Running Wicked v4. Been talking to people in the ROM thread and nobody has been able to help much.
Basically, MMS works fine on mobile network with all apps. MMS works fine on the stock messaging app with WiFi calling active. MMS doesn't work at all with any 3rd party texting apps. Have tried Handcent, Go SMS, and Chomp. As soon as I disable WiFi it works fine on those apps.
Any suggestions?

So I'm running CM11 on Madmacks latest build and everything is working perfectly except MMS and Textra. I use Hangouts and it works Ok, but I hate the notification and sometimes I miss texts because it won't work with LightFlow... at least not for me.
Textra allows me to setup repeating vibrations and it works just fine for texts, but will not work for MMS. I've tried to configure the APN for MMS using every setting I could find on google to no avail. Just keeps saying it won't work.
it won't even work with the stock messaging app that's why I suspect APN is the problem, not the app. I'm using the default phone APN and LTE.
Any ideas for getting Textra to work or even the stock messaging app?
Hi all, Just recently picked up the G3 after Trading in my HTC One M8. I'm having issues sending and receiving MMS while my wifi is on when using Evolve SMS. I know that Textra has a work around built in where it turns off Wifi To send the MMS over Data but I don't really care for the look of Textra. I'm not sure if maybe my settings are off with Evolve as when I had my M8 it would send and receive with no problem. Anyone else having issues with this or know of any other 3rd party MMS apps that have the work aroudn built in like Textra?
Thanks,
Believe it or not every phone is different. Download and test. What works for me hasn't worked for others

It depends on the app. I have issues with hello sms, but had them with the Nexus 5 too. Chomp SMS works more reliably, but I never know if I'm missing messages. I've resorted to using hangouts with the SO for images, and use texting for sms only.
Convincing other users to jump on yet another messaging app is always a hassle.

I went back to the stock messaging app because it was the only one that seemed to send and receive everything reliably while on wifi calling mode.
I mean, for one example, Google Hangouts doesn't even offer to resize pictures - and when you have a hard message size limit, that's a deal breaker. (The stock app indicates 1 MB is it.)
I am running CM11 on the virgin mobile variant and the only way to receive MMS while on 3G/roaming indicator on , is to use the hangouts app. I recall this being the case on other phones I've owned too. Does anybody know why this is or what hangouts secret is? I'd like to use either the default messaging app or textra at least. I don't understand what's making it work on Hangouts only.
I recently upgraded from a galaxy s4 to a beautiful galaxy s6 edge but i noticed i lost the mms over wifi capability. Yes i have tried it all turning on wifi calling but no luck it only works if i turn off my wifi and turn on my data. Can anyone help please?
So I was looking into this, and while this post is from April, I figured I would answer since I didn't see a response. I'm sure someone will benefit from it since I've seen the question all over the place (on Google searches)
I found out that T-Mobile doesn't allow 3rd party applications to send MMS over Wi-Fi using Wi-Fi calling. This is because they use Generic Bootstrapping Architecture (GBA). The 3rd party applications don't have these GBA certificates, therefore not allowing them to utilize the MMS features. I've seen some people be able to use Google Hangouts and the stock SMS application to successfully send MMS over Wi-Fi. Other than that, the only fix I've seen in the applications temporarily disable the Wi-Fi to activate the mobile data, and then reactivate Wi-Fi once the MMS has been sent.
I'm sure someone else could clarify more than that, but I hope this helps.

Yeah I use Google messenger, and it works perfectly fine for me over wifi
I use textra and it works great. I've tried my sms which does NOT work, so i think it depends on the app you are using.
Am I the only person experiencing MMS problems? I have always had MMS problems, pictures won't download, MMS won't send. I have been running mostly CM or other custom roms on my S4 for several years. I attributed my problems to the custom roms, maybe APN problems. I have been running stock OE2 for a couple days on my S6, and have already had similar MMS problems. Is this just the way it is on Sprint or do I have a fundamental problem with the app I am using? I have been using Hangouts. Is there something better or is this the best I can expect? All my family members have iPhones and never have any MMS problems. Not going there, but I am pretty feed up with Sprint, android, or Hangups MMS problems.
Hey I was just about to post something about this. I believe the issue is with googles messaging apps (Hangouts or messenger). For some reason both of these apps are determined to use mobile data to send MMs. This often times flat out doesn't work and you end up with MMS messages not coming through. Even when you are connected to wifi it will still try and send the MMS over mobile data.
However if you use the stock samsungs stock messaging app MMS sends MMS over wifi and is much better at sending and receiving over mobile data.
I am not sure why this is happening. Probably something with APNs. If anyone has any suggestions on how to make googles messaging apps work well with MMS let us know !

@balistic2 thanks. I really like Hangouts, but don't like the MMS issue. I am going to switch to stock Samsung for awhile to see if it is any better.
Ya hangouts is great b/c is puts all your gchats and text into one conversation. However when I get an MMS it is awful.

Not if it is a hangouts issue. No problems so far on stock messenger, but too early to tell.
Ya something in Hangouts/Google Messenger doesn't use the correct APNs. To try it yourself get on wifi. Send an MMS with the samsung stock messaging app. Watch to see if your mobile data becomes active. (it shouldn't b/c you are on wifi). Now do the same thing with hangouts/Google Messenger while on wifi. Does your mobile data turn on when trying to send a MMS via a google app?

True!
I highly recommend Textra. Can't recommend it enough actually. It's smooth, pretty, and works with MMS over WiFi. Set it up like this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9pwu3qth7x6rvxk/Screenshot_2015-07-11-10-50-45.png?dl=0

Thanks. Will give it a try.
Hi
I had the same issues as every one with not being able to send or receive mms.Believe me when i say i tried everything out there to no avail
My solution/problem was a very easy fix (after weeks of trial and error)Go to settings then data usage then turn mobile data on
you should see a graph with your usage.All you do is adjust your data usage to say 9 gig or something high and that is it
What i can gather why this works is because if your data is set at say 2 gig it restricts what can be downloaded ie mms
Good luck i hope this helps
Also try calling: ##update#
This will update your PRL and such, it could help

Been using Textra for a long time... It is probably the best app out there.
