Try to go to Settings --> Wireless & Networks --> Mobile Networks --> Access Point Names --> And Choose "T-Mobile Data"...hope it works for you, because it was default on "Telkila" and shouldn't be as a default.

I had the same issue with my phone. I was told by the T-Mo rep to send myself two mms messages. Then send two to someone else. After sending the two to myself I was able to send mms messages again. I don't know why this works, but it did! Hope this works for you!

Cricket MMS help

Ok so my droidx is flashed to cricket and it does everything pretty good. Talk/web/sms/market but incoming or outgoing mms not working. Every message i send i instantly get a "No national access coverage" error. same with incoming mms. I have tried with the stock txt app and handcent. I have pushed the autostart and the u2nl files. tried the apns from anycut with all the cricket settings. Tried the ##program menu and changing the upload to 111111. I am at a total loss at what else to try. would love to get the mms working to complete this phone flash. Could it just be cricket blocking it? Had mms working on my droid 1 a few months back. any help would be great maybe i missed something. Also i am on the
$45 plan could it be i need to be on the droid plan?
You guys rock here with solutions hope you can help!
Edit:
OK phone d/l the new ota update and after re-rooting and flashing new fission i can now recieve MMS pics. I cant send them though just says sending and never moves
Have you ever had any luck sending any sort of rich message, previously?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
only regular sms messages worked. No pic or vid message have worked since i have had the phone. Always says no national access coverage error.
Has the mms info been changed completely to Cricket's details?

Stock MMS Problems

When I send an MMS to anyone on a network other than T-Mobile using the stock MMS app, the recipient receives a 10 second slideshow with the sent image in it. However, if I send the same image using Handcent rather than the stock MMS app, the recipient receives it with no problem.
Has anyone else experienced this? Using Handcent for MMS is easy enough, but I'm curious as to what's wrong with the stock MMS app. Have others experienced this problem?

The initial MMS issue was about receiving MMS, but after they fixed the Receiving MMS it created the issue you are describing

I hear you. I'll give them a call tomorrow, but the fact that mms seems to send properly in handcent but not in the stock app makes me think its problem with the apk and not t-mo's network.

Nexus 4 can't send MMS after updating to 4.2.1

After I update my Nexus 4 to Android 4.2.1, I can't send MMS.
After I click the send, there is a toast notification told me the service not available or balabala.
I am wondering whether you have the same problem for your Nexus 4 after updating to Android 4.2.1?
Thanks.

I was having the same problem but was able to resolve it. Are you using the stock messaging app or 3rd party? Any 3rd party app I was using (GOSMS, Handcent, ChompsSMS) would not send mms but then I tried it through the stock and it worked perfectly. Something happens when trying to send through 3rd party app where it decides not to work. Not sure why.

That's for stock MMS. But I after reboot the phone it seems good, but when the receiver received the photo, it was distorted.
If I use whatsapp, it worked well.
Not sure what happend for Android 4.2.1
Looks like 3rd party text apps like GoSms have to recode mms for 4.2.1. I have the same issues.
Also on GoSms "private box" doesn't work anymore.

I am having some weird intermittent MMS issues as well - stock 4.2.1 N4. When I attempt to send a pic, it perpetually says 'sending', but seemingly never gets sent. I am also not receiving most MMS pics from others, from what I can tell? Solution anyone?!?

Has anyone been able to fix this? I'm completely unable to send MMS right now. It isn't working through the stock app, I've changed the APN setting to multiple different configurations I found, pulled and put in the SIM card, no cigar. This is driving me mad. I'm on T-Mobile if that's of any assistance.
is this still an issue with the latest update? also who has group mms checked?
It's the same for me on my GNEX with GOSMS - I cannot send or receive MMS. I'll try stock sms and report back.

It's working fine on stock messaging app - I have written to the devs and suggest you all do the same!
Can not receive or send MMS on at&t media net plan. Also can not do group messaging but I'm still researching to see if that is a normal problem with Android.
*****
update - for whatever reason i had to create two different APNs for MMS and Internet and this allowed me to get group messaging and picture messages. let me know if there are other ATT people on MEdiaNet who need assistance in this.
Same here with 4.2.1 and Swisscom provider... :crying:
I had the MMS issue where it would say "sending" and remain in that state. I also could not receive MMS messages. Even on sick messaging. I called AT&T last night and they had to put my new IMEI number in their system. I had to turn off my phone while they sent a refresh OTA. Turned out back on and all good.

Finally it works! The problem was a entry that cm10 has added to the gprs settings APN-TYPE default,supl. I deleted ",supl" and voilĂ , it works perfect (entry came back but since then it works). i like my phone! :good:
What exactly does the "supl" mean anyway in that setting?
i can't seem to send any picture messages, im on rogers , it just 'hang's at sending...
I'm rooted and on stock ROM, it usually sends MMS while on 3g but on wifi it doesn't, it's just stuck on sending... Help?

This whole cant send on wifi thing is new to me. It shouldnt matter if youre on wifi or not. It still uses the cell tower to send/retrieve MMS.
same here, but a buy newer fone
I have found that on att I can only use stock app to send Mms. Hopefully a third party one will work soon.

this should fix your issues
I like many of you had this very same issue. Until fixing it tonight and testing I thought I had the elite of apn's my data went from .02 Mbps to 10mbps when I removed the WAP.Cingular stock APN. And replaced it with what users on here were using and it was a insane difference. However I never did have MMS working so I was searching all over and a post on reddit had linked my to this site on another sub forum. So I tried it and bam my MMS is working. Now if there was a way to fix the MMS slideshow thing without adding an app let me know
Here's the link to fix your issues guys:

hope you find this helpful as I did.

this is complete bull...I am beyond pissed...why does group text not work???????????? what app are you using? how does group text work on a stock N4 but not a tricked out G2...can;t wait to root this and de-bloat all the garbage
I'm using textra. Seems to work fine
I'm sure it still works on ATT... Verizon doesn't have the option either, but it still works.
negative. when I try to send a group text it just sends to everyone individually
On the verizon G2 under the stock messaging app it gives u options to send to everyone as a mms or as individual txt messages.

im on at&t and this was my issue before on the Gpro.. now i have the G2, its still the same..
on the stock messaging app i can send group text.. the problem lies when those people reply.
instead of putting their replies on the group text thread, the stock messaging app creates individual threads of each persons' replies..
it sucks but oh well.. guess i have to deal with it or download a different messaging app...

You need to enable it in settings. you also need to remeber that those you are sending to need to either have their phone support it or have it enabled as well. or use and 3rd party app like Go sms, or handcent.
i am using the stock app for now, i have it enabled and it sends groups just fine if they meet above settings...
i sent group to my wife and daughters iphone, works just like it should send and receive as group, but it didnt work to my other kids older androids, until we loaded go sms and enabled group text...
THats the thing. I don't even have that option in my settings

Verified: the ATT version does not have a setting like Verizon...completely bogus. Anyway---just downloaded textra and it seems to be working awesome. It's a new, very lean text app and has the group text option in settings. Tested it twice with and works flawlessly. Doesn't seem to be hitting my battery at all either.

I had alot of android phones samsung, htc, motorola and i didnt have to download a third party app for receiving group text.

Unable to send mms in any app on Koodo(canada)

Hey everyone.
For weeks now I have been having an issue with sending mms to anyone, nor can I receive. Im on the Koodo network here in Canada. I have made sure that my apn settings were correct. I mainly use GoSMS and when I select the image, type a message and hit send it just disappears. No sending arrow icon not even the picture itself.
I have also tried in the stock messaging app. But when try the same task, it actually crashes. My gf has a nexus 5 and she is on the Bell network and having the same issues.
Im not really sure what steps to take next. Any help would be great. Thanks.
Try Sliding Messages. It allows you to set APN in the app.

Yes so does gosms. Not sure apn is the issue as it seems like it can't even attempt to send.
