I am running KaosFroyo v37. I have Droid Wall installed and I've allowed Messenging and Handcent through. Also, I've turned on 3G. Anytime I try to download a MMS it fails. Even when I disable Droid Wall it fails. Help :confused:
 
That's a stock program so can't be uninstalled. Could be a problem with your custom rom. Don't know how to troubleshoot that. Sorry! Hopefully someone else will chime in.

Hello supra.

The KaosFroyo ROM has been worked over quite thoroughly by the dev wrt mms functionality; I think about 10 of the 30-some releases have change log notes about mms.

I never had an issue with mms after v24. What I would do, if an issue like you're describing came up, would be to take the trouble to re-flash the ROM, even though that issue is isolated and no other problems are showing up. Also, just my opinion, but I'd never use Droid Wall.

The reason for the re-flash would be to head off other possible things that could crop up or could be lurking in the background after attempting to disable Droid Wall (I hate those things).

While you say that you have turned on 3G, have you also turned off WiFi? If WiFi is active it will be used for all network data.

I do have to say that I hardly ever receive MMS messages, but I was also unable to get video messages to work with Kaos the one time that I received one a few months ago.

Thanks I think I'm doing to do that. I'm getting frustrated.
 
This is what got my MMS working....

1: Download and extract the xml file (xda won't allow me to load the xml file directly) from apns-conf.zip. Download the mms.apk. Place both in your SDK/Tools folder
2: Open your sdk/adb in command prompt on computer, hook up phone
3: Type adb shell to open the terminal emulator
4: Type:
$ su
$ mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
$ rm system/etc/apns-conf.xml
$ rm system/app/Mms.apk
$ exit
5: At the C: prompt, type:
adb push apns-conf.xml system/etc/apns-conf.xml
adb push Mms.apk system/app/Mms.apk
6: Type adb shell, then:
$ cd data/data/com.*.*.telephony/databases
$ rm telephony.db
$ rm mmssms.db
$ exit
$ adb reboot

Im trying to fix MMS from crashing - but the /databases directory does not exist under telephony! I cannot find that database for the life of me.

I am unable to recieve mms, and getting a multitude of crashes.
