I've figured out how to send MMS messages with Android on the Verizon network. Here's how:
Go to Settings -> Wireless Controls -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names -> Android
Modify the following settings:
MMSC: http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms?X-VZW-MDN=<your ten-digit phone number>
MMS proxy: leave empty
MMS port: 80
Please let me know if this works for you. Keep in mind that you must have a data connection open in order to send MMS.
As far as receiving messages, when a picture message comes in it properly receives the SMS, but it isn't recognized as an MMS message. It does however recognize that it's not a standard SMS so it doesn't go to your message inbox.
SENDING WORKS (for Verizon)

Telus
I've found some similar settings for Telus, but can't seem to make it work. If anyone wants to give it a shot, I've used the information here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=392284
So far, the message just sits there trying to send. The settings I'm currently using are:
MMSC: http://mmsfeplb01.int.eng.telusmobility.com/mms
MMS proxy: http://216.198.139.113
MMS port: 8088
pchaso, how long does it take you to send an MMS? I'm just curious how long I should wait before I deem a message failed, because it never seems to error out, just sits there.
Will try this soon pchaso

It takes seconds.
K, so I'm guessing I need something similar to the "?X-VZW-MDN=<your ten-digit phone number>" portion of the verizon settings. Where'd you find this info? It sucks to be so close and yet so far...

When you configure Arcsoft MMS for Verizon, you have to add a registry entry so that Arcsoft knows to send this field. This entry will cause arcsoft to post this value as part of the HTTP request to the mms servlet. I just took a stab in the dark by putting the value in the querystring. I actually didn't expect it to work...

Try it with X-MDN instead of X-VZW-MDN.

Cool just sent a pic to my email and it worked
Kinda just thinking outloud but do you think that we would need a Verizon APN with Verizon specific settings to begin to recieve mms? or does it have to do with dzo's hacked sms settings?...
I think it has something to do with the CDMA SMS format being different to that of GSM. I wish I had time to do some hacking on this myself...
Now that the droid is out, is there any update on receive settings?
Anything new on android verizon mms? Tried the instructions in the first post but it didn't work for me.
Bump... add me to the list of people who want to receive!
Thanks all who help dev this stuff, Android has consumed countless hrs of my time : )
bumpity bump bump
I would really like some development in this area. It seems some settings/apn's could be pulled from the vzw droid. Bluetooth is now working, along with accurate gps. This is the only thing left to be fixed for donut to be completely functional for our vogues.
Nothing new? Sending still works...let's receive! LOL
Need help from you guys then (I don't have Verizon).
1. Make sure MMS sending really does work (send it to someone and ask them if they got it).
2. Get ADB (the command prompt tool) working on Windows (search the forum, there's clear instructions -- its easy)
3. Plug your phone into your computer so you can connect with ADB.
4. Open a command prompt and navigate to where ADB is.
5. Type 'adb shell logcat -b radio > radiolog.txt' (no ')
6. Send a SMS to yourself. Then send an MMS to yourself.
7. Wait a little bit to make sure the MMS notification message is "received". 2-3 minutes should be good.
8. Terminate the adb logging and send me the log at jnadke [email protected]_ gmail dot com (spam proofed)
A MMS is just an SMS (text message) with instructions to go download data. When you send MMS, the Mms.apk application uses POST command. Receive just uses the GET command. However, this isn't being triggered because I don't think we're correctly interpreting the SMS message that tells us there's an MMS waiting.
I'm making an assumption that we're receiving the MMS notification, and that its reception generates an AT command. It may not, I haven't looked at the SMS RIL code. It's possible I might need to give you a RIL that logs the raw SMS data, so I can compare a SMS message and a SMS-MMS notification message (to see if there's a flag somewhere).
The code is already there in Mms.apk to receive, we're just not telling it to...

Well I have a sprint touch and I can receive. Not sure why everyone says they can't, but I followed the thread and the only sprint version I saw was for the thouch pro 3 so I tried that and it sends but it doesn't make it to the person I'm sending to, tried sending to my email and phone.

You can receive? But can't send? Sounds strange. Make sure your entering your phone number in the MMSC field as 1234567890 not <1234567890> thats what I was doing wrong initially. Can you post a link to the tp2 thread you are reffering to...I've seen a few but none mentoined any setting besides the ones already listed in this thread.
It was just on the 3rd Or 4th page I think. : http:// Developement" section: http:// forum.xda-developers.com/ showthread.php?t=627388. Yeah I was always able to receive mms, ever since I started using android back in January. But I put in those settings for touch pro 2 found on that site cause it was sprint qnd I was finally able to send it but it wouldn't make it to the person I was sending to.

When you "receive", is it the actual image or a web link to it? Everyone gets the web link - that just means Sprint thinks your phone isn't MMS-capable on the server side so they text you a link instead. You're not "receiving MMS" unless you get the image straight to your phone.

You can just edit the T-mobile apn. Keep in mind once you edit it and save it the apn deletes itself. Then all your left with is the telkila apn. Everything will continue to work as it did before.

It's not strange, sprint doesn't send MMS to the phone through the old fashion way, they send a link to your phone and you follow that to a webpage containing your image
Hey guys I'm curious, before I make the change how many of us can access mms on our vogues?
I know my carrier (Bell Mobility, Canada) blocks them. what about the rest of you?
In android, winmo, or in general?
i can send with verizon but not recieve
I have verizon so I can send but not receive.
In truth I've never really used mms all that much on any phone.
On sprint, so I receive a link but not send.
interesting..
all right no worries then I was going to disable mms, but if it partially works for some of you we'll leave it.

It doesnt work right off the bat for me.It only sends on verizon for me if i change these settings. Recieving still doesnt work regardless. Mabye you can help get it going for us.

MMS works if you use the right settings.
Unfortunately right settings is carrier-specific. And it's not server-provided.
Something is botching the receive messages though. That needs to be fixed.

A quick search of the 'nets says Bell Mobility does support MMS, they just charge you 50 cents per message.
I've seen:
MMSC Server: http://BellMMSC.bell.ca
User Agent: LGE-LG8700 UP.Browser/6.2.3.2 (GUI) MMP/2.0
User Agent Profile: http://uaprof.bellmobilite.ca/BMC_LGE_LG8700_CX87BL05.rdf

Buffer Length: 7
User Agent String: LGE-LGE8700 QtvPlayer/5.4
As an example of MMS settings.
Verizon allows the sending and receiving of MMS (pic messages) works on Winmo but only sending works on andoid. I believe jnadke mentioned that android does see the incoming message as a MMS but somehow the messaging app does not know how to retrieve it.

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).

oh also using t-mobile
I have the same prob. I am not sure how to fix it. I am scared to call TMo b/c I have the $9.99 internet plan. I don't want to get busted and have to pay for the data $$ plan.
lol i dont even have an internet plan. xD some said to call tmobile to ask for the settings but yah i have the same fear as u do
i had the same problem.. i called tmo and they tried everything in their power to help me.. hahaha yea right! lol but anyways, they really did try to help but nothing worked.. i could receive them but couldnt send them..
*** I fixed this issue =]].. if you have the sms app handcent ***
click on it, hit the menu button, got to settings, hit send message settings, scroll down to "maximum mms size" choose 300K... by default it would say 1M, thats too big for most phones..
it worked for me, hopefully you too =]]
tried handcent. tried imageshrink lite. no workie still =[
My situation is a little different.
I can send and receive to all my family and friends. Except one friend.
He can send, and I can receive.
But I can't send him any MMS. They show up as blank.

Android resizes to send mms on the nexus but it doesn't make it small enough for a lot of phones like the iPhone, I can't send mms to my friends with iPhones. I don't know whether android just hates apple that much or whether android just didn't think sending mms was near the top of their customers' lists. Android can be really out of touch alot of the time. But you can use a third party app to send mms. I feel like a jackass to have to tell you to get a third party app to perform on your "super"phone what for all other "smart"phones is a basic function, but that's android for you. Maybe when they fix the ui theyll add a function that lets us send mms to the most popular phone in America.

I was able to send MMS to everyone, without issues. This only happened when I went Froyo.
I had the same problem when sending mms to AT&T people using default messenging. Switched over to handcent and it worked
been trying different sizes on handcent. even down to 100k. no workie still. =/ is this a froyo prob or just me?
I resized as well. It will not work for me. I just email it to send something.
I have the same proble....i receive the picture message and when I try to download it says downloading and then nothing happens and the download button appears again
Same exact issue here.
Yes, I know this question has been asked 150,000 times. Yes, I've read the threads. Dozens of times.
I have a Droid 1 on Cricket's $45 plan, and it's working perfectly. Calls, text, data, everything works 100% of the time, except MMS.
I've tried different roms (stock, bugless beast 0.2 and onwards, gpa15, gpa16, gpa17, simplystunning 5.2-.4, liquid gingerbread 2.0-.6, cyanogenmod 6-7, droid concepts, all of them), I've tried greenk45, I've tried xsylus's recommended apn settings + scriptrunner, I've tried the regular cricket APN settings (wap.mycricket.com:8080, 310:004, 310:016, server being * or wap.mycricket.com or mms.mycricket.com etc.) I've tried EVERYTHING.
And no matter what, when I try sending an MMS it just keeps 'sending' forever, and when I send an MMS from another phone or text4free.net, I get a text from 8662742538 saying "Multimedia messages are being sent to your device, but your device doesn't support these messages. Visit your nearest Cricket store for new device options"
I will do ANYTHING. ANYTHING you tell me to do. I will flash any rom, I will type any APN settings, run any script, I don't care what it takes. I just want to receive a single MMS on this otherwise perfectly-working phone.
I've been a C/assembly programmer for 13 years, I'm no stranger to any technical jargon you can throw at me, I just desperately need to know why this unimaginably simple task is impossible to achieve.
Log into your mycricket.com account and check your plan. This just happen to my wife's phone. I changed phones and did a ESN change. It removed "Picure Messaging/text messaging" and replaced it with "text messaging". Therefore you'll get that message when someone sends you an MMS because your phone does not have that feature enabled.
Call cricket and have them provision your phone again. I had to tell them i had a Samsung (cricket phone) and explained that it was flashed to Sprint and back to cricket.
not sure if this applies to cricket but on verizon, i couldn't ever send a mms without setting my data to enabled, if i didn't enable data it would take 399 years
Believe me, it's the account settings. When I did a ESN change a few days ago the system automatically removed Picture/Video. I had to call back and tell them i had a Samsung R560 and refresh my account. Then it showed back up and I no longer get that message when pictures are sent to the phone.
Very interesting! I logged in and only had text messaging, no picture messaging listed. I called 1-800-CRICKET and a lady said everything was now fixed, but still no MMS. Now there's not only no picture messaging listed, but no regular texting either. Seems strange.
Perhaps worst of all, when sending test MMS's from web sites, I'm no longer receiving the dreaded 'your device doesn't support these messages' text from 8662742538 that I used to, now there's no notification of anything whatsoever!
I've posted a screenshot of my current plan settings at the end of this post, can anyone comment? I'll go to the local Cricket shop tomorrow, but I doubt they'll know what's going on - it's a very small shop that doesn't do flashes or anything.
Pic link (can't post links/attachments yet):
i40.tinypic.com/307yefd.png
OK the Cricket store said everything was 100% fine, there was nothing wrong with my plan, and that picture messaging was included. Though if you look in the screenshot, there's still nothing mentioning picture messaging.
Could someone post an (anonymous of course) screenshot of their plan from mycricket.com? Preferably someone on the $45 plan. I just don't understand why it's so difficult to receive MMS messages - if I had a debugger and access to the phone's radio I could figure this out in 5 minutes, the current system seems like nothing but voodoo.
Well nothing changed regarding my last post, and I didn't change any settings on my phone, but now SMS is sending and receiving. No idea why.
APN settings I've had for the past month: Name: Cricket, APN: internet, no proxy, no port, user: (MDN)@mycricket.com, pass: cricket, server: wap.mycricket.com, mmsc: hxxp://mms.mycricket.com/servlets/mms (hxxp changed to allow posting here), no proxy, no port, mcc: 310, mnc: 016, apn type: default,mms. this is all using the dns-based autostart.sh being executed by ScriptRunner.
Also if anyone has trouble with the APN list appearing empty or edited entries disappearing, it's because your build.prop file is listing a different MCC/MNC pair than the APN you've entered - your build.prop probably lists ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric as 310004 or something, so unless the APN matches that (try changing MNC to 016 and watch it disappear), Android decides not to display it.
