I installed Viper10 and chose Verizon as the carrier since I saw somewhere on the forums that it was the way to get service for sprint and I have everything working fine except I can't send MMS. Is that a problem because of the wrong APN settings or is that just the tradeoff?
P.S: I can receive MMS but can't send them.

did you enter the sprint apn's? go to venomroms.com the settings are posted there, don't forget to save the apn after setting
I looked for the APN settings on venomroms.com and that's what I had and I everything works including LTE data, calling, sms and receiving MMS. Only thing that has problems is sending MMS. If this is just the tradeoff for the custom rom that's fine I'm just wondering if other ppl have the same issue.

i'm on sprint with the same settings and it works fine here, don't know why your's is not??/
make sure there are no syntax errors or typos.
You don't have the APN settings saved correctly. Delete the APN entry you saved, and make sure you enter the settings exactly. Also make sure autocorrects doesn't "fix" your entries. ?
I also had this problem on 2 different 10s in the same house. Couldn't figure out why it didn't work so I went back to viper 3.5 and worked perfectly.

I can send regular msgs and my apn settings are correct as I am actually writing this from my magic. I made sure my mobile data was on when sending an mms because you obviously cannot send from WiFi although that would be awesome. But at this point I would just like to send a simple mms. I have an unlocked Rogers Magic on AT&T with fatality 1.4 on it.
A lot of us have the same problem, though we are UK Vodafone customers. I've been told by them that you need to ring up and ask them to 'activate' mms on your account. That seems to sort it for us, not sure if it will help you out as your on a different carrier but maybe worth a call to customer services?

Do you have MMS APN settings? Your data connection runs through a different APN so it working doesn't mean your MMS will.
I cannot send an MMS, I have tried with 2 different roms (ION 2.0r1 and HoFo ION 2.1.0 and with 2 different Italian operators (WIND and TIM), it's possible to push another Mms.apk to solve this problem?
I am having the same problem.
But I cannot send or receive MMS..
I've tried just about all the 32B ROMs on here, but to no avail.
I cant even adjust my APN for some reason.
Any help on this subject would be great

When you adjust your apn, make sure you select the apply option from the menu.
I'm having sms issues also. My sms settings in the apn config are identical to a friend who's phone works fully with sms.
Please post in the correct forum.
I'm going crazy with the question of the MMS in this build of American Android. I'm from Spain and my phone company Telstra (yoigo). I tried everything I've read but can not send or receive MMS. The APN is correct. Not if the problem is the build or in Spain we have to change any line of buildprop. I would appreciate answering me to post it in my country.
Thanks
make sure max message size is not set above 300k
ROM default mismatch some APN data.
Try correct your APN data.
For example, in my case: MMSC rom defaul was h t t p://202.222.042.204:8002
but MMS only starts to work using h t t p://202.222.42.204:8002
Follow and type your APN data.(the correct one for your country and carrier etc)
Look carefully for any differences betewen rom default and carrier request.

The APN is correct. I have no problems with other builds. I come to think that only works in U.S.A. so I tried to change the DNS in the buildprop. This has not solved the problem. I connected and disconnected and have exclusive 2G connection on and off wifi as I read in a previous post. Neither works. Thanks for the reply. Can you think of something else?

i dont just mean teh message is actually smaller than 300k, i mean that the setting 'max mms size' is set to 300.
I cant find this particular setting in my rom, lol, but ive seen it given as a solution twice recently, I suspect the roms in question are using the tmobile 1000k default size, and those threads have reference to a max mms size setting in their mms settings screen.
reference one two

Sorry, I found the option in GO SMS, but not in the messaging program of build
Any other ideas?
I love this build. The only problem I've found are the MMS. Maybe it is a problem that must be solved by CyanogenMod guys

MMS requires Mobile Data on
Hi,
I can send and receive MMS as long as Mobile Data is on. However, adding a MMS APN does not work; when Mobile Data is off, MMS can't be sent or received.
I've verified the Netcom Norway MMS APN settings to be correct, and this works on my LeeDroid 2.2.1 configuration. For Cyanogenmod, this does however not work. I've verified this both on my DHD (CM 7.0.0) and HD2 (CM7RC4).
Too bad, as I configured the HD2 for my gf, but she does not have a data plan...

I can also confirm on hy Desire GSM on Telstra running CM7 stable that you can only send/receive MMS if mobile data is enabled.
Can anyone say if this standard/expected behavior for Android roms on Telstra?
Today i had a problem where i couldn’t send MMS messages using my SGS Android phone. Im currently running Cyanogenmod nightly 181 so i went looking for a fix.
This is what worked for me:
1. Download root explorer (It costs a few $ from the market, but well worth it) or an equivilent and give it root priviledges.
2. Locate the following file, telephony.db: /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
and
/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db
3. Rename the file. (e.g xxtelephony.db.xx) or delete it (I deleted it)
4. Restart your phone
5. Now try sending an MMS.
That solved my problem and i can now send MMS messages again. This fix may also work for other roms, so give it a try if you’re experiencing problems.
I had the same issue in my Desire S (Saga) with CM7. Send/Receive MMS only with enabled Data APN. I tried to delete the telephony.db and restarted my phone. After the reboot mms works fine, but they set my Data APN back to default (i renamed the apn to be sure that the data connection is disabled). I renamed it again. After the reboot also the telephony.db is back.
My first test was positiv, i now can send / receive MMS. Hope that this will not change.
Hi everyone,
I'm having big issues with MMS and my GSII.
I bought it from Expansys.
I live in Australia.
I've got it running on the Telstra NextG Network.
I haven't touched it in ways Samsung wouldn't approve of.
I can't send MMS messages.
I've rang Telstra many, many times and they set this up and I turned it on and off and they sent me settings and I turned it on and off and they walked me through entering the settings manually and they transferred me to the really technical team, as high as you can go on high priority.
They told me to pull out the battery and sim card without turning the phone off, and to wait three minutes and try again and if that didn't work, to contact Samsung.
Of course, it still didn't work, and, of course, I came here.
I hope you guys can help.
:s
I'm not sure what information I need to give you that is helpful here, but I've taken some screenshots that may be related to the problem.
I'd really appreciate it if someone can help me out. I'm not sure what to do if I can't get MMSs to work.

Which error does your phone give you?
Server response error.
edit:
Just added the picture showing the error. Forgot that one first time.
I had that problem sending myself a mms. Server response error. On top of the fact that all mms coming in and out was a video instead of a picture with the stock mms.apk. I installed cm7 mms.apk and everything displays perfectly and i just sent myself a message.

Mine works fine and the only difference between my settings and yours is that I have authentication type for both Telstra Internet and Telstra MMS set to "PAP or CHAP". Try changing both these settings.
I have the same problem. After factory reset mms works for a day or two then the same error appears. I am on Rogers in Canada. All default apn/mms settings are correct.

How would I go about doing this? Sorry, I'm a bit of a noob.
Does it require rooting? I want to stay away from rooting until it's simple and fail-safe.

Try this: MMS "APN" Telestra.Internet and not Telestra.mms (since mms initiates telestra.internet
I had the same problem with T-Mobile and my sgs2. I think the problem lies with the messaging app as all was fine once I changed to go SMS, problem solved.
When I am sending MMS, I turn Wi-Fi off.
I usually add Topic/Subject and some text to my MMS.
This way my MMS sending works almost 90%.
Sometimes I have to delete MMS which is in "sending" status and try again. This way I got 100% success rate. I have no errors though. Try PAP on both Internet and MMS APN settings.
Have the same problem. Try to manually enter the phonenumber to the recipient. That works for me
hey guys, ive been trawling the internet for solutions and still cant get my mms to work (cant send or receive). has anyone got a working solution? i read somewhere that the galaxy s had a similar problem and needed a combined apn for internet and mms - does anyone have this?
(im on telstra in australia)
What a Nightmare
I also had this problem only SGS2. Bought from MobiCity and running in Australia on Telstra NextG. Unable to send MMS but all other SMS and internet working fine.
I looked up the Telstra website and entered their APN settings ... No MMS.
I looked up the Telstra settings on Ausdroid and entered these ... No MMS.
I found information on how to delete APN and put internet+MMS into a single APN as suggested for the original SGS ... No MMS. Grrrrrrrrr...
I used the Telstra website to SMS the APN settings direct to the phone ... No MMS and increasing frustration.
I sent an email to MobiCity telling them of my problem, as well as what I had already tried. They very helpfully sent me the Telstra APN settings ... which still didn't work.
I tried the suggestion mentioned here to type the phone number directly rather than use a contact from my Google contacts ... finally some success.
Then, thinking 'I'll be stuffed if I am going to lookup and type the number every time's, Installed GO SMS Pro from the Market, and it just works. Looks better, improved functionity including SMS scheduling. And Free.
It makes me think it is a problem with the stock messaging app. Anyway,thanks to the person who suggested GO SMS. Much appreciated.
I've was not able to send MMS to some contacts. It was the problem with spaces in numbers just like Outlook adds after the country code. I have cleared all spaces from numbers (via Kies) and now MMS works.
MMS error was something like 'cannot connect to server'. All settings for MMS was correct (like APN, ports, etc). SMS to a number with space works. Checked on 2 SGS2 with XXKE4 and XXKF2
I have a Hell of a nightmare as well with finding what I m looking for about MMS :
I want to change sending Priority to highest and can't seem to find a way in the SG2 menu or even with an app or MOD....
I posted a new thread on this issue.... : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16892768#post16892768
thanks for any help....
For all those who are on the Rogers network, I spoke to a tech rep yesterday and apparently it is a network bug that they are aware off and trying to fix. He said to try and input the contact numbers manually instead. I tried and it does work if you do it this way.
I am not on Telstra, but do you have the correct settings in the messaging app-settings-message centre/smsc ?
That was my prob a long time ago on my Sgs1.

I had the same problem. I had to remove the country code +61 from all my phone numbers for MMS to work. Standard MMS settings work just fine.
Big Thanks

I just wanted say a big thanks for this information. I don't have a Samsung but an HTC HD2 and it appears that I was the only person on Earth who couldn't send an MMS with my nandroid rom on the HTC HD2... or there were lots living without it. Your suggestion re "PAP or CHAP" has MMS sending perfectly on my phone with Telstra NextG. Reproduceable too as I now have my wife's HTC HD2 sending MMS as well on Telstra!
now that my phone is running CM7...
is there any way to disable data but still be able to send/receive mms?
prior to flashing to CM7, when i was on stock 2.3.4, i was able to get it to where "data" is always on but only to receive mms.. apps like foursquare, fb, etc didnt work. never started using data when i went out of wifi.. bad part about this was i couldnt send mms.. all i remember doing was disabling data in the hidden menu, and changing the APN.. iirc, the "spot where it says "data enabled", that was checked..
now that i have flashed to cm7, i disabled data in the hidden menu, changed the APN, but it still uses data for everything like foursquare, fb, etc once i have data turned on in settings, everything goes on data and starts using it.. foursquare gets updates, etc.. yah i can send and receive mms too but what the heck happened D:
so now im on CM7, is tehre something that can disable data without disabling mms? i understand some people say u need data to send n receive mms but eh
using T-mobile with no data plan.
tried finding that data toggle widget someone had suggested in the past but cant find it.
-------------------
tried disabling data on *#*#4636#*#*, none of the APN's worked.... couldnt get mms or go online
after enabling data... apn's grabbed data.. D:
so back to using the mms.voicestream.com one... and just having data disabled for now... enabling it when i see a mms coming in...
unless u guys have better ideas
Have you tried using a firewall?
You don't need a data plan to send/received MMS.
You do need to have the correct APN setup.
Name: MMS
APN: epc.tmobile.com
MMSC:http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MCC:310
MNC:260
APN type:mms
everything else blank (not set).
is that the only apn i put in there or which ones do i have in there ?
hmm looks like it may be working.. no internet access.. can receive mms... no response on sending yet.

Tell me what you see.
and to confirmed from you 1st post, you do NOT have a data plan correct?

yes, no data plan.

That's good. Also if you haven't done it.
Go into the stock messaging app.
Settings>Custom User-Agent>Chose Custom>Android-Mms/2.0
or chose Nokia N95
this way your incoming MMS doesn't get resize to thumbnail size
good to know ! dunoe what most of these customization stuff does on cm7 ahhahaha anything else ud like to suggest? (even if it doesnt pertain to messaging) xD
