Blurry MMS - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I been running Simply Honey 3.8 with no problems at all and everything works great. I have only one issue its the blurry MMS. I remember this from 2.2 which i still have the zip file i flashed, but wanted to get feedback b4 i flash cause SH is 2.3 not sure if that zip file will mess anything up since it was for 2.2 software. Any help will be appreciated.

DO NOT just flash anything, if you don't know what you're doing, it will either lead to frustration or a terrible brick.....in general, do not just flash files thinking it will go smooth because that is not the case.
Go to settings, about, what is your modem version? Also, have you messed with your network, sms, or call settings?

Kb5 and have not touched any setting in the phone, besides flashing the rom...

Its not gonna werk. Any flashable .zips from 2.2 generally will result in bootloops for breakfast if you try to flash them while running 2.3. Thats just IMHO, only one real way to find out though. Good luck!
*EDIT*
You could always try to push the Mms.apk alone if no one else seems to be experiencing it.

For some people since 2.2, open your sms app, go to settings and change the User Agent....some used Nokia or whichever one, but this worked really well when it worked for an individual.....try that and if it doesn't then we can find a modified sms app for you to use.

@Kawika no im def not tryin to find out im pretty sure its not gona work but i did try a mms apk from another 2.3 rom n no good also @crazy25000 i tried chomp & handcent sms n still retained the problem i just went into setting in the sms app n i do not see the user agent you are reffering to.

I would try to push the one from the original ROM. If no one else is experiencing the problem u r then its most likely just a bad DL or bad flash. Good luck!

Yea i have that mms fix but i used it on 2.2 the SH 3.8 is a 2.3 rom so dont think it would work....thanks for the effort....

well got tired of the blurry mms i ended up flashing back to simply galaxy 2.8 final everything back to normal no blurry mms issue....

I had the blurry mms problem, too. I tried a lot of things to fix it, what ended up working for me was installing handcent, then under handcent settings>application settings>default messaging applications select all(sms & mms). Then I froze the stock messaging app with titanium backup. No more blurry mms pics.

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
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
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

(Solved...sorta) is there an mms compression fix?

Edit: the main purpose was in hopes of just sending clear mms pics. I hoped a higher limit would solve the issue. As it is, its just in the 3.0 mms and if you have thunderbolt on a custom rom and fin all your mms pics are fuzzy/not clear, then extract a sense 2.1 mms from a stock ota rom and install it in Place of your sense 3.0 mms. It has cleared up the pics on 2 tbolts running the same rom. There is still compression but the pictures are sending full screen now an look great. Hope this helps.
Wanting to bump it up to 2mb or 5mb from the 1.2mb its at now. My friends pics are looking bad sending thru mms. Any ideas? I ha e an Evo and at 5mb limit my pica send to him full screen and clean but no matter what he does his always come out jagged or fuzzy.
this pisses me off so bad i send a pic and the quality gets destroyed
Yeah, is there a fix for this? Any ideas or solutions? I was told ever since I supposedly went to a sense ROM, my pics have been distorted. Maybe that could be a start....

And they do not work on the tbolt. We couldn't get it to send pics. Replacing the mms.apk w a stock gingerbread sense 2.1 mms.apk fixed the problem. Even though it is still limited the pics are clear now.
Solved!
That's true, it doesn't work, but I suspect it's being "blocked" (by VZW). I tried 5m, 2m, and 1.2m and I'd get the message "Content not accepted". Looking that up, I find this:
Error-content-notaccepted
The MM content was not accepted due to size, media type, copyrights or some other reason.

When it says "not accepted", that sure sounds like a server is what rejected it, not the phone itself.
It is the mms.apk in the ROM. I pulled a 2.1 mms and it works correctly. Not the 3.0 mms.

I can understand if Max quality is necessary but the issue was due to the 3.0 mms on the rom that the myth and mad96 are on. Its a great rom but would always send fuzzy mms. Swapped a stock mms and prob is solved.
How do you swap in a stock mms 2.1 apk? Is it just like installing a zip from sdcard or is there more to it?

Just find a stock sense 2.1 rom and extract the system/app/mms.apk. then w a file explorer, copy your current mms.apk from your current rom to SD as a backup. Replace w the extracted apk. Set permissions and reboot. Should be nice and clean

Ok thats simple enough then. thanks. Which sense 2.1 rom did you use? Anyone should work right
Honestly its been 6 months since we did this so it would be hard to say But any sense 2.1 mms.apk should do. Make sure whether you are deodexed or odexed. Most rooms are depdexed but you will need to make sure first.
If unclear, w root explorer (my personal choice) go to system/app and just look to see if there is an odex below Any apk. If not, grab you the latest deodexed ota. Download it (on wifi or 4g of course ), do not install it! Justclick the zip in root explorer and navigate to the system/app/mms.apk and extract. Then replace w my steps mentioned. The reboot should drop it in and the pics should look nice and clean.
Just remember odexed/deodexed. Sense 2.1 only, if you are only on a 2.1 rom. MAY work on hybrids as long as they were on 2.1 mms previously but can't guarantee.
Hope it helps!

Sorry to bother you again. I moved the Sense 2.1 mms.apk to the location you told me, but now the messages app is gone. I tried to install the new apk manually, but it keeps failing. Also the permissions are the first 2 at top row, the first one on bottom 2 rows right?

[Q] Wind Mobile Canada members

Hello, I would like to have a thread for Wind Mobile customers in Canada using the HTC amaze.
Specifically at this point I would like to know what ROM everyone is using and do they have mms working.
I have only been able to get mms working on NRG's Aug 6 ROM.
I would love a more AOSP ROM but am stuck if I want mms.
(also I have noticed the apn recommendations for Wind do NOT look correct in the thread for apn's as it suggests 1 apn for both internet and mms)
Please join this thread and share any experiences you have and I hope this helps others besides myself.
Especially since I think our phone is still great and I don't know of any reason to switch or upgrade at this point.
Have you tried the one APN even if it doesn't look right?

Thanks for reply and suggestion
To be honest I haven't tried in a long time and I did not try this morning when I was trying the Fourth Bar Infusion ROM.
I guess I have assumed that how I have the apn's on the NRG ROM is how they need to be as it works
However, I suppose it is possible that the apn's need to be different if the ROM is different or de-sensed.
Could this be?
Has anyone out there with Wind got mms to work on a ROM other than NRG's and if so, how did you do it.
May give it another try tonight if I have time.

Does anyone think that if I use the 1 apn for both internet and mms and it does NOT work on the NRG ROM it MAY work on a different ROM?
and or vice versa?
I'm not with wind, but I've had problems with certain roms not being able to send mms, but it was usually something screwy with the mms.apk. If I swapped it out for one that I had working from a different rom, I'd have no issues, but yeah, only one apn for both data and mms.
try swapping in an aosp mms.apk on your energy rom and see if it works. Extract it from fourth bar, or speed rom even. rename it to mms1 or whatever, that way you'll have both working to test back to back.

Do you mean that yes, you only 1 apn for internet and mms looks OK or it does NOT look OK?
I can try an AOSP mms apk and see if I can get it to work along with the original one in my NRG ROM.
I know I tried taking the mms apk from the NRG ROM and putting it on another ROM I tried and it would NOT work.
Thanks for ideas and I will continue to try things.
yeah, only one apn for both, they are set up so that anything mms related is set up through the one apn. The only time you'd need another is if you're swapping between sim card from a different carrier, for example I have a bell apn set up so if I want to swap in my work sim in my phone I'm ready to go with data and all.
What other roms have you tried? I've tried some and found mms to be an issue, esp. on some of the speed rom versions.

yup I have an amaze.
This mms.apk works for mms on my end, paste it in your current rom /system/app folder and if mms is working in your current rom mms.apk, then it should work for this one. If it does work, then copy your apn exactly as is in another rom, and paste this apk in the same folder, and it should work.

AOKP / Sprint / MMS issue

Hey I have team dirt's AOKP 3.5.2 flashed on to my phone. Whenever I receive an MMS, it just says downloading in my stock messenger application.
I downloaded gosms and they ended up coming in. Uninstalled gosms, same problem, redownloaded gosms and then I was able to download them.
Any ideas? I could just stick with gosms but i prefer the stock messaging app.
You need to change the apns to your carriers.

Sprint Apns
Does anyone know the correct APN setup for Sprint? I have looked all over, on this site and others, and nothing I have tried works.
I feel like I've done everything right, and followed many of Ramjet's guides, but am at a loss with this mms issue.
I'm running the latest version of cmb's PACMAN, and no matter what I do I cannot send/receive mms' without installing Go Sms. I've done clean, fresh installs, and nothing seems to work. Sometimes I can send/receive after a reboot, but it is very finicky and frustrating not being able to use the stock app...and I can't seem to let it go
Thanks to all the devs/contributors/members of this site for all the hard work put in so I can get the most out of my phone. Any help would be much appreciated.

I feel like I've done everything right, and followed many of Ramjet's guides, but am at a loss with this mms issue.
I'm running the latest version of cmb's PACMAN, and no matter what I do I cannot send/receive mms' without installing Go Sms. I've done clean, fresh installs, and nothing seems to work. Sometimes I can send/receive after a reboot, but it is very finicky and frustrating not being able to use the stock app...and I can't seem to let it go
Thanks to all the devs/contributors/members of this site for all the hard work put in so I can get the most out of my phone. Any help would be much appreciated.

If you downloaded the Sprint version, you shouldn't need to change the APNs. You may need to flash a sense rom to update profile/PRL. PRL changed the other day and it seems to go hand in hand with needing to update profile for mms.

Thank you good sir. I did update PRL a couple of days ago, but will give this a try again and report back.
Just to be clear, all I have to do is flash a Sense ROM, update profile/prl, and then just nandroid back and it will stick?
Thanks again.

Yes indeed. Just be sure to do profile as well.

Updated profile/prl, restored rom, and still no luck. Picture just sits there saying "Sending..."
I am at a complete loss here, because I don't see other people reporting the same thing, and I feel like I've had this problem since I started flashing 4.1/4.2 roms.
Is there anything else I could try? Why exactly does Go Sms work, but not the stock app? At work now, but will try another 4.2 rom and see if I get same results, just hate to leave pacman with all the options and its so smooth.

I believe go, chomp, and handcent all go through their own servers. I could be wrong though. I always use handcent because I hate having to type names in stock app. Much easier with check boxes. Other than maybe the settings in the messaging app for mms, I'm at a loss. I'd blame it on towers, but if it's only jellybean roms that can't be true.

apn mms

I tried all I knew to try before posting and have been at this for over a week. I have the straight talk s3 and its compatible with Verizon aosp ROMs and CWM and with that said, I have working MMS on all jb ROMs but when I flash a KitKat ROM it no longer works.
Things I have tried...
Taken the apn-conf.XML from the stock TW and replacing the kk conf.xml.
Taken the a conf.XML from the working jb also ROM and replacing the km one.
Tried the app APN backup and restore with no luck. And there is no way to manually enter the APN on the ST s3. Im stumped as it works fine with 4.3.. So I. Sure there is a fix I'm overlooking or don't know enough to fix. Thanks in advance.
Have you tried another SMS app that supports adding your own MMS settings? That's a common way to fix issues like this when flashing to another CDMA service or using roms for another phone...

Thanks for the reply.. yeah.. I have been using handcent but would really like to fix it to where I could use the stock messaging app and maybe hangouts. I'm new to this but I think the 3rd party app is fixing the problem I should be able to go in with a file browser and correct it, right? I still have a copy of the stock rom if there is a file I need from it and also aosp 4.3 roms the mms works if there is a file I could use from there. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to answer my question.
This rom has an APN Config feature: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2598410
Maybe you should see how they implement that to see if you can port it to the rom you are using.

Thanks.. Well I gave it a shot and the phone will not take or save any APN that you put in it. I'm guessing its a straight talk thing. But the thing is, I can flash AOKP jb 4.3 and the stock MMS app works fine. So that let's me know it can be done, I just don't know how. Lol
Nah, it's not anything specific to Straight Talk. I would try something like this next:

I've had to use that trick on some phones before at my shop.

Thanks I will give it a try! When I try and set the apns.. Voice dialer- open APN.. They will not stick but they will with a 3rd party app.. On some ROMs :/
****well I tried the method you posted above but kept getting this message.

Did you move the APN app into /system/app and reboot before you tried that?

That's was my fault.. Forgot to move to priv app.. However I did get it to restore and I rebooted and tried to send a pic and still stuck at sending. I was for sure that would have fixed it.
***** OK, I tried it several times with no luck. I even deleted the APN and lost signal for a few seconds and it picked back up after a few seconds. There has to be some settings else where in there..?? Than I turned around and installed a SMS app and entered the APN and was able to send a MMS. I'm stumped.
