MMS issues on ICS and JB - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Heya guys,
I've been going through quite a few different roms, trying to get MMS functioning properly, however without much luck.
Currently my best "workaround" is to be close to a wifi and have wifi enabled and send, or the other option to disable the data APN and make the mms APN default.
My Carrier requires me to use 2 APN's in order to get MMS and data working.
Has anyone found a solution for getting around this ?
My apn settings:
Data:
Code:
Name: Internet
APN: internet
MCC: 238
MNC: 02
APN type: default,internet
MMS:
Code:
Name: MMS
APN: telenor
MMSC: http_:_/_/_mms.telenor.dk (i have under 10 posts so cant post links, i have added "_"'s to go around this.)
MMS proxy: 212.88.64.8
MMS port: 8080
MCC: 238
MNC: 02
APN type: mms
i am required to be on the telenor APN in order to connect to the MMS proxy, i have tried being on the internet apn, however i get connection refused.
Well i guess i should state what i am currently using.
I am currently using mimicry 1.5.0 on a HTC desire Z works great except for the obvious M.MS problem.
I have a thread in the desire z forum, however since i beleive this issue is not just related to my actual phone, i thought a broader audiance could help with this.

bumping the thread, i guess i posted this thread a bit outside the useual active times, got completely burried.
Latest update, MIUI has this problem fixed in their ICS build, however their build is a bit too unstable on my phone (reboots all the time)
maybe if someone knows an app or maybe even a script etc that can ie change APN settings apon mms receive and send, and change it back after its sent/downloaded, i could live with such a workaround without complaining.
I have also written to my carrier in hopes of they can provide me with a single APN setting for both data and mms (i think they already have one, but since my rom does not have support for auto config of apn's apon msg recieve from carrier i am unable to enable it.)
If someone knows of a tool that can help handle this, i am willing to give it a try.
My phone is of cource rooted, would not have it any other way

bumping again, nobody with a suggestion ?

Another bump, in the hope of someone knowing a solution.

bump again, still no luck on this end.

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.

[Q] MMS not working

Hi,
I have an HTC Droid Incredible LTE and cannot send or receive MMS. I have Straight Talk on Tmo network, they were no help whatsoever. Phone, txt, and data all work. Interestingly (maybe related?) when wifi is on I still have the symbol of data going (it's an E with up/down arrows), so I don't actually know which it's using. However, even with wifi off I have data but no MMS regardless of wifi on or off. Preferred network is set to GSM/UMTS mode.
Current APN:
APN: wap.tracfone
Port: 8080 (tried with and without)
MMSC: http mms dot tracfone dot com
MMS Port: 8080
MMS protocol: WAP 2.0
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
APN Type: default,supl,mms (also default,hipri without success).
I've tried installing Tweakker to auto set it, but somehow it's not compatible with my device & the play store won't let me get it. A different APN app says I'm on Tmo network. I've tried Tmo settings in the past and lost all data & txt. I've also tried Wireless Manager as recommended by another post here without success.
I've tried deleting all APNs in order to reboot & start fresh, but 1 always shows up again by default, similar to the one above. My phone is the default OS. I could give it to my husband to put a custom rom on it for me if absolutely necessary.
I know there are people here using this phone in a similar manner (that's why I got it). Any other things I can try?

[Q] MMS not working with WiFi

Hello all,
I just recently got the Xperia Z2 and tried sending/receiving MMS picture messages with WiFi on at home and found that it will not go through until I turn it off. I'm currently in the States using the T-Mobile US network. As soon as I turn off WiFi, or if I'm out and about using my phone without WiFi on, I find that the MMS picture messages go through like normal, both receiving and sending. Is anyone having any issues with this that's on the US T-Mobile network, and are there any fixes to this? I haven't contacted T-Mobile yet but I've read a few other forums and it looks like other Android users are running into the same problem. I just haven't seen it brought up on the Xperia phones.
Here's some information on my phone:
- Stock D6503 (Taiwan version that came with the noise canceling headphones & magnetic charging dock)
- 4.4.2 Kit Kat
- Version 17.1.A.2.69
- Has not been rooted, bootloader has not been touched
- Using the stock Messaging app that was installed (Although I also tried downloading the SMS Messaging (AOSP) by Sylvain Galand in the Play Store and it didn't work either)
- MMS auto download & MMS when roaming are both on under the Messaging settings
APN settings were downloaded under the Wireless & networks > Internet Settings > T-Mobile US
Name: T-Mobile US
APN: fast.t-mobile.com
Proxy: Not set
Port: Not set
Username: Not set
Password: Not set
Server: Not set
MMSC: http://mms.msg.english.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS Proxy: Not set
MMS Port: Not set
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
Authentication type: None
APN Type: default,supl,a-gps,mms
APN protocol: IPv6
APN roaming protocol: IPv4
Some other users are saying that their phones will send MMS messages if they enable WiFi calling, but I have not seen that feature included in our Xperia Z2's.
Source: http://support.t-mobile.com/thread/56934
I also read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2724390 and this http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-1979 with no solution so far.
I guess I could always just turn off the WiFi when sending or receiving MMS messages but I just wanted to ask the community if there was a fix for this.
I generally don't post questions in these forums as I try to dig around as much as possible before posting. Any help or tips would greatly be apprecaited!
Change your APN protocol from IPv6 to IPv4/IPv6

Thank you so much! Who knew the solution was that simple! I just tried it and was able to send and receive MMS picture messages while connected to WiFi. Thanks again! :good:

[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!

[Q] MMS/APN Issues with CyanogenMod 11

So ever since I did a wipe and flash last week of the CyanogenMod 11 nightly, I haven't been able to send/receive MMS messages. If someone sends me something, I'll get a message saying that they sent me something but it cannot be downloaded. From what I could tell, it could be my APN settings. I've tried a bunch of different things, the main two being what's shown on this webpage, and the following (default) settings:
Name: Verizon Internet
APN: VZWINTERNET
MCC: 311
MNC: 480
APN Type: default,dun,supl
APN protocol:: IPv4/IPv6
APN roaming protocol:: IPv4/IPv6
Now sometimes MMS will work, but take FOREVER to download. Other times, it just doesn't download. This is becoming really frustrating since I use group messages a lot to keep in touch with distant friends.
Could someone be able to help me out and tell me what I'm missing? This is becoming a huge inconvenience. Any help would be much appreciated!
