aosp sms/mms - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Maybe their isn't a reason for this question but has anyone been using aosp MLS on the thunderbilt. I really don't care for htcs messages app and was wondering if i could pull the aosp aol from my wife's fascinate and use it. If knowpne knows ill just give it a shot.

I tried it and MMS stopped working, when I switched back to the HTC messaging app, MMS worked again. It could just be me though.

I use the vanilla mms app, and it works great for me. Check out this thread, and follow his instructions.

[Q] Anyone know of any work around for MMS

Hey guys, I really want to use JT's froyo aosp as my daily driver, but I can't do without MMS, anyone know a way to have MMS's sent to my e-mail or something similar so that I can view them in that format instead of through the mms app on the phone? In the same fashion, know of a way I can send from an email or something that would get received as an MMS?
I really doubt there's a way to do this for free, but if there is, I'd love to know
go onto your phone and email a phone # to try it. Seems like i remember doing that before. You have to put the 1 in front of area code though.
you can send emails to [email protected] (assuming you have verzion). For example if the persons number was 123-456-7890. You can email [email protected] and they will get it as a mms.

As far as receiving them, you could just have your friends e-mail pics or whatever to you.
Just got around to reading this now, thank you guys. Anyone know of a more solid fix for the mms? could I possibly make it so mms sent to my phone is sent to my email ?

That won't work in AOSP.
Edit: I just saw you live in Hinesville. You military?
Yes I'm Army, And yes it does work in AOSP, i am running Vinilla froyo AOSP v0.9.3 with a voodoo rom and i was using handcent this morning so what doesnt work? handcent ot mms? if it's mms than there is always the stock mms zip through CWR but i havent tried that yet to see if it works with AOSP or not.

I know the sms portion of handcent works but mms won't. I wish it did, I liked the AOSP rom. It's speedy.
In the sent message settings on handcent it has an option to convert to mms but not until it is 3 or more messages long and i really don't feel like typing that ling to see if it works, but now it looks like i am going to have to put some time and energy into investigating this. thanks for the info, since i have a pretty slow afternoon today i will see if i can find anything out with it. i will post results of my tests here, if i cant get to it before the weekend i will definitely work on it then. You have peaked my curiosity sir, so now i must investigate, I'm kinda OCD that way. any here i thought i was gonna get bored today.
I think it has something to do with how Samsung ties everything to touchwiz. None of the roms without touchwiz - MIUI, CM or AOSP - seem to have working mms.

MMS on ICS issues

Can someone please teach me the proper way to get my mms working on ics (Jt)? I know I need to edit the build.prop, but I am not exactly sure what numbers I need to change. Thanks in advance

You can't on the fascinate...the mezmerize folks can get it working by editing the build prob, but not us fascinate users from my understanding.
After running gummy for fassy, and aokp, I can't get mms/or SMS to work properly on aokp. On aokp, mms won't work at all, SMS works unless u add a ♪ or ♥, then it force closes. On gummy SMS is perfect , mms works receiving. Question is, I can send mms messages longer than 160 characters, but it refuses to send a picture. Anyone have a similar problem? Or know what options I have?

Unfortunately I was never able to get MMS to work on any of the ICS ROMS, even after starting from scratch several times, and trying the setDNS fix, etc. Not sure why, but my phone just doesn't like ICS yet...this makes me sad. I sure did love the way my phone worked on AOKP, no wifi issues at all. Oh well.

I did try the set dns fix, with no luck. I can't claim I did everything 100% correct, I was rushing because my better half was frustrated with me as I was spending way too much time working on fixing my phone. She was right, of course!
I may give AOKP another run sometime soon, I really really like that ROM.
Yeah if you mess with it again let us know if it works... It should if you set the numbers right
Getting mms to work makes ics that much better, it's great

Give AOKP Build 22 Test a try...that fixed MMS for me.
I've been battling this issue for a while. What works for me is ....start mms...then choose FILE/PICS.....choose your pic from gallery..... if it doesn't send right away, I close mms, toggle AIRPLANE MODE , then reopen mms....seams to work for me. I also switched to CHOMP APP.

It's funny you mention that...I will be eligible for a new device in the fall, just around the time the new iPhone and maybe the new SGSIII, and possibly another Nexus device are available as well. I've been an iPod user since the original, and have no issues with Apple or iTunes. But I still can't see myself getting an iPhone, regardless of how nice it is with the next version. I can't imagine not being able to change my stuff the way I want to. With an iPod, I don't care, I want it to just play music and manage my playlists, which they do very well.
Hi everyone, I'm lpt2569...and I'm a Flashing/Android addict.
Yes lol I also use an iPod for music. This was before I got my fascinate. I used iPod a lot for music. However now that I am figuring more and more how to do things with my phone ( music , radio and podcasts ) I use the iPod less and less. Battery is no longer issue since I have 2 extended and one extra stock ! Lol : D

Thanx everyone for some helpful ideas. I'm goin crazy over here trying to get my mms to work. I've flashed soo many ROMs lately, I'm getting cross-eyed. The only way that my mms works is using THS 6.1, works flawlessly. If I flash gummy or build 22 I have no luck. I even copied the mms.apk from 6.1 and i still have no luck. Is it that the ICS builds just work different on different fascinates?
update: running build 22, and coping 6.1 mms.apk to /system/app folder, and setdns.....its now working
I flashed AOKP Build 25, and still can't get MMS to work. There must be something funky with my Fascinate, or I've done something funky in my flashes (most likely scenario). I've tried every workaround, and every way of flashing, and MMS never works. Oh well. ICS is really nice on this phone. Just wish I could get f&$!ing MMS to work! I'm going to try build 26, released today, and see how it goes.
miui ics 2.3.2
mms didnt work... used this setdns trick... mms works perfect
mms works perfectly on THS.. build 6.5

Stock ICS messaging on Evo3d?

I've been trying like crazy to get the stock ICS mms.apk to work on Sense 3.6. So far, mms will not work, which to me makes it worthless. Does anyone have and information on what it takes to get mms working?
Normal texts go through without issue but pics hang, saying "sending", and never do.
I've tried uninstalling the Sense messaging app and installing the ICS one. I've installed the ICS one as an update to the Sense version. It all ends the same. No mms. Even tried a deodex one from the Sprint Nexus hoping that would work.
Any ideas?

Are you rooted? If not, try a factory reset. You can also call Sprint and have them "refresh" your device.

Whoops, forgot that info. Yes, rooted hboot 1.4 s-off running MeanROM ICS 2.4. I don't think a device "refresh" will help at all. Mms is working perfectly when I restore the Sense messaging app. It's strictly in the vanilla ICS app that mms won't send. I don't know if there's something the app calls to for mms that the Sense version doesn't or what. I've read quite a bit where this has been tried and hasn't been figured out yet. Just hoping to hit on something with it and get it working.
I'm using the mms.apk from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1640576
I've also tried multiple others from Galaxy Nexus ROMs with no luck. I'm not looking to go AOSP either, just want this one app
Not that this helps much, but I've read others have issues with that app too. They'll get no texts and then a flood of them will come in when they switch back to the sense based app.

Correct.
The rest of your question (the part not quoted above) is actually a bit off-topic for a ROM support or development thread and I prefer not to go off topic, but that being said, it seems that T-Mobile may not get the Sense 5.5 until the upcoming android 4.4 KitKat update.
Now, I ask that we all please keep speculation and questions about release dates out of these threads. Thank you

I could make it work but would have to revert back to the sense 5 lockscreen. Not a big deal for some, for others not preferable when its a sense 5.5 rom. So the best answer I can give you is I have no immediate plans.
Is it possible to incorporate the theme chooser or is it limited to cm based rims?

Problem with basic WIFI
First thank you so much for the development. This ROM is exactly what I was looking for. I just traded a G2 for the HTC One so I do not have a ton of experience with this device. I am having very inconsistent results with WIFI. WIFI calling seems to be fine; however, WIFI itself rarely gives the network layer to the phone even when I have an excellent signal. I have tried disabling WIFI calling to see if that is the culprit and the same behavior continues. Again this is a new phone to me so is this a consistent issue with the HTC One? The WIFI antenna itself is significantly better than my last phone's - so it's not an issue with a weak signal. Any help or feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Update: I've been reading more and the general consensus seems to be to do a factory reset. I did a reset before coming to this rom but I guess I'll try again. Certainly this is not related to the ROM based on what I've been reading. Thanks again for the time and effort Behold_this.

You might try rebooting your router/modem, every so often mine gets a little finicky
I've searched and cant really find anything about this, but my HTC Email app will randomly quit working. I can open it fine, but it wont let me switch between my Outlook account or my work email. Sometimes I can get it to open emails, but I cant reply to them. The send button just blinks, nothing happens. I've wiped and reloaded, cleared data and cache for the email app, nothing. Seems very odd.
Stock Group MMS not working, sends blank message
So I flashed this ROM a few days ago and it has been working superbly. Super fast and overall plain awesome.
I was sending a group MMS text yesterday using the stock Messaging App with Group MMS checked ON in the settings, and people kept telling me that I was sending them blank messages. My friends are iPhone users but my group texting used to work for everyone before. Any thoughts guys?

Unfortunately this appears to be a bug in the 3.62 base as it has appeared on other ROMs built from it. I certainly can't do anything to fix it, I'm sorry to say. If I come across a workaround or any solution I will post back but for now unfortunately I would suggest you use a different app, or avoid group texts. The new Hangouts app is a great supplement to the stock messaging app now, as it supports full SMS capabilities. As for the stock app there's not anything I can do atm.
I don't know why, but my SIM contacts keep disappearing and appearing at random.
The only mod I have is Bulletproof Kernel, 1% battery, and purexaudio.

Aww that is a bummer. Do you think there is a way to roll back the stock Messaging App to the 4.2.2 version? Would that even work as a fix? Maybe someone has an apk out there I could install and test it out...

You can try the stock messaging app from the tmobile 3.24 release. It should still work. I have come across many sense 5 apps from the Android 4.3 build that work on sense 5.5/Android 4.3 builds, just haven't tried messaging.
The "hold back arrow to kill app" feature, is that a mod or part of the stock ROM? If a mod, is there a way to install it to other ROMs?

This is not related to phone's firmware, software, or hardware. This is due to T-Mobile's crappy network. This started happening to me on 4.1.2, I upgraded to 4.3 and still the same issue. Happened out of the blue, started in October and hasn't been fixed since. It was working perfectly fine since I've had the phone on launch day. Please refer to this thread, there are some Executive Response email addresses you can reach out to on Page 2...you can see some of our templates there.
This is not just affecting Android phones, but Windows phones and iPhones as well.
http://support.t-mobile.com/thread/55846
I have the same username on there. I was reached out to by the Executive Response team. I will be in touch with a "best of best" advanced tech specialist who will get the details from me, and report that information to the networking engineers at T-Mobile to fix this horrible, annoying issue.
I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but I installed Textra and people are telling me that they are now getting my group MMS. So I am under the impression that the issue is actually with the stock messaging app. I am not sure if there are other issues with the network in your area.

I believe you are incorrect and that it's network related. Like I said, it was working flawlessly for 6 months and the issue started occurring out of nowhere in October, which is when it started happening for a bunch of other people on other phones, not just the HTC One. I had not updated the stock 4.1.2 OS. Please read that thread I posted above on T-Mobile's Support forums. When using other apps, it most likely uses different server configurations and doesn't necessarily travel through T-Mobile's servers. While it might be working now through a third-party app...a stock experience should never be faulty.

That is strange. Although, I'm having a weird problem where mms doesn't even work at all on the stock app, but it works fine on Google messages or any other 3rd party apps. Which sucks because I like the stock app but I can't use it since I can't send or receive pics or group messages. T-Mobile literally had to open a trouble ticket in my account and are trying to figure it out

Maybe it has something to do with TMobile agreement with Google regarding RCS.

I would have thought that could be it, and maybe it is, but I've had the phone for well over a month and it hasn't worked from day one. Supposedly T-Mobile is going to contact me on Tuesday after the "engineer's look at the provisioning" on my account
Aaaaaand just like that, RCS is working again for me in stock messaging app wtf?
