CM ROMs and MMS Issues - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So anytime I install a CM based rom I can no longer send or recv MMS. I have ran bliss pop, res.remix. cm 12.1 plain and 13 plain. None of which will allow for MMS. Even installing a 3rd party sms app and manually inserting APN values does nothing. All apn's are correct in system settings.
But as soon as I go back to stock, or a modded/slim version of stock, everything works just fine.
Is there an issue w/ CM and MMS? And if so id there a fix?
thx!

Delete all of the default APNs available and then create a new APN with your APN settings, It should work fine because from my experience any other similar APN settings to the one that you create interferes with your custom made one.

Already did that. Manually added along side default APNs. Added APN alone. Restored default APNs. Nothing.

I have no clue then, this was the only method I did to get my APNs working.
You could try every custom rom until there is one that gets the APNs working

I am on Cricket Wireless and ran into the same issues, even after entering the correct apns and deleting the other ones. This occured on every rom except stock based roms. I have solved the MMS issue by toggling airplane mode on and off every time that I restart the phone, and that pretty much fixes the issue.

I too am on Cricket.
I am now running Super Zen which works great. Just wondering why this seems to be a CM issue that hasn't been addressed. I guess not enough people are having the issue. Which in the end could be a Cricket/AIO issue, who knows.
Thanks for the reply. cheers

I have the same issue on ATT. I haven't tried the suggested fix above, but will and see what happens.
Update: neither fix listed here works for me.

It is a CM issue, but the airplane toggle always seems to fix it

So, you just let your phone fully boot, turn airplane mode 'on' for a few seconds than turn it back off. And its all good until the phone is re-booted? Thx

Thanks for the update. Wonder why some people have issues and others don't. Seeing how there are so many CM based roms for this phone, I guess it's only effecting a small amount of us.

Who knows... I've tried every CM based ROM for the Z00A and all of them give me this issue. Good thing I don't use it much.

I'm running BlissPop on my Z00A in Australia with two SIM cards as a daily driver. Vodafone (SIM1) for personal and Telstra (SIM2) for work.
Firstly I'm pretty pissed I can't do MMS on SIM2. I thought I could at least do it slowly over 2G. Now I find I can't at all. My priority however, is to get MMS working on SIM1 since most people can email me at work instead.
Toggling airplane mode doesn't work for me either. In addition SIM2 doesn't reconnect until I manually search "Network operators" or reboot.
Unless the MMS on CM issue gets fixed soon I'll be heading to a stock/slim ROM.

Wonder why this has gone on for as long as it has. 12.1 has been out for a long enough time that it should have effected the masses. Unless enough people don't care about MMS.

Has anyone tried a cm13 rom and does the problem still exist?

Yes. I gave up and did a clean flash, and now the aeroplane mode "fix" works for me. Not sure what i did, but my setup now is exactly the same. Restored everything from TiBu.

Hmmmmmmmmmm, strange

Im going to to try a couple 13 roms and see if any will work. Ill report back

I have the same problem, every now and then it will stop having service and the only way to get it back is by rebooting, sometimes it works at first sometimes it needs a couple of reboots.
Any hint with this would be great
(this happened to me with aokp and cyanogenmod)

im having almost identical problems... like a month or 2 ago i reflashed to the new 4.3 slim rom. I have been fighting this thing every since. Ive tried so many different radios but yet i still have this issue, sometimes i can go days without problems but now it seems to loose data even sooner. ONLY way i get data (4G) back is if i reboot. Ive tried disabling then re-enabling data, same for airplane mode, nothing works. I think part of the problem is this damn rom.... i used to be on black bean 8 and for the mobile networks it had an option for "CDMA/LTE". This rom must be a ported rom cause the only selection for mobile networks that work is "CDMA/EvDo/GSM/WCDMA". I am on Sprint CDMA and LTE. i dont understand why this was done like this. I Would like to go back to blackbean 8 but i had problems with it and i like some of the settings for this rom better. Anybody have any ideas? Ive tried ALL the radios, none seem to be stable.
oh and i would post in there for the rom's forum but seeing as i havent posted enough here im not able to ask questions about it or anything :-/

[Q] LTE and MMS issues (Sim/NV)

Alright, first off, i've been trying to fix my device for a few days, and scouring the internet; i've been completely unable to fix this issue
After installing an AOSP rom, I accidentally screwed with my Sim settings. My LTE and MMS are both broken on all roms that I have tried, and I can't for the life of me get them fixed. LTE sometimes works when I force LTE only, but then I can't make calls or send SMS.
(Just a quick rundown to highlight the main points)
☻LTE won't work unless I force LTE only. (AOSP)
☻MMS won't send, unless i'm on the stock ROM (I've used GOSMS, Hangouts, and Stock)
I feel like I have literally tried everything. Different recoverys, different root methods, different basebands, I've reflashed the APN, and even paid a visit to my friend Murry at Sprint; still no fix. My ESN is still good, along with my MEID. Any help would be greatly appreciated; this has been giving me hell for the past few days.

Cant help you with the LTE...
As for the MMS, try the attached file - bryansmmsfix (at your own risk). just flash in your recovery of choice (just not stock, of course). This worked for mine last night.

[SOLVED] Data stopped working

Running CM11 on PagePlus. I cannot access the Internet. I was able to at one time. Thought it was the Rom so I flash CM10.1 and Stock rooted rom. I reactivated the phone after the installs. Every time it says the network is connected but I cannot connect to the Internet or send MMS. Starting to think it is the phone. Any ideas?
More info:
IP address is applied. Able to ping ip address but not some other known ip address. Traceroute does one hop to 66.174.216.161, which seems to be a Verizon ISP. Might try playing with apns-config.xml. I had tried the one I had when it was working previously but did not seem to change anything.
I'm new, but had similar problems

I'm not sure the MMS issue has been resolved, as of yet. Last time I check the Development thread it seemed like there wasn't yet a fix. Someone will correct me shortly if I'm mistaken, I'm sure.
The data problem you're having is one that I struggled with for a couple weeks in CM11... I don't know how much help I can be, because I'm not really sure what ended up actually fixing it for my dINC. All I know is that I spent about three hours dirty flashing and restoring from nand backups, sometimes the full backup and sometimes just partitions. I also threw in a *228 somewhere in there. Anyways, Through persistence, and sheer dumb luck, I finally have a pretty stable data connection, as long as I don't use the mode switcher in DUbattery(that seems to mess 3g up until reboot).
sometimes it helps to toggle airplane mode on then off.
Thanks for the tip. I toggled airplane mode on and off. I could then load google in the browser but it would not do anything after that. I have a new inc and an OG Evo coming in. Might have to retire my inc for the kid to play games on. My wife is using and OG Evo with no data or mms problems on 10.1 and I am sort of digging the larger screen. Also might be able to help zach with troubleshooting cm11 for the evo (supersonic).

Glad to know it was not just my phone. I am back on your 2/17 build and was worried there was some leftover firewall stuff even though I wiped everything except emmc and sd-card before the flash.
On another note. I have that other EVO coming in so should be able to load up CM11 and do some logging for you.
So I switched mobile data off this weekend with the silent profile and when I switched it back on using the default profile my data worked.

I'm glad you found a fix! On my dINC, I don't use the profiles, and mobile data crashes randomly. After flashing the March 23rd build, it has gotten somewhat better, but it always seems to skip out when I need it most... specifically.... when I use Google voice search to either dictate text messages or navigate to an address(delivery driver). the latter is especially frustrating, because I only use the navi when I'm already out of the store and can't find something, so no alternative available. Sometimes, even when the 3g symbol is full in status bar, I'll push the voice button and it will say, "cannot reach google *** etc" :crying:

Issue with Madhi-ROM 4.4.2 and data

Hello,
I have flashed Madhi-ROM 4.4.2 yesterday night and it had LTE working properly. Today, I ran into an issue where it would no longer connect to data at all. I have reflashed the stock rom and updated profile and prl then reflashed Madhi-rom 4.4.2 and at the screen "Activate mobile data service", it just keeps running and occasionally make a call to activate mobile data which ends up failing. I don't know if this is a common issue, but I'd like my mobile data to work. Other than this issue, I think its a very nice rom. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

oh okay
Seems like some people have been having 4G connection issues not only with Mahdi but other Roms as well.
Here are some of the suggestions:
Toggle Airplane mode for 10 seconds then turn off
Dirty flash ROM again
Return to stock and update PRL then reflash custom ROM
Keep data connection at 3G and live with it
You can also try flashing and comparing the Gee version vs. the ls970 version
It's hit or miss with this phone. No rhyme or reason for no consistency for such a basic requirement
I'm sure more experienced members will offer more suggestions
Hope this helps
Yeah, LTE is extremely sketchy on AOSP ROMs, Gee or LS970. Since the connection is just so inconsistent, I've found that the best thing to do is, as listed above, toggle airplane mode on/off, reflashing, or just sticking with 3G. 4G works flawlessly on stock LG ROMs though.

Thank you guys for the help. I tried all the fixes above with no luck. I have reverted back to the stock rom since I rather have my mobile data working than run an AOSP rom.

I believe I've struck gold with the latest Dirty Unicorn ROM!
Everything works: 4G, GPS, yes and even google calendar.
At first, I could only get 3G then one of options was just to simply display 4G instead of LTE in status bar then viola, 4G!
Probably just coincidence but I am one happy dude!
Might want to give DU a try

Have you tried SuperNexus? Honestly heard nothing but good things about this rom as long as the installation instructions are followed exactly. LTE, GPS, Bluetooth, and battery life are all working from what i've heard, you might wanna give it a try.

Data Issue in Custom ROMs

Hi all,
I tried almost all pie and 10 ROMs for 5Z and they all work great.
However, in all my flashing endeavors, I had data issues in some ROMs; like the data won't work at all, even after setting up the correct APN (RIL works perfectly fine).
Interestingly this bug (don't know what to call it) is random, if i flash the same ROM again and if I am lucky the data works just fine; it's a total hit and miss and it is just plain annoying. Although, there is absolutely no data problem on stock (any vendor) but this happens if I try and flash any ROM.
Any advise? what can i do to sort this out?
I had similar problem, but the problem was Roaming. Out of the country i was not able to use 3G/4G. I tried all customs roms, but it was still the same issue. So i went back to stock and it works without any problems.
Same here. All roms worked pretty well (e.gL ineage, Havoc) except for Android Auto and roaming. Data worked, except when roaming. Was never able to get a connection. Back to stock all worked. Could not find a solution.

Precisely the problem.
Is there anyway you got it to work or figured out to make it work?
I honestly hate the stock ROM and would love to use an Android 10 ROM.
