Incoming MMS not working , how to fix ?

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.

SMS sent are blank on other side. .

one of my friends is running the stock rom on tmo. This is her second hd2 as the first has issues and now this one when a sms is being sent it will send a blank txt. Has this been an issue with anyone? any help would be appreciated. thanks!!

I do have the same problem!!!!!!!!!!!!

no problem for me, did you try looking at all the sms and sending methods to see its correctly going to the server and stuff?

^ I have not its a friends and I will be checking it out later today, I guess its a problem when she sends longer sms that are more than 160 char's.

Network issue with Verizon/Altell at the moment...
Issue not specific to device type.

I think I actually had it happen too, this morning...I sent three texts to a friend this morning (yep, she's on Verizon), and they call came through blank except for the word "page"....so I think this validates that statement.
EDIT: However, she's been able to get texts and MMS both from me, instantly and completely, for the past hour or so...maybe it's cleared up now.

My buddy on Verizon was also receiving blank texts from me earlier today but they're fine now...that's what they get for being on verizon

yes it does..same thing happen to me two days ago. you need to uninstall it in order to receive text messages again

No receive ~ No lookout
I am having the same trouble now that I have 2.3.4 OTA I can't receive text... sending with no problem but can't receive. I used to have Lookout Mobile Security before so I installed it again so I could force stop and wipe date, then uninstalled... thinking maybe there was a trace of it causing this. I still can't receive texts.
I went to Verizon and they did a factory reset... no change.
I've gone through several ROMs thinking perhaps it was related... no change.
Verizon says I should unroot and come back to buy a refurbished replacement... really don't want to do that. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Doug

[Q] MMS AT&T

I hate to post, I'm usually can find answers through intense searching, but I just can't figure this out.
I have the TMOUS, its unlocked and being used on AT&T here In the US
I get SMS fine, but I cant get, nor receive MMS messages at all.
When I attempt to send pictures, I get the message "Can't Send Media content. Contact your mobile operator to adjust your settings"
I just wanna know if anyone else having this problem? Any have any ideas?
Radio: 2.15.50.14

i had the same problem, today, i thinki might have found a fix after numerous times of trying ot send apicture ot one of my friends.
make a text and attach a picture, send it to your number, you will recieve it.
now send the picture to your friend and everything should be working fine.
i tired to send a picture ot my friend about 10 times, i rebooted te phone, and nothing, then i sent it to my self, and i got it, then ii sent it to my friend and it worked.

Help please. Can't send texts

I have attic 4g unlocked running cm7 nightly build 20 on straight talk network. They turned off my data and I had to call in to turn it back on. Now my data is working fine but text messages I send out are not being received. I am not getting error when sending and it looks like they go through. I have removed sim cards multiple times and even wiped data and reinstalled cm7. I called straight talk and they said texting is activated. Don't know what else to try.

Go back to your inbox... do you see a red cross by any of your texts? If not, call your operator to see if they can see if you have sent any.
Also try sending from another phone, do they go through?
Sounds like a network level issue and not a phone one.

Great I have to speak to the non English talking people again, so frustrating
