MMS on ICS issues - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Nothing wrong with that, but by quoting my post you make it sound like Im spreading false information, which is not the case.

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.
Edit: ssm only works over 3G

Running TSM Res with ICS theme, and my phone works like a dream...but having already tested (tasted?) ICS, I want more.

Lol you can always switch to a CRAPPLE IPHONE and NOT have the ability to change ANYTHING

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

Thats a problem with the GB leak all the roms are based on. No fix. I just make sure to check voice mail if I miss a call. A lot of people are using Google Voice - solves the problem.
The USB issue is kernel related and has been fixed in almost all of the newer kernels.

ANSWERED!Q&a about miui and eclipse v2.2

I am running a Milestone X2 and up until recently have had no wifi on any custom rom. Since the new soak test Eclipse v2.2 uses the new /418 kernal and now wifi works. Is it possible to take this and move it to MIUI?
No & miui update is stalled big time.
skwoodwiva, thank you for such an easy answer. I love MIUI it is my favorate ROM, but I would like wifi to work .
eclipse mms?
What's up people, quick question about the eclipse2.2 on milestone x2. However first allow me to respect XDA community, I've been though alot in the background with you guys. Then respect to Nitro for eclipse, it's amazing! My question is about the mms on the 2.2, will there be an update to fix it or is it a sacrafice I'm gonna have to eat? This is the first Rom I have 'noobly' been able to use and if I have to give up sending pics or long messages I'll do it before I go back to slow, laggy stock. I did read that it wouldn't work but then I read people's replies that they have no problems. I could've done something off with the install but everything else works perfectly. Thanks to anyone with feedback or help, it's truly appreciated!
Yes, unfortunately MMS will not work if you are not with Verizon. Nitro uses Verizon's basebase information and strips other stuff so that data can work. This does not work for me so I have no idea how to actually make it work. I have nTelos Wireless which is a small carrier based out of VA and my MMS does not work.
I hope this helps.
I am also on NTelos in Norfolk,VA, so no hope for us huh? Well that blows. I've had so many stressful nights thinking I've lost my phone doing all this flashing so I'm trying to be content, but I've read so many posts and you guys always get me out of whatever grave I dig. I think now that I have the sbf process down I might try for CM7 or miui tonight. Thanks for the confirmation twobrare, I've read allot of your posts too so I def believe you.

Ok, I too have ntelos in lynchburg, luckily there was a guy in a phone store that hooked me up for 10$then I still had to use gosmspro for the pix to send properly. He told me he spent months to find what he found online, but he found it...online. he also password protected it so when I transferred the custom app that I bought off him it won't install when I put it back on the SD card. Through my backups that I moved from my computer was the only way to get it to work TB will no longer back up and restore the app. Any sugestionsto get the mms working would be great. Or if someone could tell me how to pull the info off of a phone I still have my desirefrom ntelos. I would post here if I found a fix...thanx.

I found an easier solution for the mms fix, and it's really easy if your on the evo 4g. Download the reloaded.44 magnum ROM somehow it has the right apks or something to get the mms to work right off the bat you don't need to do anything else. But if your like me, you still flash. So, download 4 shared on the market (free) search for, apn manager ,download to phone, go into apn manager and hurt the backup button, it creates a file on your sd card and saves it there, flash another ROM you like, again ,4shared, apn manager, open apn manager hit the restore button only, done. Works every time for me, good luck.

[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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Strange Issue - Texting only works on TW roms now :(

Been flashing roms for years across many devices and this is the first time I have encountered such a bizarre issue. As the title says I could only text on touch whiz based roms. Aosp roms of any kind (CM,AOKP, Gummy, Slim, any) text messages all fail no matter what sms app I use.
How to fix - (You are responsible for your device. I am not responsible for ANYTHING if you choose to continue)
Here is the DreamFX Official Unofficial fix credits to lacoursiere18's first build that is considered to be the magic build to fix our SMS issue permanently. The funny thing is that texting doesn't even work in his first build but something with that is the magic sauce to fix our phones. Follow the below directions.
1.) Wipe everything raw (i wipe everything but external sd, but others have reported not wiping internal and this working)
2.) Flash 4.4.2 TW Wip Build 1 (link below)
3.) Boot up, skip setup screens, and try to send a few texts. They will fail every time as texting is broke in this build (but this is how the magic happens)
4.) Reboot, maybe try and send a few more texts again (again they will fail)
5.) Reboot into recovery and wipe everything raw
6.) Flash latest CM11 or any other AOSP rom (you can also restore a nandroid of aosp and texting will now work)
7.) Reboot and Profit!

If this didn't work for you then you may have a different issue at hand. Try replacing your sim and/or odining back to stock to see if that fixes your issue. This fix only fixes texting working on TW but not AOSP.
Fixed see above

Apparently this problem is localized to this area. There are others with the same problem with other devices on Verizon.

I thought I was going nuts. So your having the issue too? If you find a resolution let me know please. I have contacts for Verizon I can get a hold of that are high up in the chain. But I can't just tell them texting works in tw but not aosp.
Yeah I have been having issues since the 20th. The only fix I will do is switching to CDMA only, but that is an unreasonable fix to this problem. Or switching to crap touchwiz. Keep us posted

Another fix is cycling airplane mode for every sent text. It works most of the time for me. I'm calling Verizon later.

Did either you tried flashing the rom before the 20th? Especially the audio mod by Sbrissen?

I have not updated the nightly since then because its working beautifully.
PS I'm in the Washington county, PA. 412 area code Haven't had any texting issues.
If need be, I can always make a backup of my current system and update to a nightly and see if the texting is broken.

I can't even use older aosp builds now. Your County is not really in the affected area.
I am in DMV area, just south of you. I started having this issue too. I called Verizon and they offered me a new phone but I am out of warranty.
The lates 3/12 CM Nightly seems to be working, I will Dload it and install and report ASAP.

Because many people on that thread are saying that it does.
Some people are saying that this has been fixed in VA. Anyone in central pa want to try today?
I have been doing extensive testing to try and figure out why us folks in central pa lost texting on aosp roms on 2/20. I downloaded an app called android system info. I launched it on TW(where texting always works) and CM(where texting doesn't), Went to telephony tab and found something rather interesting. The network operator name for TW rom is Verizon Wireless and for CM it's Roaming Indicator Is Off. If you change the ERI file or use an xposed module to removing this from the notification area which it does but never does it change the hardcoded network operator name.
I am thinking for some reason on Central PA towers that they are enforcing the Network Operator name to be correct or it won't allow texts to go through. The reason I know Verizon is actually getting the texts I send because I sent like 15 in a row they all in CM act like they didn't send. I immediately restored back to TW and I received all 15. Something in the CM code (why only for Central PA) which seems like its the network operator or some other similar setting needs to be changed to work.
I am having the same issue in central Virginia sms only works on tw rom but mms works fine on aosp so if I select the same person twice it converts to mms and sends fine.
