i cant send mms on calkulin, only receive.
have played with apn settings to no avail.
please help
 
I get the same on any other custom rom. Can only receive picture messages but can't send them, even with editing the apn settings and making sure they match stock.

do you have stock messenger ap installed i had the same issue after i frooze messenger apk with titanium backup so if you dont' have the stock apk that may be the underlining issue
 
couldnt figure out the correct APN settings on Calkulin(GB)
went back to stock (used the guide) - sending mms worked
rooted (used the guide) - sending mms worked
then flashed Calkulin 2 (IS) - mms broke again! played with APN but couldnt fix

Im going to try CM10. If that doesnt work guess Ill have to stick to stock rooted.

surely someone else using Calkulin has figured out how to send mms...
please help
 
yeah cm10 didnt work either. I think the roms have to be specifically made for Boost for MMS to work properly...

The problem apparently is not in the APN settings.My guess is it's the user data profile. You can use the dialer code and your MSL to edit them (except I'm having an issue with a modem error on CM10 so I cannot confirm) but if you have the shortcut maker app you can type sprint and then choose the com.android.sprintmenu DATA option and launch it.

If you go to the others menu and then MMSC URL is not set to the required boost mobile settings. Like I said I cannot confirm this because on CM10 I have an error so I cannot edit them (I am working on it will report back soon). but if you have your msl and a way to get to the settings (I used dialer code *#*#3282#*#*) you may be able to set them back to the required settings.
 
well I updated the profile and prl each time i switched roms, does that matter?

does anyone know what the correct settings are for Boost for
1) APN
2) user data profile

yes I googled, but every hit had slightly different results...

I'm running CM10. Its the kernel that comes with it I have the fh23 modem. It will work with any ROM because its just deleting 3 config files and replacing them.

I duplicated your exact same setup and flashed the MMS fix file mentioned above. It still didnt work. any ideas? do you think this is a hardware issue?

That is really weird. Did you get any error codes or failures of sorts when you flashed it? Check your APN settings and see if it is changed but not selected?

I messed with APN settings a million times and I thougth the MMS fix zip reset all that stuff anyways. Im so over it.

I gave up. I just went back to stock per the guide, updated to FH29, rooted and sending MMS worked again.

as a note after i did that I installed Handscent and MMS broke again. I uninstalled and MMS works again with the stock messaging app.

It deletes all the old apn settings and makes a new one that works with boost, but maybe it wasn't selected by default. That was my only guess. It's been confirmed working by a couple people. Not really sure what your problem is.

neither am I. I tapped out. back on stock rooted. not being able to send MMS was really putting a damper on my love life lol.
 
Its not downloading in a normal easy to find place. The path is so long that on es file manager I can't see the whole thing to see where it starts. Lol. Where's it at? Normally stuff like this downloads to the download folder on my ext SD card so idk.
