mms trouble - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

anyone else having probs sending mms pics after the ICS update?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app

Yea I do with WiFi turned on, connected or not. One guy reported a fix that worked for him but not for me. Connect to WiFi send a picture through Gmail to that same Gmail. Once you receive it should be able to send and receive mms over WiFi. Like I said didn't work for me on aokp, don't know about stock ics.
android does

[Q]Not able to send or receive MMS on KL1 through WiFi calling?

Anyone else having issues sending and receiving MMS messages while connected through WiFi calling on the KL1 update? This always worked with WiFi calling on other devices.
Its hit or miss. At times mms will send when wifi calling. Other times it doesnt. Wifi calling has been very buggy for me in general

Thanks! Just wanted to make sure it wasn't just me or a limitation of the new WiFi calling app. I have not had it work at all yet, but I will keep trying.
I was using mms to send pics of the fantasy draft snuff they were really quick when I usually don't have service i'm my house

Same prob here. If you turn wi fi off then mms will go through

A Problem with MMS

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

Any help on this?

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?

T-mobile can't receive or send mms on WiFi

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%.

Sending receiving mms over WiFi

Is there anyway to send receive mms over WiFi? I use go sms and i think the app only sends over cell. Wondering if it's the app or Rom. Any help would be great

Tmobile only allows sms/mms to send over their network. Ive heard in the past that either mods or some 3rd party apps can accomplish sending over wifi, but im not sure.

Really? I did not know that. I dont use wifi calling and when its on it always seemed to give me problems with messaging. I'd just turn it off an move on so I coulda been easily missing something.
Still, good to know how its supposed to work! Thanks!

On my g2x it never worked over WiFi with Wi-Fi calling and go sms. Still looking for definitive answer. It's a feature that would really make my life easier

mms thru wifi and gosms dont mix. try handcent instead. works great, but you have to be on wifi calling for it to work

Makes me wonder if itd be possible to force it to activate wifi calling and send the message? Kind of like its supposed to do now with data. Gonna have to look into that.
Add it to my list!

I think Wi-Fi calling makes it work like mentioned above. But, at the same time, I know I had issues with doing it at one point with this phone.

Go SMS will send/receive mms when connected to Wi-Fi but not if you have Wi-Fi calling also on. Not sure there's a way around this. However the stock messaging app works on wifi even with Wi-Fi calling on. But even with the issue I still prefer to use go SMS pro over stock or handcent mainly due to it's iPhone mms group chat capabilities. Handscent seems to have a lot of issues with this feature.

Yeah thats annnoying as hell! Had that problem on my old mt3gs but tmobile fixed it pretty quick with an update. I thought it had been fixed but apparently theyve only fixed the bug where mms wouldnt send at all if wifi was active. Pretty sure there's a fix but I haven't found it yet.

Other solution
you could always use textplus instead. its an app that lets u send and recieve free texts and mms over a data network or wifi. it even gives u a number to match your area code. just a suggestion

Before the H2 update mms didn't really work over wifi calling. One of the first things I noticed when I got the phone. Since the H2 update dropped I haven't had any issues

Bone stock should be able to send/receive mms over wifi calling. If you are using a ROM I have no idea, you'll have to reach out to the developer of your ROM. If you have done the mods to enable group mms, you'll have to revert back to your stock SecMms.apk to send/receive via wifi calling then switch back to your modded SecMms.apk. Unless someone has made a fix but I haven't been able to find any yet.

MMS over WiFi Calling

Hi,
I am running ICS 4.0.4...using stock messaging or Go SMS.
Is there any way to fix the MMS over WiFi calling issue? It's awful. Even though group SMS works within Go SMS, it fails if I'm on WiFi calling, and my friends hate using GroupMe. Are there any APN settings I can change? a different MMS.apk app I can use?
I am rooted FYI.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Craig
Try Samsung's fix. Turn Wi-Fi on. Open gmail and send an email to yourself and attach a pic using the acct registered to for your phone. Once you get that, try sending an mms to yourself. You should get it fairly quickly.

Yes it's a permanent fix. 2nd level tech support at tmo told me about this a few months ago and its worked for me and my wife's phone several times when I've flashed a new Rom that mms over Wi-Fi hasn't worked.

Didn't work for me unfortunately..
This doesnt work. Mines just switches to 4g to send it then back to wifi..
Well sorry guys. It's supposed to be the fix from Samsung and its worked for me numerous times.

I believe the issue with GOSMS themselves been testing out MMS over wifi, so far i found it works fine with the stock MMS app and Handcent SMS. Going to try some other apps and see if they work.
Seems i may go back to HandcentSMS until GOSMS fixes it.
I have tried that technique but it failed.....

Thats because it doesnt work. Thats why these devs made it work with the stock DEODEX version or any other custom roms.. I want to see a video from the person that has "achieve" this. Because all I get is when on WIFI, and I send a MMS, 4G comes on real quick to send it and receive it then it switches off.

Im the one who originally posted the Samsung fix several months ago. I have used it after MMS over wifi not working on several ROMS after initial flash, including my current ROM Beastmade (odexed).
Here is your requested video. I sent an MMS to myself, and you can see 4G never turns on. Only wifi uploads/downloads.
Here you go!
MMS only works over data! If on wifi calling it will switch over to data to send and if data is off it will not send.

That's incorrect! If you watch the video i posted 4g never turns on. Also, i just tried it after turning data off and it went thru. If you'd like a friendly $100 PayPal wager I'd be happy to post a video showing it
