Anyone else having issues sending and receiving MMS messages while connected through WiFi calling on the KL1 update? This always worked with WiFi calling on other devices.
Its hit or miss. At times mms will send when wifi calling. Other times it doesnt. Wifi calling has been very buggy for me in general

Thanks! Just wanted to make sure it wasn't just me or a limitation of the new WiFi calling app. I have not had it work at all yet, but I will keep trying.
I was using mms to send pics of the fantasy draft snuff they were really quick when I usually don't have service i'm my house

Same prob here. If you turn wi fi off then mms will go through

Hi guys,
I live on campus and we have wifi everywhere and so I have the 200mb option to save some pennies.
Can I disable mobile data somehow but leave MMS (MMS does not count towards tmobile data). It already racked up 60mb. That and it might save some battery too, who knows.
Are you saying if you turn off mobile data you lose MMS? I'm confused..
Settings-> Data usage-> untick Mobile Data

Yes, that's what happens, I don't know how to stop it, but it looses all mms capabilities when you loose mobile data.

If you are on stock ROM i think there is a way to use MMS over WiFi calling. But after a quick google, it seems like third party apps such as GOSMS and Handcent dont like MMS over WiFi calling. So just use the stock MMS app. Remember, this is only if you are on a stock ROM or TouchWiz ROM. AOSP ROMs do not work at all with WiFi calling (From what i remember)
There is no way to disable data and still receive MMS.

Yes there is. Google MMS over WiFi calling. Kinda wish it worked on AOSP
What do you mean by "Google MMS" ? The stock messenger? OP it seems like it should work unless you don't have wifi calling enabled?

Let me rephrase that: There is no way in stock android to receive MMS while data is off.
If you're rooted, download LBE Priacy Guard or Droidwall and disable and whitelist only the messenger

Ohhhh I thought he meant use Google MMS over wifi calling.
On stock ICS with the stock messaging app I was able to MMS myself to email and back with mobile data unchecked. I have wifi calling.

this seems like the only solution so far. Thanks
The only solution, even though not the best, would be to switch to an HTC phone.
The only phones I know that are able to receive MMS with Mobile Data off are HTC phones.
Otherwise no other phone I've used does it and stock Android doesn't do it either.

Sp3I just tested this. I turned mobile data of under system settings/data usage. I was able to send and receive messages. BTW I am running 9/14 aokp by casp3rd.
If I helped click thanks.
Thanks

Sony Xperias can do it too. Data disables and they keep receiving and sending MMS.

Aokp and cm works fine for me. I had wifi off and was still able to send pictures.
But on a tw rom I must have data enabled to send and Download picture messages.

Try juice defender. Turns data off when screen is off but u still receive SMS. Also absurd battery life.

Dude just call T-Mobile and ask them to disable your internet data but leave your MMS open!! Works perfectly!
AT&T unfortunately doesn't do this, but T-Mobile sure does. I used to be on T-Mobile but switched 3 months ago and found out that I was screwed by AT&T since they won't disable internet.

I'm running the stock T-Mobile rom on my GS4. But sometimes I've noticed that when I'm in areas that don't have a data connection for example in basement but do have voice signal, text messages won't send. Not MMS, just SMS messages. Is there anyway I can take care of this? My Nexus 4 would send messages even without a data connection. Why does the GS4 not receive or send any?

SMS does not depend on data. Strange that you have voice signal but can't send sms as they go through the same cell towers.
Yeah that was what I was wondering. Why wouldn't it send SMS if there is no data connection. Can anyone else with the stock T-Mobile ROM confirm?

Well I'm not totally stock but Wicked ROM is base on stock firmware.
I just turned of WiFi and mobile data, sent an sms and it went though.
Thanks dude. I don't understand why its doing this. Are you using the stock messaging app?

Yes, the only modification is MMS over WiFi but that should have anything to do with sms (plus I turned off WiFi and mobile data).
How's the phone signal when it's happening? (I don't think sms need that strong a signal however)
I just tried it, turned off data and sent a sms and it worked. I'm not sure why it doesn't work when in specific places where I have voice signal but no data.

Been having a similar problem on stock. Full bars but no data for long stretches of time at places that I've always had data . Really odd but I'm not sure if it's rom related or not.

I was just visiting my dad's side of the family in Wisconsin a few weeks back. The town I was in I literally had very very little service, with no data at all and was still able to text perfectly fine.
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.
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.
