Been having this problem since day one with Cyanogen.
Invariably the incoming picture mail ceases to function.
Ive gotten it to work when its acted up by resetting fixing permissions , unchecking then re checking "auto retrieve mms" , and selecting "TMOBILE" under provider listing to re register with network.
Since most of the time I have to ask people to pic mail me its extremely difficult to troubleshoot regularly.
"mms" is too short a term for seach it seems so apologize if this is an old issue.
1. Is there a specific fix to get MMS working as it should ?
2. Is there a way I can test if it works by emailing my phone ([email protected]) with a pic attached ? That never works.
3. If this is ROM specific ,are there any ROMS that dont have any sms/mms issues ?
G1
cyanogen 4.02
default messaging , handcent ,chomp have all given me the same problem...only using handcent currently.
Try sending yourself two mms messages
Tried 3 different.... only 1 came through. grrr
Noone has any ideas ?
Would upgrading my radio do any good ?
I noticed that both you guys are running old roms ...have you considered updating to 1.6 rom ,, I had issues sending mms with handcent when upgraded and I emailed them and they issued an update for 1.6 donut support. works great now

I will be trying this now that theres a one file Cyanogen. I was pessimistic about Hero roms because so many were limited or laggy.

For all I know there could be a wealth of info..but mms wont come up with anything in search.
Worst case scenario you can receive my MMS and Ill send out any you need.
for me if i am on wifi, i can never get mms sent or received. but onc ei turn off wifi and get on 3g it sends and receives fine. i missed a lot of mms because at home i always have my phone on wifi. i only know i miss them because right after an mms is sent, sometimes people sms me and say "did you get that?" and then i am aware they sent an mms.
Installed Cyn 4.1.999999999999999
STILL same issue. Ugh.
I have the same issue and I just switched to that ROM. My problem is real intermittent and in fact mine will somes times not receive regular texts, or the recipaent never gets them, or even sometimes someone will get multiple copies of my text messages all at once and I'll even get a few copies of received text messages on my phone. Just annoying.
Found this though, basically just sending a picture to your own phone.

I live in some crappy 3G coverage, so its always switching between that and edge. Something I've been meaning to try is to force the phone to only use 2G networks and see if that helps.

Did you have this problem before switching to this ROM ?
What ROM were you using prior ?

Yep, same problem. I'd say I'm 99% sure I even had this issue when I was using JF roms. I just came from Cyan 4.0.4 rom and a few of his previous roms before that.
I'm also half temped to unroot it and go back to a factory T-Mobile rom.

As am I.
Its annoying as hell to get "did you get my pic ?" or "what do you think" wondering wth theyre talking about.
Not sure if this will work for you but works for me. Only way I can receive mms from anyone is they have to type something in the subject and something in the message. If they do that I get it everytime. Might want to give it a try.

Will try..
TMo had me pull out battery then re try...it worked....till I got home.
Rep said it may be caused by a bad tower in my area pulling out battery connects me to another tower.
Sounded like BS but seeing that it worked when we tried but failed later on ..perhaps.
Id feel better if I knew this was a problem with or without Root. Im fighting my urge to just go back to stock...hate to lose apps2sd though.
Question 1: For the whole life of my current phone my 3G connection seems to refuse to download at times. The 3G icon is there but the up/down arrows won't light up even though my browser/app is trying to connect. It often times will connect fine later or after a restart. Sometimes the upload arrow will stick on but the download arrow never lights up. Has anyone else had this problem or have any idea what could be causing it? I have tried to research it many times and have always come up short.
Question 2: I never noticed this when I was running stock but ever since I've been running custom roms I have had trouble getting picture messages to download. It seems to work if I have the messaging app open and when I'm sending it to myself. But if I'm running handcent or the app isn't open and running it will say its downloading but never download. I also can't find any info on this, so anyone have some light on the issue? Also could these issues be related to eachother?
I will try restoring to stock and testing the MMS bug cause I haven't yet but even so I would like to find a fix to this on custom roms even if it works on stock.

I know this question has come up before but after searching I'm not seeing the answer or solution.
When attempting to send texts I am intermittently having them not go out. It will just say sending and not actually send. The problem seems to be corrected by rebooting but that is a huge PIA. is there a fix?
Same problem here. I updated Profile and PRL, didn't fix it.
Please post questions in General section.
Switching to Roam Only in Roam Control fixed it for me. I can now send on both Sprint and Verizon. A tad faster than rebooting.
i had the same issue using "hand cent" and "chomp" i had removed the stock messenger. i reinstalled the stock and just don't use it. it seemed to have solved my problem, hope this helps you.
i'm using straight talk with service from at&t. i'm running AOKP MR1. i've tried multiple combinations of APN's floating around the forum and every single one has eventually prompted me with the notification that says something to the effect of "error downloading message, touch to retry". of course, when i touch the notification it just takes me to the screen to create a new message, not knowing who sent the message to begin with. is there a fool proof APN at this point that i've missed? is it somehow related to AOKP? any help would be appreciated.
anyone?
I just received this same message twice. I've never had issues in the past though. All my previous picture messages sent or received uploaded or downloaded perfectly. I don't think it's the carrier though. I'm with Tmob
just happened again after thinking i had my APN all sorted out. if it's happening across carriers, is it rom related or hardware related? still running AOKP. any thoughts?

I don't know what causes the problem but I posted the solution that solved my problem on this other thread.
hope it helps
thanks, just installed that. nothing was under the undelivered section. i guess i'll keep it installed in case it happens again and see if something shows up then.
Hi, I have a strange problem. Whenever someone sends me a picture message I need them to send it twice in order to get the first message to download. If who ever is sending the picture only sends it once it will never download no matter how long I wait or how many times I click on 'download'.
I am rooted on the Telus network running Bobcat Rom v9. I had v7 and at first the picture would download but this problem eventually started, I have tried wiping and re-wiping and eventually updating to v9.
I have confirmed my apn settings many times. I was hoping that someone has experienced this before or at least heard about it. I tired searching this problem on Google and on the forms but perhaps I am not wording it correctly.
I am never connected to WiFi.
