Help I cant send mms - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can someone please help me on how I can send mms via my android htc mytouch 4g slide? Ive configured the network settings, I can receive mms just fine but I cant send any pics that I take from my camera. Im using Vodafone australia and Ive gone to their website and retrieved the network settings and configured my device hence I can receive them just fine but just cant send.I dont get no error it seems to go ok but none of my friends say theyve gotten them. At first I thought cause its a 8megapixel camera the attachment might be too big, the pics are about 1mb. I remember my last phone I always had to compress the image to about 600kb to send it. Anyway I changed the resolution of my camera to the lowest setting and the pic was 24kb but they still didnt get that mms. I dont get it, what gives?

I've noticed this on some phones, try a different sms app such as go sms. It might work better as if I recall correctly it has some additional mms settings such as message size and includes workarounds for some known mms problems.

Hoi,
did your check your settings for mms-server and mms-port in your settings ?
Otherwise post them, so we can find out where the problem is.

try to active/unactive 3G, sometimes it's fixed for me.

As for sending MMS I use app called Handcent. Try it, it is free (and for me the best solution for SMS and MMS)

I am having the same problem. I can receive pics but I can't send them.
I have US T-mobile and here are my APN settings:
APN: epc.tmobile.com
Proxy: Not Set
Port: Not Set
Username: Not Set
Password: Not Set
Server: Not Set
MMSC: (ht)(tp)://mms(dot)msg(dot)eng(dot)t-mobile(dot)com/mms/wapenc <-(I cant post links but you get it.)
MMS Proxy: Not Set
MMS Port: Not Set
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
Authentication type: Not Set
APN type: Not set
Also I've tried a couple other messaging apps like gosms and handcent. But they didn't help.

Do you have mobile data services switched ON? Even when I am on Wifi Network, I have to switch my 2G/3G ON to send MMS.

MMS problem with X10

Hi,
On my X10 i can't send MMS although MMS-settings are installed. When i try to send MMS, it keeps sending (It shows that message is being sent), but if i check after 1 hour, it still sending :-/ I tried to install MMS-settings again & after that i sent MMS, it was sent. I tried again to send MMS, same problem again... Again new MMS-settings, can send 1 MMS & have to install MMS-settings again :-/
What is it & how can i fix it?
Dancingfate from Esato has same problem:
Same here... from the day I bought it till today I cannot send nor receive MMS.
I tried auto setting, manual setting, requested OTA from provider, or requested the setting from SE website.
Did master reset, reflashed thru SEUS, update to R1FA016 thru DaVinci, all of them gave me the same result.
The MMS notification is received but the content cannot be downloaded.
All MMS sent items are always pending.
The SIM cards I'm using are no problems with other SE phones.

I had a problem with sending an MMS as well (only sending though). I know that my provider has a limit of 300Kb for sending MMS. Unfortunately, when attaching a photo to the MMS, Android will happily attach the entire photo (all 8Mpixels of it) to the MMS, blowing the limit. Then the MMS refuses to be sent, without giving an indication of the size being the problem.
Downscaling the photo solved this. Afterwards, I received it just fine.
Thank You so much Stomppot for tips, but how can i downscal a photo before sending mms? Sorry i'm n00b :-S
Ok, i just tried to send a pic 248kb (300kb is allowed here also) but still the same, it keep sending mms, but nothing happens I got 3 mms 4 hours ago, still downloading

After upgrade to 2.1, I got the same problem too. I tried to downgrade to 1.6 again, but no problem with 1.6. Same SIM...
Is there some bug of X10 or some bug of Android 2.1 ???
Very strange! Now I have to enable data comm (3G network) to send/download MMS...
[Update]
I found my problem is due to "Quick-Settings".
If you encoynter MMS issue, please try to remove "Quick-Settings" if you had it.

what u mean remove it? just as a widget or from ur phone completely?
for those who have problems with MMS, just reflash your phone to Rogers 2.1 firmware and reset your MMS configuration and it will work again.
Hope this help
I think this is probably the same answer as the one above but ...
In some of the updates I found the data settings weren't quite correct even though the update had stated the correct carrier info during the setup. I had the same issue as the OP and the mms would just be stalled sending.
i just went on my carrier website and got them to send the settings to my phone and it all worked fine then.

Rogers' old MMS settings don't work with 2.1.
Delete APN settings for both MMS and internet and use these for both:
APN: rogers-core-appl1.apn
Proxy: <not set>
Port: <not set>
Username: <not set>
Password: <not set>
Server: <not set>
MMSC: http://mms.gprs.rogers.com
MMS Proxy: 10.128.1.69
MMS Port: 80
MCC: 302 (retrieved from SIM)
MNC: 720 (retrieved from SIM).
Authentication type: <not set>
APN type: <not set>
It should work!
As for the other carriers, maybe it's the same problem? Ask your carrier for the latest settings.

MMS

So I know this seems to be an issue but cant seem to find a straight answer.
I got my vibrant a few days ago and do not know what rom I am running. I am using Tmobile and I am able to recieve MMS's blurry, and I can not send them. However I updated the APN settings to these
Name: Simple
APN: simple
Proxy: 216.155.165.050
Port: 8080
Username: Not set
Password: Not set
Server: Not set
MMSC: http://smpl.mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS proxy: 216.155.165.050
MMS port: 8080
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
Aunthentication type: PAP
APN type: internet + mms
Now when I performed this last night working station 3.I was using wifi calling and all of a sudden was able to send MMS no problem. I left and was on regular network and still I could send...no matter what I still recieved blurry ones. I woke up today and went to work at station 4. I again could not send MMS's at all (was on wifi calling and tried normal network). I came back to station 3 and still could not send MMS. I checked my APN settings to make sure nothing changed, and alas it did not. I am on the wifi calling here. I retried and sure enough I can send...I changed nothing and am on wifi calling and when I was at station 4 this morning I was on wifi calling and it didnt work, and i tried on the regular network and it didnt work.
Sometimes I get a general "fail to send", while others I get "error connecting to the network"
My question is why is it working now after i checked the settings and changed nothing.? and how can I find what version and kind of ROM I am running?
Regardless of which I am finding a lot of topics, but cant seem to find a fix for both the blurry issue and not being able to send MMS.
Thanks guys for the understanding and cooperation this whole droid thing is new to me after being a blackberry head. I love the phone but I am still new to this whole thing, I am wish I knew how to update my kernel (if I knew what version or type of a ROM I am running).
I feel burnt out from pondering this all day.

MMS not working is it the APN's??

hey guys...
got my atrix from at&t unlocked it with cell unlock.net using it on rogers found the apn's online but i cant recieve or send mms i am using handcent message app... but it also dosent work with origional messaging app either any help is apprecieated thanks...
try this:

Issue on bell
Not sure if this will help but I went from an Iphone and was use to sending pictures from the gallery so when I went to on the atrix same thing went to pictures chose to share and the only option was text message (no mms option) it asked if I wanted to resize and wether I did or not it only sent the text not the photo. The only way I found to send the pic is to chose insert inside the acutual messaging app (havent tried with handcent) yet.
The setting mentioned earlier are more than likely the issue as you would have to set them manualy.
quick question, coming from the iphone using bitesms. with the handcent quickcompose or even with chompsms is there a way to have favorites show up as default in the list upon oppening the quickcompose as they do on bitesms really miss that feature

Call AT&T. Once again another fail by them: they automatically switch your texting plan if it isn't available any more. I had the 200 plan, and they basically switched it without telling me, and they messed it up. I just called them and setup a 1500 plan.

Can't send/receive picture mail

Hi for my xperia x10 I can't receive or send picture mail. I used to be able to get them and I'm not too sure how to fix this; and wifi isn't part of the problem. When I got to send picture mail it would just hit up edge/gsm/etc.
My apn is set up correctly; so I don't know what's going on. It just switched all of a sudden:
Name: T-mobile
Apn: Wap.voicestream.com
mmsc: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
bump bump bump
anyone know?
You need to have your APN set up if you haven't. Mainly the MMS part. Also you may need to enable data in order for it to work, unless your ROM has an option to allow MMS with data off.
I have mine set off already.
Name: T-mobile
Apn: Wap.voicestream.com
mmsc: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
It used to work without me enabling data. >__>
Any other ideas?
I had the same problem before and what I did was download the apn settings using the SE settings download.

[FIX] MMS Failure (Generic Network Failure) even with correct APN settings (ATT)

I've had a problem with my M8 since I got it: I couldn't receive MMS messages. I could use the phone, internet, and send mms, but couldn't receive. I rooted, unlocked and s-offed, installed ARHD and still... no MMS. Googled, googled, googled... nothing. It seems nobody was getting anywhere. Well, I solved it, at least for my case:
It's Adblock Plus. Maybe some other ad-blocking apps as well.
ABP, when set to filter all connections, causes MMS to fail on the default APN settings. The fix is this, use these APN settings (everything not listed should remain the same) :
MMS proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS port: 8080
APN type: default,supl,mms,hipri
The default MMS port is 80, which conflicts with ABP. Haven't had a problem since I changed it to 8080. Hope it works for you too!
