I've had my G3 awhile now and have always had problems with mms. Had an hour long talk with a bell tech not to long ago.. Got it to work.. (data would not work.. No Internet or anything). I was using textra at the time, now the only messaging app that works for me is textra. Even the stock app will not send mms nor will any others but the I have Internet. So that part works it just will not download or send any mms with any message app other then textra.
I'm baffled, I've tried everything I can think of and have read about. I've been through the APN settings about 3 times now.. Everything is correct there..not what what to do now.
This is on bell network with the International version (D855)

So I'm running CM11 on Madmacks latest build and everything is working perfectly except MMS and Textra. I use Hangouts and it works Ok, but I hate the notification and sometimes I miss texts because it won't work with LightFlow... at least not for me.
Textra allows me to setup repeating vibrations and it works just fine for texts, but will not work for MMS. I've tried to configure the APN for MMS using every setting I could find on google to no avail. Just keeps saying it won't work.
it won't even work with the stock messaging app that's why I suspect APN is the problem, not the app. I'm using the default phone APN and LTE.
Any ideas for getting Textra to work or even the stock messaging app?
So ive been using ignorance on cdma for a while now and its great! The only problem ive noticed is mms not working properly. At first, I used hangouts and although i receieved mms, they never downloaded. I tried using the stock, textra, and hello, and it still didnt send properly. The mms i received through hangouts wouldnt even show up in other messaging apps. I tried to change the APN in textra because i cant access it through system settings and it still wont work. Any ideas?
hello. i know this question has been asked numerous times but I've had no lucked getting this resolved . I've rooted my g3 wit towleroot. mms was working fine and then would stop. i would receive a picture but it would not download. found out i had to delete my iPhone from the apple support site. everything was fine. its been about a 3 weeks since it got resolved but now my mms and group messaging is working inconsistently. i tried to send a pic to myself and it doesn't send. i used the stock mms app and chomp sms. no go. it was working fine yesterday and then all of a sudden it stopped working. through chomp sms it states to check my pan settings. i tried changing my port from 80 to 8080 and nothing. i don't think i have any adblocks installed unless it came with towleroot. but i have not dl any adblock apps. can anyone help me on this. this is very frustrating for me. I'm assuming it has to do root because my wife has no issues with her mms but she is not rooted. any help is greatly appreciated. i was using an iPhone 5 previously and made sure my iMessage was off
Is anyone else having MMS issues? I can never get MMS messages to send. Its rather annoying. I've heard of people adding a custom APN but my button to add an APN is greyed out.
The only thing I can do is toggle airplane mode a few times to get the messages to go through but it doesn't always work
Went to the sprint store today and they were baffled.
I have. New update 5/11 should take care of that. If you clear your cache it will take care of it.
Worked great man. Cleared cache on hangouts and MMS service seemed to do the trick

that's what i did after update picture would not go through and text takes a long time to send
cleared app cache and data
all is right in the world with sms
I have had a similar issue and it was fixed by turning wifi off and the message would send
My APN settings can't be edited. It doesn't let me edit, only create NEW APN's. I have my MSL and still cant change my APN settings. I could use the hotspot on the S6 SM-G925P. I'm currently non-rooted due to the recent 5.1.1 Firmware version update. Thanks.
There has always been an issue with sprint phones + Google Hangouts + MMS. For some reason hangouts will only send and receive MMS over data. If you want to test it connect to wifi, try to send an MMS over hangouts (notice that your data icon in the top bar will show). If you have poor data reception your MMS might not even send and the phone radio can get very hot. Now disable hangouts and use the stock messaging app to send an MMS. Notice that the MMS sends fine over wifi and does not activate your data.
I really love hangouts, but the inability to send and receive MMS over wifi is a deal breaker for me. Turning on data every time I get an MMS is a battery killer for me. I doubt Google/sprint will ever address this issue as it has been going on since hangouts released when I had an S2.

My experience has been the same since S2 also. Read all the MMS threads. Tried all kinds of changes to APNs. Most of the time I was running CM and blamed it for the issues. Finally tried Textra to find no problems with MMS. My conclusion was Hangouts. You can follow this Google thread if you have a couple hours to spend. All breeds of Hangouts users with same problem, with very little response from Google. My hope was for Hangouts to be for Android what imessage is to IOS. No such luck, but still hopeful. Until then, I use Textra with no problems.
I've been attempting to use XHangouts and the APN splicing feature to get Hangouts 4 to send / receive MMS through my carrier number, and no dice. Has anyone gotten this working on the Sprint S6? I'd, in theory, love to be able to use Hangouts for both the new Voice group chatting AND normal MMS functions but it seems like I can either downgrade to Hangouts 3 or deal with using another SMS client for carrier MMS.
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?
