Since rooting my phone I have been unable to send or receive mms without having data truned on. I recently flashed miui and noticed there was a toggle to enable receiving mms even though data was turned off. It works great. I like miui but may switch back to unnamed or ICScrewD. Is the way to have this options with other roms, or is this just a rom specific feature?
Thanks

Its impossible to receive MMS with data off. I dont care what MIUI says. IMPOSSIBLE to receive data with it truly off. obviously in MIUI the toggle will selectively turn off data, and will turn it back on automatically to download a MMS message.

Rom specific. UNLESS, you try Tasker. I can't confirm it works, but if you already have the app, try it.
I was just able to set up a profile that would theoretically work. Upon receiving MMS, turn mobile data on, and for exit task, disable mobile data (or add in wait task action, then disable mobile data).

Thats what my had done, i had data off but could send and receive mms. It would turn on to grab the mms then turn off. That's miui is doing, but there is a toggle in the network settings to do this. I'll have to take a look at tasker when i try a different rom.
Hate to necro a thread, but did any viable solution surface over the years? This is, to this day, my main gripe with Android - dumb phone, since it doesn't even have a protocol written into base rom to distinguish ALL data and just MMS data.

As the topic's title suggests, the installation of this wonderful ROM disabeled mms functionality. In the conversation window the message status is Sending... Settings are correct, I checked them with my carrier. What could be wrong? This is the second installation of the same ROM, and I have the same problem again.

It's a problem with all ROM's based on Cyanogenmod 7. When using stock the phone automatically activates mobile data to send and recieve MMS. Cyanogenmod doesn't, its been listed on their bug-tracker so they are aware of it but nothing has been done yet.
To send MMS you have to turn mobile data on, and make sure your APN settings are correct

Try rebooting the phone then turn mobile data on, but make sure that wifi is off. Then resend the message. The log file won't mean much to me I'm afraid!
lol...people still use MMSs nowadays?
LOL, people still think sms and email are almighty? How do I send a picture to someone, that doesn't use email on his not-so-smart-phone?
Don't tell me I'm the only one with this problem??
Could a complete wipe out and reflash fix this problem? I also get FC when taking pictures with the camera, so I'm thinking about starting from scratch...
No, you're not the only one. I have the exact same problem. I am trying every possible setting for the mms APN, turned off and on the data communication, rebooted the phone again and again - no mms, send or receive.
I guess we'll have to keep on searching for a solution...
I'm gonna try reflash... Let you know if it works...
Reflashing didn't help, and I can't post it to the official theme, because I don't have enough posts....

maybe enable national roaming data. just in case your carrier roams on another carriers network.
what messaging app you using?
For those who really need/want 2.3.7 and
MMS working I can recommand StornMix V2.
I also tried several ROMs and I could not get
MMS working.
Unfortunately StornMix V2 has the following problems:
- sym-key on hardware keyboard does not work
(there is a fix for this... apply Optional_default_keyboard.zip via CWM)
- USB tethering is not 100% stable

Does Data Roaming include text messages, or just 'data' (like Gmail, internet, etc)?
I am traveling outside the country and my Data Roaming is checked off, I have no intention of paying AT&T their outrageous fees for data, but I also do NOT want to receive any text messages. How do I disable receiving unwanted text messages while abroad?
Thanks.
I believe you just uncheck the package data option and no data can be used.
I don't think disabling data will block incoming SMS. You would need to call AT&T and have them disable incoming texts, then re-enable when you return.

Anything that isn't a phone call is considered data. Text messages within your plan shouldn't count, but you never know once you leave the country.

I believe this is the case, in that my mother in law gets miniscule data usage reported on her bill on the random occasions she gets a SMS message. However, I believe SMS are carried strictly over the cellular voice network, so I don't think they will be blocked from coming in if the OP only blocks data. As I use GV for texts and don't have an SMS plan, I don't wanna pay to test this myself (yeah I'm a cheapskate, it's only 20 cents). Try shutting off packet data and have someone send you an SMS..

Thanks. Funny, I didn't even think about checking the settings.
The only setting that I believe refers to general messaging (as oppose to specific text or specific MMS) is Push Messages - Receive push messages from network. Obviously there is no explanation as to what it means
Any idea?
BTW - if I do find a 'market' messaging app which allows to shut it off when roaming, how do I completely disable messaging on the stock app? Do I need to remove it from the phone? I kind'a like the stock messaging app (probably because I don't know what I'm missing).
Installing a new messaging app should disable the stock one.

So I installed Handcent SMS (it has a settings for enabling/disabling Roaming auto retrieve and tested it, but when I checked the stock app my test messages (both in/out) were there. There was no notification of a new SMS, but once I opened the stock, the messages were there.
If you don't open it does it still count just because you received the notification?

Yes. It counts because of the traffic through the server, not whether you read it or not. Just like a phone call counts as a minute even if you don't answer it. Any use of the network counts.

Hey, all!
Ever since i've picked up the amaze I've been having a mms bug. Can't send any pics w/o enabling the data first. When i hit send, it does display the 4g icon (i'm on stock ics, but it happened on gb as well), but in a minute or two the error message comes in. Once i enable the data and hit retry, it goes out smooth.
I haven't updated to a new sim-card yet (wi-fi calling wouldn't work on gb with the old one, but ics doesn't seem to mind), not sure if that's something to look into.
Let me know if anyone has any ideas
Thank you!

Mms is a data-reliant service, you need data enabled to send or receive. Thus...I would not classify this as a bug...

was it hard to just say you can click on the "mobile network" icon to bring up the settings tab vs the switch, as i had no idea it worked like that now? thank you.
Update: still no dice with the correct settings. 4g icons shows up and then i get the delivery error message. once the data is forced enabled from the drop-down, it's golden. very strange.
Without data enabled, you will not receive nor be able to send out mms. No way around it.

i understand that, but when sending mms, there should be a trigger (which i can tell it tries to do when i see the 4g icon appear right after hitting "send", except for nothing happens) for the mms data to be enabled just for the time it takes to send a particular mms, otherwise, what's the point to always have data enabled? none of the smartphones i've had, had this happen (sensation included).

Go into your apn settings and delete it or simply reset to default, it should auto download the correct settings, no idea how to make mms work WITHOUT data being enabled, I find that odd to be honest, but if it worked on GB, then I think you guys should stick to GB, just to save yourself some dollars.
It has been a while russianbear.. Anywho, what previous people have said is true, if you actually have data DISABLED, it won't come on for anything(how would the phone decide you want it on for MMS, but not something else like browser?). I used to roll around with data disabled a bit when I had gingerbread, so I can confirm it was the exact same way - you had to enable data to send mms - if it was off, nothing data related would work.
If you aren't worried so much about how FAST is sends MMS, you could always set it to 2g only, then your phone simply couldn't send much data at all.. or an awesome feature built into ICS - go to system settings then click usage - turn on set data usage limit, and set it REALLY low - this will keep ANYTHING that uses background data from sending/receiving, but any app you use in the FOREGROUND will work like normal - open browser or youtube and they would work like normal..
I'm sure there's another trick that would work, but I need more coffee.. good to see you again russianbear.

i'm sure i'm not tripping when saying you don't actually need to physically enable the data connection for it to send mms (none of my prior devices needed to) i've downloaded go sms pro and it works like the stock app should - i don't need to enable anything to send mms now (all options in that app are stock also). not a deal-braker to me, but still strange.

After much time trying to have MMS working without the data connection being active, I found that putting only "mms" in the APN Type setting does the trick (don't forget to save the settings before exiting the APN settings screen). The problem is that the setting is not applied without RESTARTING the device! So, change the setting to "mms", save, and restart.
You need to have the "Data active" option ticked, but there will (should) be no data connection for internet.
PS: I did this in another device, not the HTC Amaze. But it probably also works for you guys.

i've tried mms only, but still nada. it's ok though, i like go sms app anyway
Actually I send MMS and the message leaves but the person who receives the MMS gets an empty MMS message.
After much playing around with the device, I discovered that inserting a picture using gallery or the explorer that comes with the Amaze are all fail.
The only way I'm able to successfully send messages is inserting the image using ROOT Explorer. When I send MMS the person no longer gets empty MMS messages.
Now I'm using the CapcomCE ROM and it happened on SpeedROM 7.5
I downloaded the Gallery ICS from market and its the same story.
So basically if I insert pictures to send through MMS I have to use the Root Explorer or else the MMS messages are sent empty.
Has anyone had a similar experience?

Unfortunately this is an issue, but I don't know if the blame can be placed on TMobile, as the stock messaging app will allow me to send an MMS over WIFI. The reason being is that MMS is sent using the carrier's data connection. With the stock app, while using wifi, it disconnects from the wifi connection just long enough to send the MMS. However, when using a third party, it does not register and therefor isn't sent until you disconnect from the wifi or resend through the stock app.
Works for me bro. But then again, my data is always on...

This is a pretty crap issue.
I have no damn signal in my house (even though I really should), so Wifi Calling is a godsend (even though it likes to randomly turn off).
But I've got five MMS pending download because of a group text, and I can't reply. I would have to go up the street to get them.
I'm on Verizon and have the same problem. Only solution to sending and receiving is to clear data, but have to do that every time i send or receive an MMS on stock. tried Go SMS and Handcent, and get the same issues.

Long press on your Wifi connection
Press "Modify Network"
Scroll down to IP Settings and change that from "DHCP" to "Static"
Scroll down to DNS and enter the following information:

Hi,
I can't automatically receive MMS on standart sms app, anyone experiencing this ?
MMS Just keeps sending/downloading
(i have to turn data on to receive MMS)
I've done some searching and I can't seem to find the issue with MMS data?
My APNs are correct and I have the Messaging app set to Auto-enable data yes nothing happens at all.
Any pxt I send just says "SENDING..." and any I receive just says "Downloading".
Is there an option somewhere in the settings that I am missing?
In earlier versions of Cyanogenmod there was an option to "Enable Packet Data" in the Wireless/Network settings, but it doesn't seem to be present in CM13.
In stock rom 4.1.2, there was this option in feature.xml (System \ csc)
<CscFeature_RIL_ForceConnectMMS>true</CscFeature_RIL_ForceConnectMMS>
Thanks for any help and keep up the awesome work.
Hi, thanks for using the q&a.
Firstly, I used to have the same problem with MMS on lollipop roms. It did work for me on earlier MM roms, but the problem came back a while ago. I just use a 3rd party sms app now. Two that I have used and work well are chomp and textra. They do have ads though which are a little annoying. MMS works perfectly on these(chomp definately, I'm using now; textra I haven't used for a few months but did work perfectly then)
I don't really have a fix for the stock SMS app. As I said it did work properly for a while(for me) on MM with auto enable data.
EDIT: From memory it was dependant on the carrier as well, some people it worked and some like me(and some others on the same carrier) it didn't work....

OK, it works for me....
If you want to keep trying with chomp,try going into the app settings(3 dot menu) then messaging -> mms and switch "mms behaviour". Also see if your carrier send limit is not exceeded.
The other thing I would make sure is your apn settings for mms is correct. Sometimes I have found I need to configure apn manually...
