[Q] MMS and ChompSMS and AmeriCanDroid - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

I'm using AmeriCanDroid (latest release) and ChompSMS.
I am not able to receive any of my friend's MMS messages. It tells me there is a resolution or size limit issue.
Anybody facing this problem? Or should I go back and stick with stock Messaging?

It has nothing to do with the mms app. It has to with your apn...Go to your settings...wireless network....mobile networks....access points names...and check one of them and restart your phone...go back to see that the box you checked is still checked then restart your phone again...send a pic message to yourself and if you get it your good to go

HELP! - MMS on ATT

Through a series of weird events I have ended up with a gsm unlocked imagio and no VZW service any longer. No sweat I still have an auxilary line with att. I have gone through all the data settings. Destroyed the connection guardian and unblocked the server edit for arcsoft. Everything works great. Data, SMS, Sending MMS. The only issue I am running into is recieving MMS. I get the messages most of the time but they all say "Message not found". No picture, no text other than the error. MMS settings in arcsoft have been checked over and over. All the searching on the web has yielded no results. Any pro willing to help with the settings/registry tweaks required to get this up and running?
I am having this same problem I have tried about everything I could think of to get it working.
x3 on this issue. Regular text message I get no problem but MMS with pic or anything else I get "Message not Found" I can send without any issues
MMS on ATT
Same here. Very frustrating.
I am right here with you guys...same issue and all the same registry file changes made. But still yeilding the same results "Message Not Found". The one conclusion that I can assertain is that it is not opening up into the message program. The file data recieves on mine it is almost like it cant find the appropriate program to open or the file extension when recieved on the phone and points to a Verizon Specific app???
Ok since posting my last message on not being able to receive pics via mms, I have done some work on the phone and ROM-Graded to the Sense Rom and everything seems to be working fine with pic message retrieval using HTC messaging...If I go back to the Arcsoft threaded messaging mode it will not still retrieve the pics even after the ROM-Grade. So a work around if your up for it updating the ROM has helped and it also got rid of ALL the Verizon bloatware and crap too...Bonus! I have been running this way for several weeks now and it seems to really be the solution.

picture messaging problem

I am having trouble texting mesages with picture attachments and I cannot receive them. My friend texted me a 123kb size picture. When I press download it says downloading but it never finishes or even starts. I tried texting myself a pic and it won't even send it (it just says sending forever). I am running 2.3.1 (I think) so can I fix this with an update or is this problem a result of something else.
I'm not quite sure if there is an update that fixes that. But I know that there is a option in your stock SMS that auto retrieves pic msgs. Make sure that's checked. And make sure your getting data connection (signal bar should be green)
Disclaimer: not a tech genius just putting in my two cents. Hope it helps a little.

must be something wrong with your MMS settings. MMS has always worked for me on every version 2.3 up to 2.3.3.
Has your account been enabled for MMS?
I have unlimited texting on my t-mobile account. On my old phone (non smartphone) I would send and receive pics with now problems whatsoever.
I chacked the setting to my sms and I have the auto retrive messages checked. I don't see anything that says auto retrieve mms or anything like that. I have 2 green bars of signal and tried sending the pics and it still doesn't send or receive. This is frustrating.
nevermind, problem solved--I did not have data enabled or access points set.

MMS messages won't load in AmeriCanAndroid

I'm running the AmeriCanAndroid mod from this site on my HTC HD2. Everything runs smoothly except that I cannot receive MMS messages from SOME people.
I used to have a messaging program that I got from the Android Market which allowed me to change the receive settings so that the phone basically pretends to be a different brand of phone. That way I was able to download MMS messages by pretending to be a Nokia E90 or Iphone. Unfortunately I can no longer remember what app that was. (Sorry if this doesn't make much sense, I'm new to this.)
Now my issue is that I'm either using the original messaging program on the Android or Handcent but I can't receive MMS messages from most of my friends. Yet I'm capable of sending them. When I receive an MMS all it says is "<no subject>". I can press that message and select "view slideshow" but nothing shows.
All MMS work fine if I'm on the normal WinMo6.5.
On a side note: is there any way of improving the battery life? My phone never lasts a whole day without needing to charge it.

[Q] Not receiving MMS images

I am using Textra on my SGS4 and have been for a while now...
I have not had a problem receiving MMS until now. All of the sudden I get a message that I can't download a picture on Textra and when I do receive it, it is a blank black square and I can't even see it.
I have images auto-download to my Downloads folder and it shows up fine but when I tap it to open the photo, it shows a broken image.
All of the people I get MMS from are iPhone users. I finally had them send it to my on email and the image came to be over 2MB.
I have also tried default sms app, Hangouts, and Hello sms to see if it was just Textra, it's not..
APN checks out normal for AT&T, rooted, 4.2.2, I377UCUAMF3
(I also went to AT&T to see if they could do something about it but as soon as I told them I rooted they told me to basically leave... Nice)
Let me know if you need any more information to help get this solved.
Thanks!
I'd check for any MMS settings in textra. I know EvolveSMS had an option to intercept MMS and not let it go to the stock messenger and it never worked. Also try turning off auto download if it's on, since that can cause issues too.

New MMS to download with almost every MMS after flashing TMobile tomorrow.

It auto downloads, but for every message I get two. One saying new MMS to download and the actual one that comes up 5 seconds later Auto retrieve is already set, and it works. But it keeps sending the extra new MMS to download
Factory reset also hasn't fixed the issue. I use Messages app. I liked Textra but I only got half my messages so I had to go to this. I can't use the default Samsung app because messages come with an empty subject line.
