Ok so I had to do a factory reset on my nexus for an unrelated reason. I am on the web2go data plan and I had my apn settings for data and another for mms. Everything was working fine until I did the reset. I entered the same settings and now I cant send or receive any mms's. Here are my settings for my mms:
Name: T-Mobile US-MMS
APN: epc.tmobile.com
APN type: mms
Everything else is set to default. This kinda sucks because some long text messages that I send or receive are converted to mms. So any help on how to get my mms back. I would feel cheated having a superphone with no mms *cough iphone <3.0 cough*
I had a stock Nexus One ROM and then flashed the Desire one... since I've flashed my MMS has not been working either... and I definitely have the correct APN settings, I've tripple checked it!
Problem solved. I forgot to put default as apn type for data access.
Above do you have the same settings above as mine? Also did you try reboot? Was mms fine before you flashed rom?
My settings are different as I'm using Vodafone NZ but I've looked up the information and I'm 100% sure I've got it correct... Are you saying your MMS didn't work until you changed the APN type for your data APN to default??
And yeah I was able to PXT and 3G when I first got my Nexus One, after I flashed the Desire ROM I lost 3G and PXT... When I set the correct APN I managed to get 3G working but still no MMS
I am having the same issues on tmobile us. I can not get the pictures to download. Before I had some settings wrong, after fixing them I do not get the error anymore, but I do not get to download the message. Anyone have any ideas or solutions yet??? I am using Modaco Aplha 19

What about sending MMS? If I try to send an MMS it just sits there loading forever and never sends (This is using handcent) and when I try to download an image it just says downloading forever... :/
I'm relieved to hear someone else has a similar issue on Alpha 19.. Means its more likely to be a software issue and not something to do with my provider !
guys - you'll probably get more help if you search/post your issue in the MoDaCo Alpha 19 thread vs. starting a new one. this - unfortunately - is a common issue with this version of the ROM. it seems to be an inconsistent issue as well; sometimes i can send/receive without a problem other times i can't.

Given the problems experienced by Vodafone users with HTC mobiles, I have posted my solution to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901491
Okay, so I have my Hero rom aospCMod-HEROC-20110516 (Says in About Phone) and well, I'm not on the Sprint Network. I'm on Metro's network, with my current plan I get mobile data (1x, slow but works), texting, calls, ect. Only thing is I don't have MMS, I can't send or receive. Just wondering if it's my rom that isn't allowing me to sent MMS or if it's something else I need to look into.
sprint is having mms and sms issues this week its not the rom
As I said in my initial post, I'm not using Sprint's network. I have my Hero's service switched to Metro PCS, a different provider.
I just updated to the latest aosp rom from the Rom Manager (apsoCMod-HEROC-20110523)
I'll update if I have the MMS working with this rom or not.
I'm not on the Sprint network with my Hero either and I could not get MMS working without being on a Sense ROM in order to get into ##DATA# and change the ADVANCED MMSC server settings to that of my providers. However I love the ROM I'm on. It's this one:

You may not be receiving MMS because the apn list only has Sprint ones and no Metro PCS
Sent from my Hero that never dies! ;D

hello captivate community, i have a question regarding sending picture via cm11. i picked up an i897 on ebay which was delivered a week ago and source built ktu84q using strictly cyanogenmod repos. after the joy of realizing the recovery is baked into the kernel...... i was able to pursue my kitkat journey, no problem. im experiencing difficulty with sending a picture message however. airvoice is my carrier and data is working. wcdma preffered mode w/ 3g. h is data icon if its of any significance, and i manually entered the correct apn configuration and followed the instructions via the airvoice website. i also tried hangouts, which resulted with a message not sent. touch to retry. funny thing is, if my wifi is active, a picture message sends no problem. any suggestions?

Did you have that issue when you got the phone?
I'm thinking it might be an issue with the ROM you're currently using. It's a shot in the dark though as it could be something in your network settings.
Best thing to do (after trying different network options/settings) would be to backup your stuff, flash stock, test it. If it works, write down your settings and test them on the ROM you wanna use. If it doesn't work on stock, it's either a problem with your carrier or some user error (network settings).
its a known bug (for me anyways) some cm roms (multiple devices) cannot edit *#*#4636*#*# phone info changing network. when i enter the phone info menu, signal immediately drops and when i attempt to change the network, it defaults to unknown. if i enter and exit airplane mode, the signal returns (wcdma preffered). i need to enter a build.prop edit to set the network, which i have yet had time to do. i will retest on stock rom when i am able.

Add default,MMS to APN type of MMS APN. Reboot
This may fix jfltespr on the Sprint network always worked fine with LTE on most ROMs, but not with very many ROMs lately.
It seems that the APN had one slight difference between ROMs that worked with LTE for me (older CM, stock TW, GPE), and ROMs that had no LTE or eventually dropped LTE (CM12.1 based). The bearer was not set to LTE in the APN profile for the ROMs that do not work for me. Changing that quickly fixed the problem (figuring it out took me much longer). I looked around a bunch when I had this issue, and found people with the same issue, but no solutions. So, that's why I post this here now. Here's the How To if needed:
Go to Settings, Mobile Networks, Access Point Names, and Sprint LTE internet.
Scroll down to Bearer and see what it is set to. Mine was Unspecified, and that's what was causing the issue. Set Bearer to LTE
Go back to APNs, and also set Bearer to LTE on Sprint EHRPD internet. I know that's not the normally selected APN, but if you only change Sprint LTE Internet, it seems to automatically change to this EHRPD one, and it still doesn't work.
That's it for now. Enjoy your LTE again on 5.1.1. It seems to be much smoother.
I'm on an LG G3 but this APN/LTE issue seems to be affecting a lot of people on Android 5.1.x. I've been searching for solutions for days. Unfortunately, I have to report that your method did not work for me. With the Bearers changed to LTE I'm not getting any connection at all, but with them Unspecified I'll get a connection for a small time (<1min) after switching preferred network from 3G back to LTE before it drops again and gives me the exclamation point. If I leave it on 3G I have no problems retaining a 3G data connection. Nexus owners appear to be having this issue en masse with their 5.1.0 & 5.1.1 updates from google so it doesn't appear to be a CM issue, though CM had some APN related commits on July 1 that also seemed to cause problems for people and were undone by devs of some CM-based roms.
Yea that's a bummer. Thanks for sharing though. Maybe having it happen to so many people means that it will get fixed sooner than later, but I can only hope. I can only speak for the Sprint version of the S4 running on the Sprint network. It seems that people with this exact phone are okay on other networks.
This fix wasn't 100% for me either. Every once in-a-while, I think mostly in particular locations, it'll get stuck on the exclamation mark, and I'll just have to throw it into airplane mode for a moment.
If you haven't tried yet, make sure to put the bearers to LTE for all APNs that have the same DNS name as the normal one that you use, and the others at their defaults. It's probably not the case, but your results sound similar to mine when I only set one of the APN bearers to LTE. I thought that might be worth a mention, but I'm sure there are deeper problems. Sounds like you probably already did that anyway...
I've been having problems with this too and I tried your method but it didn't help me. It's really frustrating when there's so many great roms that are useless but thanks for trying though. Hopefully it gets resolved soon.
AOSP automatically selects the correct APN as long as the bearer is unspecified. You can hard code the bearer, but then that APN is only valid for that bearer. In other words, setting the eHRPD bearer to LTE will make that APN only valid for situations where the radio is connected to LTE. However, the connection will fail because the APN settings are wrong and the system will automatically move to the next APN with the bearer set to LTE. This time the connection will succeed because the next APN is the LTE APN. If you set the eHRPD bearer to LTE then you will never get a 3g connection.
What exactly are the symptoms you guys are seeing with LTE? My wife and I are both running CM with no connection problems whatsoever.

For me, I just randomly lose data connection, both 3G and LTE. It will then reconnect a few minutes later. I tried removing the other APN like the freedompop & ting leaving only sprint APNs thinking that might help but it I still lose data.

Do you get an explanation point?
Take a modem log right after you lose data and send it to me in a PM.

MMS ???
Hi. I am running CM12.1 and have tried other Lollipop roms. I am using Ting as my provider. I have two issues.
1. I don't get voicemail notifications. I can live with that.
2. Picture messages don't show. Texts come and go with no problem, just not picture (mms) texts.
Would these fixes help my issue? I have had no issues with 3g, which is most of my coverage area. I am usually on wifi anyway.
Thank you!

Cm12.1 ignores the voicemail notification from the carrier. The MMS issue is an incorrect/missing APN. If you can figure out what it should be we can get a patch submitted.

Here is a jfltespr build that fixes Ting data/MMS. I strongly recommend a clean install. If that's not possible, be sure to reset APNs to defaults after you flash and then reboot. It will take a minute or two to get data after the reboot. Please let me know how it goes. If this does fix it, I will submit the patch. If not, I still have some ideas.
Be sure to make a nandroid backup as I couldn't get my wife's S4 to test it with and this was the first time I have built for the S4 on this machine.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347780285
This build is up to date with CM sources as of last night.
I am downloading now and will try it tonight. I appreciate the quick work. I am on Octo now, but really prefer CM. I will clean install. Thank you!

I loaded it on and everything works except for mms. My 3g is good, wifi, texts, internet, calls ... just no pictures in texts. Something I noticed was different from the other CM12 versions is that now I can see that the text was sent, I just can't download it. I tried these settings from this page - I used the EHRPD settings. They were able to make mms work using the Octo rom.

What fixed your problem? Setting the 3g bearer to LTE? That means the freedompop LTE APN is wrong and should be patched in the code. If we could get more input on this we could fix it for good.
I don't even have anything listed in my APN (I used to). How do I fix that?

Tap airplane mode, then tap again to turn airplane mode off. Then go into your APN menu. Your APN's should appear.
I'm running the latest CM 12.1 nightly. The stock APN's work for me, but I rarely get a LTE connection with them.
I've flashed the APN fix that's floating around, and it worked in older builds of CM 12, but recently the fix just disconnects and leaves me with no signal.
If I do what OP suggests, I'll get an LTE connection, but that leaves me with no 3G where LTE isn't strong.
I guess the problem with CM is that it cannot successfully switch between LTE and 3G correctly.
If you're not all that concerned about getting an LTE connection, I'd recommend just sticking with the stock APN's. Once you start flashing fixes, you're gonna have a problem.
Just picked up a H811 to replace my H851 and am having MMS issues. Could not send or receive MMS and thought it was an APN issue as I'm on ATT. Finally figured out it's only happen if wifi is connected. If it's off MMS is fine. Of course I've tried pretty mush all the different APNs and most of the stock and modified stock ROMs on XDA and all are the same. Anyone have a clue?

Yes that seems to be the issue, when wifi is connected it's blocking the cellular data connection so MMS can't send or receive. Not extremely happy with the performance as the only game I play is Flappy Bird and it seems laggy, even on the debloated ROMS and different Kernals. Had a Nexus 5X with the same CPU and no issue. Probably just return this phone but will miss the LG UI
