I'm not sure if it's maybe their service or something wrong. I got my Evo working on metro everything working except I could not receive MMS while connected to wifi which is no big deal. But now I can't send MMS at all. I keep getting generic error or access denied error. Any help would be great.
I was going threw this site for along the same question lol.
I have a HTC Evo 4g that was rooted, then later flashed to Metro pcs (metrodroid v2.2)
While I was on sprint, and even being on sprint with a rooted phone the mms worked great on wifi (I could send, receive pic messages)
Since Ive been on Metropcs I can no longer do this on wifi. Which I wouldn't mind but when Im at home my internet signal sucks so I kinda depend on wifi if someone sends me a mms. {Or just wait until I go out lol} Now long as I have 1x or 3g, I can send and receive all day long.
So my question is, Is it a code or is it a metro thing. I wasnt sure i it was the rom keeping it from working, or was that just a sprint perk, etc. Any help is appreciated
Thanks
Jen
This is a houdini flashed metro thing. I am certain there are far better explanations than mine as to why, but I have to turn my wifi off/on when sending/receiving mms. Kind of used to it now. I haven't seen a branded metro phone that had to do that.

searched the whole site and couldn't find an answer, so here's hoping.
I can't seem to get a straight answer whether this is normal or not. But when I'm on 3g or 4g on my White Evo HW 0003 running Myns I receive MMS perfectly fine.
If I'm on WiFi and receive an MMS it'll say downloading and end up failing, if I kill the wifi connection it downloads the photo right away.
My wife has a stock Evo with no root or rom, and the latest build just like me . 3.30.651.3 and the same happens on hers. Only difference is, while on wifi she'll eventually (after about 20 minutes) receive the picture sent.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
there is no mms over wifi, it will turn on the 3g to download it even with wifi running and wont tell you. if you had mobile networking turned off and only ran wifi you wouldnt even get a text

Really,
So the reason it worked in the past is because it would do it when it wanted? Well that's great
I'd question that one further.
I am only on 1x at home (airave) and WiFi. I've always had a problem getting picture/ MMS while on the airave+WiFi combo until recently. Now I am able to download and receive pictures from WiFi it seems.
Hey guys, my friends evo won't recieve picture messages. She can send them, but never recieves them. She is currently using Go SMS Pro, but even on the stock app/handcent, etc. she still has no luck recieving them. Her phone is non-rooted btw. Any input to help her recieve pictures is greatly appreciated.
This may sound silly, but is she always on WiFi when she is trying to receive them? When I am rooted or was when I wasn't rooted, I could only receive picture messages on 3G for some odd reason. My WiFi would always be a very strong signal and three times faster than my 3G, but it would continually try and never get a thing and then I switched to 3G and boom, there it was.

when she gets a mms it should auto switch the 3G radio on to download the pic then go back to wifi atleast that's how it is on my phone.
something i have noticed is when sending pic messages from home on wifi is not working. If i have wifi on my phone will just say sending for ever. if i turn off wifi and the 4g pops back up then the pic gets sent. i dont thing i have any toggle set. I do not have llama on the phone. So my question is does this phone send mms over wifi or just over the network?
am i the only one with this issue? i did a phone exchange a week ago and I noticed the new phone had the same thing so two phone same experience...any ideas?
How is your signal at home? U can't send mms over WiFi, only data
Mine will send while connected to wifi.
Using tapatalk on my Galaxy 2 to post this!
Mine sends MMS when wifi is on also. I would only have 2 bars and on edge and it still sends in like 20 secs
Im having the EXACT same problem with you. I have the tmobile version model, SGH-T989. I got online with a rep at tmobile for 2 hours trying to resolve this. After a point she said galaxy s 2 doesnt have voice chat over wifi which I didnt understand what that had to do with not being able to download or send attachments via mms. She basically said you have to have data enabled in order to send and receive pictures. I was pissed because my brother's mytouch g is part of my family plan, and he is able to receive attachments while just being connected on wifi. My issue is that I only have edge, not even 3g connection at my home. I don't know what to do. I searched for apps to fix this. But no luck. Anybody else tried fixing this?

Your brother can receive them while on wifi, but not "over" wifi. It has to access data to get mms. You'll see data turn on when on wifi when a pic is coming in.
Hey is is me, or did we use to be able to send MMS while connected to WiFi and in a call?
I swear that I use to be able to send pictures while connected to to my home wireless and being on the phone until EL29 came out. I use that function a lot, but I'm starting to question myself. I've flashed multiple ROMs to make sure I was just going crazy, but it seems that every EL29 ROM I flash the MMS just says sending until I get off the phone. Then after that my 3G icon pops up with the WiFi icon still there, then the picture gets sent. I SWEAR it didn't use to be like that.
I still can send mms when on a call
I am pretty sure that I can as well. Ill have to try tomorrow and let you know for sure.
oh man. geeze. please let me know. I wanna find out what's going on
im not sure about the phone call part,
but even if your on wifi the phone still turns on 3g to authenticate thru sprints picmail servers before sending it
I can answer this one. If your on 3g and on a call, no you can't send mms. When you're on a call it knocks off your 3g to make the call. Now if you're on 4g, then you can send mms because you still have your 4g connection running. Another thing I would like to add is back when the first Evo and Epic came out, sending mms wasn't supported over 4g till Sprint made some changes on how sending mms works on their network. However one thing I haven't tried is to see if I can send mms thru just wifi with 4g and 3g off. It has me a lil curious because I know it didn't back then but they might had changed that when they changed it to allow sending thru 4g. But it could also just work on their networks only so idk..
Edit: I just put my E4gT on hotspot mode and disabled network data on a Sprint iPhone and Evo3D, both failed at sending. Soon as I enabled their data back the messages got sent. So you still can't send mms over wifi it relies on falling back to 3g. The way I recall it is the 3g comes on to send the mms then drops once it sends, but since you're on a call it won't do that.. Hope that helps lol

right, uses 3g/4g to authenticate thru picmail servers, wont do that on wifi itself. no sprint connection=no picturemail.
Connect to wifi and send a picture (while you have a signal) and you will still see the 3g icon come on for a few seconds while it sends.
That's really weird though. I really use to be able to send mms while on the phone on wifi. I swear that changed on EL29. but oh well maybe i'm just tripping out

I think you're trippin. Hey maybe you should Odin back to a previous software to test it out and let us know! Lol
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
OK so I Odin'd back to stock rooted EL29, and guess what?
I CAN send pictures while on the phone and connected to WiFi. the 3G icon doesnt pop up. it just sends. I knew I wasn't trippin. This function seems to have gotten lost among all the modding or something. But yea on a stock ROM, you can hold a conversation and send a picture...you just cant take the picture while in call. but yeah.
Hi, I know we have a couple threads called mms over wifi, but it's not similar to my question.
I tried sending mms over wifi calling and and I'm able to send the mms, but I can't receive them. I'm currently on Jug 5.0 and they have mms over wifi on this rom.
My bf just got a new s2 also and he is able to send mms over wifi calling with the stock rom and before rooting. So I rooted his phone with Jug 5.0 and he's still able to send and receive on wifi calling.
So I figured something's wrong with my phone, and I switched our sim cards. He's still able to send and receive mms on my phone with his sim, but I can't with my sim on his phone.
I wonder if this is something sim/account related. Anyone having this problem, thoughts or ideas as what's going on here?
My first question would be do you have the new sim card required for IMS to work?
Yea I . I can make calls and everything over wifi besides receiving mms.
Hmm, I have the same issues. Usually for me it takes forever for any mms to send or receive over IMS. Most of the time, they never even download unless I'm connected to the network via edge or 3G. That's interesting that it seems to work just fine for your bf though.
Yea it is weird. He doesn't even have to have data turned on to receive mms without wifi

Im having a similar issue. I rooted mine with juggs 4.1 and was unable to send and receive MMS ever since. I knew till 5.0 it was not capable. However they introduced the MMS over wifi fix in 5.0. Which after flashing to that it still doesnt send or receive.
I have tried doing the standard wipe cache, and delvik, No good. I also tried doing a complete wipe, and reinstall clean, still NG.
any one have any ideas how to fix that? everything else works great with the rom.
