CM9 and MMS - Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
First of all, thank you for you all for you so good work !!
I have installed CM9 Beta4 on my Legend. Everything is OK (included GPS), except the reception and sending of MMS.
I tried everything I could find on google but I didn't succees to solve my problem (the default parameters of CM9 are good).
My operator is SFR (France).
Is there a solution or should I leave CM9 for CM7 ?
Thank you for your answer.

I tried with CM7 and it works ....

The stock messaging app does not work for mms, you need to use 3rd party app. when I'm on zeubeas rom I use handcent, you can also use go SMS but I personalty do not like go SMS anymore since its recent updates.
When using handcent you must change the settings in handcent and make it the default app to handle SMS and mms.

Thx ranger4740 but it didn't work ....
I tried with Handcent, then with Go SMS Pro ...

You also need to have mobile data turned on too, this is a common issue in cm roms. You will also need to check with your carrier for your correct apn.

Even with data turned on it doesn't work .... and for the parameters of APN I tried different parameters I found on google.
My carreir gives the parameters too for my phone (always the same parameters, except for the APN) but nothing works ...
I am condemned to retourn to CM7 ....:crying:

sorry I couldn't help

Sometimes I get lazy when sending MMS on CM7 regarding the toggling of mobile data, so I just share whatever image I want to send to the URLy app and send the link instead. Much faster than turning on 3G, selecting the image, waiting for it to send, and finally turning off 3G.

Thank you .... I will try.
But the problem is not the sending but the reception ...

OK, I think I found the problem ....
I deleted all APNs, I rebooted the phone and creates only the APN for MMS..... and it works !!! MMS can be send and I can receive them.
But when I create the APN for data it didn't work anymore ..... I am obliged to delete the data APN and to reboot the phone ...
I continue my investigations ....

Some news on my problem of reception MMS.
I receive a MMS message asking me to download the attachment.
When I click to "download", the icone "3G" (or "H") flashes 2 or 3 seconds, as if there was conflict with the connection of the data 3G (when 3G is active, no icone when 3G is not active).
I always look for a solution....

Thank you guys

[Q] Can't send MMS in MiniCM7Pro v21

As the topic's title suggests, the installation of this wonderful ROM disabeled mms functionality. In the conversation window the message status is Sending... Settings are correct, I checked them with my carrier. What could be wrong? This is the second installation of the same ROM, and I have the same problem again.

It's a problem with all ROM's based on Cyanogenmod 7. When using stock the phone automatically activates mobile data to send and recieve MMS. Cyanogenmod doesn't, its been listed on their bug-tracker so they are aware of it but nothing has been done yet.
To send MMS you have to turn mobile data on, and make sure your APN settings are correct
Mobile data is on and my mms settings are correct, I cheched them. Is there any log file that I could upload?

Try rebooting the phone then turn mobile data on, but make sure that wifi is off. Then resend the message. The log file won't mean much to me I'm afraid!
lol...people still use MMSs nowadays?
LOL, people still think sms and email are almighty? How do I send a picture to someone, that doesn't use email on his not-so-smart-phone?
Don't tell me I'm the only one with this problem??
Could a complete wipe out and reflash fix this problem? I also get FC when taking pictures with the camera, so I'm thinking about starting from scratch...
No, you're not the only one. I have the exact same problem. I am trying every possible setting for the mms APN, turned off and on the data communication, rebooted the phone again and again - no mms, send or receive.
I guess we'll have to keep on searching for a solution...
I'm gonna try reflash... Let you know if it works...
Reflashing didn't help, and I can't post it to the official theme, because I don't have enough posts....

maybe enable national roaming data. just in case your carrier roams on another carriers network.
what messaging app you using?
For those who really need/want 2.3.7 and
MMS working I can recommand StornMix V2.
I also tried several ROMs and I could not get
MMS working.
Unfortunately StornMix V2 has the following problems:
- sym-key on hardware keyboard does not work
(there is a fix for this... apply Optional_default_keyboard.zip via CWM)
- USB tethering is not 100% stable

Wifi Calling - Can't send MMS

Anyone else having this issue? I can send MMS just fine when i get a data signal. Also calls and SMS are working great over wifi calling....just cant seem to send a MMS.
I use Handcent and have no problem.
Have this issue too
I have this issue as well, when WiFi Calling is activated I cannot send or receive MMS messages.
I'm still completely stock.

I think is the way the tmobile sets it up to turn of the wireless radio but wifi, I seem that on my one s, but if you use another app im like Handcent it uses it wifi so you dont have the problems, again thats my experience on one s, Im waiting for my galaxy s 3 still

Tried handcent with no luck. Still can't send or receive MMS.
I have an s3 and also have this issue - anyone find a solution?
Google a little bit. Sounds like this is a known issue for T-Mobile on many different devices. :-(

Unfortunately this is an issue, but I don't know if the blame can be placed on TMobile, as the stock messaging app will allow me to send an MMS over WIFI. The reason being is that MMS is sent using the carrier's data connection. With the stock app, while using wifi, it disconnects from the wifi connection just long enough to send the MMS. However, when using a third party, it does not register and therefor isn't sent until you disconnect from the wifi or resend through the stock app.
Works for me bro. But then again, my data is always on...

This is a pretty crap issue.
I have no damn signal in my house (even though I really should), so Wifi Calling is a godsend (even though it likes to randomly turn off).
But I've got five MMS pending download because of a group text, and I can't reply. I would have to go up the street to get them.
I'm on Verizon and have the same problem. Only solution to sending and receiving is to clear data, but have to do that every time i send or receive an MMS on stock. tried Go SMS and Handcent, and get the same issues.

This worked for me at work and at home. Just need to do this for every wifi access point you use. I found this on Rootzwiki.
Long press on your Wifi connection
Press "Modify Network"
Scroll down to IP Settings and change that from "DHCP" to "Static"
Scroll down to DNS and enter the following information:
DNS 1 - 8.8.4.4
DNS 2 - 8.8.8.8
Press Save
REBOOT YOUR PHONE! This is important.
I would love to be able to send SMS through my WiFi because I get crap signal in my room.... is there a WiFi calling app for att?

[Q] group messing

Sorry if there is already a similar topic for this. I searched before, but can't find any information to solve my problem.
But my group messing inst working, I'm able to send text through it but i cant receive any back. I have tried different sms apps, none of them are working. Thoughts?
p.s i haven't rooted it yet.
Are you trying on WiFi or cell network..I have used it on Stock and Custom ROMs fine..except for WiFi sometimes won't do a group MMS until I get back on cell network but SMS is no probem..don't know why.

I tried getting rid of wifi calling, still no good
You have to go into the settings on the default messenger, and enable group messaging.
However, if you would like for it to be more fluid, consider making Hangouts SMS to be your default SMS client. I use it all the time, and it works pretty flawlessly

CM13 6.0.1 - Force Connect MMS

Hi,
I can't automatically receive MMS on standart sms app, anyone experiencing this ?
MMS Just keeps sending/downloading
(i have to turn data on to receive MMS)
I've done some searching and I can't seem to find the issue with MMS data?
My APNs are correct and I have the Messaging app set to Auto-enable data yes nothing happens at all.
Any pxt I send just says "SENDING..." and any I receive just says "Downloading".
Is there an option somewhere in the settings that I am missing?
In earlier versions of Cyanogenmod there was an option to "Enable Packet Data" in the Wireless/Network settings, but it doesn't seem to be present in CM13.
In stock rom 4.1.2, there was this option in feature.xml (System \ csc)
<CscFeature_RIL_ForceConnectMMS>true</CscFeature_RIL_ForceConnectMMS>
Thanks for any help and keep up the awesome work.
Hi, thanks for using the q&a.
Firstly, I used to have the same problem with MMS on lollipop roms. It did work for me on earlier MM roms, but the problem came back a while ago. I just use a 3rd party sms app now. Two that I have used and work well are chomp and textra. They do have ads though which are a little annoying. MMS works perfectly on these(chomp definately, I'm using now; textra I haven't used for a few months but did work perfectly then)
I don't really have a fix for the stock SMS app. As I said it did work properly for a while(for me) on MM with auto enable data.
EDIT: From memory it was dependant on the carrier as well, some people it worked and some like me(and some others on the same carrier) it didn't work....

OK, it works for me....
If you want to keep trying with chomp,try going into the app settings(3 dot menu) then messaging -> mms and switch "mms behaviour". Also see if your carrier send limit is not exceeded.
The other thing I would make sure is your apn settings for mms is correct. Sometimes I have found I need to configure apn manually...
Has anyone tested MmsRequest - reimplement automatic data sub switch -> CyanogenMod / android_packages_services_Mms by Ricardo Cerqueira?

MMS and APN Settings

Since receiving my Redmi Note 3, I've been very happy with the phone and software, however I have not been able to receive multimedia messages, is this due to alternate APN settings?, I'm on Australia Woolworths network 4G telstra.
However these settings are default normal telstra, would this be the reason or is it something else? Cheers
Today I was trying to download a MMS but wasn't able to. I modify APN but still nothing.
Then I had the brilliant idea to change the setting to "Prefer 3G" and it worked. Downloaded the MMS without a problem.

Maybe a bug. But you don't have to keep the 3G. You just have to change to 3G to download the MMS and change back to 4G after that.
I'm with Aldi Mobile, and I can't send MMS, despite configuring the settings they provide on their website. Are you guys able to send MMS at all? I've tried both 4G and 3G, but no luck. I'm running the latest stable global ROM.
Oh, and I'm afraid I don't know if I can receive MMS sorry....
Edit: OK, I can send and receive via the Xiaomi built-in Messaging app (with 4G). Google Messenger will not send MMS, but don't know about receiving.

You have to get the message center address/number from ur provider it will b 11 digits with a plus sing. Then plug it in under settings in msg app.

Sorry peteski, I haven't had any luck with this. Even though I don't like it much, the built-in app does the job so that's what I've been using. If I ever get it working I'll make another post.

Hi Megafluffles, I've got the same phone, same carrier, but even with the Mi Message option on I can't send MMS. Did you ever find out how to get the stock messaging app up and running?
Ta, Nic
Sorry for the necroposting, I hope this info helps someone. For some reason it's very hard to come by.
On my Redmi Pro it looks like this: Settings -> SIM and mobile networks, but not APN settings! Instead, somewhere at the very bottom there is an option to "Always receive MMS (even if mobile internet is turned off)". Switch it on, and voila! The MMS service is working. When you turn it off, even if the APN settings are correct and your 3G-4G network is working perfectly, your MMS "can't be sent at the moment". Good luck trying it out!
I'm using the latest stable MIUI global and the default messaging app, nothing fancy.
