[Q] Texting - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

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

Are you using a modded SMS app? Pretty sure I've sent MMS over WiFi calling before
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk

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

Simple mobile data wont work on my tmobile s3. Please help!!

Hi I have a tmobile s3 and im using it for simple mobile and data doesnt work. Messaging and calling works but internt doesnt work . I updated my 4g plan
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Are you running stock? Any mods?
Check the imei number, make sure its not zero.
Also, where did you get the phone?
When did you upgrade your plan? Maybe its an account issue and you either need to wait a while or call the carrier and reset the account.

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.

No. AT&T Visual Voicemail doesn't transcribe the voicemail the way Google Voice does. It just provides a visual list/gui for voicemail navigation.
Also, I had trouble getting it to activate on any ROM that identified my I317 as a N7XXX variant. I'm back on CM 10.2 and it installs fine from the Play store.
You also have to make sure that you have the feature on your account. It should be on any account with 4G/LTE by default but they had to add it back to mine for some reason.

Did you check your apn. sometimes you can change a few things to fix it.

SMS/MMS Hangouts

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
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk
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.

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
