MMS Not sending or recieving [Sprint] - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I just got this phone.
I was having horrible connectivity issues which I blamed for the MMS issue. Now, using the methods on here to activate bands 26/41 I'm hitting 4G LTE, though not super fast, but it's still something.
When I get an MMS (using Hangouts) it always says "Tap to download MMS message". Nothing I do seems to change this.
Is there any hope?

MMS via hangouts has been screwed up for quite awhile now and not just for Sprint - https://productforums.google.com/forum/m/#!msg/hangouts/kzg-hqiDANc/QEtQb6SC22kJ

Thanks. I guess Google messing something up was the last thing I expected. Sucks.

T-Mobile MMS issue

Ok, who is using their N1 on T-mobile?
I bought my N1 and originally used it on ATT for a few weeks and my MMS messages were normal but since I've switched to T-mobile all the incoming MMS messages I get are 5Kb. They quality is obviously horrible. It's the same on the Desire rom and on CM. Anyone else have this issue?
I am on Tmo and get all my mms the desire Rom mms is messed up that why I stop using it. I am on cyan and get all my messages.

It must be a sprint issue then. I would call customer service and complaint about it.

lol. I've had this issue a lot with sprint also. I'm hating the fact that they can't get this network issue resolved fast enough

I've had this problem quite a lot recently. Oddly, it seems to only affect messages coming from one or two certain people on a given day.
Yes, me too. Completely random.

This could be caused by incorrect APN (Access Point Names) setting. Happened to me in the past.
These can be configured via Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names.
Google APN Settings for (Your Service Provider) and check to see if you have the right setup.
Do you use Google Voice? Google Voice has Sprint integration so if you selected that GV will intercept your incoming text messages

I had a friend sending me texts that I wasn't receiving and once they deleted all my texts on their phone I started getting their texts to me.

Sprint Cannot Send MMS

The issue has been happening to me recently (as well as my girlfriend, also on Sprint) that we cannot send MMS messages.
My phone is an Epic 4g Touch on AOKP and rooted, hers is a Nexus S 4g running stock.
No idea what is causing the issue, but whenever we try to send an MMS to someone it just sits there saying "Sending..." until it possibly errors out.

You may have to set APN settings manually.Ask your service provider for the settings.
Sprint uses CDMA unless Wimax or LTE is different. Have you called Sprint tech support at all?

Not getting text messages

For some reason it seems I can't get text messages. I could make calls, send text messages, go on 3g and 4g lte and I could even send SMS. But whenever someone texts me I can't receive it.
I have tried updating my prl and profile even that won't fix it. I could really use some advice....

Other than what you stated that you have already tried...I dont have a clue. Sprint could be in the process of upgrading towers in your area which typically does wreck all kinds of havoc. Call customer care and check if that should be the case. If not, try clearing cache for messaging.

This has been happening for more than two weeks. And my HTC one on the same network can receive texts just fine. Since i'm rooted i've been switching to different roms to see if I could finally relieve texts. I went from Sacs custom rom to CM 10.2 and I just flashed stock rooted MF9 but I still cant receive texts. I'm thinking about restoring back to stock to check if text's work. Any suggestions?

Call Sprint and ask them to re-provision/activate your phone. This resets the recognition of your phone to the neighbouring Sprint towers.
You might want to flash back to a stock ROM before doing so.. Just in case they ask you to do something on your end.

Mms sending but not receiving straight talk t-mobile

Just wondering if anyone else had this problem and if anyone has the fix for it. Maybe the apn settings are wrong with my simcard.

Make sure you have the correct APN settings for your carrier.
That's what I'm trying to find
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
It came setup out of the box, but the only person I can get pics FROM is someone else on T-Mobile networks also.

Search Google for TMobile or StraightTalk APN depending on the carrier you're using.
