i rooted a friends samsung vibrant last night and everything went perfectly. i installed this rom.
now, whenever anyone sends him a picture message, it says something about "a problem with resolution or size restriction."
i've searched xda and come up with people getting blurry mms messages and the fix is to install either the cm6 mms apk or one of a few available. searching on google, everyone has the problem with the iphone and their fix is a package available through cydia.
i've had him check his apn settings and they are the same as seen in post number 7 of this thread. i've had him try using handcent and chompsms instead of the default. i've had him ensure his mobile data is on. the problem still persists.
he can send picture messages just fine. he can receive normal texts just fine.
he really wanted an aosp rom. i stuck with 2.2 so the clockwork 2.5.1.2 backup/restore would work fine.
my questions are these:
should installing a new mms apk fix this issue? does he need different apn settings? should i install a different rom altogether? should i install a newer 2.3 rom? if so, how can i get clockwork 3 installed? (i couldn't find how to do that anywhere either).
sorry this post is so long. thanks for any help.
ended up using odin back to stock then rerooted and reflashed the rom. seems to be working now.

So am new to all this asop stuff but i followed BrwnSuperman's steps

to update from froyo comm romm 2.1 to JT's Vanilla Gingerbread and finally Miui 1.8.5. Now that im in Miui, everything works fine except my mms. I can only send outgoing messages but i get a force close every time am incoming message tries to come it (large or small). Is this a known issue or is there a fix for this? I reflashed it twice and even tried 1.7.29's mms.apk instead but to no avail. is there something i'm missing
Nevermind. I figured it out. I titanium restored my old txt data which has seemed to cause the problem, another fresh install with data wipe fixed it with the 1.8.12 update.
I'm running the latest CM9 beta along with the APN Fix.
I'm able to send mms messages fine, but whenever I receive one (like an image text), it prompts me to download the image instead of doing it automatically. Furthermore, when I try to download the image in the stock messaging app, it doesn't work. I then installed GO SMS, which does allow me to download the image (most of the time), but I'm still prompted to download it instead of it downloading automatically. This happens on both wifi and 3G.
What I've tried (with reboots after changing settings):
I've double and triple checked the APN settings and have even restored my APNs to default and then re-entered them.
I've also tried playing with different APN settings than whats in the fix.
I've toggled the auto-retrieve setting in the stock messaging app on and off.
I tried installing the black-themed mms app.
I've cleared app data on the stock messaging app and GO SMS
I've attempted to fix permissions, wipe dalvik, and wipe cache
I checked the mms size limits inside GO SMS settings
All of the above was unsuccessful. Each mms I receive still prompts me to download the image. When I click download it doesn't always work in GO SMS and doesn't work at all in the stock messaging app.
At this point, I think I'm going to wait until Joker releases a new build and see if that magically fixes it. If not, I'll probably have to wipe and do a clean install. I did a wipe between the last alpha and first beta build but have just been wiping dalvik/cache between beta builds.
Anyone have any other ideas / suggestions?
Thanks!
Try just using the first APN and deleting the other 2. That's all I've done and I can send and receive mms just fine using the stock app.

Thanks for the response... Just tried deleting the 'Production' and 'Internet' APNs and only leaving the CDMA one (the first one) and then rebooting. I'm still able to send mms but again when I receive one, it prompts me to download instead of just displaying the image automatically in the messaging app.
I feel like it has to be either a problem connecting / downloading from the mms service or there's just some setting somewhere that's causing it to prompt me to download before retrieving.
I also tried setting the APN Type to 'MMS' instead of 'mms', which allows me to click a little blue dot next to the APN... tho I'm not sure what that does (makes it the default?). However, when I did that, I lost the ability to send MMS, so I set it back to 'mms'.
I wasn't able to fix this issue without doing a clean install (wipe / etc). I ended up flashing the latest CM9 build (3.1) on top of the 0.2 build and the issue persisted. I then did a clean install of 3.1 and the issue is resolved. Images received via mms now automatically appear in my messaging app without prompting me to download manually.

[Q] Galaxy S2 resurrection remix ics v1.3 "Currently cant send your message error"
Sup people, this is my first post....I recently flashed the resurrection remix v1.3 ROM with siyah kernel v3.1 and have been experiencing a problem with sending sms messages regardless of messaging app.
When i type the message and hit send my phone keeps losing signal and displays the message :
"Currently cant send your message.It will be sent when the service becomes available".My mobile data is enabled but still no change. How can i solve this problem?
I tried flashing ROM and kernel again but the problem still persists. I am able to receive sms messages but cannot send.
Any help would be much appreciated thanks!
Problem solved

same error on 4.2.2
I have the same error. I noticed this once going to a 4.2.2 Revolt from Jelly verse. I then had baked.... Cm10 .all 4.2.2. Roms are giving me this grief. I've done everything from switching out 'bad' MMS.apk files.. Restoring APN backups with new .XML files for new APN.. Flashing over MMS fix.zip.. I've done it all and still no fix. Even downloaded goSMS and Handsceng SMs.. Applied the segtings aNd no fix. downgraded to Jelly verse... Magic.. Full MMS abilities. But.. I've had a taste of 4.2.2 and would rather dealwwith the pros until hopefully someone finds a fix for this small, yet annoying bug.
Thanks to everyone who already had put their effort into correcting this .

So I went back to Jelly verse (4.1.2) for the sole purpose of pulling the APN XML file while MMS worked. To my surprise.. The backup APN ( using the APN Backup and Restore program mentioned in many MMS fixes) compiled a list of 1346 apns. Saved it to my SD Card. At first.. It seemed promising as I upgraded back to slimbean(any 4.2.2 build for that matter) and downloaded APN B&R .. Gave it system permissions via /system/apps program.. Backed up APNs.. And laughed at the list of 8 APNs it had backed up. nonetheless.. I moved my XML from the 4.1.2 build to the APN folder created from the backup process. Went back to APN B&R and deleted APNs as many times before.. And restored APNs via XML document from 4.1.2 build with 1346 APNs. Rebooted.. Nothing... Flashed MMS fix.zip as stated from various different resources in trying to remedy this error. .. Nothing....

As relevent and/or helpful as that might be as far as a universal diagnosis is concerned, rather than user-to-user, phone-to-phone ,ROM to ROM and carrier to carrier... Whilein jjelly verse I did get prompted to update Samsung software. Considering all failed attempts I went ahead and accepted the Samsung update. Given from my post above.. Obviously this doesn't have any merit towards fixing the issue.... As I'm still not getting MMS data transfer via 4.2.2 ROM.
Any and all info on things I've done I just want to document if it means the betterment of finding and identifying this as a ROM/carrier/phone issue. If not all 3 or just a combination of the 2. Or maybe even a variable and/or file overlooked this entire time.

I rooted my phone and accidentally deleted the stock mms.apk and i couldnt recieve any messages, i downloaded an upgraded version of the stock mms.apk and i can send and recieve regular sms messages but i cant send or recieve pictures, can anyone help please
I had similar problem after accidentally deleted the calendar.apk, I did try copy this from another device (exactly model and android version) but no success to make the widget work again (no events shown).
I do recommend to reinstall the entire ROM - stock or custom.
I agree with MagusWRM.
I agree with MagusWRM. Re-install the ROM and if it’s still acting up call your Wireless provider and have them check to see if everything is right on their end.

I download handcent and it works... I can't flash a new ROM because there is no software compatible with my phone and there are no drivers for it either

i was having a problem with kitkat roms not being able to do mms. i could get sms and even have data but mms would not send or recieve. i finally went back to scratch and did 1 thing at a time til my mms would stop working. come to find out, it is busybox pro (stericson). if i used smart install in busybox pro (which i had been for most everything), then my mms would stop working. smart install is aggressive and it symlinks just about everything on your phone. just uninstalling busybox pro would not fix it as it had already altered whatever it was that stopped my mms from working and uninstalling it didnt revert it back right. lg flashtooling back to kitkat firmware is the only way i could get things back to stock. so doing the normal install in busybox pro only symlinks the essentials and this does not mess up my mms.
just posting this here in case anyone else is having kitkat mms issues and happen to be doing what i was doing also. hope this info helps someone out.
