Those are the stock apn settings for each carrier.

In one of the things I was searching, a Bell website came up and told me to also set "MMS protocol: WAP 2.0". Do I need to do that?

Still won't send. What network mode should I have? I am currently using GSM/WCDMA preferred. I have two other options:
LTE/WCDMA
LTA/GSM/WCDMA
By the way, I prefer to use 3G because LTE drains my battery I heard. And I can't use 2G because the signal completely disappears.

Select lte/gsm/wcdma and try that. Worry about disabling lte after you can send a text.
Are you using the stock mms or a third party app?
Some third party apps don't play nicely with some Roms

when changing apns or network mode, it helps to reboot after making the selection. give that a shot if you hadnt already.

Free thanks there....
With this problem I have found that I have had to completely delete the APN and then add it back in and reboot. Delete, add it back in manually and then reboot.
You might have to reboot between deleting and re-adding.

I have one labeled "Bell Flex"
APN: inet.bell.ca
Proxy: Not set
Port: Not set
Username: Not set
Password: Not set
Server: Not set
MMSC: Same as "Bell" APN
MMS Port: Not set
Can I delete that one?

Not familiar with Bell APN settings but I'm sure they can be googled. I deleted all the APN's in my phone and only added then one I needed.
I believe you can restore defaults at any point as well.

Can't send or recieve picture messages

So this is a problem I've had for a while now. I can't send or receive picture messages. When I try to send a picture it just stays on sending, but the picture never actually sends. When someone sends me a picture it gives me the option to download (whether my settings are set to auto retrieve or not) and when I click on download it just hangs there. I've tried sending a picture to myself and that works fine. Right now I'm on the Jedi Knight V3 ROM, but I've had this problem on Darkside Evolution, AOKP, and even stock 4.0.4 rooted. Please help!!!

Is your APN set correctly? I don't have any reason to believe it's not, but usually MMS problems have to do with APNs.

Whos your carrier? If its Tmobile or simple mobile, wipe both proxies in your APN setup. Also when you receive or send MMS make sure your WIFI is OFF not on...

When I attach a picture via mms it says sending but it wont send. Help!!

I belive this is the wrong section...but I have had a simillar problem in the past. From what I recall it had something to do with the wifi radio being on. Try turning off your wifi. If that dosent work turn off your wifi and do a hard reset.

Do as lmm112190 suggests.
If I unerstand correctly service providers (in Sweden at least) prevent users sending mms over wifi so that they can make money on mms.
Are you receiving pics at all? How about Internet access? If nothing at all then its apn related.
Settings>More Settings>Mobile Network>Access Point Names
Your network apn should be selected.

MMS problems?

Is anyone else having problems with third party SMS programs? I've tried textra, gosms, and 8sms. I can't get MMS to work at all. I've tried manually inputting the settings and it still hangs or errors. Has anyone had similar issues, or a fix? Thanks in advance.

handcent seems very buggy. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt.
Yes. I've tried Textra and Chomp and they both don't work.
I've actually been going back and forth via emails with textra developers for two days and they came to a conclusion that they are having issues with multiple Note 3's
They will email me when they have a solution. When I find out, I'll keep you posted

I figured as much. I don't think it's going to be on their end though. It seems like something in the messenger settings on the note is breaking it if it's all sms apps
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
Youre right. They probably need to update this phone for a fix. I hope there's a fix soon.
I hate the stock messenger for group MMS. Its slow, laggy, and I get that stupid No Subject for every group text. Textra is amazing and I can't wait to start using it again.
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
I will say, if you use 8sms, and leave the stock sms app alone it all still works. If you install textra MMS is completely broken
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
I had the same problem with Textra (love this app). After researching and testing different APN settings, I finally found the one that works like a charm.
Create a new APN and use the values from the screen shots I have attached. Don't forget to enable "activate data" in Textra MMS settings. Then reboot and enjoy.

On wifi yes, not on wifi calling. That's something only enabled in stock sms app.
So I'm not totally sure what is different in my settings from others. However my MMS was not working over wifi when I used the new APN. I eventually turned wifi calling to use "cellular network when available" and all of a sudden it seems to be working. I had the setting in textra selected to use data when sending and receiving, but it didn't seem to be doing anything

Anyone having issues with Textra not being able to send MMS once or twice a day? I keep getting the red exclamation mark and have to reset my phone for it to work. Bummer, I had to go back to stock messenger because it was getting way too annoying.

I noticed this is LTE, what if you are not in an LTE area? Will your phone switch to a different APN from this customized APN? And if it switched would MMS again be broken?

Mms limits

I've noticed that I can only send 1 or 2 pictures at a time in the stock message app. Is anyone else having this issue? My daughter's iPhone can send more then that to me in 1 message. Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere? Thanks
Yep. That's why I went with textra.

Report back if its the same. If not then either check the current APN used and see if its matched up or create a new APN and match up with mine. Then save it. Then reboot your phone. Then try picture sending again.
Yes but now I believe it's an att issue in my area. My friends and family are now also having the same issue,so I believe once the art issue is resolved textra will work.

Sprint Galaxy Note 4: RTSP & HTTP Proxy settings in Marshmallow.

Can we bypass Sprints Proxy locations by editing these files.
/data/data/com.sec.sprextension/files/mmhttppd.prop

/data/data/com.sec.sprextension/files/mmrtsp.prop
/data/data/0/com.sec.sprextension/files/mmrtsp.prop
I'm not sure if you can by editing those files but with your MSL number you could just replace the strings with 0 (for ports) and 0.0.0.0 (for IP addresses / URLs)

I actually figured it out.
thanks to your observation.
I used SQlite editor, and went into Phone Info apk
then in: t_systemproperty find the same proxy addresses and ports.
then change to the respective values as we used to before.
I put 0.0.0.0 for the proxies, and <Not set> for the ports
Sweet, I'm going to do that right away. Thanks

When streaming video it removes the proxy as a mediator... if the bandwidth is there it increases and smooths out the data throughput. ..

Has anyone confirmed this is working? When I first jumped to MM I edited the MMSC settings and had problems sending Multimedia Messages when I was connected to any Wifi,. This included group texts as well as receiving those types of messages. I'm not too good at using SQlite and doing all this on my own, so if someone can confirm and help explain how to do it I would Appreciate it. Don't forget to do a Backup!

Guys, I'm using N910P with a GSM SIM outside of US.
I've enabled hotspot through various "hacks" present here on XDA, but when I try to connect my PC through my phone, the PC gets stuck at "Obtaining IP Address".
In my opinion, there's something in stock MM ROM that looks for some Sprint IPs (I may be wrong). So, will editing lines in above mentioned post work for me too?
