I have been having issues with my MMS on my photon since I got it. When someone sends me an MMS it comes from the number 9000 with a link to the sprint pictures website like back in the pcs days. I can send MMS fine and it shows up inline like it should. I have tried everything I can think of to fix it including flashing different roms and the issue persists.
Any ideas?
Possible PRL/Profile update problem or just bad service right now.
It's does that in mine as well as my friends epic thinking sprint has the problem not the phone

My PRL and profile are up to date and it happens no matter what my service is like. My wifes evo shift is fine...
I was having a similar problem where I wasn't receiving mms. I called Sprint and they updated my profile and boom its all back to normal.

My daughter has the Epic it happened to her and me last week.
I cant send mms while roaming. It gives me a error that says I don't have a data connection. But I clearly do because I am posting this message while roaming. I checked all the settings I can find and they all show that roaming data is enabled. Any ideas?

If I understand this correctly, the fix to the following problem is to call Sprint to have them update my profile? I ask this because the last few times I have called Sprint regarding this issue they did not know what I was talking about:
All MMS text messages come from the number 9000, and prompt me to click on a link to view the picture on the Sprint picture mail site, instead of simply viewing the photo in the MMS message itself.
Thanks.

My friend got a TB and can't send or receive pictures via mms. He gets the exact same message as a poster on a different forum:
"I just wanted to throw this out there as I have not found a solution...
I've had my Thunderbolt for like a week and a half now and for the majority its been great. Starting about yesterday, I've been unable to send or receive MMS/picture messages.
If someone sends me one, I get a little note in my conversation that says "so and so" is trying to send a message and lets me choose download or delete. This seems new to me, I don't remember seeing this notification in my text convo. If I choose download, it shows a little icon with a clock in it, as its trying to download the picture. After about 5 minutes, I get a notification that it failed because of a generic network failure.
A similar thing happens if I try to send a message to someone with a picture in it. My regular texting works fine and I can go on the internet perfectly. I've tried sending messages with WiFi and/or Mobile Data on/off... doesn't seem to make a difference.
Called VZW last night and they took me through battery pulls, SIM card pulls, and whatnot... didn't fix the problem. They were checking things on their end but did not see an issue. The last woman I got gave me two options, 1, she could open a network tix for me or 2, I could go to store and do a phone swap as I'm in my converage period. I told her to put in the tix for now, and perhaps I'd swap this weekend.
Anyone have any idea what is going on?"
So far nobody has answered. He's using stock rom, and the stock messaging settings / handcent settings match the way they are set on my Evo. If anybody could help it would be greatly appreciated.
is it on 3G or 4G? MMS will not work unless your in data coverage
Does not work on 3g, 4g, or Wi-fi.
what about sending it through regular messaging? I couldn't tell if he is using Handcent or using regular messaging. How about uninstalling Handcent?
The problem persists with or without handcent.
Make sure the picture being sent is not too big. If this doesn't do it you may have to call Verizon about it. Going back a few years I had an issue with my dumb phone. Couldn't receive picks. They had to reset my account. Also some providers don't always send pic messages so well to verizon. Have your friend have some on on Verizon send him a pic.

Randomly this evening, my phone has decided that it no longer wants to send any MMS messages. I can send SMS messages just fine, but MMS messages do not go through. They sit for a while, and then it just says that the text message cannot be sent.
Anyone have any suggestions that don't involve factory resetting?

You have 2 options.
1)do master reset and retest it.
2) call your cell carrier.
I had a similar problem a few nights ago. All I had to do was reboot it.
That's all I need to do for a few random glitches.

Do you have data disabled? I noticed when data is disabled, mms do not go through..
Sent from my XT910 using Tapatalk
No, data was enabled. I was able to browse the internet and such, so I don't think it was a connectivity problem. But it's fixed now, so I guess it really doesn't matter.

Okay. When I said it was fixed that was actually a lie. It's started doing it again. I have no idea what caused it, but it will sometimes work and sometimes not. Any ideas anyone?

Will it be the APN settings problems?
In some country you have to set your mms APN manual
Mine does the same thing. A restart is only a temporary fix because it has done it again a day later or so. I have not found anything to fix it yet.
I am on 4g. Not on wifi. unlimited messages.

Try this on dialpad
*#*#4636#*#*
Wacth phone services
Then tap second right update buttom
It must be filled with Service Center Number, for sms/mms data. If you get 'update error', you may have a bug in system that prevents it from correctly setup of older sim cards (mostly cutted ones), if so, buy a new micro sim. It's cheap and solves a lot of small problems
Thanks, and if helps any way, share the learnin'

I tried this but every time I entered the code nothing popped up. But I think I've figured it out. It appears to only happen when I'm connected to a WiFi network. So I guess I just have to disconnect from WiFi if I want to send an MMS message.

I had the same issue, tried a number of things to fix it. Called Verizon and apparently it's a known issue that they expect to be fixed with the upcoming GB update. Other than that the only way I was able to workaround was installing Go SMS Pro, which sent MMS messages fine.
I figured out what the problem is! It stems back to the problem the Razr has with switching between 3G and 4G. In my house, I have to use WiFi because I live on the edge of a 4G service area. I get maybe one bar of 4G service, which without WiFi, pretty much refuses to do anything having to do with data. Apparently, even though WiFi is enabled, the MMS messages are NOT being transmitted over WiFi. So instead, it attempts to send them over 4G cellular data and fails because of the poor reception in my house. Switching the phone from CDMA/LTE to CDMA only before sending the messages (my signal reception jumps to 4 bars) allows it to send without failing.

Today I took some pictures of my son thru my wife's phone and sent them to myself and this was around 3pm and till this very moment I have yet to receive any of those photos I also tried resending them when I got home and I have yet to receive anything. Any one else experience experience something similar or no of a way to fix this?

I have had terrible luck worm MMS. They all show up but only a small percentage download. I have been in connect with Sprint multiple times but they have been generally worthless.

The problem is because all the MMS messages are sent through our crappy, slow 3g networks...
If you give it enough time, you will get it... There are currently methods to send MMS messages through wifi, but I don't think it's been perfected yet (I could be wrong). Your phone also needs to be rooted for this fix.
There are also mods where instead of 2MB limit, you can send mms messages up to 5MB's
the thing is even till this day i haven't received the pictures is there any way to re provision this perhaps dialing a code or something ?
It turns out I'm not receiving any messages at all neither SMS or mms

so as of now everything is normal up to this point getting both mms and sms turns out it was an app not playing fair (root call blocker)
Ive noticed that when sending certain sms messages, the messages will keep spooling and not send unless I delete and resend it. Seems to happen at random times, even with no signal it should still send when it gets a signal right ? Using the Handcent SMS
Same thing happens to me.
I had the exact same issue. I stopped using Handcent and the issue went away. I've never had this issue on any of my last 5 android devices. Really frustrating since I have used handcent as long as I can remember.
+1 - Yep, me too! Even using GVoice + Sprint integration, too!
Also, if I restart my phone all the texts will magically send. Anyone else find this to be the case?
I also noticed that I can't get voice to text to work. I speak, select the line that reflects what I said....and then nothing. It doesn't paste it in. Any one else?

i have this same issue with handcent as well
I used to always have issues with handcent. When I had the Hero none of the MMS would send. So since then I have been using Go SMS Pro.
I am using Go Sms and I have the same issue. It seems if I am receiving a text at the same time, mine won't send and I have to delete it and start over. Also, when I send an MMS, it will create drafts of the same thing that I have to remove. My voice to text on swiftkey won't work either. I will have to try it out on stock.

I was having the same problem and what I thought was happening was the phone was closing Handcent (multitasking issue) before the text sent. I don't currently have my EVO LTE to prove that this is the case.

How can you be so sure? I started experiencing this the day I got this phone.
I have the same issues. Unfortunately, the only time I actually get text on time and/or send text reliably is when I use Google voice. I hate Google voices SMS setup, its ugly, and you can't send attachments. Its a shame we have this very cool phone, that can't do the basic cell phone operations. However, I do agree that this issue could very well be a Sprint signal issue and not the fault of HTC.
I'd also like to add, this is my second EVOLTE and both had this issue. Also both phones were and is having problems receiving calls. My missed calls don't even register, so once again, I have to rely on Google voice to let me know I missed a call via email, even after my phone never rang.

I can 100% guarantee you that this is not the reason for this btw....it may be in some places the reason but it is NOT the main reason this is happening...
I know for a FACT there has been 0 work on the towers in my area and seen this same thing happen...
Ok, so for me this is only an issue with third party messaging apps.
I have been using the stock app now and haven't had the issue once.
Go back to Handcent sms, boom! issues again.

I have the same issue. I had the same issue briefly a few weeks ago; however, now it's happening only on Sprint's network. If I check "Roam Only" on Meanrom I'm able to place calls, and send/receive text messages just fine. It started happening again when I used the LazyPanda s-off. I asked Sprint to do an HLR reset, and I still have the same problem. I've updated the profile 7 times now.
Hi,
I have T-Mobile. Using an HTC One.
I belong to several MMS groups, where both iPhones and Android phones are involved. For about 6 months, group MMS was perfectly fine, never had an issue.
For the past month, whenever I send a message to the group, I have a 5% success rate of the message actually being displayed properly for everyone. Everyone keeps telling me my messages are blank. Or it will send multiple blanks. I keep getting sh*t from all of my friends telling me T-Mobile sucks and whatnot. "Get an iPhone, get Verizon." Very frustrating hearing this every damn day. It's really starting to piss me off.
Regular SMS is fine. And any messages sent to the group I can see perfectly fine as well. But sending messages isn't working right! Group MMS is very flakey using the stock app! I don't understand what's going on. T-Mobile doesn't seem very helpful.
Is this happening to anyone else? How do we resolve this? Does anyone work for T-Mobile here? This is getting out of hand.
This is NOT the phone. I have wiped it so many times, tried so many different ROMs. It was perfectly fine and started working improperly out of nowhere. No changes, nothing.
I am not the only one!

Apparently it's affecting all T-Mobile users and not just our device. See here for more info:
http://support.t-mobile.com/thread/57534?start=75&tstart=0
Same problem. This ALL started when I installed the new Hangouts and enabled SMS. Maybe it messed with something?
Anyway, here's something interesting i've found out.
I get a group MMS from multiple devices. When I send the group MMS, android phones "receive it" (on Tmobile/Att carriers), iPhones "reject it" (Tmobile/Att carriers), and WindowsPhones receive "blank" message. Weird.
I had a problem with picture messages. Checking the "delivery reports" under the mms settings makes this problem disappear for me. Try that!

WiFi calling shuts off the data radio which MMS needs to send messages. I've sent MMS while on WiFI and I will see my LTE signal turn on to send the message. Maybe WIFi calling completely kills the radio which won't allow a message to send.
