I am in the library want to send a picture text but there is no signal here. So i use wifi calling. However mms requires real internet and not wifi so its not going through. Any work around other than leaving the library?
When Wi-Fi calling is enabled, everything goes over it: Calls, sms, mms. I've done it, works fine.

T989 SMS/MMS stuck at "Sending..." Can receive, but not send on Wifi-Calling.
At home, wifi calling works perfectly. SMS/MMS, calling, web. Everything.
But at work, (unknown router to me), wifi calling works, web works, but sms/mms gets hung up on "Sending..." however I am able to receive texts via wifi calling. Just can't send. I have to disable wifi calling while at work, then my sms/mms goes through just fine.
Anybody know why this may be? This seems to be router-dependent... or is it a bug/glitch in T-Mobile's wifi calling software?
Additional info: I did the 2.3.6 update over my existing stock rooted T-Mobile OS. I kept all my settings, apps, etc, but just updated and also was unrooted, apparently.
This seems to be a pretty common issue with the update. Myself and others have discussed it in another thread here. Its really hit or miss. Sometimes i can send and receive mms at home, sometimes i cant. At work it never does.

Thanks. I hope T-Mobile fixes this. What thread is this discussion in?? I looked
Hey guys, I just flashed juggernaut 5.0, and I've slowly come to realize that I only receive texts when I'm on wifi, through wifi calling. I can send just fine, but if I'm not on wifi calling, I don't receive until I get back onto wifi calling, when I receive all the texts at once.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Try texting yourself on carrier data and see if that works. Sometimes simple things like that fix issues.
H812 on Rogers,
I can't send mms using Google messenger whilst I'm connected to wifi. I can receive no problem however. In order to send I must turn wifi off. Bit of a pain...
Edit: works perfect using stock messaging app.
Anyone else notice this?
Note: I know I can't use wifi to send or receive. That's not an issue.
Some mms apps are not smart enough to switch to cell data to authenticate. See if there is a setting to send via cell

No such setting. Also, stock messaging app has no issues..
My moto z play is connected to tmobile's network. I'm using qksms as my sms app. Whenever I try to send a picture as an sms attachment, it just gets stuck sending and never finishes. If someone tries to send me a text with a picture attached, I never get the message. As soon as I disconnect from wifi or turn wifi off, I am able to send and receive sms picture message perfectly. Does anyone know how to fix this? I thought my apn was setup correctly. But maybe it isn't.
Edit: Apparently it is a problem with qksms. I switched to YATTA and it works perfectly now. Chomp and textra are also fine so it's just something wrong with QKsms.
Some carriers will only route MMS over the data connection. They can't authenticate via wifi. Most SMS apps are aware of this and are smart enough to force cell data even when you have a Wi-Fi connection.
Hi folks,
I've got a new problem that started after I updated my D851 from (stock/rooted) Lollipop to (stock/rooted) Marshmallow.
When I'm home, I've got a decent LTE signal (ATT, though using the T-Mobile phone variant). But since I'm home, my phone connects to my wifi and uses it for data. I have no problem making/receiving calls or SMS texts to a single person at a time.
However, as long as I'm connected to WIFI (with my cellular signal present but not used for data due to the WIFI), neither MMS nor group texts work. In the stock Messages app, or the Messaging app I actually usually use, these MMS or group texts sit there as "sending..."
If I turn off the wifi, the cellular data signal is used immediately and the texts go through. Same goes for receiving MMS.
Again, this only happens since the marshmallow update that I applied a couple weeks ago.
I have not found a fix. I found lots of people complaining, and a few proposed solutions, like changing the APN so that the APN Protocol would be set to IPv4/IPv6 instead of the default IPv4. See here for that reference, though it didn't work for me:
https://support.t-mobile.com/thread/61843?tstart=0
Anybody have a fix for this? it's a real problem particularly for incoming messages. I can always toggle wifi off if I want to send something, but not knowing when something is coming in gets to be a problem. SMS from single conversations come through.
Please help me troubleshoot this. I've googled my fingers to the bone and while I've found reports of issues like this going back years, no actual solutions that work for me.
HELP!
There's one workaround so far... using Textra as the messaging app. It has an option called the T-Mobile Wifi Calling fix (in Settings/MMS/scroll down to bottom). Even though my wifi calling is set to off, since I'm on ATT, enabling this setting in Textra automatically toggles off WiFi to send MMS/group sms, and it does the same when it detects an attempted incoming MMS.
I much prefer the Google Messages app, for a variety of reasons, and I'm looking to figure out a real fix rather than this workaround. Any help most appreciated.
