[Q] Why Can't I send picture Messages? PLEASE HELP - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

I am running Hyperdrive ROM rls 7. I have tried many things to get MMS picture messages to work on my phone again after they have stopped unexpectedly. I can send group MMS text messages however whenever I send a picture (no matter the size) it just continually loads and never sends. I have tried reinstalling various nandroid backups to no avail with fixing the problem. Could it be that i reinstall my textmessage data using titanium backup? does anyone have the stock messaging app apk? maybe reinstalling it would help, i really don't know at this point.

Are you connected to wifi? MANY people have reported issues both on stock and various ROMs with sending MMS while wifi is connected. Try disconnecting your wifi and see if they send. While connected to wifi, the MMS messages are supposed to trigger 4g connection which transmits the data via Verizon's network. In many phones/ROMs this doesn't work right. I'm not aware of an end-all resolution though.

Unfortunately they do not send regardless of whether WiFi is enabled or disabled.

What kind of mods do you have installed with Hyperdrive? You may have to switch to a different ROM or rooted stock ROM to re-test. I don't think it's broken in Scott's ROM, but could've been an app or mod that broke it.

I don't have any mods installed with Hyperdrive, only the ones that come with it. I have already tried restoring a nandroid backup i made right after I rooted but it doesn't work there either.

Maybe try a full wipe and clean install of a different ROM? If that doesn't work, I guess I would ODIN back to factory stock. If it doesn't work there you are all set to take to Verizon store and show them. You'd be eligible for a warranty swap, but I've never gone through that before, so I don't know how it completely works.

Recieving No Text Messages...

Not sure if you guys want this here...just thought I'd post here...move if needed...
Ok, problem I've had for awhile now..
I was using Tazz 10 and Nonsensikal 7.0. They were both working perfectly then all of a sudden, I started to not receive txt messages. I can send, but not receive. So I wiped, re-flashed each ROM seperately, nothing. Wiped and nandroid to a ROM that was working, nothing.
I am now doing the Flashback 1.5 to get to Stock ROM. If still not working, gotta take to Verizon. But once it works...gonna Root again and put Tazz 12 and Nonsensikal 8.8. and see if the issue returns.
That's all, just wanted to post if any one else experiences this issue.
OK....flashed the Stock ROM...I am now recieving Txt messages...
Next...re-root and flash Nonsensikal, and see if I am still able to recieve Txts.
After flashing a stock ROM, you should back up your APN files. One way to do this is with a free app on the market called APN backup and restore. It will back up to an XML file on your SD card. After flashing another ROM, use that app to restore the APN files.
What are the APN files for? I am stuck at boot screen since updating OTA. Haven't had a chance to root yet. So I can still do it.

I believe they tell your phone which towers to connect to. So if you don't have the correct APN files, your phone has issues receiving messages. Some of the ROMS that are based on ROMs from other carriers may not have the right APNs.

Shouldnt a *228, option 2, update the PRL to current for Verizon?
Well, I went through everything and now I am NOT receiving messages again. I re-rooted and flashed Tazz 12 and now not receiving Txt messages again. Damn! I have to have an unrooted phone now? This sux. I can't be with out Txt messaging.
FYI...I restored APN's and did *228
Is it with your stock txt app or did you download one? I had problems similar to yours with ChompSMS on NonSensikal. Wiped and reinstalled rom but stuck with Stock messenger and the problem never returned. If you are on stock try a different txt app. Good luck!
It was with both apps...neither were recieving. I have since restarted and it seems to be working at the moment...
Could it be that your not popular?
jk, have you turned the Wi-Fi off, cause that has seemed to work for me

I would have the problem with both apps as well but when I reinstall the rom it would work and then a little while after installing Chomp it would stop again. Finally did a reinstall and didn't install ChompSMS and everything worked and stayed working. Good Luck!
One of my friends was having this issue too and it was due to which radio version she was using. The radio included in Tazz, KaosFroyo, and Nonsensikal were all giving her issues. She switched to xtrSense and the radio with that played nicer with her phone and all was well. Check out which version each rom runs and then you can flash the other radio over whichever rom you'd want. With that being said, I should also point out that there is a small chance, were something to go wrong with the radio flash, of damaging your phone. Now I have flashed two or three different ones, and had another friend purposely try to brick his phone by flashing radios from different phones even as well as pulling the battery while flashing a radio, and did not brick his phone. Just like rooting your phone, there's always a chance something can go wrong, but at that stage it's all about weighing the pros and cons and if you have a back up plan. Hope this helps.
I'm having the same problem. I was running KaosFroyo then Nonsensikal with no issues. I switched to Tazz Froyo today and now I can't receive texts, only send them. I flashed back to Nonsensikal and it didn't remedy the problem. The radio is the same on Tazz and Kaos (didn't check Nonsensikal) so I don't think that's the issue.
I would like to point out that kaosfroyo doesn't include a radio it uses whatever you have

I've revert to stock and reflahed and it stop for awhile and then just now it is happing again. This problem hasn't occur untill after I flash boinex v for awhile. Does anyone have any suggestions? Im on boinex v1.2. There's a new one that just cme out, maybe it will help?

I've consistently had problems getting messages to send after flashing a new rom...can't personally pinpoint the problem, as for me it presents itself in different ways and at different times depending on the rom.
However, I have found that the attached messaging apk always resolves my problems, so my solution is to push this to system/app after I flash a new rom. See if it works for you.
It's just the messaging apk from (I think) one of the earlier Nero roms, but I couldn't tell you for sure. I had just backed it up b/c of messaging issues TW was having at the time, and I find myself constantly using it.
Hope this helps!
It didnt work...ugh..does anyone else have a way to fix this?
Bummer man.
Just to clarify what "didn't work" means, you didnt try to install this, did you? You need to replace the existing mms.apk in your system files with the one I attached.
I just want to make sure you didn't try to install it like a 3rd party app...it doesn't work that way.

No i did it the right way, pushed it thought root explorer and changed the permission and everything, the mms app look different also. But anyways i got it to work in a werid way.
My network mode was at GSM/WCDMA(auto mode), so i just switched it back to GSM and everything was fine?
That's interesting - I just checked mine and am on auto mode. No problems here.
Nevertheless...glad you got it working again!

Google Voice not forwarding texts to stock messaging app

Recently Installed CM9 agrabrens 7.1 fantastic btw! I turned do not disturb on last night and after disabling it I no longer recieve texts on my cell phone off data. It seems that Google voice has stopped forwarding my text messages.
I have tried flashing other roms wiping data and deactivating my google voice account and no luck. I am able to send messages via the stock app fine just not receive them.
Any idea what I should do to approach this?
Thanks
I have the same problem. I am glad I am not alone. I am thinking about reverting to complete stock and then seeking technical support. Why do you think it is a Google Voice issue? Did you flash VM Firmware?

I just flashed MeanRom and the issue went away. Unexpectedly reflashed cm9 agrabren again and still no messages....
It just started happening suddenly I know that my configurations are correct.
I may try a superwipe
When I flashed into MeanRom all my messages came flooding in thank god so I didn't lose them up in the cloud but i like cm9 i Don't wanna lose texting...
Did you flash Virgin Mobile Firmware?
My messaging has not been working for a month. During this period I have tried many ROMs. I am not sure if this is ROM related.
Yes but I stripped the boot loader out of it so I am on boot 1.4 and also flashed back to 2.17 but maybe I haven't done anything other than that. But why would it be fine then randomly stop working.
I haven't tried any others from mean ROM which worked and agrabrens. I also have a kernel of he who must not be named installed I tried without it as well and problem remained. Was running great until this morning.

Bump Issue still exists
Finally I was able to get messaging back using stock app. When I disabled Google Voice I started getting error Msg 2134 and solution to it is to unblock text on the phone through Sprint's website. Damn Sprint, even they didn't know about it.
My Sprint > My Preferences > Block Texts > unblock all. And you messaging should start in a few minutes.
If this doesn't work try disabling your Google Voice account and then try it again. You might have to try different browser or wait a little bit.

SMS wont send on Black StarVI

Anyone have any ideas? The browser works just fine and I can sign in to all my google apps and get my emails. I can also receive phone calls, but I can not send a text message. It just tries and tries then fails. I am assuming I cant receive them either.
Not sure. Worked fine for me, but I've already flashed 7. And it's working. Might just flash the newest one. Look around at the end for the download link.

Not yet. I dont think I have enough posts. And I did try flashing to 7 and I have the same problem.
Any ideas? I have tried flashing in both CWM and TWRP and have the same problem. Everything works except for sending and receiving text messages. I have tried all the wipes and can't figure it out.
Now it appears to happen no matter what I flash. I tried to Odin back to stock and still have the same problem. Damn this is frustrating

Can't send MMS with wifi enabled

So I've seen this asked multiple times with no answer, hopefully someone knows something they haven't posted? (Or I didn't find?)
I can't seem to send MMS messages unless I disable wifi.
No, mobile data is not shut off, it is working perfectly fine. I can even receive MMS with no issue, but SENDING doesn't happen until I disable wifi. I can sit with it enabled for a few minutes, disable it, and it will immediately send. I tried the goSMS/Handcent trick, no luck.
I've had this issue for months, but honestly I don't send THAT many mms messages where it's an issue, so I forget to ask usually. Has anyone found a decent fix for this?

I have the same issue. I typically just toggle off wifi until it sends and then toggle it back on. Annoying, I know. But, I've done factory resets and had the same issue come back eventually which leads me to think an app that gets automatically downloaded is the culprit. I'm on 4.3 TW rooted w/ locked bootloader (god bless replacements).

I was able to find a fix after searching for a while... at least for MY version of the problem. I rebooted into TWRP and "fixed permissions" and then it started working fine again... at least for now.
If you're still having this issue, it could be your APN. That seems to be a common issue with mms not working properly.
I had the same issue with my GS3 after I installed MOAR. I tried everything including checking my APN with no success. Eventually I replaced my secmms.apk with a port from the Note 3 and it worked fine after that.
Are you rooted? Running custom rom?
