SMS Not working while data on.

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

Why can't I send a mms message over 3G?

Hello everybody I been having trouble sending mms over 3g. 4g and wifi work perfectly fine but 3g doesn't send for me. Could somebody test this out first before posting your opinion thanks. I've tried Calkium's 1.6, Venuim's latest ROM version 0.1.1, cyanogen mod 9 alpha 4, and paranoid Android 1.3. Pretty much any ROM I have tried.
If I helped you out in any way please thank me. Thanks.

Which Rom? More details always helps those trying to help you at the other end
Edit: Works for me, it might be Sprint's network at the time? Try GoSMSPro if you are using CM9, AOKP or MIUI, I even use it with TW roms

It does on our phone! I'm not sure if it's a Samsung thing but the E4GT does send mms on wifi. However if I disable the stock messaging app thru Handcent it would no longer work on wifi or 4g and sticks to 3g only..

Incorrect. MMS is only sent over 1x/3g in the stock messaging app. If you are in wifi or 4g it will activate 3g to send/receive the mms. Third party messaging apps have been known to work over wifi though.

Sorry but I'm not incorrect. My phone sends mms on wifi and 4g.. I can disable my 3g and send a mms thru 4g or wifi with no issue. I've tested this plenty of times and it works. It's a feature that kicked in on el29. Back in the previous builds it worked the way u mentioned but not anymore.. At least not on my phone.

I really doubt you're sending MMS over wifi or 4G, as MMS only travels over the 3G network and in some cases the 1x network.
Download Go SMS Pro, and in the MMS settings area, enter your carriers MMS apn and see if you can send.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
