Hey XDA, I've had the nexus now for probably 2 months and I love it, I'm running aokp m4 and Franco's m2. I haven't had and problems except for one. The problem is.. I can't send mms messages when wifi is enabled if I go out and I'm just on the carriers network it sends fine but when I'm at home with wifi as the main access point and the carriers network in the background I can send texts but cannot get or send mms

thats wierd i noticed the same thing too yesterday, i am on AOKP b31
data and wifi and cell all work fine. when i want to send a mms it tells me that it isnt activated in my network!?!?!
Yeah its so weird, just to get this straight , wifi and the network are enabled at the same time so whenever I have to send a pic or something I have to disable wofi
. Shouldn't the carrier run in the background for things like mms and just take over?

This is my problem for almost a week. I can only send sms if i turn off my data package or if im conected to wifi. When im using my phone's data package (4G) i cant send sms. MMS works fine always. Problem is i cant be conected to wifi all the time or turnining off/on my data to use sms.
It happens on GB or ICS. I also returned to stock via odin and the problem is still there. I tested my sim on my other phone and everything works perfect. I can send sms no matter if my 4G shows on. But not in this phone. So it seems is not SIM related. I called tmobile and after endless steps and instructions i reboot my phone. It sent only 1 sms and second try failed...until now. I checked my Message Center number and its correct. When sms fails and i look into status it shows error code 1. Can somebody please help me???? I been using SEARCH...for a week....tried everythig i found Now...i need to ask for ur expertise.....thanks a lot in advance.

Hmmmmm i have no idea why this is lol. Have you tried using other sms apps like gosms and handcent?
For go sms you need to check the box that says your stock sms is uninstalled. Handcent uses their own service instead of stock's. Try those two out

Right now companies cant send sms while is connected to 4g ,
It is by nature that the modem to turn the 4g radio off , send the sms and turn it back up, u dont see it cuz it happends in a seconds. Or something like that

Thanks guys. I just got a new one fron warranty. It sounds kinda interesting that procedure about 4g and sms.

I am running a T-Mobile sim in my locked gs2. Running dark side gb, have no issues, data works, getting 11mb down, mms works, able to send and receive pics.
The moment I put dark side ics on, no data, no mms abilities. Yes apn is set correct.
Is anyone want the straight talk, using a T-Mobile sim getting data and mms while using ics?.
I'm curious, as my wife's g2x gets no data and mms using ics as well.

Same Problem Here
I have the TMO version unlocked and running darkside:evo 2 beta 3 and all works except sending a text or mms but i can receive them. Plus my google voice is working fine. Hope someone can figure this out.
Why can't I receive or send mms when WiFi is connected. I didn't have this issue on sprint. It sucks cause I have to turn off WiFi and then it has to connect to edge then eventually on 4g before i can get or send my mms quicker. I have to use WiFi a lot on this device so I don't go over my cap so I need to have WiFi on at home and work. Very frustrating.

This happens on and off on my Amaze. I just think it doesnt work that well in general with tmo
My wife can't download mms on WiFi with at&t
I have the same problem with Verizon.
MMS are the texts with data right? Yeah I noticed I can't send with just wifi.
Normal text are fine.
AT&T btw for the XDA app users.
Edit: I noticed you said at all when I reread it. I can send em fine with wifi enabled but I have to have mobile network enabled as well.
Maybe this is more common than i thought.
MultiMediaMessages needs your data access to send. WiFi will not work.
Happened on my cousin's AT&T galaxy s ii when he didn't enable data

You youre right that it does need data but I think what its supposed to do is switch to mobile network real quick and send/receive then revert back to wifi. The issue is its not doing this on my Tmobile s3.
Edit: Ran a few more test. Had my gf send me 2 mms while I was on wifi and I was able to recieve 1. But other I couldnt receive. It may have something to do with my data connection as I get 50% edge. I have a feeling that when its on edge while wifi is on that it cant DL the mms but on 4g while wifi is on it will work. I need to run a test outdoor where I get full 4g but still connect to wifi.
Same issue here, on simple mobile, I will assume is GS3 MMS bug and when you do receive MMS, it's pretty small
Just use gmail.
People really need to start using email in lieu of mms, the pictures don't get distorted, it sends/receives faster, handles much larger files
I don't know why people even use mms anymore. Everything should be done in email.

Life is about choices, you like email and others prefer MMS, we are using GS3 & others prefer what they like. Email, MMS, WhatsApp, ChatOn etc is matter of preference

Yes, you're right. Life is about choices.
Just like people can "choose" to drive 3,000 miles instead of taking a flight. Or they can "choose" to ship via snail mail instead of UPS.
Doesn't mean their choices and/or preferences aren't ineffective or moronic, or that people want to hear them whine about the "choices" they make.
Aside from that, it doesn't look like it's a "choice" on Wifi. So you can choose to send an email and be done with it, or choose to whine and stomp your feet on xda which has virtually no effect on the situation other than rounding up other whiners.
It's like people complaining about using Blu-Ray and complaining they can't stream VHS to their phone
You can send and receive mms on wifi. I have done it. No data.

Nope. Stock rooted. I will tell you that there are times when it won't send our receive mms or sms, but if I restart it works again. It never works 100%.

So, for some reason the GNex has to be connected to 3G to send or to receive MMS messages. When I'm connected to Wi-Fi, it won't automatically download, or even notify me of, an MMS message. I've had many people yell at me for not answering their messages when they send me a picture message, but really the phone just doesn't ring for them....
On my HTC Rezound, the phone would automatically turn on 3G to download the MMS, and it would notify me of the messages. Is there any way to make the Nexus do that?
I'm on CM10 (not that I would expect that to make any real difference)

I ask a question almost same as yours before and the answer i get was. U just need to enable ur data connection to receive MMS. Apparently, the nexus is not so smart to handle a simple task as sending/receiving MMS data automatically...

It is actually your provider restricting access to their MMS servers from their network only. It has nothing to do with Android or the Galaxy Nexus.
Also, if you're on WiFi what's the harm in leaving data enabled?

Nah...i mean samsung. I used two xperia phones before and never had to enable data to handle MMS. It just automatically send/receive it,like the era before smartphones...

My nexus turns on 3g automatically and downloads the MMS while I'm still connected to wifi. I see it happen daily. The gsm one has always done this.
Its weird I can send MMS(pics) while on WiFi but sounds or video won't send until I'm on 3g or 2g

My phone is less lazy. It will do MMS about 60% of the time while I'm on wifi! Been that way since 4.0.2

I can't figure this out.
I can not send or reciece mms while on edge network. I have full internet that works on edge, i can browse, i can use gmail, i can do everything except send or recieve mms picture messages. They just sit and spin on "sending" Ive used stock texting client, handcent and go sms.
On 3g/hspa everything is fine.
I go to work and my building doesnt let me get 3g, just edge and i cant use mms. Also, im on vacation right now and i get 4 bars of edge service and edge data, but cant use pictures in mms.
I have a galaxy nexus with purity rom and fancy kernal on t-mobile unlimited data plan.
Help please, i can't find any answers that work on the googles.
Nobody else had had this problem?
