I got that too today when I was trying to send a pic to another TMO subscriber, I send it to ATT and it went through fine, try resending to TMO, and get the error.
Just tried resending it, and the error. I compiled a new MMS with the same pic to the same subscriber and it went through

I am having this same issue. When ever I try to send an mms I get that error. I am running one of masters 2.2 roms, but I have tried other 2.2 roms and I have gotten this same error. But when I flash back to my nandroid of a 2.1 rom the error goes away.

FIXED that Error on my phone
NEVERMIND: ONLY WORKED BRIEFLY THAN BACK TO SAME PROBLEM.....
I had same problem with Obsidian v2 & v4.2 ULF with picture messaging otherwise MMS.
This fixed it perfectly for me:
Go to your main menu settings.
Than Applications, Next Manage Applications, than Running Applications.
Click on "Messaging", Click "Clear Data"
Exit back to main screen.
Now open messaging.
Go to messaging settings by hitting the menu button on the phone.
While in messaging settings page, hit the phones menu button again,
only one option appears to "Restore Default Settings".
Click it & exit.
Now try to send a MMS/picture message. Worked like a charm for me.
Hope it helps some of you all out.

I just flashed today the axura 2.0.5, I am also having this same issue.
But this does not happen if the txt message has no picture attachment.
This is the only issue I have with the axura rom
I think I will have to go back to 2.1 if I can find a fix to this issue

The only way I have found to send an mms is to actually type the phone number I am sending it to. If I try to send an mms to one of my contacts then I get the error message. It is pretty anoying

Ditto axura 2.0.5. No MMS. Have tried every answer I could find but NG. Hope there is a fix soon.

***NEVERMIND: ONLY LOOKS LIKE IT WORKS BUT FRIENDS DONT RECEIVE THE ATTACHED PICTURE ONLY THE TEXT. f**K IT i GIVE UP. Just going to have to wait for a better ROM or newer froyo build or something. Frustrated but its ok. Whatever.
Below is for informational use only as it it still did not fix issue:
I eventually pulled the mms.apk from Obsidian V3 ROM. It is the AOSP mms version Team Whiskey modified to work with (android 2.2) & Obsidian in that release version. I also changed the icon to the touchwiz messaging icon to keep the look instead of the greem messaging icon. I will post the file later tonight for anyone interested. It does work fine for me. Tested several times using it in Obsidian V4.2 ULF.
You will simply have to close your current messaging application, clear data than use root explorer to delete the existing mms.apk in your system/app/ section and paste the one I'm using. Will have it posted after I get off work today. At least I have normal functionality this way.

Error in server response - axura ROM
Also using Axura 2.0.5
I been trying all kinds of get around. I nstalled handsent app , using a different mms app doesn't fix the issue. It worked only once , then error in server response again!
tried typing the tel number to send the mms, still error, very annoying.
And if I go back to 2.1 I can send out mms
Feelx77,
if you can post your solution with an installation procedure , alot of us will be happy

Heres the AOSP MMS that Team Whiskey had in their Obsidian V3 ROM. I pulled it and changed the default icon to the touchwiz icon.
As in my previous post one page back, it is useable and it looks like it sends your pictures but it really doesn't either for me. My friends only received the text that is included when I attached a picture. This mms.apk did not give me any errors, it just did not really send any pictures. Only looks like it does but no one receives them. If anything new comes to mind I will post later for everyone.
So, I just put back the regular MMS.apk on my phone for now. Out of ideas. Just have to wait to see if developers find a solution or fix it in new upcoming ROM releases or next froyo build.
Posting the file below if anyone wants to experiment with it. Installation instructions are in my previous post one page back.

Add area code to fix?
Master who made the ROM hnted how to fix the issue "he said: add the area code" I am posting the link to what he said
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821468&page=218
read post #2172
I tried to read back but I can not find the original post stating how to fix the problem by adding the area code.
I don't understand what he means by adding the area code. Maybe someone can comment on this fix.
FYI

Yeah I've heard making sure you have the area code or adding "1" in front of number. Those ideas work if your typing in a number to picture text but if I select a contact saved on the phone thats when it errors.
Other suggested moving contacts over to SIM card and than it works but that defeats the luxury of having a smart phone if I cant keep the contacts on my phone with each contacts extra details that cant be saved to SIM cards.
So, I know I CAN picture text manually for each message I send but I am trying to find a natural way to send mms picture messages easily by selecting any contact in my drop down list that has been saved to the phone without trickery....just like it did exactly with eclair 2.1 before. Ya' know

I read back thru the post, it was discuss to add the area code. Obviously I add the area code because my parents lives in ohio and I am live in california. I tried the following to no success:
1-000-000-0000
000-000-0000
(000)000-0000
1 (000) 000-0000
Is there someone who can tell me how to retrieve the error log, so that I can send it to master for review

It is 10:30pm , I am in communication with master right now, about this issue. He gave me things I can try, but none of them has fixed the issue.
I will let you guys know once, I get a good fix to the issue.
The ROM is great, except for this hitch,

I gave up on this a month a go. I switched to the Handcent mms client. I keep checking to see if the stock client works as I don't want two mms.

I also about to give up on the axura 2.0.5 , the only thing is that the skype works because it based on the 2.2 froyo .
Based on the axura 2.0.5 thread that I read, master believes that there is no problem.
Based on this thread , there is a number of users with this issue. It maybe a fraction of the users, but it's real.
I've ask master, how to pull out the log, so that I can send it to him for analysis.

I don't believe there is no problem, there is deff a problem.
It just amazes me that only some of you have the issue.
Keep in mind, it isn't only my ROM.
If you want a fix for it right this second then you can install the CM6 MMS

Hello Master,
Thanks for responding.
I really like your ROM,
Hopefully you will find a fix for it, it maybe in the form of a patch.
Do you stilll want me to send you a log, just let me know how to do this, and I will send it to you immediately.
Thank you again for this great ROM

MMS Server response error!

Ok so trying to send a picture mail/MMS. But it fails sending! giving me server response error. So I tried the setting fix posted under the development area.but still fails to send any MMS. Please help me out here! Running Leaked Stock Froyo JK6 Rom. Thanks a million!
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
yeah, I am also having this problem. tried almost everything. But nothing worked. I think it has something to do with the 2.2. I tried other custom roms based on the 2.2, I still get the same mms error.
Think I found a work around. Make sure the numbers in your contacts.don't have any dashes in them so say 2065551234 instead of 206-555-1234 worked for me. Works now! Try it and let me know!

^^^ this worked for me, you can also try using chompsms.
workaround solution
I had this same issue on AT&T Captivate (Samsung SGH-I897) Galaxy S phone after I updated to 2.2 (froyo).
Send as attachment
However I was able to get it to work if I went opened up a message to whomever I was sending MMS and then clicked on the options button and chose attachment and clicked on the media of my choosing. This did allow me to send successfully.
MMS Server response error - Possible Fix!
I've ready through and tried all of the "fixes" for the MMS but to no avail. However, after having read through many other sites, I discovered that it might be as simple as re-listing your contacts' phone numbers so that they are only 10-digit strings. For example: My phone number should be listed as 13032045999, not +1-303-204-5999, nor 303-204-5999, nor 303.204.5999, etc. Get it?
Try resetting the listing you're having difficulties sending an MMS or SMS to, and give it another try.
This might also help with syncing your contacts with your Gmail contacts online.

Text messages showing up in Call Log Bionix-V1.3.1+Overstock 1.3

Hi everybody I did a search on this and didn't really come up with anything but a link back to the TW Bionix thread that didn't have the old fix there (I'm assuming because it was no longer applicable).
That being said I just recently flashed Bionix-V 1.3.1 and Overstock, had a couple of really horrible Titanium Restores, Odined back to stock and then went to Bionix and Overstock again and hand installed all my apps and everything has been going swimmingly until I just realized that I am getting my text messages in my call log. I was wondering if anybody had a link fix or possible even the fix itself. Thanks in advance I appreciate any input.

Really easy fix, just go towards the bottom of the first post and download the add-on for AOSP.mms, move it to your SIM card.
Boot into clockwork recovery and flash it, the old logs will still show that you texted someone but it won't show it after you flash the add-on
No need to flash anything. Go into your call log and hit menu. You'll see a menu selection that says "View by". Select that and hit "All calls". Done.
I should say I'm using a different ROM but it should be the same.
Thanks guys. I thought U remember seeing something about it being the Aosp mms app. Im going to flash it now. I should also note there is no "all calls" with this combo. I report back once I know more.

I wish there was a Touch Wiz Mms fix for this. I was using the AOSP but the dark blue themed TW in the themes section gelled better with my overall phone theme.
Sorry guys took a weekend vacation. The AOSP mms did fix the issue. Thanks again for the quick replies 8)

Only MMS unable to Send/Recieve

I found this solution on the cm7 forum for the htc evo stable mod, thanks to atyler, (forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/19827-mms-not-sending-with-cm7-rc4/[/url]).

Since upgrading to CM7 RC4 from RC2, I haven't been able to send any MMS messages. I select a photo to send via Messaging from my gallery and hit send, but it doesn't send. If I exit from the person I'm trying to send to and go back to them, the photo and message are sitting there not sent. I'm using the standard messenger that comes with CM7 and do not have Google Voice set to do texting. Anyone else having this issue or know something I can try to fix this? Thanks!
atyler responded:
I had the same problem on 2 different versions of CM on 2 separate phones. This fix worked both times. Use root explorer, and make sure it is set to R/W mode (read/write). Navigate to:
/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db and delete that file, then restart your phone. After the restart, you should be able to send and receive MMS messages.
It worked for me!
I'll second this....had the MMS issue on any GB ROM....tried this fix and it immediatelu worked fine. I will add that I DID NOT delete the original telephony just renamed it OLD_telephony.db and rebooted. Same net effect but kept the original file out of an abundance of caution.
Awesome, couldnt figure out how to fix this, thanks
I use the one click flash here for GB, and im loading a sense based rom now and I will try this and see if it works for it .
and good point on the rename in case of fail..
Thanks

MMS frustrations!

Hi All
I have searched and read numerous forums posts regarding problems with MMS sending failing, all seem to point to APN settings being the cause. However, I find that unless i have a Samsung based ROM installed, whenever I try and send or open received MMS messages, the messaging application crashes and no matter what i've done, ROMS i've tried I get the same result! any CM based kernels cause it - CM9 has always done it, and the AOKP based roms using CM9 kernels as well.
Can anyone shed any light on this? Really want to get off the horrible clunky Samsung ROMS but use MMS a lot!
Agreed. I deleted all APNs and installed fresh settings from network providers website, no joy. I gave up and use whatsapp for pics. Never looked back. I'm paying for data so why not use some for pics. Hope you find a fix soon.

Try to reboot twice.. If that doesnt work you're going to have to find the apn settings and input them manually.
Try Slim ICS ROM it;s the complete opposite to clunky!
It's a really nice ROM with lots of features and is fast and smooth
I've been using it for about 8 weeks now and think I'll stick with it, so far no problems with anything at all, no FC no errors. And MMS works perfectly

Stop using MMS. There's much better, free alternatives, such as email.
I also am unable to send MMS using Swiss Orange Me Pre-pay sim. I am running Resurrection Rom 2.6.1 and Siyah Kernel 4.0.1. All attempts to add APN setting manually, reboot and clear cache and Dalvik cache and fix permissions have not solved the problem. I have changed from Kernel 3.5.2 to 4.0.1 and still no luck. I obtained correct APN settings from the Orange shop and the staff member commented that the Kernel may not be completely compatible with the network. Could this be the answer? Or is it something to do with the Rom build itself? Has anyone got the same problem on the same setup on a different network? I am aware that trying another Rom or Kernel or Sim card may solve the problem. I'm happy with my setup and send pics using email instead as I have unlimited data. I would like to know if this is a common problem.

Whilst I may use email etc, there are still times when MMS is useful, and for people not quite a tech savvy. It's also a basic feature of a mobile phone!
I am surprised that no seems to know the answer here - surely others experience this?
Just to confirm - I have tried multiple modems/kernels/roms, permission fixes etc, and rebooting multiple times. Even re-partitioning in ODIN! I have tried getting the settings sent from O2, requesting through SIM, and enetering manually; rebooting several times when rom is installed etc. Nothing seems to fix it except a samsung ROM?

If I get your question right, this is your problem:
'Only Samsung based Roms allow you to send mms successfully'
Try this solution:
- you will have to ensure mms settings is present under APN settings. Confirm if it's correct for your network provider.
If it's not correct, you will have to find it and enter it manually because Aosp messaging app cannot save configuration messages unlike Samsung messaging app.
- Reboot your device you manually added your mms settings (if not, skip this step).
- If messaging app still crash while sending mms, then use another messaging app, I recommend Gosms. It can allow you to manually link your mms settings.
Your problem should be solved now.
Please correct me if I missed anything

Themed Dialer/Contacts/Messaging from T-mobile

I take no credit, but figured I'd share.
Links to dark themed dialer, contacts, and messaging
Instructions on installation
Followed this and it worked! I have not tested everything, but dialing out, receiving calls, getting messages and sending messages are all ok. Someone else who tested this method on Verizon mentioned sending pics via messaging was not working, but I did not personally test that.
Also, when I renamed dialer.apk in system/app, my phone was freaking out every two seconds while searching for signal. Made things difficult. I'm guessing if you're in airplane mode, that won't happen.
MAKE SURE TO MAKE A BACK UP OF ALL THE FILES BEING REPLACED. This can't be stressed enough. Either back up the files, or make a nandroid backup.

Sending MMS is the only thing I see not working, you can still receive them though. I also have GoSMS and sending MMS through that works fine. Lame workaround but nice to have the dark theme.

works well, but for me, the dialer bottom buttons didn't really change (the bottom row of buttons, voice command, call button, and back button). Very out of place

Yea I don't like the bottom as well. I also noticed that the group message settings isn't there. On the stock version when you get a group message you have 2 tabs at the bottom. One says "Group conversation" and the other says "Individual messages". You could either respond to all or just the one person. I liked that a lot, but this dark version doesn't have that.

Looking at the source thread, it appears that someone would need to make verizon specific customizations to fix the bottom buttons. Unfortunately that's beyong my abilities.

i cant believe that no one has done an international version dialer yet. seems like a lot of devs must like the white dialer
You guys can grab the international dark dialer and contacts from the ATT themes section. Nottach ported it over for his Mint jelly rom. You can also grab it from shostocks rom in the rom section.

Do you have a link ? I did a search for his username in the ATT Themes section and only 1 thread came up. Thanks.
