[Q] Evo on Boost How To Enable True MMS??

Hello all. I have an Htc evo on the boost network. Everything works well. The problem is the mms messaging. When I get an incoming mms message it goes to this website for.boost mobile called media mail. I have to log into the site to get my pictures...its really annoying. I just had an Htc hero flashed the same way and it gets true mms messages right to the phone. Is there a way to fix the boost media mail issue so that the mms messages go diregctly to my Evo?

i have evo on boost and had the same problem. what i did was use root explorer and deleated mms apk and mms odex from system/app, then download go sms from the market, copy that from data/app to system/app and my mms works perfect now. i would suggest downloading android mate from the market, use this to stop and locate the name and where the app is at on your phone before going into root explorer. ps google free root explorer. after placing go sms in your system/ app folder download handcent from market. this is going to be the mms. app that you are going to use to veiw the mms on your phone, turn off all notifications in go sms so that you don't try to open with go sms.

you may need the right apn...i sent them to my friend and it fixed his problems using apn backup/restore

Can you email me your apn because I have calls and sms working but no data or mms please help! Email me at [email protected]

@calvinfla, i did all of u said to do and it doesnt work. still get that 9000 media message from boost. did u do exactly what u said or maybe forgot something? let me know, pls that 9000 message is urrrrrrr.

I believe the MMS server is "mm.myboostmobile.com". The other poster had it as "mm.myboostmobile.sprintpcs.com" I couldn't send or receive until I changed it and it worked right away after I changed the server.

I have changed the server to http://mm.myboostmobile yada yada and still am not able to send MMS. I have received them and data is working, just need the ability to send. Any ideas?
I am on the 1/11/2012 Energy rom with Sense 3.5

That ROM does not have EPST capability. Are you certain you changed the MMS server?

Did you change it on that ROM or did you changed it once and then flashed to that rom? Reason I'm asking is because just because you changed it once doesn't mean it sticks after you flash a few roms or whatever.
If you want to stick with a Sense 3.5 rom and want to send MMS, the only way I've found that would work short of editing code in the Mms.apk (pretty freaking hard and takes some time) is to download GOSMS Pro (free app in the market).
Once you download that app, go to your regular messaging app settings and disable notifications on it. (if not, you'll get double notifications and that gets annoying)
After that, find this setting in GoSMS Pro...
Once you do that, scroll down and put in these settings....reboot and that's it!!

Yep, that's why I asked. It's the only way I know of also on 3.5 Sense Roms. So if you flashed that ROM the MMS server is set for Sprint NOT Boost.

Yeah is been a while since I've been on sense roms BUT last time I was on sense it was a sense 3.5 rom and it was ported over from a GSM phone so it didn't have EPST working. I don't know if that's the case NOW but the way I provided above is a sure bet with ANY rom out there for boost users!
I've heard of people using an old EPST.apk from sense 1.0 or whatever but that's a 50/50.....it never worked for me, hints the reason I'm on AOSP roms now!
Any more tips or whatever for boost...hit me up through PM!!

I am also looking for hints for boost and I have tried out a few other roms but didn't have luck installing CM7 which is the one I wanted to try. Can't remember why it wouldn't install right now though.

well, so far so good, I guess I have to use go sms for text/mms if I want to use Sense 3.5.
What are some better rom options? I like this one because most of the features work, didn't discover this until recently and HDMI isn't working but that is about it.

Correct one is http://mm.myboostmobile.com - worked for me great both ways with sense rom and gosmspro on boost mobile.

I have the same issue...
I was running Cyanogen 7 for about 8 months with now issues, everything worked flawlessly, till I flash Stock Rooted Rom 3.30.651.3-deodex-20110712-signed.zip...I just wanted to try something new, you know...well, it didn't go as planned. For some reason my phone got Verizon NAMs files or NV items somehow... or I really didn't pay attention to the ROM...but I have never used Verizon before so that was weird...so I flashed back to 4.54.651.1-deodex-20120104-signed and everything was working just fine after that except battery wasn't that stable...remember I wanted to try something new so I wanted the newest Rooted Stock Rom, so I flashed the 3.30.651.3-deodex-20110712-signed ROM again...everything worked as planned for a day and some, but today I get MSM errors...
"SMS Error
SMS Error: Message to not sent, Saved in Undelivered messages.
Please try again."
I cant get the EPST ##3282# to come up...whats up with that?...so I cant configure MMS URL to http//:mm.myboostmobile.com
Everything else is working just fine though.
This is what I got right now:
Android Ver: 2.3.5
Baseband Ver: 2.15.00.11.19
Kernel Ver: 2.6.35.10-g4b48446

Any help is greatly appreciated.

[Q] Can send texts but can't receive them

UPDATE: Full details on how I solved this problem can be found here.
I'm on CM6--haven't upgraded yet.
A couple of days ago, I stopped being able to receive text messages. I can send text messages and everyone gets them (confirmed).
I have Google Voice (GVoice) installed on my phone and if someone sends a text to that number, the phone pulls it down and displays it fine. However, if someone sends a text to my Sprint number, no go.
The only odd thing that I can think of that happened a couple of days ago was that I got an international text (from the UK) and I think it's since then that I've not been able to receive any texts.
I tried to uninstall Handcent and used the default Messaging app, but no luck. Anyone have any idea what might be going on?
Just as additional information, I called Sprint and they checked my MEID and said it was wrong and the phone needed to be "refreshed". Is my MEID # different from what they have because it's rooted?

Wait first try installing another rom. Or you could just upgrade to cm7,cm6 is too old. Then when you install another rom try texting again.

Thanks Jadden.
I think I know what the problem might be. More details here. Basically, My MIN on my phone doesn't match what Sprint has for my MSID. Confirmation these need to be the same found here.
I am going to install another ROM first--a stock one, and am following the steps I documented here.

Hey, this has happened to me randomly twice before, same exact situation. Didn't matter what ROM I tried, it just wouldn't work. After a while I found the solution was to clear all data settings/reactivate the phone on Sprint's network. I don't remember the exact steps since I'm on CM7, but on a sense rom, go into EPST, and find the option to clear the data settings. Once you do this, it'll say like reactivating service or something, and it'll be fixed. Let me know if it works or you need more help.

all u have 2 do is (if not on a sense rom):
1. nandroid once in recovery
2. wipe all (3x jes to be sure)
3. flash a SENSE ROM (not AOSP)
4. in settings, update profile, den update PRL
5. nandroid back to ur old ROM
if on sense rom, do JUST step 4
ur MEID will match once u do this... n everythi g will be back 2 normal

Sometimes the solution is super simple. Go to Google Voice settings, under the phones tab, click EDIT on your cell phone, then make sure the e text messages on this phone is clicked. Save. This turned off once on me for unknown reason. Drove me crazy trying to figure out why I couldn't get messages.

You need to update your PRL

For me, I had to make sure "Notifications via text message" was ticked in the Google Voice settings. This took me three different nandroid, PRL updates and reboots to figure this out.
I like using the EVO native messaging app and for some reason this option was randomly unchecked during some upgrade.

Same problem
I'm having the same problem as of a few days ago, and I don't quite understand what you did to fix it?
Any help would make me happy. I've been fighting with this for several days, I'm out of ideas.

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,

It should be set up right. What SMS app are you using? Your APN should look like

Yes that's my APN settings... okay well the mms have been sending more successfully recently, however sometimes they just sit there and try to send forever, they won't send or say that they failed sending either.. I am using the stock messaging app.

Do you have 4g on? Sometimes they don't send without data connection.

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.

Cyanogenmod + mms only APN not working?

Hi!
Currently I'm on stock Touchwiz, but every now and then I try out the latest from Temasek and his unofficial Cyanogenmod rom. Unfortunately I always have to return to stock again, because it seems no Cyanogenmod based rom can handle dual APN:s - one for Internet connectivity and one for MMS.
I have the Swedish carrier Halebop (uses Telia's network) and when using the settings they provide for Internet and MMS, as soon as I try to send or receive an MMS, my Internet connection dies and I get an exclamation mark next to the connectivity bars.
Is anyone else having trouble with this? I found this: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/95404/, but the "fix" (if it ever was one) seems to have been abandoned.
Note that I've tried many different sms apps, including Google Messenger, Hangouts and Textra, and they all behave the same.

Hi there! Did you find a solution for this problem? I'm stuck on every CM or AOSP rom since Lollipop... ?

Unfortunately not.. Temporary solution is to use Google Messenger for SMS and disable auto retrieve MMS. That way one can make sure to be on WiFi before downloading the attachments, so that the mobile data doesn't go down.
I think it might be a pretty rare problem, especially since most carriers only have one APN...

No MMS S4 I337M

I was able to enable my AWS and it works great,but I could not use MMS. I could text and make calls but that's it. I was on 4.4.2. I tried upgrading the modem to a few different ones with the same results. I checked with my provider that my APN settings were right and nothing works. If I upgrade to lollipop, everything works great APN settings are picked up automatically. If I go back to kitkat, I get the same results, no MMS. I'm not really fond of lollipop and would really like to go back to kitkat but I'm having this problem. Anyone have a solution or something I could try to figure this out. I searched but couldn't find anything related to.
I was using a stock 4.4.2

Working, for some reason NI2 was the only one that would work. Not sure if it has anything to do with the enabling/flashing AWS, but now working.

If you've got PushBullet or other "share-everywhere" app (e.g. Airdroid) installed' try uninstall & test MMS again. That was it on my ATT Samsung Edge4. --markfast--
