[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v_lestat:
Ok all this is a cry for help from all users and people helping with the MIUI port...

It's also a cry for help TO all users and dev's who have worked on, altered, modded or otherwise, the original Chinese MIUI Rom for what ever phone system you did the work on.

Our Beloved EVO can not RECIEVE MMS messages.

the message starts to download and sometimes instantly says "error downloading file" (or attachment i forget) or it can go as long as 30 seconds and then error out.

The messages do get sent to the Sprint picture message site, or email if you sent it to an email instead of a ph. #

At first Sending did not work but bnice (and maybe others) got it working.

MMS SEND is confirmed working, but receiving does not.

Aside form a complete 100% decompile of the rom i do not think anything has not been covered but i am no android dev, god no, just a lover of the rom and bnice's great work.

bnice kind of took over where IncredibleDoes started and has done a knockout job of getting near everything to work, but this MMS receive thing has got everyone stumped.

apn's have been swapped, examined, cross examined.

apk files have been swapped, examined and cross examined

yet nothing seems to be working.

to myself and a few others it feels like an authentication issue. sort of like when something is trying to gain authentication to a site or process, it may bomb out right away, others it might take a bit. all the while it looks like its doing something but really isnt.

I have observed via searches, other phones, be it MIUI or other rom's, not able to receive MMS messages. even stock phones right from the vendor had issues and it was fixed with an OTA fix.

PLEASE--- if you had a phone or rom that could not receive MMS messages we need your help in finding out what is causing this issue on the MIUI ROM.

each of us love different rom's, dev's, them's and phones, but there is one rom, aside from CM6 (and derivatives of said rom) that has gained quite the following across many phone platforms, and i feel is undeniably unique in every way, even down to the multitouch icon moving & screen flipping, its unique.

Other phone dev's with Verizon (for example) have gotten MMS receive working, but Verizon uses a different method I understand, for MMS send/receive and that method does not work on the EVO/Sprint.

if you think you can help or want to help or have any ideas please ask here or contact bnice directly or via the MIUI thread HERE . grab the rom, flash her, and see what you can make of the issue.

logcat does not work out of the gates, and others have said alogcat does not work either, but i have not tried yet since 1.23 was released.

Thanks in advance everyone, lets get MIUI up to speed with the other fabulous roms available for our EVO!

*** Just to Clarify whats happening.

I reflashed 1.23 again this morning and sent myself a message from gmail and the MMS header does appear on the phone, with the download button available.

when you click download, the button either comes right back like it hickuped and didnt download, or if you hit it again, or again and again, the mms message may just sit there for seconds, to minutes saying "downloading"

but infact no error message popped up.
