[Q] Cannot receive MMS from ATT phones - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hi all -
I have a strange problem. I cannot receive MMS messages from AT&T subscribers. I can get them from Sprint, Verizon and T-Mobile people but not ATT. I have Net10, running thru ATT. My APN is correct, and I get internet, and MMS from most people, but this is frustrating the heck out of me and I cannot figure this out. Seems so odd to only not get them from one carrier, which happens to be the carrier I'm on. Once upon a time, I did receive them. I was running an AOSP rom, switched to another one, and now went back to stock via Odin. Tried on the MB4 one, nope....now running MD1, still no. Has anyone ever heard of this? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

[Q] HTC ONE X International on AT&T SMS MMS issue

So I have the international Version of the HTC ONE X on the AT&T Network. For some reason when I go to send messages sometimes it works and then other times it just says "unable to send message". I do notice the signal going to 3G then it says H and then Edge. I'm pretty new to the android ordeal so not sure of what to expect. Can anyone help me out? I also rooted the phone and used a few roms but it didn't help. I am back on the stock rom which I made a backup of. Any ideas? Anyone else having problems with sms and mms on AT&T with the HTC ONE X.

Apn issue I think. You probably didn't add the apn needed for mms.
Google att apn mms

Hey!!! I did put the ATT APN. Looked at a few Youtube videos also just to make sure I am on the right path and they all seem to use the same ATT apn. I restarted phone a few times and put airplane mode to shut off the signal then turn it on just to try like a reset that way and nothing. Sometimes it works and messages go through and sometimes it doesn't work. Makes me loco lol thanks for writing.
does at&t have this enabled on their end? for some it was a matter of going to at&t and having it straightened out.
I did call ATT and they asked for the IMEI of the phone. I gave it to them and they told me everything was "provisioned" and should work well. I did use APN settings. I restarted the phone thinking maybe that could be an issue but it did not work. Any other ideas?
you could try downloading another app like handcent, which gives you a little more control over settings (including much larger mms size) than the resident app and try to use that as a way of double checking the problem. i'm on at&t prepaid with an int'l one x and don't text much. but when i got on the network, i sent a couple of texts and mms just to see if the service was working well. seemed to be fine for me.
btw, is your micro-sim new from at&t or maybe transferred from an iphone? some former iphone users who transferred sims have reported problems with texting/email. i think they had to make sure their iphones were wiped first before transferring the micro-sim over.

Can't receive MMS from T-Mobile users.

When I get MMS from T-Mo users it shows up, but when I go to look at it the message is blank. Has happened from many T-Mo users but no other carrier.
Anyone have ideas?
I tried different roms, messaging apps, broadbands and apn settings, no work.
If you have ideas keep them coming even if I don't test....will test tomorrow....don't want to keep bothering ppl all night.

Who's your carrier, AT&T? My friend is experiencing the same issue. At least, I think it's the same. I'm on T-Mo and he never gets my MMS.
I tried putting the different APNs in his phone as well. I'm honestly not sure, either.
Wife and I are on tmo and I can't get any of the dumb ass mms that she sends me.
I take it as a blessing really.

I'm on T-Mobile but it's weird cause before I was able to send them. But until Wednesday I tried to send one and it said it failed. I rebooted the phone and cleared cache and dalvik and it still didn't work

The T-Mo users I know can send them but it just comes in as a blank 1KB MMS.....
No one has any idea here.....or can we at least get people to confirm they CAN get MMS from T-Mo users...
Mine does this sometimes. Im on sprint
Im pretty sure this is a gnex issue between tmobile and ATT, Switching my sim into a tmobile branded phone and it will send. Seems that all other providers receive my MMS though. I can receive an MMS from a Gnex on ATT to my Gnex on Tmobile. Im thinking its something to do with the user string of the Gnex and tmobile not knowing what it is.
I can send MMS to any one except people on AT&T. My best friend has an Xperia Play 4G on AT&T and my pictures just shows up as a white box. I'm using T-Mobile

I started having an mms issue on T-Mo recently. Fixed it by resetting the apn settings (the only thing that seemed to change was the ipv6 changed back to ipv4 - i believe you are supposed to have separate apns for data and mms)
Pull up the apn list, hit menu, then reset to default...
No one has any ideas about this ? I'm pretty pissed off now because I called AT&T and they basically said since it non-AT&T your screwed.......
and can we please get an AT&T user to confirm receiving MMS from T-Mo using this phone?
Not using a G.Nexus, using an HTC Sensation with a CM9 variant. Just noticed that I'm only having trouble receiving MMS from TMO friends. I'll keep an eye on this thread to see if anyone has a fix
I should probably clarify that I do receive the message if there's text in it, my phone recognizes it as an MMS but there is no picture and the size is 1kb.
It's definitely the IPv6. I switch it on and MMSs won't come or go. I switch back to IPv4 (and reboot..grrrr) and MMSs send/receive fine. I have checked and cannot find anything in the APN settings that's supposed to fix it.
You have to set up two APNs on the T-Mo phone:
Ipv6 for data
Ipv4 for MMS
I'm in the same situation. I'm using GNex on AT&T. My friend has GNex on T-Mobile. I can receive text but no picture messages from him or anyone that has T-Mobile. Let's keep this thread going to find a solution.

I've given you the solution.
The guy with the T-Mo phone needs to tweak his settings...
even tried to change the apn. I have a Skyrocket on AT&T my brothers and girlfriend have T-mobile and they send me MMS but nothing comes through.
I know other people that have AT&T and they have I-phone and get all MMS messages from T-mobile.

Anybody have a Straight Talk SIM with working MMS?

Hello to any and all folks who might read this thread. I am currently running my G2 on a T-Mo based Straight Talk SIM and for some reason I cannot send MMS at all. Voice and Internet/Data work perfectly fine for me and I have followed the instructions on setting up the APN that are found on Straight Talk's website. My data is enabled and the APN does stick so I have no idea. I should also mention that I am on S-ON on the latest GB OTA ROM from T-Mo/G2. I'm thinking it might make a difference, but I remember this problem occurred when I was running AOKP on my Samsung Vibrant. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!

d2tmo on att sevice

Hey I just gave my d2tmo to my friend who has att service. Before I gave it to him I put it back to stock and unlocked it uusing a method I found here. Oh and I updated it.to the latest 4.3. When I put his sim in it worked fine it says att in the drop down menu and it has the singular apn. The data works the phone calls work but text did not. So I did sone googleing and checked the apn settings. It turned out I had to set the mms port.to it. After that the texts worked to my phone which is the note 2 but he says that he can't text his girlfriend who has att iphone. So does anyone know what could be causing this? I saw that another thing I can try is to change the mms port to 8080. I dont.know.if.that will work.
You can try and install the most updated modem and see if that's the case, for my AT&T GS3 I went from 4.1.1 (Unlock Method) to 4.3 and when I flashed the modem it had everything working on T-Mobile

That's another idea that I thought of. But I was explaining the situation to a friend and then it dawned on me. He had an iPhone so he probably has an iPhone data plan. He probably has to call att and switch it to an android plan. I know tmo's iphone, blackberry and android data plans are different so I bet that's the issue.

[Q] Has there been a solution for the MMS issues? AT&T Unlocked on T-Mobile

I have spent hours searching online and XDA reading posts with no luck. I wanted to see if there has been a solution to this ongoing issue that I overlooked. Not having MMS is a huge deal breaker for me, unfortunately if I can't get it to work I'll be going back to my Nexus 5. I was wondering if anyone has MMS working for T-Mobile? If there was a solution? It has not worked for me in any of the listed messaging apps...
Some things I've tried:
Played around with T-Mobile APN settings (from T-Mobile site and user recommended here at XDA)
Tried Textra app, HTC messaging app, Hangouts
Turned off WiFi
Things I have not tried:
Turning off WiFi calling (AT&T unlocked version doesn't have it)
Flashed any ROMs
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
S-off and switch to a T-mobile branded version of the operating system?
Still might not work flawlessly, as T-mobile and AT&T use different bands for some things, but it might be worth a shot.
Same problem here. Can receive texts...not send them....
Search how to Flash t-mobile RUU and you will have wi-fi calling plus working mms and all radios.
