[Q] Boost Mobile MMS S4 - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Hi everyone just a quick question I wanted to know if anyone is having issues with mms that has there s4 flashed.I am able to receive but not send.When trying to send pic using stock messaging it just spins in a circle.Now it use to work following a guide from @AlpineMan a great contributor.His steps are below in a Screenshot. Iv'e also had my friend test who has a note 2 using same method and it does the same thing.I am stock rooted mk2.(4.3).Iv'e also tried using sms apps that has there own custom apn settings such as handcent and hangouts.When matching up settings same things happen unable to send.Does anyone know if any ports changed or anything changed for boost mobile mms proxy? Your help would be greatly appreciated

Were you on wifi when you tried sending? Try turning it off...ie send your MMS on 3G. I remember someone saying something changed on Boost and they couldn't send while on wifi anymore, but still works on 3G.
If it still doesn't work, try my method 2 using "8sms" messaging app. I put all the config details in the thread you took a screen shot of.

Nexus 4 can't send MMS after updating to 4.2.1

After I update my Nexus 4 to Android 4.2.1, I can't send MMS.
After I click the send, there is a toast notification told me the service not available or balabala.
I am wondering whether you have the same problem for your Nexus 4 after updating to Android 4.2.1?
Thanks.

I was having the same problem but was able to resolve it. Are you using the stock messaging app or 3rd party? Any 3rd party app I was using (GOSMS, Handcent, ChompsSMS) would not send mms but then I tried it through the stock and it worked perfectly. Something happens when trying to send through 3rd party app where it decides not to work. Not sure why.

That's for stock MMS. But I after reboot the phone it seems good, but when the receiver received the photo, it was distorted.
If I use whatsapp, it worked well.
Not sure what happend for Android 4.2.1
Looks like 3rd party text apps like GoSms have to recode mms for 4.2.1. I have the same issues.
Also on GoSms "private box" doesn't work anymore.

I am having some weird intermittent MMS issues as well - stock 4.2.1 N4. When I attempt to send a pic, it perpetually says 'sending', but seemingly never gets sent. I am also not receiving most MMS pics from others, from what I can tell? Solution anyone?!?

Has anyone been able to fix this? I'm completely unable to send MMS right now. It isn't working through the stock app, I've changed the APN setting to multiple different configurations I found, pulled and put in the SIM card, no cigar. This is driving me mad. I'm on T-Mobile if that's of any assistance.
is this still an issue with the latest update? also who has group mms checked?
It's the same for me on my GNEX with GOSMS - I cannot send or receive MMS. I'll try stock sms and report back.

It's working fine on stock messaging app - I have written to the devs and suggest you all do the same!
Can not receive or send MMS on at&t media net plan. Also can not do group messaging but I'm still researching to see if that is a normal problem with Android.
*****
update - for whatever reason i had to create two different APNs for MMS and Internet and this allowed me to get group messaging and picture messages. let me know if there are other ATT people on MEdiaNet who need assistance in this.
Same here with 4.2.1 and Swisscom provider... :crying:
I had the MMS issue where it would say "sending" and remain in that state. I also could not receive MMS messages. Even on sick messaging. I called AT&T last night and they had to put my new IMEI number in their system. I had to turn off my phone while they sent a refresh OTA. Turned out back on and all good.

Finally it works! The problem was a entry that cm10 has added to the gprs settings APN-TYPE default,supl. I deleted ",supl" and voilà, it works perfect (entry came back but since then it works). i like my phone! :good:
What exactly does the "supl" mean anyway in that setting?
i can't seem to send any picture messages, im on rogers , it just 'hang's at sending...
I'm rooted and on stock ROM, it usually sends MMS while on 3g but on wifi it doesn't, it's just stuck on sending... Help?
Btw what is supl

This whole cant send on wifi thing is new to me. It shouldnt matter if youre on wifi or not. It still uses the cell tower to send/retrieve MMS.
same here, but a buy newer fone
I have found that on att I can only use stock app to send Mms. Hopefully a third party one will work soon.

this should fix your issues
I like many of you had this very same issue. Until fixing it tonight and testing I thought I had the elite of apn's my data went from .02 Mbps to 10mbps when I removed the WAP.Cingular stock APN. And replaced it with what users on here were using and it was a insane difference. However I never did have MMS working so I was searching all over and a post on reddit had linked my to this site on another sub forum. So I tried it and bam my MMS is working. Now if there was a way to fix the MMS slideshow thing without adding an app let me know
Here's the link to fix your issues guys:

Yes you need to create a new apn. Mine and my gf was same but I made new apn and it working flawlessly. Make new apn similar to stock except put nothing in apn type field. Stock one has default, mms,* the one you make should be blank. I also changed name to T-Mobile US LTE. I just realized I could have take screen shot and avoided this sigh.

I was having the same problem with Chomp. Used your APN fix and seems only to work as long as I keep chomp from allowing message sizes to be no more than 300K. Usually it cuts down the resolution to something like 120k and the resolution just isn't so great still. Any time a message was sent larger than 300k it would send out, but upon recieving it I would get an error.
Other folks experiencing the same ?
This is what I had to do for GoSMS. I don't see issues with image resolution as big MMS is sent via their own service and MMS under 300Mb is sent via the network.
The solution is actually to change the APN Protocols to IPv4/IPv6. Everything else can be the same.

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.

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.

No. I figure that might be the next step.. I really do not want to reset, losing the messages I have saved and all the like really sucks.
i have the same prob factory reset and everything called telus they said phone issues dowloaded custome rom sometimes it works sometimes not. i think its phone try turning wi fi off

Cannot receive MMS (Cyanogen) Not APN problem..

I have been having this problem for 6 months, finally its annoyed me to the point of asking for more help. If i take my SIM out of my phone and put it in my wifes, i can get picture messages no problem. if the SIM is in my s4 then i cannot. i will get an error message half our later saying message could not be downloaded.
I have verified my APN information, it matches exactly with what telus says it should be, and with what it on my wifes phone. Ive also talked to telus who couldnt do anything more to help me. everything is good on their end, and like i said it works when my sim is in my wifes phone, and we have the same APN settings.
I would love to be able to get pictures in texts, everyone sends them to me and i can never view them.
another issue is that i canont send picture messages unless i turn off wi-fi. if i dont it wont send and will eventually come back saying ti could not send. if wifi is off, sends no problem. i dont so much care about this one, but if anyone knows...
Thanks in advance!
anyone?

Make sure mobile data is enabled and/or you have your messaging app set to automatically download/enable data for downloads or whatever. MMS can only be sent over mobile data and sometimes it needs to be enabled manually to send and recieve.
Hehe GUI setting is not going to solve your problem, can you attach your /system/csc/customer.xml file please, I know exactly what's your problem m8

App Tweakker Play Store luck...:good:
Two different things have made this happen for me.
1. Adblock plus app
-made mms not with at all
2. Turning on the text with Google hangouts when you initially setup your phone.
-when turned on, messed up all my mms
Check these, how this helps

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--
