So I hate the stock touchwiz messages..I use textra and the new google messages app. Textra has a setting to send MMS/pictures over WiFi but are slow to send.
I've been trying the new google messenger and love it with the exception of sending MMS/pictures as my house has WiFi and it won't send over WiFi...
I had note 3 before and the WiFi would be connected but the mobile data would also stay active and I've noticed on the note 4 that when WiFi is on there is no mobile data icon...I have to turn WiFi off to send MMS/picture messages. Is there another way to do this without rooting??

I noticed something... at home I get low service like 1 or 2 bars so I use WiFi a lot to surf web or to use apps.. for gmail when I compose a email i noticed it will stay on sending status when I'm on WiFi.. but if I turn off WiFi n get back on 3g and compose and send its almost instant it sends.. I know able to receive emails just fine when I'm WiFi but sending is the issue is there a fix or a setting I'm over looking? Please help!

I'm having the same issue with my POP3 email - will not leave the Outbox unless I turn WiFi off. Stock device, by the way.
Thanks!
I cannot SEND SMS on WiFi calling IF I am set to Cellular preferred but connected to WiFi calling. I do recieve.
IF it is set to WiFi Preferred then I can send and receive SMS.
Sending/receiving MMS is a No Go on any WiFi calling and even when on Cellular calling IF I am connected to a WiFi network.
My Galaxy S4 did not have these issues! Its very... annoying. Anyone have experience in this?? Will there be an update? Is there anything I can do?
I am not yet rooted (still in the lets make sure this crap works first phase).
There is an app on Play Store called Tweakker. It will help build your APN by Carrier. At the end you will see the APN it set up and your default. You can compare the two. Select the one you want to use.
Some third party apps are having MMS issue, Handcent just fixed their app. Are you using stock to send MMS?

I use GoSMS, have for a long time. Ill try the Tweakker and stock messaging for the MMS. I am still confused as to why it would NOT send SMS if set to Cellular preferred but will if set to WiFi preferred. Either way the Wifi Calling is active on the same network.

Very odd issues all the way around while using wifi calling. MMS will come in but I get blank messages in stock and gosms BUT the pics so fine in hangouts.
Oh, and I started dropping INCOMING calls at 1 min 26 seconds. I think I saw something about that in another thread...?
Ive turned off the wifi calling except here at work where I mostly use it for texting in the office. As long as its wifi preferred lol.
Its very annoying. Especially since my S4 did not have these issues (though the call quality was abysmal, at least the Note 3 improved that)

I can't send mms using Google messenger whilst I'm connected to wifi. I can receive no problem however. In order to send I must turn wifi off. Bit of a pain...
Edit: works perfect using stock messaging app.
Anyone else notice this?
Note: I know I can't use wifi to send or receive. That's not an issue.
Some mms apps are not smart enough to switch to cell data to authenticate. See if there is a setting to send via cell

No such setting. Also, stock messaging app has no issues..
OK Nexus 5x users. I have searched the web, I've searched the forum, I've searched everywhere I possibly can think of and still can't find a solution. I am on AT&T. I had an iPhone 6s before I bought my Nexus 5x, But from day one I'm not able to receive MMS messages consistently. Everything over 160 characters I don't get. I've tried everything I possibly can find, to no avail. I've messed with APN's, I don't have push bullet installed, I don't have any other text messaging app installed. I still have my iPhone 6s, and I've gone in and disabled face time as well as iMessage and iCloud, so on and so on and so on. I've even tried multiple text messaging apps just to see if that would help. I've installed two different operating systems, however both of them are based on 6.0 .1. For what ever reason no matter what I try no matter what I mess with I can't get any text message that are 161 characters or more to come through. When I reset phone to stock, I can get them to come through for about one minute and then I no longer can get them. I don't install any other apps and they just stop coming through. If I put my Sim card back in the iPhone 6s and make a few texts and then disable iMessage and FaceTime and iCloud again, I can get MMS messages for about one minute and then they stop coming through again. I can send MMS messages just fine I just can't receive them. I see multiple posts on the Internet about this issue with marshmallow. It seems like everybody is able to solve it, "but me". Does anybody on this forum have any idea what I can do to solve this issue?

sorry, are you on custom rom or stock now?
I was having mms issues in verizon. Incoming Mms were delayed for days. None of the recommended apn settings helped, switching between messenger and hangouts saw no change, turning wifi on and off, etc.
I set the apn to restore defaults and now it seems to work, when mobile data is on. Doesnt work when just wifi is on.
Question, is mms over wifi even a feature on Verizon? My Galaxy S4 did not send or receive mms if mobile data was off, one annoying feature because I usually just leave wifi on when home.
But then through some verizon update i could send and receive mms with mobile data disabled, I think it would switch mobile data on momentarily when an mms was incoming or outgoing.
So is there a way to get mms to work with mobile data off on the 5X on verizon?

My 5X does not send mms with mobile data turned off. My S3 was exactly the save before this phone. I'm on Verizon, stock rooted with Ex kernel installed. This didn't work on stock OOTB either. I get notifications if I receive mms and I just turn on my data at that point to download them, if it isn't enabled.

Since you are coming from the iPhone...I wonder if you have to de-register your number from imessages server?

So i live in a very weak signal area and as such love the ability to use wifi calling ( i couldn't talk on my phone at home most days before) but one thing that still bugs me is sms and mms. i have tried several apps to send text with mobile data off ( but wifi calling on) and connected to wifi to send but they all fail. even the Verizon message + app fails to send . Is there a texting app that will send and receive Verizon sms and mms over wifi? i have tried message+, Samsung stock app , textra , google messages and hangouts .. all fail. if i turn on mobile and am in a good signal area , they all work fine. i just need a solution so i can text from home with mobile data off ( essential off anyway due to aforementioned signal issue..
Do you have root?
If you change the build.prop id to another device (like a samsung tablet) then Verizon Mesaging + will let you send text over wifi.
I did it about a year back and it worked great. The deatails are buried in the note ii forum.
