I have searched this, but there seems to be no unified answer lately, so I thought I'd give it a new go now. Basically, is it possible to do it?

With WiFi calling on and using either gosms or native text app, it does not work for me. It just says sending.

Its blocked intentionally by tmobile for "security reasons" if I'm remembering correctly.
It should kick on your mobile data and send it though.
Are you using any roms or sms/mms mods?

MMS over WiFi calling works for me and I've been using it for a while now.. It even works without data being enabled, it shows the message that data is not enabled blah blah blah and that it will send once it is active or something but it ends up sending it anyway and I checked my sister's phone to make sure she received it and she did.. Tried it twice with the stock MMS app so maybe if you try using a different ROM

I have terrible cell service at home. Can't send MMS without Wi-Fi calling, it just never goes through. With Wi-Fi calling on, it takes just a couple seconds. It definitely works.
Check /system/app for gba-service-TMO-Signed.apk. You need that to send MMS over WiFi.
You are right! Couldve sworn it would activate mobile data and send that way.....now that I'm thinking about it, I think that's how it worked on my old phone! Oops.
Sorry bout that. But i just tried it and it works fine for me. Thanks aero!

I'm currently using S3Rx 1.5 Premium Suite, but I am not using any mods for MMS. I just have the native app and GoSMS.

I've tried it with both Wifi calling on & off, with no positive results. And as for that .apk, is it "gba-service-TMO-Signed.apk"? Or can you post a link to whatever it is?

You can pull it from the stock rom and copy it to your /system/app directory. Make sure permission is correct then reboot and try again.
I'm just guessing, but Im thinking in some cases people who don't know what it does remove it thinking its bloat since it has tmo in the name.

Used permissions rw-r-r. Put both in system/app and rebooted. Still a no go. In both gosms and native app, pic just sits there, saying sending (native) and sending flashing green arrow (gosms). Again, I tried it both with WiFi calling on and off, and let each try sit for 5+ minutes.

You would need a task manager to see it. I was using ROM Toolbox's. It's GBA-something. But what about those OMA files I asked about? I think you need those also.

Also a no go.
This is becoming problematic for me, as I like to send pics often, but are always on WiFi at home and anywhere I can pick it up. Network indoors at home is spotty, but manageable.
If any of the files were missing from the rom, you could add them back in and reflash. Maybe they would make a difference then.

Try the AOSP messenger.
So I had to get a replacement Note 2 from T-mobile because my first one had messed up sensors or something. When I got the new one I wanted to backup and restore all my apps from the original.I used Odin to flash CF auto root and do a app and system backup. Then I rooted to the new one the same way and did a restore. I apparently didn't read enough about Titanium backup and restored everything including the system stuff.*Now my data doesn't work most of the time. Specifically when my phone says 4g, no matter how many bars, nothing has network access. I can make and receive calls and text messages although calls have been very spotty with reception. However if I have 4g LTE signal then everything works great. Can anyone suggest a fix? I flashed the stock rom again and reset APN settings to default, nothing is different. Side note, I was able to reset flash, unroot and return the old phone to T-mobile. Any help is greatly appreciated
Have you tried a factory reset?

Am I really the only one that has had this problem with titanium backup? I read a lot before rooting, but apparently not quite enough. Please, if anyone has any ideas or has had this problem, a little help would be greatly appreciated. I would hate to have to send back another phone espevially one that is otherwise perfect. Everything is great when im on wifi or LTE, but 4g gets me nothing. Thanks

I don't think that this video is related to my problem. I can make and receive calls and texts with 4g or lte. However I have no mobile data connection whenever I am connected with 4g. All apps report no connection. When I have lte signal all apps work with no problem. Also my imei number is not gone, it is in there correctly.

Just an idea here. ...
Do you have an Add Block app of any kind? If you do, try to turn it off and see if that is the problem.
I had one that blocked my data, but only on Wi Fi. It took me several days until I found the problem.
Good luck.
Hit my "THANKS" button! Come on, you can do it!
i had similar problem
my settings were set to LTE only in factory menu.
so i would get internet only if LTE signal was available.

Have you tried flashing the radio?
You would have to flash a custom recovery (recommend TWRP)
I also had that problem on my Nexus 5 for a few days, I upgraded my ROM but forgot to flash the Radio again, and after flashing radio in custom recovery all was fixed, was strange because SuperSU carried over and it was just a delta (65mb) update, must of screwed the radio I guess. All is working now though.
#cjp420 did u find solution, i have same problem
I did not, but I never tried flashing the radio like the previous commenter said. That actually was an idea I had, but didn't try because I asked and people were adamant that I shouldn't do that.
Believe it or not I am still using the same phone still with the same problem. It's not a big deal because I set it to only connect to lte or gsm so it never connects to the regular 4g. Everywhere in and around austin that I tend to go has good lte reception so I don't really miss it. The only part the kind of sucks is that ot switches to E whenever make or receive a call because there is no voice over lte apparently.

If it just happened randomly, then it's probably on the carrier side. Call and see if they made any changes recently that could affect this. Otherwise, I'm just not sure.

I'm actually wondering if it could be T-Mobile's fault....sorta. with all of their recent changes and network upgrades, couldn't it be possible that some important things are now different, but your carrier has no idea about it as they may not have been informed? Or maybe something like this wasn't expected. It's just a guess of course, but I know the primary apn changed in markets where T-Mobile deployed LTE. Maybe other things changed too?
I know you said you tried the different apn's, but try the file linked below. Rename the current apns-conf.xml with .bak and copy this one over. It's in /system/etc/ I believe. Then reboot and see if it helps. It's all I can think to try right now. But this has only the new T-Mobile apn. All others are removed.

Usually a stock sms/mms app sends via the carrier, so it goes over a secure line through their servers....or something similar to that. Hard to explain. 3rd party apps don't care about your carrier and just send over the internet, be you connected via WiFi or mobile data.

I ported my phone to straight talk from sprint and my data is working but the speeds are very slow. Straight talk told me to manually enter APN settings they provided me but it's not where it is supposed to be under the mobile networks settings. LG support told me it should be there and if it's not that Sprint has removed, hidden or disabled it. Does anyone know how to access APN settings on this phone?

I'm not sure because Ive never had to do it on this phone. I know Sprint has removed/hidden/disabled it. Certain 3rd party messaging apps will allow you to change the apn settings but I dont think it's system wide. I'm not by my phone currently so I cant test this right now but we do have a hidden menu. From your phone dial 3845#*970# to access the hidden menu.
If apn settings aren't in there you could always try a different rom. You would have to be rooted and unlocked with a custom recovery but most of them will allow you to change the apn settings. If you go that route, head over to the original development section for our phone and read the root guide by engine95 found there VERY CAREFULLY. Sorry if this isn't much help but like I said, Ive never had to do this because I'm still on Sprint Stock.
I tried some apps but they don't work on android 4+ they say and I've tried some secret menus with no success. Can't remember if I tried that one or not. Ill check real quick. I am rooted but I've been hesitant to switch Rome since stock works so well but I may have to look into it. Can anyone recommend a hassle free rom?

Yeah I was worried it wouldnt be in there. Most roms have some slight issues, I prefer stock myself and have been modifying it manually. Cyanogenmod 10.2 is probably your best bet though. It's based on Android 4.3, CM 11 is 4.4 based and mostly smooth but still not labeled as stable.
EDIT: Just make sure you make a full backup of what you have now in TWRP. I'd use TWRP 2.5.0.0 btw. Backup all partitions so if something goes wrong you can restore it back. And follow the install directions for CM precisely. Good luck!
try thisOffline SIM APN Database Otherwise consider using a custom rom or even a stock variant.
I'm not sure that database will help me since Sprint is cdma, but also I already have the correct apn settings from straight talk. My phone just doesn't doesn't have the option to input them thanks to Sprint. Cell providers really need to stop locking people in at this point. If your services were good and your price was competitive then people would stay with you, without the gimmicks. Sorry to rant I'm just really sick of all the cat and mouse games of unlocking a phone. I think I probably will just use a custom rom since my phone won't have anymore limitations after that, but that is still more work than I wanted to do just to change apn settings. Thanks for the feedback guys!

I have heard of other apps not having much luck with changing apn settings for us. Even tho I dont currently need it, thanks for the heads up!
It didn't change it for me. It said ICS or later prevents it but it did allow me to open the menu which was good enough for me. Still having a problem where after a reboot it keeps creating the sprint apn after I delete it but I figure that's baked into this stock rom somehow. Prob still be switching roms but I will play with it some more. It also keeps trying to reactivate on sprint but I was glad to at least see the menu. If it were not for some clever sprint engineers that app would have worked perfectly.

Have a M919 (Tmobile GS4) using the CMInstaller I was able to install CM11 on the phone. WIFI works data and voice doesn't. Most thread discuss modifying the APNs, mine look okay (compared with APN settings). The one option "CDMA subscription" I am not able to change it from NV to RUIM/SIM. Even if I select RUIM/SIM it goes back when I check if the change was kept. Also Reboots clear my IMEI and other info but it returns after being on for a while.
My main issue is getting voice/data working. Toggling airplane mode doesn't change anything. Im currently using the LTE/GSM/WCDMA network type. The APN's look good and the SIM data does eventually show up any suggestions on setting RUIM/SIM and keeping it or suggestions in general are welcome. Thanks

Thanks for the reply..CMinstaller took over the entire installation and I thought the kernal would include a modem. If you have found a way to get voice/data working please share the knowledge.
