MMS over WiFi Calling

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.

Is this a permanent fix? Where did you hear about this?

Yes it's a permanent fix. 2nd level tech support at tmo told me about this a few months ago and its worked for me and my wife's phone several times when I've flashed a new Rom that mms over Wi-Fi hasn't worked.

Didn't work for me unfortunately..

This doesnt work. Mines just switches to 4g to send it then back to wifi..

Well sorry guys. It's supposed to be the fix from Samsung and its worked for me numerous times.

Strange how we're on the same hardware and have totally different results.

I got it to work. I basically read this post and repeated #3.
I sent the email from the stock sms/mms messaging app to my gmail account associated to my android.
Running stock rooted 4.0.4.

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

Can't send or recieve picture messages

So this is a problem I've had for a while now. I can't send or receive picture messages. When I try to send a picture it just stays on sending, but the picture never actually sends. When someone sends me a picture it gives me the option to download (whether my settings are set to auto retrieve or not) and when I click on download it just hangs there. I've tried sending a picture to myself and that works fine. Right now I'm on the Jedi Knight V3 ROM, but I've had this problem on Darkside Evolution, AOKP, and even stock 4.0.4 rooted. Please help!!!

Is your APN set correctly? I don't have any reason to believe it's not, but usually MMS problems have to do with APNs.

Hmm bummer man. Ive used 3 of the 4 ROMS you listed, and on one of them I had to do these steps to get it to work, the other 2 it worked out of the box. Im out of ideas.

Whos your carrier? If its Tmobile or simple mobile, wipe both proxies in your APN setup. Also when you receive or send MMS make sure your WIFI is OFF not on...
I had the same issue, thats what helped me out
hit thanks if i helped

Sms issues?

Has Anybody been having issues with texts lately? It seems like my messages are not getting through. Maybe happens once every 10 messages.
Idk if it's my network or the rom but I think it might be the network.

I had similar problems with att settings on my phone and it was the APN settings that were off a little. Had http:/ instead of http:// for the mmsc and it wasn't downloading or sending. Not sure if you touched your APN settings but if you did double check them.

Has anyone had problems sending or receiving picture text messages? I can't receive them or send them... can someone help me.

I have problems sending and mostly receiving picture text messages using Handcent. I sent them an email. I think is how they set the APN.
Picture text messages work fine on stock message app.
Are you using stock message app? Check your APN settings for your carrier.
Note 3

no problems here with stock or gosms apps.
still running stock build, I'm on tmobile's network.

In my apt i don't get service, so the messages have the circle and are waiting to send. When i gain service it still won't send. A simple restart usually fixes for me and messages go through. Try clearing the data on messages app. Turn off phone take your sim out and put it back in and see what luck you get.

For me, 3rd party MMS apps only seem to send /receive messages after a reboot. Not sure what the problem is.

Gosms is not working for me.

Only SMS issue I have is when you open up a text from the lockscreen, you type in words and it doesn't show at all. Gotta exit out then go back into the text and it'll work.

I just started having MMS issues yesterday. I have tried uninstalling the update to Hangouts, clearing cache in the Messaging app and Hangouts, force stopping both, and clearing caches, reboots, toggling data, I can't seem to get an MMS to send or receive. Anyone else having this issue as of yesterday the 18th? It's driving me crazy!

From what I have seen this is a T-mobile problem as it has started happening with MANY phones.

I had this issue the other day. I ended up uninstalling the SMS app I was using which was Hancent and the issue went away.
I am currently using SMS Popup along with Chomp SMS and it appears to be working okay.

Verizon HTC one UnSense Rom

I am having problems sending MMS while the WIFI is turned on on the unsense rom for verizon HTC one. I can send MMS with the WIFI turned off but not with it turned on. I called Verizon and they said everything was good on their end

What messaging app are you using? Might try the updated Hangouts that came out yesterday...I believe they fixed all the MMS issues.

You can try Textra...there's an option that you can set to allow you to have MMS connect to the mobile network before sending and receiving MMS.

Mms limits

I've noticed that I can only send 1 or 2 pictures at a time in the stock message app. Is anyone else having this issue? My daughter's iPhone can send more then that to me in 1 message. Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere? Thanks

Yep. That's why I went with textra.

I tried textra and it won't even let me send 1 picture. It says file to large. I'm only sending pictures I've taken with my phone and they are only 8 mb pictures at that

I send 11 pics at a time with textra.

Maybe I have a setting set incorrectly. Do u use it stock or did u tweak some of the settings

U don't have to tweak anything for pics. It should just work.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using xda premium

I deleted and reinstalled textra and I can't send any picture's at all! Texts are fine but no pictures and no matter what I do I can't seem to get it to work

Go into mms settings and manually check configure apn. Look at pic below.

Has to do something with your apn. So with or without that checked u still can't send pics?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using xda premium

Go to Settings>More Networks>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names
Match up what I have…
Report back if its the same. If not then either check the current APN used and see if its matched up or create a new APN and match up with mine. Then save it. Then reboot your phone. Then try picture sending again.

Yes but now I believe it's an att issue in my area. My friends and family are now also having the same issue,so I believe once the art issue is resolved textra will work.

So you're saying your APN matches mine?

Yes it matches yours exactly. The reason I think it's an art issue is because now when I turn off my WiFi I can't load the play store or YouTube and when I access the Internet it takes forever before any Web page will load

Sorry att issue. Damn auto correct

If I were you I would go to the AT&T site and open up a chat with a rep. Discuss your issue and see what they say. They will be able to tell you if there is network issues in your area or not and provide solutions.

Update. Att had a service area issue and got that resolved and now textra is working great! Thanks to everyone for your help on this thread.
