Are there any ROMS out there that have working MMS ? I have tried a number of them and no luck. I know these are labors of love but it's such a vital part of the phone itself to be left on the back burner. The only ones it works for me are 2.1 v's 1,2 & 3 every other ROM i tried it's always the same thing, no soft button lights, no trackball lights, no MMS. I've tried every fix offered under the sun & it just doesn't work, OR it might work, 18 hours later.
From what i have read it looks like half the people have no problems & have are in the same boat as me.
any suggestions?
thanks
I use sense-able and have no issues sending or recieving mms msgs
the MMS fix is quite simple. What ROM are you using? I know that in the EE thread there is a link to ivans-apns and instructions on removing your current APNs and installing the APNs from ivans rom.
I have working MMS on every rom I have tried except for one .....
Thanks for the 411 and I must say that name gave me the first laugh for the day "Cornbreadfarts"
Fn Funny dude.
well last night i loaded ZenEXP-Eris_Rev6-fixed_mak, i hadn't seen that one before and it looked very stylish. The overclocking isn't so important but i like the apps2sd. Followed all the instructions including flashing the mms fix also cited in the thread. I should have tried it our right away but i began to get comfy with the rom then when i remembered, bingo, same thing. Attaching even a very small photo gets a generic network error, it'll try 4 times to send it then stop. With other roms, sometimes 18 hours later it'll suddenly go through.
before this I'd tried evil eris, lightning, Dvanilla2fast, vanilladroidv1, fresh 2.1 & aloysius, all with the same result.
every rom has their own little quirks, evileris would seem to stall for a while then suddenly go through all the motions of your frantic thumb presses while u thought there was something wrong. I tried all the solutions offered also with the apn's in the evileris thread but still the same thing
the zenexp seems to restart itself at random times and does not come out of landscape mode after taking a pic. I have to press settings, then back & it resets itself
I like the variety in the various roms and the little extra bells & whistles that the developers add it's just this 1 issue really for me. I don't make a lot of calls and i mostly text back & forth to my daughter in NYC. Recently a loved pet of 13years died but beforehand i couldn't send her any pics of the cat in the days previous.
I guess i'll look for this sense-able and try that. I just don't get it though, we are all using an eris, it should either work or be broken for everyone right ?

ZenEXP-Eris doesn't restart itself at random times out-of-the-box, you must have installed or modified something that's causing that error. My releases go through a somewhat rigorous beta testing before they see the light of day - at least since Rev5 - and we've only seen minor issues upon release of them.
As for the accelerometer (the "not coming out of landscape" issue you refer to), that's a known bug in Rev6 that was found after releasing it. It is fixed in Rev7.
At the begining of my ZenEXP-Eris thread, I state that you should read the entire thread twice before flashing. This is so you know what you're doing, what to expect, how to make things work properly and what bugs are present in the ROM. Obviously you didn't read my entire thread, or you would have found the MMS-Fix, which is located about 6 lines below the ROM download
On a side note, Rev7 includes the MMS Fix built right into the ROM, no need to flash the MMS-Fix through Recovery like you do now for Rev5 and Rev6. You'll be able to enjoy Rev7 (hopefully) tomorrow (if not the next day).

Sorry, I thought I had been clear, I did read the whole thread and did dl & flash the mms fix zip u attached. I'm only reporting on the problems I'm having. This isn't a personal attack on you.
As I said, I understand these are labors of love and I wouldn't report something if it didn't happen. I have had 3 occasions where it restarted itself and all 3 times all I had installed was vignette, meebo, Google translate, shopper & barcode scanner.
Thank you for your reply

I'm sure it wasn't a personal attack, but I'm not sure why you're telling me that?
Anyway, if you installed the MMS fix, you should have working MMS. The MMS fix hasn't failed anyone that I know of and I used it myself on Rev5 and Rev6. Did you boot into the phone and set it up after flashing the ROM, but before install the MMS fix? The file the MMS fix installs gets overwritten during the first boot, which is why you need to reboot before installing it.
I don't use any of the apps you've installed, so I can't attest to their compatibility with ZenEXP-Eris. What I recommend you do is backup your data, go into Recovery and wipe data/cache/dalvik/ext, then re-install the latest release of Rev6, boot into ZenEXP-Eris and set your phone up, reboot into Recovery and install the MMS fix. Before installing any applications test it all out for a few hours, the proceed to install them one-by-one, leaving an hour or so in between installs until you (possibly) find what is causing the issue.
I'm really sorry to hear this issue persists for you but, as I mentioned earlier, you're the first to report such issues, thus the reason I suspect something else as the culprit
Feel free to PM me for one on one support if you need it.

edit: Also, regarding your softkey lights, they only turn on in dark areas. Hold your finger over the light sensor to the left of the earpiece speaker to see them light up. In ZenEXP-Eris the jogball LED doesn't function, but I have mapped notifications to the charging/power LED in the upper-right-hand corner of the Eris as an alternative, for now.

Hey,
There are several out there that work. Ivans are typically good to go out of the box and most if not all the Sprint based roms will be good to go by using the apn fix. Its a trial and error thing just find a rom that you like and give the thread a good read.
Most all the posted roms now have an mms "fix" or are good out of the box. I know it gets a bit disheartening flashing, setting up, wiping, flashing etc...lol...but thats the joy of a rooted handset...trial and error till you find a rom and dev you like well enough to stick with.

I actually did exactly what you said. I downloaded all the files first then i formatted the sd card, toggled, loaded the rom & the mms fix, wiped the handset (reset & dalvik), flashed the rom. When it loaded I set up the phone, power cycled & booted to recovery, flashed the mms fix and restarted the phone.
I wanted to make sure that apps2sd was working to i went to the market & installed vignette (excellent photo app) and the usual google made apps like translate, shopper etc
it was after all this I remembered the mms, so i tried it & nada.
I'm about to reformat & wipe now so i'll see what happens
I'm having a problem that has me stumped.
YouTube
Earlier in the week, I noticed that I was unable to stream YouTube videos over mobile data. I could launch YouTube and it would bring up the top videos. I could search and it would get me results. I could not however get anything to actually play, when I choose a video it will just sit at the loading screen, and my bars will turn grey. I will not get a mobile data connection back until I back out of Youtube. I confirmed this issue with several different videos while in different parts of the state, so it isn't limited to a certain video or tower.
Google Talk
If I am at the main screen that shows who is online/offline, usually this will display properly. However as soon as I pick a name and go to send a message, my bars will turn grey and I will lose my data connection. It will not come back until I back out of Talk. Sometimes after this happens I can reopen talk and it will sit at the main screen for a while, get mobile data back, and display who is online and who is not. Most of the time, Talk will not work again until I force close it.
Edit: Talk will not disconnect until I actually send a message. The message makes it through most of the time, but then I lose mobile data. This results in Talk saying "Lost connection to Server. Messages will be sent when online."
I am on CM7 Nightly 20 with the stock CM7 kernel since the day Nightly 20 was released. Just to be safe, I did a full wipe in Fastboot erasing the following partitions before re-flashing: userdata, cache, webtop, system, boot.
I am unsure when this problem started. I know that YouTube worked last weeks, but when I think back, I can't remember the last time Google Talk worked while I was on mobile data. Note though, that while on Wifi everything works just fine.
I'm at wit's end here. I'm going to wipe the phone again and install stable Ba2tF and just Google Apps, and see what happens (after I flashed Nightly 20 earlier today I had the Market start spam reinstalling my apps before testing Google Talk - though I did get to test it and have it lose data after just a few apps were installed).
I'm on 30P for the radio, AT&T, Western Massachusetts, any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
I was going to post the same exact problem. The problem only appears over cellular. Over WiFi, everything works fine. Also, I just reflashed stock and it works. So it would seem to be a problem with CM7 and/or AT&T.
I'm going to get a good logcat of what's going on after I narrow it down a bit more... my current log is 1MB, which as about 2 minutes of info. I'm going to try to narrow it down to just the few seconds from when I hit "send" to when I get disconnected.
Hopefully at that point someone smarter than I can figure out what's going on.

Just thought I'd chime in and give some feedback. Tested this out on Weekly #2 both with wi-fi and regular data and everything was working as it should. I've been through a few different versions of CM7 and have not run into this.
Have you been using the same gtalk .zip each time? Maybe try re-downloading it along with your fresh install? Also, have you re-flashed your radio?
And here is a logcat capture. I force closed Talk, started the capture, launched talk, connected, pressed on my roommate's name, and lost my connection. The part that says "<SNIP>" is where my email address was.
I'm going to upload it here, then start to go over it myself.

Yeah, the GAPPS package ROM Manager lists as newest is still 20110828, which is also listed as newest on the Cyanogen Wiki. I never re-downloaded it, I've always used the same .zip everytime I've needed it... which is since Pre-Beta1.
I didn't flash my radio up to 36P when it came out since some people reported issues with it, and 30P had been working fine for me since June/July.
I am going to try to re-flash Google Apps now, this time without using the new version of talk that supports the front facing camera... since I never used the functionality anyway. I will report back in a few minutes.

I tried reflashing both AT&T radios and both versions of Talk (w/ and w/o video chat).
For me, I get disconnected as soon as I open Talk. Happens every time. I froze Talk and I was disconnected when I got a Gmail notification. Maybe it was a coincidence but either way I was disconnected so the problem isn't limited to Talk. Maybe it's a problem with the Google Services Framework.
Here is what I think is a better logcat of what happens. This time, I setup CM7 to have long press back kill the currently active process, so that I could kill Talk right away.
I started the logcat from killing Talk and hitting the home button while it was restarted. I sent one message that said "Son" to my roommate, and lost my data connection. I then waited 20-30 seconds, killed Talk, it restarted, I got data back, I sent another message to my roommate that said "disconnect", and I lost my data again.
NOTE: This is with the Talk from the newest GAPPS (fresh download with ROM Manager), but not the one with the camera support (camera crap was cluttering the logcat anyway).
Anyone who is smarter than I able to see what's going on here?

Same problem with CM7 Beta so I'm guessing there's some problem between CM7 and AT&T. I'm on AT&T in NYC.
I have a list of ROMs this does NOT happen on. I went back and restored to several points trying to figure out exactly where the problem started, and while I didn't find that, I do have a list that it does and does not happen to.
Talk Works on:
Prebeta2
Prebeta3
Prebeta4
Stopgap
Ba2tF
Weekly1
Nightly8 (likely it works on Nightlies 1-8, I just never made a backup after that and went right to 20 so I dont know exactly where the issue started with nightlies)
Talk does NOT work in:
Weekly3
Nightly20
So at some point between Nightly9 and Nightly20 (which includes the commits for Weekly3), something happened with Talk that is causing it to drop your data connection when you send message or refresh the friend list.
If any Dev happen to stumble upon this thread, I did take a logcat dump and linked it above as a txt file called "betterlog.txt" which clearly shows two disconnects while using Talk without having a lot of other "noise" in the logs from other things happening on the phone.
DK
Same problem, only I have this in Ba2tF. Odd thing is, I was running Ba2tf for some time, then all of a sudden this issue just appeared. I couldn't get it to clear, even after wiping data, caches, re-flashing etc...
Looks like this is nothing new. Check out CyanogenMod issue 3557.
---------- Post added at 02:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:38 AM ----------
Same problem in Ba2tF. I was running Ba2tF for several weeks, then this problem just popped up. Couldn't get it to clear.
Looks like an old CyanogenMod issue. Issue #3557.
I don't know if it's AT&T that changed or CM7 but the problem's gone since I started using weekly #4.
I have read thru a few threads, but they all vary so I am not sure if this is the same issue so i apologize in advance if there is a thread with an answer somewhere...I certainly hope it is not a hardware issue!!...ugh..
I recently flashed Nottach's ROM to my Atrix 4G (excellent ROM!) and was in the process of loading apps and "fine tuning" it to my style and preference when I noticed that my WiFi, Bluetooh and Data are no longer working. I didnt install anything other than a couple of apps that I have been using (GoLauncher, ADW Locker, etc.) so I am not sure why everything stopped working.
I can still make and receive calls and text messages, but I am unable to connect to WiFi ( it sees WiFi signals but it doesnt get past "Obatining IP Address"). Bluetooh enables and disables right away. And I dont see any activity from the Data icon.
I have tried reflashing the ROM, Factory Reset, Wiping Partition/Dalvik, Resetting Permissions, etc. but none of these seem to have an effect on the issue.
I have seen other posts in various forums where some one mentions similar issues and they talk about flashing the antenna via RSD to get it to work, but links to the antenna ROM all seem to be broken.
Any help in getting this resolved would be GREATLY appreciated!
FYI - My phone is Unlocked and I believe it is still Rooted.
Thanks!
Well.. after playing around with reinstalling the ROM I set the Kernal back to Stock AT&T and everything appears to be working again.
So I think the fact that I was using the Faux 1.3Ghz kernal may have caused the issue, which is odd since everything was working fine for about a day before the problem started happening.
Oh well.. i will play around with different kernals to see if there may be a compatability issue some where.
Hopefully this info helps others.
Ever since yesterday, I have been having problems with my Atrix. Yesterday, I was on CM7, but I switched over to beta 0.6.9.1 CM9 earlier today. I've had one problem that was started yesterday with CM7, and continued into CM7. It's my biggest issue:
My Wi-Fi does not work. Everytime I turn on the Wi-Fi to scan for networks, the subtext in Settings reads "Error". This is usually followed by the phone rebooting itself. This happened in both CM9 and CM7. I tried looking up this problem and didn't seem to find any similar cases. I think it's a faulty Wi-Fi radio, but I'm not entirely sure.
Everything else is problems with CM9. I've found answers on some, but I'll post them in case my information is incorrect/outdated:
1. Certain apps built in to the ROM crash frequently. This includes the Music app, Camera app, and Settings (not as frequently). The Camera app, from what I've read, is crashing for a lot of different people, so I'm not concerned about it. The Music app confuses me though, since it's only on certain albums that it crashes. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. But the album to the crashing of the app is always consistent.
2. I had installed the fingerprint-enabler.zip in CWM when I first installed CM9 and gapps, but when I go into the settings for sensor navigation, it tells me com.authentec.TrueSuiteMoble has stopped. Perhaps I either isntalled it wrong (I installed it as a .zip, just like CM9 and gapps) or it was a faulty zip, or outdated.
3. The volume up on the rocker does not work. When searching the Internet for CM9 files, I saw a .zip for a volume fix. I don't know if this is it, but I'm fairly certain it won't help, considering the volume up didn't work when I was in CWM either. If it's the rocker itself, which it most likely is, ignore this.
I'm pretty sure this is all my problems thus far. I'll update with fixes I find, or, hopefully not, more problems. Thank you all in advanced!

About your wifi. Is your Bluetooth working... if not then the broadcom chip is busted.
2. I think in they latest version you don't have to install the zip to make the sensor navigation to work.

Both are running latest Energy as it seems to be the most stable rom. We are having two issues.
First issue, we can not view or send text messages from a specific person. We have to delete the history and then we can view/send messages.
Second Issue, Same as above except the stock or any other text messaging up stop working, only through a wipe and reload can this be fixed.
Third, Both phones would not go passed the start up animation. Had to wipe and reload.
4rth, Phone will be on then turn off without any notification. Need to pull battery then it works.
There are more issues.
I'm sure this is nothing hardware related, more software related.
Is development for the Amaze dead? Most roms either still need a lot of work while others have not been updated in months.
I had an atnt S3, I loved not having any issues. ;,(
Soff?
What bootloader.?
Did you double flash? (some say it helps)
Here is my process
Super wipe
Flash
Fix permission
Boot
Boot
Flash again
Fix permission
Boot
All boots are cold full boots not quick etc
If you want to flash app data etc from another rom your asking for problems
If your on tmobile there are mms issues that some roms need a fix flashed too. (dunno which tho.. I'm on wind)
If you swap mms apk's some just don't work well with our phones.. Get/use/keep the right one (as system) then add chomp or gosms or whatever
e-Sex.. All of the carpral none of the tunnel
there's been lots of new rom releases for the amaze recently since CM10 got data working, and id say speed rom or fourth bar infusion are among the most "stable" and "best" looking roms out... personally i would get a superwipe that krook6023 posted earlier somewhere in the Q&A section, flash super wipe and flash a rom or flash back to stock and start over again because it sounds like you did something wrong and what recovery are we using to flash these said roms?

I've been on NRG since I got my Amaze, and I don't have these issues. The only problem I have is an occasional lock up when using BT, but that is very rare. One thing you might do is a reset from recovery, and then do not restore the phone - manually reinstall all programs. It is possible that your restore is putting problems back into the device.
This would include not using Google to backup your settings before reset.
