HTC Hero MMS? - Hero, G2 Touch General

I'm currently on Orange, modaco 3.2 rom. I've found that I can't send/download MMS images, even after contacting orange and trying to set it up again. It must be the rom, but surely there is another way around this? Thanks!

You've probably disabled mobile network, which need to be on, to download the mms images. Make sure that mobile network is on, that you manage to get a data connection up. (Settings are found under wireless)
If that dosn't work, maybe you're mms apn settings are wrong.(If you get the message, but can't download the image, then it's my first suggestion).
Make sure that you have two apn settings. One type default for gprs etc, and one type mms for mms messages

this may apply?
I have this issue at least, have to toggle airplane mode / switch between 3g/2g or reboot to recieve mms after being on wifi for some time.

After TouchIT 2.3, MMS will not work

I've been trying to get my MMS settings to work, and the T-Mobile settings configurator is no help, as it seems like the input fields t-mobiles asking for dont match what my wing says. can anyone help me get my mms settings back to normal?
Under your mms settings do you have xxx.xxx.xxx.050 or .50? I don't remember the first strings of numbers but 050 won't work...
Did you run the Network Wizard? (Under settings/Connections.)

ok now i can receive mms without a problem, but they wont send. any feedback?
i have the same problem..they wont send at all i get the icon but it stays in outbox with no error message
Did you do what I told you?
when i get my mms i dont get a notification that i have a new message but i do get the mms is downloading icon. I changed the settings and the sound to let me know but it still didnt work but at least i cna still send and recieve them
Ok i set it up correct, and sometimes i get pictures sometimes i dont. the reason for this is that the settings keep changing themselves from what i set as the default mms profile (T-MO MMS) to T-Mobile Data, and when that happens i wont be able to receive mms until i switch it back. i still havent been able to send them though-What gives?
I am having the same problem, I run the network wizard and then a little while later, it seems to switch back and I have to run it again. I can't get my data connection to stay on all the time either.

[32A] MMS and 3G cannot work simultaneously

Hello,
I'm a happy (well, more on that later) user of HTC Magic powered by CursorSense 1.2.6.1 and i have quite a problem with getting MMS messages while being connected to 3g network.
- i cannot send/recieve MMS messages when connected to 3G network
- i can send/recieve MMS messages when connected to WiFi and/or disconnected from 3g network
- Settings are ok, they're working fine on friend's HTC Hero (stock 1.5), using my sim card
- i have tried setting 'default' in 'apn type' account as well as leaving it blank
- while trying to get the MMS message i can see the 3G icon disappear for a brief second which would indicate that the phone tries to use second apn (the one for mms), but fails
- i have tried combining 2 profiles into one, did not work
- i have tried reflashing the ROM after full wipe
- it used to work, but suddenly stopped
- i have tried handcent, stompsms and built in messaging app
- i'm not using apndroid
- i have tried calling HTC help desk, told me to check my apn settings, same thing was said by my orange help desk
Anyone had a problem like that and got the solution?
I would greatly appreciate any help, thanks in advance.

First, you should check you apn setting.
Then try this: use "phone" and input *#*#4636#*#*
Phone information ->go to the last line"toggle DNS check" 0.0.0.0, if it is not allowed, please convert it to allowed.
like this:
0.0.0.0 not allowed ->0.0.0.0 allowed
Good luck!
holy ****.. i never knew about this.. thanks dude..
thank you stuart2008.
I have changed the setting you have mentioned to allow dns check but situation is still the same.
I've made some screenshots, i hope they're helpful.

OK, try this:
in the "Access Point Names",
select "MMs Orange",
then go to the last line"APN type", select it.
Change "mms" to "default", press "ok",
press "menu", select "save"
Then you will back to the forth picture's interface, select the round bottun behind the "MMs Orange".
Remember, when you want to use internet, you must change back to "Orange Internet"
Hope this is useful to you!
Thank you for your reply.
I am fully aware of how to enable MMS or Internet access, the thing is that i want them both working at the same time.
I don't even have to set mms apn to default i only have to disable my regular internet apn for MMS' to work.
Still, i cannot use both services at the same time.
I just had a customer with a non-3.5mm Mytouch 3G that wasn't recieving MMSs. I found this thread, toggled the DNS check to allow, and it fixed the problem. T-Mobile tech support has been working with her to fix this problem for a while and even replaced her phone once already. Thanks for helping me solve her problem!!

MMS Problem

Hi,
I have a small problem, when i receive an mms with the mobile data off and after i put it on the message just says "Transfering" and i'm never able to see it?
Any fix ? Without being all day with data on..
Thanks
same for me, in italy with vodafone..
Guess this is the same everywhere ....
I have another problem with the mms app ... every time i recive a mms with a photo taken from a iPhone and i want to view it it FC`s
Tho i can recive & view pisc from any other device
Same here in slovenia simobil (vodafone) tried different apn setting like emptying everything except apn url and with proxy, username password...still doesn't work. Says sending/reciving.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Are you using the power butoon to turn data off? It kills data and mms needs data so you can't get it (might work with wlan on tho). Download something like apndroid wich has keep mms option from market.
Have you all checked your APN settings? Some widgets can cause them to be lost, I had this problem.
1. you need apn mms settings to be correct. send a mms to yourself to confirm this. for some reason also on my network (optus australia), apparently you need to send an mms to yourself to activate mms, before other people can mms you 0_0 (according to tech support)
2. for some reason if mms apn is off or disconnected, and you get an mms, when u reactivate mms data, it will be stuck at "downloading".
It seems impossible to recover this kind of MMS... Do other phones allow delayed MMS??? (This is my first smartphone, i don't get many mms)
To be safe, I use apn onoff by curvefish, leaving the option "MMS on". This way, when I get an mms, it automatically turns data on to recieve the message.
I am ultra careful, cause MMS is usually a "special" msg ie. from my friends (girls) lol...

[q] cyanogenmod mms problem

I'm going crazy with the question of the MMS in this build of American Android. I'm from Spain and my phone company Telstra (yoigo). I tried everything I've read but can not send or receive MMS. The APN is correct. Not if the problem is the build or in Spain we have to change any line of buildprop. I would appreciate answering me to post it in my country.
Thanks
make sure max message size is not set above 300k
ROM default mismatch some APN data.
Try correct your APN data.
For example, in my case: MMSC rom defaul was h t t p://202.222.042.204:8002
but MMS only starts to work using h t t p://202.222.42.204:8002
Follow and type your APN data.(the correct one for your country and carrier etc)
Look carefully for any differences betewen rom default and carrier request.

The APN is correct. I have no problems with other builds. I come to think that only works in U.S.A. so I tried to change the DNS in the buildprop. This has not solved the problem. I connected and disconnected and have exclusive 2G connection on and off wifi as I read in a previous post. Neither works. Thanks for the reply. Can you think of something else?

i dont just mean teh message is actually smaller than 300k, i mean that the setting 'max mms size' is set to 300.
I cant find this particular setting in my rom, lol, but ive seen it given as a solution twice recently, I suspect the roms in question are using the tmobile 1000k default size, and those threads have reference to a max mms size setting in their mms settings screen.
reference one two

Sorry, I found the option in GO SMS, but not in the messaging program of build
Any other ideas?
I love this build. The only problem I've found are the MMS. Maybe it is a problem that must be solved by CyanogenMod guys

Hello
I have the same problem. I live in north Europe, and im running on CM 7 RC2. I cant neither send and recive MMS. I think that's something to do with ROMS, alltough I tried different ones...

MMS requires Mobile Data on
Hi,
I can send and receive MMS as long as Mobile Data is on. However, adding a MMS APN does not work; when Mobile Data is off, MMS can't be sent or received.
I've verified the Netcom Norway MMS APN settings to be correct, and this works on my LeeDroid 2.2.1 configuration. For Cyanogenmod, this does however not work. I've verified this both on my DHD (CM 7.0.0) and HD2 (CM7RC4).
Too bad, as I configured the HD2 for my gf, but she does not have a data plan...

I can also confirm on hy Desire GSM on Telstra running CM7 stable that you can only send/receive MMS if mobile data is enabled.
Can anyone say if this standard/expected behavior for Android roms on Telstra?
Today i had a problem where i couldn’t send MMS messages using my SGS Android phone. Im currently running Cyanogenmod nightly 181 so i went looking for a fix.
This is what worked for me:
1. Download root explorer (It costs a few $ from the market, but well worth it) or an equivilent and give it root priviledges.
2. Locate the following file, telephony.db: /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
and
/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db
3. Rename the file. (e.g xxtelephony.db.xx) or delete it (I deleted it)
4. Restart your phone
5. Now try sending an MMS.
That solved my problem and i can now send MMS messages again. This fix may also work for other roms, so give it a try if you’re experiencing problems.
I had the same issue in my Desire S (Saga) with CM7. Send/Receive MMS only with enabled Data APN. I tried to delete the telephony.db and restarted my phone. After the reboot mms works fine, but they set my Data APN back to default (i renamed the apn to be sure that the data connection is disabled). I renamed it again. After the reboot also the telephony.db is back.
My first test was positiv, i now can send / receive MMS. Hope that this will not change.

MMS Hell

Hi everyone,
I'm having big issues with MMS and my GSII.
I bought it from Expansys.
I live in Australia.
I've got it running on the Telstra NextG Network.
I haven't touched it in ways Samsung wouldn't approve of.
I can't send MMS messages.
I've rang Telstra many, many times and they set this up and I turned it on and off and they sent me settings and I turned it on and off and they walked me through entering the settings manually and they transferred me to the really technical team, as high as you can go on high priority.
They told me to pull out the battery and sim card without turning the phone off, and to wait three minutes and try again and if that didn't work, to contact Samsung.
Of course, it still didn't work, and, of course, I came here.
I hope you guys can help.
:s
I'm not sure what information I need to give you that is helpful here, but I've taken some screenshots that may be related to the problem.
I'd really appreciate it if someone can help me out. I'm not sure what to do if I can't get MMSs to work.

Which error does your phone give you?
Server response error.
edit:
Just added the picture showing the error. Forgot that one first time.
I had that problem sending myself a mms. Server response error. On top of the fact that all mms coming in and out was a video instead of a picture with the stock mms.apk. I installed cm7 mms.apk and everything displays perfectly and i just sent myself a message.

Mine works fine and the only difference between my settings and yours is that I have authentication type for both Telstra Internet and Telstra MMS set to "PAP or CHAP". Try changing both these settings.
I have the same problem. After factory reset mms works for a day or two then the same error appears. I am on Rogers in Canada. All default apn/mms settings are correct.

How would I go about doing this? Sorry, I'm a bit of a noob.
Does it require rooting? I want to stay away from rooting until it's simple and fail-safe.

Try this: MMS "APN" Telestra.Internet and not Telestra.mms (since mms initiates telestra.internet
I had the same problem with T-Mobile and my sgs2. I think the problem lies with the messaging app as all was fine once I changed to go SMS, problem solved.
When I am sending MMS, I turn Wi-Fi off.
I usually add Topic/Subject and some text to my MMS.
This way my MMS sending works almost 90%.
Sometimes I have to delete MMS which is in "sending" status and try again. This way I got 100% success rate. I have no errors though. Try PAP on both Internet and MMS APN settings.
Have the same problem. Try to manually enter the phonenumber to the recipient. That works for me
hey guys, ive been trawling the internet for solutions and still cant get my mms to work (cant send or receive). has anyone got a working solution? i read somewhere that the galaxy s had a similar problem and needed a combined apn for internet and mms - does anyone have this?
(im on telstra in australia)
What a Nightmare
I also had this problem only SGS2. Bought from MobiCity and running in Australia on Telstra NextG. Unable to send MMS but all other SMS and internet working fine.
I looked up the Telstra website and entered their APN settings ... No MMS.
I looked up the Telstra settings on Ausdroid and entered these ... No MMS.
I found information on how to delete APN and put internet+MMS into a single APN as suggested for the original SGS ... No MMS. Grrrrrrrrr...
I used the Telstra website to SMS the APN settings direct to the phone ... No MMS and increasing frustration.
I sent an email to MobiCity telling them of my problem, as well as what I had already tried. They very helpfully sent me the Telstra APN settings ... which still didn't work.
I tried the suggestion mentioned here to type the phone number directly rather than use a contact from my Google contacts ... finally some success.
Then, thinking 'I'll be stuffed if I am going to lookup and type the number every time's, Installed GO SMS Pro from the Market, and it just works. Looks better, improved functionity including SMS scheduling. And Free.
It makes me think it is a problem with the stock messaging app. Anyway,thanks to the person who suggested GO SMS. Much appreciated.
I've was not able to send MMS to some contacts. It was the problem with spaces in numbers just like Outlook adds after the country code. I have cleared all spaces from numbers (via Kies) and now MMS works.
MMS error was something like 'cannot connect to server'. All settings for MMS was correct (like APN, ports, etc). SMS to a number with space works. Checked on 2 SGS2 with XXKE4 and XXKF2
I have a Hell of a nightmare as well with finding what I m looking for about MMS :
I want to change sending Priority to highest and can't seem to find a way in the SG2 menu or even with an app or MOD....
I posted a new thread on this issue.... : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16892768#post16892768
thanks for any help....
For all those who are on the Rogers network, I spoke to a tech rep yesterday and apparently it is a network bug that they are aware off and trying to fix. He said to try and input the contact numbers manually instead. I tried and it does work if you do it this way.
I am not on Telstra, but do you have the correct settings in the messaging app-settings-message centre/smsc ?
That was my prob a long time ago on my Sgs1.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I had the same problem. I had to remove the country code +61 from all my phone numbers for MMS to work. Standard MMS settings work just fine.
Big Thanks

I just wanted say a big thanks for this information. I don't have a Samsung but an HTC HD2 and it appears that I was the only person on Earth who couldn't send an MMS with my nandroid rom on the HTC HD2... or there were lots living without it. Your suggestion re "PAP or CHAP" has MMS sending perfectly on my phone with Telstra NextG. Reproduceable too as I now have my wife's HTC HD2 sending MMS as well on Telstra!
