I am having one issue with my phone. It was a Sprint Touch Pro that has been fully flashed over to CricKet and everything seems to work just fine with one exception....when I get an mms it gives me an error saying "we are unable to download your message. It will remain in your inbox." Then the only way I can see it is if I click on the message, then click download.
UPDATE:
I just managed to figure something out. I get that error if I don't have a data connection established when I receive the mms, but if there is a data connection established the mms works like it should without a problem.
Anyone with any ideas?

It might sound like a silly question, but doesn't MMS use data connection in WAP? Maybe the system is trying to act too fast (faster than what your phone can establish a WAP connection). In other words, it might be set to time-out if the connection is not detected within an x amount of time. Try to see if your MMS program allows you to increase that "time-out". Good luck!

Yes, MMS does use WAP. I am using Arcsoft 5.0.27.25 for my messaging. I have talked with other CricKet users and they say the settings work for them right after the flash. I have even went as far as to compare the EPST settings from my mogul (which works perfectly) to my touch pro and everything checks out. This really has me baffled.
The maker of the rom I am using sent me some directions on flashing this rom and I followed them step for step and still have this issue. Does ANYONE have any ideas on this? Anything would be appreciated.
Thanks
Still no progress other than what I have already posted. This isn't making any sense to me at all. I LOVE this phone but this problem has me about to the point of using it as target practice.
I can't believe that nobody else has run into this or has any ideas on how to fix this.

Okay... not sure how much help this is gonna be, but...
I have a TP flashed to MetroPCS running MR 4.16 and Sprint Arcsoft 5.0.70.24... MMS is a real issue with MPCS and I think Cricket users have less probs, but what you've described is similar to my experience... before I flashed a new rom and changed my arcsoft version, it was exactly as you described, btw...
Maybe you need a dif version of Arcsoft. Now, when I get an mms, it'll show up initially as an empty message, when I click on it it will say I need to download, yadda yadda... but if I wait patiently, a few minutes usually, it will complete the process all by itself. I don't think it matters if it's verizon's or sprint's, but I had an older version of Verizon's Arcsoft first (that was awful) and now I have Sprint's... it works flawlessly, just a little slow sometimes.
That's my suggestion, though I know little about Cricket except what I've read in the Metro forums... good luck!

I will give that a shot after I get home from work in the morning. I hope it works as I am not sure what else the issue could be.
Hey all, i originally posted this problem in January, still no fix.
Wondering if any of the new folks to the forum have any suggestions.
I am using an unlocked TG01 from Orange (UK) on Rogers in Canada (GMT -5), using the official 6.5 ROM. CE OS 5.2.21840 (Build 21840.5.0.60)
My SMS messages recieved are logged 5 hours behind current time. My SMS messages sent are logged at the current time. My suspicion is that it has to do with the origin of the phone, from the UK.
I have searched xda forums and modaco forums, microsoft, and google.
I have total commander, and have modified the registry in a few was, as described below:
I have added the TrustTimeZoneField field dword (in HKLM\System\Phone Settings\OEM ... or whatever it was.)
I have modifed HKLM\Time Zones to include Eastern Standard Time with the proper TZI file.
I have tried to set the timezone to another setting (like GMT -3) reset the phone, and then change it back, and it doesn't not work.
I have download a cab file that was supposed to fix it too.
I am looking for any other ideas, please, and thanks.
Rogers Canada Connections Settings
I followed rogers settings I found on from another site , but although I managed to get the sms working, MMS is still ignoring me. I also cannot connect to the internet/skype using 3G, only wifi, which is quite annoying.
Anyhow, give this a try and see where you get. I found that the Toshiba framework doesn't allow you to add all of these settings, so that might be part of the problem. Anyone have a .cab that might allow for a more comprehensive wifi/3G settings input?

mms
Did you ever get your mms working?? I got mine going with this http://www.stephenwagner.com/?p=33
I am in the US and have a international galaxy s2 on AT&T...My phone is fully rooted, and I am currently running Batista70 FOXHOUD EDITION 2.1 but i cant seem to get my mms on a consistant basis....I have tried several roms so I am pretty sure it isnt that, I can send mms and have a great 3g signal but most of the time I cant recieve my mms...I can browse the internet and download from the market just fine but there again I cant seem to get the mms to recieve...It seems like on a fresh rom install i get the mms fine but then after a day or so I go back to not being able to recieve one at all...I have tried different apn settings and have made sure I am on the right AT&T data plan (HSDPPB) as mentioned in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1109983) and I still cant get anything consistant on RECIEVING! It has really been agravating and I would love to figure out what I can do to get this working right, I dont know if it is the modem software??? Is it my apn settings??? I have tried different things and still nothing so any help would greatly be apprecitated and I have noticed alot of other people in threads seem to be having this problem so if we can figure it out I would love to make a thread to help out others...thanks in advance...
did you talk to your provider, they may have adjust or refresh your account settings from their end.
That's very weird actually, i used to have issues sending MMS but i never had any issues receiving them.

i have talked to at&t and finally got them to change my account and settings so I know for 100% that I am on the right rate plan and settings......
I to was having problems with MMS on ATT but my problem was sending them not receiving though. After I was sure I had the correct apn setting a customer services specialist had me do this. Try opening your phone dial pad and entering *5005*7672*+13123149810# then the green phone button. This is suppose to reset your sms/mms setting back with the network. Long and behold it fixed my problem of sending mms.
just to double check something - are you leaving your data (edge or 3g) enabled? disabling the phone's data connection will prevent mms from coming through.
can someone else confirm that mms for 7.1 is not working for them? my apn is correct but i am still searching the entire forum for tips and alternate solutions.
wondering if this is affecting your hero as well?
for now i am also giving up on this. i've had people report to me that they do get my mms. my wife, who i have on cm 6.1 is not getting them though. i've also tried apn setting threads, as well as another technique with settings reached through the dialer. in the end i never solved this.
i am wondering if i upgrade her to cm7 will she somehow get them then. i guess i will have to eventually report back.
Since receiving my Redmi Note 3, I've been very happy with the phone and software, however I have not been able to receive multimedia messages, is this due to alternate APN settings?, I'm on Australia Woolworths network 4G telstra.
However these settings are default normal telstra, would this be the reason or is it something else? Cheers
Today I was trying to download a MMS but wasn't able to. I modify APN but still nothing.
Then I had the brilliant idea to change the setting to "Prefer 3G" and it worked. Downloaded the MMS without a problem.

Weird anyone know why this is?, not changing back to 3G just to get MMS's

Maybe a bug. But you don't have to keep the 3G. You just have to change to 3G to download the MMS and change back to 4G after that.
I'm with Aldi Mobile, and I can't send MMS, despite configuring the settings they provide on their website. Are you guys able to send MMS at all? I've tried both 4G and 3G, but no luck. I'm running the latest stable global ROM.
Oh, and I'm afraid I don't know if I can receive MMS sorry....
Edit: OK, I can send and receive via the Xiaomi built-in Messaging app (with 4G). Google Messenger will not send MMS, but don't know about receiving.

You have to get the message center address/number from ur provider it will b 11 digits with a plus sing. Then plug it in under settings in msg app.

Sorry peteski, I haven't had any luck with this. Even though I don't like it much, the built-in app does the job so that's what I've been using. If I ever get it working I'll make another post.

Crap. Thanks for your quick response mate. Guess I better start getting used to the built in app.... Cheets
I'm not trying to take the piss but what do you guys use mms for? I've never sent an mms in my life. Whatsapp, bbm, Hangouts etc do a much better job.

Figured this might be the case. any idea if these numbers can be found online? or need to call SP?
Yes you can that's where I found them. Aak google it will find them for sure
Hi Megafluffles, I've got the same phone, same carrier, but even with the Mi Message option on I can't send MMS. Did you ever find out how to get the stock messaging app up and running?
Ta, Nic
Sorry for the necroposting, I hope this info helps someone. For some reason it's very hard to come by.
On my Redmi Pro it looks like this: Settings -> SIM and mobile networks, but not APN settings! Instead, somewhere at the very bottom there is an option to "Always receive MMS (even if mobile internet is turned off)". Switch it on, and voila! The MMS service is working. When you turn it off, even if the APN settings are correct and your 3G-4G network is working perfectly, your MMS "can't be sent at the moment". Good luck trying it out!
I'm using the latest stable MIUI global and the default messaging app, nothing fancy.
