Galaxy S3 flashed to PagePlus - Now can't get MMS

[Jessica Smith]

Hi,

First I tried this method:
Picture
(01) INSTALL APN BACKUP & RESTORE
(02) START APN BACKUP & RESTORE
(03) SELECT BACKUP APNS
(04) SELECT OK
(05) NOW BROWSE YOUR SD CARD, LOOK FOR APNBACKUPRESTORE FOLDER
(06) COPY & PASTE PAGEPLUS.XML INTO FOLDER
(07) GO BACK TO APN BACKUP & RESTORE
(08) CLICK DELETE APNS
(09) NOW CLICK RESTORE APNS
(10) SELECT PAGEPLUS.XML
(11) SELECT OK
(12) REBOOT PHONE

I downloaded APN Backup and Restore. I had to Enable ICS to do anything. I was able to paste pageplus.xml into my backup folder but when I went to Delete APNs, I get this message:

Delete failed: No permission to write APN settings: Neither user 10148 nor current process has android.permission. WRITE_APN_SETTINGS.

so..............

I try the alternate fix and install GOSMS PRO.

(01) INSTALL GOSMS PRO
(02) START GOSMS
(03) PRESS MENU
(04) SELECT SETTINGS
(05) SELECT ADVANCED (AT TOP)
(06) MMS SETTINGS
(07) CHECK FILL APN CONFIGURATION MANUALLY
(08) SELECT MMSC
(09) FILL IN (HTTP://MMS.VTEXT.COM/SERVLETS/MMS)


I go to setting/advanced/MMS Settings/Fill APN configuration manually and then I check that off.

I go into MMSC and type in:

http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms

and hit OK.

Unfortunately the pics still don't download.

I can't figure out what I 'm doing wrong.

Thanks for any help.

How did you flash your Sprint Samsung Galxay s3 to page plus, Im trying to figutre that out how to do it, so I can get it

 

[Jessica Smith]

Ha ha. I cheated and paid someone on Ebay. (I don't recommend who I used though). You're smart to even attempt.

I actually got my MMS to work. Well it's a workaround. I have to turn off my Wireless. Don't know why that is and would prefer it work on wireless connection since I do use wireless while at home. Oh well, guess I should be thankful there is a workaround.

After you flash your phone (and I know you will successfully), let me know how you get your MMS. Good Luck!

I have the same problem got mms to work with stock app but won't send with wifi on or connected I should say

It's actually a common problem for phones that are flashed to page plus. The solution varies phone to phone and I have never flashed an s3 with mms.

My suggestion would be to Google it. I know simple but trust me it helps.

Not just Page Plus. There are a bunch of posts in the AT&T S3 subforum about the same issue.

Try using the vzw msg app. That should help.

MMS does not work on Wi-Fi. MMS uses your Data to send and receive. When you have Wi-Fi on do you turn off Data?

Root phone, move apnbackupandrestore to system app folder reboot, then do steps

Have you looked at your APN settings?

Here's what fixed my MMS settings.

Either download an apn manager or go to Google Hangouts -> Settings -> Access Point Names. Check it against:
FAQ - Page Plus Remote Flash

Everyone who has flashed to page plus you probably wont find a better application then this for mms download xms on playstore it's the best only thing is person your sending to has to have it to just do what I did told all my friends that have a 100 apps anyways to download xms to...good luck.... but after I re-up my monthly plan again my gosms starting working right go figure lol

Hello,
I had the same problem when i went over to page plus from sprint, i am using a samsung galaxy 3. You are on the right by getting sms pro but all you need to do you is look for the setting for straight talk and it will walk you throught the setting for mms. You made have to setup throught sms pro setting but its not big deal , just search the web and follow the instructions.
