I recently purchased a Straight Talk plan ($45/mo) so I could use my Vivid as a phone. I have consistently been updating my ROM and testing out CM10.x, CM11, RR, PAC, AOKP... Anyway, while using the latest PAC rom, I noticed that I too had issues with sending and receiving MMS messages. Rignfool had previously posted a fix wherein one would download hangouts and use that, but I did not have success with this method (it might have been because I'm on ST as opposed to AT&T, or maybe I've always been flashing hangouts as a replacement default SMS app).
Anyway, I found that in my situation (clean install of PAC rom 8-6-2014 (android 4.4.4), flashing stock pa gapps, and flashing a backup of my user apps made through Titanium Backup), installing 8sms and then choosing it as my default SMS app in settings (just called "messaging" in my case). I made no changes to my APN at this point (my settings APN was Straight AT&T, tfdata), and sending pictures worked without a hitch!
I'm making this thread to discuss any ways to fix/workaround any MMS issues, with the hopes of uncluttering the development threads and actually getting solutions to those with problems.

Hangouts installed as a user app, or as a system app (I assume when you flash the full modular or stock pa gapps it gets installed as a system app)?

Is anyone experiencing issues with Handcent MMS not working. I'm running VirusROM with adrynaline 4.4.2 kernel. Any help/suggestions are appreciated
Sent from Ced's Thunderbolt XDA app - Infected with the VirusROM
If you look at the comments in the market(I know it's not the best place for reliable info), you will see a lot of people are having issues with the most recent build of 3.8.2. I had no problems with it up until about 2 weeks ago, then it slowed down like crazy. Lag between getting a text, and being notified of a text. Not getting MMS. Not actually sending texts out.
I switched to GoSMS to get rid of the issue. It worked for what it was. I went ahead and threw CM7 on my bolt last night/this morning and figured I'd give it a shot. It works fine on that, but on Das Bamf remix 1.5 it sucked.
Works for me. das BAMF 1.5 Remix (4.4.2 kernel) w/ new radio.

Works great so far bamf 1.5 with latest radio. However on my d1 in the past after extended use it would lag and stop sending messages and had horrible mms issues. But for now running two weeks strong....

Actually I did. I kinda figured that was the issue so then I downloaded the stock MMS/SMS app and still no luck. Im running out of ideas and it seems no one is responding with suggestions, only telling me their not having this issue and is not even using the same ROM I am. Would you happen to have any other ideas?
I'd imagine you'd get more info if you explained what issues you are having.

No, just reinstall virus, you'll be fine. Sometimes the stock apps don't like to be re-installed.

I got it up and running now, PA gapps are working fine, also installed some apps and no weird force closes yet. Only thing force closing is the contacts app, but only when I swipe all the way to the right. Everything else is working great for me now, gonna use it as daily driver I think. Calling works fine, 2G 3G and 4G are working after entering the right APN (KPN Netherlands).

I've done extensive searching on this and can't seem to find a solution. Brand new htc one m8 text messages almost always say they fail to go through, even if do in fact go through. A majority of incoming calls Will never show up either. I've missed several work calls already, can anyone just detail a fix?
Edit: for the record I just switched to Verizon a few days agoafter being on Sprint several years. I posted a thread there but one seems to know what they're talking about.

Thanks, but unfortunately that didn't work for me. This stinks. :'( I've also tried a ##72786# reset and that didn't work either.
Texting works in CPTB's GPE just fine for me though. I dual boot with MultiROM. GPE is now my daily driver because of this, and I leave stock Sense on there to update profile and prl periodically.
I also use the lONElyX Kernel.
Update: Installed the updated lONElyX #23, and now it seems to work. So, some combination of reverse tunneling and/or updated kernel fixed my problem.

It was mine. Texting is working now. I updated my previous post. I am not sure if it was disabling reverse tunneling or the new Kernel, but all is well now. Thanks.
I already ordered a replacement but i have a feeling this issue Will pop up again. Is there no fix without root?
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Free mobile app
If you can figure out your MSL code, reverse tunnelling fix may work for you without root. But, I'm not sure that is the fix or if a new kernel was.
On a side note, I switched to CPTB's BeyondStock kernel and my texting still works.

No. Just check your APN settings if you have issues with mms.

May not be your problem, but in a custom ROM I stopped using Hangouts because it was keeping my phone awake all the time. So I switched to the "messaging" app. Sending an MMS caused it to FC 100% of the time. Downloaded "Messenger" from the play store and it works fine.
