Can't send/receive mms while on 3G.

I've tried sending an mms and my phone sits there and never receives it. The same thing happens when I try to send an mms.
I've tried restarting the phone and/or doing the airplane toggle (I do it every morning after I take it off charging anyway.)
I can get it to send/receive IF I connect to 4G. But, I can only connect to 4G while I'm at work, and the signal is really crappy, so it dies often.
I'm running SRF 1.1.0 and VisionKernel.
I can't remember the last time this has even worked though.

Try updating your prl and profile...
Settings/About/SystemUpdates/Update Prl or Update profile or both
Also have u deleted the stock messenging app?
What messenging app are u using.
Also another thought is that maybe the mms service is down for a moment or 2 try waiting a bit and tru again or try one of the above suggestions.

Thanks, but that doesn't apply to my situation. I can send/receive sms all day long without any troubles, ever. MMS is the problem I'm having.

Just for laughs, call Sprint and see if there is a 3G outtage in your area. This happened to me a few weeks ago and it was a 3G problem not my phone. Looks like there is a problem with 3G in my area right now. Words with Friends keeps getting connection errors. Works on 4G though.

I am going through the exact same thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im glad im not the only one I was able to recieve and send jsut fine but now I can only recieve only on wifi or 4g, im on boost running 2.2 ec05 stock rooted, you might be sprint but I know all my proxy information is put in correctly because it was working before,I cannot send out and also my prl does not update and prl I was thinking about odin'ning down to 2.1 to see if that fixes my issue, while on 3g I just get download unsuccessful and when trying to send message just sits there and then after 20 min red x in handcent, I still have stock messaging

Same here,Its crazy,started last night when I recieved a joke when on wifi (mms),then on the road I tried to send it (passenger ) on 3g,no go,so I sent a regular text,that worked ; I had just removed htmlVeiwer.apk,ODB.apk and androidExtension.apk and I was going nuts,installed those again and thought wow,that didnt work... So I would love to know why all the sudden I cant,but my brother can on his epic,and we live in the same house.

yea that is crazy And i didnt remove anything I kept all original stock info

Apparently it's Sprint yet again. 3G was out on my phone for over an hour today and then just popped back on. Texts wouldn't go through on 4G either.
Do you BONSAI?

Try this.. download apn backup and restore from the market..
Backup your apn. It makes an xml file.
Open it. Inside that xml there is an mms gateway.
Delete that, save as something else.
Keep your original xml file.
Goto apn backup and restore.
Choose delete apns. Then restore apns.
Choose the new xml you made.
See if that works. If not you can always restore the original bckup you made.

Ok guess what,SprintAndroidExtension.apk will break this if removed also,that took another hour to figure out,I had 4 files I had to narrow down that I removed last night. So my MMS is working again.

[Q] TXT Grr!!

First of all apologies if this has been covered before.
My son in law got himself a new Atrix yesterday and so far he is very happy with it. Exept any txt messages he gets keep coming again and again about every 1/2 hour this has been going on all day and I am the one he is blaming as I was the one who recommended the Atrix to him.
If anybody has had this problem or anyone knows the answer I will be much obliged as the way things are going I will not get any sleep tonight.

Sounds like someone is using SMS Bomber to send him repeat text messages. Download Anti SMS Bomber from the market, and make sure it runs all the time, that should do the trick.
Anti SMS Bomer - https://market.android.com/details?id=org.baole.antibomber

Is it the same exact text message over and over? I had this happen to me last night, except it was the same exact text coming from my girlfriend.
I turned off my phone for the night and the next morning I received about 30 text messages (all from her) saying the exact same thing. I solved it just a little bit ago with an SBF flash.

This happens to me anytime my phone is off or in airplane mode and someone texts me more than once. The first one sent comes over and over again.
You don't have to SBF flash.
With the phone on, pull the battery (and I reseat the sim, but that's probably just silly) and pop it back in. I usually get the message one more time and then any that were queued up behind it.
I use GoSMS but I also got it with Handcent... Stock doesn't seem to do it.

Oh. I had mine with the SMS app (from GBlur). I think I had a total of ~170 messages from her saying the same thing. I did all of that and even tried separate SMS clients but nothing worked except an SBF flash

Thanks to one and all for your advice.
We sorted it in the end by phoning Orange and they advised the pull battery while the phone was still on. After re-boot they pushed all the queued up messages. Up till now things are looking OK but S-i-L is a bit reluctent to try messages.
I think he is either going to try the Anti SMS Bomber or SBF flash, it's up to him I got into enough trouble for recommending the Atrix. He is now trying to do a swap for my SE Xperia Arc. (Thinking about it).

That does fix it... it is of course subject to happening again if he gets a message while the phone is off. Fairly easy fix though, i've never had to have them push my messages. My wife sends me enough that she pushes them for me
Totally trade him!

Yes, it still happening with me. Try to disable Cell Broadcast on Wifi & others configuration menu...
Mine doesnt have this menu, but i edited it on settings.db and still spamming the sms.
@Edit
Look at HERE

Ive had the Atrix since launch never had this problem, my buddy who i recommended the Atrix started getting 20+ same text two days ago. Then yesterday I had the same problem for the first time. We both called Att, they were useless. The problem resolved itself for both of us last night. A bunch pushed through all at once. No sbf no battery pull, but if it happens again I def will pull battery. No duplicates in 24 hours, glad thats over. My phone was definately not turned off or in airplaine mode when it started.

This all points at a network level problem. Why would the phone redeliver its own texts?
We had this with another phone here at work a while back when someone was abroad and it was a network level issue that caused it.

We were able to disable Cell Broadcast through Wifi settings don't know if it will help but don't think it will do any harm either.
beatphreek I am close to closing the deal.

I agree, I'm assuming it's happening when sending to you fails somehow, out of range or no signal or whatever (airplane mode, shutting down system) and the request gets stuck.
Sad that AT&T can't get that fixed though.

Okay so no duplicate text since I posted yesterday, or, two days ago.? Just sent my buddy (^who also had the prob^) a text asking it he had gotten anymore duplicates. I received three back that said "no". I sent one saying, "are you joking?". He called and asked if I was f***ing with him, hes getting duplicates of my messages also. So the issue went away for 48 hours and came back when I mentioned it!! *facepalm
Pulling the battery doesn't help! The issue resolved itself before w/o a factory reset so I am hesitant to do one. I agree with the thinking that it is a network issue. What would you do XDA friends?
EDIT: Im on 4.1.83 GladRoot GingerBlur. He is on 4.1.83 GladRoot NO GBlur. Im using Handcent and I think he is too.

I Still with duplicated messages... thats making me replace atrix for anything else... just atrix have this insue.

I'm happy to say that since I last posted on this thread there have been no more mass duplication messages
I am extra happy about that as I did the swap and am loving My Atrix.

Yes i was, but I uninstalled it recently. I am no longer getting duplicate texts. my friend IS still having the prob. Att has sent him another Atrix, we are going to copy his apps to the new phone soon and see if they stop.
Is there an issue with RCB on the Atrix?

Interestingly im running that too. I haven't seen the issue in a week or so but next time I will try disabling it too. I know everytime it gains root access it FC's the Voice Commands app.

No voice or text but 3g?

hello everyone, im having some weird problems.... let me start off by saying that i bricked my phone(full brick tried everything wouldn't go into dl mode) a couple weeks ago and sent it in to have it fixed. well i got it back but now i cant text or call but i can use data(i found that odd) so i odined EL30, checked my settings, plugged my phone in and used QPST to check everything was right in the cdma, cdma-2 tabs and everything still matches up with my doner incognito... i dont get it.
list of everything ive tried
- Double-Triple-Quadruple check everything in qpst matches(i even had old backup's i made and text/voice still wouldn't work)
- delete and restore apns(unrelated i think but i still tried)
- update profile+prl
- check qpst again, just to be sure
- reboot
- factory data reset
idk guys...maybe im missing something simple? HELP
EDIT: update, idk what happened but my phone JUST got some texts that my friends told me they sent around 9 hours ago. sadly it didnt magically fix itself and i still cant send messages or make calls(and i presumably cant receive messages at least not in a timely fashion). if this gives any incite on the problem figured id let you all know. also data still works

do you have an airrave? If you do, reset it.

an airrave? i googled it and if you mean router looking thing then no i dont have one

Out of curiosity, what area do you live in? I'm in the West burbs of Chicago, and both my wife and I were having issues with calls and texts yesterday evening. Havne't noticed anything so far this morning, but it could be a Sprint problem, not a You problem.

Call Boost, tell them the issue (leave out the programming, be simple and say you can't call or text) what they'll do is reset your line, and if the rep is too stupid or hasn't done that before, suggest it.

ill try this tn when i get back from classes, this sounds like a possible solution

Randomly stop getting texts, then they'll all come at once an hour after I reboot

It happened to my while i was on Xylon and now on paranoidAndroid, i'll be texting back and forth with someone, then suddenly I won't receive texts from them, and none of their texts download until a reboot. They still receive all of my texts and I receive calls just fine, so it's strange.
Any ideas how I can even troubleshoot this? I wouldn't even know how to reproduce the issue. And I don't think it's a data issue because I always have full bars when I'm home.

I've been having this issue randomly. Are you on at&t? I'm wondering if it's a network issue.

Yes I am on AT&T, but I've been with AT&T for years and not had this issue so I'm inclined to believe that it's the phone. Also I don't think I've ever had this issue before I flashed custom ROMs, but again i'm not sure.
I've had MMS issues since stock though. Sometimes they wont send, sometimes they wont download.

SMS stopped sending

I can only speak for the AT&T D800 G2 but I can no longer successfully send SMS texts by using either stock app or hangouts. Both fail every time, but still allows me to receive them. I've factory reset about 6 times and same issue. I'm bone stock running "d" release unrooted. Only things that are working are data based SMS programs like whatsapp and such.
Anyone else have this issue with this phone on any carrier?

I had this problem like two weeks ago. I too have the AT&T LG G2 and my texts stopped working but I can receive both texts and MMS. Every time I tried sending I would get a fail. I tried restoring back to stock and clearing everything but nothing seemed to work. I went to AT&T and they changed my SIM card and that fixed the problem. I also tried changing the SMSC number but that didn't change anything, it still failed to send.
The funny thing is that i was able to send pictures but not send texts lol
So the only thing that can fix this is getting a new/replacement SIM card.

Yup...Same exact problem to the T, forgot to mention the images going thru. So the new SIM worked without further issue? Have you noticed weak LTE signal also while having this issue? Mine seems weak and will stay in 4G where it should be picking up a LTE signal

Yeah for some reason with a new SIM card everything was fixed to normal, if not better! I just went to AT&T and I told the lady my texts werent going through but I was able to recieve texts and she was like 'Oh that sometimes happens, we just need to issue you a new SIM card' she changed the SIM card, tested text messages out and all worked fine.
As for LTE, my area has full LTE coverage, so even with the text issue my LTE signal was strong (about 3-4 bars)
So yeah, go get your SIM card replaced (they will do it for free) and everything will be back to normal
