Mms problems

Quick question, every time I send a picture message to someone no matter what service provider all of them say that there its never a picture attached or
It says unsupported file type..and rarely actually sends them an actual picture I've tried it with the stock messaging app, handcent, go sms, and that seems to make no difference at all.
Thanks in advance.

And i haven't been receiving any mms messages either.

Possibly related I cannot send an MMS unless I am attached wi-fi. Need to call TMOB and complain. It 100% of the time says "unknown network problem"

Yeah, or when I get pictures finally they are smaller than a thumbnail.

You guys need to be a bit more specific: Are you stock or rooted, which rom.. etc etc etc
If you're stock - you need to make sure you're using T-mobile's APN, not simple mobile or telkila or whatever else is there. This can be found under menu ->settings->wireless networks ->mobile networks
If you're rooted on CM - you need to try changing you user string. In MMs app its under menu->settings->custom user-agent.
Good luck.

Call T-mobile, although they most likely will give you the standard response about doing factory reset, etc, etc
I am just not sure why would it do with correct settings on stock rom and I don't use sms/mms to run into it myself. May be someone else can shed a light?

What should the custom agent be though?

you need to fix your APN settings.
I'm running royalginger and boned up my settings the other day, here is how i fixed it..

MMS Problems? Sending...

So i looked around for a bit on here for MMS problems, and i couldn't find anything. When i was running WinMO 6.5 i could send MMS just fine. My friend rooted my phone with Android, and now when i send MMS it just says sending...
and never sends the message. I sent something last night, and when i woke up it still said sending...
Is there a fix for this? i do have MMS service enabled though T-mobile, and i can receive picture messages just fine. I was using stock app for the messaging, but then i though, hmm, i saw one on the market. so i used Handcent and the same problem occurred. Help would be greatly appreciated
edit; now i asked a friend to send me an MMS, and it says downloading and never downloads either!

I also have the same problem. But if you wonna receive the pictures just turn your mobile data on and then go to mms and click download. It should work but this doesn't seem to work with sending the MMS.

Same here, just need to know that modules work together with the mms.apk

Check and see if the data is enabled. That may be a solution.

The thing is I don't have data so I have it off at aall times
Edit: just turned on data for the Lulz to see If it would work, nothin :/

you have to use the ones provided by your phone carrier, he is probably on a different network so the settings wont work

Incoming calls go directly to my mailbox

hey guys,
i just got aware of an issue here. installed xylon v15 und faux kernel and set up everything so far. now im getting hints of my friends, that if they're trying to call me, they go directly to my voicemail.
dont know if sth went wrong with the change to my new micro-sim-card (had a mini-sim before) but i need to fix this asap.
but in custom roms, there is no call setting menu, so how can i fix this!?
thank you so much!!!
btw. outgoing calls function well.

They probably didn't activate it yet, happens regularly. Call your provider & check.
Edit; just saw that outgoing works. Still, call them, maybe some setting is borked.
If not try a different kernel, try Trinity for example.

hm. just calling them.
but how can i access those stock call settings?
wondering why no one misses them. i appreciate options like not sending my number in special cases.

Don't think you can. I mean a setting from their side. Can happen.

Make a backup and try a different rom, alternatively reflash your rom & gapps and see if that works.

? there is no such a setting in my settings menu.
i called the provider. he gave me some codes to typ in and call so that a possible call forwarding is disabled. and it worked. apparently they did a general forwarding to my card when the sim was changed. for whatever..
##21# disable general fw
##61# " fw when you're not answering
##62# " fw when busy
##67# " fw when phone is off
dont forget to call these codes afterwards.

So my assumption was right, good to know!
P.S. what he means with phone is the actual phone app, go in to that.

I've had some issues like this as well where I would get a voicemail notification, but my phone would never ring. Not sure why it happens. Most likely due to custom ROM/Kernel

[Q] Nexus 4 MMS problem

I have a Nexus 4 (bought from Google) with the stock ROM and it's up to date running 4.2.2 on T-Mobile USA. I've tried reading up on the problems that others are having with their Nexus 4 and MMS and no one seems to be having the exact problem that I am having. I always turn my data off so I conserve battery power, it has never given me problems with other phones in terms of receiving/sending MMS messages, data would come on briefly when receiving/sending an MMS with other phones, but the Nexus 4 doesn't do that automatically. When data is on I receive them fine it seems. For a while I didn't know why I wasn't getting MMS messages. Then I installed LightFlow lite for the LED notification colors, I gave MMS messages and SMS messages different LED notification colors. Then I would get notified only by the LED notifier when an MMS was coming through, but I still wouldn't get the message, nor was there an audible notification. Sometimes I am able to turn on my data before opening the messaging app (stock one) after I notice the MMS LED notifier blinking. Other times they will come through the next day when I turn the data on, and sometimes I never get them. This is the only phone that has done this, my Android HD2, Sensation, and other phones haven't given me any problems, whether I had the stock ROM or changed it out. The problem seems to lie in how the data from the cell tower doesn't get turned on by the messaging app when the MMS is being sent/received. If I knew how to enable the messaging app to be able to do that, then I wouldn't have that problem. I have also tried using the facebook messenger/SMS app and I think goSMS, I don't remember either one helping the situation.
Please don't respond with "well turn your data on" or "this isn't a problem because you have your data off, so you don't receive MMSs". I'm used to my other phones turning the data on when an MMS is coming through. This one does not, I like being able to stretch my battery life.
Can this be alleviated by changing out my ROM? I'm wanting to swap ROMs anyway, so I've been researching which ones I would like to switch to. The other reason I want to change ROMs is I'm having problems with other stock apps that I can't uninstall and reinstall, like google maps always says my GPS is turned off when GPS and data are both on. I can use the mapquest app fine without getting the GPS error, it's something with google maps.

Ok your issue is that those other phones would automaticlly turn your data on when an MMS would come in and then turn it back off. This has to built in on the OS level which AOSP doesnt support. You are not gonna find anything to fix this.

ok. so since it is an OS level thing.then it would depend on what the developer has done with the new ROM that I install then? Maybe I'll end up getting a ROM that would work then?

They would need to add it to the AOSP source code in the messaging app but do to the restrictions that AOSP has for programs changing system settings, I wouldnt bet on it. Non of the roms here work that way. I use AF firewall for to control data

My "auto retrieve" is selected, and always has been to my knowledge. My problem is the MMS not getting sent or received when I have my data turned off. The messenger app isn't turning on the data to allow it to be sent/received.
I do like the idea that zelendel stated about using the firewall. I hadn't thought about that.

Yeah, my plan is 200 MBs a month. I selected that, I don't need more. I only check email, facebook, forums, and do google searches from the phone, and the occasional directions. It never goes over 50 MB, unless a few apps start hogging data (geico brostache app for example). It's either ads or geico is collecting data about my location/driving. I have to kill it with my app killer after I use it because it will go over my 200MB limit after a few days.

Yeah I use AFwall donate. You can set it up to allow apps to only use Wifi or cell data, none or both.

well, thanks. I consider my problem solved then. Your advise seems solid, and it is a problem that there doesn't seem to be a simple fix for. I'll look into AFwall. I was looking for a firewall like that a while back, downloaded some awful ones, then gave up on the search.

Problems sending MMS on stock 4.3

Hey guys
so I took the OTA update to 4.3 Im on MK2 and ever since I updated I have had issues when I try to send people mms.. it could be a simple message with an emoji from the iPhone keyboard or an image..
The messages sent perfectly fine before the update. I noticed in my APN settings I only have an ATT Phone APN.. not a APN for messaging or images or whatever, is there anyone on ATT network either pre or post update that has an additional APN in there settings? Could someone post the settings for theirs if they do?
And if I'm not missing an APN then I have no idea what the deal is, does anyone else have this problem? I've searched the forums but nothing I've seen I applied to my situation and the ones that were close I tried but to no avail.
Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance,

Yes of course my network data is on. The thing is that even on WiFi the pictures require data to send so typically you send a picture on WiFi you continue to use WiFi but the data emblem will also show up while your message is sent, and even when the pictures just sit there and don't send, the data 4g lte symbol still shows and the message still tries to send..
I dont know what the issue is, but I am going to call AT&T tomorrow because it has been too long for this to be a problem on their network end.
