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.

Tmobile only allows sms/mms to send over their network. Ive heard in the past that either mods or some 3rd party apps can accomplish sending over wifi, but im not sure.

mms thru wifi and gosms dont mix. try handcent instead. works great, but you have to be on wifi calling for it to work

I think Wi-Fi calling makes it work like mentioned above. But, at the same time, I know I had issues with doing it at one point with this phone.

Go SMS will send/receive mms when connected to Wi-Fi but not if you have Wi-Fi calling also on. Not sure there's a way around this. However the stock messaging app works on wifi even with Wi-Fi calling on. But even with the issue I still prefer to use go SMS pro over stock or handcent mainly due to it's iPhone mms group chat capabilities. Handscent seems to have a lot of issues with this feature.

Yeah thats annnoying as hell! Had that problem on my old mt3gs but tmobile fixed it pretty quick with an update. I thought it had been fixed but apparently theyve only fixed the bug where mms wouldnt send at all if wifi was active. Pretty sure there's a fix but I haven't found it yet.

you could always use textplus instead. its an app that lets u send and recieve free texts and mms over a data network or wifi. it even gives u a number to match your area code. just a suggestion

Before the H2 update mms didn't really work over wifi calling. One of the first things I noticed when I got the phone. Since the H2 update dropped I haven't had any issues

Bone stock should be able to send/receive mms over wifi calling. If you are using a ROM I have no idea, you'll have to reach out to the developer of your ROM. If you have done the mods to enable group mms, you'll have to revert back to your stock SecMms.apk to send/receive via wifi calling then switch back to your modded SecMms.apk. Unless someone has made a fix but I haven't been able to find any yet.
Hi,
I am running ICS 4.0.4...using stock messaging or Go SMS.
Is there any way to fix the MMS over WiFi calling issue? It's awful. Even though group SMS works within Go SMS, it fails if I'm on WiFi calling, and my friends hate using GroupMe. Are there any APN settings I can change? a different MMS.apk app I can use?
I am rooted FYI.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Craig
Try Samsung's fix. Turn Wi-Fi on. Open gmail and send an email to yourself and attach a pic using the acct registered to for your phone. Once you get that, try sending an mms to yourself. You should get it fairly quickly.

I believe the issue with GOSMS themselves been testing out MMS over wifi, so far i found it works fine with the stock MMS app and Handcent SMS. Going to try some other apps and see if they work.
Seems i may go back to HandcentSMS until GOSMS fixes it.
I have tried that technique but it failed.....

Thats because it doesnt work. Thats why these devs made it work with the stock DEODEX version or any other custom roms.. I want to see a video from the person that has "achieve" this. Because all I get is when on WIFI, and I send a MMS, 4G comes on real quick to send it and receive it then it switches off.

Im the one who originally posted the Samsung fix several months ago. I have used it after MMS over wifi not working on several ROMS after initial flash, including my current ROM Beastmade (odexed).
Here is your requested video. I sent an MMS to myself, and you can see 4G never turns on. Only wifi uploads/downloads.
Here you go!
MMS only works over data! If on wifi calling it will switch over to data to send and if data is off it will not send.

That's incorrect! If you watch the video i posted 4g never turns on. Also, i just tried it after turning data off and it went thru. If you'd like a friendly $100 PayPal wager I'd be happy to post a video showing it

I went through this issue for the longest time and finally found a solution that worked for me. I posted this in all MMS issue related threads.
Here is the post about how i was able to fix the issue of not able to receive MMS when connected to Wifi. You still have to turn off WiFi calling for this to work. This was never an issue on my GS3, my wife is using it and still has no problem.

double check your APN maybe?
It will be your APN settings, there are 2 settings. One for MMS and another for data. Can you at least access the internet?
Delete the MMS settings then just send a text request for settings to your network provider, the settings will then get automatically set up.
