[Q] Sending/Receiving MMS - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I installed the app SMS Go Pro and replaced my stock sms app. The app is great, very functional and lots of options.
The problem is that, I tried different APN settings to use for my MMS. Im currently under Koodo Mobile and I have checked their settings for NON Koodo phones. I am able to send but unable to receive. When I do receive, occasionally it would be a download error.
I had my friends who used BB Bold send me a picture msg and until now I have not receive it. Its has been 6hrs. I had my other friend try it on his iPhone 3G and send me a picture msg, which i received after 5mins or so and i could not open it, "unable to download file" the error states.
I have no problem sending pic msg but receiving is the problem.
I now uninstalled the app and went back to my stock sms app and will start testing it.
Anyone here either use Handcent/Chomp/SMS Go Pro and have had any luck receiving?
Pls let me know. Thanks.

i use handcent i was unable to send and recieve i found this solution and it has worked for me so far.. go into the apn settings and under APN TYPE put in: default,mms ...
let me konw how that works out for you

Ok. Ill try that. Ty.
When I reverted back to my stock SMS. It worked but with a slight change to my apn. It seems I have to include the mms info and incorporate it into my data apn settings. Which is really weird.
I'm back now again to Go SMS Pro and with the new apn settings with data, still null.
Ill play around again n post back.

MMS with T-MOBIL

Hi guys,
I just can’t send/download mms messaging with my Hermes (HTC-8525 by cingular) it indicates an error.
I am actually with T-mobil, internet acces,text messeging are working fine.
Can somebody help me with it.? I have WM5
me too
i cant get mms to work on the hermees. i too have t-mobi
Are you try to properly setup the MMS settings on your phone?
Yes,I did set it up with the information posted at T-mobil wep page but it would not work.
Has anybody an account with T-Mobil doing good with mms's ?
Did you call T-mobile support and tell im to activate MMS service on your mobile number?
You must activate MMS on your number before setup your mobile phone. When activate MMS service, then setup MMS on the phone, turn of phone, then turn on.
I already had mms service activated but nothing works !!
Have anybody a T-mobil account to give the settin? cuz the setting from t-mobil web page doesn't work at all

Custom ROM MMS Mini Guide (If you don't use a prepaid data plan)

Well I m on Floyo 0.15 and had some issues with MMS sending/receiving.On stock 2.1 SE ROM when you have Mobile Data OFF,our X8s still automatically use GPRS to handle mms messages.On Floyo and other ROMS you need to turn it ON which may result in additional charges from your carrier if you don't use a prepaid internet data plan.
So what do you do in this case you may ask! Well if you only use WIFI for internet and still wanna use MMS you should customize APN Settings.
First google you carrier's APN settings for MMS and set it up manually.Be carefull to not use capital letters on some fields!
Then delete every other APN settings leaving Mobile Data ON all the time and Reboot!
This way you can MMS technology without any fear of additional internet charges. ;-)
APN Settings can be found in WIRELESS ->MOBILE NETWORKS->APN menu in any custom ROM!
Hope I helped someone here!
Cheers and enjoy your phones!

Ah, yes, killing all other possible internet connections. It will get the job done, but if we ever want to use broadband connection again, we'll have to configure it. Wouldn't it be easier to simply install APNdroid?

just sent request to your network provider. they will send the setting and your phone automatically install it. that's what I do when requesting for TuneTalk APN.
i ran into similar problem in my Mini pro. i tried to have 1 apn too only for mms but still can not get it to work.
more details in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13339868#post13339868
basically, my solution is to install quick settings from market, use both APN (internet and mms) and disable mobile data using q.settings.
i am not sure how qsettings work, but it doesnt work by adding mess lines in the APN. and zap, no internet, yes mms
anyway, hope this might help others with the same problem
cheers
ps: i did not mean to oot, i know this is x8 thread, but just as i said above, might help

Thanks for the guidance. After I installing "quick setting" application, I'm finally successful sending MMS from my custom ROM X8
Glad to know that it works for you in x8!
ps: a bit becareful when you turn on/off wifi. in my case, 1st time i use it, when i turn off wifi, the 3g mobil turn on by itself. since they (wifi toggle and 3g mobile data toggle) are in the same box. just pay attention to 3g data toggle after u turn on/off your wifi. if it goes back on, just switch it off again and your good to go .
for me, it was just that one time though. after that, 3g data is always off no matter what i do with the wifi. i toggle 3g mobile data back on again only when i need it

go here and set your phone setting, and choose Maxis Mobile Internet + MMS, and the go to APN settings, "APN Settings can be found in WIRELESS ->MOBILE NETWORKS->APN" delete other APNs, just leave Maxis 2G MMS on your phone. You need to Data Enable to sent and receive MMS.
This work on me.

Thanks for the heads-up, have the exact same problem, when I turned on my mobile traffic, the provider charged me regardless if I have MMS or not.
MMS is only received when the data traffic is on, however.

3G data MMS bug in froyo? or is it the problem in CM6? help....

i have a bit of a problem with 3G data and mms. in original stock 2.1 from SE i can disable 3G data, but that will not turn off MMS sending and receiving.
however, in most froyo, including in CM6-final. this is not possible. we have to enable both 3G data to get mms to work. however... i dont have a 3G data plan, and it can be very expensive .............
here are some facts that i have tried out:
1. using SE stock 2.1, it is possible to disable 3G data but still receive send mms
2. using SE stock 2.1, it is possible to have only 1 APN for mms without other types (default, supl), but still receive send mms
3. it is a froyo bug, based on things i found on the internet
4. some brand such samsung motorola, have patched it
5. i tried to set up different APN for mms (mms) and 3G (degault,supl). still can not do mms without 3G data
6. i set up only 1 APN for mms... it doesnt work
7. different APN for mms and 3G data, send an mms to myself, works, and then i delete APN for 3G data. now mms can work with only mms APN. and i dont have 3G data activity at all. but after restart. can not work again
anyone, any idea how to get the mms working without enabling 3G data?
ok. thank you
cheers

this is exactly what i was trying to explain
btw, i tried to use SMART APN apk. but it doesnt help
i am using x10 mini pro on owain CM-6 final
Anyone ..?
i know it might not be important to some. but here, where i live, i could get charge with something like 2000 USD if i am not being carefull with my data usage....
i really need mms to work, without having to enable data for web. just 3G for mms only...coz i can not text sms to other operator, must use mms. sms is locked inter operator only
perhaps this might help u
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044575
thanx man!
unfortunately, i tried that in my step 6 above
"6. i set up only 1 APN for mms... it doesnt work"
it won`t connect. saying data service unavailable... the only way i can get mms to work is by "fishing" 3G data using 2 APN, and then delete APN for internet, leaving MMS alone. still, after i reboot, i get data service unavailable and have to "fish" again.

i assumed that u followed the instructions word by word rite?
personally, i'm not using 3G connection, i only use 2G and my service operator won't charge any excess fee if i leave my connection on..so i can't really help much
i just happen to saw that thread and i thought that might do some help to u..
Yup
Thanks. I really appreciate it. I can not use 2g here in japan. All network services are in 3g. No more 2g.
Oot a bit, it was quiet amazing for me, as a foreigner, in sendai that during the earthquake, 3g data service are fully operasional at full speed eventhough we hno gas water and all.
Anyway, I finally found the answer.
I installed quick settings from market (they have several app with that name, i use the one by sergej shafarenka). Use it to disable mobile data.get mms, with not 3g internet.
it wasnt my idea too to be honest. Someone post it in an old thread for samsung galaxy. I ran in to it accidentally today. Fiuuuhhhh...now I would not have to worry anymore

Cricket MMS Fix? Need help Testing

Well long story short i jumped to cricket. I Flashed over the razr, guy who guaranteed work, even though now i feel fully comfortable doing it myself.
Here is the problem, I need to get MMS working on the stock messaging app, I have messaging working on an app the guy who flashed my phone installed for sending/receiving picture message, it is a very old out of date version of the stock messaging app with a few tweaks.
Heres the question, i remember the Hero guys hard coding the APNs to connect to the cricket servers into the stock messaging app, but this was a Sense rom back around 2.1 updates i was wondering if that was possible to do with our Messaging app to fix the problem?
I have attached the two messaging apps stock and the one the flasher installed on my phone..witch frankly is terrible double notifications no were near matching the theme...
I will upload a logcat ASAP
I think i have a working solution...by that it is working for my phone Any other Cricket Users please help me test. trying to get a universal working mms on stock app.
Try this
1. Dial ##program & then enter the spc(all zero)
2. Go to the apn control then select apn config edit.
3. Then select the apn called ALU TEST SIM INTERNET. (You may have to change, ALU Test-SIM CBS as well)
4.Change These Settings.
Username=Your#@mycricket.com
Password=cricket
Server=wap.mycricket.com
MMSC=http://mms.mycricket.com/servlets/mms
MMS PORT =8080
MCC=310
MNC=004
Authentication Type= PAP or CHAP
APN type= defalut,mms,dun
5. Press menu then save.
Then Back out and go into 08 SMS/MMS settings, and change the following
Address for upload to online album = 111111
Maximum Message Size = 228800
Reset your phone, and try and send an MMS
Let me know if it works.

[Q] Need help with SlimRom MMS

I have an Evo 4g LTE with the latest flash of this ROM and I can not send any picture text. Text... text work fine however. I switched my phone service to Ting and they require that I edit the mmsc (I think it is) address from the factory sprint using ##3282#. I did that and then flashed the phone. I "searched this thread" for mms and this is the closet thing that I can find to the issue I am having (post #74)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40378959&highlight=mms#post40378959
There was also a mention of AOSP uses 3/4g to send the pics even when logged onto wifi, and only another AOSP flashed phone will get them.
What should I try and do to solve this? Should I do what's in the link and change the Mobile network type setting?
And if you're wondering I have not posted more than 10x's so that's why I'm asking here instead of in the development thread
Use go sms... That's what everyone has said in those threads... Good luck!

Some roms are setup to send mms over wifi, but most require mobile data to be enabled like you said. I would try that first. If it still doesn't work, I've fixed it before by installing Handcent, setting it as the default mms app (inside Handcent settings somewhere), sending a few mms with that app, then uninstalling and going back to the stock messaging app. Mms worked as expected after that.

Okay, thanks guys
Well I dl go sms pro but it did not transfer my contact list, when I try and add a contact it does not save it and it does not send a reg text or mms. I can't find a settings menu either. I've searched for a how to guide here, android forums and google but can't find a dummy guide. What do I need to do?
