Unlocked- MMS? - Vibrant General

So I got a Samsung Vibrant and unlocked it to work with AT&T. Data works great (as great as you can get on EDGE) but MMS is another story. I can't seem to send MMS. Any ideas on what I can do?
I use google voice as well, but that doesn't support MMS. I was hoping to send a few messages through the standard texting client on the phone, even though it would charge me per text.

You have to change the SMS/MMS settings to work with AT&T servers. Google it for the right settings.

Just had this problem, the message central phone number for att 321-314-9810 need to be set via settings in messages or you will receive fail to send. Look for reset to default and add numbet.

Switching from tmo to att I lost this setting and couldn't send any text mesages. Mms setting were fine with the exception of that phone #.

Are you sure that number is correct? The one in my phone is very similar; it's:
+1 312 314 9810
I've googled APN settings and I haven't found anywhere that gets MMS to work properly.
Any other ideas?

Go ino messaging, then settings, then left most soft key and then set phone number. Your phone number is correct.

On a similar but different note. I can't seem to download hand cent on my evo.
It doesn't even show up in the market place.
I ported a number from t-mobile and it happened the same to me I had data but no sms I made a phonecall and went thru 'activation'

I was having the same problem. The way I fixed it was by going to system updates and doing the update profile option.Apparently this pulls the correct settings down from the network.

Mms problems

Quick question, every time I send a picture message to someone no matter what service provider all of them say that there its never a picture attached or
It says unsupported file type..and rarely actually sends them an actual picture I've tried it with the stock messaging app, handcent, go sms, and that seems to make no difference at all.
Thanks in advance.

Possibly related I cannot send an MMS unless I am attached wi-fi. Need to call TMOB and complain. It 100% of the time says "unknown network problem"
Yeah, or when I get pictures finally they are smaller than a thumbnail.

You guys need to be a bit more specific: Are you stock or rooted, which rom.. etc etc etc
If you're stock - you need to make sure you're using T-mobile's APN, not simple mobile or telkila or whatever else is there. This can be found under menu ->settings->wireless networks ->mobile networks
If you're rooted on CM - you need to try changing you user string. In MMs app its under menu->settings->custom user-agent.
Good luck.
Stock, no ROM and yes rhee son is on tmo.

Call T-mobile, although they most likely will give you the standard response about doing factory reset, etc, etc
I am just not sure why would it do with correct settings on stock rom and I don't use sms/mms to run into it myself. May be someone else can shed a light?
What should the custom agent be though?
you need to fix your APN settings.
I'm running royalginger and boned up my settings the other day, here is how i fixed it..
Settings> Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names> (Menu->Reset to Default)

Google voice because?

I understand some ppl use it for voicemail only but how many others use it because sprints service is garbage where your at? Ex being that i miss 3-4 calls n bout 5-7 txt a day jus using sprint service...how do i know this? Google voice tracks calls and texts even when the phone is off (not saying my phone is off tho). Ill get notifications in gv n never get a missed call or txt thru native apps. This is very disappointing on sprints part...

yeah i use it because i get missed calls/texts sometimes. but the google voice app is problematic that it likes to freeze/doesn't send my text/ update my gv inbox.
overall, i'm happy though, and i can respond to text messages from my laptop now
I started using it when my texts would take about an hour to come in. That was on my palm centro. The web interface is best thing in the world.

It doesnt freeze for me but i quit using the app to text i jus use to to notify me of anything incoming. Kid, i feel u. it really sux once u turn gv off n miss a bunch ppl needing to contact

I use it for 2 reasons. First, so I can text over wifi. Second, so I can get my voicemail transcribed. Even with bad transcription, I can usually get the main points.

How do you quit txt if you fully went over to GV?
I use gv so I can text at work (via wifi) and when I'm not at work, I go back to using handcent.. just leave gv sending texts to my phone.. may not be optimum, but can't stand some of the quirks of the gv app...

I leave gv open to receive messages(get notifacation in gv app n turn off notify in native and go sms apps to prevent triple notifies) but i use go sms to send texts out unless i get a text fail because service drops. Then i open gv to text thru 3gdata or wifi. I do this because I get texts that i dont get thru my native text service or go sms apps but can still reveive them in gv even when not on wifi because google intercepts it. Get missed call messages also even tho my phone doesnt ring.

I have been using Google Voice since you had to get a invite to use it. I originally got it for my Archos 5, as it doesn't have a data plan from a carrier. I find it nice that when I got my Optimus s, and Epic, all of my messages were there. No having to copy messages over or anything like that. I didn't have to change my number between phones either, which is always a hassle. I love this app, and have for a longggg time.
Ever since I decided to try gv, it asks me to press "1" to accept calls when I answer them. Even tried uninstalling it, and it still does it. How can I stop it from doing that? Even still get transcribed vm in messaging too. Annoying...
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
it's easiest to change those settings by logging into the GV site, and changing your settings. If you've enabled the carrier integration, you'll have to call Sprint to get them to remove it.

you need to go into google voice and turn off call screening. uninstalling the app will still have calls going through GV

Yes you need to create a new apn. Mine and my gf was same but I made new apn and it working flawlessly. Make new apn similar to stock except put nothing in apn type field. Stock one has default, mms,* the one you make should be blank. I also changed name to T-Mobile US LTE. I just realized I could have take screen shot and avoided this sigh.

I was having the same problem with Chomp. Used your APN fix and seems only to work as long as I keep chomp from allowing message sizes to be no more than 300K. Usually it cuts down the resolution to something like 120k and the resolution just isn't so great still. Any time a message was sent larger than 300k it would send out, but upon recieving it I would get an error.
Other folks experiencing the same ?
This is what I had to do for GoSMS. I don't see issues with image resolution as big MMS is sent via their own service and MMS under 300Mb is sent via the network.
The solution is actually to change the APN Protocols to IPv4/IPv6. Everything else can be the same.

MMS issue

I'm having an issue sending and receiving mms messages, unless my 6p is plugged into a power source. It was working fine until last Saturday. I'm running stock, with the bootloader unlocked. I don't have any adblockers, and tried changing the APNs, and some other tricks people have tried on the forum. Any help or advice would be great.

I apologize, I have tried turning off WiFi, turning on and off airplane mode, enabling and disabling auto mms download. I have WiFi calling off. As soon as I plug my 6p into a power source it will download them. It isn't restricted to just pictures, or contact cards.. I also received a longer text that was sent as an mms and it wouldn't download.

Which carrier and texting app are you using? I've heard there were issues with an update to Verizon's texting app recently in regards to MMS.

The change to the Verizon app was they disabled MMS over Wifi with the recent update. You can get around that restriction by installing a previous version of the app.

I'm on Verizon, I'm using the stock messenger app. I've tried Hangout as well but same result. I have not tried the Verizon app. I know the newest update was causing issues and would have to install the previous version.

Where is a good trustworthy place to download the previous version of the Verizon messages app?
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA Free mobile app
I was able to resolve the MMS issue last night. I downloaded the Verizon messages+ app ver. 6.0.6 and tested to make sure that I was able to send myself a picture and was, I then went to my APN setting reset to default, retested with the VZW app and still worked, back to APN changed MMSC and MMS port. Reboot my phone checked that the APN setting didn't change, did a retest with VZW still worked. Opened messenger (stock app) and did a test and MMS was working there as well. So far still using messenger and things are still working. Hope that helps anyone.

Is anyone having a similar issue with Rogers in Canada? My regular text messages usually send immediately but when I send photos or screenshots (MMS), it will get stuck and won't send. Also, when these MMSs are stuck, my regular SMSs won't send either until I get a notification that MMSs has failed. Then all my SMSs can be sent. It seems like Rogers issue for not being able to process larger MMSs but I want to know if others using Rogers are experiencing it.
