Why can't I send a mms message over 3G?

Hello everybody I been having trouble sending mms over 3g. 4g and wifi work perfectly fine but 3g doesn't send for me. Could somebody test this out first before posting your opinion thanks. I've tried Calkium's 1.6, Venuim's latest ROM version 0.1.1, cyanogen mod 9 alpha 4, and paranoid Android 1.3. Pretty much any ROM I have tried.
If I helped you out in any way please thank me. Thanks.

Which Rom? More details always helps those trying to help you at the other end
Edit: Works for me, it might be Sprint's network at the time? Try GoSMSPro if you are using CM9, AOKP or MIUI, I even use it with TW roms

As far as I'm aware, MMS doesn't go over wifi.

It does on our phone! I'm not sure if it's a Samsung thing but the E4GT does send mms on wifi. However if I disable the stock messaging app thru Handcent it would no longer work on wifi or 4g and sticks to 3g only..

Incorrect. MMS is only sent over 1x/3g in the stock messaging app. If you are in wifi or 4g it will activate 3g to send/receive the mms. Third party messaging apps have been known to work over wifi though.

Sorry but I'm not incorrect. My phone sends mms on wifi and 4g.. I can disable my 3g and send a mms thru 4g or wifi with no issue. I've tested this plenty of times and it works. It's a feature that kicked in on el29. Back in the previous builds it worked the way u mentioned but not anymore.. At least not on my phone.

No MMS over 3G
I'm having the same issue. I'm on Calk's last ICS ROM and i have updated the mmsc URL for my carrier (credo mobile) but I cannot send MMS on 3g. I can however, on 4G and Wi-fi.
And I do not have "handcent".
BUMP!

I really doubt you're sending MMS over wifi or 4G, as MMS only travels over the 3G network and in some cases the 1x network.
Download Go SMS Pro, and in the MMS settings area, enter your carriers MMS apn and see if you can send.

did you pay your bill!?? if im more then a week.late, sprint blocks data for me BUT leaves calling open... just a thought... if im on wifi or 4g the data is not effected....

MMS over WiFi Calling

Hi,
I am running ICS 4.0.4...using stock messaging or Go SMS.
Is there any way to fix the MMS over WiFi calling issue? It's awful. Even though group SMS works within Go SMS, it fails if I'm on WiFi calling, and my friends hate using GroupMe. Are there any APN settings I can change? a different MMS.apk app I can use?
I am rooted FYI.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Craig

Try Samsung's fix. Turn Wi-Fi on. Open gmail and send an email to yourself and attach a pic using the acct registered to for your phone. Once you get that, try sending an mms to yourself. You should get it fairly quickly.

Yes it's a permanent fix. 2nd level tech support at tmo told me about this a few months ago and its worked for me and my wife's phone several times when I've flashed a new Rom that mms over Wi-Fi hasn't worked.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app

Didn't work for me unfortunately..

This doesnt work. Mines just switches to 4g to send it then back to wifi..

Well sorry guys. It's supposed to be the fix from Samsung and its worked for me numerous times.

I believe the issue with GOSMS themselves been testing out MMS over wifi, so far i found it works fine with the stock MMS app and Handcent SMS. Going to try some other apps and see if they work.
Seems i may go back to HandcentSMS until GOSMS fixes it.

I have tried that technique but it failed.....

Thats because it doesnt work. Thats why these devs made it work with the stock DEODEX version or any other custom roms.. I want to see a video from the person that has "achieve" this. Because all I get is when on WIFI, and I send a MMS, 4G comes on real quick to send it and receive it then it switches off.

Im the one who originally posted the Samsung fix several months ago. I have used it after MMS over wifi not working on several ROMS after initial flash, including my current ROM Beastmade (odexed).
Here is your requested video. I sent an MMS to myself, and you can see 4G never turns on. Only wifi uploads/downloads.
Here you go!

MMS only works over data! If on wifi calling it will switch over to data to send and if data is off it will not send.

That's incorrect! If you watch the video i posted 4g never turns on. Also, i just tried it after turning data off and it went thru. If you'd like a friendly $100 PayPal wager I'd be happy to post a video showing it

Can't send or recieve picture messages

So this is a problem I've had for a while now. I can't send or receive picture messages. When I try to send a picture it just stays on sending, but the picture never actually sends. When someone sends me a picture it gives me the option to download (whether my settings are set to auto retrieve or not) and when I click on download it just hangs there. I've tried sending a picture to myself and that works fine. Right now I'm on the Jedi Knight V3 ROM, but I've had this problem on Darkside Evolution, AOKP, and even stock 4.0.4 rooted. Please help!!!

Is your APN set correctly? I don't have any reason to believe it's not, but usually MMS problems have to do with APNs.

Hmm bummer man. Ive used 3 of the 4 ROMS you listed, and on one of them I had to do these steps to get it to work, the other 2 it worked out of the box. Im out of ideas.

Whos your carrier? If its Tmobile or simple mobile, wipe both proxies in your APN setup. Also when you receive or send MMS make sure your WIFI is OFF not on...

[Q] MMS issue on Sprint GS3 flash to Verizon Prepay

Flashed successfully last week, rooted now and running CM10 with ParanoidAndroid 2.54. Talk, SMS, Web, Wi-Fi, Bluethooth, pretty much everything but MMS. I installed APN Backup - Restore, used TB Pro and added as system app.
Backed up current APN list, downloaded and edited to what I have found on the interwebz as the correct APN settings for Verizon, copied back to device and restored through APN Backup and Restore, no errors or issues. Reboot, sent test MMS, nadda, zip, zilch. Message is stuck "Sending..." forever..
I know about GO SMS, however all it does is send a hyperlink of the image to the recipient to go fetch the attachment, which I can pretty much do with DropBox and enable camera uploads..
Did I search the fourms? Yes I friggin did! If anyone out there can point me to the right file, APN list, anything ... I would appreciate it :good:

[Q] Jellyverse and Metropcs Pic Mail issues

Jellyverse v3 allowed me to get picture mail from the .zip file provided in the MMS fix thread for metropcs....
Now I have upgraded to Jv1.0 and I have flashed all of the MMS fix and still no Pic mail....
what could the problem be?

You may need to change your mmsc url. I know that's what I have to do since I'm on a boost variant. There's threads to talk you through that if you don't know. Hope it helps!
