This seems to be an issue on any CM-based ROM I use, but I really like PAC and the features it has so this is especially troubling to me.
I am on a VZW Galaxy S4 (SCH-I545, I545VRUAMDK baseband) with TWRP recovery, ktoonsez kernel 3.4.104.
Every time I install a CM-based ROM I cannot ever send or receive MMS messages through Hangouts, or any other messaging app.
When I look at Mobile Network Settings and check Access Point Names from within the system settings menu, I see Verizon APN info. The one I have enabled currently is the default VZWINTERNET one.
However, when I go into Hangouts and check my APN info there, I see APN entries for Sprint and MetroPCS. I cannot change any of them, I cannot add any of my own, I cannot manually input Verizon APN info, because they don't ever save. I can delete them all and render my phone unable to send or receive anything, but recover them by restoring default.
It's because of that fact that I believe that this is due to the ROM itself.
I first noticed this a year ago when I was using CM 10 and 11 release candidates, after CM switched to unified builds instead of carrier-specific ones. Since then I've flashed other ROMs like Dirty Unicorns and the like, and the ones that are based off the CM Unified builds always carry the Sprint/MetroPCS APNs in Hangouts.
This prevents me from ever sending or receiving MMS messages from anyone regardless of carrier of origin.
I've tried apps and tweaks to resolve this, but nothing works. The only thing that ever does is switching to a non-CM core ROM, but I like the feature-rich PAC-ROM the most.
Does anyone know of a definitive way of resolving this issue? A hack? A manual change to the system files?
I tried running a search of XDA, as well as good old fashioned Google, but all I can ever find are blog posts with suggestions and "definite" fixes that never work.
At this point I am a little desperate for help. Every time I've posted a help thread, be it here, the S4 official subforum on XDA, or Reddit, or the PAC forums, I get nothing, not a single reply.
I cannot be the only one who has been experiencing this.
Please advise.
Thank you,
I am experiencing this too, and APN settings dont seem to help.
Just reposted from a Chinese forum. Thanks the author.

Thank you for mirroring it. One more CM13 to play with.
Edit: shoot... I just downloaded it but it's for helium... Can you mirror hydrogen version too, please? Thank you!
Any features log? I'm using the version 2 of CM13 for Hydrogen with replaced files for Helium because version 3 had issues with the modem. I will try it and post what I see.
hydrogen mirror added in #1.

Can't install it. ERROR 7 on helium.
Edit: Okay, flashed successfully. In case of an error 7 just do a factory reset in TWRP
What about Video Recording? Does it work? Hydrogen 3Gb/32GB
Thanks

Why make another thread about this? It was already posted here. You are just adding confusion.
This isn't even posted in the right forum. The last you could have done was post this in roms sub forum.
This is completely different CM13 from different developer so separate thread is better for tracking bugs... IMO...
And the OP mirrors them for us... We should be thankful.
Did a dirty install. First off, my 3G stopped working like on version 3 of CM13. Notifications came in Chinese even though input language set to English. Restored my v2 backup as I need this as a daily driver.

Does video recording work in this version or it is same like as the other unofficial build?
Thanks
Sorry I did not test it that far as I stopped when the same 3G signal problem was occurring on the phone.
!Cautions with unofficial builds of CM13!
there are some rogue software like 2345,360&baidu were pre-installed . all of them are notorious for their rogue action in china. and since it's unofficial builds ,PLZ use with cautious
Not MMS auto data
Hello everyone, I installed CM13 everything works fine except one thing, MMS
Yet I have everything properly set the APN
But on my other official Phones and rom official when an MMS is received the data themselves active and backoff
While with CM13 IMPOSSIBLE!
The data never activates when MMS arrives or when I want to send an MMS.

I hd the same problem with the official Chinese 7.5 until I tried Textra from the google store, then all was good. I don't know if it could be something as simple as the app, but couldn't hurt to try, or maybe I'm being a simpleton (again),
Hi thank you for your help but for me with MIUI rom 7 of the Official I received MMS without being connected to 3G
While with CM13 always be connected to the data to send and receive MMS!
I tried everything, Textra, messenger, etc etc. chompSMS and none works.
Whenever I have this message: please activate the data!
Except that prior to the official rom the data will enable any one to send MMS

I wish these guys share the kernel source and we get develoter here do some clean CM13 without the chinese and otner extra things in it... 27 pages on that thread and no useful feedback. I'll pass... Don't need another Chinese release.

Attention all DEVS. Could some please create a Stock based ROM built on 7.x.x? All I am looking for are a couple of the new features from the Nougat upgrade from Marshmallow. Just the ability to block spam calls and texts built into the OS without having to download different apps that don't work right on 6.0.1
Thanks in advance...
When I root Xiaomi redmi2 for install custom app for send SMS and my custom app will read SMS to update data to backend but my phone cannot receive SMS
What happen ? How to fix it.
sorry for bad English.
Thanks.
Same here. I'm on crDroid 8.10 for Poco x3 Pro. Hope we can find a solution soon. I can't use my bank account because the authentication SMS never shows up.
