So I updated to Avatar Rom, and then over to SuperNexus. Any issues I've had on either has been resolved except this. Haven't been able to find anyone else mentioning it, so it could just be me.
Anyway, I can't send or receive MMS messages. If I try to send one, it remains sending and never reaches its destination. If I receive one, I get a notification but no actual message or picture. Anyone what experienced similar?

What service provider are you on? Might need custom apn setting
And make sure you have 3g turned on
Check in text setting make sure auto retrieve is on,,,
If all else fails just backup your stuff and Odin back to stock and see if it works.

My friend got a TB and can't send or receive pictures via mms. He gets the exact same message as a poster on a different forum:
"I just wanted to throw this out there as I have not found a solution...
I've had my Thunderbolt for like a week and a half now and for the majority its been great. Starting about yesterday, I've been unable to send or receive MMS/picture messages.
If someone sends me one, I get a little note in my conversation that says "so and so" is trying to send a message and lets me choose download or delete. This seems new to me, I don't remember seeing this notification in my text convo. If I choose download, it shows a little icon with a clock in it, as its trying to download the picture. After about 5 minutes, I get a notification that it failed because of a generic network failure.
A similar thing happens if I try to send a message to someone with a picture in it. My regular texting works fine and I can go on the internet perfectly. I've tried sending messages with WiFi and/or Mobile Data on/off... doesn't seem to make a difference.
Called VZW last night and they took me through battery pulls, SIM card pulls, and whatnot... didn't fix the problem. They were checking things on their end but did not see an issue. The last woman I got gave me two options, 1, she could open a network tix for me or 2, I could go to store and do a phone swap as I'm in my converage period. I told her to put in the tix for now, and perhaps I'd swap this weekend.
Anyone have any idea what is going on?"
So far nobody has answered. He's using stock rom, and the stock messaging settings / handcent settings match the way they are set on my Evo. If anybody could help it would be greatly appreciated.
is it on 3G or 4G? MMS will not work unless your in data coverage
Does not work on 3g, 4g, or Wi-fi.
what about sending it through regular messaging? I couldn't tell if he is using Handcent or using regular messaging. How about uninstalling Handcent?
The problem persists with or without handcent.
Make sure the picture being sent is not too big. If this doesn't do it you may have to call Verizon about it. Going back a few years I had an issue with my dumb phone. Couldn't receive picks. They had to reset my account. Also some providers don't always send pic messages so well to verizon. Have your friend have some on on Verizon send him a pic.

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.
Everything else works fine but I can not send or receive text messages. Message center phone number is set to 13123149810. Any ideas on what could be wrong. phone is stock setup
When you get phone?
Error message when send?
You try update profile?

got phone yesterday at best buy, no error message, recipient just never receives the text. This is my first android, how do i update profile?
You might just call AT&T and make sure your account settings are right. For some reason, the Note is a little different setup on the back end for AT&T than a lot of other devices - particularly if you're moving from a non-LTE phone and the guys at BB may not have setup your account correctly. Still seems a little odd everything else would work right. I always thought it was an all or nothing kind of thing but who knows.
ok, thanks for your help
So, I have Cyanogenmod installed, and for some reason now I'm having trouble sending text messages. It's like I can send one, then none after that and sometimes if i reboot the phone it'll send another then no more. Is anybody able to tell me if this is something to do with the software on my phone or something on Verizon's side?

Did you check the APN settings for your text messaging app?
I had this issue once but a battery pull seemed to fix it.
Try this and see if it works.

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.
