Hey XDA been a very long time since I've been on here. Quick question. I'm currently using evolve SMS and I've noticed it won't send pics over WiFi, but it will with WiFi off. I know the stock text app did it either way. What settings I need to change in the evolve app so I can send pics over WiFi? Thanks.

I'm surprised I'm not the only one with this problem with 3rd party messaging apps. A somewhat fix would be to go to your APN settings and change your APN Protocol to IPv4/IPv6. It sometimes works and sometimes doesn't.
If you're using WiFI Calling it's a known issue. 3rd party SMS/MMS apps cannot work with wifi calling enabled when you're connected to wifi.
I don't have WiFi calling on.

Just switched over to Yank and Ultimate kernel. Mms works with wifi on. Don't know why but hey, it's a start to finding out why.

For SMS over t-mobile wifi calling works great. MMS on ICS/JB roms seems to have issues but GB ROMS it worked the last time I tried it. I would also note that when I was in Europe with WIFI only (no roaming on my phone), that MMS messages wouldn't go, but SMS did.
Also if you use T-Mobile WIFI Calling make sure you signup for the **free** add on. If you don't when you use WIFI Calling, it counts against your minutes when calling someone.
Thanks for the info. I'm using Andromadus Mimicry v1.3.2. So maybe that's the problem?

Works fine for me. I have very poor coverage at home, wifi-calling is the main reason I'm not running the JB ROM full time.
Been using Mimicry as my DD for a couple months. T-Mobile's wifi-calling sometimes flakes and doesn't want to connect, but if it says it's connected SMS is fine. Not sure about MMS.
Its been confirmed that mms over tmo wifi calling doesn't work on ics by edkeys. But you can see when you receive an mms and at that point you can switch to cell data and just get it. And then switch back to wifi calling

I'm using 1.3.2 as well, but you have to be using the 26.13.04.19 radio in order for the T-Mobile wifi calling app to work. Calling and SMS works, MMS doesn't.
PS: Installing the Google Now zip will break wifi calling (ie: it'll be active, but will fail to receive/send)
I haven't noticed the Google now error ill have to test

When I tested, the icon showing wifi calling enabled looked fine and all, and wifi bars would show with data bars off just like normal. However when you goto send an sMS for example it would immediately fail as if it were relying on the data connectivity. Something in the Google Now Package (tried v5 and v6) breaks it. But if you were to re-flash edkey's wifi calling after Google Now it seems to work.
I guess the reason I never noticed was because when I did it I flashed mimicry then google now and wifi calling. That only happened because when I upgraded to the new mimicry I noticed wifi calling missing so that's why I added it last. I guess I just got lucky

Hey all, I'm looking to try out some 3rd party sms apps. Not in love with the stock one and Hangouts can't send/receive MMS when I'm connected to wifi.
Anybody know of any SMS apps that MMS works while connected to WIFI like the stock app?
(posting this in general rather than Q&A in case others are looking for the same thing in the future).
Thanks all
Are you asking for an app that sends MMS via WiFi? I don't think that's possible. When I'm connected to WiFi on stock app it uses 4g to send MMS and I have wifi calling on too.

I think I confused myself lol. Okay, so normally my WiFi calling is set to cellular preferred so most of the time I have cell signal when connected to WiFi. When I'm on WiFi and send a MMS the 4g logo pops up so it never sends MMS on WiFi or at least not when I have a signal. Was op trying to ask for an app that'll send MMS over WiFi calling when he has no cell signal? Also, I think WiFi calling can send regular SMS when there's no cell signal. Someone correct me if I'm wrong on that one.

when youre connected to wifi calling your signal bars should be empty with an x signifying you have no mobile radio. wifi calling handles calls/sms/mms. and any 3rd party messaging app other than hangouts should also work the same way since they actually use the stock messaging app still.

Oh gotcha. It's gotten much better where I live. Now when I make calls a lot of times it says HD in the bottom right. Do you know what that means? At first I thought maybe it was volte but I think that's only implemented in a handful of cities

HD means HD calling. T-Mo has it in places and it supposedly makes call quality much better. I havent seen it here yet so I cant comment but Ive read tech site reviews that say its legit. I think Sprint has it too.
According to the T-Mo website HD calls are nationwide now. If thats the case and we have it here, it sucks. Call quality is awful here, echoes and random noise during calls.
Hey guys I noticed the past couple days maybe week+ I haven't been able to send and receive mms solely on Wi-Fi with the stock messaging app. This is without cellular network as my work gets zero cellular service. It has worked before, but hasn't recently.
Does anyone else noticed this?
Any known fixes?

Only HTC Messages sends mms over wifi calling
is it me? I can only get the delivered HTC Messages (ie the one that comes with the phone) to send MMS over wifi calling. Hangouts and all 3rd party text message programs I have tried just sit and do not send it.
thanks

What would using this app have anything to do with wifi calling? I've been using Smitten for a while now on my G3 and my wifi/wifi calling is fine. It's a really good sms app too. I can't stand the stock sms app and Smitten is a big improvement.

I like this, but I was experience some weird annoying bugs that led me to stop using it. Messages would appear to go to the wrong person, event though they didn't. Random crashes frequently.
I mean I need mms over data and texting when no signal only with wifi calling with stock app will work.

Same boat. I love the hoverchat app for SMS but don't use it as my primary because anything other than stock seems spotty when on WiFi.

Hmm, I never use wifi calling so I guess I wouldn't have noticed this problem.
Stock T-Mobile Note 3 here and I only have wifi coverage at my house. I can send and receive calls and SMS just fine, but not MMS.
My brother's phone, a stock T-Mobile S5, can do MMS on the same wifi network so I know it's not that.
Any suggestions on a fix? I have tried changing my APN settings to ipv4/ipv6 on APN Protocol and APN Roaming Protocol
Thanks for any help!
Are you using the stock messaging app? Only the stock Samsung app can send mms on wifi calling.

Google hangouts is supposed to do both over wifi.

So far you're right only the stock app has let me do MMS over wifi.
How do I set up Hangouts to make it work though? I tried the custom APNs in the Hangouts settings but that hasn't seemed to work.

I'm on stock towelroot rooted 4.4.2 and MMS works for me with Hangouts over Wifi at home and with GoGo Wifi in airplanes. I didn't have to do anything, it just works.
