Okay, so I upgraded to the new rom and radio and everything is working PERFECTLY, with the exception of one thing. lol. My MMS.
I am unable to receive MMS messages. I can send them out with no problem, I just cant receive them. What someone sends a MMS message to me first the sender and the message display as garbage code (Ie box ~0`) ect. Also when I try to download the MMS message, it tells me that the message can not be downloaded and displays an error.
This is the ONLY problem I have come across with this rom so far, other than that its perfect. If someone can help me out with this issue I would really appreciate it! Thx. btw, im on Verizon if that makes a difference.

If you are with sprint, sprint is currently up to somethin because with all roms and fixes the mms stopped working. search MMS in the forums for full details.
could another verizon user please verify? if needed i can change verizon to mms v4.2.8.1.
edit: on 2nd thought, i remember seeing that mms has issues on 6.1, and others had resolved it...i will look into their solutions.
Just swapped MMS pix with my wife ... both on VzW and didn't have a problem. Havent tried flix ... i think i have one and will try it.
I am on vzw and my mms from some people never came in yet another persons came in right away... Not sure if its related at all.. Both other users were on vzw also. It took 3 tries for the 1st persons to get it me but the other one came in right away...
DCD - I am having the same issue on Alltel, but my opinion is I think it is related to the connection (Radio). It starts to send the picture and then it cuts off saying Message Delivery Failed or Message Receipt Failed (Edit-I know this version of Arcsoft MMS originally worked)
tharris297 - are you doing this on WiFi or EVDO?

I have sent and recieved MMS pix and flix with no problems on verizon. And dont tempt me with the arcsoft MMS v4.2.8.1....its always worked for me and i love it just my personal biased
edit....DCD, if you need me to try it id be more than glad to try a rom with arcsoft 4.2.8.1
was able to send a flix message between me and my wife's phone using EvDO.
I'm on Alltel and I can't send/received any MMS messages. Text work fine (looks like a instant messenger though) but It fails on Picture/Video messages......
Any fixes??
Thanks
Same Issues with MMS
Im running the 2.1.0 Alltel DCD Rom and am having the same issues as described above with MMS Msging. I click send and a few seconds later receive the MSG can not be sent error.
I had the same problem with the 1.6 Alltel DCD Rom as well.
Overall I love the Rom, phone runs faster and smoother than ever before, the threaded SMS is great, and GPS runs great as well.
So overall if I could get the MMS working this Rom would be perfect.
By the way DCD, thanks for your hard work.
I'm on verizon 2.20 ROM worked PDQ, OTB... sms, mms, gps, wifi, OK
Humm... so it appears to be a mix. Some of us have the issue some of us dont.
How about this, lets all include a list of all installed applications we have as well and try to figure out if there is a software conflict present somewhere. Or is that not really a plausible cause?
Either way, this ROM is GREAT! Just gotta fix this one issue and im 100% happy.

VZW - 2.2.0
i dont get the jibberish, mine will just not have download highlighted if i have the connection set to vzw in connection manager. I usually leave the connection manager on ISP to avoid using data, but what i'll do is switch to VZW, (which greys out download in MMS) initiate a weather update on htc home to open teh data connection to vzw, then switch the connection manager back to ISP, then i can download the message. It sucks to do all these steps, but it works, and i dont get many pix anyways. I have noticed that sometimes i will get the messages instantly, and other times its when i reboot i'll get like 2-3 all of the sudden. Sounds more radio related than ROM related for that issue.
I am getting the same problem, any help would be appreciated.
Well I noticed something that I think is or atleast part of the problem. When I go into my Messaging options there is no MMS listed. Also in MMS configuration there is no MMS servers listed. So how do I fix this? VZW btw
I figured it out, atleast my problem. This is what I had to do. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=17853
EVDO
I know in the area that I live in the EVDO is a bit sketchy. Sometimes it connects, sometimes it doesn't.
Where I work, I never had any problems getting EVDO to pop up.
I can't send or recieve messages from home, but I can while I'm at work.
SO...EVDO connection problem? If I'm right, sms doesn't use EVDO. Bug?
To the Alltel Users:
I had the same problem when installing the ROM and ran this upgrade to MMS that was ripped from the Touch and was able to send and receieve again with no problems.
Here is the Link To Download...The cab will delete the previous version and upgrade it for you. All Settings should be ok

I tried that fix, however even when I edit the registry key, it does not allow me to save the sever. The add server button now works, but once I type in all the information and hit save, it does not save the server I just added into the server list.

Yesterday i get an MMS from my gf. I have the threaded palm app, on the old 1.35 cing rom the stand mms (m$ messaging) handled my MMS. However the threaded app said it couldn't be downloaded. SO i tried playing with the setting in the app to no avail. Then set them back, and now non of my messages would send. So i was like well lets take the wm6 plunge. I did it and none of my messages would send, so went back to 2.06 and it won;t send my messages either. Any ideas? I am going to try my sim on another phone, and try to call cingular but I am all outta ideas.
Thanks

How long has it been since the error first appeared??
Also are you CERTAIN the mms settings are correct?
Theres several problems that might cause this, could be your GPRS/3G connection not working correctly (wrong DNS settings etc..) or your service provider may be experiencing technicall difficulties?!
about 24 hours.
I doubt the mms setting are correct. but I have reflashed ROMS. I am going to try to load the cingular ext rom into the wm6 rom to seee what happens. Then I am gonna try to swap sims or phones.

Firstly CONFIRM the mms and gprs settings, get them written down. Dont bother with the extrom Ive never used them (HTC TyTN but im on O2-UK so nothing of use) and just manually create the connection and profile for mms/gprs. Send a test MMS (send it to an email address) and see if it works.
If this works you are looking at an issue with your settings in the other MMS program. Have you used a back-up program to save things?? Because the general concensus is to not use them as they dont always restore correctly...and it even less likely to work when restoring things into WM6 that originated in WM5 :s
MY GPRS Setting are correct. I really could careless about MMS. I really just want sms to work.

Ah i see, so its SMS aswell as mms that isnt working? Can you tell me what the service centre is set to in your device (it should set it automatically from the SIM card).
(tap the signal indicator icon, tap settings from the balloon that appears.....tap the services tab, highlight "Voice Mail and Text Messages" then tap "get settings"......the service centre numbers for sms and voicemail should appear after a second or two)
MRVANX...You suspicions were right. I changed the number. So think the threaded app must have made the change to the registry when I was playing around with the setting, and for some reason that change was either saved to my sim....? or maybe to the registry.
MRvanx---thanks for reminding me where these setting were. still odd though. i can't wait for the true wmx.2 to be out.

Registry sir, the service centre and voicemail settings are returned by the network when the "get settings" button is pressed...thats why you never have to manually enter the numbers. So its working ok now??
It is working now...but odd.
Couple of weird things I've noticed lately. First off, I never use the standard messaging Android app, I use Handcent. I also installed Voice and got it configured. I have 2 main questions, both of which are text related. First off, ever since installing Voice, Voice also now keeps tracks of my text messages. Is there any way to stop this? I have it configured now so that I dont get notifications from Voice, but if I go into the app to check a VM I see all my texts, and that's annoying.
Also, before when I would used to get an MMS (picture, video, whatever), it would connect to 3G to download it, even if I was connect to Wi-Fi. My phone no longer does that. Now if I get an MMS, even something small like 50kb, it takes like almost a whole minuet to download it because I'm pretty sure it's downloaded over 1x (doesn't show the 3G symbol anymore). Anyone know how to change this? I may have changed a setting somewhere, but I can't remember, and this is driving me nuts.
I used the G-Voice app on the 4G but I decided not to install it on the 3D. Using the stock message app is alot easier and have no issues with MMS. I dont get visual voicemail which kinda sucks but I still like it better then opening an app just to get to my texts.
Unless you disabled 3g manually you can just turn your phone on airplane mode and then back off airplane mode, or restart the phone... That's strange though, I'm pretty sure my messages download on 3g and i get them in like 15 seconds...

Go to your Google account in your desktop or mobile browser and disable text messaging from your voice settings. And the whole 3G MMS thing is a known issue I've always had using handcent, especially on my 3D. I never use stock app but since its so reliable because of compatibility issues with the 3VO being so new, it would be wise to go stock until app developers update their apps to support our phones.

I was able to verify that something is in fact screwy with my networks. I like the fact that if I'm connected to WiFi my 3G is disabled since it helps conserve battery, but I dislike the fact that this also means that MMS messages are forced to use 1x instead of 3G. I disabled WiFi and tried sending a picture over MMS and it sent just fine over 3G, but as soon as I reconnect to a WiFi network it forces any MMS's to use 1x instead of 3G so they take FOREVER to send/receive. Anyone know if there's a way to change this? I remember on my original EVO running CM6 I never had this problem. 3G remained disabled if WiFi was connected, except it would kick on for MMS messages. Sigh.
you have to uninstall google voice then reinstall. this time when it asks if you want to integrate say no then choose to use just for voicemail on the next screen

Thanks for the help guys. I just spend the last hour trying to get this setup the way I wanted and in the end I decided to completely remove Voice and stick to Sprint's voicemail for now, lol. I'll go back to Voice when we have CM for the 3VO
Still trying to figure out my 3G/MMS problem though Can any of you try it on your phones? While connected to a home/office WiFi network try to send an MMS (picture or whatever) and tell me if 3G comes on to send the message, or if it takes forever to send it.
Further testing: the exact same thing happens if I'm connected to 4G! Damn this sucks! So it's like, if I'm connected to a faster network (Wi-Fi or 4G) then 3G refuses to come on no matter what I do. Makes sense if you want to optimize battery life, but shouldn't it come on if it needs to do something that REQUIRES 3G? Such as send an MMS? -_-
Sorry if this is an ignorant comment, but why would the phone need to switch to 3G or 1X if you're connected via 4G? That seems really wonky to me.

if you watch on the notification toggle page, when you turn on 4g/wifi it actually turns off "mobile network" ie 3g. pretty dumb if you ask me.

I think all CDMA networks are like this, but the reason it needs to switch is because SMS/MMS messages can't be sent through WiFi or 4G.

That's interesting because I actually don't have this problem. If I have 4G or WiFi enabled it still has Mobile network and checked and enabled.
So is it safe to assume that you have the same issue with this phone? Where your MMS messages take forever to send/receive if you're on WiFi or 4G? I swear it never did this when I first got it, but now I'm starting to question that too...

about GV.. i was having similar issues.. it kept showing as my default text app, and no matter what i did with the GV settings, it wouldnt change a thing..
so i started comparing the GV in my phone with my wifes hero.. and when lookin at the version i realized that after i reinstalled all my apps on my phone i updated GV.. bad mistake.. i deleted that version and reinstalled my previous version and all has been well since..
if u want to go back to using GV without the issues, let me know and i can send u the version i have that will work the way u want..

Awesome, thanks for this!
Still going to keep trying to fix this MMS issue though since it's driving me CRAZY! I like the fact that 3G turns off when I'm on WiFi or 4G, but it should turn on briefly to send/receive MMS so I'm not stuck waiting forever while they send/receive over 1x. I'm going to delete Handcent just in case it's what's screwing everything up, but somehow I doubt it.
I tried finding an answer but couldn't pinpoint the issue. When wifi is turned on, my SMS/MMS messages are hit or miss as far as sending/receiving.
I have tried different ROMs. I usually do full wipes/installs whenever installing new ROMs. Will usually see the issue regardless.
Anyone know of a fix?...due to the lack of threads I'm scared I am a rare case.
Thanks.

When on wifi you should be able to send and receive SMS like usual. Phone calls work too. Why? Because wifi mode makes your phone act like a phone not a smartphone.
On wifi MMS, email and web because they use your router to access the carrier portal. That is what the APN setting is for.
So the answer is it should be the same on or off.
Thank you.
I do understand it 'should' be working, receiving SMS/MMS while Wifi is on...
Do you use juicedefender ? Noticed with the profile I had set up it wouldn't download mms on wifi because it turned data off

I can replicate this problem on a brand new ICS rom with no personal apps installed. Currently I'm on the new Collective RC1 but the problem isn't the ROM, it seems.
Just to be sure - you do have cell service when you're hooked to the router, correct?
MMS and text messages still go out through the cellular network, even if you're hooked to wifi - no cell service = no messaging (or phone calls either).
If it's working properly you should see the E or 4G symbol come on when you send an MMS message, even if you're hooked to WIFi - example

Fyi, my wifi is on right now (not connected to any wifi) and an mms message has sat in 'sending' status for about 10 minutes now. Internet works fine, go figure.
Check your APN. they second half deals with mms.
I have 2 notes. One rooted but stock and the other fully stock. Wifi on/off, 4g displaying, etc... My sms's are hit n miss too. Haven't changed APN. if I resend, it usually goes.

I'll look around for the APN settings here...thank you.
I checked the APN settings and they are identical to other APN settings I found.
It seems, to me, the issue is somehow wifi related. As if my Note is forgetting carrier radio while wifi is on.
Anyone else?
Is packet data selected? It's a wireless setting?
No idea how I'd select packet data
On wifi with cellular on you can get everything but MMS.
You need cellular DATA to send and receive those.
Wifi will get all your other data (web,email, etc).
Cellular will get you SMS
Cellular data is needed for MMS

I understand this. My issue is when wifi is switched 'on' I mostly cannot receive MMS and sometimes cannot receive SMS. This is regardless if wifi is connected to a source or not. I do not turn off cellular data.
There aren't any settings, that I have seen, to fix this. Is my Note defective?...or is it because I'm using cooked ROMs? Yes, I follow the directions fully when using a new ROM.
My wifes MyTouch Slide acted like this back in the day. Was a real PITA.
Hey all. For about a month or so now my phone won't download voicemail messages to the Sprint VM app. I have cleared the cache and even reset the device with no luck. I even upgraded to the 4.3 rom from Mo and it still doesn't work. I chatted with Sprint yesteday about the issue. They reset my voicemail on their side and again, no luck. They said I need to take it into a repair center and have them look at it because it seems to be hardware. I don't understand how it can be hardware. I can send and receive calls just fine. I can call my VM box and hear messages just fine. Any ideas? Thanks.

No Voicemail Notifications
If Visual Voicemail is not functioning properly on your device, consider the following options:
Make sure there are no third party applications that are conflicting with Visual Voicemail. Go SMS and Handcent are two applications that cause issues.
● *If Go SMS is installed, you will need to disable the Disable other text notifications option.
● *If Handcent is installed, you will need to navigate that application's menu as follows: Settings > Application Settings > Default Messaging Applications and select Disable.
Once you have confirmed that there are no third party applications conflicting with Visual Voicemail, follow these steps:
1. **Using your device keypad, press *38 and then Talk to cancel any call forwarding.
2. **Shut down your device, remove and replace the battery, then turn the device back on.
3. **Update your profile by navigating the menu as follows: Settings > System Updates > Update profile.
4. **Confirm that Visual Voicemail is working properly.
If the recommended steps above do not resolve your issue, dial *2 (for Sprint) or dial 611 (for prepaid customers) to talk to a Customer Care Representative.
For further Visual Voicemail support, go to the customer care page on your service provider's web site.

Mine goes out occasionally as well, but since I updated to the official HTC 4.3 build via RUU it stops working daily. I can reset it and get it to work, but then it stops working several hours later - perhaps when I switch off of WiFi and/or switch cell towers.
Here is what I do to get it to work:
1. Clear the data for the VMM app
2. Launch app and let it do it's thing (reprovision itself making sure I agree to the data consent during setup
3. Update my profile via settings
4. send [email protected] a voicemail at least 1:30 minutes in length (using the Microphone icon in the VMM app)
5. leave myself a voicemail and ensure I get it
Note: try the steps above in a different order if it doesn't work the first time
Handcent seems to make no difference if it is selected as the default app for messaging or not.
The fact that it's failing to deliver voicemails less than 24 hours after re-setting everything up leads me to believe this Mo 4.3 HTC build still has plenty of issues to be ironed out (lack of data roaming, lost connectivity notification causing settings to crash when clicking on the notification, etc.) - however I am getting about 30-32 hours on battery with light usage now which is about double what I got before.
edit: just tried the hands free activation method ( ##72786#) and it's working again - will post again if it stops working
OK, so after resetting everything in my steps outlined in my previous post, and doing a hands free activation - my VMM worked for about 3 solid days.
Starting yesterday morning, with no changes on my end to my phone what so ever, messages started to just sit in my sprint voicemail (had to call my voicemail to retrieve) with VMM not notifying me of new voicemails nor downloading the VMM to my phone locally.
I had to do the hands free activation method a little over a month ago because I wasn't receiving texts. Maybe I should try that again for the vvm.
Saw this on the Sprint community forums related to this issue:
"I eventually talked to a higher up tech support in OK City. They were able to see my voicemail stuck in the Sprint system pending delivery, and after discussing it with the senior tech, they said it sounds a lot like my issue is related to a "market wide outage" that has been open for a few months now (which lines up with when I first started having issues).
I explained that my girlfriend who has the same phone with Sprint (but on a different plan) and my parents who are on the same plan but with different phones (and different location) don't have this issue. They said this issue depends on how your particular number gets routed through the system, so it is possible I would have the problem but the others would not.
Here's the kicker. The expected resolution of this ticket is for JUNE 30TH!!!!!!! That means that if this is indeed my problem, I will have suffered through it for 6 months before it is resolved. And that is IF this is my problem. If not, I have to wait 3.5 more months just to find that out.
I'm not even sure what I'm paying for anymore."

Just got a new z5c - I'm in the US on AT&T. This didn't seem to be a problem until last night, but now I'm having messages take between 5 minutes and 2 hours to come into my phone. People are still getting my sent messages instantly. Never experienced this problem on my old phone (2013 Moto X using same sim card), so I'm guessing it's not the carrier but the phone itself.
Also, restarting my phone seems to cause all the backed up messages to come in at once. Really annoying problem, wondering if anyone can help.
I switched my sim card back to my old phone and a bunch of messages came flooding in. Asked friends to test texting me with sim card in each phone - texts came instantly on old phone and way delayed on z5c. Already disabled iMessage. I've tried using Textra, the messenger app that comes with the phone, and Google messaging and all have the same outcome.

Odd. I'm on AT&T as well and have not experienced this. Are you sure your apn is correct?

I'm using the auto-APN detected by Textra:
http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
proxy.mobile.att.net
port 80
Is this different from yours? Also, wouldn't the APN only affect MMS, not SMS?

I set my apn in phone settings, not the app.

I had a similar problem, then I noticed the "queue background data" setting in power management was turned on by default. Turning that off fixed it for me.

Did you ever get this figured out? My wife is having a similar problem with her phone (MMS won't send) and I can't figure it out. Her LTE works fine and SMS messages send and receive like normal. But she can't send or receive picture MMS messages.
I remember someone posting they had to modify the settings (don't remember if it's apn or something else) to allow ONLY ipv4 (not both or IPv6)..that resolved the issue.

I tried that too. Someone mentioned it in another thread so I gave it a go. No dice.
I solved my issue by doing a factory reset - apparently there's a problem with importing messages from an older phone.
It doesn't sound like the same problem you're experiencing though.
Hi! I just wanna ask you guys if your z5 compact is displaying LTE on the signal bars on ATT. I have a z5 compact and i only get 4g. My device is registered as lte capable device.
All international versions display 4g instead of lte. So the 4g should indeed be lte speeds.
