Can't send MMS texts - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I can't send any pictures over text message. I am on a custom rom, Android Revolution HD 8.0.
I have the correct apn settings. LTE works fine. Calling is fine. Everything is fine except picture texts.
I've tried searching for a fix but everything comes up as a apn error but the apn i have compared to the one on the rogers site is correct.

You're using the stock messaging app? Try sending the smallest MMS size possible (Settings - MMS Settings - Maximum message size and set it to the smallest size) just to see if that helps. Otherwise you might have to try a different ROM to rule out whether it's a ROM issue or not, since you said the APN config is good.

Unlocked Tilt, No MMS

Please note, that I have confirmed that MMS settings are correct, I have done manual entries and Lurche's cab...
However with my new unlocked Tilt, I cannot get my MMS to work. I just get an "Error Synchronizing"
If I put back my SIM card into my old TyTn, I can do a Send/Receive no problem.
Does anyone have any thoughts as to what I can do/test?
Thank you!
...and all of a sudden, I just received an MMS!
I still get an Error Syncing, but it seems to work!
Please disregard!
MMS Help
Mine still doesn't work and I have the same problem as the guy above me. All settings are correct. But whenever I click on send/receive, I get an error synchronizing message. I am able to send but not receive. Help!
Are you using a threaded add on? Have you made any changes (ROM or apps) that would make this happen?
I've just flashed my tilt with Dutty's Dual v4. It also didn't work when I had v3, didn't test it with the stock ATT ROM though. My 8525 used to be able to send and receive without problems.
Since I am not familure with Duty's roms, I dont know what is on them. However, my Tilt, which has the Palm Threaded cab added, gives me the same error. But, even with the errors, my MMS works fine.
Are you able to send and/or receive any MMS?
In the settings for the MMS server, ensure that you are using ATT (or whatever) for the default setting.
I'm not sure about the palm threaded cab... what does it do? I am able to send (I think) but definitely not receive.
Is your user agent set correctly? & if you're AT&T you need the proxy cab.
I'm on tmobile with an unlocked tilt.
I've posted my problems several times before.
I'm on US ATT with a Tilt using Duttys v2. The message says it was successfully sent but the recipient never actually gets the message. Strange part is that I can send to an email address just fine and can send to myself just fine. All of my settings are correct.
I'm on US T-Mobile and I've never had a problem sending or receiving MMS. My only problem was receiving small pics but thats fixed with the wspheader cab. BTW I mustve used 5 diff roms by name and currently using duttys v4. what radio are you using?
To the original poster, I never had to manually enter anything or use any cab to receive any mms. once the configuration is done and soft reset everything should work fine.
To the second person that had the problem i see your using the radio that i had with duttys v3. once i went to v4 i couldnt connect to the internet at all so that might be the problem. try using 1.27.12.11
MMS intermittent several days of effort very frustrating
I have searched hi and low and spent hrs reading posts on all the problems with mms not working on t mobile. My problem seems to be an isolated problem?
I did not get the mms at first so I put in the settings posted. I tried both wap.voicestream and the internet2.voicestream.com... and still the same problem. I then tried the 29.99package cab that was made. and a day later still the same problem.
I have a Tilt with htc dutty rom
the numbers at start up are
r 1.64.06.04
g 25.70.40.02w
d 1.60.00.00
After running the 29.99 cab it seems to be more stable with email accounts and increased the send to 300k but the mms is intermittent.
When I get the message it shows the text box at the bottom of the today screen. If I do not click on it right away when it goes away it never shows up on the message alert icon in the middle of the today screen it also does not show up in the mms area conversation or not(gone forever). Then sometimes maybe 4 hrs later one might all of a sudden load??? and appear even after it attempted to download the first time earlier in the day???
Then sometimes it will download and notify, if I click on it right away I can view the text and pic, once I press close it never shows up in the mms area? Like its gone to the TILT angels to never be seen again??? Then sometimes it downloads and starts a conversation and works normal??? (Very rarely though)
I have tried several settings my internet works with auto or all settings I have tried. Its just the mms receiving. Its hit or miss? Any suggestions I would greatly appreciate. If you need any numbers or other info let me know and much thanks.

for ATT you're most likely missing some registry settings. does dutty's rom have arcsoft cooked in? i have a cab that 100% works with ATT. click the link in my sig and install Arcsoft 5_0_31_16 in my first post or Arcsoft 5_0_31_19 from my second post.

These cabs do work for picture MMS but not for video MMS unless you have changed something recently. There are very few ROMS with working video MMS on AT&T. Dutty's latest and the Death beta both work for sure. I've flashed to many times lately to remember what others. I should start making a list.
I don't know if your up for changes...but try my new rom under my signature.... MMS is working perfect for AT&T.
If anything, download it, extract it, and look at my MMS settings if you would like. I was having problems sending to Verizon customers until now. Either the network is fixed or my MMS is great! I'm going with the network being fixed.

If sending to verizon make sure your message size is under 300k. They can't receive larger. Have you tested video mms on your ROM? Create a message. When you go to add a video, tap and hold the video and select play. If it plays within arcsoft then yours should be working. I haven't gotten the chance to test your ROM yet but I will.
what about using it on T-Mobile?
The problems i stated previously in my earlier post are for T-mobile? Is there other options or suggestions other than the ones I posted? Thanks.
maybe this is related...
I am on at&t, but I think it might apply to t-mobile, who knows.
I used the htc autoconfig for a wm6.1 rom and had several anomalies with my connection settings. I tried a lot to fix them and am still pretty sure I had the settings right. The only thing that fixed it was taking the advice of a poster which I tried to avoid.
The advice was to not use the automatic connection settings but to use a cab to install them instead.
So I hard reset and never looked back.
Point is that you most likely have a setting issue, but I couldn't fix it after autoconfig. I tried deleting the settings and installing the cabs, but still had random issues.
Dutty's hybrid apr 29 worked fine for me.
ryncppr, nice rom
Tmobile and mms issue research dutty dual touch
UPDATE:::
I did a hard reboot and started from scratch ignored the auto network setup. I then tried to install the joe2995 tmobile cab. It would not do anything without already having the settings setup, then it adjusts them. So I then tried to manually set them up and I used tmobile wesite they actually show the tytn 2 phone and settings. And that was where the questions began. I soon learned the settings for MMS was not in the phone where it said, materafact I could not find them at all. I have duttys dual touch and wondered if that was the issue. So I started some intense investigation and found that the settings are only achievable if you setup an email account. The mms server settings only show in the menu of the email account? Is this just a software setup issue? or does it effect the mms because its located in the email area. I dont have the code and do not know what order it was written in so Its only a question. I did more research on the site and found that everyone with duttys dual touch and tmobile posts said they were having this sort of problem. And yet others with duttys other versions were ok. Anyone's insight would be appreciated? I also put the correct settings in the mms server area and still having intermittent mms issues, as posted in previous post. Anyone with duttys dual touch version and tmobile ok with mms and photo send and receive??
No MMS ATT
I have the new gullum throttle diamond rom and was able to send/ receive mms before the flash i installed arcsoft v 4.0.31.28.2 and it restored the multimedia option under messages but i can neither send nor receive even though messeges say sent

MMS - message format corrupt

i get this when trying tosend out mms of pics i took.. the pics are downsized.. so i dont understand whats wrong..
anyone plsss?
anyone can help?
I'm also now experiencing this problem. Seems to happen when you take a picture and use the on screen option to create an MMS message and send the picture immediately.
The message sends and a response comes back after a few seconds saying that the message format is corrupt... anyone got any ideas what may be causing this? I'm still stock ROM since Nov 4. 08.
Cheers,
DrSpain
since 09 no one has come up with an answer for this?

For the lost souls that find this thread I leave here the solution that fixed my problem (on HTC Desire). I also had the corrupt message being displayed each time sending an MMS. Nothing was resolving my issue. I tried a lot of stuff from deleting and adding APN settings manually to installing APN apps to create the settings for me.
What worked for me:
I created a second entry on the APN settings with the same data as the normal APN for MMS. So instead of having an APN for MMS I now have 2 (with different names). And it started to send and receive MMS. Not sure why this works, but it does.
Also, I've also read somewhere that selecting a different network to lose the connection with the current one and going back again that would fix this issue. It didn't work for me though.
HTC Aria / Android MMS Fix
I recently experienced what I believe is your issue. "message format corrupt" I could send/receive SMS, could receive MMS, but could not send MMS. What I discovered is that there is an error (for lack of a better term) when you import your contacts into Android or Google Contacts where the device, (for MMS messages, but seems to work fine for phone calls) does not recognize telephone numbers with parentheses. In the contacts you have as (505) 555-1212 you'll need to edit to 505-555-1212. This will fix the issue. As a quick test, instead of selecting the contact you wish to MMS and manually enter the number; it should go through just fine.

MMS fix for boost mobile

Okay I may have a mms fix for boost, but it is in .cab format and I'm not sure how or if I can use it. any ideas will help.
APN Settings for MMS on Boost
I'm currently running Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo 2.2 [Deodexed] [RLS12] on my Vogue, on Boost Mobile's network, and I am able to send MMS by attaching picture files in text messaging. The only settings I changed were in the default APN:
MMSC: mm.myboostmobile.com (add http: and // in front. Since this is my first post I'm not allowed to post URLs )
MMS port: 80
No other changes to the APN settings are necessary to send MMS.
I'm pretty sure that it's impossible to receive an actual MMS on Boost's network. You will get the text message with a link to the Media Mail page (which never works, at least for me).

Can you share your cab? I'd like to try and could prolly use it, since I'm running a Touch Pro2 WinMo 6.5 and XDAndroid. Thanks
Can someone please help me? I used the mm.myboostmobile.com and get a 'error-permanent-system failure' when getting receiving pic mail but could send. Also, my hubby who uses a Boost BB gets a blank message. So I used pcs-boost-mmsc-submit.sun3.lightsurf.net. and I was able to not send media mail but receive it without any problems. I have an energy ROM and using the Arcsoft MMS version you have above. This is so ridiculous. Do I have to use mms program specially for my Sense Energy CRX ROM or what? I do not understand what's wrong with this? Is it because I have an Energy ROM?

Just keep waiting and testing it out, it's not device specific it appears to be network and location specific, read more here: "http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php/1721560-New-Boost-Mobile-MMS-Settings"
I haven't had a chance to dig my vogue out and try this, but I was thinking you guys might want to grap the mms.apk file from the shabbymod Rom for the Prevails and see if allows MMS texts to pass on through as normal.

[Q] OG Droid MMS PagePlus Help

Hello All,
I'm trying to get a stock Verizon OG Droid to work on Pageplus.
I activated it recently and the 3G data and text messaging seems to work just fine but picture messages/mms aren't received nor sent ...
I assume this has something to do with a apn settings or some options, any help would be appreciated
Thanks,
Pete
You have to create a second APN for MMS in addition to the mobile data APN.
You should be able to find the necessary information in the help pages of your provider - or use google.
Interesting thing is i have tried sending that phone smaller pictures and it seems to receive them, can this be a MMS size limit issue ?
How does one resolve this ?
I am not sure if the APN would cure this problem anymore or has anything to do with it...

I'm pretty sure there's a size limit on MMS too.
Usually the picture is resized when attaching it.
Perhaps i should check the APN settings because it seems very flaky still...
I could not find out where the settings are on this phone, can someone point them out to me ?
Thanks,
Pete
Settings > Wireless > Mobile network > APNs > press menu key > select "Add APN"
Something like this - I don't have any stock 2.x devices to check...

Major MMS issue. Please assist.

Hi everyone. I've had the HTC One through T-Mobile since the first few weeks of its release. One of the best features about it is Group MMS. That way I can be in a group chat with most of my friends who have iPhones. It was working flawlessly on both a stock T-Mobile ROM, and Android Revolution 8.0. About two weeks ago my friends kept telling me some of my messages were coming in as blank. I was able to see my own messages and I was able to see all of their messages in group form.
I would reboot my phone, and occasionally I would send a message that would be readable. I wasn't sure what was going on. I had T-Mobile reset my SIM card info from their end, I removed my SIM card, etc. That didn't fix it.
I also wiped my device completely last night. Installed a 4.3 ROM (InsertCoin) thinking it was going to remedy the situation. But no...I am still sending blank messages.
What could be the issue here? Why would this stop working out of the blue, and wiping doesn't fix the situation!
Normal SMS is fine!
Please help!

I will try, but why would it just stop working out of nowhere? I also stated I reset it to factory settings as well, and even tried a new ROM. I didn't alter APN settings.
Edit: Just checked, APN settings are correct.

IDK, The only thing I know, is that I had this issue with my One X last year just after going from stock rom to cyanogenmod. no mms and sms working fine. I deleted my APN and created a new with correct info (mine from Rogers) and everything were working again.
Maybe flashing rom erase apn settings? idk. Just try, its very simple to check before going deeper.

Nope, I checked. The APN settings are there, locked, not able to be changed, and are correct.
Like I said, Group MMS works. I can see everyone's messages in the group. It's when I send one that it works on and off. This only started happening a few weeks ago. It was perfect for months.
It seems like I'm not the only one...
Anyone know what to do about this???????

the second to last post in that thread has a suggestion. Install the new Hangouts app with SMS integration and you'll be all set. Then you'll be used to it when we get our 4.4 update (or when Hangouts updates from it's 4.3 version, whichever is first)

I don't want to use third party apps (even though it's Google).
I should be able to use the stock messaging app like I've been using for months.
