[Q] LG G2 Straight Talk MMS Issue After Kit Kat Update

DanielMena9 · Feb 27, 2014

Hi Everyone,

I recently received the update to 4.4.2 on my LG G2 on Straight Talk. I am on the "new" SIM card (post November or something). Before when I was on 4.2.2 I would be able to send and receive MMS but now after the update I do not have access to MMS neither sending nor receiving. I was wondering if any of you were in the same boat and whether any of you had a fix ?

I have tried lots of APN settings as well.

Thanks,

Daniel

Net10 same problem can't send or receive mms after Kit Kat updated

My LG G2 AT&T updated to KIT KAT and now I can't send or receive MMS. I think AT&T turn off MMS feature on different carrier.
AT&T are being evil not letting us go to different carriers.

Better not be the case, I'm not so impressed with the update anyways. They could of added more. If I really have to, I don't mind going back to aosp. I'll call customer service l8r but if anyone gets an update please post it

Update 2/27/14: I was on the phone with them last night for about 45 min and they ran me through the useless reboot procedures.

They eventually opened a ticket and they stated that if my MMS wasn't fixed in 24 hours to give them a call. It has been about 12 and still no fix.

Same here. Spoke with a guy in tech support, was a waste of my lunch break. No solution

APN

Usually issues about not being able to send MMS messages are because of incorrectly set APN.

Settings > Tethering and networks > Mobile networks > Access point names and select your appropriate carrier, if not, may need to be put in manually...

Edit:
Only reason I can think of even though @DanielMena9 has said he's messed with those settings...

Try this:

Code:

Name - Straight Talk
Apn - tfdata
MMSC - http://mms-tf.net
Mms proxy - 66.209.11.33
Port- 80

@dily816

Code:

Name: NET10
APN: tfdata
Proxy:
Port:
Username:
Password:
MMSC: http://mms-tf.net
MMS proxy: mms3.tracfone.com
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication type:
APN type: default,mms,supl,hipri,fota

Select the APN and reboot...

I am having the exact same problem. I use this phone with my tmobile SIM and before the kit kat update mms worked perfectly but after it doesn't work at all. Sms works fine and the apn settings are ccorrect. Is this issue only happening on straight talk and non at&t sims?

Not sure. I have an "att compatible" Sim card from straight talk. I'm guessing the issue is those with non att sim cards. I just don't think people are reporting the issue. Wish someone would confirm their mms is okay

I've tried hangouts, evolve, & textra. Even tried changing textra's mms settings. Also managed to get root. Thought if i could delete the att apn, it might help. Managed to delete but still nothing

I did some poking around in the the hidden menus that the launcher pro activities widget exploit opens up on the D800. But unfortunately I didn't mess with to much for fear of really messing something up. Hopefully the service ticket through at&t tech will yield some results.

I have the same issue, I am on AT&T. Cannot send or receive pictures through standard texting which was working good before kitkat update

shades333 · Mar 2, 2014

This is clearly a kitkat related issue since we are all having the same issue since upgrade to 4.4.2.
I realized some have called straight talk, and AT&T... hopefully AT&T will entertain us.

Sent from my LG-D800 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

You mentioned that you are using a T-Mobile Straight Talk SIM card or a straight up T-Mobile SIM card and it stopped working after the Kit Kat update?

I just want to confirm if the issue is Straight Talk LG G2 Kit Kat exclusive or LG G2 Kit Kat wide regardless of SIM / company.

I am using my regular T-mobile SIM card, not a straight talk SIM. And yes mms worked without a hitch on JB.

Gah! So this is an LG / AT&T Kit Kat issue :/ its going to take forever to fix if there ever is a fix

I am going to walk to a store sometime and see if a display LG G2 updates for Kit Kat can send MMS

Straight Talk mms

I had the same problem everyone has mentioned. The reason is that after the KK update you couldn't enter the APN type. It is grayed out. You can enter every other setting on edit access point except APN type. So this is what you have to do.1.Use the LG Flash tool and flash back to the D80010d software. Do not let the phone take the q update. Do this 2..http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2633150 after adding root and the custom recovery do this 3. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2665391 So when you are finished you will be A. On Kit Kat, rooted but without a custom recovery and be able to add the APN type. I know this all sound like a big PITA but it doesn't really take all that long. None of this is anything I thought of. Please give a thanks to all the developers who put in all the hard work
Just figured out you have to set up the APN BEFORE flashing Kit Kat.

same issues with MMS

I am in the same boat with receiving and sending MMS after 4.4.2 update. I have the correct SIM card. Was working fine before the update. I still get 4G LTE data. But before the update there was no pre-existing APN's. Now there is an AT&T APN that cannot be deleted or modified. I have tried all different APN settings. Looks like AT&T has made it to where we have to go directly through them. So hopefully someone figures something out or looks like I'm gonna have to go to AT&T. It'll cost about $25 more a month but what's the point of having a smartphone if u can't do picture mail? Someone please get this figured out. Please.
