[Q] Need help with SlimRom MMS - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

I have an Evo 4g LTE with the latest flash of this ROM and I can not send any picture text. Text... text work fine however. I switched my phone service to Ting and they require that I edit the mmsc (I think it is) address from the factory sprint using ##3282#. I did that and then flashed the phone. I "searched this thread" for mms and this is the closet thing that I can find to the issue I am having (post #74)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40378959&highlight=mms#post40378959
There was also a mention of AOSP uses 3/4g to send the pics even when logged onto wifi, and only another AOSP flashed phone will get them.
What should I try and do to solve this? Should I do what's in the link and change the Mobile network type setting?
And if you're wondering I have not posted more than 10x's so that's why I'm asking here instead of in the development thread

Use go sms... That's what everyone has said in those threads... Good luck!

Some roms are setup to send mms over wifi, but most require mobile data to be enabled like you said. I would try that first. If it still doesn't work, I've fixed it before by installing Handcent, setting it as the default mms app (inside Handcent settings somewhere), sending a few mms with that app, then uninstalling and going back to the stock messaging app. Mms worked as expected after that.

Okay, thanks guys

Well I dl go sms pro but it did not transfer my contact list, when I try and add a contact it does not save it and it does not send a reg text or mms. I can't find a settings menu either. I've searched for a how to guide here, android forums and google but can't find a dummy guide. What do I need to do?

Help with APN settings/mms settings how to edit them

How can I change my mms settings. when I open messages and the click settings then click connection settings it shows the settings but will not let me edit them can anyone help with this thank you
I belive there is a way to edit these settings via cdma workshop but i dont know too much about that
I cant get the phone to connect to the work shop
Does anybody know if they have rooted this phone yet I read the forum about it it does seem like they have yet
Root is a work in progress.
What are you messing with your settings for? if your having issues just run *288 and let it do it. if that doesnt work use the RUU Update, and then reprogram your phone and use *288
I cant I have the Eris running on Cricket I have the phone, internet, text and the market running great but would like to have mms

uhhh, yoo hooo! guys, the htc based android phones are dirt simple to program for use on another network..
I've had my eris running full on alltel over two months now with the unl. data plan. Never looses 3G, alltels 3G coverage is wicked sweet.
Getting Voice & SMS working:
Get current .PRL file for your network(alltel, sprint, vzw, cricket, etc..), google for it. Mount your phone thru USB, drag the PRL to the root of the SD card.
Unmount
Dial##PRL
Enter SPC code
Select PRL from SD
Restart Phone
Activate phone with your carrier, lie about what phone it is, i told alltel i'm a Samsung Delve, a phone they have.
They'll tell you to *228 it, this will work perfectly after you've programmed the PRL described above.
Hang up with them.
Getting data to work:
Dial ##PST send.
Enter SPC code
Go to security...
Google for those settings for your carrier and enter all that is asked for in that menu screen.
Do nothing else, restart the phone.
Now, setting up MMS on the Eris is a pain, I still can't get it.
When going to Messages, Settings, Connection settings, ... i am not allowed to edit those settings, they're stuck at vzw values.
IF .. and ONLY if I install the "quick settings" app in the market, disable mobile network, THEN go to messages, connection settings, .. i can now edit those values and change them to alltel's mms addresses... go home, them go back into messages, connection settings, all is saved, good. If I go and re-enable mobile network, ... the mms connection settings switch back to vzw... GAHH!!!

It's probably just allowing you to input settings but unable to save them due to lack of permissions. Looks like MMS is screwed until root gets here :\
how do you get web working on crickets network ive change the settings from the security but still no luck.

[Q] MMS Problems

Seem to be having them on every ROM i try.
APN Settings are correct. They're automatically retrieved when installing a new ROM.
I'm on O2.
I have tried Stock messaging APP, GO SMS Etc.
The message just constantly says 'sending' Nothing more happens.
same problem here... i'm on ics
Same problem here i'm on hydrog3nICS 31.03.......

Have you tried other ICS ROMS?
What network re you both on?
Maybe a dumb question, but have you tried sending to several would-be recipients?
I ask because I had the same problem - all ROMs, all kernels - a few weeks back, or so I thought. But the problem was with my wife's phone, not mine.
Took me about 40 attempts before I thought of trying someone else...
Tried Wanams 10.4 ROM. It seemed to send earlier. Then after ive set my phone up.I tested again, and it gave me the.
Unfortunately messaging has stopped

Yeah, just tried sending one to myself. No-go.
I had the same issues you have, but a mate of mine who works as an O2 Guru helped me sort it out
I now have only 2 APNs, just the ones I need, as I deleted all the others myself (you probably don't have to do this yourself)
You need one for internet/3G access, and one for MMS:
Internet APN (jpg image)
MMS APN (jpg image)
Passwords should be "password" if I remember correctly
These are O2 postpay/contract settings btw, not pay as you go, those might be different.
Also, screenshots were taken on CM9, so some of the settings (like APN type) may look different. The Internet APN's type should just be Internet and the MMS APN's type should be just MMS.
According to my mate you also have to do a battery pull after saving the APN settings, but I just rebooted.
Also just to make sure you're not as dumb as I was, make sure your mobile data is turned on
I wondering for ages why my MMS wouldn't work until I was told I needed mobile data on

It still says the picture is sending but never does send!
I've tapped them in. gunna reboot, take battery out and try message myself as a test!
Seems to have worked!
Ive also entered the MMSC settings into GOSMS app. There is an area under the MMS bit on GOSMS.
Sent and receieved. Finally!
Thanks a lot mate, saved me alot of bother!

Manually switch APNs

I've searched to the best of my ability and can't find much help. My problem is that when I'm any custom ROM (tried about 5 including CM7, CM9 and RootBox JB) I must manually switch APNs when I get a MMS message. So for example, if I receive a picture message, I have to go into my APN setting and manually select my MMS APN, then go back to my messaging app and hit download. Then once it downloads, I have to go back into my APN setting and switch back to my internet APN. On the stock ROM this was not the case. I have all the correct settings, I'm absolutely sure. I've tried editing the apns-conf.xml file to add my carriers settings. Tried flashing without the sim card in. Can't seem to get it to work. I'd really appreciate any help you guys can provide.

I assume you mean combine the two APN settings. I've tried that. All that does is leave me without internet or mms capabilities.
Seriously? what provider do you have? I'm guessing since you're in the USA judging by the american flag in your profile that you're on ATT or straight talk? Telling us what provider you have would help quite a bit..
Edit, I thought help me, help me I'm dying questions belong in the QnA forums?
Sorry, knew I was forgetting something. My carrier is Viaero. I live in the middle of nowhere in Colorado so its basically the only option. AT&T doesn't cover our area. And now this isn't an urgent issue, just something that kind of annoying. All I was looking for were some ideas on how to remedy the situation, so I thought general would be more appropriate.
Post both apns please
I've verified these with Viaero and with another SII running stock. also had an unlocked iPhone before which these worked with. Another side note, on custom roms if I put in the "APN TYPE" I get neither internet nor MMS. So I have to leave those blank to get it to work at all.

HOW-TO: Fix T-Mobile MMS over WiFi Calling and Data (Tested: SR7-9, Fourth Bar)

For T-Mobile users, anyhow.... Found this link elsewhere on XDA, and figured it was worth a repost.... Would put it in the thread, but that 10-post rule keeps me from doing so....
Turns out it is an APN issue preventing the use of MMS reliably.
To start, I couldn't MMS over either data OR wifi, when running Speed Rom 6.5 or 6.0.
Other folks in the Speed ROM DEV thread have the same problem, and there has been much change-ing of MMS apps and so on to try and fix it.
Well... I tried all that, and it didn't work... But this does.
It's based on this article from TMO, but updated for our phones...
1) Delete all APNs other than T-Mobile Data
2) Use the following settings for T-Mobile Data (Case Sensitive)
Name: T-Mobile Data (or T-Mobile US)
APN: epc.tmobile.com
Proxy: <Not set>
Port: <Not set>
Username: None
Password: <Not set>
Server: <Not set>
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS proxy: <Not set>
MMS port: <Not set>
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
Authentication type: <Not set>
APN type: default,supl,admin,dun,mms,hipri
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Note: For the Username, enter "None" with the keypad. Do not leave it not set.
If your phone or ROM has a field not in the above list, leave it at the default setting.
CM10 Note: Astrisks (eg, *) are not the same as 'Not Set'. The phone will say 'Not Set' if you have it right.
3) Save the APN
Following these instructions WORKS to allow me to MMS *OVER WIFI CALLING AND DATA* for roms that have WFC, when all of the other fixes involving different MMS apps FAILED. Even works on STOCK.
If you want MMS over WiFi Calling you MUST use a SENSE rom with the SENSE WiFi calling App.
The AOSP-wifi-calling-on-CM10 'nut' has not been cracked yet, and CM9 has not been updated with the fixes from CM10.

Well... I tried all that, and it didn't work... But this does.
Essentially, you have to merge the APNs, following the steps below, and your MMS will work as it should. It's an issue that impacts the stock Sense ROM as well - which is why phones that shipped configured for a separate MMS APN (as mine did) may have issues with MMS-over-wifi on stock firmware too...

There is one thing I did differently - instead of re-writing the 'APN type' line to exactly quote the line in the TMO article, I simply added the comma-delimited items that were not there, while leaving the ones that are on my Amaze but not shown in place...
Eg, I added:
,mms,dun
to the end of the list, rather than removing anything from the list that wasn't in TMO's article... And it works...

Very interesting, I'm working right now or else I'd test and confirm it myself. I've always been under the assumption that mms over WiFi was not possible on our Amaze.
Can anyone else confirm this to work? I'm in a WiFi available environment all day so this would be pretty convenient for me.
Also op... Has this fix caused any other issues? Lol seems like with HTC, when you fix one thing - it breaks something else

No other issues.
I am able to use both the Sense MMS app recommended in the Dev thread for Speed Rom as a 'fix' (which did NOT work for me), and the ICS/AOSP one.
ETA: Testing further... Having some issues with AOSP MMS app when the Sense one has been deleted...
It just plain works.
I live in a completely DEAD zone for ALL carriers, so WiFi calling is a must-have.
By using these instructions (only one APN for all services, configured as per that article with the change I noted) I went from being UNABLE to MMS *AT ALL* (either sending OR recieving, on WiFi, HSPA(+), *or* 2G/EDGE), to having full MMS capability on any app, regardless of what network tech I was using.
It works both out on the data network AND at my house where WiFi calling is the only way to get service.

Wow... That sounds pretty awesome and important to MOST of us amazers.
I will get to try this after work and update later tonight.
Thanks in advance man!!

Further testing...
Last night, after getting this working, I was kind of excited to have it & thought the stock app should have full capabilities alone...
So I deleted the IcedBullet Mms.apk (3.xMB Sense version) and put the ICS one on alone...
This killed my MMS-over-WiFi and the ICS app (from a Nexus system dump) couldn't send MMS but could recieve them...
So I'm going back through and identifying WHAT EXACTLY is required for MMS over WiFi, and in more detail what works...
It seems that Mms.apk has TWO pieces of software inside it - the MMS 'service' that allows 3rd-party MMS clients to send/recieve MMS... And the MMS 'client' (Sense or AOSP)....
With the IcedBullet Mms.apk AND the TMO-recommended APN changes, MMS works over wifi calling and data, with any client app (eg, you can run the AOSP app alongside the Sense one and it will work, Handicent will work, etc...)
Without the IcedBullet (Sense) Mms.apk (e.g. with Mms.apk from the Nexus installed as the primary MMS app), MMS only works over data, and very slowly/poorly...
SO: To make this work, you need:
1) Sense MMS.apk, installed as 'Mms.apk' in your /system/app folder. I am using the 'IcedBullet' version recommended in the Speed Rom DEV thread.
2) You need your APN settings configured as described at the top of this thread, including deleting ALL other APNs other than T Mobile Data
3) Modifications to the above pairing result in partial or complete loss of MMS.
4) The WiFi calling MMS issue on 'stock sense' (and thus all Sense ROMs) is due to phones being shipped with the wrong APN configuration - specifically 2 or 3 APNs rather than one single one.
5) Presumably, the AOSP Mms.apk service process does not support WiFi calling because they are not designed for phones shipped with it. Remember: the Galaxy Nexus did not have WFC in 'stock' - even though IIRC CM9 has 'created' it for this phone. Thus running Mms.apk from an AOSP or Nexus phone produces the Only-Over-Data issue...
I tried this fix and it didn't work for me, but mms is working fine for me on fourth bar even with the tmobile mms APN still in place.

For whatever reason, 3rd-party MMS apps are only working for me in data-mode now. Perhaps I made a mistake in my original testing, and thought I had confirmed them on WiFi but they were really going over cell.
The 'sense' app I got from the SpeedRom 6.5 thread, however still does work for me in both Wifi and Data - this is the one I tested and confirmed at my house (which has no cell service at all) when I originally posted this.
I'm attaching the APK that DOES work in both modes...
This has only been tested on SpeedRom 6.5. My phone was previously on stock-HTC ICS. I have not tried to use GO SMS, or any of the clients besides the Stock ICS one, the Sense one attached here, and Handicent.
In my installation, Mms_Sense.apk is renamed Mms.apk and put in /system/app - NOT installed as an app.
The Mms_1_.apk that comes with SpeedRom is removed (note: For other roms, if you're trying to get this working, you probably want to remove the ROM's MMS apk - whatever it is - from /system/app).
And the APN settings are done as per the article.
I can MMS myself, MMS others, and recieve MMS over wifi and data.
I can confirm I am able to receive and send mms over wifi calling after adding the lines into the apn menu. I am only able to do this with the mms.apk from sense as handsent doesn't work. 2 thumbs up on this.

Weather apk
Is there a way to get the weather app working on v7?
Or is there another app I could use for clock/weather app?
Some app I found on the market, only works for one location.
I'm running into another issue, but with sending MMS messages that are empty.
It happened to me on the Version 7.5 and also on the CapcomCE ROM I'm using at the moment.
I can receive MMS messages. But when I send MMS, they send empty messages.
Turns out that I have to use ROOT EXPLORER from the Appstore for the messages to work. The MMS.apk I'm using is the AOSP one that came with the CapcomCE ROM. I opted for this instead of the Sense-MMS when I first installed CapcopCE (it has Aroma option to keep/remove sense and install AOSP version of apps).
Its annoying and frankly it used to work. Was able to send MMS from Sense Gallery App. Now I have to navigate with Root Explorer.
Anyone ever tested this?

Due to the fact that I'm WiFi-dependent most of the time, and the wifi-calling functionality for MMS is apparently hardcoded into the sense app, I'm kind of stuck on it...
I can confirm that 3rd-party apps still work (including AOSP-style ones from the Market) alongside it - but if you want to MMS while on Wifi you need to use the Sense app.
I have no experience with other roms besides CM9 and Eclipze's SpeedRom
UPDATE: Speed ROM 7.6

I have no experience with 7.5 - I went 7.0 to 7.6, but might be stepping back to 7.5 due to some issues...
I'll post a zip later on....
Here are the files from SpeedRom 7, to allow MMS over WiFi on SpeedRom 7.6 (and prob 7.5)....
So far they also seem to be averting the Phone.apk force-close I've experienced on 7.6.
I am still testing APNs and such to get a reliable MMS-over-WiFi solution for these versions, but I did have it working as of the last time I tried it...

Damn.. not the news I wanna hear.. trying to convert over from sensation 4g.. more more hard for me to move.. Really like the amaze. i'm really reliant on wifi calling and wifi texting.. since signal sucks at my work area.. but got TONS of wifi signal to use.. would be cool if sense mms could send mms chat then i'd be ok with it. Not pretty but at least it works.. I'll try to play with APN setting as well.. so that 3rd party apps can work along side it. At least texting works..

[Q] unlocked att htc m8 cannot send/receive mms

I sim unlocked my htc m8 and am now using a tmobile sim card. 4G network, calls, sms everything works just fine. However, i am not able to send/receive mms. I called t-mobile for help, and they told me to change my apn setting, which i did. And that only fixed my problem with 4g data(i initially had problem with both 4g data and mms) No matter what i try for apn setting, MMS won't send.
My current apn setting is: apn:fast.t-mobile.com
mmsc: mms,msg,eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
mms protocal: wap2.0
mcc:310
ncm:260
apn type: default,supl,admin,dun,mms
everything else is not set. I really don't understand why would mms not work if both 4g data and individual sms works.
Anyone have an idea?
Did you figure out how to fix the mms yet?

Hangouts Works, Nothing else for me
www1177a said:
I sim unlocked my htc m8 and am now using a tmobile sim card. 4G network, calls, sms everything works just fine. However, i am not able to send/receive mms. I called t-mobile for help, and they told me to change my apn setting, which i did. And that only fixed my problem with 4g data(i initially had problem with both 4g data and mms) No matter what i try for apn setting, MMS won't send.
My current apn setting is: apn:fast.t-mobile.com
mmsc: mms,msg,eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
mms protocal: wap2.0
mcc:310
ncm:260
apn type: default,supl,admin,dun,mms
everything else is not set. I really don't understand why would mms not work if both 4g data and individual sms works.
Anyone have an idea?

I have had the same issue. 4gLTE works just fine. I have ATT visual voicemail working. I just cant seem to get over the MMS issue.
I switched the hangouts today and that works just fine for sending and recieving MMS. What's weird is it also records what is being sent and recived into my HTC Messages app as well. However, when I disable hangouts and try to send MMS direct from HTC messages, no luck?

Don't know if you got this but you need http:// in front of the mmsc field I think.
For AT&T HTC M8 Unlocked "T-Mobile User's" Only!
For those that might not have figured it out yet: Backup your current telephony.db file and Replace it.. Unzip and Copy the file attached to: data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases with ES File Manager (Any Root Browser Should Work) then Reboot and wait till you get Data, make sure you can browse the interweb and test sending a photo to yourself!
This was achieved on my Stock Rooted AT&T Unlocked HTC M8 on T-Mobile!
Backing up stuff is always Good! Recovery and a Good Root File Manager are your friends!

Try installing SQLite Editor, Navigate and find that same file in the directory I lead you to in my first post, click on the file, there you should see a bunch of APNs/Setting.. Delete them All! They might have to be deleted one by one.. Go back into your APN Settings on your phone and add the T-Mobile APNs and you should be good to go after a reboot! I don't have the M8 anymore but, I'll try helping as much as possible!
I have Tmobile service also, does LTE work on the ATT M8 with tmobile sim?
Does it have all the bands to run without any problems?

Yes, it gets LTE once you setup the APNs correctly!

Are you rooted? Because you need to be to view or modify those files.
Also, in ES File Manager settings, you need to toggle "Root Explorer" to ON. Although, even with it OFF I believe you should still be able to view the files (just can't modify them). So I think your main problem is no root.
Well, I finally fixed my problem with not being able to send or receive MMS.
I have a AT&T M8 that recently switched over to T-Mobile. I decided to root, s-off, and changed over the developer edition ROM. I was even able to get OTA update after it was done.
I am ecstatic and exhausted after the process but seeing that I was able to get ride of that annoy AT&T boot up music was all worth it. :good::victory:
Now my follow up question is this. I now have a rooted phone with S-off. Should I worry more about security in the future? I typically only download from the Play store but I believe that there are a lot of junk out there as well. Should I lock my bootloader since I won't be doing anything like this the future?
All feedbacks are appreciated.
Please check your inbox. Thanks.

Extremely Curious to know how you solved the problem!
Hi,
I have an unlocked ATT M8 as you do. I'm in canada trying to get the darn mms working on the rogers canada network. No luck. Ive pondered de branding my phone and loading a WWE version on the cell, but I dont entirely know what I'm doing with that. Would you mind providing some direction, even if pointing me to relevant online posts that you used to learn how to do it correctly?
Appreciate any support.
Cole
PS. CONGRATS on getting mms running!

That person stated how they solved it. He flashed the Dev Ed ROM, which I believe natively supports both the AT&T and T-Mobile network. But this won't help you (Rogers).
Did you try the proper Rogers APN and still having MMS issues?

Thanks for the response. I have tried all the rogers apn settings, had a friend with an actual rogers m8 screen shot the settings with no success. Attempted adding mms specific apn settings as recommended by tier 2 rogers support. Again, no luck.
At this point I believe my only options are to try CM or see if there is a ruu toolkit that will work for rogers. To be honest, aside from one click root, im out of my depth.

I'd still keep trying with the APNs. Make sure with the carrier which APN is associated with your account, as there may be several. AT&T for instance has some 3 or 4 different APNs.
Rogers doesn't have any RUUs for this phone, as far as I am aware I don't see how CM will help, unless the ROM specifically supports Rogers and will have the proper Rogers APN pre-configured (or other things like build.prop). You may have better luck trying to find the stock Rogers ROM, or have another member here upload it for you.
