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.

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.
I was not sure which forum to put this in so I am posting it here in the general section. I am trying to figure out what is going with the MMS and sprint. Sometimes I can receive an mms and it will download the attachment with not problems. At other times is never downloads. It says downloading but after 2 hours it will still be stuck. I have found that this happens on the stock rom as well as a custom rom. It happens with the stock messaging app as well as with handcent. It happens regardless of which kernel is being used. I have tried various fixes and and I always make sure my 3g is connected. I still can not find a solution for this intermittent mms issue. Does anyone else have any ideas or fixes not listed in the development and app forums?
I have a Sprint Galaxy S4 SPH-L720 "MF9" and I made these modifications months ago:
CF-Auto-Rooted successfully
Hotspot installed by TWRP
Since I've made these modifications, I will lose 4G LTE connection intermittently while tethering and I must toggle on then off Airplane mode to get connectivity back. If anyone has any insight into how to prevent 4G LTE intermittent failure or how to diagnose it further, please share. However, this isn't a huge problem, although it may be related to it.
My huge problem and the purpose for creating this thread is:
Recently, since about Nov. 1, 2013, I do not receive texts (sms/mms) until I send a text. Then after I send a text, I will be able to receive texts for an undetermined amount of time (at least 14 minutes). Basically, I can hold a conversation over texts but I must initiate it first. Then when I initiate a conversation, I receive all of the texts that have been "in queue" since the last time I was able to receive texts. Furthermore, the timestamps of these "late" texts are not the times which they were sent but actually the times that I received the texts. So I cannot tell when these texts were sent from the people texting me.
I also do not receive calls but I can make calls. I do not receive any notifications that I've missed calls. Once again, after I make a call (and let's say I hang up), I can receive calls for an undetermined amount of time. Additionally, I receive "voice mail" notifications on time so that's the only way I know that I've missed a call.
Some additional details:
I have not installed anything new that may have caused this behavior.
I'm not sure if this behavior only happens when I'm tethering.
I haven't contacted Sprint yet since they usually only ever suggest restarting/resetting the phone, which I've done.
The "towers" have been getting "upgraded" around here, so this as the cause has been what I've been telling myself up until this point. However, my mom's phone does not exhibit this behavior.
From my understanding, SMS/MMS and calling are done over 3G CDMA. So I believe this is where I should start in diagnosing the source of my problem. However, I do not know how to troubleshoot 3G CDMA connectivity. If there was some way I could "send" data every 15 minutes to be able to "poll" the server for new messages, I would settle for this ghetto "solution."
I would greatly appreciate the help!
Was this post too long to read or overlooked somehow?
SMS is dome over 2g and MMS can be done over 3G/4G/WiFi .
I really don't know what to say for your problem. As I would say to update prl and profile first by using. ##72786# in the dialer. Do this over WiFi. And don't be scared your phone will reboot twice on its own. Of this doesn't work then I would say to factory reset and go back to MF9 stock unrooted and see if that helps.

Thank you for the ##72786# tip. I've got to wait a while (referring to the undetermined amount of time in my OP) to see if it works.
I intend to upgrade from MF9 to MJA today. Hopefully either updating my prl/profile or upgrading to MJA will fix my problem!

Update: the tip did not work and I haven't upgraded to MJA yet.
I updated to MJA and problems are fixed.
[Resolved] I used the Dirty Santa method to root and load TWRP; still on what's left of the factory ROM. So far the only issue I'm having (other than the known quirks) is with SMS. MMS seems to be trucking along w/o problems. SMS was working all day yesterday then it decided to give me the no-service toast message this morning. I've been poking around the forums for solutions, but most of the search results are Sprint-specific. I think it's a PRL/APN issue, but I have to use Shortcut Master Lite to even get a peek at the info. I'm not even sure if I've been in the right areas at that. I fumbled around and got SMS working again a few minutes ago and have no idea what I did or if it'll stick. TIA for any insight the community can give me.
I'd KDZ and get back to stock. If that issues still persists it may be something wrong with your device.
I was afraid someone would say that. Have to go research the process and hope there isn't an OTA lurking about that blocks D.S.
Seems that the SMS connectivity is lost after a reboot. Wish I could figure out what I changed last time that got it working.
About Phone says mobile network is connected as long as wifi is off.
I'm almost ready to revert and root again. Does anyone have a link to the Verizon APN settings? I seem to find references to every other carrier's info except "Big Red"
Edit: Found this in a Pixel forum. ZVW APN Info
So far it seems to have worked and has survived one reboot. :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
Some texts won't come through I also am getting repeat texts. Some voicemails either. I called Sprint to refresh on there end and all of a sudden everything comes through at once. Some of the messages were 4 days old. Wtf. My first reaction is to to be pissed of at Sprint cause I can't stand the network. So my question is should I contact essential?
I was literally about to post this same question. I think it has something to do with our preferred network type/enhanced lte mode/APNs or some variation of it. My only work around for now is using Google Voice, however MMS is still giving me issues.
Maybe it is a combination of essential AND sprint! Following this thread in hopes that we can figure out a fix.
Edit: I wonder if the issue will be resolved once we receive the update. I read that we can sideload it but I haven't got around to it yet. Have you updated yours?
It's Sprint. Used the have problems with my Nexus 5 but haven't had any issues with the essential. Just as a test, check your signal when you have the issues and see if you can get the sender to do the same thing. My mom, who has terrible signal at her house, will send me double texts sometimes. But if she is out and about, no issues

I originally hadn't had this problem. Just got an RMA replacement today and was having this problem on the new one. I updated the profile and the problem seemed to go away. But I've only received 2 factor authentication texts so far so not really comfortable saying it's fixed yet.
But if you want to try it:
1. Go to Settings
2. Tap About Phone
3. Tap OMADM Updates
4. Tap update profile.
Updating prl here would be worth doing too.
OP and others, still having issues? got this phone saturday and have been getting duplicate texts.... i can deal with that but not completely missing texts.

I am still having this issue of duplicate texts. My temp fix is using Google voice and turning off the messages notifications. However, I had to create a Tasker profile to notify me when I get mms.
I've done all the updates to no avail.
I am not experiencing any of the issues being mentioned on this thread. Had my phone almost a week now and no issues at all. Texts and calls, etc all work fine. No duplicates.
