I just got the Note 3 (unrooted/stock) on T-Mobile and can't seem to send MMS. Anyone have a solution for this? I downloaded Tweakker and the APN settings it gives me seem to be exactly what it's set to already.

Did you port a number? The port may not be fully complete.

Nope. New number from them.
Solved it!
Original APN name was T-Mobile US LTE
Added new APN
changed name to T-Mobile LTE
apn - same as before
mmsc - same as before
changed apn type to- default,mms
Basically the only difference was taking out "US" from the original. MMS and Internet working fine now.

a few questions:
1) where are you located? Country/state/city/neighborhood (if applicable)
2) You only removed the "US" from the "Name" field?
3) What was populated in the APN Type field before you changed it?
I ask because my mms sendign has been on and off and im trying to narrow down whats up.
thanks!

1) USA/AZ/Phoenix/Ahwatukee
2) Yup!
3) The APN had another abbreviation in there. I cannot recall. Something like "ss"
Are you using a third-party app to send? Like GO SMS Pro? I know that when my MMS was intermittent on my Galaxy Note 2, I had to go into the settings on GO SMS Pro and adjust some settings.
Follow my direction here

I think whats solving the issue is changing the APN Protocol and APN roaming protocol to IPv4/IPv6. Thats what did it for me, everything else is the same to the default APN.

Just in case anyone else has this problem I decided to post it here.
I was having issues with MMS on Jedi X 20 for my T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2 (toltetmo). I would try to send and receive MMS but they wouldn't go through. What helped me was tweaking the APN settings, I was missing:
"mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc" (make sure to add "http;//" at the beginning) from the MMSC section
of my APN settings &
"default,mms,supl" under APN type (also found within APN setting).
You can access your APN settings via the following:
APN Settings
From any Home screen, tap the Menu key.
Tap Settings.
Tap More settings.
Tap Mobile networks.
Tap Access Point Names.

Thanks for this fix. Before this I was to switch to the other apn so that mms worked. I see you used the same values from the other apn. Makes sense.
The other apn has dun at the end of apn type. Whats that for.
Again, thanks for posting this fix.
Thanks buddy.

Hey quick question is anyone else experiencing slow mms sending while on wifi on thir phone? Using the stock app its very slow to send but when using textra it doesnt send at all unless im on the network. Ive reset the network settings and also deleted and readded the apns still working the same. Wifi calling is off.

You have probably 3 items in APN settings and the first one is selected? Do you have any app that can interfere with the native app or some settings?

If you tap on the first APN setting that is selected, then scroll down to "APN protocol: " What is selected in that settings? IPv4 or IPv6 or IPv4/IPv6? Also how old is your sim card and which signal is available(3G, H or LTE) when you try to send/receive mms?
I was having mms issues on T-Mobile and I changed my APN to the same settings as my S6 edge and I haven't had issues since. For some reason, there are separate APNs for mms and calling/internet and I think that was my issue. I've been fine ever since.
You have to add some URL to mms in the APN settings. Google APN settings for T Mobile.
I am able to send regular sms texts no problem but mms pictures that I try sending won't send. Pictures send on other types of messaging apps such as Instagram dm, and I have tried reflashing the cm13 rom.
any help would be appreciated
APN
triple check the APN settings - mms uses data that needs that APN set
Apn
Is this right?

APN
gotta check with your carrier - I use straight talk and none of the included APNs work for me.
no. APN type should include MMS. For some reason CM13 has made a mess of the T-Mobile APN
APN
I will say this - you have no value for port, MMS port, and a few other things that make no sense for having no value in there - I am willing to bet a google search will tell you the proper APN. I actually got the proper APN for myself to use from the ASUS website

This worked perfectly. thank you!
Glad to help. Now do yourself a favor and store that APN somewhere. This phone uses APN settings that are different from anything else I had before. Anytime you change roms or clean flash an update you will need to reset this APN.
Is anyone else having issues with MMS not sending or receiving on T-Mobile? I noticed that the APN isn't editable on this phone.
If I switch to airplane mode and back, it will send or receive the stalled message, but will stop working after that.
Any ideas?

Make up an APN name with just the name and apn filled in with something random. Save that APN. Next go back and edit that APN with the one you need and select it. That's how I fixed my APN.

Thanks I'll give that a try.
It's odd because it was fine ob my OG Pixel XL. I had this issue with the 6P and it was later fixed with an update.
It could just be carrier issues in my area too I guess...
Mine works fine.
You should try Textra. The king of all texting apps
On OG Pixel now. Was really confused when I got it last month. I'm used to making one default APN, but Pixel on Oreo had 5. Is 2 the same? All of my attempts at using advertised Tmob APN broke something. I actually think all 5 APN are needed for VOLTE, WiFi Calling, Messaging over WiFi (IMS), and international roaming. Try the three dots and reset to default.
Also under dialer settings *#*#4636#*#*, phone info, 3 dots, IMS Service Status.....you can check status.
If I deleted those weird APN's it would break IMS.

Did you ever figure out a solution to this? It seems like (from what I read on reddit) that Google Messenger does not like the fact that T-Mobile uses multiple APN settings.
I found if I created a new APN entry with these settings, http://www.4gtricks.com/2017/10/t-mobile-apn-settings-google-pixel-2-XL.html?m=1, that solved the MMS issue. But every time the phone is restarted or the radio toggled with airplane mode, the phone sets itself back to the default APN setting that cannot be edited. That's incredibly annoying.
I then found (from this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/77c1dj/android_tethering_and_apn_carrier_config/) that if I set the MVNO type in the APN I created to "GID" that the default T-Mobile settings disappeared and only my custom APN was there, so I didn't have it resetting with every restart.
But I'm worried based on what others said here that this may break VOLTE or wifi calling or cause issues with roaming on T-Mobile (if it thinks I'm an MVNO customers). So I'd rather just be able to edit the default APN. Even with root, I can't seem to find any posts about how to do this.
[Edit, I seem to have found a solution (working so far), which I explain here: https://productforums.google.com/d/msg/phone-by-google/RNDSr05hUQ4/GPbYF3GYAgAJ.]

Thanks for this. Yes, I'm still having problems. I was in a week long conversation with T-Mobile about it and they couldn't figure it out either. At one point they suggested a signal booster (???) The odd part is that it only happens when I'm at work. It works fine everywhere else. The bad part is I get most of my MMS when I'm working...
The only theory I have is that at work we have a series of access points around campus with the same SSID instead of a mesh network. Maybe MMS gets screwed up somehow when jumping across access points.
I will give your suggestion a try and see if it helps.
I found that my mms didn't work because of my router. I have a netduma router and mms doesn't work when I have turbo mode turned on. I have no idea what turbo mode changes about the network but whatever it does, it screws with mms somehow. Maybe your work network does something similar to netduma's turbo mode.

In the Google Product Forums link I provide there are some other people saying that connecting to certain wifi access points seemed to interfere with their ability to send/recieve MMS. At least one person said it affected MMS even after they disconnected from that access point. And I think some people in that thread, if you read through it, found some solutions. For me, as I explain, also in that thread, my problem did not have to do with wifi and I resolved it by making some changes to my APN settings.
MMS Fix
I have come up with a simple fix! I am fortunate to have access to two Pixel 2s (one XL and one not) and will try this with my wife's (UPDATE: IT WORKS!), but here's the story:
Situation
My wife and I work for the same company and she mainly uses MMS and I don't, but it is happening to both of us after upgrading to Pixel 2s. She has the Pixel 2 and I have the XL. I have done a test where I added my Google Voice number and my wife's number in a group message and tested all sorts of combination of things. Our phone's MMS works on the house Wi-Fi and the mobile network, but not on our work Wi-Fi. I have reset network settings and APN settings back to default, no change. Looking at the APN settings, I realized the two T-Mobile MMS listings have the APN listed as "TMUS," whereas the default APN is listed as "fast.t-mobile.com." Since "TMUS" is not a valid domain name, I changed the first T-Mobile MMS APN to fast.t-mobile.com and MMS started working on Wi-Fi. I reset my APN settings back to default and it stopped working on my work's Wi-Fi again. I thought that I should leave the default APNs alone, just in case and decided to create a third T-Mobile MMS APN with fast.t-mobile.com as the APN. This third T-Mobile MMS APN somehow allows MMSs to work on the company's Wi-Fi.
Fix
Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Mobile network > Access Point Names.
Tap on the 3 dot menu at the upper-right and select "Reset to default."
Create a new APN with the following settings:
Name: T-Mobile MMS
APN: fast.t-mobile.com
Proxy, Port, Username, Password, and Server: Not Set
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc (When typing this in, make sure auto correct doesn't change anything since URLs are case sensitive!)
MMS Proxy and MMS Port: Not Set
MCC: 310 (Should already be set)
MNC: 260 (Should already be set)
APN Type: mms
APN Protocol: IPv6
APN Roaming Protocol: IPv4
Bearer: Unspecified
MVNO Type: None
MVNO Value: Not Set
Tap on the 3 dot menu and select "Save."
Reboot your phone for good measure (may not be necessary) and open Android Messages.
Send a MMS or group MMS on and off the Wi-Fi network you are having issues on to see if it sends. If you have several queued up messages that haven't sent, you may need to tap to resend them and they may become out of order on the recipient's end.
Conclusions
The main thing to note about this is that it is the same as the other T-Mobile MMS APN, but has TMUS replaced with fast.t-mobile.com. If you look at the actual default fast.t-mobile.com APN, you'll notice that "mms" isn't listed among the others in APN Type. I feel, if I could edit that default fast.t-mobile.com APN, the problem would be fixed by adding ",mms" at the end. I assume one could duplicate everything in the default one and add it that way, but I wanted to provide the simplest, non-invasive fix possible that would not result in any future problems. When the phone/Google Messages consults the APNs, I assume it goes through each one to attempt to find one with MMS in the APN type and then attempts to contact the APN via its domain name, but fails since TMUS is not valid. I am not sure why it doesn't go ahead, verifies a working data connection, and then sends the MMS using http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc as it seems to do fine on other Wi-Fi networks. I do not know what makes my company's Wi-Fi different aside from it using EAP authentication and the fact that this problem didn't occur on my wife's previous phone (T-Mo Galaxy S7). I had the 2016 Pixel for a while, but I use Google Voice and would not normally notice the MMS issues. I need to implement this on my wife's phone and if I do not update this post, you should assume it worked (I may just forget to come back).
UPDATE: It works! I followed my own instructions and it works on my wife's Pixel 2 too!
If anyone has a good theory as to wth is going on, please contribute!

That did the trick for me using Textra. I had been using the setting on there to turn off WiFi when I sent or received MMS, but I don't have to do that anymore.
I had the same problem, a simple reset the default apn and restart the phone worked, no need to add anything.

Great! As I mentioned, I had done the same to both phones (actually, even got a different SIM for her phone). Something about being connected to our work's Wi-Fi caused the phones to throw their hands up in the air and refuse to work when no MMS APN with a FQDN was present.
