Ok...this is my first ever post on this forum, so please don't shout at me if the answer is "easy" to find. I've been looking and looking and I've finally decided to post a question.
Is there a fix, for the tiny, thumbnail size mms pictures I receive on my HD2, which is running Coredroid's rom (previously WM 6.5)?
My phone provider is not TMOUS, not T-Mobile, it is O2 in the UK.
I would be thrilled if anybody could help. I really, really like this rom and I want to be able to send and receive properly sized MMS pics.
Thank you.
O2 don't recognise the default android mms useragent.
On cm7 roms there's an mms useragent setting in messaging, settings, extra settings,, but I don't think its there in all roms. I set mine to spoof an n95, works fine.

That sounds like a great solution. Unfortunately, I don't think I have a cm7 rom and I really want to sort the mms size out. Maybe I'll have to re-flash with a different rom, which seems a shame, cos I am thrilled with this one, after using WM6.5.
Thanks for your input.

i just flashed my 8525 yesterday with xda live and i have a problem. I had to manually input my MEdiaNet setting (i have cingular) and also my MMS setting in order to be able to download pictures. ANd in the "servers" tab under the mms settings i choose 'new' in order to input the correct settings but after I hit ok it doesnt do anything? which leaves me with no mms capabilities since the correct settings do not exist. I love the new os that was released yesterday( xda Live) but i need your help on this one!

There is a sticky at the top of the page to report issues with the XDA Live ROM have you posted this message there? The guys that worked on the ROM may only look at that thread for issues??
Re: MMS capability after rom flash
After several research attempts, I am unable to find a solution ot my current issue.
I used the flash rom to unlock sim and aside from the keyboard layout being changed (which I found the fix for and will try later tonight), I lost mms functionality.
There is no mms folder in the messaging application. There is no mms settings page, no mms anything at all.
I have not noticed anyone else having this problem.
Any ideas?
Thank you all very much in advance.

I was able to get it working by installing a cab file called arcsoft composer Z ( u can find somewhere in the posts) but when i installed that my text messaging stop working! so once i uninstalled the composer Z software my text started working again and i found my mms setting were available for editing... its just happened to work out like that i guess....
I have read a few subjects on this board about tiny picture messages after recieving my first X1 MMS just the other day. All the settings here seem to be for TMobile US...
...o2 seem to deny this is their fault, does any1 have a fix for me?!
im sure someone else in the UK has been experiencing this problem....
i have but the valkyrie rom fixed it..
I assume the MMSFix cab fixes it though, as far as i know it tricks the mms server into think it's an N95 or somethin and sends it full sized pictures
Editing the registry fixes this. My post in another thread:
I take you are using a generic ROM? My mms was fine when I was on the original O2 ROM, but then when I upgraded and went generic my mms pics were tiny. Turns out that is because operators put in custom mms settings in the registry, otherwise it gets default mms settings that are years old, hence the tiny pictures.
It's quite an easy fix, have a look at post 14 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...picture&page=2
I am on O2 UK using a generic SE Rom, and changing the registry as per those instructions fixed it perfectly. My recieved MMS pics are now a good size. L11 is right, it tricks the MMS into thinking it's an N95.

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

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

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.
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!
Other Roms I can send/receive MMS without much problem. But with Fenny or Insane I can not send MMS with the default app or with Hangouts.
I can send plain texts with both, just not MMS.
I would rather use one of these 2 roms because I need to be able to use the screen mirroring with my samsung tv which I havent found functional on any other roms.
Would love any suggestions or tips, on what in particular with these 2 roms prevents me from sending/receiving mms while others and stock do.
Thanks

I remember trying that with Fenny, am trying Insane now so will try again.
Settings->Connections->More Networks->Mobile Networks->Access Point Names-> There is nothing listed here
I will find out the GCI apn settings and add them and test it.
Well that didnt help, but I found another location that did.
Hangouts->Settings->SMS->Access Point Names-> had 2 options both of which I recognize as local phone companies, the GCI one was slightly different than they had listed on their website so I changed it to what it should be and successfully texted myself a picture.
Sent my wife one and will see if she gets it as well.
Edit: I haven't successfully sent her one yet but I think its just our crappy edge network at fault, I have successfully received one from her, so I think it is probably working as good as it is going to.
Is there a way to get it to work over wifi connections? we are both usually connected to wifi so that would be more convenient.

Hi mate ,
Check with your phone company which APN settings are the right ones , even if you use WIFI the data need to knows where to go.
SMS and MMS need the APN , apps like Whatspp do not they can go thru wifi
