For SMS over t-mobile wifi calling works great. MMS on ICS/JB roms seems to have issues but GB ROMS it worked the last time I tried it. I would also note that when I was in Europe with WIFI only (no roaming on my phone), that MMS messages wouldn't go, but SMS did.
Also if you use T-Mobile WIFI Calling make sure you signup for the **free** add on. If you don't when you use WIFI Calling, it counts against your minutes when calling someone.
Thanks for the info. I'm using Andromadus Mimicry v1.3.2. So maybe that's the problem?

Works fine for me. I have very poor coverage at home, wifi-calling is the main reason I'm not running the JB ROM full time.
Been using Mimicry as my DD for a couple months. T-Mobile's wifi-calling sometimes flakes and doesn't want to connect, but if it says it's connected SMS is fine. Not sure about MMS.
Its been confirmed that mms over tmo wifi calling doesn't work on ics by edkeys. But you can see when you receive an mms and at that point you can switch to cell data and just get it. And then switch back to wifi calling

I'm using 1.3.2 as well, but you have to be using the 26.13.04.19 radio in order for the T-Mobile wifi calling app to work. Calling and SMS works, MMS doesn't.
PS: Installing the Google Now zip will break wifi calling (ie: it'll be active, but will fail to receive/send)
I haven't noticed the Google now error ill have to test

When I tested, the icon showing wifi calling enabled looked fine and all, and wifi bars would show with data bars off just like normal. However when you goto send an sMS for example it would immediately fail as if it were relying on the data connectivity. Something in the Google Now Package (tried v5 and v6) breaks it. But if you were to re-flash edkey's wifi calling after Google Now it seems to work.
I guess the reason I never noticed was because when I did it I flashed mimicry then google now and wifi calling. That only happened because when I upgraded to the new mimicry I noticed wifi calling missing so that's why I added it last. I guess I just got lucky

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.

ok, so ive noticed that when on TW, you can send and recieve MMS on wifi (which is great for me because of not so good 3g speeds) but on CM9 you cant. Is there a way to make it work on CM9? or is this only for TW? OR just explain whats going on here, thanks.

As far as I know you need a phone signal for mms...if you want to use wifi u need to use something like Google voice for texting.

I am familiar with that app, but im talking about receiving/sending MMS from and to your number, in the stock app, handcent, or anything similar.
I have no problem sending and receiving mms on cm9 w/ wifi on. The phone still sends it via 3g, it just connects to the network real quick and then disconnects.

thats the problem, on TW it would use wifi, not 3g. its great for me because where i live, data speeds arent that great |not complaining|. now, id like to do that on CM9
Mms through wifi only works thru Samsung's stock messaging app. I know exactly what OP means. You can uncheck 3g and 4g and still mms go thru just on wifi. I wondered why at one point my epic stopped doing this so I played with some settings and figured out that handcent was the culprit. Once I stopped handcent from disabling the stock app mms over wifi worked again. So to OP the reason why it don't work on cm9 is bcuz stock messaging app is removed or if you're on stock then you probably have a third party SMS app with the disable stock setting on.
Edit: This also applies to 4g. With the stock app you can send thru 4g too. If you disable or remove it, sending thru 4g or wifi won't work and stick to 3g only.

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.

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.

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.
Hi all,
I've had this issue for the entire time I've had my GS3 - on stock or custom roms. Essentially, in order for me to send or receive an MMS message, my wifi has to be off (disconnected) and I have to have data on.
If my wifi is connected and I have mobile data toggled on, mms still doesn't work. On prior phones it would briefly enable 3G to send/receive the MMS, but on the GS3, I have to fully toggle off wifi and make sure 1x/3G is on to MMS.
Any solutions to this? Is there a setting that I'm missing here?
Thanks!
What rom are you on? Because as long as data is on it will work regardless of whether wifi is on or not. I assume from your issue that you are on an aosp rom?

Yes.. id try wiping wiping...then flash a freshly downloaded rom.....i have tried lots of kernals...roms....and i always use wifi here in my house..calls and messages work just fine.... i WILL SAY THIS.. back when i was using froyo.. there was an option to disable data when wifi was in use but i have never seen that on the s3 or any other roms after froyo..
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers ap
Of course you can toggle data off when on wifi. Any phone should be able to do this. I know for a fact the S3 you can togle data off when on Wi-Fi. But regardless as long as your data is on you should be able to send and receive MMS at any time regardless if wifi is on or not.
Now if your using an aosp rom you could have an issue handling the exchange between wifi and data. There is no aosp rom for our device so everything is built on leaks and ports and patched together. So they do have some issues handling the exchange.

MSG & Chubbz v5.0.2
When both Data & Wifi are toggled on (and Wifi is connected), MMS won't send/receive. If Wifi is off and Data is On, then it's fine. It's been this way on both roms I've ever run on my GS3; the current one (listed above & in my sig) and Freeza's GalaxyS Fre3.
Well that has to be a rom issue because stock rom and almost every TW rom will do this no problems. Mine works perfectly on the stock TW rom and on TPR. Unless you have some type of app like juicedefender or something like that which is shutting down your data and it will never recognize the messaging app trying to toggle the data to send an MMS because it happens in a split second.

I just quit running that ROM for the longest time, never once had this problem.
EDIT-I forgot to mention I was using the AOSP messaging app for TouchWiz-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1950443. I would make a backup before you try this, because it replaces the stock messaging app.
Hey all, I'm looking to try out some 3rd party sms apps. Not in love with the stock one and Hangouts can't send/receive MMS when I'm connected to wifi.
Anybody know of any SMS apps that MMS works while connected to WIFI like the stock app?
(posting this in general rather than Q&A in case others are looking for the same thing in the future).
Thanks all
Are you asking for an app that sends MMS via WiFi? I don't think that's possible. When I'm connected to WiFi on stock app it uses 4g to send MMS and I have wifi calling on too.

I think I confused myself lol. Okay, so normally my WiFi calling is set to cellular preferred so most of the time I have cell signal when connected to WiFi. When I'm on WiFi and send a MMS the 4g logo pops up so it never sends MMS on WiFi or at least not when I have a signal. Was op trying to ask for an app that'll send MMS over WiFi calling when he has no cell signal? Also, I think WiFi calling can send regular SMS when there's no cell signal. Someone correct me if I'm wrong on that one.

when youre connected to wifi calling your signal bars should be empty with an x signifying you have no mobile radio. wifi calling handles calls/sms/mms. and any 3rd party messaging app other than hangouts should also work the same way since they actually use the stock messaging app still.

HD means HD calling. T-Mo has it in places and it supposedly makes call quality much better. I havent seen it here yet so I cant comment but Ive read tech site reviews that say its legit. I think Sprint has it too.
According to the T-Mo website HD calls are nationwide now. If thats the case and we have it here, it sucks. Call quality is awful here, echoes and random noise during calls.
