cm6 mms downloading problem

I'm not sure what to do about this, I'm running cyanogenmod6 nightly build-87 (10-11-10). I have on gapps mdpi 10-8-10 and the froyo mms fix.

My phones info is

Baseband version: 2.42.01.04.27

Kernel version: 2.6.29.6-cyanogenmodameer@darchstar #3

Build number: FRG83

What I don't understand is that I have internet connection, I'm actually posting this from my phone, but yet when I try downloading mms messages it lights up my 3g arrows and then says message download unsuccessful. Iv tryed using stock messaging app and handcent and its the same for both. Iv tryed updating permissions and I know my phone is compatable to open the message because I even tried sending myself a ringtone, it sent. But then I couldn't receive it.

Any suggestions on how to fix this? And if not maybe I could try going back to a rom that allows me to update prl and profile? But I can't find one of those either... anyone have a link to one?

What is your PRL? Look here for fresh [ROM] 08/30/10 | Fresh Hero 2.4.0 | Incremental Update For Freshness - xda-developers

im not sure how to check from the cm6 version. but i flashed back to the fresh rom from this link and then updated prl and profile. so they should now be up to date although im still confused how they stay up to date after i did the factory reset and then installed the cm6 nightly again. but neways iv come to realize its not all mms. i can still send AND RECIEVE pictures. but i can only send audio. i cant recieve it. theres something about an audio message that my phone wont download. any idea y? or if there could be a fix to this?

For those having troubles, have you tried flashing over to fresh and trying send/receive mms on fresh? Also update PRL while you are there. Then do a nandroid restore back to CM6


This is good advice^

I think that some phones just have issue with mms, and no matter what, it is difficult, if not impossible to completely repair. I have literally been trying to fix it for months, and while some ROMs work better than others, and the same with fixes, not one has totally fixed it. If it is an important message, having it sent twice may be the only guaranteed way to receive it. (or use email) That being said, don't give up if you're having issues, because you never know. Maybe the fix you didn't try would be the one that worked....
