I have always had mms issues on gingerbread, 90% of the time it will not work. This is not carrier related as i have tried every method and various apns. It must be 2.3.3 related as I have tried a dozen roms as well. Is there a fix for this??
Cheers

Works ok here on optus and JVH custom rom. Seems like theres a bit of delay in recieving them though.
Sending it just keeps trying to send. Receiving seems fine

Normally the best way to get this configured is through requesting the automatic configuration message from the provider via an sms.

Not always available, for instance Virgin are unable to send to my SGS, the only thing they recommend is you send one to yourself first.
I have had issues and it took me a while to resolve, it is nearly 99% down to the APN settings you use, my latest GB install stuffed me at first, there were NO APN settings in there !! had me foxed for a while before I remembered and checked.

True. Easiest way. But as the above poster said... Not all providers do that.
Almost certainly an apns problem. Use Google to find the right apns for your provider and make sure your mms apns is set properly.
I had a similar problem, fixed it by adding HTTP:// before the URL in the mms apns.

Done all the suggestions above 10 times, tried various apn configurations as well. I really can't fix this fault
My girl friend sent some very raunchy photos while I'm away which i can receive but I can't send any back...

Hey guys I just got an HTC Vivid a few days ago and I love the phone, the screen is such an upgrade from my iPhone 4(in usability).
I do have an issue where I cannot receive any MMS messages at all. I can send them just fine and I can sent receive regular texts, but picture messages just come up with a download button but once pressed it will say downloading and switch back to saying download.
I already called AT&T about it and they where unable to do anything about it. Any ideas? If I do not get this figured out by Monday, I will likely try to exchange my phone...
Make sure you have a LTE data plan provisioned and you have selected the default apn. Also you may want to go into a corp store and get a new sim.

i had this problem about 1.5 weeks ago and it was a network issue... it was resolved within a day or 2... what usually worked for me was to reboot the phone, after ATT fixed the problem then all was good.
It was indeed an issue with the default APN settings. After setting the APN to what is described in the link below my MMS works 100% perfectly! Thanks for the help.

I don't have Vivid in front of me ATM but maybe you can try and create a new APN instead of modifying the existing one.
Yes you can press the options button and create a new APN.
Sorry for the bump of a thread. This is what I get. "One or more of the message components have been deleted by MMS Adaptation. Either the message was too large or the components were unsuitable for your terminal".
Sender was using an iphone 4. I can receive other pictures from my friends 4s.
Would updating the AP fix this and would doing so effect anything with the network?
Sorry I am a noob.

What apn are you using. If there isn't one, that's your problem.
i727-ucle2-SkY IcS
if you can explain to me what is the apn i will tell you because i do not know what it is

Go into settings and then find mobile networks, then look for access point names (apn) and see if has any in there.
i727-ucle2-SkY IcS
no i dont have any in there
FWIW, I've sent many SMS from an unlocked Android device (Xperia Active) w/ out any APN at all (SMS uses the voice system). MMS is another story, iirc it uses the SMS system as a notifier then data APN to actually download the message.
Is your Note setup to be sending MMS instead somehow?
The APN is going to be different depending on what carrier you have. The best way is is to probably search Google for it.
Thanks you beat me to it lol. I know missing apns can cause weird stuff on some of those prepay, straight talk etc I wasn't sure of the carrier I just about to ask

Hi, I have note been able to send any SMS'es for the last 1 or 2 days, neither with the stock app or Go SMS. The only error message I get is a notification "Unable to send message"
I can receive SMS'es, I can call people, I can answer calls, I can use my data... I just can't send SMS'es.
It MIGHT have something to do with me playing around with market enabler (to use all the google services).
Currently running the stable CM 10.1.3
If anyone has any suggestions, then please help me

Hasn't apn only got to do with mms/internet?
I set my apn settings up again according to this:
Name: Plus
APN: plus
Authentication type: PAP
APN type: default
activated it and nothing changed
On TW Roms there used to be a setting called message center number which if incorrect could cause problems with sending SMS. Cant seem to find that in cm

Thanks, I tried that but the SMSC settings weren't sticking :/ so I just reflashed with a full wipe, all working now

This is my wife's new X. She wanted a freaking Iphone but I talked her into this. Just some color here.
She now has a notification in the tool bar that reads "messages unable to send." If you pull it down, it brings you to the general text app. There is nothing that tells her WHAT messages didn't send. It's driving her crazy. Even to the point of her going to Verizon (which she despises) who were, of course, zero help. Made her delete all her texts and it's still happening. All her texts read as sent and if you exit the text app, the notification goes away for a few seconds then reappears.
Need to know if any of you guys have an idea of why this is happening and if so, how to stop it.
She'll turn that thing into an iphone by the end of the week if I can't figure it out.
Thanks gang.
Does she have an active mobile data connection? I think she needs that to text on Verizon, wifi may not be sufficient.

Anyone else have a guess? It's driving her nuts.
Are her messages actually being sent and received?
Remove her sim and reinsert.
Google the Verizon APN settings and confirm they are correct in network settings.
Try a different texting app. I'd recommend Textra or hangouts.
If none of that works reply here I'm sure there will be more help incoming.
I sometimes have this problem when sending pictures to iPhones, it will constantly fail to send. Rebooting usually solves it

Have you tried Settings > Apps > swipe R to L to get to All > Messaging > Force stop > Clear cache > Clear data. Restart and try another message. Or as others have suggested, try another messaging app. I really like 8SMS and have set that as my default messaging app and set Active Notifications to show 8SMS notifications by default.
Switched to Chomp SMS and it's fine.
Thanks all.

I had the same problem before the 4.4.3 update. It was picture mail that wouldn't send. Our APNs have a dedicated MMS APN that needed to be configured for my mvno . once I configured the APN I rebooted and it sent whatever picture mail I had been trying to send out.

A lot of people actually seem to be having trouble with SMS after the 4.4.3 update. It generally seems to be because they've disabled the app "messaging" and for whatever reason, they can't reenable it after the update.
It doesn't make much sense though, because texting apps can't rout messages through other apps anymore.

I had the problem before the update and after I updated it was already fixed but it was because my service provider and I figured it out before the update

I'd been getting the unsent SMS every couple days on 4.4.2. I used 'Permission Friendly Apps' to find what had 'Send SMS' permissions. I don't use Skype from my phone, so I uninstalled it. I also disabled SMS and turned off the 'Improve Hangouts' option in Hangouts. After about a week, still no mysterious empty message.
It's not proof any of that fixes anything, but may be worth a try?

After updating to Lollipop, my AT&T S4 Active quit sending and receiving MMS.
Spent an hour on the the phone with Straight Talk to no avail. They say everything is right on their end and everything is set correctly on my end.
Is anyone else having this problem? Does anyone have a solution?

Did you check the APN settigns? Default Network type?
I did. I went through numerous checks and changes of the APN with Straight Talk support to no avail.
The only thing that has changed is going to Lollipop.
(I have even tried switching to several different messaging apps- AT&T messaging, Google messenger, and Go SMS Pro.)

Did you try clearing cache/dalvik in stock recovery? And why does your signature say SM-G900A, I assume you have the i537 as well? (Sorry just gotta filter out the obvious solutions til we can get down to the bottom of this).
I have and use the s5 (900a) and my wife uses the s4active (537).
I did try wiping the Dalvik and cache to no avail.

Hello I too have been having the issue with MMS since upgrading to lollipop, it will show pending and not send. Now if i turn on my wifi then it will send, and thats the only way i have figured it out on my phone. I have cricket service and when calling in to ask about this issue, they advised me thats its only on this phone that wifi is needed to send or receieve mms. I tried removing Google messenger but that didnt work either as well as deleting cache in recovery. Is anyone else having this issue on this phone.
I have the International version and have had a similar problem for a while. If I try to send or receive MMS my mobile (cell) data stops. I have to turn if off and on again and wait to get to wifi to see the picture. Did you have a problem with cell data crashing aaronkemp172460?
I also use Google Messenger as my sms app, maybe I need to ditch it.
