I am now running CM11 (Android 4.4 Kit Kat Edition) on my MAXX and so far only two issues:
If you loose service, it stays gone no matter how far u go, until you reboot
SMS will NOT send any saved pictures. MMS in general just does not work.
When I attempt to send multimedia, it either says that no "APN" is assigned to be me, or that the destination address is invalid.
I was having this issue too. Mainly because of this and gps killing my signal, I'm no longer on cm. Was nice how much faster phone was and better my battery life was.
If anyone knows how to fix mms on cm11 I'd appreciate it too!

Freeze system messaging app and install this.. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thinkleft.eightyeightsms.mms

Awesome! First of all, I installed on the stock rom I'm on, because the quick reply/read option was one of the biggest things I missed from cm.
Next, what release of cm are you on? Are you running into any issues with it? And would you recommend still using jbx?

I have been able to fix mms by opening the dialer and entering *#*#4343#*#* This didnt seem to be permanent fix but kept it working for quite sometime. Found this solution back when the same problem existed on a 4.2 AOKP rom and fortunately it worked again.

Link to my more detailed cyanogenmod forum post: forum [dot] cyanogenmod [dot] com [slash] topic/89488-disappearing-apnsbroken-mms/#entry450737
I was getting the "No APN specified on this device" message on a regular basis, but searching through forums is a great help!
8sms has fixed it for me (again!), but the problem was that one of the recent cm11 nightlies wiped the MMSC setting for 8sms - not sure how that happened, but here's the info from my post on CM's forums: (sorry, still can't post links ... I've cut all the links out of this post, but if you go to forum [dot] cyanogenmod [dot] com [slash] topic/89488-disappearing-apnsbroken-mms/#entry450737 you'll see the original, with all the links and appropriate settings)
Looks like they're working on it specifically:
Code:
vendor/cm: add more verizon apns
* Because we didn't already have enough did we?
* This fixes "No apn selected for device" when sending/receiving
MMS.
(see my cm forum post)
HOWEVER - Reviewing what I did before to fix MMS (see gldickens3's post, installing and configuring 8sms), I went to the 8sms app's settings and saw that the MMSC was now blank. I set that back to (see my cm forum post) and immediately after tapping "OK" I received 3 messages. I've since been able to send and haven't had the APN message pop up.
Here is a modified list of gldickens3's steps from the other thread (link above), slightly modified because it seems some things in 8sms have changed:
1. Install 8sms
2. Go to 8sms > Settings > MMS settings and set MMSC to: (see my cm forum post)
3. Disable stock SMS
4. Reboot
Note the changes - SMMS settings is now MMS settings and Stand Alone mode is no longer in the settings (at least on mine).
If you're in the same scenario as me, 8sms already installed and setup as default, simply doing step 2 might be all you need to do, as it fixed the issue for me.
Now, I don't know why the nightly update changed 8sms settings, but now I'll know exactly what to check if the next build does the same thing.
If you try this out and it works, please reply and confirm.

Hi All
I have searched and read numerous forums posts regarding problems with MMS sending failing, all seem to point to APN settings being the cause. However, I find that unless i have a Samsung based ROM installed, whenever I try and send or open received MMS messages, the messaging application crashes and no matter what i've done, ROMS i've tried I get the same result! any CM based kernels cause it - CM9 has always done it, and the AOKP based roms using CM9 kernels as well.
Can anyone shed any light on this? Really want to get off the horrible clunky Samsung ROMS but use MMS a lot!
Agreed. I deleted all APNs and installed fresh settings from network providers website, no joy. I gave up and use whatsapp for pics. Never looked back. I'm paying for data so why not use some for pics. Hope you find a fix soon.

Try to reboot twice.. If that doesnt work you're going to have to find the apn settings and input them manually.
Try Slim ICS ROM it;s the complete opposite to clunky!
It's a really nice ROM with lots of features and is fast and smooth
I've been using it for about 8 weeks now and think I'll stick with it, so far no problems with anything at all, no FC no errors. And MMS works perfectly

Stop using MMS. There's much better, free alternatives, such as email.
I also am unable to send MMS using Swiss Orange Me Pre-pay sim. I am running Resurrection Rom 2.6.1 and Siyah Kernel 4.0.1. All attempts to add APN setting manually, reboot and clear cache and Dalvik cache and fix permissions have not solved the problem. I have changed from Kernel 3.5.2 to 4.0.1 and still no luck. I obtained correct APN settings from the Orange shop and the staff member commented that the Kernel may not be completely compatible with the network. Could this be the answer? Or is it something to do with the Rom build itself? Has anyone got the same problem on the same setup on a different network? I am aware that trying another Rom or Kernel or Sim card may solve the problem. I'm happy with my setup and send pics using email instead as I have unlimited data. I would like to know if this is a common problem.

Whilst I may use email etc, there are still times when MMS is useful, and for people not quite a tech savvy. It's also a basic feature of a mobile phone!
I am surprised that no seems to know the answer here - surely others experience this?
Just to confirm - I have tried multiple modems/kernels/roms, permission fixes etc, and rebooting multiple times. Even re-partitioning in ODIN! I have tried getting the settings sent from O2, requesting through SIM, and enetering manually; rebooting several times when rom is installed etc. Nothing seems to fix it except a samsung ROM?

If I get your question right, this is your problem:
'Only Samsung based Roms allow you to send mms successfully'
Try this solution:
- you will have to ensure mms settings is present under APN settings. Confirm if it's correct for your network provider.
If it's not correct, you will have to find it and enter it manually because Aosp messaging app cannot save configuration messages unlike Samsung messaging app.
- Reboot your device you manually added your mms settings (if not, skip this step).
- If messaging app still crash while sending mms, then use another messaging app, I recommend Gosms. It can allow you to manually link your mms settings.
Your problem should be solved now.
Please correct me if I missed anything

The current work around is annoying and nothing beats the stock message client, but for now you need to use a 3rd party one to get it to work.
1. Use a kernel that writes to /system (ask in the kernel thread if you're not sure)
2. Google search for your carriers APN settings and fill the details in: settings>mobile data>GMS/UMTS options>access point names with the APN details.
3. Download go sms pro and you will find an MMS option in red. At the bottom of the page, tick 'fill APN information manually' in the fields below you will need to duplicate the information from your android APN.
Pretty hectic just to get MMS right?
This works for GSM users in Australia and if it is worth it for you to try I hope it works for you too. Alternatively you could use Virtuous ROM which is based on a Butterfly firmware, which is in fact a GSM phone! MMS works fine on this ROM with stock apps.
Good luck friend
Hello,
I recently updated my phone's hangouts app to the 2.0 version. (Not through play store, through the reddit thread) And after doing so, I decided to uninstall the stock messaging app provided with the phone. And then I flashed CM 10.1 and did the same. My problem is, I can't send or recieve any MMS messages, and when I attempted to re-install the stock messaging app, it force closes. Is there any possible fix to this issue?
Thanks in advance,
Jake

Great suggestion, my only problem is that I've tried that. When I was using the 8sms app every time I would "receive" an mms, my phone would display "No apn on this device"
Anything for that?
In 8sms settings under multi media mms scroll down to MMSC Settings/open and enter http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms
In 8sms settings menu all the way down did u check Stand Alone Mode? After u froze/deleted system messaging?

I know way back in the CM 7 days, I had a bunch of issues with Bluegrass Cellular and MMS when I used CM. I fixed this by updating my APNs and flashing a modified Misc.img. I still have this Misc.img from my HTC Desire CDMA phone, but now I have a HTC Deluxe. Is it okay to flash that same file and see if it fixes the MMS or does anyone else have a better idea?
CM Nightly cm-11-20140508-NIGHTLY-dlx.zip
I am unable to SEND and RECEIVE.
Don't try the Misc.img. But you should just be able to add the APNs. If you don't have that option, then look at a 3rd party SMS app that allows you to add your own MMS settings. Ones that support this include but are not limited to:
Go SMS Pro
Hello SMS
Easy SMS
Chomp SMS
Textra
Handcent SMS
Sliding Messaging
Pretty sure those all support it and there's probably a couple more floating around there too.

Thank you very much for your reply... But I have already added the APN settings from what it was years ago. Not sure if there is a way to grab them off a nandroid backup, but even after adding those APN settings, I still can't get or send anything.
Well what messenger are you using? If it isn't working with stock, then try a 3rd party alternative. This is not uncommon with CM for CDMA devices as typically CM is built for GSM and then adapted to work with CDMA. Sometimes there's little weird things like that. Did you check in the thread for the rom you are using to see if other users are reporting similar problems? It's also possible the APNs are different from GB to KK. That happens often.
Okay, I tried using Handcent SMS and manually set the MMS settings and I still get the same thing.. Sending..
Isnt there a site that lists all the APN settings so I can make sure they havent changed? Or is there a way to get them from the stock nandroid backup?
And yes, I looked there and there was only 17 threads total, and there was nothing about MMS.
Did you do a clean or dirty flash? Users are reporting issues while dirty flashing that breaks MMS. Also, a few were having problems using 3rd party apps, but got it to work by adding the settings to Hangouts and sending via there. Another option is grabbing the /system/etc/apns-conf.xml from your original rom and moving that to the same folder of CM, make sure the permissions are set and reboot. Most of the sites with APN settings are only for GSM as typically most people don't need to mess with them for CDMA stuff. I found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671592
and
http://forum.melbia.com/bluegrass-c...ar-apn-settings-for-iphone-android-t1011.html
for the actual settings themselves, though do not know if they work for KK, being that threads were from a year or 2 ago.
Well not sure what has changed but now I am getting "service not available on network.". And I have already followed those posts. I actually posted on the first one years ago.
I'm not trying to be difficult, just nothing is working

Google Messenger App will not send or receive MMS on Lollipop ZV8. It was working fine on ZV6. Every other texting app I tested works fine. All I could find online was deleting unused APNs, but there only appears to be one on this phone.
Has anyone managed to get it working?
Thanks in advance.
I had the same problem just re/uninstall it amd once uninstalled reboot the phone into recovery mode and wipe your cache partition(s). The reboot into your system anfd reinstall it.

Thanks for the input, but your process did not fix my issue.
I at least found some others online with other carriers that are having the same issue. I think we may have to wait for a messenger update.
Glad I wasn't the only one. I thought it was due to my Airave, then tested with the default messager app (G3) worked fine.
Seems to be an Auto-Select APN issue
This issue comes down to the APN and how the app automatically selects it. I found a bunch of threads where Nexus owners were having this same issue with their lollipop upgrade. The solution they used was deleting all unused APNs. I don't think our phone has this option.
I am currently using EvolveSMS since it has a Google Messenger Theme and you can manually select the APN.
Does anyone who is more familiar with setting APNs manually know a workaround for this?
Worked for me:
Stock LG (It is very ugly)
Textra
EvolveSMS (Go into MMS settings and select the Sprint APN manually)
Did not work:
Hangouts (Hit or miss)
Google Messenger
Google Hangouts has worked fine for me and yes, the stock messenger app is ugly.
Thats true, I can't wait until xposed becomes "official" and we can use xposed G3 again I will be themeing everything.

I think the problem is with the Google Messenger app itself.
But please post you APN settings here so I can have a look
Afaik, Sprint doesn't even set the APN via the OS, it's all in NV items. You mentioned you found evidence of people with other carriers facing this issue? Can you please link the thread? I'm also interested in what other carriers are having this problem.
So somehow I managed to get Google Messenger to send MMS messages.
I did a nandroid backup to include the modems.
Flashed ZV4/6 rpm tz partitions
Flashed Illusion ROM 6.5
Flashed nano gapps
I ran the Illusion ROM for the better part of a day and decided to go back to BarePop so I restored my backup and voila, it works. I'm not sure if it had something to do with flashing the zv4/6 rpm tz partitions or not, but it works. I originally flashed it to get GPS working on AOSP working which it did.
If you do think it is apn related follow this quick min guide by me:
Download shortcut master
Press the 3 dot menu button and click "search"
Then search for this "com.lge.SprintHiddenMenu.iot" it should be the first thing click on it
Then once in the app/menu click LTE settings>Apn settings
Then add new ones ect...
