Hey XDA, I've had the nexus now for probably 2 months and I love it, I'm running aokp m4 and Franco's m2. I haven't had and problems except for one. The problem is.. I can't send mms messages when wifi is enabled if I go out and I'm just on the carriers network it sends fine but when I'm at home with wifi as the main access point and the carriers network in the background I can send texts but cannot get or send mms

Any help on this?

thats wierd i noticed the same thing too yesterday, i am on AOKP b31
data and wifi and cell all work fine. when i want to send a mms it tells me that it isnt activated in my network!?!?!
Yeah its so weird, just to get this straight , wifi and the network are enabled at the same time so whenever I have to send a pic or something I have to disable wofi
. Shouldn't the carrier run in the background for things like mms and just take over?

Why can't I receive or send mms when WiFi is connected. I didn't have this issue on sprint. It sucks cause I have to turn off WiFi and then it has to connect to edge then eventually on 4g before i can get or send my mms quicker. I have to use WiFi a lot on this device so I don't go over my cap so I need to have WiFi on at home and work. Very frustrating.

This happens on and off on my Amaze. I just think it doesnt work that well in general with tmo
My wife can't download mms on WiFi with at&t
I have the same problem with Verizon.
MMS are the texts with data right? Yeah I noticed I can't send with just wifi.
Normal text are fine.
AT&T btw for the XDA app users.
Edit: I noticed you said at all when I reread it. I can send em fine with wifi enabled but I have to have mobile network enabled as well.
Maybe this is more common than i thought.
MultiMediaMessages needs your data access to send. WiFi will not work.
Happened on my cousin's AT&T galaxy s ii when he didn't enable data

You youre right that it does need data but I think what its supposed to do is switch to mobile network real quick and send/receive then revert back to wifi. The issue is its not doing this on my Tmobile s3.
Edit: Ran a few more test. Had my gf send me 2 mms while I was on wifi and I was able to recieve 1. But other I couldnt receive. It may have something to do with my data connection as I get 50% edge. I have a feeling that when its on edge while wifi is on that it cant DL the mms but on 4g while wifi is on it will work. I need to run a test outdoor where I get full 4g but still connect to wifi.
Same issue here, on simple mobile, I will assume is GS3 MMS bug and when you do receive MMS, it's pretty small
Just use gmail.
People really need to start using email in lieu of mms, the pictures don't get distorted, it sends/receives faster, handles much larger files
I don't know why people even use mms anymore. Everything should be done in email.

Life is about choices, you like email and others prefer MMS, we are using GS3 & others prefer what they like. Email, MMS, WhatsApp, ChatOn etc is matter of preference

Yes, you're right. Life is about choices.
Just like people can "choose" to drive 3,000 miles instead of taking a flight. Or they can "choose" to ship via snail mail instead of UPS.
Doesn't mean their choices and/or preferences aren't ineffective or moronic, or that people want to hear them whine about the "choices" they make.
Aside from that, it doesn't look like it's a "choice" on Wifi. So you can choose to send an email and be done with it, or choose to whine and stomp your feet on xda which has virtually no effect on the situation other than rounding up other whiners.
It's like people complaining about using Blu-Ray and complaining they can't stream VHS to their phone
You can send and receive mms on wifi. I have done it. No data.

Nope. Stock rooted. I will tell you that there are times when it won't send our receive mms or sms, but if I restart it works again. It never works 100%.

Stock no root.
Does it make a difference if you guys enable wifi calling?

Been looking for weeks, anyone know why I can't send sms messages while connected to 4g. I have to enable wifi and connect or disable 4G and use edge to be able to sms messages. Any help would be great. I have tried several diff roms/radios no change.

I'm running the stock T-Mobile rom on my GS4. But sometimes I've noticed that when I'm in areas that don't have a data connection for example in basement but do have voice signal, text messages won't send. Not MMS, just SMS messages. Is there anyway I can take care of this? My Nexus 4 would send messages even without a data connection. Why does the GS4 not receive or send any?

SMS does not depend on data. Strange that you have voice signal but can't send sms as they go through the same cell towers.
Yeah that was what I was wondering. Why wouldn't it send SMS if there is no data connection. Can anyone else with the stock T-Mobile ROM confirm?

Well I'm not totally stock but Wicked ROM is base on stock firmware.
I just turned of WiFi and mobile data, sent an sms and it went though.
Thanks dude. I don't understand why its doing this. Are you using the stock messaging app?

Yes, the only modification is MMS over WiFi but that should have anything to do with sms (plus I turned off WiFi and mobile data).
How's the phone signal when it's happening? (I don't think sms need that strong a signal however)
I just tried it, turned off data and sent a sms and it worked. I'm not sure why it doesn't work when in specific places where I have voice signal but no data.

Been having a similar problem on stock. Full bars but no data for long stretches of time at places that I've always had data . Really odd but I'm not sure if it's rom related or not.

I was just visiting my dad's side of the family in Wisconsin a few weeks back. The town I was in I literally had very very little service, with no data at all and was still able to text perfectly fine.
I really need a rom that can send and receive MMS over WiFi. At my work I'm in a basement that can't get a data connection and it drives me crazy not being able to get MMS messages.
As far as I understand it only the tw Roms do it. Maybe use google voice for it?
