I'm having an odd issue that I cannot figure out.
I'm running ICS Passion v12 on my T-Mobile Vibrant. I was on stock 2.2, went back to 2.1 with Odin then flashed CWM. I then wiped (data, cache, dalvic) and installed CM7, wiped again and flashed ICS.
Everything on ICS is working except sending SMS. I can place & receive calls, receive texts, but every time I try to send one I get a "Message Not Sent" notification. I don't have a data plan with the phone but do have unlimited SMS. Does this ROM try to push SMS out through data?
Here is what I've tried. Rebooting, power off & battery pull, wipe and reflashing the ICS ROM multiple times, still no luck. I tried to flash CM7 again to see if I can send messages there but the ICS recovery wouldn't take the zip file. Tried to restore stock and it had an error with the boot image.
Does anyone have any ideas on what I should do?
Update: I entered *#*#4636#*#* in my dialer and went selected Phone Info. Under SMSC it was black. I selected Refresh and am getting a "refresh error" message. Do any of you have something listed there?
Solved Replaced T-Mobile SIM card and I can now send SMS.
Looks like sending picture messages is working, still just having the problems sending SMS.
Are you on simple setting? Go to wireless network and access point and see.

SOLVED
Issue Solved
All I needed was a new T-Mobile SIM card.
Android 2.3 and up uses PDU mode for sending SMS. My old SIM card couldn't handle the upgrade to 4.0.3. It was working on stock because it is only 2.2.
MMS not working
So you were able to send MMS? I upgraded to Passion v12 *BETA* and now I can't send or receive MMS. Everything else works including SMS

Yes MMS always worked, as long as data is turned on. It may be an issue similar to mine where the SIM card is bad. T-mobile just handed me one free and it was a 5 minute phone call to activate it.
Check your APN settings. I had same issue. Google T-Mobile apn settings and compare. This is what mine was missing: MMS Proxy: 261.155.165.050 MMS Port: 8080 Works great now.

Might be a sim card issue. I will try to replace with a new one and then let you know if that was the problem. Thanks!

Alright so it turned out that the MMS app wasn't resizing the photos, so they were being rejected because it was too large. I cropped a photo to test that out and it worked. APN settings are configured too. Anyway, I ended up getting Handcent. Wayyyyy better haha.

Hi all,
I want to preface this by saying I've searched the forums, and have not been able to find my specific circumstance addressed. I'm having a problem where I can receive MMS just fine, but I cannot send any MMS from my Galaxy S2 on KE7 with KE4 modem. I'm using AT&T in the USA, and came from an iPhone 3GS. I'm still on the iPhone unlimited data plan (haven't gotten around to switching to a 4G plan yet). MMS always worked just fine on my iPhone, both ways.
When I go to send an MMS, it just keeps trying to send the message forever. I initially see some data activity in the status bar, but it quits after about 5-6 seconds. The message just sits trying to send unless I delete it manually.
Anyone know why this would be occurring? Help is greatly appreciated!

I am having the exact same problem, but I can't even get receiving mms to work. The message comes through but fails to download. I have tried multiple apn settings but nothing works.
Just curious,but are you guys using wifi when trying to send or receive the mms? Data HAS to be on for mms to work, if I'm not mistaken..

Yes I have tried sending over both wifi and 3g with no luck.

I've tried using with WiFi and without...neither one works. Again, I can receive just fine, just not send.
Here I think is your answer.
If you say for example take a picture or video and then within the Camera app try and send either one as a Message, the MMS will fail IF you have the Camera app set to save to Memory Card.
If you change the Camera app to save to phone, then you can take a 8 MP picture and send it as a MMS from the camera app and it will resize and send.
I have mine set to save to memory card, so after you take a pic, you have to go into Gallery and find the picture, then send the exact same 8MP shot as a Message and this time the GS2 will correctly resize and send it.
I'd say its some bug having to do with saving pictures and video to the memory card, but the above way will get you a MMS to send.
Thanks for the info, but I'm pretty sure that's not my problem. I don't even have an external SD card on my phone, and when I go to the Camera options to change storage location, it's greyed out (can't change it), I assume because I have no other option since I don't have an external SD card installed.
Also, when I have tried sending pics via MMS, Handcent will resize the pic, but it still won't send it. BTW, I have tried sending MMS with the stock messaging app, and that doesn't work either...just in case anyone thought it might be Handcent with the problem.
Under Settings > Wireless and Network > Mobile Networks > Network Mode, do you have WCDMA Ony checked, or GSM/WCDMA (Auto Mode) checked?
I found that if I had WCDMA Only checked, I couldn't get MMS messages to work consistently at all.
I have Auto Mode checked.
bump....need MMS to work. help?
check your MMS message center settings. You can access it within the MMS app>menu>settings.
I had this exact same problem when I updated my modem and found out the reason I couldn't send messages because the Message Center phone number was removed.
The correct one for AT&T is +1312349810. Make sure to put the + there.
Edit: NM sounds like your prob is mms only. I have had this problem with my old vibrant galaxy S1 too. The problem was because of the way phone numbers were formatted. For what it's worth I fixed that problem by editing the contact so that their phone numbers are exactly 10 consecutive digits (3 digit area code + the number) without any hyphens or marks ie: 2382819391. No leading 1's, etc. Not sure why it happens but seems to fix it for me.
I haven't had this issue with my SGS2 though.
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
Mobile data is on and my mms settings are correct, I cheched them. Is there any log file that I could upload?

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

Is there anyone that has a link or a copy of Optional_default_keyboard.zip due to the problem with multiupload?
I'm unable to recieve SMS messages. I can't receive them under any circumstances. I'm currently on shostock2, but I've also tried Aberration and no luck there either.
As said, I can't receive messages, but I can send them. I also am able to use the data connection and make/receive calls.
The things I've tried are:
Delete mms app data
delete all messages
Send myself a message (doesn't receive)
Tried GO SMS app
Made sure auto receive is on in app
Factory Reset ROM
Flash another ROM
Tried the newest Siyah kernel
Also I've contacted ATT and went through the troubleshooting steps they want wanted. I obviously don't know what they were trying on their end, but nothing was working there either. They gave me a resolution date of the 22nd, which is a bit longer than I'd like to wait.
So, any ideas folk? I'd really like to get messaging back!!!
Full wipe + format system + format data.
Don't restore from TiBu.
And try...

Had the same issue earlier. What worked for me was taking out the sim and putting it in a different phone real quick then swap it back in. When I rebooted I had all my messages. Hope this helps
Hi, I've got 3000 MMS per month from my service provider, and my SGSII GT-i9100 is randomly not sending/receiving the MMS. SMS works just fine as always, but MMS is troubled. Sometimes, it will send/receive MMS without a problem, but then again sometimes it won't. It just gets stuck on "sending"-animation, and after a reboot it says that it failed to send the MMS. Just now, I managed to send 1 MMS to my gf, and then the second MMS got stuck on the "sending"-animation.
The settings have been double checked at least 10 times, the ROM has been wiped and reflashed several times, and Wi-Fi has not been on (I first noticed this problem when I accidentally had Wi-Fi on and then tried to send MMS, after that I instantly turned Wi-Fi off and the problems have persisted ever since).
Browsing online works great, and uploading files too. Signal strength is almost at max all the time etc...
I've used several ROMs, now I'm on Omega v. 16.2, and I use Go SMS Pro to send my sms/mms... The stock sms-app is installed too, but I don't use it. Also I've made wipe settings and caches and fixed permissions a dozen times... Nothing has helped that I've tried. Sometimes the MMS works, but mostly it won't.
SIM card must not be the one to blame, as I can send MMS with my Gio, that has some custom ROM also, and this SIM attached to it...
Any fixes?
Hey guys,
I've had this phone for a while but i have been dealing with this increasingly annoying issue. I can't send or receive MMS messages for some reason. If i try to attach a picture, it does not send and when attempting to download a sent message, it fails and attempting to retry does not seem to even initiate another attempt.
Has anyone else faced this issue?
Super late to this thread but I am currently having the same issue, did you ever find a solution?
I think there is a problem with custom roms on using MMS /data. I use Straight Talk on At&T network and with right APN settings, I only get mms and no data for gapps like play store and maps. So if you want to keep using custom ROM switch to using 3G mode (it works for me, i get data +mms, everything works great except slower internet speeds). Or return to Stock ROM. I am using Stock ROM since last week (B331) and I am getting data+mms on 4G with the same straight talk apn settings.
IF not using custom ROM - then check your APN settings from network provider

I just made a post about how i fixed mine on the AT&T GoPhone plan.
Not sure what plan you are using but maybe this will help.
