[Q] MMS sending and receiving problems

I got a HTC HD7 unbranded since today.
Everything is fine except MMS. I cannot send or recieve MMS.
The one I recieve are stored to Swisscom and not the phone. The one I try to send are not sent with an error message like "impossible to send message"
3G is on, I have tried to install HTC Config Connexion and launch it, but withtout success.
Does anyone had the same issue with Swisscom or other carrier ?
Thanks for your answer,
Mav

are you using the phone with the same carrier it was setup for?
Have you tried to add apn settings?

Every carrier has a specific number for its mms to transmit, when in your mms settings there is a SMS center number, check and make sure it is correct for the carrier you are using.
I guess the first question to ask is, do you regular SMS work? or both giving you errors?

I have seen this APN setting, but I don't know where to put all these settings, I have found one place about APN, but I can enter only 3 settings...so this will not work.
SMS are working fine and data connection is on.
I will continue searching.....but if you have other ideas, don't hesitate to contact me.

Had the same issue and called Swisscom.
Result: You don't need to configure anything on the phone, BUT Swisscom needs to activate the MMS service for your device. Don't ask why, but it worked, I just had to restart my HTC HD7

[Q] boostmobile mms discontinues MMS & GPS?!

the guy that flashed my phone told me that as of april 30, boostmobile is phasing out mms and gps to many 3g phones. unlucky for me the rant(my donor phone is on that list) i contacted him after i havent been able to send or receive mms. my gps works fine. i searched google and here for any info on this, and couldnt find anything he also said the only why to get mms back on is to get a new donor(incognito). i would like to know if this true.
2ndly can any one help or point me to info that will get my mms working again. i have tried the ##3282# to edit advance method. but i cant find mmsc(or anything close to that) to change to mm.myboostmobile.com. I went to my stock messaging-mms setting and it has the mm.myboostmobile set already. also went to mobile network setting but "access point names" cant be selected. please help anyone.

so i spoke with customer service and its true they have discontinued multimedia for the rant and other nonandroid/smart phones. he gave me 50% off on any smart phone on boostmobile.com but he said the incognito is nonsmart and cant get mms either. anyone have there htc one flashed? does your mms still work? is there anyone with input or suggestions? help

[Q] iPhone to G4 MMS Issues

Wondering if anyone else has run into this issue. My girlfriend recently left Verizon (on iPhone 5) and took her number to T-Mobile. She decided to buy the LG G4 (I have the G3 on Verizon and she really liked it) but is having issues with receiving picture or group messages from other iPhones. I can message her fine, and I don't have any issues receiving these messages on my G3 (on Verizon). If we are on the same thread, sometimes she won't get the message until I or another android user responds to it.
When she left Verizon they told her that iPhone users would have to turn iMessage off & on in order for it to work, but that has led to mixed results. She will get a few group messages or picture messages from certain recipients but inevitably will end up missing another one (her texting app will show "New MMS Message" and a download button, but pressing that doesn't do anything). She's contacted T-Mobile but all they ever say is to reboot her phone, or clear the Messaging app data. Generally this fixes it temporarily, but unable to fix completely.
Since I'm unfamiliar with T-Mobile and the G4, I was wondering if anyone can share their experiences with this? Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks!

If she's getting the MMS notification, then it's not related to iMessage. How long has it been since she switched? I believe some messages might get routed to the wrong carrier for a while.
I have been with T-Mobile for a long time and have not had MMS issues with any of the phones I have used. I have a G4 at the moment and MMS work fine with everyone (including iOS users). Group messaging can be tricky when dealing with iPhones though, I have missed some messages before, I get no notification, they're just lost. If the message is not being downloaded, I would make sure the APN settings are correct on her G4.
She can also try a different SMS app. I use Textra and it lets you manually configure an APN if the system one is having issues.

Thanks. I actually just recommended she try Textra and it seems to be holding up for now. As far as APN settings go, where is the most reliable place to find the correct ones? I see them posted all over the internet but am not sure what is new/legitimate. Would T-Mobile be able to provide them?

Yes, T-Mobile should be able to provide them, but her phone should already have the right ones, especially if it's a T-Mobile branded device.
Mine is (on my T-Mobile branded G4)
T-Mobile LTE
APN fast.t-mobile.com
MMSC http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
APN type default, supl, mms
APN protocol IPV6

There are a lot of threads about this, the TMo G4 has issues downloading MMS for some reason. In group chats that are MMS it's even worse. I finally gave up on the G4 because it loses too many messages and can't download half the ones that it does get.

I have these exact APN settings and have a ton of MMS issues, not to mention all the lost texts I never get...

Anyone try changing APN to epc.tmobile.com? Just changed this myself, going to test it out

Figured it out
I mentioned in another thread... I used Textra and it has a special setting that fixes this issue.

What setting did you use?

It's under MMS settings:

Ah yes! The Wi-Fi calling fix? That can solve some issues when using Textra if you use WiFi calling, but the stock app should take care of that.
I haven't had any issues with group MMS, so I wonder if those that are having them are on WiFi and with WiFi calling enabled when they have these issues.

I don't know if it helps with WiFi calling or not! But it fixed my MMS sending and receiving problem!

MMS not working - "Message not downloaded"

I'm very surprised nobody else has posted about this...I cannot get MMS to work with either my AT&T or my Verizon SIM card. I've checked APN settings for both, and both look perfect.
It shows that I've received a message, and I have an option to click download, but it never downloads and after a few hours I get a notification saying "Message not downloaded."
Does anybody have any insight?
That is literally the only quirk I have with this phone. Beyond that, it's by far the best device I've ever owned.

Thanks, but unfortunately not helpful. I've already been through the APN settings. Email doesn't solve the problem of receiving MMS messages from people.

same issue, all apn settings are accurate, only problem on this phone.

I'm not on AT&T but the issue is the same. Have exact same APN settings I do in 3 other phones that work flawlessly.

Use textra.
I couldn't get it to work in hangouts.
Use textra and make sure to check mms behaviour "system"
No need for apn settings
I'm on at&t straight talk and this definitely works

What is "MMS behavior system" is that a setting in Textra.

You never turn on MMS? Holy ****. What's the point of having a almost $1000 cell phone if you have to use email in place of MMS?

For some reason UK charges on MMS are ridiculous, well at least on my network.

For whatever reason, it started working. I only did one thing; I disabled my number 1 sim and made number 2 my primary data (1 was AT&T and 2 was Verizon.) I also made sure my WiFi was disabled before I started. Then I reversed the change, and all of a sudden every missing MMS started downloading, and I got them all.
No idea if what I did made a difference, or how, or even if it will stay working, but thought maybe somebody would like to give it a shot.

I actually don't know anyone who's using MMS around me, and I thought it's an outdated tech just like SMS. I live in UK also, maybe it's just not that popular here. Why would you use MMS when you have all these new chating apps which you can send anything you want for free (as long as you have data)?

Yo. I work for ATT and have the att nxtgenphone APN settings. Works fine.
Let me know if you need them.
.
I'd also download pulse. Let it set up then if you don't like it switch back to your preferred SMS app. That worked for me.

I'm using AT&T and can receive MMS. Group texts are another issue (they're simply unsupported by xiaomi across MIUI, google), but pictures and what not works fine. I use the default "ATT Phone" which comes preloaded. It works fine and allows 4G.

Im on ATT and it seems like I can't receive MMS, but I can send them. Can someone who this works for post their APN settings?
Edit: nxtgenphone works. Turns out Facebook Messenger was just ****ing it up for me. When it's my default SMS app, I can't receive or send MMS. Does anyone know what is up with that? I've had MMS problems on 3 phones now with Messenger...

Group texting...

Did not know this was a issue...I got the mi mix a week ago and have been trying different messaging apps, even gave up project fi... all because Group Texting was not working. I got picture messages to work, but the group texting simply won't work. Is there a workaround? Even potentially getting it to work with a different ROM?

Only messaging app that works for MMS group messages is TEXTRA

I'm having the same issue with both Verizon and T-mobile, nor does MMS or group SMS work. The interesting thing is that I'm also having issue with VoLTE (can't get online while on the phone), I'm wondering if it's related.

Hi guys,
Can y'all please try NEXT SMS and see if it work. Once you downloaded, open the app and inn the top left drop down, select More, then hit Setting, then select All on the right side, select MMS setting, then enter your carrier MMSC and PORT only. Carrier setting= Manual. Ok the bottom, or a check mark for using data for mms. Custom user agent= iPhone. Mms framework= smart.
Hope this help, it worked for me on Verizon

MMS on T-Mobile

Has anyone else on T-Mobile have trouble sending/receiving MMS messages over cellular? I'll get a notification that I got a photo to download, but it just sits there spinning. If I tried to send a photo it just sits there on the sending part.
However, if I get on WiFi it's fine. Just cellular. On Android Messenger. Anyone else having this issue?

Hey TJK..........
Did you use the APN settings mentioned here? Scroll down to "Android APN settings". If your settings don't match those, then create a NEW APN and copy over everything EXACTLY as written on that site (which is OFFICIAL T-Mobile btw), then Save, then restart your phone to be safe. Then ask someone you know to text you a pic (aka MMS) and if you receive it, you're good. You could also try sending that person a pic if you like, but I bet if one works the other will too.
Note: For the APN Type line, make sure you have NO spaces after each comma.
That's weird about it only happening on cellular, but anyway, try all that and let me know what happens.
Good luck!

I didn't have any issues when I was on T-Mo. I have quite a few contacts that refuse to use anything other than standard texting, so I end up with a lot of MMS messages.
