Help Struggling to send MMS

[SpartanJ59]

Anyone having this problem? I am running a custom ROM but I doubt it'll be that. It's weird it doesn't send yet I receive them fine.

You might want to check your APN to make sure the MMS part is set up correctly to send them out... what carrier are you on?

 

[SpartanJ59]

MetroPCS

MetroPCS

check and see if your APN data matches this

And where do I go to check these APN settings?

Depends on your carrier. I linked to the MetroPCS ones in my post above.

Well I'm metro obviously, but your link doesn't say how to get to the settings menu, just says what to put

My mistake. Should be under something like settings>Mobile data (click on the box, not the toggle)>access point names

Nope, not seeing anything

You don't have something like this?

Nope. I remember seeing the option on my lf connect, but not this spirit phone

Maybe a bad download , i don't know why your post is here and not on the root section . Try posting your problem there . Also , check to see if your phone is on airplane mode . My phone use to act funny sending messages too , back in the days . Had to redownload and reflash then i checked my sms settings . All is working great now , sometimes your phone might have malicious apps . Try downloading adfree and droidwall . Also try taking out the apps you didn't get from the play store unless its a legit apk . Also in the play store before installing a app check the comments and star ratings . You'll start to realize not all apps were created to help people . They make apps that steal your info or spam you with calls or notifications . Really sad if you ask me , and if you insist on having a app thats not from the play store . Make sure you blacklist it with droidwall , its a really kool app . You can check the apps permissions if you go to setting apps and press on the app in question scroll down untill you see all the permissions it has . If its from the play store it should tell you before the download starts which I'm pretty sure you knew already just thought I'd add it .

If you don't see an option to change it yourself, your best bet might be contacting your carrier to make sure everything is right on their end. They probably are able to send your phone the APN again, to make sure it's correct, or there might be an issue on their side that needs fixing.

There might be something in the LG Motion Forum regarding checking the APN

I think it requires entering some digits and characters in your phone app, then entering your EIN number or similar.

Again, check the LG Motion Forum.
