Not receiving MMS with CM 4.0.4

I am unable to receive MMS since I started using CM 4.0.4 a few weeks ago. I can send it without a problem. My friend sent me 10 MMS, I only received 2. Is there any reason for this or is it just a problem with the ROM? Neither the stock Messaging app is getting it or ChompSMS. I have tried it with auto-retrieve both on and off.

Send yourself two mms messages

What are you saying?

Could be a network thing ... but to make sure send your self 2 mms and see if they come back .I think this resets something in your carrier's servers
just open your messaging app put your number in select a pic and send

Ive already tried that, I receive the message from myself. But anyone else, I dont receive or only receive every once in a while.

call up tmobile and have them check your settings on their end, don't tell them your running a custom rom ...

i would say just reflash since it was working and stopped, (off topic) my g1's accelerometer stopped working out of nowhere so i reflashed 4.0.4 and it worked like a charm. hope this does it for you

ill try reflashing then, I called up Tmobile, they just concluded it was my phone and wanted to send me a new one lol

LOL you shoulda taken them up on the offer

well, im 99% sure its because I am running a custom ROM in addition with the MMS.apk modded (not by me, just came in the ROM). Im flashing to 4.1999

lol i agree with b man

Back to original voicemail

I tried Google Voicemail after I flashed my first ROM. I hate it and got rid of it, now my problem is, it is still synced to my phone and I do not know how to get my old voicemail number to manually enter it into my phone to reset it back to normal.
Please help! lol

grab your phone. open the dial pad. and type 611 and talk to customer care.
Each area's voicemail number should be different. So, either google search it. or call customer care, tell them you were fiddling with it, and cant remember what it is. 611 is a free call.
Mods please close thread.

Thank you.

[Q] HTC Hero ROM to disable radio

Hi guys I have done some searching but havent been able to find anything so I apologize if this is out there already. I also apologize if this is in the wrong area.
I got a different phone and I want to use my Hero for music, videos etc. I am looking for a ROM that would allow me to disable the baseband radio so I can conserve battery life as I no longer need to make calls. Any suggestions?
Thanks

The best you'll get is either using TB to freeze the phone app, or put in airplane mode.
BANG! from my shooter...

If you download any Cm6,Cm7 or aosp rom could do this. Open up the phone dialer and dial
*#*#4636#*#*
A menu will open up. From that menu choose phone settings. Then scroll down to the bottom of the menu and you will see "Turn off radio".
Hope this helps.

I did this and it worked fine. My question is, I am going to Europe tomorrow and I only want to use my phone for wifi. Its on Sprint so i don't think I will get service in London anyways. Will this do the trick for me?

actually thatll work on alll roms

You can enable airplane mode and use wifi as well.

I am in London. It's raining like hell and humid, don't be too envious. I have the radio turned off on the phone and only wifi enabled. My Sprint phone number has been integrated and is now my Google Voice number, so all my texts/voicemails go to GV app. My question is, if I send and receive texts via wifi on GV app, will sprint still charge me for international text messages? The radio and mobile data are definitely off. Thanks.

I have a very stripped down ROM that I might get around to posting tomorrow. Might put the phone apk back in, but have radio off by default.
If you have the radiooptions binary, you can disable the radio using it. It should be in /system/bin/radiooptions

I don't think so being your on wifi and all things connected to sprint are shut down. But if you want to be safe just read upon Google voice and pricing for text and call's internationally. Also give sprint a call to be on the safe side. I can't answer that for a100% but I'm like 99.9% sure if the radio is off you should be good. By the way if you don't mind if you see anything worth a snap shot take a few. And if you also don't mind sharing them in a pm that would be pretty smooth. I wouldn't mind having a few pics of london. Thanks and I hope you enjoy the trip.

Can receive and send texts for free using GV!
16:35:54 : Daisy Y: At this time Google Voice text messaging doesn't support sending and receiving text messages from international numbers, with the exception of Canadian numbers. You can only send and receive text messages to phone numbers in the U.S and Canada.
16:38:00 : nayeem01: ok
16:38:05 : nayeem01: i have a further question
16:38:13 : Daisy Y: Sure.
16:38:56 : nayeem01: i know i can only send texts to US and Canada phone numbers. but I am in Europe at the current time. my phone is off. but i am using google voice on my computer to send text messages. is there a charge for that?
16:39:14 : nayeem01: my google voice number and sprint number are merged.
16:41:04 : Daisy Y: Yes, you will be charged for text @ $0.20 for the text.
16:41:38 : nayeem01: Why is that I am not even using my sprint phone? I am texting from my computer.
16:43:14 : Daisy Y: Let me confirm again.
16:43:19 : Daisy Y: Please give me a moment.
16:45:33 : nayeem01: Ok. My phone is OFF and does not even get service in London so its physically impossible for me to send/receive messages here. But, I can use the Google Voice site to send/receive messages to my normal Sprint number because they are merged. Just want to confirm there's no charge when I am texting from Google's Voice website even though its my Sprint Phone number.
16:46:59 : Daisy Y: Nayeem, you are correct. You will not be charge for the send text via Internet through your computer.
16:47:40 : nayeem01: even though it is using my sprint phone number?
16:47:49 : Daisy Y: Yes.
16:48:16 : nayeem01: Ok. Can you please notate this on my account so if I have any charges next month, I can tell them to read the notes.
16:48:39 : Daisy Y: Yes, I have put the note on your account.

If you have.a Sense Rom? I believe you can press *#*#4636#*#* through your phones Dialer. From there you'll be brought to a Menu where you could choose Phone Info
and Try to Turn Off the phones Radio! Try that....
Good Luck!

now, what about going as far as actually removing phone functionality from the rom altogether? what apks and files need to be removed?

Anyone made a ROM without radio?
Getting my new phone tomorrow, and want to make my phone completetly without radio, to use as a mediaplayer for use in my car.

There is no ROM without radio. Radio is not a part of the ROM, but a part of the software below that level. I could make a completely stripped down ROM that only has what you want in it if you want. You just have to disable your radio yourself.

Does anyone know if this will also disable the ability to dial 911?

Yes, if you disable radio all calls and data (not wifi) won't work as it's not connected to any cell towers.

Awsome thanks i let my grand daughter play with it and dont want any suprises.

Not Receiving Text Messags

After I rooted, im not receiving any text messages. But i know i can send messages. I could also make and receive phone calls. Ive tried using a sense rom to update prl and profile which updated but still not receiving text messages. Anyone have any ideas why?

Try sending the text 'Allow all' without the parentheses to 9999
Sent from Dorian's EVO 3D

Tried. Didnt seem to have worked. any more suggestions?

If the "allow all" text didn't work, and using a sense rom to update prl/profile doesn't work - I would suggest downloading the RUU and reverting completely back to stock. See if it works then, if it does root with z4 or w/e you like and go back to the rom/nandroid you had before.
if it doesn't work call sprint or bring it in to one of their stores
Also, just wondering; you do have plenty of free space on your phone right? People seem to get really weird problems when their phone is running low on internal storage.
And do you use google voice for voicemail?
And what, if anything, did you do at or around the time it started acting up? (ie installed new apps, flashed new kernel, etc.)
Sent from my HERO200 using xda premium

Question1: Yeah i have plenty of space no apps installed.
Question2:Yeah i use google voice. but is not set up right now since i just rooted.
Question3: First noticed no messages being received when i rooted i believe.
Guess illl try to the RUU and see if that works.

Used RUU. Still not being able to receive messages. going to have to contact Sprint.

Try useing a different RUU if your going to doit again, see if that works...just a thought. Later

I have been having problems receiving texts as well ever since I installed a new ROM (this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090234) 2 days ago.
All functions seem to work fine, including outgoing text messages, but incoming do not work at all.
I had been running Cyanogen Mod 6 for about a year without any problems except speed, just wanted to try a newer and possibly faster ROM. I did have issues whenever I would get a "low space" indicator but that doesn't seem to be the case with the current issue.
I am using Google Voice for voicemail.
My service provider is Cellular South, btw, not Sprint.

Ran the RUU but still didnt work. so i updated to newest build and still didnt work. still havent had a chance to call Sprint.

Problem Solved. Since sprint merged with google my settings where changed and were set to receive text messages to google voice and not my phone. If anyone else has this problem just go to your account in google voice settings and make sure that theres a check mark next to receive text to phone. thanks to all for the help =)

That didn't work for me
Of course, I'm not on Sprint, but Cellular South. Still no joy on my end. I actually reverted back to my previous CyanogenMod via Nandroid, which WAS receiving text messages just fine, but now it doesn't work either.
I have the original Cell South 2.1 RUU I could use if necessary, but hoping not to have to do that. Looking like I might have to, though.

Finally got it up and running.
I was about to run the 2.1 RUU but then remembered I made a Nandroid backup of my 2.1 Sense-based config before the first time I rooted so I restored to it and dialed *228 to download the latest updates. The texts then started working, so then I reverted back to my Nandroid backup of my new ROM and it worked like a charm!

[Q] JB SMS issue

Hi, having SMS issue with my SGS on Remics-JB 3.0.1 - I receive no SMS. When I put SIM in another phone SMS are finally received. Sending SMS is OK, i can send messages and they are delivered to addressee so it is not problem with SMSC. Only no SMS are delivered to my SGS although I test sending from web or another phone. I had this issue with all ICS and JB roms I tested, sometimes after flash it was all right and problem started later and sometimes the issue appeared right after flash. Got back GB and it was fine but now I tested JB again and the issue is still here, although I did all wipes and clears before and after flash, had made no restore via TB or Go backup. I am getting really anoyed from this, tried another SMS app and no result. Could you advise me what will help, I had an idea to try another modem but dont know which

I think so, in phone menu it is displayed, cant compare it now with box cause I am not at home. Flashing GB or Froyo resolves it and phone calls, logging in mobile network is OK.
Edit: Mean on ICS/JB phone calls and mobile network works, SMS sending works, SMS receiving NOT work.
On older android works everything.

its odd, looks like you have something installed to block out sms reception like this maybe ...which I doubt

IMEI does match with the one on the box. I use Root call blocker pro (some older version), SMS blocking is off but will try delete it and test if there isnt some bug, after that I will let know. Although it is essential app for me because of my work Dont know about another one like that which is function and reliable

So.. deleted Root call blocker pro, wiped cache, dalvik, fixed permission and.. OK It was some incompatibility of older version with JB.
Do you know some other call blocking app, which is reliable and blocks calls before phone start to ring? So caller wont hear ringing tone but "not aviable" or "busy" tone?

good you found the culprit, not too sure about other apps, but google is your best friend and helper, try it and you might get something that suits you
