I've been using UltimaRom for some time now and love it! But recently updated my Galaxy S3 to the latest version only to find mobile data not working.
I tried flashing previous versions, doing full wipes as i went but still couldn't get it back.
I've ended up using odin to flash stock back on and data is working again.
I tried going straight to to the latest UltimaRom but the same problem has occured.
Any suggestions?
Hello,
I'm using the same rom, but I don't have that problem, however I do have a suggestion.
On your current rom, got to:
System settings - More settings - Mobile networks - Acces Point Names, and click on the one that's there.
Inside that there should be one called "apn".
Write that down somewhere, and when you flash Ultimarom again, go into the same place and paste the info. (it should look something like this: www.Internet.mtelia.dk or: websp, it depends on your carrier)
It sounds like the new version somehow doesn't have the correct apn setting and so you will have to set it up manually.
Hope this helps.

IroniX2 is right, it worked for me, do as explained.
Was running the ultima rom and had a issue with data, manual set up of apn worked for me. :good:
Not running the ultima now on Sotmax Ultimate Stock V8, amazing, fast no issues, Battery Best Ever
:good:
thanks i'll give that a go.
is it just the field named apn i need? just checked and there's a bunch of information in there.
Depending on your carrier you can log in to their site and get the settings texted to your phone, and install it from there.
I'm with T-Mo and I did it that way to save writing things down. Just choose the settings for internet and MMS.

As far as I know all you need is the apn field.
Very few carriers use different values than the default as far as I know.
Worst case is that you have to check on the website of your carrier to see the full apn, but I think it should be fine.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
yeah most carriers setting are the same, just the username and password for your carrier you need
go to there website and request the setting to be sent to the phone then save them.
it how I did it. good luck. :good:
everything is working perfectly now, thanks to all for the quick responses and helpful info.:laugh:

Hi All
I have searched and read numerous forums posts regarding problems with MMS sending failing, all seem to point to APN settings being the cause. However, I find that unless i have a Samsung based ROM installed, whenever I try and send or open received MMS messages, the messaging application crashes and no matter what i've done, ROMS i've tried I get the same result! any CM based kernels cause it - CM9 has always done it, and the AOKP based roms using CM9 kernels as well.
Can anyone shed any light on this? Really want to get off the horrible clunky Samsung ROMS but use MMS a lot!
Agreed. I deleted all APNs and installed fresh settings from network providers website, no joy. I gave up and use whatsapp for pics. Never looked back. I'm paying for data so why not use some for pics. Hope you find a fix soon.

Try to reboot twice.. If that doesnt work you're going to have to find the apn settings and input them manually.
Try Slim ICS ROM it;s the complete opposite to clunky!
It's a really nice ROM with lots of features and is fast and smooth
I've been using it for about 8 weeks now and think I'll stick with it, so far no problems with anything at all, no FC no errors. And MMS works perfectly

Stop using MMS. There's much better, free alternatives, such as email.
I also am unable to send MMS using Swiss Orange Me Pre-pay sim. I am running Resurrection Rom 2.6.1 and Siyah Kernel 4.0.1. All attempts to add APN setting manually, reboot and clear cache and Dalvik cache and fix permissions have not solved the problem. I have changed from Kernel 3.5.2 to 4.0.1 and still no luck. I obtained correct APN settings from the Orange shop and the staff member commented that the Kernel may not be completely compatible with the network. Could this be the answer? Or is it something to do with the Rom build itself? Has anyone got the same problem on the same setup on a different network? I am aware that trying another Rom or Kernel or Sim card may solve the problem. I'm happy with my setup and send pics using email instead as I have unlimited data. I would like to know if this is a common problem.

Whilst I may use email etc, there are still times when MMS is useful, and for people not quite a tech savvy. It's also a basic feature of a mobile phone!
I am surprised that no seems to know the answer here - surely others experience this?
Just to confirm - I have tried multiple modems/kernels/roms, permission fixes etc, and rebooting multiple times. Even re-partitioning in ODIN! I have tried getting the settings sent from O2, requesting through SIM, and enetering manually; rebooting several times when rom is installed etc. Nothing seems to fix it except a samsung ROM?

If I get your question right, this is your problem:
'Only Samsung based Roms allow you to send mms successfully'
Try this solution:
- you will have to ensure mms settings is present under APN settings. Confirm if it's correct for your network provider.
If it's not correct, you will have to find it and enter it manually because Aosp messaging app cannot save configuration messages unlike Samsung messaging app.
- Reboot your device you manually added your mms settings (if not, skip this step).
- If messaging app still crash while sending mms, then use another messaging app, I recommend Gosms. It can allow you to manually link your mms settings.
Your problem should be solved now.
Please correct me if I missed anything
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
Hello, I would like to have a thread for Wind Mobile customers in Canada using the HTC amaze.
Specifically at this point I would like to know what ROM everyone is using and do they have mms working.
I have only been able to get mms working on NRG's Aug 6 ROM.
I would love a more AOSP ROM but am stuck if I want mms.
(also I have noticed the apn recommendations for Wind do NOT look correct in the thread for apn's as it suggests 1 apn for both internet and mms)
Please join this thread and share any experiences you have and I hope this helps others besides myself.
Especially since I think our phone is still great and I don't know of any reason to switch or upgrade at this point.
Have you tried the one APN even if it doesn't look right?

Thanks for reply and suggestion
To be honest I haven't tried in a long time and I did not try this morning when I was trying the Fourth Bar Infusion ROM.
I guess I have assumed that how I have the apn's on the NRG ROM is how they need to be as it works
However, I suppose it is possible that the apn's need to be different if the ROM is different or de-sensed.
Could this be?
Has anyone out there with Wind got mms to work on a ROM other than NRG's and if so, how did you do it.
May give it another try tonight if I have time.

Does anyone think that if I use the 1 apn for both internet and mms and it does NOT work on the NRG ROM it MAY work on a different ROM?
and or vice versa?
I'm not with wind, but I've had problems with certain roms not being able to send mms, but it was usually something screwy with the mms.apk. If I swapped it out for one that I had working from a different rom, I'd have no issues, but yeah, only one apn for both data and mms.
try swapping in an aosp mms.apk on your energy rom and see if it works. Extract it from fourth bar, or speed rom even. rename it to mms1 or whatever, that way you'll have both working to test back to back.

Do you mean that yes, you only 1 apn for internet and mms looks OK or it does NOT look OK?
I can try an AOSP mms apk and see if I can get it to work along with the original one in my NRG ROM.
I know I tried taking the mms apk from the NRG ROM and putting it on another ROM I tried and it would NOT work.
Thanks for ideas and I will continue to try things.
yeah, only one apn for both, they are set up so that anything mms related is set up through the one apn. The only time you'd need another is if you're swapping between sim card from a different carrier, for example I have a bell apn set up so if I want to swap in my work sim in my phone I'm ready to go with data and all.
What other roms have you tried? I've tried some and found mms to be an issue, esp. on some of the speed rom versions.

yup I have an amaze.
This mms.apk works for mms on my end, paste it in your current rom /system/app folder and if mms is working in your current rom mms.apk, then it should work for this one. If it does work, then copy your apn exactly as is in another rom, and paste this apk in the same folder, and it should work.

When I first ran 7.0 I thought it was the smoothest rom for the phone (still left it on my amaze when I gave it to my nephew)... but after testing for the guy... i was like wtf?
When I did testing for 4ext for madmaxx82 and 4th bar ics for craigtut, the devs were much more knowledgeable and professional about their work.

what rom are you running?
did you uninstall or remove the messaging app so you just had this one?
I have two galaxy notes.. and one sends MMS just fine the other doesn't they both receive and both have data access.
I am switching my StraightTalk Sim between the phones to test and i have confirmed about 800 times the APN settings are exact. But to no avail one works one doesn't... THe only difference is the version of Flapjaxx rom i am running ones a version newer.
I have the same thing with my FJ 4.2.2 ROM. MMS won't receive but will send. Other than that, I love the ROM.
The APN settings that come with a ROM are in an XML file (just a text file, really). If there is an extra space or blank character in that file the APN setting will be wrong. You won't even see it if its at the end of a line.
In the phone with Flapjaxxx ROM make another APN, save it, and use it. When you verify it works correctly for data and MMS, delete the other.

i figured it out.. the APN was correct and by default it would not send then i remember i used GO SMS pro and enabled the custom MMS apn.. so i redid that and bam the second phone works now. Thanks all for the help
That app was stopping your MMS?
Where does it keep the APN?
When I attach pictures to an instant message, the message never seems to go through. I tried with the stock messenger and with handcesnt. It first says it will reduce the size of the image, then it is attached and when I send it just indicates it is uploading (the little progress circle animation), but it never seems to finish. Uploads work fine in other applications and this issue is the same with both WiFi and LTE connectivity. I am running SnowJB v1.1 (4.1.2). I searched the LGOG forums for: texting pictures and found nothing. I tried to post this in the Snow JB thread, but I am too new to post there so I put it here. Any help appreciated.
You'll have to change your APN settings. I don't have the right settings but it's listed multiple times in the SnowJB thread.

Thanks, found the settings and it worked.
Only thing, is I now have two APN's with the same name. Could I rename the new one ATT2 to differentiate, or would changing anything from the instructions, including the name, affect it somehow. I would think the name wouldn't matter, but the instructions had said to give it the same name as the default APN, so maybe it matters.
Again, thanks for the help.

I tried all I knew to try before posting and have been at this for over a week. I have the straight talk s3 and its compatible with Verizon aosp ROMs and CWM and with that said, I have working MMS on all jb ROMs but when I flash a KitKat ROM it no longer works.
Things I have tried...
Taken the apn-conf.XML from the stock TW and replacing the kk conf.xml.
Taken the a conf.XML from the working jb also ROM and replacing the km one.
Tried the app APN backup and restore with no luck. And there is no way to manually enter the APN on the ST s3. Im stumped as it works fine with 4.3.. So I. Sure there is a fix I'm overlooking or don't know enough to fix. Thanks in advance.
Have you tried another SMS app that supports adding your own MMS settings? That's a common way to fix issues like this when flashing to another CDMA service or using roms for another phone...

Thanks for the reply.. yeah.. I have been using handcent but would really like to fix it to where I could use the stock messaging app and maybe hangouts. I'm new to this but I think the 3rd party app is fixing the problem I should be able to go in with a file browser and correct it, right? I still have a copy of the stock rom if there is a file I need from it and also aosp 4.3 roms the mms works if there is a file I could use from there. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to answer my question.
This rom has an APN Config feature: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2598410
Maybe you should see how they implement that to see if you can port it to the rom you are using.

That's was my fault.. Forgot to move to priv app.. However I did get it to restore and I rebooted and tried to send a pic and still stuck at sending. I was for sure that would have fixed it.

There has to be some settings else where in there..?? Than I turned around and installed a SMS app and entered the APN and was able to send a MMS. I'm stumped.
