LG G3 Text message huge problem, help please! - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My girlfriend just got a new LG G3 and she and I (mostly I) are pulling out our hair trying to get it to function properly with text messages.
She purchased an international unlocked LG G3 in Hong Kong, and is trying to use it on AT&T.
Everything was working fine until she took the latest software update 4.4.2 from LG less than a week ago, which completely borked her phone. Prior to the update everything was working awesome.
The problem that were having now is that she is just not able to send or receive messages consistently. After her phone has been turned on for a while all of her radio functions seem to just stop working. Upon a fresh reboot, new text messages will be pushed in, but not all of them. Then give it an hour or two and she wont receive anything until her next reboot.
I have messed with all of whatever google wants to tell me about AT&T APN's.
The only one that seems to work is :
Name: AT&T
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: leave blank
Port: leave blank
Username:[email protected]
Password:CINGULAR1
Server: leave blank
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS Port: 80
MCC:310
MNC:410
APN Type: leave blank
She only pays for a 3g plan so I would deduce that the 4G LTE APNs wont work, and they dont as I have tried to use them.
LG North America has been absolutely useless in this case as we have tried to contact them with their response being : "We cant do anything for you because you purchased the phone out of the United States". GG LG. To which, whoever took our phone call could not even supply us with a hong kong number. Its absolutely infuriating.
The last option I can forsee is rooting her device and putting it back to whatever version came stock, which I do not want to do if possible. We have already tried factory resets to no avail.
Is her phone faulty or defective? I really cant see why it would be since it was working beautifully prior to the update.
Any and all suggestions I will be extremely thankful for regarding this headache. Thank you in advance.

I think your only options might be to root and install a custom Rom and hope the problem goes away, or somehow return it to Hong Kong.. But I'm not sure if that's a realistic option.

I use this and my phone has been great.
Maybe you should send an email to at&t, they will be able to give you the correct apn and settings etc just to be certain.

[Q] Help with mms

just got desire z couple weeks ago and have been playing with it for a while.
just noticed that i cannot send mms since 2 days ago and have been looking around for solutions but nothing seems to work
am running stock htc sense 2.2
i can receive mms but i cannot send
error says: Unable to send message after multiple attempts (Generic network error)
i use at&t and my settings for apn are as follow:
apn: wap.cingular
proxy: blank
port: blank
username: WAP at CINGULARGPRS dot COM (cant post link sorry)
password: CINGULAR1
server: blank
mmsc: mmsc dot cingular dot com (cant post link sorry)
mms proxy: wireless dot cingular dot com (cant post link sorry)
mms port: 80
mms protocol: 2.0
mcc: 310
mnc: 410
authentication type: blank
apn type: blank
i've read posts saying that if i have my delivery reports and read reports ticked i may not be able to send but i unchecked all those and still cannot send, i've contacted htc and at&t and they both say my settings are correct and should be able to mms. (which i think it's weird because i can receive mms but i cant?)
please help !
For the MMSC setting I have:
http://mmsc.cingular.com
Don't know if the missing "http://" makes a difference or not. Otherwise, your APN settings look good.
I assume you have a data plan.
I think ATT has a MMS file size limit of 600kb, so make sure your photo is under that limit. I forget whether you can set this under the stock SMS agent or not.
Also, look under the following setting (I'm not on the stock ROM anymore, so it might be in a different place): Menu>Settings> Call settings>Additional Settings>My phone number
Is there a number there? If so, is it just numbers, or are their any symbols?
Yes i do have a data plan, and my phone automatically compresses it when i try to mms, it usually gets down to 521 kb/600 kb, and i've tried looking up where that settings is but have no luck, tried under contacts and phone and settings couldn't find it
actually if i think this is what you meant i found "Phone number" under setting > about phone > phone identity and it's my phone number without any signs in it.

That's probably it. The menus are slightly different on the Sense ROM from the non-Sense. The phone number bug only happened when I flashed the CM7 ROM, anyway. The presence of ( and - symbols in the number actually were preventing me from sending MMS.
But I never had that problem under the stock ROM. I had the same case as you, I bought the Desire Z for use on AT&T. I just entered the APN settings, and I was good to go. Not sure what the problem in your case is.
Have you tried to reboot? A real boot, not the Sense fast boot (which doesn't clear lots of things). I think if you hold the power button down, and pick the reboot option, that is a real reboot. But to be sure, you can power down, then pull the battery, then power up again. Or turn off fast boot, then power down.
yes i've rebooted many times, i've even done factory reset and no help. =/ anyone else knows how to fix this? ><

[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.

poor connection and no sms?

hey I'm using Kangs rom, love it, so fast great battery life, i also flashed francos kernel but I'm having an issue with connection.
my connection is really spotty. my apn settings look fine and occasionally i get good speeds that will sometimes just drop to nothing. I'm on the xxkk6 baseband in nyc, appreciate any help, thanks.

Similar issue here with my GSM Galaxy Nexus on AT&T.....
Seems the problem started earlier today
I can make and receive calls with no issue, I can receive texts but I cannot send texts.
Tried sim in my old iPhone 4S, texts send no problem, even with imessage turned off so it forces to send as SMS.
Tried factory 4.0.1 that shipped with my phone and also tried 4.0.2 and 4.0.4
like i said, I can receive texts no problem.
I was able to send texts prior with no issue.
multiple factory resets and resetting APN's to default.
AT&T rep couldn't help so they have a case open to resolve...
This is driving me nuts!
UPDATE: I can send MMS with no problems at all.
UPDATE 2: I tried the steps listed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...6#post24329026 to make sure the SMSC was listed correctly, but i am still unable to send SMS...
UPDATE 3: IT'S WORKING FINALLY!!! I found a list of SMSC numbers here: http://smsclist.com/downloads/default.txt and used the online PDU encoder decoder here: http://www.twit88.com/home/utility/s...-encode-decode to get the number needed to enter into my phone. SMS are sending now

that wasn't me getting it working, that was me asking how the heck some other guy got it working. I'm not sure what happened but i took out my sim, installed a different hang rom which had horrible connection but my texting worked, i decided the poor connection was unbearable and restored to the one with the texting not working, and for some reason it was working this time, not sure if it was me removing my sim or what but this time it automatically had the correct smsc stored.
Now... a new issue. i came from an iPhone4s and forgot to turn off iMessage, this causes iPhone uses to have their texts sent to me incorrectly through only iMessage and not my phone number. i put my sim back into the iPhone and and turned off iMessage which cured the texting but mms is still having issues. this is one of the reasons i always end up going back to the iPhone. the customizability of android is fun and allows for a lot of play but you always run into problems you spend hours trying to mend. also having issues with gmail, i have to manually refresh it to get my emails

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.

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?
Thanks!!

My girlfriend is on straight talk and has no issues. Here is the APN she uses:
APN:tfdata
MMSC:http://mms-tf.net
PROXY:mms3.tracfone.com
PORT:80
MCC:310
MNC:410
APN TYPE:default,supl,mms,admin,fota,hipri (no spaces after commas)
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.

Has anyone updated to 4.4.2. I was thinking of doing it but I didn't want to end up with the same problem.

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.

I just installed Cyanogenmod by HELLFIRE on my Straight Talk SCH-S968C Galaxy S3, but the rom is for the Verizon version of S3 the I535. I can make calls and send text but cannot use data. What can I do?:crying: Someone told me to go into Build.Prop and edit it but I dont know what lines to change or anything. Could use some help, love this rom and want to use it. Any ideas, thanx:fingers-crossed:
