I have recently rooted and flashed steel droid on my d3 and have come across a problem with sending texts. Sometimes people won't receive texts from my phone and some people won't get them at all. I am on the ICS AOKP version of Steel Droid and it is running smoothly.
Any ideas has this happened to anyone else? Please help.
Pfft - who sends texts nowadays anyway
Are you stuck in EVDO only?

Well, the droid 3 doesnt get LTE...
Try EVDO only then auto. The phone is trying to use LTE/1x because that is what a 4g phone does by default I believe since there is no need for EVDO.

I've tried EVDO/CDMA and that just shuts off the antenna. So far the setting is the only one that works. I've also tried the 2G only setting to save me battery and that did do much either.
I've been having this problem since day one with my One. I can't send or receive mms through the stock messaging app. Whenever I try, I get an error that says "Generic Network Failure"
I spoke with sprint tech support and we tried: prl update, profile update, hands free activation, manual hands free activation, then I just did a full factory reset. None of these things worked. Took it to the Sprint store and they just installed Handcent and told me to use that app instead of the stock app. (Meaning Handcent works but the stock app doesn't) Has anyone had this problem and has a solution? All recommendations are welcome.
Lol.....a Sprint rep did that?? I would demand an exchange.
In all fairness, it could be the reception in your area. Are other phones doing this with Sprint?

After talking with Tech support and a bunch of other people, they're replacing it as soon as they get some more phones in stock which should be like tomorrow.

That's the apn regardless. I work for AT&T and at&t owns aio. Our internal sites say that aio apns are the same as at&t.

I have a T-Mobile Moto X running Kit Kat on AIO. My 4G LTE is working fine. I did not have to change the APN or do anything.

Ok so two things.
1. At least once or twice a day my data quits after receiving a call on my moto x, and I have to turn airplane mode on and back off to fix it. Had that issue with 4.2 and 4.4. I never use WiFi as I have unlimited data but it seems similar to your situation
2. My wife has a HTC One GE on AIO and has mentioned a few times that her data takes about 5 minutes to activate after going out of range of WiFi. I just assumed it was her phone but maybe it is an issue with aio.
I spoke with Motorola a few weeks ago about my moto x and they told me to do a master reset, but I never did.

I never get it again after Wi-Fi without reboot. I live 20 min from work and go from there to home with no data most the time. I like aio but not having data is going to kill me. I don't get why it works perfectly fine on the 4.2.2 but not 4.4 even when I ran the leak before official it still didn't work
My AT&T Moto X is sending MMS pictures that are to large to open. My Galaxy S4 always shows that its automatically decompressing when to large. Why does the Moto X not do this and what is the solution. Thanks in advance.

Anyone know the answer?? If this thing can't properly send a picture message I may get rid of it.

Compresses fine for me. Are you using a 3rd party messenger? Stock messaging and hangouts both will resize automatically. If they're not, you've likely altered something or aren't using the native messaging apps.

No, everything is factory set. No third party apps or anything like that. Most pics are sending fine, but some will say "to large" and show a hazard type sign... No idea. Thanks for the input

Same thing is happening on mine. I've tried sending pics to an S3 and the recipient gets " The media content was not included due to a picture resolution or message size restriction". I checked the details and the message size is in the 300-400kb range while picture messages I sent with an HTC doubleshot where usually under 100kb. Am I missing a setting? I am also using the stock messaging app, btw

I set hangouts to be the default messaging app and have successfully sent mms to other Android devices... So there's that.

My wife has the same problem with her XT1053 on T-Mobile. Sometimes instead of the picture, the recipient gets the media content size message.
We've tried sending the same image and different times and on or off wifi. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. We have not figured out a pattern.
We've also tried both the epc and fast apn and with or without MMS proxy set in the apn settings.
She's coming from an iPhone so anything that doesn't "just work" is a glaring deficiency.

whats the pattern you notice because mine has no pattern. I'm having the same issue, on tmobile using the t-mobile XT 1053. I attached a screenshot of the error message I'm getting.
Its been going on for week with me using AIO and using T-mobile, using 4.4 and 4.4.2. I even got my phone warrantied because of it. Still happening, obviously there is a software bug with the stock messaging app. also, my signal randomly disappears -___- I'm waiting on a call back from a level 3 technician.
Motorola, please take note of the moto x bug!
Try using hangouts. I can send anything. But I'm still on 4.4

I had the same problem with the stock app on my T-Mobile moto x. Switched to 8sms and it works fine.

ok, thanks for clarifying. I haven't been able to replicate it either. my girlfriend and i have been working on this issue for days lol. Next step is to get a refund. This says too much about Motorola and the state of android. grrrr!!! #fasterupdates
try 8sms.
maybe carrier restriction?
It's not a carrier restriction. Fact is, the MMS apk file does not include the code to compress down the image. I believe this is also happening with the AOSP Messenger as well. I'm not sure why, but I was having this exact same issue on some other ROMs on my RAZR HD. It's my guess that Google removed the auto-compression code from the AOSP messaging app in an effort to get people to use Hangouts.

I gave up on the stock messaging app and hangouts and use 8sms instead. Pictures are fine but I can only get mms through mobile data, not wifi. I'm on Tmobile so I think this is a limitation of the service... Unless anyone knows a way around this.

I use the stock MMS.apk and I have never had this issue. I've sent pics to iPhones, GS3/GS4, Nexus 5s, you name it. Never had anyone tell me they couldn't see my images. I'm still on Jellybean though, maybe it's a KitKat thing?

***IF YOU ARE HAVING THE ISSUE PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING***
So I'm curious as to what carrier you guys are using? Also is the problem sporadic or constant?
HYPOTHESIS: I have a good case that T-mobile's network is to blame, in my situation. I've been using t-mobile with 2 different moto x (I exchanged because the compression issue) I am currently using a t-mobile HTC One which I will be returning since I thought the issue was my moto x. The issue still occurs on T-mobile HTC One.
So I've had MMS messages always send but some arrive and some don't, using The HTC One as well as the moto x, using t-mobile. What's interesting is this:
All messages take long to send
Some say sent (verified by checking the time stamp and also clicking on the view details for the picture) but after asking the recipient they would tell me they never received it.
I tested with friends from other networks (Sprint and AT&T), they've sent me images and I have no problem receiving them
I've sent messages to friends using other carriers (non-tmobile) they had no issues receiving mine but they would take long to send
Doing the t-mobile customer service test ((SENDING A MMS TO MYSELF, SOMETIMES THEY DON'T ARRIVE BUT WHEN THEY DO THEY ALSO TAKES A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF TIME))
My GF and I both have tmobile branded phones on tmobiles network and all the above situations happen to us both. all the ISSUES I mentioned occur when we text one another too.
I've been testing MMS messages for 2-3 weeks texting a T-mobile iPhone 5 and my HTC One (T-mobile) and 2 Moto X (T-mobile) (XT 1053) all phones were running latest software. So this rules out pretty much every variable. We both have good coverage and have not dropped our phones at all.
THEORY: T-mobile has been aggressively bringing in new customers for months now with all the new plans and marketing and whatknot. So I believe that Tmobiles network is either having proxy issues with MMS or simply they are experiencing network congestion with all the new customers. This is similar to the network issues people were experiencing when AT&T got the iPhone for the first time. Things were pretty bad around those time for AT&T customers and a lot of people.
last, This is the hardest evidence I could get so far being that I can't indirectly test each and every carrier lol
I really do hope this helps!
Tmobile user here.

Can anyone help? I am using an AT&T unlocked HTC One with Straight Talk sim, and after Kit Kat upgrade I can't send or receive pics or connect to WiFi. Get no help from HTC, and have gone over my APN settings with Straight Talk. Don't know what my options are to fix problem. Appreciate any help I can get...

Thank you for responding. I was going to do that as a last resort. I was reading in forums that I need to root my phone. Something bout me having Straight Talk makes Kit Kat not work right. And that after root I need to put a couple apps from play store on my phone for changing APN. I have changed APN couple times, but they said the apps will allow me to access it differently. I am computer il-lit-rate, and don't have a clue. I figured I'd read all I can before going further. Thank you...
