Are there any ROMS out there that have working MMS ? I have tried a number of them and no luck. I know these are labors of love but it's such a vital part of the phone itself to be left on the back burner. The only ones it works for me are 2.1 v's 1,2 & 3 every other ROM i tried it's always the same thing, no soft button lights, no trackball lights, no MMS. I've tried every fix offered under the sun & it just doesn't work, OR it might work, 18 hours later.
From what i have read it looks like half the people have no problems & have are in the same boat as me.
any suggestions?
thanks
I use sense-able and have no issues sending or recieving mms msgs
the MMS fix is quite simple. What ROM are you using? I know that in the EE thread there is a link to ivans-apns and instructions on removing your current APNs and installing the APNs from ivans rom.
I have working MMS on every rom I have tried except for one .....
Thanks for the 411 and I must say that name gave me the first laugh for the day "Cornbreadfarts"
Fn Funny dude.
well last night i loaded ZenEXP-Eris_Rev6-fixed_mak, i hadn't seen that one before and it looked very stylish. The overclocking isn't so important but i like the apps2sd. Followed all the instructions including flashing the mms fix also cited in the thread. I should have tried it our right away but i began to get comfy with the rom then when i remembered, bingo, same thing. Attaching even a very small photo gets a generic network error, it'll try 4 times to send it then stop. With other roms, sometimes 18 hours later it'll suddenly go through.
before this I'd tried evil eris, lightning, Dvanilla2fast, vanilladroidv1, fresh 2.1 & aloysius, all with the same result.
every rom has their own little quirks, evileris would seem to stall for a while then suddenly go through all the motions of your frantic thumb presses while u thought there was something wrong. I tried all the solutions offered also with the apn's in the evileris thread but still the same thing
the zenexp seems to restart itself at random times and does not come out of landscape mode after taking a pic. I have to press settings, then back & it resets itself
I like the variety in the various roms and the little extra bells & whistles that the developers add it's just this 1 issue really for me. I don't make a lot of calls and i mostly text back & forth to my daughter in NYC. Recently a loved pet of 13years died but beforehand i couldn't send her any pics of the cat in the days previous.
I guess i'll look for this sense-able and try that. I just don't get it though, we are all using an eris, it should either work or be broken for everyone right ?

ZenEXP-Eris doesn't restart itself at random times out-of-the-box, you must have installed or modified something that's causing that error. My releases go through a somewhat rigorous beta testing before they see the light of day - at least since Rev5 - and we've only seen minor issues upon release of them.
As for the accelerometer (the "not coming out of landscape" issue you refer to), that's a known bug in Rev6 that was found after releasing it. It is fixed in Rev7.
At the begining of my ZenEXP-Eris thread, I state that you should read the entire thread twice before flashing. This is so you know what you're doing, what to expect, how to make things work properly and what bugs are present in the ROM. Obviously you didn't read my entire thread, or you would have found the MMS-Fix, which is located about 6 lines below the ROM download
On a side note, Rev7 includes the MMS Fix built right into the ROM, no need to flash the MMS-Fix through Recovery like you do now for Rev5 and Rev6. You'll be able to enjoy Rev7 (hopefully) tomorrow (if not the next day).

Sorry, I thought I had been clear, I did read the whole thread and did dl & flash the mms fix zip u attached. I'm only reporting on the problems I'm having. This isn't a personal attack on you.
As I said, I understand these are labors of love and I wouldn't report something if it didn't happen. I have had 3 occasions where it restarted itself and all 3 times all I had installed was vignette, meebo, Google translate, shopper & barcode scanner.
Thank you for your reply

I'm sure it wasn't a personal attack, but I'm not sure why you're telling me that?
Anyway, if you installed the MMS fix, you should have working MMS. The MMS fix hasn't failed anyone that I know of and I used it myself on Rev5 and Rev6. Did you boot into the phone and set it up after flashing the ROM, but before install the MMS fix? The file the MMS fix installs gets overwritten during the first boot, which is why you need to reboot before installing it.
I don't use any of the apps you've installed, so I can't attest to their compatibility with ZenEXP-Eris. What I recommend you do is backup your data, go into Recovery and wipe data/cache/dalvik/ext, then re-install the latest release of Rev6, boot into ZenEXP-Eris and set your phone up, reboot into Recovery and install the MMS fix. Before installing any applications test it all out for a few hours, the proceed to install them one-by-one, leaving an hour or so in between installs until you (possibly) find what is causing the issue.
I'm really sorry to hear this issue persists for you but, as I mentioned earlier, you're the first to report such issues, thus the reason I suspect something else as the culprit
Feel free to PM me for one on one support if you need it.

edit: Also, regarding your softkey lights, they only turn on in dark areas. Hold your finger over the light sensor to the left of the earpiece speaker to see them light up. In ZenEXP-Eris the jogball LED doesn't function, but I have mapped notifications to the charging/power LED in the upper-right-hand corner of the Eris as an alternative, for now.

Hey,
There are several out there that work. Ivans are typically good to go out of the box and most if not all the Sprint based roms will be good to go by using the apn fix. Its a trial and error thing just find a rom that you like and give the thread a good read.
Most all the posted roms now have an mms "fix" or are good out of the box. I know it gets a bit disheartening flashing, setting up, wiping, flashing etc...lol...but thats the joy of a rooted handset...trial and error till you find a rom and dev you like well enough to stick with.

I actually did exactly what you said. I downloaded all the files first then i formatted the sd card, toggled, loaded the rom & the mms fix, wiped the handset (reset & dalvik), flashed the rom. When it loaded I set up the phone, power cycled & booted to recovery, flashed the mms fix and restarted the phone.
I wanted to make sure that apps2sd was working to i went to the market & installed vignette (excellent photo app) and the usual google made apps like translate, shopper etc
it was after all this I remembered the mms, so i tried it & nada.
I'm about to reformat & wipe now so i'll see what happens
Ever since upgrading to 2.2 I have lost the ability to connect to my schools WPA2-Enterprise network. I've searched and found that this was an issue introduced in 2.2 (I could connect fine on 2.1) and has been fixed in 2.3. I've tried all the solutions I've found online and zero have worked. These include using apps from the market such as Wifi Advanced Configuring and replacing the wpa_supplicant file in /system/bin/ with the version from 2.1
The werid thing is, after completely wiping and flashing a new rom, it will connect fine the first time but not after that so im thinking it has something to do with certificate/credential storage?
The network I'm trying to connect to is WPA2-Enterprise, authenticated via PEAP and MSCHAPV2
Can anyone point me in the right direction? What system files might affect this? Can I try replacing them from a 2.3 build?
Any ideas/input would be appreciated
Ummm.....I connect the same exact way with the same exact settings at my job and I haven't experinced any issues while running 2.2. Which rom are you using?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Its happend on all of the 2.2 roms I've tried, (AOSP, MIUI, CM6, TW).
I've had the same issue. The odd thing is that some days I actually get it to link up on the first try to the same router, but other days I do all the various steps that you can find while googling for answers and never get to successfully connect.
Almost makes going back to 2.1 seem worthwhile...
Flashed a new rom today and connected to the network fine first try like usual. Cycled wifi and it wont connect again.
Anyone know where it stores wifi credentials? I'm thinking if I can clear them each time I want to connect it should work...
I'm in the same boat...although, my thread is on the second page with no replies. I am also unable to connect to enterprise wifi on campus...drives me nuts. I've spent countless hours trying to figure this out. I had no problems with enterprise wifi on 2.1...I wonder which file I could flash from 2.1 to make it work, I'm sure someone knows.
Looks like your school now has an allow list on their wifi

Are you saying my school restricts Android 2.2 users from using thier wifi while allowing 2.1 users to use it? I'm not sure what you mean...
Im saying maybe they needed more bandwidth so they put a block/allow list on their wifi. Nothing to do with your froyo. Or android. Could be they are ALLOWING ONLY KNOWN IP ADDRESSES now..(Since you dont know what an allow list is) Happened to me at work. And i dont have 3g at work so it sucks.
Only other explanation is that you screwed up during flashing. I was giving you the benefit of the doubt. I mean.......my wifi works just fine and ive flashed every rom in the dev section...currently on ec01 and wifi wpa2/enterprise is flawlessly working.

I'm fairly certain its not either of these issues, considering after I flash a rom I can connect to my schools network fine the first time. Its the subsequent connections that are giving me issues.
Here's a link to the issue on googles open source android project.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1386
It basically says that it was an issue not present in 2.1, introduced in 2.2 and fixed in 2.3. I'm wondering if anyone knows what system files might affect this (wifi driver, certificates, deeper kernel issues?) and if anyone can point me in the right direction so I can start trying to pull files from other builds and see if it fixes my issues. I'm a complete noob but willing to give it a shot.
Can anyone let me know if ED01 or the official froyo rom has a fix for this wifi problem..??

As I'm sure you know by now, none of the froyo updates fix the wifi problem. However, I can report flashing JT's CM7 build did fix the issue and it truly is an awesome rom if you can stand a few features missing.
As of now, there seems to be no fix for froyo builds

That is nothing short of a disappointment...until there is a fix, I'll just have to keep a close eye on my data usage.
I am having same sorts of problems on all wifi since upgrade to 2.2 froyo pushed out to me by VZ when I changed out a "bad" handset. VZ no help, referred me to Samsung; they have acknowledge problem but have no fix, or eta....
ever since gingerbread I haven't been able to send out MMS messages; however, I recieve them just fine.
Im unlocked, rooted, alien v4 with fauxs 1.3 kernel.
Im using stock apn settings, and I've even gone into message center(*#*#4636#*#*) to try fixing it but it doesn't do anything.
I've had this problem since I upgraded to gingerbread when I was still stock.
I use GoSMS, but the stock sms has this problem as well.
Anyone have any ideas as to what I can do to fix this? I've done full wipes at least 10 times since gb.
Update:
Found out the source of the problem.
It was the GoSMS app I use which I've used since I installed gingerbread.
The problem was I had preserve image resolution checked on, and had the max size set to 1.2mb for any MMS. So I assume my MMS was timing out because it was trying to send 1.2mb.
I changed the max size to 300kb, and now everything is sending.
Never thought that would've been the source of the issue. I guess poking around helped a lot.

have you tried installing the froyo fruit cake from samcripp? if it's a gingerbread problem, that might fix it.
How would that help at all after I've already flashed multiple times?

you stated the problem started with gingerbread, if it's a problem with gingerbread the froyo framework might fix it.
other than that, you could try to flash a different radio. which one are you using right now?
Im currently using 1.77.30p.
And I did that fruitcake when I did my unlock a few months back.

have you tried the 1.97.00R leaked radio here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=112896
it has the one bar issue, but you can find the fix here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1222426
Whats good about that radio?
also, that link is gone.
Also, i noticed that my bar turns from Blue to White in the middle of sending an mms
Have you tried sending mms without the faux kernal installed on the phone?
Just thinking of ideas here.

Running cm7.2 drownings 8.9.2a kernel & reverted gps and see others have had trouble with sending/receiving mms. I've tried the fix of deleting the telephony files using root browser (/data/data/cm.android.providers.telephony/telephony), but can't find any other fixes. Does anyone have any other fix for this? Pleeeeease?
Was this ever fixed? Was it an isolated problem?
cm7 unable to send/receive mms
Well I still don't have a fix myself, so if you hear of anything other than what I've already tried, I'd love to hear!
Have you tried flashing the new CM7.2 RC1?
No I haven't. Hate to be a whimp about it, but I'd rather wait for a stable release. I like my phone to work
I am running Hyperdrive ROM rls 7. I have tried many things to get MMS picture messages to work on my phone again after they have stopped unexpectedly. I can send group MMS text messages however whenever I send a picture (no matter the size) it just continually loads and never sends. I have tried reinstalling various nandroid backups to no avail with fixing the problem. Could it be that i reinstall my textmessage data using titanium backup? does anyone have the stock messaging app apk? maybe reinstalling it would help, i really don't know at this point.

Are you connected to wifi? MANY people have reported issues both on stock and various ROMs with sending MMS while wifi is connected. Try disconnecting your wifi and see if they send. While connected to wifi, the MMS messages are supposed to trigger 4g connection which transmits the data via Verizon's network. In many phones/ROMs this doesn't work right. I'm not aware of an end-all resolution though.

What kind of mods do you have installed with Hyperdrive? You may have to switch to a different ROM or rooted stock ROM to re-test. I don't think it's broken in Scott's ROM, but could've been an app or mod that broke it.

I don't have any mods installed with Hyperdrive, only the ones that come with it. I have already tried restoring a nandroid backup i made right after I rooted but it doesn't work there either.

Maybe try a full wipe and clean install of a different ROM? If that doesn't work, I guess I would ODIN back to factory stock. If it doesn't work there you are all set to take to Verizon store and show them. You'd be eligible for a warranty swap, but I've never gone through that before, so I don't know how it completely works.
