What carrier are you on? It's probably because the ROMs you are trying do not include the proper APN settings for your carrier.

I'm on t mobile and it's roms I used to run as my daily driver they started acting up all over a sudden.
my slutty nexus 4!
SMS does not required data plan. MMS does need data so make sure the APN is correct.
Disable voice+ ?
I asked about a similar issue (couldn't send SMS messages) with CM10.2 in a thread earlier today and someone pointed out to me that I needed to disable/freeze the Voice+ app that has been included in recent ROMs if I was in a country where Google Voice didn't work like the UK. After doing this, it was possible to send SMS messages.
In the US it may be necessary to edit its settings to get texts going via the usual SMS route.

Thanx I'll try it out later if it works

Also make sure the "service center" number is correct. It's the number your sms get routed through by T-mobile.

im sure that there might be a thread for this already ..... but ive been lazy and i havent asked sprint about it ... but is the touch capable of mobile to mobile picture messaging .. everytime i wanna send a pic the selctions i get are only able to send to email... i cant select to send to a contact... is it jus cuz i cant figure it out or is the touch incapable of mobile to mobile pix messaging
mms is not yet available on sprint. in the future, you can use the search button located on the top right of this page.
there is, but since you're lazy about it maybe you should try kngtut79's advice and try searching.
you can use dashwire. I am on Bell CDMA in Canada and it allows you to send a sms to your contacts as a link to the picture which is the closest I have come to so far. Hope that helps www.dashwire.com

Verizon MMS requires data usage to send or recieve pictures and video. I am specifically looking for a program to send and recieve MMS messages without using data. The program linked above, called sMMS, does it without using data.

This will not work for you then, it still uses data, and you need the Sprint Picture Messaging, which is of course not available for VZW users.
Verizon charges you for a MMS like it's a SMS. If not it's $0.20/msg, the package for, I believe, 250 SMS is $5/mo.

I have unlimited texting, but was told that smartphones on Verizon don't use MMS, instead they use data somehow.

I`ve been trying for a couple weeks now to get MMS working on my Touch. I got a thread going but no luck in fixing it. I came across this today though http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35616. I called Alltel after I changed the setting, but the MMS network happened to be down at the time, so I don`t know if the setting work since nobody could send any at the time. The representative talked to the advance service tech and googled it as well, but neither could figure it out. I`m gonna call back tonight ( they said the network should be up by then) on a different phone to see if they can diagnose it. It kinda sounds like a problem with flashing roms. I know it worked for me before I started flashing, but it also happens even when you flash to an official alltel rom with a locked phone as in the case with my brother`s touch. When I upgraded his radio his stopped working. Perhaps its a network problem, hell I read that Sprint took it away from there users.
i am t-mobile user. and installed app - wm5reloadls
so i set up regional korean as well
recieved sms from other phone is no problem...
but i trying to send sms to someone then i got reply from t-mobile
which is
Unable to send message to 19177777777.
Please try again without a symbol in the text
i was typing korean,,, so i guess korean input is symbol, anyway
send english is no problem...
i search from other blog to fix this problem, and i did, but still not working
they ask me to set up and check box from sms setting
(use unicode when necessary)
i did............. no working as well....... damn it.....
help me....... to fix problem brother or sister
Hi!
Just registered to answer your question...
You need to upgrade the firmware of your iphone.
I use the 4.0.2 version and the "symbols" work and before it didn't (I had the same problem as you).
It's better if you use the 4.0.1 or 4.0 since the MMS doesn't work on the 4.0.2 yet...
Save all your contacts, SMS, Calendar, Notes, etc etc before doing that!
You'll have to restore your phone first and then upgrade to the version you want
Since you use Tmobile, you'll have to go thru the process of jailbreak and unlock.
Take care.

Boy are you lost lol This is for the HD 2 not the Iphone
To my knowledge the problem is you are trying to send a message to a network other than tmobile.
I'm using tmo USA right now,I can send a message containing symbols(characters) to a tmobile usa device but not an AT&t account.
And as you said, receiving messages is not a problem though.
thank you in advance. I have an LG g2 d802 which I purchased through Amazon. The phone was working perfectly in the US with AT&T. I then brought the phone to Venezuela where I tried using SIM cards from two different carriers. With both carriers I have the same problem. When sending or receiving an SMS message, whichever app I have set as the default app crashes with no way to send a report, just a dialog box saying the app crashed. I tried wiping the phone from the phone's settings user interface, as well as installing t w r p and wiping from that. I have tried 2 different firmwares for the 802 which I found on the internet, with different version numbers of the system, and still the same problem. Does anyone have any ideas of what I could still try at this point to get messaging working?
Thanks
Greg
wow! No one has any suggestions? Anything would be appreciated!
Can you logcat it maybe? Try to pull out your simcard, flash the right kk basebands flash the rom and reboot and reinsert the simcard again maybe it works normally then. I will think of some ideas and i will repost it here again.
Maybe you need to do some build.prop modifications to set the region or what. Does your phone says to which cellular network is connected?
thank you so much! The phone has no sim card, and you can't pull the battery. I did install wildcat and I'm seeing a lot of errors relating to the telecommunications database not being available. Now I'm seeing things like 08-22 12:01:32.128 E/DatabaseUtils(1583): ¿at com.android.providers.telephony.MmsSmsProvider.getThreadId(MmsSmsProvider.java:1332)
thanks again for the reply. I believe the phone was originally from Singapore as it had SingTel apps on it. I have tried flashing a few stockroms from other regions but nothing has worked. I'm going to have to read up about the KKbuild and build prop as those are new terms to me.
Update - I tried using build prop editor to change the locale region from u_s to venezuela and it keeps default thing back to u_s. Maybe this is part of the problem? I did use the phone on a_t_&_t network before bring it to venezuela.

yes my phone does show the network it is connected to, and I can make calls just fine and I can even use the data connection. there are two carriers here in Venezuela for which I have SIM cards, with one of the carriers I am able to receive the carrier's SMS messages which show my remaining prepaid credit, but other messages from other sources crash the messaging app. With the other SIM card I have, even the messages from the carrier crash the messaging apps. So with one carrier it almost works.
I'm in a part of the country with very poor internet but in early September I will have good access and can download roms etc and can follow the instructions you gave me. Thank you! Greg

Thank you so much! That did it! What's interesting is that before installing that app my phone would not automatically get the APN information from the sim cards. I had to enter it manually. After installing the app now the phone gets the APN information from sim cards. So not only does installing that app fix the problem with messaging crashing, but it restore is the proper interaction with the sim cards. Obviously that app contains something that's missing from the stock l_g firmware.
After trying to flash a few custom roms (CM, AOKP) on my CSPIRE S5, I realized that I have service, but cannot send any sms messages. Im not sure if its because the rom I am using is not meant for cspire devices or im doing somethinf wrong. Im sorry im a noob, its my first android phone after switching from an iPhone 4s. Thanks in advance
You probably need to input new APN (access point name) into your network settings. You should be able to find them and a guide on your network providers website or Google.
Check in the Settings > More networks > Mobile networks > Access Point Name

The app does not have my carrier listed and a Google search for my apn yielded results but they didn't work.

Hi,
APN settings are used for MMS messages and Internet access. It does not affect the SMS function.
SMS setting is just the SMS Center Address, that is stored on your SIM card (not on your phone), so typically it will not be affected by changing a ROM.
Try the following:
1- Put the SIM card into another phone and test SMS, to make sure your SMS function works fine.
2- On your Android phone, download another 3rd party SMS app (e.g. GO SMS...) to see if it works?

Of course yes.
I was wondering if there was a way to get SMS and MMS to work over wifi with any app other than verizon messages. I've been a big user of that since they incorporated individual sounds for contacts. However, their most recent update has made MMS stop working entirely so I've gone back to Messenger for now. But last night I was at a bar with a friend and for whatever reason, inside the building a VZW signal was impossible. Outside the building it was fine....but inside it just dropped out. Wifi worked fine, but I was unable to send or receive any messages. Hangouts I cant remember if it could handle wifi for sms or not...and hangouts is not playing the correct sounds I select for contacts on my 6p.
i'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who used verizon messages that had mms stop working since that latest update. Of course they won't support the Nexus 6p, so I think we're stuck in a waiting game for now.
If you use Google Voice, you can use Hangouts for calls/sms/mms over WiFi or mobile data.
No.. I don't use Google voice. I've had my number far too long to switch to a Google voice number. I like the stock app.... But having the ability to text over wifi was nice with Verizon messages. I had a nasty exchange with their tech support. They kept telling me the same crap. I had to tell them as a nexus owner I'm not a tech idiot. It's on their end and started with their update. Fix it. Of course they continue to tell me it's my fault some setting isn't enabled when it is.

Just to respond to your google voice question. I had a number for almost 14 years. I ported that number over to Google Voice for 20$ one time fee and forwarded my google voice to my cell phone number.
I've been scouring the web for an old version of Verizon Messages and am coming up short. I'm hoping that by installing an old version, it will fix our issues. I'm going to try contacting the developer.

it is available on apkpure site. You can find many old versions. Just do a quick google search and you should find it.
Search Term: Verizon Messages APK
If I can find my S4 and charge it... I can use apk extractor to grab the old version of my S4 from before my nexus arrived. Also might be on my N7 if that hasn't automatically updated.
Big thanks to chichu_9! Inwas able to get last month's version on apkpure and now mms is working again, over wifi and vzw network. I just can't update the app anymore
Thanks @chichu_9 I got the apk from apk pure and all is working well again. Thanks.

yes, that is the version that I rolled back to on my phone and it has been working over wifi. MMS group messages have also been working.
I have 6.02 as well and everything is fine. I received an email from the VZW messages app team and they are aware and "working" on the problem
Adblock plus is blocking mms as of now. Remove it and mms will be back.
I don't have ad block and MMS is still not working on VZW messages. I'm completely stock. It's a problem with the latest update. According to Verizons email they sent me.. "we are aware of the problem and working to correct it"
