I am running an alltel 6800 on cricket, and everything is working like I want (data, voice, etc) except that I cannot send SMS...recieving works perfect, but when I go to send I get the message to try again later; and later never comes.
it is almost acting like it is trying to use the old alltel info to send, but I cannot figure out where to configure this (this was what resolved all of my data issues)....thoughts?

Hey, im failty new to the rooting scene, im usually happy with what comes out of the box but i decided to give this a try.
Everything went fairly well, had a few hiccups but in the end i got Modaco 2.9 on my Telus Hero. The only thing that doesnt work is SMS.. i can't send them and i can't receive them.
I double checked my APN settings and everything is fine, can anyone help me out?
Did you update to the latest radio?
yeah
update-hero-radio-63.18.55.06IU_6.35.08.22-signed
can you make calls? sms are not connected to the apn settings or something that has to do with internet or data network at all. sms are sent in the signaling with the network, the only thing that has to be set right is the smsc address. did you check that?
yeah i can make and receive calls, i can even do the 611 to contact telus
i checked the service number, its there. Im going to call Telus and ask them to push my config on my phone again.. i had to do it yesterday because my internet wasn't working on my phone.
Hope it works
Update: Called Telus, basically i can send txts but cannot receive them, according to the SMS server, it reaches my phone but isn't notifying me i guess..
i tried, re-wiping and re-installed rom and radio and still nothing.. everything else works great.
EDIT: oops sorry for double post, firefox crashed for some reason :S
Hey guys I have a T-mobile HD2 with a 2.08 radio with the touch extreme rom. Just recently I started to have problems sending MMS messages. It will tell me that it was unable to send the message and tells me to check connection. So i go to connections and press and hole the T-Mobile connection until the connect option pops up. I press the connect button and try to send it. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt. It this the reason why people try diffrent radios or is there another solution. Any help woud be appreciated. Very frustrating.
I am having a problem now too. Had my HD2 for almost 4 months now and never had a problem until now.
I can't send or receive MMS messages. Text only works just fine but if I try to send or receive any type of audio, video, or picture message it simply gives me an "unable to send message" error notification.
I never had problems before. Tried going into settings to lower the file size limit, still doesn't work.
Help?
I'm not sure, but I think you have to add a special feature to your plan to send anything but text with t-mobile.
Since the last two or three updates within CM builds, I cannot receive MMS from my friend on the sprint network, I am on Tmobile.
I simply receive the message with an attachment that cannot be downloaded. every time I click the download button it tries to retrieve the file and fails
I can receive MMS from myself and it hasn't solved the problem
the apns seem like they have had no direct changes, is something to do with my friends phone more likely or is there a cause for this? tomorrow I will try to have someone on tmobile send me an mms to see if results are different.
need some kind of answer!!! preeeezee
recently gathered info leads me to the suggestion that it is 2.3.4 itself causing this issue, as there is a whole new box called "APN Protocol" in our APN edit menu. Haven't ascertained if there is an actual fix besides downgrading to an older build.
I am having this same exact problem. I know you haven't gotten and answer and it's been a while since you posted on this topic but i didn't want to get yelled at to "use the search feature"
no one seems to have the answer. i get mms from my sister (blackberry) and mom on Verizon. (my mom doesn't even have a smart phone) but my girlfriend with her blackberry on sprint wont come through. It shows the "download" button and it fails every time i click on it.
I haven't tried iphone users yet but seems the problem is carrier specific with my phone not playing nice with others.
I am running the latest cm7 nightly build on mytouch 3g slide from t-mobile. And using the stock message app to send and receive.
(please don't tell me to use handcent or anything of the sort, i'd like an answer to THIS problem, not just a work around)
please someone help!??
Did you try changing the User Agent in the messaging app settings and seeing if it helped?
yeah, actually tried them all. I believe thats only for sending mms so the receiving phone thinks its coming form another type of device. as far as receiving mms, no luck man
on 2.3.4 ive narrowed it down to I cannot receive MMS messages from iPhones on att or verizon. Anyone else who sends me one I am able to download.
Going back to rom in my signature
hmmm, interesting cause i can verify i get from Verizon but not Sprint. And we both have t-mobile, as far as i can see
Just wish the problem was more uniform so that it would be easier to narrow down the problem
im having the same problem with SIMPLE Mobile. it seems i can send to myself and recieve from ALL GSM carriers but CDMA carriers IE. sprint, verizon, metro pcs, do not work i can click download button till im blue in the face and they wont download...any ideas??
I fixed it, or rather it fixed itself. I backed up angry birds data (the only data that matters, otherwise my girlfriend yells at me that she has to start all over AGAIN lol) using titanium. I did a full wipe, data, davlik and cache. Then installed (at the time) the latest nightly, cm7 nightly 78. Automagically fixed, at least the people I tested (including my girlfriends, which was the initial problem) restored angry birds data and donezo. Tell me if it works for you.
Is anyone else experiencing this? I'm on tmobile..stock jellybean and stock texting app.
sometimes the MMS will go right away..sometimes they will sit for days..and then i send (or recieve) one from someone and suddenly the floodgates open all my 'stuck' MMS messages go.
i dont know this is a defect..or maybe something quirky about tmobile's network..but it seems to happen about once a week the messages get backed up like this.
never had a problem with SMS..i dont think.
Not sure why but i've had that too. The other night sending to my friend on T-Mobile it wouldn't go for hours then i resent it some 9hrs later and it worked fine. I don't think it's a N4 problem per say as i've had that with my SGS2 also. Maybe it's a ROM thing or just carrier issue but wish it wouldn't be so!
I got this experience with MMS:
- when on WiFi than impossible to send;
- only when on Data transfer MMS is send.
Try to manually set the data and not wifi and try.
Good luck.
MMS only send on mobile data connection, thus has been standard behaviour on every Android phone I've owned
makes sense. i'm on/near wifi for most of the day every day so i guess its not going to send until i'm in my car driving somewhere and regular data kicks on
Shouldn't matter as the phone wont use WIFI to send MMS if the APN has "mms" designation it it. You can watch the signal bars and see he up/down arrow in the cellular signal bars vs wifi when trying to send. At least, that's what it does on my phone yet it still just doesn't send once in a while.

did an experiment today; sent 3 MMS (while i'm hooked to WIFI) and 2 of them went..made a phone call before the 3rd one sent..and it got stuck in 'sending' mode.
2 hours later still stuck in 'sending'. i sent a text to that number ...didn't help.
I then sent another MMS..and when i did, it triggered both the new one and the 'stuck' one to go through.
so there you have it..not conclusive but it seems like maybe when its switching between voice and data it can get stuck..and the stock MMS messenging app doesn't seem to be smart enough to resend automatically. it seems like you have to 'jiggle the handle' to get it to go by sending another MMS.
it also seems sending ANY mms (not even to the stuck #) will release all the hung MMS for everyone.
So two nights ago my essential phone stopped working on the Sprint network. We did all the typical trouble shooting and nothing works. I'm able to send and receive messages, able to use data but can't make or receive calls. Phone works fine on wifi calling. Everything shows I'm on their network. Went to corporate store and they couldn't get it working even after replacing the Sim. They ordered a replacement but they are on back-order. I've tried the #*#*72786*#*# to which that hasn't worked.
Anyone have any other ideas on how to get this working again?
Thanks
