Why can't I receive or send mms when WiFi is connected. I didn't have this issue on sprint. It sucks cause I have to turn off WiFi and then it has to connect to edge then eventually on 4g before i can get or send my mms quicker. I have to use WiFi a lot on this device so I don't go over my cap so I need to have WiFi on at home and work. Very frustrating.

This happens on and off on my Amaze. I just think it doesnt work that well in general with tmo
My wife can't download mms on WiFi with at&t
I have the same problem with Verizon.
MMS are the texts with data right? Yeah I noticed I can't send with just wifi.
Normal text are fine.
AT&T btw for the XDA app users.
Edit: I noticed you said at all when I reread it. I can send em fine with wifi enabled but I have to have mobile network enabled as well.
Maybe this is more common than i thought.
MultiMediaMessages needs your data access to send. WiFi will not work.
Happened on my cousin's AT&T galaxy s ii when he didn't enable data

You youre right that it does need data but I think what its supposed to do is switch to mobile network real quick and send/receive then revert back to wifi. The issue is its not doing this on my Tmobile s3.
Edit: Ran a few more test. Had my gf send me 2 mms while I was on wifi and I was able to recieve 1. But other I couldnt receive. It may have something to do with my data connection as I get 50% edge. I have a feeling that when its on edge while wifi is on that it cant DL the mms but on 4g while wifi is on it will work. I need to run a test outdoor where I get full 4g but still connect to wifi.
Same issue here, on simple mobile, I will assume is GS3 MMS bug and when you do receive MMS, it's pretty small
Just use gmail.
People really need to start using email in lieu of mms, the pictures don't get distorted, it sends/receives faster, handles much larger files
I don't know why people even use mms anymore. Everything should be done in email.

Life is about choices, you like email and others prefer MMS, we are using GS3 & others prefer what they like. Email, MMS, WhatsApp, ChatOn etc is matter of preference

Yes, you're right. Life is about choices.
Just like people can "choose" to drive 3,000 miles instead of taking a flight. Or they can "choose" to ship via snail mail instead of UPS.
Doesn't mean their choices and/or preferences aren't ineffective or moronic, or that people want to hear them whine about the "choices" they make.
Aside from that, it doesn't look like it's a "choice" on Wifi. So you can choose to send an email and be done with it, or choose to whine and stomp your feet on xda which has virtually no effect on the situation other than rounding up other whiners.
It's like people complaining about using Blu-Ray and complaining they can't stream VHS to their phone
You can send and receive mms on wifi. I have done it. No data.

Nope. Stock rooted. I will tell you that there are times when it won't send our receive mms or sms, but if I restart it works again. It never works 100%.

Tmobile only allows sms/mms to send over their network. Ive heard in the past that either mods or some 3rd party apps can accomplish sending over wifi, but im not sure.

Really? I did not know that. I dont use wifi calling and when its on it always seemed to give me problems with messaging. I'd just turn it off an move on so I coulda been easily missing something.
Still, good to know how its supposed to work! Thanks!

mms thru wifi and gosms dont mix. try handcent instead. works great, but you have to be on wifi calling for it to work

Makes me wonder if itd be possible to force it to activate wifi calling and send the message? Kind of like its supposed to do now with data. Gonna have to look into that.
Add it to my list!

I think Wi-Fi calling makes it work like mentioned above. But, at the same time, I know I had issues with doing it at one point with this phone.

Go SMS will send/receive mms when connected to Wi-Fi but not if you have Wi-Fi calling also on. Not sure there's a way around this. However the stock messaging app works on wifi even with Wi-Fi calling on. But even with the issue I still prefer to use go SMS pro over stock or handcent mainly due to it's iPhone mms group chat capabilities. Handscent seems to have a lot of issues with this feature.

Yeah thats annnoying as hell! Had that problem on my old mt3gs but tmobile fixed it pretty quick with an update. I thought it had been fixed but apparently theyve only fixed the bug where mms wouldnt send at all if wifi was active. Pretty sure there's a fix but I haven't found it yet.

Other solution
you could always use textplus instead. its an app that lets u send and recieve free texts and mms over a data network or wifi. it even gives u a number to match your area code. just a suggestion

Before the H2 update mms didn't really work over wifi calling. One of the first things I noticed when I got the phone. Since the H2 update dropped I haven't had any issues

Bone stock should be able to send/receive mms over wifi calling. If you are using a ROM I have no idea, you'll have to reach out to the developer of your ROM. If you have done the mods to enable group mms, you'll have to revert back to your stock SecMms.apk to send/receive via wifi calling then switch back to your modded SecMms.apk. Unless someone has made a fix but I haven't been able to find any yet.
I can't figure this out.
I can not send or reciece mms while on edge network. I have full internet that works on edge, i can browse, i can use gmail, i can do everything except send or recieve mms picture messages. They just sit and spin on "sending" Ive used stock texting client, handcent and go sms.
On 3g/hspa everything is fine.
I go to work and my building doesnt let me get 3g, just edge and i cant use mms. Also, im on vacation right now and i get 4 bars of edge service and edge data, but cant use pictures in mms.
I have a galaxy nexus with purity rom and fancy kernal on t-mobile unlimited data plan.
Help please, i can't find any answers that work on the googles.
Nobody else had had this problem?

Ok, 1 last bump in hopes for some insight.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Hi all,
I've had this issue for the entire time I've had my GS3 - on stock or custom roms. Essentially, in order for me to send or receive an MMS message, my wifi has to be off (disconnected) and I have to have data on.
If my wifi is connected and I have mobile data toggled on, mms still doesn't work. On prior phones it would briefly enable 3G to send/receive the MMS, but on the GS3, I have to fully toggle off wifi and make sure 1x/3G is on to MMS.
Any solutions to this? Is there a setting that I'm missing here?
Thanks!
What rom are you on? Because as long as data is on it will work regardless of whether wifi is on or not. I assume from your issue that you are on an aosp rom?

Yes.. id try wiping wiping...then flash a freshly downloaded rom.....i have tried lots of kernals...roms....and i always use wifi here in my house..calls and messages work just fine.... i WILL SAY THIS.. back when i was using froyo.. there was an option to disable data when wifi was in use but i have never seen that on the s3 or any other roms after froyo..
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers ap
Of course you can toggle data off when on wifi. Any phone should be able to do this. I know for a fact the S3 you can togle data off when on Wi-Fi. But regardless as long as your data is on you should be able to send and receive MMS at any time regardless if wifi is on or not.
Now if your using an aosp rom you could have an issue handling the exchange between wifi and data. There is no aosp rom for our device so everything is built on leaks and ports and patched together. So they do have some issues handling the exchange.

MSG & Chubbz v5.0.2
When both Data & Wifi are toggled on (and Wifi is connected), MMS won't send/receive. If Wifi is off and Data is On, then it's fine. It's been this way on both roms I've ever run on my GS3; the current one (listed above & in my sig) and Freeza's GalaxyS Fre3.
Well that has to be a rom issue because stock rom and almost every TW rom will do this no problems. Mine works perfectly on the stock TW rom and on TPR. Unless you have some type of app like juicedefender or something like that which is shutting down your data and it will never recognize the messaging app trying to toggle the data to send an MMS because it happens in a split second.

I just quit running that ROM for the longest time, never once had this problem.
EDIT-I forgot to mention I was using the AOSP messaging app for TouchWiz-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1950443. I would make a backup before you try this, because it replaces the stock messaging app.
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.

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.
