[Q] CM10 no MMS after flash - Motorola Photon 4G

I just installed Cyanogenmod 10 on my Spring Motorola Photon 4G, and after I find that I have no MMS which after research seems to be very common. I'm seeing that most people use go sms pro as a work around to this. I installed it and still no MMS. I also see that people did editing to some of the options under the advanced menu which involves changing the I want to say the address of what MMS uses to send which also look to be carrier specific. Since I don't know what these are called I've found it difficult to find. If anyone could offer some assistance in me getting my MMS working again that'd be great.

All you need to do is add the APN's for your carrier.

I did find the APN and got picture messaging, both send and receive working, but what's strange is that multi message texts wont send.

i think that might just be a bug that hasn't been fixed. not sure though.

I also do not have MMS, after flashing Th3Bill's CM10 10/28 build. Anyone know what the issue is?
I'm on Sprint.

add the APN's if you haven't.

What exactly are the Sprint APN's?
I've tried both of these, none work.

EDIT: tried the SIII method, then and added the APN's manually. Then the new version came out, so I reflashed and did a factory reset. That seemed to do the trick!

Can't send MMS w/o enabling data

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.

hey, man good to see you as well.
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.

LOL, that may be why I didn't have issues.. I hate the stock messaging app, so I always used gosms. I'm not sure why you would use that ugly HTC goodness anyways, lol. Good to have you back bro
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?

[Q] GSM razr not getting MMS

I'm running the .33 ICS leak, with Deutsch Telekom service. For some reason I am unable to receive any MMS. I get the notification with a box to download image. When I click to download the image nothing happens. This is the case with both the stock messenger and handcent.
- Has anyone else experienced this? If so, were you able to fix it and how?

I'd bet that people aren't answering because they're not on the same carrier as you and they don't want to give you half-ass advice. The obvious thing is to make sure your data connection is on. Are you sure you're connected to your carrier's data 3g/4g network? Try disabling wifi and re-downloading the message. As I said I'm not on the same carrier nor the same country as you so it's rather difficult to troubleshoot. It could be a problem with the leak or your carrier

Thank you for your reply, I will gladly take half ass advice, simply because it is better than none. If ten people suggest something I may not have tried, I could at least narrow the issue down.
Although people may not be on the same carrier as me, there are many using the same ICS release.
Are you using the XT910? I'm assuming you are not having any MMS issues. What data settings are you using? What messenger do you use?
I have done all the things you suggested before I posted my question. I have gone in to my APN setting and ensured that Telekom is selected. I have noticed ICS doesn't seem to have as many options for network settings that the past versions had.
All in all I'm looking for any kind of response from anyone using the .33 ICS leak in regards to receiving MMS. Are they able to get the image sent to them or not?

I'm using the XT910 GSM for Rogers (Canadian Carrier). My data is either off or on, got no real settings beyond that. I do know that if I try and retrieve a MMS while on wifi with the data connection off, it won't download the message. I use the stock messenger too (something you may want to try if you're using a 3rd party messaging app). I've never messed around with any of the APN settings/other network settings.
Sent a MMS this morning no problem this morning and received one this afternoon no problem. Honestly, not sure what the problem could be

I'm also using the. 33 leak.
Have you checked the individual options in the apn to make sure they are correct?
In a previous leak it said i was on T-Mobile but i use simple mobile, so maybe it has something wrong in the mms port or proxy? (The long one)
Have you tried sending an mms to see if it actually gets sent?
I set up the mms port/proxy wrong i had mms problems

[Q] Random reboot then lost Group Messaging in CM10.1

Does anyone else have this problem with Group messaging in CM10.1? Before a random reboot, Group Messaging in the native app works well. In settings, the Group Messaging in the MMS settings is checked. I can send pictures using mms from the camera app. And group threads with iPhone friends also works.
Then, say a week later, I get a random reboot, and all this goodness disappears. Strangely the Group Messaging textbox goes away. There's no option in MMS settings to either check or uncheck. MMS functionality doesn't work. Pictures try to send but end up with a red x.
Clearing Dalvik solves the problem until it happens again.
Does anyone have any ideas? Could it be CID related? I've done FakeCID, Rancun, Viper Sense before. Any help would be appreciated. thanks!

MMS and APN Settings

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.

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.

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.

SMS Issue After Frankenstein H931 to US998

I recently purchased a V30 H931 and was hoping to use it on Verizon.
I followed the guides and Frankensteined it to US998 and unlocked the bootloader. Had no problems with that.
MMS, calls and data work just fine.
SMS both sends and receives, but the phone never thinks it sends it successfully. It gets stuck on sending and eventually shows a "failure" prompting me to retry.
Tried rebooting, multiple messages app, removing SIM (still works fine in my old phone) and even flashed the stock Verizon rom. Never once has it realized that the SMS is sent successfully.
Was I wrong in my research that I could fully convert the H931 to work on Verizon? Does anyone have ideas or has anyone fixed this problem?
If I need to return the phone, is it possible to lock the bootloader and get it back to stock H931?
Thanks for any help.

This has been discussed in other threads, with solutions. I'll try to find them
What app are you using?
Also, have your tried flashing the VS996 20D stock firmware rom in TWRP?

Yes I've flashed this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/development/rom-lg-vs996-20d-rom-t3830564
Still didn't work.
I've tried multiple messages apps including the two that come default with the above rom Meesaging, Verizon Message+ and I have also tried Googles Messages app.
I appreciate your help. Thank you.
Edit: I found this thread with no real solution for OP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/help/sms-stuck-sending-using-frankenstein-t3823757
I may just have to return the phone and buy a different model. Do you know what the process would be to lock the bootloader and flash stock H931?

After a lot of sleuthing, and some subsequent testing, I found that the default APN settings for MMS messaging is saved in:
\root\data\data\com.android.mms\shared_prefs\com.a ndroid.mms_preferences.xml
Now, there's a lot of other stuff in there, and I didn't feel comfortable changing things around in that file, so I used another program, Shortcut Master Lite, from the XDA forums, to search for those hidden settings.
In ShortcutMaster Lite, I clicked the hamburger (3-dot) button choose App Explorer.
I scrolled down to and clicked on Messaging (com.android.mms)
I scrolled to the bottom and clicked on MmsSprintSettingActivity
I clicked on Launch
There I was able to see what the default MMS settings are. In my case, this was still set to the Sprint URL, https:/mms.sprintpcs.com, and some fancy Gateway and Port.
I changed these values to match up with Verizon's MMS settings, so I set the URL to http://mms.vtext.com/servelets/mms, and then left Gateway and Set Port blank. After saving this, the phone IMMEDIATELY rebooted on it's own. After a brief heart attack, the phone rebooted and .... whaBAM! Both Messaging and Messenger work fine now!
I posted instructions in the Guide section as well. That can be found here.
Thanks for your assistance, everybody.

That issue seems a bit different. I am having no issues with MMS. I tried pulling up that setting and the url is already set correctly. I deleted the gateway and port and that did not fix it so I put them back.

Yes APN is set correctly from what I've found online.
Any other suggestions?

EDIT: If it's already correct, how about the SMS settings? Are they there also?

Original post :
Well try it anyway. Texting/SMS/MMS are very related.
It's about making sure you have the right settings for Verizon instead of Sprint.

I didn't see anything there for SMS. All the settings there were set correctly for Verizon.
