This may help some of you out and maybe not but wanted to share to help out.
I had MMS/Picture Messaging problem (Error in Server Response) with Obsidian v2 & v4.2 ULF until I followed steps below:

This fixed it perfectly for me:

Go to your main menu settings.
Than Applications, Next Manage Applications, than Running Applications.
Click on "Messaging", Click "Clear Data"
Exit back to main screen.

Now open messaging.
Go to messaging settings by hitting the menu button on the phone.
While in messaging settings page, hit the phones menu button again,
only one option appears to "Restore Default Settings".
Click it & exit.

Now try to send a MMS/picture message. Worked like a charm for me.

Hope it helps some of you all out.

I'm running on Axura 2.4 and been having this problem. Thanks a bunch for the remedy!

Your welcome. When I had the issue I kept seeing other posts about the issue with no real fix solutions offered. Some one suggested to type a 1 in front of your contacts to get it to work but I thought their had to be a better way if my SMS worked just fine. So I explored further and this worked perfectly for me.

Thinking problem is from lag fix conversion process or from flashing between 2.2 ROMS. But was easy fix either way now that I know.

Thought it might help other 2.2 ROMS as well with similar issues.

does not work....eugenes froyo odin

I also briefly tried telling the phone to connect automatically to a preferred network when I explored fixing the issue on my phone. So other people could try that as well if still no luck with the above method. I'm just glad if ti fixes some peoples MMS problems mainly Obsidian ROM since that's what I'm running.


If does not work with Eugenes or others...well that why I put in CAPS "POTENTIAL FIX" lol

Nope... it doesn't work. Putting a 1 in front of the phone number does work.

Edit
I am running Obesidian V5 Beta btw. But i had this same problem in Obesidan V4.2

Nice.... Tested on Axura 2.0.4.

Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

Tried to send another mms and it didn't work anymore. Went back and repeat your setting steps again and it still didn't work. Thanks for the effort. It was fun getting that one mms to send.

Export your contacts to your sim card, and you might show double contacts, but use the one on your sim, and BAMM , it will send without a hitch.

This POTENTIAL FIX did not fix after all permanently. Problem appeared again. Tried and still no luck. Going to look into further. If something else comes to mind will share again. At least it was a glimmer of hope to have it work normally even if briefly without a "workaround" approach.
