Sending/Receiving MMS Over Wifi - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

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.

These are from MD5:

gba for MMS.
WAPPushManager for SMS.
Dump them both in /system/app, correct permissions if needed and reboot.

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.

Wifi calling on multiwindow roms

Ok I think I found a very simple method to get wifi calling on multiwindow roms.
Check if your rom has the app wificall.apk in /system/app/
Get QcustomShortcuts from market (free)
Make a shortcut to:
Package: com.movial.wificall
Class: com.movial.wificall.Settings
You now have wifi call settings on multiwindow rom
Ok so....I tried on a different rom, the required apps don exist but im making progress.
Needed apps in /system/app
wificall.apk
ip-provider.apk
IPService.apk
gba-service-TMO-Signed.apk
Need Secsettings.apk from a wificalling rom
Need some other files ( I have copies a bunch from wifi calling rom, but these are the ones I think changed things)
In framework:
gba-service-lib.jar
In etc/permissions
gba-service-lib.xml
Only thing is it tells me bad sim.

Hey Dennis,
Forgive me but I'm unclear as to whether or not you just are referring to having needed those files or whether you're asking for someone to send them out of a stock install. If it's the latter I can help. If it's the former... well then I'm just out of my depth!

You have to add them. And apparently secSettingsProvider also in /system/app. Plus some unknown items to get the sim card registering correctly.

Whats your favorite wifi tether app for rooted phones, that's confirmed working.
For those using a windows computer that keep getting rerouted try this:
download ultrasurf (Google it)
Run it and wait till it connects.
Done. Enjoy browsing..

it doesn't work with T-Mobile, because there is the Mobile Hotspot app...If someone can remove that from the device, I tried it with root but it didn't work...but if you used the international version of your rom....then it works....between International has no wifi calling...in case you either live in the no signal zone, or you are traveling abroad....

That works with MYROM version 2.1 with the APN Fix. I using that combination for the past 2 weeks with no problems.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
Just use the treVee mod (if your rooted) that way you dont have to change or delete your apns and it even comes with a little widget to turn it on and off.
you have to change some of the settings in the app in order to get it to work properly, pm me if u wanna know the settings
easy tether app on the market
download chrome for your laptop/desktop
download user agent chrome extension
change it to a mobile browser
done.

WORKING WiFi Tether??

Is there actually a Wi-Fi tether app that works for our phone? I've tried Wi-Fi tether from the market, and other devices will connect to my SSID and "tether", but it will basically be a worthless connection because I won't be able to surf at all from the tethered connection.
I'm trying to connect my Nexus 10 tablet since I get great LTE signal here in Dallas where I live, but I can't make full use of it since no tether app works properly with our phone...any help is appreciated!!

1.Change device profile to - Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)
2.Setup method - Auto
3.Enable wifi-encryption
4. I changed SSID and my Passphrase
That's it. It's worked for stock JB and Imperium. Haven't tried it on Lifeless yet.
mine is on the Generic ICS/JB on wifi tether my SSID will show up but wont connect at all.

Is whatever you're trying to tether set to auto? Also, Wi-Fi cannot turn on at all after a reboot if you're on zvb. Try it on other things also to see if its the app, or whatever you're trying to tether.
Edit. Try going to settings, enable access control.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
When I had this problem (at&t model but probably the same issue), I had to select a different lan in the wifi tether settings. Either the arp cache on the tethered device still had old entries (since the default network is the same as my wireless network that my device had just been connected to), or it's just that wifi tether applies the wrong netmask. Right now I'm using the setting "10.10.3.0/24" which works, but in reality it's assigning a 255.0.0.0 (/8) netmask to the interface!

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.

If you're stock, not rooted, there's not a lot you can do. Chances are it's an issue on the carrier side still. Have you tried your SIM in another device? Tried a new, or someone else's SIM?

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.

Here's a preemptive answer to a question that's been asked countless times about this ROM- "How do I change the battery icon?"
Assuming you installed OGBatteryMod, tap on the battery icon in your status bar 3 times and you'll be presented with a list of many icons and can make your selection there.

I have been tethering for a long time and always had worked without a problem so here is the thing...
I have Nationwide 4G unlimited data plan but it doesn't allow me to tether by default so on my old phone Note II when I rooted and installed another ROM the tethering was fixed.. I don't know how.. yes yes I know that I have to switch Us.Agent.... I do switched just like I always did but it's just not working and by not working I mean it takes me to the T-Mobile page

OK. So are you saying that you can't use the tethering and portable hotspot under settings?

OK try this. If you are using xposed and modules, you can use wanam and click on system you will then see an option for tethering provision. Disable it and reboot then try again. Let me know if it works.

OK. Have you ever tried treve mod? I can walk you through the setup that works for me. I'm going to look into VPN apps that would resolve the issue. I also need to know which browsers you have tried so we can try to find one that works for you after changing user agent.

Chrome with UA Extension, I wanna make the tethering to work from the native option if it's possible...

Treve mod has a native framework tether option but you would still have to use the app to tether. I will look into it first thing in the morning. There's really no reason for it not to work right after you flash the ROM. I use treve mod but the native method also works. The only difference between your plan and mine is that I have true unlimited. That means that I have support for 2gigs of hotspot and unlimited data. The modded tethering provision.apk from TheSickness is working right out of the box for me. I can use the hotspot as much as I need.
BTW. On chrome you can change your user agent under developer tools. Look here http://www.technipages.com/google-chrome-change-user-agent-string

So it's working on insane kitkat v4 but not on v8 for you?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using XDA Free mobile app
This is what I would try next if I was having your problem. I would save the tethering provision.apk from v4 to my SD card. Then I would flash v8 again and once it boots up I would replace the v8 tethering provision.apk with v4 and set permissions to rw- r-- r--. It's definitely worth a try. I wouldn't be surprised if it works!

How can I do that? I'm telling you guys there is something wrong with the Tethering on V8

OK. Download es file manager if you don't already have it and give it root access. Go to system/app and copy the tethering provision.apk and paste it somewhere where it will be easy for you to find it. Like the download folder. Then flash v8 and open es file manager go to system/app again and delete tethering provision.apk. now go to wherever you saved the v4 apk and copy it then paste it in system/app. Long press on the apk and click on properties. Then just change permissions to rw- r-- r-- and reboot. You should be able to tether now.

That has to work for you for sure! All you are doing is replacing the bad apk with the working one. Make sense?

If you have WiFi problems this are ktoonzes recommendations:
To make wifi work when it wont turn on or connect, change this in the build.prop:
ro.securestorage.support=true TO ro.securestorage.support=false
