Is anyone having problems receiveings text msgs?
I'm not receiving my confirmation text from qik to enable video chat.
I am. I have been trying for days requesting it over and over and nothing happens
I am getting text from other people, but still no confirmation text from Qik. Are we the only two with this problem?
sms delay
anyone experiencing this?
no, everything's alright here in ....
Hi, just to report that here in Los Angeles everything's alright and working. Even here where I live I get 2 bars of 4G and just that is really, really FAST!!
anyone experiencing sms error code 107 class 2??
any suggestions? anyone??
I was having problems also. I ported my number from ATT and SMS reception/sending was spotty at best for the first 2.5 days or so (the sprint rep I called about this quoted 72 hours as the magic number)
Did you port your number from a different carrier?
yes I ported from AT&T also...but I am getting text from other people...just not Qik. I even tried verifying from my PC...still nothing.
I have not been able to get the SMS from Qik either...I just don't think they are sending it.
i'm having issues as well, can't receive or send mms to/from myself, droid incredible or iphone.
anyone have any answers???
Not a single problem here in Idaho

can you check the settings in your default messaging app... go to connections for mms and see if the two fields in the middle have [not set] listed or if they actually have entries. Mine say they aren't set.

Did you port as well? If you did go into system updates and update your PRL. I had my number ported and had this issue up until I did a PRL update.
so i moved up to RC2 of cm6, i used to have this issue with my first mytouch orginal on CM but whenever i send MMS the person just gets a black X.... ive read that it may be an APN settings issue.......??
anyone know how to fix this, and or what the correct US tmobile settings are....id love to send pictures to family, espically since im stuck in another state in a blizzard ) love to show the fam
HELP!!!
edit*** found default apn setting config and my phone seems to be set correct....... any ideas?
Aside from the APN settings I can't think of anything. Maybe call TMO and make sure nothing is screwed up on your account. I've heard that (mostly for data) sometimes your account or some aspect of it has to be reset. I've never personally had that done in 5 years but sh!t happens. The MMS on this phone is crap anyway, my 8100 could send bigger pictures lol. So losing MMS isn't much of a loss IMO.
yea it is sh!tt& but hey what can you do, what i dont understand is i can recive pictures just fine and all but i cant seem to send em...
Have you tried sending one to yourself? Also, are you on wifi? I know that should be old news but the update tmobile sent out a long time ago didn't fix that issue for everyone.
no i havent tryed that.... and i never recived any tmo updates, its a new device about 2 weeks old and was 100% wiped when i put cm on... i always do a clean wipe
and no im not on wifi... purely hsdpa
**edit** sent and recived on my end just fine, but everyone else still reports a red x when sent.... i know alot of em are on verizon.... could this be a carrier conflict seeing as im not on offical supported software??
have you tried using a different messaging app? i had that problem with my g1 and when i tried sending a message with handcent sms it worked just fine
I can't get images from people... It just sits there saying downloading (mind you it is a 26KB file...
WTF
Any thoughts?
I've gotten lots of them, and sent lots of them with no issues, using stock messaging app..
Did you try restarting your phone? i had that same problem but my pictures were not sending, it said sending but never sent, i was also roaming with barely a signal(middle of nowhere).
But after i made it back to the city it sent.

I've rebooted and flashed new kernel... no bueno.
if you happen to use google voice integration you won't receive mms. you'll need to have the images sent to your phone number instead of your gv number.

I think the above is accurate IF you have a GV number AND a sprint number. However, if you started with a Sprint number and used GV integration (NOT porting your Sprint # to GV) then: MMS would arrive to your phone's messaging app, but not to GV app or GV web interface.
I took advantage of sprints GV integration months ago with my og EVO 4g, no problems. Picked up ET4G and now I can't send or receive MMS. Searching for a solution...
My wife had this issue on her ET4g. I updated profile, prl and firmware/software and it was resolved. In frustration I did all three before checking to see if it worked so I'm not sure exactly which of one resolved her problem. But mms send and receive fine now.

I do have Google Voice, but I "skipped" integration...
I only use GV for voicemail.
It is weird... I think the phone cannot receive Png files (take a screenshot and try sending it to someone).

I called sprint yesterday, they updated my profile, had me reboot, no dice. PRL update, no dice. Remove battery and wait a few minutes, reboot, no dice. Getting desperate, I loaded custom PRL 00001 for constant verizon roaming.... whaddya know, speeds increased, but still no functioning MMS. I'm tempted to reset everything on my phone, but don't really want to reconfigure everything. Ugh.
I'm not rooted, have not attempted root. I switched back to Sprint 60681 PRL, still no MMS. Suggestions?
I've also noticed that my phone doesn't upload to pics to twitpic or yfrog successfully while on 3g (via tweetdeck). I wonder if there's some radio hardware or software bug that makes uploading difficult/slow?

I guess I'm just not sure how a Hard Reset would change anything to suddenly allow MMS sending. I've tried handcent, then uninstalled and back to stock messaging app, still no dice.
Anyone want to hypothesize about how a hard reset would enable MMS?
Your problem may be that you need too go on the google voice webpage not app and delete you phone number off of it. I had same issue changing.devices. delete your number off the voice webpage uncheck it so its not assigned too any phone. Delete google.voice.from your phone. Re download it then do the carrier integration again when u first open it. Alot of people have this.problem everytime u change devices u need too do this. Even if its the same number. Went through exact same thing. Had same issue. Trust me try it. I actualy called sprint they had me reset prl and profike blah blah didnt work then said i needed too contact google. But i stumbled upon the solution in a forum for google voice integration

I send screen shots too people all the time.
I had this problem with my Hero but not my Photon or E4GT.
I have the same problem. Started some time last week. I called Sprint and they did like 5 resets, no luck. They told me to take it to the Sprint store.
So today I spent an hour and 20 mins in the Sprint store where they did all sorts of resets and system updates, no luck. In fact, he told me he had 3 other Epic 4g Touch's in the back that came back with the same problem, and he didn't have any new ones to give me. He told me to call back on Friday and see if he has any new phones in stock.
This whole issue was on a stock phone, did all sorts of hard resets. I just rooted my phone, still using a stock kernal though. Still having the same problem. EVERYTHING works except for MMS. Not only that, but when I try to log on with pictures.sprintpcs.com, the site is not working either. STRANGE... the other phone number on my account log in OK.
Any change's that can be made to the MMS proxy?
Hard reset solved it for me today. I reset, then sent an mms before installing any apps. Success! Then I reinstalled google voice. My guess is that my problem had something to do with google voice integration, & a new phone. I'd bet that the other new ET4G's at the back of your sprint store perhaps could be similarly solved? "de-integrate" GV then reintegrate?
Odd, I know. But all is now working well here.

I tried a hard reset no luck... Sprint tried it. I tried to root, no luck. Sprint will replace my phone. I just don't see how EVERYTHING WORKS except MMS. It makes no sense. Anoyne have any RTSP or Port changes that could be made?
I was having this problem when a friend sent me a MMS and it was stuck just saying download. I installed Handcent, opened the message thread, and clicked the download button. Worked right away.
SO my total time on this issue is now up to 7 hours total, an hour and a half in a store and 5 and a half on the phone with Sprint.
I FINALLY got them to admit that this was an account/network issue and not a phone issue. They opened a network issue and I have to wait 72 hours for a reply now.
For anyone that just can't seem to send or receive pictures, but the phoen says it sent, try checking out www.pictures.sprintpcs.com
In my issue, I can't even log into the site, it tells me that my phone number isn't a valid Sprint number... Mind you, from the square one, I TOLD SPRINT THAT THIS WAS HAPPENING AND IT WAS AN ACCOUNT ISSUE AND NOT A PHONE ISSUE!! They ignored me... they had me do at least 7 phone resets over 4 phone calls and 1 store visit. I tried to explain to them that even if my phone was broken, there is no wake a broken phone would make my picturemail website stop working too.
Finally I had them activate my old Palm Pre (OMG that thing takes 3 minutes to boot up, how the hell did I ever deal with that phone?) and I tried sending picture mail from there and nothing. So they opened a network ticket (Second one, because they told me they would open one two days ago and when I called yesterday they said a ticket was never open).
The next step... Talking to billing and seeing how they could compensate me for all my headache in this. $$$$
Update:
Spoke to someone from networking. They said that Sprint is in the middle of moving things to a new "Platform". This process involves moving accounts to a new platform and I was one of the lucky ones that didn't get moved correctly and had my account deleted.
I'm having issues. After searching XDA and Google I've come to a dead end.
What I'm running currently:
-EVO 4G now running SuperSonic EvO 3.70.651.1 OTA - Stock - Sense(Odexed) (Was MikG v3.0)
-PRI: 2.15_003
-PRL: 60683
-Baseband: 2.15.00.0808
I was running KushDecks ICS for about two weeks and everything worked great besides the FC's because of Trebuchet launcher. So I flashed JaredTheGreats ICS 4.0.3 Beta 2.5 (uses Nova Launcher) then I couldn't receive mms.
I did some research and looked like I needed to run a PRL update. So I just flashed MikG V3.0 (Great flash, btw) updated PRL and I still don't receive MMS even though i can send MMS(testing with my brothers phone).
I've found some things about APN and found some sources that show how to fix the APN but none of them are working.
Any leads would be great. Thanks in advance.
Come to think of it I will post some status updates on what I try and the results. Maybe others are having the same issue.

It may be that there's something wrong with the native MMS/SMS application. In the 3D forums this is also an issue and we are downloading GoSMS as a work around. Give it a try.

Hey thanks for the reply.
Just tried Go SMS Pro. SMS send works but was delayed by about an extra 20 seconds compared to the native. SMS receive still doesn't work.

Phone just sits there, downloading and gives error or just doesn't even give the option to do so? Okay, since you're running a Sense ROM, hopefully you have access to EPST settings and have your MSL handy; run the following ##SCRTN#, input your MSL and reset. It will only reset the NAI values and your phone will go through an OTA programming. Hopefully, that works for you.

Phone doesn't do anything. No notifications. No errors. Nothing. I just don't receive texts at all. I tried the ##SCRTN# and it still doesn't work.
Called Sprint they told me to do the ##SCRTN# as well. Nothing changed. Restarted my phone dozens of times. They reset their services for me several times.
Eventually, they told me their is a problem at my current location. But I believe that is a lie because my brother is on the same plan as me, with the same phone, on the same network and in the same location and he receives texts without a problem.
Also, i have this problem everywhere not only at my current location but also when I'm at my office maybe 5miles away. Even when I'm in the city 20miles away. I'm not receiving no texts at all.
I'm curious to what the problem could be...
I'm losing hope. :/
Other thing that could be tried is to move from device to device. Swap into another phone, let it program, try a test text message, if you receive switch back.
What exactly do you mean by swap into another phone?

Get another phone and activate it on your account/number. Send a test text to yourself. If you receive on that temp phone, switch back. If not a smartphone you could/would incur prorated charges, but will definitely know whether its the hardware or not.

Alright. I'll try that Monday when I have the ability to.
I'm thinking of unrooting my phone and taking it in to the Sprint store have em deal with it.
Okay, I figured it out. Hit me like a ton of bricks and now I feel stupid. haha.
I had Google Voice set up on my account for voicemails and for some reason the setting to receive texts on my phone was turned off. I turned it on and everything went well.
Derp.
I understand this thread may be in the incorrect location, so mods or admins feel free to move it to the correct location.
So yesterday I changed over from AT&T to Straight Talk on the bring your own phone feature.
I used my Galaxy Note 2 (not a clone) Jelly Bean 4.1.2 software. I am able to place and receive phone calls as well as access the internet so far. My MMS is functioning to send pictures, however will not receive them. Also, my SMS does not function for sending or receiving text at all.
I followed the instructions on Straight Talk for setting the APN. When I did that I had no internet or sending of MMS. I found on google some other APN settings which made my internet and sending MMS work.
My current settings are as follows.
Name: straight talk
APN: tfdata
Proxy: not set
Port: 80
MMSC: h t t p : / / mms-tf . net (without spaces)
MMS Proxy: mms3 . tracfone . com (without spaces)
MMS Port: 80
It's only been 24 hours since I switched but I've spent basically that entire time trying different APN's I found online.
I also made a Facebook account and went to the support tab on their facebook. I chatted with a person from tech support, however they were unable to resolve my issue. It was the exact same thing as talking to a tech support member at their 800 number. It was a whole lot of...
"send yourself a text and see if you get it"
Didn't work
"okay turn your phone off and back on again"
okay
"try sending yourself a text and see if you get it"
nope didn't work still
"okay trying deleting your text messages, it's probably full"
okay
"restart the phone and try to send yourself a message"
didn't work again
"Okay make sure your APN settings are exactly as they are on our website"
yep they are
"Okay now try to reboot your phone again and send yourself a message"
Wait a minute...you had me LOOK at my APN settings and since they're okay, we are just going to reboot again? Really?
"Okay we are going to walk you through a factory reset of your phone. You will probably lose any pictures, video or music you had saved on the phone. Let me know when you are ready to go ahead with the process"
Ummmm...CLICK...I hung up...
Except the chat support operator hung up on me when I tried their facebook support. They simply disconnected leaving behind a message saying "to assist you further, we will need to speak to you directly, please call our 800 number blah blah blah". They basically had me do the same thing as the phone operator except they once even had me remove my sim card and put it back in then reboot.
So...I still have no SMS or MMS.
I don't feel like it's going to be an APN setting issue because I tried every APN I could find on google yesterday and today. They all seem to allow me to do the same things and they all seem to restrict SMS. I find this odd because most people with APN problems, the main complaint seems to just be not being able to send/receive MMS only.
I was unable to delete or edit the AT&T APN that was already in the phone. Unfortunately the APN Backup & Restore app will not work for me because my software is version 4.1.2 so I'm feeling trapped here. Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Here's my apn guide. Hopefully it might help you...

Are you rooted?
Is that stock firmware?
Have the device ever been rooted?
Did ya get it used?

Well after my wife talked to ST with some attitude they have finally offered to send a new sim card to me, which is the first new thing they've tried not involving rebooting my phone. I don't have much faith in it providing a fix. If it does, I will update this thread to show my findings, however if it does not I will be returning to AT&T to get a gophone sim.

No my phone isn't rooted.
Yes it's stock
I don't know if it's ever been rooted. I am the second owner of this phone.
Yes I got the phone used.
I'll look at your link. I'm not afraid to keep trying other options right now. My new sim won't be here for another 3 to 5 days. That's way too long to be without sms. I downloaded Voxer and can send text and pictures through its features but not everyone in my contacts has Voxer or wants to get another app just because of me. This has sucked all the way around.
So my new SIM card arrived today. I installed it immediately and placed a call to Straight Talk via a different phone (wifes iPhone) to activate it. I am well finished activating my new SIM and am able to place calls as well as send MMS, yet still cannot receive them nor send/receive SMS yet. It's been a several hours now and nothing. This sucks. I didn't want to wipe my phone completely but I tried it. Back to factory settings and still nothing. In the process of downloading all my apps and putting all my pictures back on my phone now. Blah.
For anyone interested in hearing how this turned out, I sort of have an answer. My SMS and MMS both work now as well as internet.
After putting my new SIM card in and having Straight Talk re-provision my account, then hard resetting my phone, it ended up working after about 5 hours. I kept trying to send SMS off and on during that time and suddenly a message made it to my wifes phone and she was able to reply. So far everyone in my contacts can get messages and reply. It was Straight Talks problem all along.
UPDATE: So I crushed my Note 2 in a machine at work while using the flash light app on it. The sim card and memory card survived. I ordered a new Note 2 unlocked from Amazon. The only difference between the new phone and my old one aside from color, is that mine was not unlocked and this one is.
I put my same sim card from the old phone into the new one. Everything worked again except mms. After going back and forth with ST trying to get a new sim card again, they had me set my apn mms proxy to "mms3 . tracfone . com" without the spaces. After a restart, I was able to send pictures to my wife and get pictures from her. I sent pictures to various contacts all morning and suddenly have a new problem. Now my pictures say they failed and have an exclamation point next to them in my inbox, but my contacts were still getting pictures after that occurred. I did a restart again and now they don't get pictures and I still get the exclamation point. Also I get a pop up that says Error: Network Error Occurred. Any ideas?

Well, I tried that. This time when I sent a picture, I got the swirling circle (loading) to the lower right of the picture I tried to send. It was loading for about 2 or 3 minutes and finally showed that it sent. Everyone was getting my pictures 3 times on their phones before my phone would say it failed. This time, my wife got my picture one time and it shows on my phone that it did send. Thanks for the help.
I think it took a while to send just now because I'm being throttled by Straight Talk.

just a quick update for you...the whole issue where everyone was getting my pictures 3 times...worked itself out. Your suggestion to delete the APN type is what got my pictures to send. Then after a few days it randomly quit sending the picture 3 times and then saying it failed.
Now my phone works great
