MMS not working w/ Hero. Cupcake/Donut work fine. - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All. Has anyone run into this and maybe have a solution?
I have tested 5-6 Hero ROMS and 4-5 Cupcake/Donut ROMS in the last week or two. None of the Hero ROM's will send/receive MMS. All of the Cupcake/Donut ROM's work fine as far as MMS goes. Hero always times out when sending, even to myself. I've checked the APN's and they are identical.
When I install a new ROM, I re-format my ext partition, wipe a few times and check for errors, etc., before flashing. The ROM's work as they should, the only consistent issue I have is the MMS. Usually, other people say it works fine for them.
If anyone has any ideas or has experienced this/fixed it, please let me know. I would really appreciate any help. This is a Hero daily use show stopper for me. I can't believe I'm the only one experiencing this. At least I hope not!

i not sure i too see some have prob some dont .but im on hero rom right now ,have been for a while .all i have tryed i have no prob with mms at all .i have t mobile .it makes me wonder if it has some thing to do with carrier .not as much as the roms ? but i could be wrong .i have a friend on att and it issues with his mms .

Very strange. I'm on T-Mo also... I use switchrom and can go back and forth and Hero just won't work.

MMS issues with 6.1 ROMS?

I know its like beating a dead horse, has anyone on TMOBILE been able to consistently get MMS messages? I have tried and tried and can't seem to get them to work. I can send them fine all day. It never receives them though. I have ran several different CAB files to try can get them going. I have even set them up manually too. Anyone managed to figure something out?

I have inconsistencies with receiving as well. It's been that way for awhile, but I'm hop[ing the next batch of 6.1 roms has this fixed. I believe Ivan got it to work on his clean rom.
Same here.. Add me to the lineup... Sending fine, receiving is the problem.. Touch 3.0
right now im testing out open touch biggy and I haven't had any issues like I did with some other 6.1's. I thought I would but so far so good. I really like this rom its the first I've tried other than itje's work. these guys really know how to cook. hopefully opentouch 4.0 will have all the bugs worked out

i have a tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=708937, im no longer on metro so and havent been in about month. if you've never flashed a moto droid before you have a lot of reading to do. you can start with my thread, and go from there to the howard form link. theres a little more you have to do since metro updated the password change for hudini devices. if your totally lost in my thread go to howard and seek help there, in metro pcs smartphone flashing forum.
thanks have a good day
i was hoping that i didnt have to do that since its already flashed to metro pcs
I hope im not to late to help but all you have to do is find a way to access the apn and then turn it on. You can use an app like better cut or smartbar. I only mention smartbar because thats how I came across the apn
i just got my wifes D1 flashed and works great, all works no issues. well, except that the ROM installed constantly freezes and i am not too sure the issue. seems to be a camera freeze only so may be related to the other things.
is there a 2.2 ROM list that will work better than Chevy's?

Looking for some help...

..In picking out which is the best droid setup for me.
I was here months back when I setup droid on my Vogue(US Cellular) and over the course of a couple days of trying out different builds and testing, I found that Warm Doughnut was the best working one for me at the time. Unlike the Froyo build on here that I tried, doughnut's data connection worked fine (and right away) without any setup at all whereas I couldn't get it running for the life of me on Froyo.
However, I'm wanting to swap out past doughnut now to a more updated version of Android. Which would you all recommend? I've been reading some good reviews on the Gingerbread build... However, I'm worried about calls/sms/data and all of the other features... Which are working which aren't?
I'd have to have them all working (like current setup on doughnut) to make the switch, else it'll just be pointless for me.
Now I ask the same of the FroYo build on here. Before it worked fine for me, except the data functions... I couldn't get it to connect at all for the life of me.
So, I ask of you all with more experience with this phone than me. What would you suggest? What works for you? Doughnut, Froyo, or Gingerbread?
I want to get Froyo running if I can (about to put it back on and give it a go) but not having a data connection will kill the idea for me. And even better would be if I can get Gingerbread running, but only if I can get in/outgoing calls, sms, data, (gps hopefully) and bluetooth.
Thanks in advance for any/all support you guys can give me!
Superfroyo seems very stable and functional to me. I'm on Sprint. Even MMS works though you have to fiddle with it. Gingerbread's not all there yet stabilitywise.

Thanks for the reply! I felt the same when I tried it out months ago, my only issue is getting the data running... Did you have to fiddle with yours a lot to get it working? I know you're on Sprint and I'm on US Cellular, but from what I can tell the two shouldn't be that different to setup. Maybe I didn't give it enough time/work before to get data running (or maybe I was doing it wrong).
Also, I'm going to be using it from my SD card (like I have previously) for a while and make sure its solid before I think about wiping my WM6.1 off and replacing it altogether. Doughnut worked fine off of the SD card, I'm assuming Froyo will as well? Didn't give it too much time before, but when I did have it going on the SD card before I didn't notice it chugging along at all.
Another thing, do I have to use WM6.5 to get this going, or is it ok using WM6.1 like I am? Would prefer not to have to redo (and backup all that nonsense) for my 6.1 if I don't have to.
I totally wiped windows mobile and run off nand. It's snappy enough and data worked straight off. No fiddling.

Well, got Froyo running... But no data running yet... Enabled Data, enabled data while roaming (roaming majority of the time anyways) and nothing yet...
Ideas anyone?

[Q] HTC Hero Alaska Communications

I have rooted and succesfully backed up my original rom I am wandering since I use verizon networks will the roms for sprint be the wrong roms for my phone.I would like a rom that is stable and fast that will let me configure wap mms sms so that i can use my phone on Page Plus which is on verizon networks. THANX
I have been reading that the eris is basically the same phone different skin branded for verizon so will eris roms work on my phone. THANX
Also forgot to mention that my hero came from Alaska Communications Services. I dont know how much different the phone is from others but it looks just like the sprint phone. There website calls it a HERO 200. This should have been further up even though I put it in the header someone might get confused as to what I meant in the heading. I do know the htc sync is different the 1 for sprint would not work so I looked up there site and downloaded from there and it works great. THANX
Hmm seems no one knows or I asked a question no one wants to tackle.
since you backed up your stock rom.. why not just try an eris or a hero rom? whats the worst that could happen? it doesn't work and you restore?
it shouldnt matter what rom u use as long as its for the cdma hero, roms do not affect data unless it specifically says so.
So the rom only changes rom and nothing else. I have been reading on this for only a week and learning by the minute thankyou both for your reply.Beirce22 I noticed you are using cyanogen 7.1 does everything like camera, gps, etc work well for you and how fast is it im ready to start my first rom flash. THANX
yes cyanogen is very stable its been my daily for about a week now and everything works as far as i know.

MMS Problem on 6.0/6.01

MMS is not working on 6.0 or 6.01 stock roms. Also not working on latest CM13 roms. Did the research, found this is not an isolated problem. Tried all the suggestions, none worked. Tried stock and every other messenging app available. No MMS. For me this is a deal-breaker as I am on call 24/7/365. So, I had to downgrade to last CM12 rom. Works fine now. Don't want to be there but I will have to wait until it is fixed to upgrade again.

I have no issues with mms on DU which is 6.0.1 based. Are you sure you have the proper apns set up?

Yes, I do have correct APN. I was not able to check it with Textra, but was able to do that with Chomp. Phone is a Nexus 6. MMS did not work on stock 6.01 or after rooting. Also did not work on first CM13 or latest one. Also, I am on AT&T. Even tried the T-Mobile fix, but no go. I am not upset as everything is working on last CM12 rom (11-29-2015). To be honest, I do not like Marshmallow and am content to stay where I am until it all gets sorted out. However, I am always willing to try any new suggestions. Note that I am not a developer or a NOOB. Have been with CM since CM7. My Nook Color is still working great on that.

Ok then if you decide to wanna figure it out. Grab a logcat of you trying to send an mms and post it. Maybe someone can figure it out.

OK, that sounds like a deal. How about after January 1st I download the latest CM13 to see if the problem persists. I will let you know either way. If it does I will try whatever you recommend. The holidays are a busy time for me, being a Trauma Chaplain and Grief & Trauma Councillor. And 71. Have a very Merry Christmas.
Thanks
You were correct, it was an APN issue. I upgraded from CM12 to latest CM13. No MMS. I checked APN: added "hipri" to APN Type and "v6" to APN protocol. Now have MMS. I thought I had done that before in Chomp, but this time, did it in settings on the phone. All is well. Thank you for the advice and for your patience with an older hacker.
