I use to use go SMS as my messaging app, then I was introduced to Hangouts by my brother. Its plain and simple as a messaging app. I have one issue, sometimes my MMS won't download and I will get individual messages from the contact person, saying "cannot download, please press to download message" and when I press it, sometimes it won't download, other times it won't download till a little later or it just won't download at all. Is there any fix to this? Its very frustrating. I redownloaded the app, I even wiped my phone. I put a new ROM on, (was happening on my previous ROM also). My modem is mk4, going to switch to NB4. But is this an app issue or connectivity issue? I always get my regular SMS without a problem. Please help, I'll appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

If you're on WiFi calling then that's why, you need to disable it or disable it every time you get an MMS

I get this same issue even with stock messenger. Like Serio said, you need to disable Wifi calling. I just shut Wifi off using the toggle send/receive the MMS then turn it back on.

Yup that's what I do.. But it should work fine with stock SMS app, unless you have hangouts as your default SMS client

Only touchwiz ROMs have WiFi calling, so this is not your issue.. Try asking or searching in the ROM thread to see if someone was able to find a solution.. I'm on Google edition ROM and have no issues sending MMS with hangouts while connected to WiFi

So if you have a T-Mobile G2, you should know that we have wifi calling, which is a great thing, but I would like to know if there's a way I can text using the wifi. I've looked around and the only suggestion is using Google Voice, and I do, but it's just inconvenient to give all my friends a 2nd number to text to.
Thanks!

Don't texts go though wifi if you're using wifi calling? I think they do, thus no need for a separate app.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2
You still use your plans minutes and texts on wifi..so what is the point in "texting in wifi"? They don't charge data for texting/mms

The point is, access when there's no coverage. I have no signal at work and barely 1 bar (EDGE only) outside of my work so I have to run on WiFi

Are you using the stock messaging app or something different? Might not work with a 3rd party app without some tweaking

If it were't for wifi calling, texting and calling from home would be an exercise in futility. So, I know it works.

I too can also vouch that with the stock and aftermarket SMS apps that text messages go though with WIFI calling enabled. I have 0 signal at my house.
Maybe try turning off your gsm radio to see if that works. Just a thought.
Not sure if you're interested, but I use an app called Textfree which sends texts through wifi to your recipient. It gives you a Textfree number which is a US number. Being Canadian, this really helps with having american friends because they don't have to text internationally and I can text using my Data or WiFi.
Give it a try!
yup mms and sms work wile wafi calling is enable ...i used 3rd paty messenger (handcent)

It seems like it. I was never able to get that to work while on wifi-calling only - although there are other services you could use to accomplish the same goal.

SMS and MMS are always sent over the cell connection.

Does any one know what the eyeball with eyelashes up on my notification is? Also why when using Boat browser or any other browser it won't download video no more thru my regular data but it does thru my wifi? I had the G2 and it would work fine, just switched and it's not working any more.

It defaults to WiFi automatically (if it's available) to save use on your data plan. You can configure it to use data connection only in the advanced WiFi settings, not sure why you would want to, but the option is available.
And yes, the eye is smart stay/scroll etc... , you can turn it off by going into controls >smartscreen >smartstay. Keeps the screen on as long as it detects your looking at it ..

Hi my phone has terrible reception in my neighborhood and the data is always on edge until i leave my neighborhood and i group text / send mms and receive mms a lot. When im in my neighborhood sometimes ill get "Couldn't download MMS. Touch to download again. Size : 1KB. Expires: (whatever date)" . I was wondering if there is a way to fix this or is there an app that i can text on using wifi to receive MMS on while using my phone number (not really trying to use texting app that changes it). If you can help or lead me to the right app please do so, thank you!

If you are rooted i believe there is an MMS over WiFi mod floating around
Would you mind helping me find it? I googled mms over wifi mod and it just came up with other threads looking for it.
Are you using stock or 3rd party SMS app? Stock SMS should send and receive MMS over WiFi calling

I was using hangouts because it was my preferred messaging app and im on an international rom.

I'm not sure if its possible with an international ROM, there may be a mod to use hangouts over WiFi calling but I can't say for sure.. Like I said stock SMS should work fine on T-Mobile based ROM

I just tried sending an MMS with stock SMS app over WiFi calling and it worked, both sending and receiving.. OP if you can't find a solution to your problem I suggest you flash a T-Mobile based ROM and make sure the MMS app that is included is pure stock, it should work!

Yeah stock, at first I was using the modded S4 MMS and sending and receiving didn't work over WiFi calling (not surprised!) So I went back and flashed the stock s4 app and sending and receiving worked over WiFi.. That's probably what it is in your case, modded MMS apps have never worked for me over WiFi calling, so you must be using plain stock app
