower feeding the area where I work.

Im having the same problem. Yesterday i was able to txt without problem. Today after going to sleep i tried to txt and it didnt work. I figured it was the 6.1.1 so im going back to wipe and restore to old version. I will post my results.

So i tried to go back to a previous version thinking it was 6.1.1 but it wasent. i think its the phone itself or its tmoblies fault. Im going to the store to ask them.

Another update: Picked up my phone about an hour ago and about 10 MMS messages came rushing through to me. Even messages that have been pending to be sent to myself were successfully sent as well as received.
All of this without me changing a thing on my device (CyanogenMod 6.1.1 default APN settings).
As of right now my issue appears to be resolved... I find it hard to believe that the towers in my area would be the problem though since whenever I would swap my SIM card it would work 100% of the time on other devices.
Not going to complain that it's working, I just wish I knew WHY it's working now all of a sudden.

Have you tried sending another MMS to yourself to make sure its "fixed" and you didn't just randomly get that batch of messages.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using Tapatalk

It did in fact stop working again.
I had tested it several times since those messages had come through and it had continued to work, but once again I am stuck at sending...
I'm getting pretty frustrated at this issue now. It appears to me that the device must be configured correctly if it was working an hour ago. I dread the throught of contacting T-Mobile because I know they'll have to escalate this type of issue to ATSG (Advanced Technical Support Group) which can take quite a long time.
I have to do some traveling tomorrow so I'll do some testing in other areas to see if this issue is limited to the tower near my house.
EDIT:
When it was working earlier I had WiFi enabled. When I attempted to send a MMS the E/3G/H data indicator would pop up while the message was being sent or received, however I am no longer seeing this (it's only showing a WiFi connection, E/3G/H no longer pops up like it was earlier). This leads me to believe that the device isn't even attempting to make the correct data connection in order to send the MMS anymore.
EDIT AGAIN:
I just toggled my WiFi off and on again and tried to re-send the message, it worked this time. Still no clue as to why it's working sometimes but not all the time.

I tried sending a text to me and it failed. I rolled back to previous settings and still nothing. It might work 2moro. But if not im going to tmobile about this.

good very good, i don't care

I wish I could help you with your text messaging problem but I would suggest you create a new forum thread as this one is focused on MMS which is completely different than SMS.
As for my MMS issue, I am still able to MMS myself without any issues.
Thank you DonJuan for your assistance!

You are not the only one. I am using ArayrayMod and I am getting problems sending and receiving MMS. Texts work fine. Its really hit or miss right now.
I contacted Tmo and they said it was a known issue and its all over the network - No ETA at this time. I even had a manager verify that issue with me as I don't trust them fully at the Tier 1 techs.

Cannot send MMS from my Desire HD :(

Hey all,
Trying to send MMS with my Desire HD and it just wont send any!!
I am using a ICS ASOPX rom, i tried cm7.2 (stable) and i was able to send one to myself, thought brilliant!
Tried to send another, just would fail/time out. Same as the ICS rom.
any idea's?
Or is my phone just crap.
Also it doesn't seem like a carrier problem, i put my sim card into a iPhone and it sent/received mms no worries

I believe (don't quote me on this lol) that its a known issue on ICS/JB
Try using CM7 again and see what happens. Also what carrier are you using, which country and have you checked the MMS/APN settings?
The Corner approves..
That thanks button ain't gonna push itself!
You just clicked this cause its hidden didn't you?

I am in Australia using Vodafone AU at the moment, but soon to be on amaysim (optus).
Checked my APN settings hundreds of times, entered them manually, got them off the sim, carrier website still no dice.
Hopefully it isn't a ICS/JB issue because this ICS rom kicks ass!
CM7 just feels so old
I did try it for a few hours (CM7) and it was doing the same thing.
Hoping it isn't a JB/ICS bug

Turn ON mobile data and it shuld work.
Otherwise restart your device and try it again.

Tried with data on/off, WiFi on/off,
Still no joy.
Flashed a different radio, still no difference

May be onto something.
Flashed back to stock, MMS now magically works no problems

Back to stock as in an RUU? Or flashing a rooted stock ROM?
The Corner approves..

I grabbed a rooted stock ROM and MMS has been flawless so far.
Downside is....HTC sense, and android 2.3

I have the same problem, perfect mms on rooted stock rom, but on Jelly Bean it refuses to send the damn message....

Same here, However work fine in CM7

Same issues here. Using CM7 no problems. Using a JB rom (tried jellytime & codefirex), I can get Vodafone Au to work if all the settings (internet & mms) are in a single APN. When I switch to Optus (Au), I can send mms if I use mms only settings but have no internet. I am unable to combine all the settings into a single APN as with Vodafone. If I use the recommended APNs for internet and mms (separate APNs) I can no longer send mms. Then if I switch on wifi, I can. Has to be some sort of jb bug.
This is getting very frustrating.:what:
Sent from my Infected V3.0 using xda premium

I couldn't send mms on Telstra AU (Jelly Time ROM) for a couple days and I spent HOURS changing settings until I FINALLY managed to get it to work.
Don't bother ringing the telco and getting help for anyone thinking of doing that - they have NO idea what is going on.
Anyway, I found what worked for me was doubling up the settings.
Telstra comes with 4 APN settings, normally the Telstra.wap is selected as default. Some phones only have the one setting (Telstra . wap) and everything works - everyone is different for some reason...
ANYWAY... the problem thereafter is that the other 3 settings are all fighting for the MMS profile, and it basically - screws everything up.
So... if you have other APN settings there, modify them - go to APN type and delete the ,mms part ONLY. I found deleting the APNs to stop my internet from working etc. and only leave the proper .mms APN with the mms setting
If that doesn't solve your problem (and it didn't for me the 2nd time I installed a Jelly Time ROM) - add the ,mms to the default Telstra . wap and leave the Telstra . mms, add the mms settings to the .wap APN (MMSC, MMS Proxy and MMS Port etc.)
If that doesn't work, modify the Telstra.mms to have the Proxy and Port set to the same values as in the MMS Proxy and MMS Port, also change it to PAP or CHAP
After a reboot this should work...
So my two settings look like the below:

Get rid of the spaces in the MMSC between the dot and the com and change the 0 to an o... says I can't post links to "outside websites"
Will this work on other services? I don't know... but may help people play around with the settings and see if it does fix their issues.
Hope it helps...

It's like u just checked MMS APN, nothing else. Except u now can't get data connection, so I think this is not very helpful.
I have the same problem with CM11 KitKat. When I'm sending MMS, I have to switch APN to MMS settings, and for internet I have to change back to Internet APN. On CM10.1 all worked fine... But, for me it's not a big deal, cause I rarely send MMS, so...

Thanks a hell of a lot! I have spent hours looking through google to try and get this working. It now works. Now if I can just get DATA working. Aaack. I just noticed DATA started working. Thank you soooooooooooooooooooooooo much. YOU Rock. No LTE in Sacramento but now I get DATA. WooHoo! Two weeks ago my Note N7000 was stolen and dealing with Straight Talk to get a replacement sim was a nightmare. I bought a new one, they shipped me an envelope overnight that had everything a new sim package has, except, wait for it: the sim. Then trying to get a replacement was a nightmare and then when it finally arrived the Activation people said it wasn't a straight talk sim and wanted me to prove I got it from them.

Not sure if this will help but be sure your mobile data is on. I on on at&t and mostly have to have the data on to send MMS. Some of the customs Roms like wicked sensation has a zip file to allow sending MMS via WiFi..

Yea I leave mobile date connected even when on WiFi... Looks like flashing a ROM might do the trick since the issue seems to be related to the stock OTA update.

yeah I love it when the updates have added features at no extra cost that you cannot get rid of. also, check into the PAC man rom. it is 4.3 based and is very stable. its a hybrid of Paranoid, AOKP, and CM. tons of options and excellent battery life, I get avg 18hrs no problems. I have issues with most of the 4.4 roms, seems like somewhere something sucks the battery dead. but still a WIP.

Is there anyway to maybe just get this feature.. like from an Xposed mod or something? And my problem is receiving not sending. I can send them just fine.

hey rob, im dealing with the exact same issue as you on my sisters S3, on straight talk also, i can send, but when i send her a MMS, it asks her to download it and then says download failed, im on wicked sensations, so hopefully i can get this straightened out

Having the same issue on A S3 here also. Any news on this?

I saw on another forum that once the plan expired and you renewed it the problem fixed its self.. and it DID!!! My plan refilled on the 12th. It took a few days but about noon today my phone said insert SIM. Puzzled I just powered off, took the batter and SIM out and reversed and powered back on. Thinking of what that person said I sent myself a MMS .. and it worked! Had my girlfriend send my a picture too and it work. I also sent her one. So yea.. MMS seems to fix its self when you refill you plan after it expires. Hope this helps and works for others!

Ok, thanks. She renews at the end of the month so we'll see what happens.

Had exact same issue on my wife's s3 after updating to 4.3.... allot of bugs and junk came with that update... Fixed it by first while on screen where you can enter newapn I clicked menu and reset to default. Than I took sim out and put into another phone and sent picture message to it on another phone. Than inserted back into her s3 and it started working. Maybe you don't even need another phone. .. Just try to reset apn to default and turn off than turn on without sim than turn off and put sim card in and enter the apn settings than save and try again. Hope this helps.

Try to change the MMS proxy: from, mms3.tracfone.com to, mms2.tracfone.com
I'm on net 10 (same stuff different flavor) that fixed my issues with MMS messages.

This. I'm on a 90 day plan. Doesn't expire until April 27. So, is there some way to get Straight Talk to, in effect, do whatever it is that's done when an account is refilled, while still maintaining the time I have left? It seems to me that if so many different people are reporting this as the only solution (and multiple searches reflect this to be the only thing that works), if there were some way to get Straight Talk to do it manually, that'd be a great fix.

Delete the proxy leave the MMS proxy

Hello! I just put an AT&T phone on Straight Talk. It worked great for one day, then 4.3 muffed it all up. I have the same APN as you listed, and nothing is fixing my problem of not getting SMS Pictures / multimedia.
I was just wanting to follow up and see if you ever found a solution to your problem?

My girlfriend is on straight talk and has no issues. Here is the APN she uses:

everything else is blank. If this doesn't work try changing the proxy to 66.209.11.3

Manually putting in the information works but straight talk has a data apn app on the play store and it will walk you through the steps, for me when I got to the bearer I just clicked LE and I am on LTE right now with straight talk.

download the apn settings app and follow the steps. it most likely your APN type down at the bottom of the profile. i was having problems with it before i did this. now i can send and receive MMS.

I changed my APN settings to that, but I still have the same problem with mms.

My mms works great with mms on gophone. See if switching to a New SIM will help.

I'm also having the same problem with my G3 on Straight Talk, and am trying to find a solution for it until I stumbled on this thread. I have no idea what you meant by "space instead of a period in the mmsc proxy".
My MMSC setting is set as: h**p://mms-tf.net [I can't post links on my posts yet, replace ** with tt]
MMS proxy: mm3.tracfone.com
MMS port: 80
MMC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication type: None
APN type: default,hipri
I've also googled around and see what other people have as their APN settings on straight talk and the only thing that they had different was:
Auth Type: PAP
APN type: default,supl,mms,hipri
I changed my APN settings to that, but I still have the same problem with mms.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks

I tried that, the settings on the APN Settings app didn't help. It seems like the settings are from older phones. Once I applied the settings (please see attached) I lost data connection and the mms still didn't work.
This is the instructions Straight Talk e-mailed me:
APN PROGRAMMING FOR MOST PHONE MODELS:
Once you have reached your phone's APN (Access Point Name) settings, create a new APN with the following values.
APN Name: Straight Talk
APN: tfdata
Port: 80
MMSC: h**p://mms-tf.net (replace ** with tt)
MMS Proxy: mms3.tracfone.com
MMS Port: 80
Delete the current APN from your phone.
Reboot your phone.
That is the current settings I'm on now. 4G works fine, just not MMS.

Could be a SIM card issue, but I had just gotten this SIM card last week. When I googled around it seems like some people were able to solve it via APN settings. Just not sure how they did that before I go out and get a new SIM card.

Thank you so much! That fixed it! The only thing that was different was Port should not have been set, but instead set the port for MMS Port. Also the APN type was changed to: default,mms,supl.
I wonder why Straight Talk would give mis-leading information? I guess they didn't throughly test out their settings before telling users to set it.
Thanks again!

What is the difference between Port and MMS port?
So the right way to set up APN settings is leave the port alone, and set the mms port to 80?

Really? Not sure if I had downloaded the right app. Does the app look like the screen shot I had a few posts ago? I couldn't find the settings you had in that app.

Hey guys,
I'm on AT&T G3 on AT&T and have no problems, but from years of tinkering with various devices, one thing that often worked for me was instead of relying on the APN settings in settings was to use Go SMS Pro and go into the advanced settings and change the APN settings in there.
Without rhyme or reason, I've had phones absolutely refuse to work with MMS using the correct stock APN settings but work just fine with Go SMS Pro and Go SMS Pro's settings (I think that's why they included the feature in the first place.)
The funny thing is that the stock messaging app on G3 is the first one I've liked enough to use instead of Go SMS Pro...
If that works, the issue is probably with LG and not the carriers so try it out and if it works, bug the hell out of LG.
