[Q] Cannot recieve mms messages? - Motorola Droid 3

Hi;
I have a unlocked Verizon Droid3 on PCMobile account in Canada.
I can not recieve mms messages.
PCMobile tech says everything on their end is fine. Message is being sent to phone.
I can connect and browse the web, recieve regular text etc..
When someone sends me an mms message i get 2 options, download and reject. When I try to download it tells me "message failed, try again"
I have messages set to download mms automatically.
I had to manually set apn settings as per Bell.ca for a moto milestone. Tech confirmed.
Is there a setting somewhere I can not find, or something locked to verizon that has to be changed?
I have ver 2.3.4
I believe it is rooted
Help please.

ATT Tilt MMS Issues...

I've got a strange/annoying issue dealing with MMS messaging on my new Tilt.
Current goodies on the Tilt:
ROM: ShogunMark's Deathv4.1
3.55.502.1 WWE (6/15/08)
Radio: 1.65.20.29
SPL: HardSPL-3.56
As far as I can tell, I have all the current ATT network settings. I can send MMS messages, and anyone can receive them. I can send MMS to myself, and I can receive that. Another user on ATT can send me MMS. And I can send MMS to myself from my desktop email (using [email protected]). People on other networks (T-Mobile, Verizon, and Sprint that I've tested so far) cannot send me MMS. On their end, it shows everything being sent just fine, and they don't get any error messages. But I never receive the messages. Not even if they send the MMS to my phone's email addy from their device.
I talked to ATT support yesterday trying to verify the network settings, and the support rep couldn't even find what settings I was supposed to have. Though he did identify that a MMS enabled flag on my account was set to NO. He set that to yes, I reset the phone and reconnected to ATT.... and I still have the same issue. That network setting didn't seem to change anything.
I've read all the threads I can find about MMS issues, and none of them address this problem (at least that I can see).
At any rate, my current MMS server settings are as follows. Can anyone verify these for me?
Server name: AT&T MMS
Gateway: wireless.cingular.com
Port number: 80
Server address: http://mmsc.cingular.com
Connect via: MEdia Net
Send limit: 1200K
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
John
similar problem
I have an att tilt and gullums throttle diamond I multi language rom...i installed arcsoft latest version and now i have the menu and mms options under the menu tab in messaging and can send mms now but not receive....ive also tried installing the MMS medianet settings cabs posted another thread and still cannot receive ..ive also tried sending msgs to myself which does not work but if i reply to one of my own mms messages that i tried to send and select mms (you can select mms or sms options to reply) and then i can receive one of my own but this is the only message i am able to receive.
It ended up that the MMS flag on my account (that the support rep reset) was the culprit (I think). Two days after he made the change, I received a whole mess of media messages. Since then, I've had no problems at all, even going through several different ROMs.
Give ATT support a ring and see if they can figure anything out.

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.

Can't get MMS to work on Focus S

I have a Focus S that was from AT&T but was unlocked for other carriers. I was on Telus Mobility before and MMS worked without any setting changes. I just changed carriers, I am now on Koodo Mobile and I can't get MMS to work.
I am unable to fully unlock my phone because it is updated and I don't have a backup so I can't do any on the usual fixes to enable ADC. I do have it unlocked through the App Hub though (student account) so I can sideload some apps so maybe there is a solution there, I did load "samsung tools" but it doesn't work since the phone isn't fully unlocked.
I have tried the Samsung Wireless Manager app it got my 4G data working, but when I enter the MMS APN as soon as I save it, it changes from "MMS" profile to "other" and the MMSC that I entered disappears.
Please help!! I really miss having MMS to exchange photos with my family.
Thanks!
The latest Samsung update (LE2) blocked XML editing (to prevent WindowBreak and similar) which also blocked the ability for the Wireless Manager to change the network configurations which are stored in XML files.
Follow this guys directions (specifically the ones at the bottom) and you'll be able to get everything working except sending MMS, you'll be able to receive but not send. The MMS profile has to be named mms_line otherwise it will save as other. And for me at least, I was able to change all settings and save them except for the MMSC (server which handles the sending of MMS), so long as you configure everything correctly you'll be able to at least receive MMS, and as per someone else's suggestion you could sign up for text plus or something and advise the sender that you use a different number/service to send MMS.
Thanks Samsung -_-

No SMS - How to set Message Sender Setting

Hi,
I'm running Kangkat and recently ported to Lyca Mobile (MVNO for T-Mobile here in the USA).
I can make/receive calls and access internet but no SMS in or out and no error messages.
Lycamobile gave me a message sender# which needs to go into the phone, but I don't see where to put that setting.
I think it may be one of the settings where you have to dial something on the keypad to get into the secret settings but don't know how to do that. Any suggestions?
Thanks much!

Can't send MMS after 5.1 (APN settings error)

Anyone else having trouble sending MMS since updating? I know for a fact I sent picture messages to two different people on June 30th (before update) and they worked fine. Tonight was the first I tried since updating to 5.1 and it came back saying there was an APN setting error in NextSMS, and it also didn't send while using the stock messaging app... I tried sending it to my own Google Voice number, however, and it worked.
Is this a problem with 5.1, or maybe just the person I'm sending it to? I'll try sending to the person who I know it worked for tomorrow (too late tonight).
I get the APN error when sending. My text message app fails, and provides the error message. However, the MMS does go through to the other end. On the other hand, I have not been receiving MMS at all. Multiple people have notified me that they sent a picture I never received.
My APN settings do not match what appears to be correct (MMS port is blank when it should be 80, and MCC is 311 when it should be 310). Also, I can neither add to nor edit the existing APN settings. Anyone else?
