mms over wifi - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

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.

anyone can receive/send MMS while WIFI on?

im in nyc currently running OMJ 2.2 v3.0 rom with Stock kernel. But my issue has been happening since before I rooted my evo. The problem is I cant receive MMS during wifi is switched on then have to switch wifi off and wait about 20 minutes in order for the mms to download so I can view it. I called tier1 and 2 and tier 1 just made me factory reset my phone or clear cache on the mms app in settings which fixes it for about 2 minutes before I turn wifi on again. Tier 2 told me that theres no way I can receive and send mms while wifi is on so there goes my issue...I never had this issue with my apache, mogul, diamond, tp, tp2, BB bold.
The error msg I get is a transient error failure...please can anyone test their device and turn wifi on and try to receive and send MMS and let me know if its successful so I can send this to sprint b/c its totally oblivious I have to turn wifi off and wait 20 minutes and then have my mms download w/o errors.
Thanks in advance
No one?

My texts go through with WiFi on.....no problems. I probably send 50 texts a day while connected to WiFi; if not more.
Currently MMS uses your data only. You will notice that when sending MMS your 1x/3G icon shows up next to your wifi icon.

no the 3g symbol doesnt show up next to the wifi signal when trying to send/receive mms...
My 3g icon pops up when sending/receiving MMS when I have wifi on.
Could be your ROM. Have you tried different Roms?
No problem here getting or sending mms texts, email, even browsing the web on the phone while tethered or wireless.
Fresh ROM

MMS over WiFi

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.

[Q]sending mms via WiFi ?

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.

MMS stopped working when Wifi is on

I'm on a touchwiz based rom and I've always been able to send and receive MMS since my wifi is always on when I'm at home. However last night I received a picture and it didn't download. I tried sending one to myself and it kept spinning for a while and eventually failed. I do have LTE and I'm only able to send and receive MMS when wifi is off and data is on.
I clean flashed another TW based rom and tried sending one right after it booted and it didn't work. I'm not sure what's going on and Sprint chat person wasn't able to help either. What could be the problem? I'm using the stock messaging app btw. Thanks!
I have this same issue and it occurs with both stock messaging and hangouts. I have been told its because of my AIRRAVE unit. I have a AIR RAVE in my house to help with signal problems but AIRRAVE is not compatible with new Sprint network and any SPARK devices.

T-Mobile update messed up MMS/Group Messaging? Something unique to our model?

Hi folks,
I posted in the main G3 forum, here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/help/mm-update-messaging-mms-doesnt-wifi-t3577069
So sorry to cross post, but on reflection I think this may be something specific to T-Mobile's implementation of the Marshmallow update on our phones due to T-mobile wifi calling.
Basically, when I'm on the cell network, but connected to a WIFI access point, and can receive cellular calls and SMS just fine, MMS messaging doesn't work, which includes group messaging. Messages just sit there "sending." Lots of reports of similar phenomena around, no real solution. Textra has a "T-Mobile wifi calling fix" that works for me, even though my wifi calling is switched off (I'm using the phone on ATT network). But I want to go back to Google Messages.
It seems the phone doesn't know how to use the cellular data in cases where there is a protocol-driven reason not to use wifi, in the case where the phone is connected to wifi. Basically, it's failing to drop back to cellular.
Any ideas here? I'll try anything!
Thanks
I have noticed this as well. I have not found a work around to send MMS over Wi-Fi calling.
