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

I upgraded to XXLPQ (polish) from XXLPH yesterday.
I'm now seeing duplicate (2, somebody said 3) SMS's sent to a recipient for each one I send.
Received texts aren't duplicated
Only goSMS (or handcent) is set to notify
"stock" SMS app does NOT lead to duplicates
This didn't happen in XXLPH
Wanted to check if anyone else has this issue? Next step is probably clearing SMS data or indeed a full wipe
I got the same situation here. Everything Ok with stock messaging, but with Go Sms Pro, it duplicate sms >.< Looking for solution !!
Yep, same here, though i updated from gingerbread not from an ics beta.

Same here, guess its an App issue then?

It seems more likely to be an issue with the firmware. As it affects all 3rd party SMS apps. Pretty sure there aren't issues on the nexus so possible not a general ics issue?

I have the same issue but I'm also not getting contact pictures in any third party apps.. not in Go contacts, Go SMS, Handcent, Whatsapp.
Tried them all and I get nowt but the stock app gets the pictures perfectly. I've removed and re-added accounts a number of times but giving up now unless someone knows of a way around it.
Same problem
I'm also getting the same problem.
Did a full wipe before installing the ROM
Did not restore settings for go sms, but did restore my messages
I have also tried freezing messaging in titanium backup and disabling messaging in the settings. Neither seams to work.
Has anyone had any success with fixing this?
I am also facing this problem. First i thought this might be due to GO Sms . I uninstalled GO SMS and installed Handcent_SMS .. Same problem there
Sending duplicate messages (GO SMS and Handcent)
Not showing contact pictures in messages list (GO SMS and Handcent)
Anyone got the solution ???
Not sure, seems strange!
Possibly a Firmware issue, maybe a App issue
We shall see what other ssay!
same problem here
report the issue to the devs
did so for handset via email [email protected]
supply phone info
software info
and if possible logcat
Chainfire Kernel not to blame
I still have the problem after reverting to the stock kernel (3.0.15-I900XXLPQ-CL223505 [email protected] #3)
I was hoping that reverting back to stock kernel would fix it, but that is sadly not the case.
At least we know that it's not the chainfire kernel causing it
Same problem here (with Go SMS and browsertexting).
I have emailed both devs, I would suggest everyone sending emails to the app devs to hurry things along
Strikes me as something that has changed within the firmware from Samsung,
Gingerbread Roms (Official and cooked) never caused the issue for me whilst using Go SMS its like something within the ICS firmware is refusing third part apps access to the facebook contact photos.. or maybe its something within the Facebook app that's blocking third party stuff.
default sms app is giving me issues with sms ringtones not working
Hey all,
I updated to I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_I9100XXLPQ_HOME.tar
and getting the same, default messaging app is fine, but when I have any other messaging app installed all my messages are being sent twice. I have tested this with Go SMS and Handcent, so to me sounds more like a Samsung problem.
Back to using the default app for the moment so...

No point in doing that. As this happen with all 3rd party messaging app, it is clearly a firmware issue.
It's definitely not an ICS issue otherwise the GNexus would be affected as well.

It's definitely a firmware issue but app devs maybe able to fix or work around the issue faster then it takes Samsung to correct it. Can't hurt
Pretty big bug for Samsung to cause between previous leak and LPQ and not notice
Do we have any contacts at Samsung we can report this to? Maybe someone can contact the great CyanogenMod creator who now works at Samsung to put in a small word lol

Hi everybody!
I'm also affected by the double sms bug.
I also tried to freeze the stock messaging app with titanium, BUT, now, I can't unfreeze it... have someone the same problem? have someone a solution?
titanium tell the app have been unfreeze, but it don't. I've tried several unfreezing app, with no more success.
If there's no solution, can i flash again LPQ with Odin to resolve this mess?
Thank you!
What Rom's are we all using?
Am i right in thinking there is more than one regional variation of ICS out at the moment? Does it happen on all variations or just one?
ROM: WanamLite 9.3
Network: O2-UK
App: GOSMS
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

I downloaded Sliding Messaging Pro on my Verizon Note 2 (rooted, CarbonRom 1.6) and it is a great messaging app. My only issue so far is that I cannot get MMS to send. I have tried using both of the preset APN's for Verizon that are included in the app settings.
Anybody know how I can fix this?

This is a far fetch try, but I noticed this on the charge by accident. Make sure you have the stock messaging app. If not reload it. I deleted the stock messaging app and replaced with gosms on the charge, and the same thing happened. Also if you have the stock messing app, make sure to go into it and check for the auto retrieve (not sure if this will help or not, i've just always done it)
So I emailed the dev. He said to make sure wifi is off, otherwise MMS will not work, which should really be stated in the app or at least the app description on the Play Store somewhere.

Has anyone gotten this to work yet? I just downloaded it and tried both presets for Verizon that come with it and neither work. It doesn't look like it actually changes the settings either when I click a preset.
PROBLEM:
When I try to send SMS longer than 3 pages (160 characters, I think), the sms app simply says it failed. If I split the sms in two smaller ones, it works.
DETAILS:
I use CM10.1. When I had CM9 and CM10 it also happened. But it doesn't happen in other roms.
My operator is GSM/HSPA+ capable (not CDMA, so this isn't the problem)
POSSIBLE SOLUTION:
Could anyone suggest me another replacement .apk for the CM10 default, and where I can get it?
Or, preferably, a nicer/cleaner suggestion, haha

Hmmm...here use mine modded mms.apk.....
i have modded it, now you can send multiple sms to 50 people, send sms as long as 700 sms without converting to mms, rise the mms size up to 3mb, the ability to themed mms like AOKP...
remember make backup and replace the mms.apk with proper permission (rw-r-r)

thanks! will try it through the day, at night I'll post the results
I've tested, and the phone still has the same problem. So, it's not any app's fault. Maybe could it be something kernel-related?
Does anyone have this problem too? Any ideas for solving this (that do not involve not using CM)?
I have a Live with Walkman, baseband .77 (the latest one)
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...
