I've figured out how to send MMS messages with Android on the Verizon network. Here's how:
Go to Settings -> Wireless Controls -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names -> Android
Modify the following settings:
MMSC: http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms?X-VZW-MDN=<your ten-digit phone number>
MMS proxy: leave empty
MMS port: 80
Please let me know if this works for you. Keep in mind that you must have a data connection open in order to send MMS.
As far as receiving messages, when a picture message comes in it properly receives the SMS, but it isn't recognized as an MMS message. It does however recognize that it's not a standard SMS so it doesn't go to your message inbox.
SENDING WORKS (for Verizon)

Telus
I've found some similar settings for Telus, but can't seem to make it work. If anyone wants to give it a shot, I've used the information here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=392284
So far, the message just sits there trying to send. The settings I'm currently using are:
MMSC: http://mmsfeplb01.int.eng.telusmobility.com/mms
MMS proxy: http://216.198.139.113
MMS port: 8088
pchaso, how long does it take you to send an MMS? I'm just curious how long I should wait before I deem a message failed, because it never seems to error out, just sits there.
Will try this soon pchaso

It takes seconds.
K, so I'm guessing I need something similar to the "?X-VZW-MDN=<your ten-digit phone number>" portion of the verizon settings. Where'd you find this info? It sucks to be so close and yet so far...

When you configure Arcsoft MMS for Verizon, you have to add a registry entry so that Arcsoft knows to send this field. This entry will cause arcsoft to post this value as part of the HTTP request to the mms servlet. I just took a stab in the dark by putting the value in the querystring. I actually didn't expect it to work...

Nice work! I'll have to try and get Telus MMS working in WinMo this weekend some time... I really don't feel like booting up WM right now though. I will be sure to post any success I have here.

Try it with X-MDN instead of X-VZW-MDN.

Cool just sent a pic to my email and it worked
Kinda just thinking outloud but do you think that we would need a Verizon APN with Verizon specific settings to begin to recieve mms? or does it have to do with dzo's hacked sms settings?...
I think it has something to do with the CDMA SMS format being different to that of GSM. I wish I had time to do some hacking on this myself...
Now that the droid is out, is there any update on receive settings?
Anything new on android verizon mms? Tried the instructions in the first post but it didn't work for me.
Bump... add me to the list of people who want to receive!
Thanks all who help dev this stuff, Android has consumed countless hrs of my time : )
bumpity bump bump
I would really like some development in this area. It seems some settings/apn's could be pulled from the vzw droid. Bluetooth is now working, along with accurate gps. This is the only thing left to be fixed for donut to be completely functional for our vogues.
Nothing new? Sending still works...let's receive! LOL
Need help from you guys then (I don't have Verizon).
1. Make sure MMS sending really does work (send it to someone and ask them if they got it).
2. Get ADB (the command prompt tool) working on Windows (search the forum, there's clear instructions -- its easy)
3. Plug your phone into your computer so you can connect with ADB.
4. Open a command prompt and navigate to where ADB is.
5. Type 'adb shell logcat -b radio > radiolog.txt' (no ')
6. Send a SMS to yourself. Then send an MMS to yourself.
7. Wait a little bit to make sure the MMS notification message is "received". 2-3 minutes should be good.
8. Terminate the adb logging and send me the log at jnadke [email protected]_ gmail dot com (spam proofed)
A MMS is just an SMS (text message) with instructions to go download data. When you send MMS, the Mms.apk application uses POST command. Receive just uses the GET command. However, this isn't being triggered because I don't think we're correctly interpreting the SMS message that tells us there's an MMS waiting.
I'm making an assumption that we're receiving the MMS notification, and that its reception generates an AT command. It may not, I haven't looked at the SMS RIL code. It's possible I might need to give you a RIL that logs the raw SMS data, so I can compare a SMS message and a SMS-MMS notification message (to see if there's a flag somewhere).
The code is already there in Mms.apk to receive, we're just not telling it to...
Title says it all
+1 to that.
I know how to send mms but not recieve.
For Verizon do this to be able to send mms
Go to Settings -> Wireless Controls -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names -> Android
Modify the following settings:
MMSC: http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms?X-VZW-MDN=<your ten-digit phone number>
MMS proxy: leave empty
MMS port: 80
I was thinking i should modify the username to [email protected] and password to vzw like windows mobile but i am afraid to try it because i dont know what the current password is to change it back if it dont work for recieving

Sending works, Receiving does not yet. The link in the prior post has instructions on settings to get sending pic messages working.
Well I have a sprint touch and I can receive. Not sure why everyone says they can't, but I followed the thread and the only sprint version I saw was for the thouch pro 3 so I tried that and it sends but it doesn't make it to the person I'm sending to, tried sending to my email and phone.
Touch pro 2#&$%% my bad lol

You can receive? But can't send? Sounds strange. Make sure your entering your phone number in the MMSC field as 1234567890 not <1234567890> thats what I was doing wrong initially. Can you post a link to the tp2 thread you are reffering to...I've seen a few but none mentoined any setting besides the ones already listed in this thread.
It was just on the 3rd Or 4th page I think. : http:// Developement" section: http:// forum.xda-developers.com/ showthread.php?t=627388. Yeah I was always able to receive mms, ever since I started using android back in January. But I put in those settings for touch pro 2 found on that site cause it was sprint qnd I was finally able to send it but it wouldn't make it to the person I was sending to.

When you "receive", is it the actual image or a web link to it? Everyone gets the web link - that just means Sprint thinks your phone isn't MMS-capable on the server side so they text you a link instead. You're not "receiving MMS" unless you get the image straight to your phone.

You can just edit the T-mobile apn. Keep in mind once you edit it and save it the apn deletes itself. Then all your left with is the telkila apn. Everything will continue to work as it did before. I have sending os pic messages working on VZW using the settings listed below . Receiving does not work.

The password in winmo was vzw. I've tried it but it didn't work for me but you can try.
I have no APN's currently listed but all my data and pic message sending works.

It's not strange, sprint doesn't send MMS to the phone through the old fashion way, they send a link to your phone and you follow that to a webpage containing your image
I'm running Temasek's KANG RC3-110 with ETaNa kernel (hoc) but I've had this issue for some time. When I try to send a MMS and hit the send button the message dissappears and nothing happens. Then if I go back to main SMS screen and enter the thread in which the mms should be it is just like before hitting "send" - the attached image is displayed along with all the options and the inserted text.
The question is where does the source of this issue lay and how to fix this.

Okay, I definitely have the same problem as xswistaqx has.
I create an MMS, press the send button, it disappears, nothing happens and when I get back to the messages again, my unsent MMS appears as a draft - it's very annoying!
My device: P990, CyanogenMod-7.2.0-RC3-p990
Any suggestions?

so am i with gueste hybrid 3.3 & temasek kernel. changed bb (from 218 to 725) and reflash rom. now mms are sent. for now. http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/confused.gif
Is your data enabled? Are your APN's configured the right way?
Go to Settings --> Wireless & networks --> Mobile Networks settings and tick "Data Enabled".
Then go to "Access Point Names" and you should have a list of APNs. One of them must have something like MMS in its name.
I can't tell you anything else, because I don't know what country you are in, neither do I know your mobile network provider...
If it was for the APN settings it simply wouldn't be sent instead of "disappearing" and then appearing as a draft.
Factory wipe/reset and rom reflash fixed the issue for me.
hi everyone, i've got the following problem - whenever i try to send a mms message it attaches the picture, but when i click send it just shows sending forever i also can't recieve any mms messages.

from what i remember of mms i think you do
some service providers use a different one for mms to your normal browsing
others use one for everything so it doesn't affect your settings

Hello,
I am not able to get a MMS from anyone when a picture attached is over 300kb. In my options, I can send MMS that are 600kb, 1000kb, and 3500kb. It's currently set to 1000kb. I've attached a screenshot of what happens when someone tries... it just doesn't show a picture there. I can sometimes click the text and hit save picture and view it in my gallery, but that doesn't work all the time.
The red boxes in the screenshot should be showing pictures. Is there a way to fix this?
Go to the messaging app, settings>MMS and make sure auto-retrieve is checked, priority is normal, and the message size is set to 5M. See if that helps.
Auto retrieve was checked. Priority is normal. Message sizes are 600/1000/3500kb. 1000kb was chosen, switched to 3500kb to no avail.

This really depends on the carrier. The limits are set by them not the app. ATT I know has a 600kb limit and I think tmobile is 1mb.

Verify your apn settings, theres probably an error in its settings that are stopping you from receiving mms messages. Check with your carrier and see what the settings should be.
Settings>Mobile Data>Access point names

I would check with ATT as that is all done server side. If it was a device issue then you would not be able to get any at all.

I've checked the ATT default, mine matched. I also tried a few others found on this site, with no luck. most of them wouldn't allow any mms to come through or send.
to clarify, I get mms if they're under 300kb.
