I saw some other threads on this but no fixes.
Is there a fix?
Are you manually disabling your mobile data when on WiFi? When its auto-disabled as WiFi comes on, it should re-enable long enough to send MMS unless there's a bug.
No, definitely not disabling mobile data. I couldn't on Android Revolution and now can't on the stock rooted IMM76K.
That's really odd. The mobile data should kick on, send your mms,then go back to wifi. That's how mine does it.
Mine sends fine... My mobile data never even shows kicking in

Mine sends fine as well over WiFi.

Ok so I flashed the deodexed (Whitehawkx version) stock rooted T-Mobile update with wificalling. I was super excited for it to be released blah, blah, blah then I went to send an mms. No go. Just hung. So I figured it must be because I'm on a deodexed rooted rom. I asked friend (thanks doc) who had just updated using the T-Mobile method to tey sending an mms while on wificalling. No dice. I'm wondering how many of us have this problem. It seems to be a T-Mobile issue, but I'm no dev. Just a big fan.
Thanks

It seems to work for me but it takes forever to send the images/media - unless the phone finally decided to use edge to sent the message while still connected to wifi calling. Though, I assumed once it's connected to wifi calling, it only uses wifi. Can anyone confirm this?

I can't answer that for sure. Hmm maybe I don't give it enough time, for me and doc it doesn't send until right after we disconnect from wifi. Thanks for the feedback.

This is a problem with the Wifi calling feature. It disables MMS and does this on multiple phones. I had this same problem on my Mytouch 4g as well.
There is a response from a Tmobile employee on the Tmobile support boards for wifi calling and the G2 which says http://support.t-mobile.com/message/4487.
This is normal. WiFi Calling registers through your wifi and disables the mobile networks to do so. Some T-Mobile apps have the ability to temporarily force a GPRS connection to verify you. The only away to avoid this is to disable or turn off WiFi Calling.
This is also why calls drop when leaving your wifi network's signal range. It needs to disconnect and re-register on the T-Mobile network.

i have a gs2 in one hand and a mt4g in the other. wifi calling on on both. the gs2 sends instantly without ever connecting to data, the mt4g connects to data and takes ~10 seconds to send. maybe depends on things like your router or something.

Did you update your baseband to the most recent one. That could be a problem.

You need to remember that the firewall settings are different from place to place. As an example I use a Cisco router at home and WiFi calling will connect but I could not hear the person on the other end initially. I had to look at what the router was doing, figure out what the firewall was blocking and unblock it.
It's likely the firewall at your work is letting some, but not all of the necessary traffic through. You could ask the IT guys if they can look and see what their firewall is blocking from your phone and ask them if they'll unblock it... They may or may not want to help and they may use the information to completely block your phone from being able to connect to the tmobile servers on the other side.
first i got to send my apologies to kootz (sp?) because i thought it was only doing it on their rom when i just happened to be i was on their rom the couple times it has happened. i thought cm10 didnt do it because immediately i would flash that and data was back. it happened today while running cm10. suddenly i have no data connection i can talk and text but no data. even after reboot no data no i can connect to wifi. what i did this time was go to titanium back up i erased the data for "input devices 4.1.1 blh blah blah" and data kicked back on.......anyone else having this issue???? i don't know if it's doing it on the stock rom as i have not been on it for quite some time.......anyone else??
even when i toggle data off and on it still stays off but the phone acts like data is off only thing that can be done is talk and text.
You can actually confirm that you have mobile network connectivity period?
As in, you're sure you can talk?
When I lose data from LTE -> 4G/HSPA+ ... then I lose everything. It looks like I can call, I have full bars, albeit no logo, but I can't actually place a call. I get the 'Emergency Calls Only' message, OR 'No Network Found' depending on Rom.
Either way, no solution....yet.
Also, I'm on Bell Network, currently running Ariel 2.08 Stock. (ATT-based I believe).

I have the exact same issue with my Telus SGS3. Even when running on stock ICS, even before rooting, I had the issue as mentioned above. I sent it out for repairs under warranty and Samsung claimed it not to have any faults and they just reflashed and sent it back claiming it passed all tests. I asked Telus to send it back again because it came back with it stuck on the Samsung logo. There has to be a solution to this or Samsung should at least fix it.

I still can talk and text. I have talked and text. Once I wipe data of that file data kicks back on......
Beside the bars there us nothing there. I have made calls and got texts but I have no data. I have tried putting into airplane mode and off and I have tried toggling mobile data......

Was having the same issue and solution (use HTC's native messaging app). I just tried the fix that nycebo suggested and it worked. BUT, sending a pic was pretty slow. So slow that I thought it was going to fail (same symptom as when it was failing to send). Eventually it went thru and I'm also able to receive pics.
Hopefully, this resolves group messaging which is basically MMS as well.

As I mentioned earlier, group texts are handled as MMS's. Last night the M8 was put to the test. Had an issue come where the wi-fi was partially to blame. Group text consisted of 6 people with a sprinkling of pics attached. Some of their texts and pics were getting thru while some weren't. I was on wi-fi and there is a 4-5 bar LTE signal in my area. Wi-fi calling is set to cellular preferred. Not only did some of the texts not come thru but the ones that didn't were also separated out from the group thread. I hit the download link and nothing. No error message. Nothing. Just went back to "Download message". Granted this was on the locked APN. I switched to the custom APN. Still nothing.
This worked before so I try again. I turn off the wi-fi. BAM. All the texts of the separated out people start coming thru AND they get put back into the thread.
So yes, the culprit is wi-fi but I've had wi-fi on on my Note 3 and this was never an issue. Also, in the middle of the group texts, I swap the sim into my Nexus 5 using Hangouts with wi-fi enabled and there was no problem there.
I think the root cause is the way HTC's Android implementation is handling the switching between wi-fi and the carrier network. Seems to me the message should try sending via wi-fi and if that doesn't work use carrier network. I don't know enough about the protocol to say this is for sure the case but that seems to be a logical explanation.

Curious if this is still a problem.
I am getting a GPE this week, but I need to be on wifi only at work all day and get MMS/group MMS
GPE doesnt have the option to use stock messaging (I assume Hangouts only, which I have seen has known issues MMS via wifi)
Will I be able to get MMS/group messaging on wifi only (wifi calling enabled) ?
Use Textra until Hangouts gets this working ?
Hello, recently my phone decided it no longer wanted to connect to wifi, i did eventually fix that (restarted my router/modem) however, now i have no internet, i can access the local network fine (i've tested this by running xamp on my pc, and accessing it from my phone) but the actualy internet won't work, so i can't access google or any other website, and i just can't figure out why

Go into networks, access points... Aka APN, and change the settings. E correct settings should be in q and a or general forum... Based on what you saying.. Its my guess. Could be wrong tho.

but it shouldn't always be lit up like that. it should grey out after awhile.
Unfortunately you have to turn off mobile data. Just called Verizon about this.
It use to be greyed out, but now it's white as if it's on. Could be an oversight when they created the update. When I'm connected to wifi, it is rarely active.
Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk
I believe it stays active for the advanced calling option. Even if you don't enroll in the option it keeps the 4G active by default to "watch" for calls. Just a way for the vzw devs to be lazy by leaving it "active" all the time instead of being triggered by opting in to the advanced option
