[SOLVED] Unable to send/receive MMS

auburnham · #1 (**permalink**) 10-12-2011, 06:58 PM

I had been unable to send or receive MMS messages with FRX07.1. The sending issue was characterized by a persistent "sending" message, and the message was never sent. The receiving issue was characterized by a "downloading" message and the media was never downloaded. I tried several different APN settings and none would work.

I changed my radio from 2.32WU to 2.37WV and MMS now works with the APN settings in the FAQ.

Thanks to arrrghhh for the suggestion in this post. I guess this just means that I can't switch to GSM towers in the US if I wanted to, but that's not a big deal.

AFAIK the radio will work for GSM if you need it. Glad it fixed the problem!

Gawd... No. You took that completely out of context. I meant it'll work for both - the OP seemed concerned that changing radio versions would only work for CDMA, and it wouldn't work anymore for GSM - which isn't true. My point was it'll work for both...

Did you try actually sending a pic? I dunno if sending a pic to yourself even works. Never tried it TBH.

Radio firmware upgrades are a WinMo thing...

In the same boat. MMS forever downloads, only says SENDING. Grrr.

Works great for me! Doublecheck your settings. There are many, many people on Sprint that have fully functional MMS (with the right settings configured).
