Hey guys I'm on darthstalker v8 ROM do you guys know if TouchWiz requires mobile data just send or receive picture messages?

Pretty sure you need mobile data on any phone to receive or send picture messages

It seems like it. I was never able to get that to work while on wifi-calling only - although there are other services you could use to accomplish the same goal.

SMS and MMS are always sent over the cell connection.
I get SMS/MMS over WiFi calling... I have 0 signal in my home.

Ok I will be going to a place where no company gets signal, meaning I can't roam, but I will still have Wifi so I'm wondering what, if I can, do i have to do in order to get Wifi texting? I will and am running CM10 M2.
Thanks

Best thing I would do is use a free text service like text free since it uses data only.

Use Google voice with your current number. You should be able to text. But no mms

Any special way I have to set that up?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Nothing special just select to use your current number. I would sign up using a pc though. Far more options and easier to navigate. And then download the app and sign in with your login. G voice is an great service I don't know why more people don't use it

That one costs $2.99/month for the service. The regular Zipwhip app works, and it's free to use.

Personally I would just use google voice. Just download > link it to your sprint number > done. Only thing is google voice can't receive mms messages, like pictures / video. But you can still text and get voice mail, and no additional cost.

You actually can receive mms messages. You just have to set up Google Voice to where you want to receive messages with your email as well.
If someone says they sent you a picture and you don't see it using Google Voice, just check your gmail. and go through the conversation and you should see an attachment.
Is there a way to make the stock sms app work on just Wi-Fi? I no longer have data service and I miss that themed app. Goggle Voice works but it's butt ugly.
I'm on cm10.1 and the latest epic nitest kernel.

Theres always text+
Sent from my SGH-I317M using xda app-developers app
I was hoping there was a setting or something. I mean the native messaging app is all themed out and I hate the fact it won't work over WiFi. Google voice does and so do others...
Thanks for the reply though, I'll take a look at text+
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Yes all these programs run through internet data rather than the old school cellular radio which SMS unfortunately is. Sorry dude, but text+ is your best shot.

I'm currently on 4.4.2 Beastalk and I can't send MMS when i'm connected to wifi? Is there anyway to do this? I read on other forums that you should try to turn on wifi calling instead, but i can't find that option anywhere
Wifi calling is a Tmobile Touchwiz Feature. It doesn't exist on AOSP.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
A better question would be how can it be setup to automatically turn wifi off for outbound mms?
Is there any news on this? I'd love to be able to send/receive MMS while on wifi instead of receiving the error message.
You could use Tasker to turn wifi off and on when you send the message.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
What about to receive a message?
You may be able to set a context for that as well. Tasker is extremely powerful. I'm just not sure as I haven't tried to set contexts for that kind of trigger.

I use to use go SMS as my messaging app, then I was introduced to Hangouts by my brother. Its plain and simple as a messaging app. I have one issue, sometimes my MMS won't download and I will get individual messages from the contact person, saying "cannot download, please press to download message" and when I press it, sometimes it won't download, other times it won't download till a little later or it just won't download at all. Is there any fix to this? Its very frustrating. I redownloaded the app, I even wiped my phone. I put a new ROM on, (was happening on my previous ROM also). My modem is mk4, going to switch to NB4. But is this an app issue or connectivity issue? I always get my regular SMS without a problem. Please help, I'll appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

If you're on WiFi calling then that's why, you need to disable it or disable it every time you get an MMS
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk
I get this same issue even with stock messenger. Like Serio said, you need to disable Wifi calling. I just shut Wifi off using the toggle send/receive the MMS then turn it back on.

Only touchwiz ROMs have WiFi calling, so this is not your issue.. Try asking or searching in the ROM thread to see if someone was able to find a solution.. I'm on Google edition ROM and have no issues sending MMS with hangouts while connected to WiFi

Hi my phone has terrible reception in my neighborhood and the data is always on edge until i leave my neighborhood and i group text / send mms and receive mms a lot. When im in my neighborhood sometimes ill get "Couldn't download MMS. Touch to download again. Size : 1KB. Expires: (whatever date)" . I was wondering if there is a way to fix this or is there an app that i can text on using wifi to receive MMS on while using my phone number (not really trying to use texting app that changes it). If you can help or lead me to the right app please do so, thank you!

If you are rooted i believe there is an MMS over WiFi mod floating around
Would you mind helping me find it? I googled mms over wifi mod and it just came up with other threads looking for it.
Are you using stock or 3rd party SMS app? Stock SMS should send and receive MMS over WiFi calling

I was using hangouts because it was my preferred messaging app and im on an international rom.

I'm not sure if its possible with an international ROM, there may be a mod to use hangouts over WiFi calling but I can't say for sure.. Like I said stock SMS should work fine on T-Mobile based ROM

I just tried sending an MMS with stock SMS app over WiFi calling and it worked, both sending and receiving.. OP if you can't find a solution to your problem I suggest you flash a T-Mobile based ROM and make sure the MMS app that is included is pure stock, it should work!

Yeah stock, at first I was using the modded S4 MMS and sending and receiving didn't work over WiFi calling (not surprised!) So I went back and flashed the stock s4 app and sending and receiving worked over WiFi.. That's probably what it is in your case, modded MMS apps have never worked for me over WiFi calling, so you must be using plain stock app
