CyanogenMod version 11-20140608-SNAPSHOT-M7-e980
Everything is great with this phone on this build - except I cannot receive mms messages. Battery life is awesome, Slimport works, it's fast and smooth. I discovered that if I use headphones with a mic - a headset rather than just earphones - audio works fine in phone calls. The only thing that I can find that doesn't work is mms. I've tried the default app, GO SMS Pro, Hangouts. I've had a local AT&T Rep look at it with me, who made a minor change in my APN. Before and after the change, no mms.
Has anyone else experienced this? Found a fix? Have any suggestions?
Thanks.

My mms tips thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2192633. Just used this today to send pics to a friend (confirmed on 20130316 nightly of CM10.1 epic 4g on Sprint). Modem FC09 or FC19 works (I use the latter these days - seems faster). No other mods.
CM10.1 native Sprint MMS workarounds and fixes - (I've been able to send and receive pics with this couldn't do with 10.0 or prior CM's)
a) turn off wi-fi while it sending. Would be nice if it could work with wifi as stock GB did but for now it is what it is. Wifi is a MMS killer in this case.
b) if photo stuck in sending, long-press on photo and choose edit and don't do anything but hit send button. Sometimes this alone will get it to send as long as wifi is off and you have 3g connectivity
c) if still stuck forward photo to the same user or yourself (preferable) and then forward again to yourself. On the 2nd forwarded pic, repeat step B above. This by far has done it for me.
Once the pics start to send it will send all and receive all too including those stuck in sending. Sometimes you seem to have to send a pic (even to yourself) in order to receive pics. Sometimes I'll receive pics from days or weeks back. Try reboot as well with wifi off. NOTE : Must have 3g connectivity. can leave auto-download MMS settings enabled it will work still.
This has worked really well on Sprint 10.1 Epic CM build 20130120 and higher including M2 for me (in fact the best build for MMS I've had since cm7, albeit still buggy, as native app on original sprint rom didn't require all this messing around.
This is the last remaining glitch on an otherwise perfect epic 4g for me (i don't use BT). Anyone know - Is this a problem with CM in general or just this phone? For example If I upgrade to Sprint S3 am I likely to face same issue if install CM10.1?
i finally gave up and needed a more reliable solution. Handcent SMS from the play store (free) seems to be it. Glitch-free MMS. Set it as your default messaging device which it does automatically post install, delete your old icon and use it. Make sure to check the "Split 160" option to enabled in application settings to avoid garbled text if sending a long message (this was a problem I had before with GoSMS, which probably has this setting too, just wasn't aware of it then).
I should have done this years ago. Maybe someone can reverse engineer what Handcent is doing that allows for flawless MMS over wifi and 3g/4g. Or will the newly released JB for epic4gTouch reveal any clues.
So I'm running CM11 on Madmacks latest build and everything is working perfectly except MMS and Textra. I use Hangouts and it works Ok, but I hate the notification and sometimes I miss texts because it won't work with LightFlow... at least not for me.
Textra allows me to setup repeating vibrations and it works just fine for texts, but will not work for MMS. I've tried to configure the APN for MMS using every setting I could find on google to no avail. Just keeps saying it won't work.
it won't even work with the stock messaging app that's why I suspect APN is the problem, not the app. I'm using the default phone APN and LTE.
Any ideas for getting Textra to work or even the stock messaging app?
Hi all, Just recently picked up the G3 after Trading in my HTC One M8. I'm having issues sending and receiving MMS while my wifi is on when using Evolve SMS. I know that Textra has a work around built in where it turns off Wifi To send the MMS over Data but I don't really care for the look of Textra. I'm not sure if maybe my settings are off with Evolve as when I had my M8 it would send and receive with no problem. Anyone else having issues with this or know of any other 3rd party MMS apps that have the work aroudn built in like Textra?
Thanks,
Believe it or not every phone is different. Download and test. What works for me hasn't worked for others

It depends on the app. I have issues with hello sms, but had them with the Nexus 5 too. Chomp SMS works more reliably, but I never know if I'm missing messages. I've resorted to using hangouts with the SO for images, and use texting for sms only.
Convincing other users to jump on yet another messaging app is always a hassle.

I went back to the stock messaging app because it was the only one that seemed to send and receive everything reliably while on wifi calling mode.
I mean, for one example, Google Hangouts doesn't even offer to resize pictures - and when you have a hard message size limit, that's a deal breaker. (The stock app indicates 1 MB is it.)
Is anyone else having MMS issues? I can never get MMS messages to send. Its rather annoying. I've heard of people adding a custom APN but my button to add an APN is greyed out.
The only thing I can do is toggle airplane mode a few times to get the messages to go through but it doesn't always work
Went to the sprint store today and they were baffled.
I have. New update 5/11 should take care of that. If you clear your cache it will take care of it.
Worked great man. Cleared cache on hangouts and MMS service seemed to do the trick

that's what i did after update picture would not go through and text takes a long time to send
cleared app cache and data
all is right in the world with sms
I have had a similar issue and it was fixed by turning wifi off and the message would send
My APN settings can't be edited. It doesn't let me edit, only create NEW APN's. I have my MSL and still cant change my APN settings. I could use the hotspot on the S6 SM-G925P. I'm currently non-rooted due to the recent 5.1.1 Firmware version update. Thanks.
There has always been an issue with sprint phones + Google Hangouts + MMS. For some reason hangouts will only send and receive MMS over data. If you want to test it connect to wifi, try to send an MMS over hangouts (notice that your data icon in the top bar will show). If you have poor data reception your MMS might not even send and the phone radio can get very hot. Now disable hangouts and use the stock messaging app to send an MMS. Notice that the MMS sends fine over wifi and does not activate your data.
I really love hangouts, but the inability to send and receive MMS over wifi is a deal breaker for me. Turning on data every time I get an MMS is a battery killer for me. I doubt Google/sprint will ever address this issue as it has been going on since hangouts released when I had an S2.

My experience has been the same since S2 also. Read all the MMS threads. Tried all kinds of changes to APNs. Most of the time I was running CM and blamed it for the issues. Finally tried Textra to find no problems with MMS. My conclusion was Hangouts. You can follow this Google thread if you have a couple hours to spend. All breeds of Hangouts users with same problem, with very little response from Google. My hope was for Hangouts to be for Android what imessage is to IOS. No such luck, but still hopeful. Until then, I use Textra with no problems.
I've been attempting to use XHangouts and the APN splicing feature to get Hangouts 4 to send / receive MMS through my carrier number, and no dice. Has anyone gotten this working on the Sprint S6? I'd, in theory, love to be able to use Hangouts for both the new Voice group chatting AND normal MMS functions but it seems like I can either downgrade to Hangouts 3 or deal with using another SMS client for carrier MMS.
Hi folks,
I've got a new problem that started after I updated my D851 from (stock/rooted) Lollipop to (stock/rooted) Marshmallow.
When I'm home, I've got a decent LTE signal (ATT, though using the T-Mobile phone variant). But since I'm home, my phone connects to my wifi and uses it for data. I have no problem making/receiving calls or SMS texts to a single person at a time.
However, as long as I'm connected to WIFI (with my cellular signal present but not used for data due to the WIFI), neither MMS nor group texts work. In the stock Messages app, or the Messaging app I actually usually use, these MMS or group texts sit there as "sending..."
If I turn off the wifi, the cellular data signal is used immediately and the texts go through. Same goes for receiving MMS.
Again, this only happens since the marshmallow update that I applied a couple weeks ago.
I have not found a fix. I found lots of people complaining, and a few proposed solutions, like changing the APN so that the APN Protocol would be set to IPv4/IPv6 instead of the default IPv4. See here for that reference, though it didn't work for me:
https://support.t-mobile.com/thread/61843?tstart=0
Anybody have a fix for this? it's a real problem particularly for incoming messages. I can always toggle wifi off if I want to send something, but not knowing when something is coming in gets to be a problem. SMS from single conversations come through.
Please help me troubleshoot this. I've googled my fingers to the bone and while I've found reports of issues like this going back years, no actual solutions that work for me.
HELP!
There's one workaround so far... using Textra as the messaging app. It has an option called the T-Mobile Wifi Calling fix (in Settings/MMS/scroll down to bottom). Even though my wifi calling is set to off, since I'm on ATT, enabling this setting in Textra automatically toggles off WiFi to send MMS/group sms, and it does the same when it detects an attempted incoming MMS.
I much prefer the Google Messages app, for a variety of reasons, and I'm looking to figure out a real fix rather than this workaround. Any help most appreciated.
