unlocked Galaxy Nexus on t-mobile USA can't MMS

Purchased a Galaxy Nexus HSPA direct from google. I am using it on T-Mobile USA on a family plan I share with my daughter. The plan has no data but includes unlimited text and MMS. (We get by on wifi for our Internet needs).
The problem I have is that my daughter's MyTouch 4g Slide (locked to T-Mobile) has been sending and receiving MMS fine with mobile data turned off. This has always been the case for 6 months running and it has not been when on wifi. However, my brand new Nexus cannot send or receive MMS with mobile data turned off. The only scenario I have to send and receive MMS is by turning on mobile data prior to sending an MMS or before one is received.
My goal is to have my Nexus send and receive MMS without having to turn on mobile data (like the older MyTouch 4g slide).
Our settings are slightly different, so replicating hers is not exactly possible. Below are the details of our devices. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Ya, I figure I will give going to the store a chance since I can't find the answer anywhere online. However, my situation is slightly different from yours as I do not have a data plan (but do have unlimited MMS in my contract)

I had a similar issue, which I fixed as follows:
Go to the APN settings, hit the menu key and reset to default.
I later found out that having the APN protocol set to ipv6 was an issue, so I got around that by setting up separate APNs with ipv4 for MMS, and ipv6 for data, etc...

I suspect the stock settings send text message via data and wifi connections. To test try sending a text when you are in your wifi area. As you can see, your daughter has 2 different APN setups while you have one for everything.

Me and my wife were in Florida in June and we brought our GSM Galaxy Nexuses with us.
I just walked in a T-Mobile store and purchased two SIMs. We tried one in my phone and it just wouldn't work with data at all... No MMS, no data.
He tried fiddling with APN settings to no avail until I rebooted the phone and then it all just worked and it worked perfectly fine for the next 3.5 weeks that we were there so I can definately say that if they tell you that it won't work because you don't have a T-mobile phone they're incompetent.
So my advice, reset your APN settings and reboot phone then test. If it doesn't work, start comparing APN settings with the other phone you have that works. And always reboot the phone if it doesn't start working immidiately.

Cannot send/ receive pictures in SMS on One X (S720E) on at&t post-paid

I have an factory unlocked/ OEM One X and use it on at&t network in NYC. No data. I have a plan with voice + unlimited text messaging.
My problem: I cannot receive picture people send me via text and I cannot send any either.
My APN settings are untouched and were set/ detected by the phone from the SIM.
Here they are. Help me please if you have any idea on how to solve this.

Here is the solution that worked for me. Hope this helps someone.
Attaching a picture to a SMS makes it a MMS and the transmission channel on the network is then different.
I also had a data block on my account on the at&t's end. That's what prevented any type of data to flow to/ from my phone.
Removing it allowed MMS to work even though I still data turned off on my phone in the settings.

I'm on a post paid plan but still use the Cingular APN. Here's my settings. The phone picked them up directly from the SIM and I didn't have to tweak anything. If you get funky results using the same settings it's probably due to the prepaid accounts being routed through seperate billing and administrative systems.

Thanks for posting. Same settings as mine.

Straight Talk APN Settings Help - Can't Receive MMS

Hey guys, been trying to solve this problem for over a week now.
I just got Straight Talk, with an ATT Sim Card.
I am using these APN settings from the ST website, which work fine for data and being able send MMS.
But I cannot receive MMS messages.
APN Settings

I can get data and send mms messages on all of these however.
Thanks for the help.

Should work. Let me know (i dealt with the same issue in the past it actually ended up being on straight talk's end but the settings are the correct ones)

I still can't receive mms. Tried about every APN setting.

What do you mean it was on Straight Talk's end? I kept saying that to them but they kept saying no. They also say there are no higher up management who they can transfer me to.
so stil....
Can't get my phone to receive MMS.
Every MMS message shows up as 32kb and it attempts to download, then just stops. It's impossible each mms message I receive is 32kb.
Straight talk just tells me its on my end and my phone isn't compatible.
Really annoying but I guess its just time to give up

I say "on their end" because after dealing with it for a month (calling Straight Talk and spending hours with different Reps, pouring over internet forums) I renewed my service for another 30 days and the issue was resolved...magically.
In regards to APN settings are you making sure to delete all existing APNs before starting a completely new one?

Yea I have done that many times. Also tried 5 different roms, the same result however.
You renewed using the same sim card or got a new one? maybe its the actual sim card number that is bugged on their end and I need to get a new one and a new number?
This is my first 30 days.
So I guess I'll renew once and hope for the best, who knows.

Believe me bro, I'm Soooo happy for you!!
I remember going through it and it was a Royal pain in the ass.
The reality is, when Straight Talk works property, it's the best out there (in my opinion anyway).

I cant get MMS. I had a month in reserve. After it was applied I still cannot get MMS. It was working on my full size sim card. I wish I had just cut it down to fit into my new phone instead of porting my number to a new small sim. They just say to me they cannot guarantee MMS. I told them i can Guarantee I will leave them if they don't fix it.

My mms is finally fixed. I can now receive MMS. I called them repeatedly for a month. Finally one guy finally offered to repush through the updates that they do when you change SIM cards. And that is what fixed it on my net 10 line.
On my other phone which was not able to send MMS on straight talk they offered me no such thing even after I asked for it. Of course they had me double check the APN settings. And lo and behold I had the setting inputted incorrectly. It was hard to catch this mistake because I had HTTPS instead of just HTTP I removed the s and now it is working fine.

I have a moto g with a Straight Talk at&t sim, and I had tried everything to get mms incoming working.
Finally I had them send me another sim card for a different problem.
The Original Sim card had a part number of TF64PSIMC4MB and was a micro sim.
The replacement was a TF64PSIMC4BMB and was a sim or microsim.
I switched over to the new sim, powered off the phone, and installed, and then started getting mms without changing any settings.
I'm using the tfdata settings from the straightalk site.
So it's a problem on their end, not on the phone most of the time.
I recommend asking for a replacement sim card if you can't get mms incoming working.

So, I found that if you remove port 80 from the APN...

... you get a better download speed. I was limited to less than 5Mbps on LTE with the port set to 80. I deleted that, and get a consistent speed of around 20-25Mbps. (Note: This applies to a SIM unlocked ATT hTC One X+, no idea if this works for a Galaxy Nexus)

Try adjusting your APN settings, first before this.
I had problems with my Nexus 5 not sending MMS messages and it turned out the pictures were just to big. I downloaded an app called Go SMS Pro (it's free) and it automatically re-sizes it, and it fixed the issue.

APN settings. Not Receiving MMS

I have been looking everywhere and I can't get a clear answer, or current, on what the newest T-mobile APN settings are.
The one that my phone is using, with my new T-Mobile service, is:

APN: fast.t-mobile.com

APN type: default,mms,supl
APN: protocol: IPv6

When I get an MMS, it just gives me the option to download the msg, but never actually does.
Anyone have any idea?
Thanks

that is my settings also, now if ur using a different rom, from the N9005.. I get that message and its due to the message size, tmobile has 1mb download and overseas rom has 300mb, so if someone is send a pic that is too big, u won't receive it..
I jump around from different roms, and sometimes I get that when the pic is too big...
but if ur on a tmobile rom, u should not get that message..

Thanks for posting your settings.
So I'm glad I left my straight talk service active. After I left my house's wifi connection and drive one hour to work I found out that not one area within 1 hour of my home gets ANY t-mobile service. All I can connect to is AT&T, and with NO data services, since I'm roaming,
I switched to T-Mobile to take advantage of the Wifi Calling feature on my Note 3 N900T (Factory Unlocked). It works awesome, and is just what I need, since all I can get at my home is Verizon, sadly.
Anyhow, I'm going to give up on T-Mobile and go back to Straight Talk AT&T LTE and just live with not being able to Make or Receive calls on my Cell at home. It would be nice if AT&T would support this feature.
Does anyone know of a good WIFI calling service that integrates into your phone well? Without getting another number assigned to your phone, like most of the services (apps) on Google Play do.
Thanks.

[Q] Straighttalk and MMS - help please? ST says it's my phone.

I just got this phone and signed up for StraightTalk, so got a brand new sim card.
It's been over a week, and I still can't get MMS working.
I can send pictures to other Android phones, but not iphones. I can't receive pictures or group texts from anyone.
When someone sends me a pic or group text, I get an error message saying to check my APN settings (using Chomp. Stock just shows a 'downloading' button').
I've checked and triple checked the APN settings and am using the ones ST said to use:
APN: tfdata
Proxy: proxy.mvno.tracfone.com
Port: 80
MMSC: http : //mms-tf.net (no space but wasn't allowed to post the 'link')
MMS Proxy: mms3.tracfone.com
MMS Port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
APN Type: default,mms,supl
I have rooted, and flashed both CyanogenMod and currently on Carbon Rom. It's never worked, even on the stock rom.
I've been on help chat with straight talk 3 times at least. They are telling me it is the programming on my phone that is causing the problem.
Is this possible? That the programming on the phone is bad? That doesn't make sense to me.
They also suggested testing my sim card in another phone, but I don't know anyone that has an unlocked phone to test it in.

Does no one else use straight talk with this phone?
