Good info
Thanks.
I saved it for records

ill try it, but i was looking into something else.. im kind of close.
basically what i did was pull the mms.apk file from a rom
someone was using with boostmobile.
then i copied it into the zip file of the rom i initially want to use.
but the messaging app crashes and i figured its because im using
stock gingerbread and that rom was created in 2010.
so Im still looking

What changes were made to the mms.apk? Could you post this apk?

Ive tried removing the sprintpcs, could it be the donor phone that was used to set up the account? I read that, that may be the issue if the phone couldn't receive pics. Hmmmm

i used a rant, what'd you use? maybe nand bckup, titanium bkup apps, and then factory reset wipe, cache and dalvik cache and start fresh with rom install. Maybe your attempts to get mms has tweaked something? the only thing not working for me is voicemail notifications from stock voicemail app----- i hear it works with Kingdom Rom though.
If your donor provides 3g i'd be surprised if it didn't accept MMS.....try it after a clean install

i change my roms every week.
i didnt flash the phone myself had it done in atlanta.
its never came straight to phone.....i was showed to follow link after it was done. no idea what phone was used.
thanks for your help...i believe i will just wait until i upgrade the phone to something else to get it done properly.
No idea when thats going to be...i just made it to $45 a month with shrinkage

are you able to "update profile" and "prl update" ?
i was thinking maybe go sms program or apn settings/port might be conflicting and that a fresh install, then before restoring apps, setting up ##3282# then testing just to confirm.
i first had my evo on metropcs and mms wasn't working then, and it sucked. So I hope it works out for ya

oh yeah also- after editing in ##3282# hit menu >commit modifications then restart
....just in case....

Hey when you guys flashed a Gingerbread rom like Lithid 2.3.4 AoSP or Kingdom Sense, did your settings for Boost carry over aside from the MMS issue? I know prior Gingerbread ROMs has EPST access issues. Thanks

I agree. If you are receiving mms messages from a 9000 number its because of your donor phone. I am using a incognito and a ppc-6700 as donor phones. The incognito receives direct picture mail but the ppc-6700 does not. PPC-6700 doesn't support mms messaging. The url is http://mm.myboostmobile.com not Http://mm.myboostmobile.sprintpcs.com

htc evo on boost mobile rooted rom, mms settings solution ##3282# not working,
I could not change the Sprint MMSC settings to mm.myboostmobile.com due to my ##3282# not working and my settings were grayed out in my stock messaging settings not allowing me to edit them. I tried qpst and cdma workshop and dfs and a couple other programs but none of them were any help. I finally used an app from the market APN backup and restore on a friends EVO first to create the backup file sent thE file to my email so I would have it, then used that file to restore my EVO settings and wallah its working wonderfully , I can send and receive picture mail without having to open download links , I have that backup file if I can find a way to share it with you I will .

Sure just upload it to drop box or any file share and add the link here

T-Mobile MMS

I'm trying to send an MMS but it never sends. It has the arrow showing it's trying to send, but it never finishes.
Has anyone else had this issue? How have you resolved this?

It could be that your MMS settings are incorrect. Have you checked to see if that's the case?
Check your APN against this:;

do you know if you need data to use MMS on tmobile?

You need data to use MMS on every carrier.

No you don't. You just have to have the right settings. How do you think picture messages were sent before data plans were available? The correct settings should be in a middle post on the link below. I used this on my GN before I had a data plan.

You don't need a data PLAN, but MMS relies completely on data to work
I remember I completely cut off data to my flip phone, and I could not send or receive MMS.
Sent from my DROID2 using xda premium

I can't send MMS on T-Mobile either. Glad it just wasn't me. I was able to receive just fine though.
Also, to clarify, you do NOT need a data plan to use MMS. With that said, MMS does rely on data to send.

Ok so from all the mixed responses I'm reading is that you don't need a data plan, but you need data to send/receive MMS. So if you receive or send you will get charged for the data that's been used for the MMS?
And what monk4life said was true. I didn't need data on the older phones I had in order to send receive MMS.
I'm so confused, everyone's saying different things

It still uses data but you won't get charged for it as it is only used for MMS purposes.

OK just to clarify and end this thread.
1) you do not need a data plan for MMS.
2) MMS uses data so you must have data enabled on your phone (in the settings of the phone).
3) You will not get charged for using data when sending/receiving MMS.
That is all.

You completely missed the point of why the thread was opened in the first place. MMS doesn't work on the N4 with T-Mobile! I haven't been able to send a single MMS yet. I believe I can receive just fine though.

I did not miss anything seeing how I do not have your issue, so your comment is FALSE! Just because YOU cant get it to work doesn't mean it is not working for everyone else.
The Stock messaging app works just fine for me sending and receiving mms on my N4 using T-Mobile without a data plan. You must have a wrong setting somewhere for your APN or make sure you have not disabled data completely. Or your not using the stock messaging app which could also be causing it as stated in the post above mine.

You wanted to end this thread because you clarified MMS does not require a data plan. However, the OP was about MMS not sending, not whether it uses data. Fortunately, the post above your post gave me a working solution. I had been using GoSMS.
Hopefully, this fixes the problem for the OP as well. Just gotta report this to GoSMS so they can update their app now.

Can't Receive MMS on T-Mo

I just switched from VZW to T-Mo and got a Nexus 4. Everyone is working perfect, but I can't send MMS's...only receive them. I've tried in both the stock messaging app and in Go SMS.
Does anyone know if there is something that needs to be set to receive MMS's? Below are my APN settings.

My setting is the same as OP.
Note: It's strange, but my data has to be toggled on in order to send MMS. I can't send any when it's off or when I'm on wi-fi.

Stock app works flawless for me but others do not.

Pushed thanks on accident.
On my G2x, it was problematic. It was APN settings that were a little off. On my i9300, nary a problem.

I'm using the stock app and uninstalled Go SMS Pro and still can't receive any MMS's....only send.
No one has any tips or tricks?

To send the fastest way is to be on 3g/h mode. To receive you can either be on E/3G/H or wifi. Make sure u aleays have a data connection if you have "auto retrieve" on.

As stated earlier, you have to have a data connection, not just voice (as with plain text messages). That explains why you have to have it toggled on.

I'm having this exact issue too (on my nexus 4) - I get notification of a text, but if it's MMS or a text to multiple people, then it's just empty. Only way to get rid of the notification is to tap the clear all notifications icon. But they come back. Quite the frustrating little problem.

Unable to receive SMS/MMS after porting to T-Mobile

Hello everyone,
I just joined T-mobile last week and ported over my old phone number to it. I'm able to receive and make phone calls just fine, but I'm unable to receive SMS/MMS messages. Oddly I can send them to my friends, and they have all confirmed receiving the messages (they called/emailed me to let me know). I was told it would take 2-8 hours on average to port my number over, but up to 48 hours worst case. It's been 5 days now.
I've contacted T-Mobile about 8 times now over the phone, and each time I'm told to check my APN settings, clear my data and cache in the messaging app, reboot the phone, put it into airplane mode then out of airplane mode. Nothing is working. Upon googling, some people have said to contact their technical department and to ask for a number rebroadcast. They're not working on this, and I hope it works as I sent and received several text messages on a daily basis, both work and personal.
Has anyone ever had issues like this? I'm scared that it'll never be fixed, and I really don't want to resort to getting a new phone number just to "fix" the issue. Some people on google in the past have said a rebroadcast has fixed it for them, while others have gone weeks without resolve. All of these horror stories were from 2009 or 10, so I'm hoping now that a few years have passed, T-Mobile has their act straightened and can fix this.

Try this: open the dialer and press *#*#4636#*#*
Then phone information.
Scroll down to SMSC and hit refresh. Make sure it reads "+12063130004",145. (Including quotations) if not change it to that.
See if that helps.
P.S. you may want to write down the smsc before you change it.

It matched exactly. Not sure what to do but wait 24 hours like they said I guess. Although I've waited the past 3 days every time they've told me they were trying something new. I really do appreciate your help though. I noticed WCDMA was selected as my primary network type, is this correct?

Yep that's correct. Wcdma preferred. One more thing to check. Is your old phone still on? That can mess up SMS as well during porting.

I ported my number from a Google voice account. Friends of mine have done this a few times flawlessly, so I figured I'd port mine over too since everyone practically calls/texted me at that number. Google claims the number has been transferred completely over to T-mobile, so it's their issue if I'm not receiving SMS messages.

Hmmm. Well I'm out of ideas. Hopefully it sorts itself out Good luck!

I don't think apn settings make a difference when it comes to your plan.
What radio are you on? Look under settings/about phone/ what are the last 2 digits where it says baseband version?

I would test it out on another phone, if that does not work it's mostly something wrong on t-mobiles side. Had a similar issue but it resorted itself out after some time when porting to t-mobile.

AT&T APN SETTINGS / MMS Can't download

Awhile back I was having an issue with group messaging and unable to download iphone users messages.
I ended up just re-doing my phone for other reasons.
Now, I am able to to view iphone user messages in a group chat, but now I can't view my husband's messages (android) in a group chat.
I've read to check the APN settings and a few other things.
So my question is what is your AT&T APN set at.
Also, do you have any issues with group messaging?

I think it's AT&T towers, of late I've had issues with very late e-mail deliveries and my voice not being heard by the other party. They have way to much traffic on their towers. Cricket, StraightTalk and a host of others all using AT&T towers.

My wife has an s6 edge and her group MMS won't download on my Moto x pure. Plain sms and direct MMS work fine. We're both on att but sperate accounts. Nothing I've tried works

My wife has an s6 edge and her group MMS won't download on my Moto x pure. Plain sms and direct MMS work fine. We're both on att but sperate accounts. Nothing I've tried works

We've figured it out.
My husband has a Note 4 and in his text messaging settings he had to change. Sorry, I can't remember what it was exactly but he said it was new in his text messaging settings. Once he changed that, it worked! I think it was something enhanced. Of course I would ask him but he's currently unreachable.
Hope this helps for now

Thanks for the tip I'll look at settings on my wife's phone when I can get my hands on it. I'll update later

Bingo! Turning off advanced messaging on the Samsung phone seems to have fixed our MMS group text problems!

I was actually told by an at&t representative that fota is a tablet setting. I would recommend removing it if you have any further problems.

fota = Firmware Over The Air
Meaning you can get OTA updates via mobile data if allowed on the server side... it is somewhat depreciated on retail devices, but has no negative effects. In carrier phones, where the OTA updates are distributed by the carrier, in some cases it can allow the update to come over mobile data where it normally would require WiFi. In order for this to work, your update application would have to request a "fota" data connection from the operating system.
I am aware this page only lists it for tablets, but it definitely applies to some phones.
BTW, I don't even have AT&T anymore... to expensive, moved to H20 Wireless.
