Running stock and unmodified edge.
No updates to uninstall. Don't want to uninstall and reinstall.
Searched around and found that the app has some issues with apn's, and that it's a Google issue but could not find an apn workaround.
It was fine a month ago, had sent some images to wife's note 4 that I had downloaded from Google images, still having the same images in the gallery I tried resending images, but now it fails to send, WiFi or regular data.
Size of image makes no difference, small, med, or large it doesn't want to send any image just text.
I can receive any image or video, not a problem receiving, just sending, even images that get sent to me thru messenger I can't send.
Any help will be appreciated. ?

Could it be sim card related?

No it was not sim card related, it was apn settings needed to be changed.
Don't know why but that's what fixed it.

hi guys, I flashed my phone to JM7 2 days ago. Everything works fine and the phone is a lot faster. BUT, when sending out emails by the Gmail app, it delays for up to a few hours... I tried WIFI, 3G, with/without attachment, to different address, all delays.
The samsung email app works fine, it sends out when you press send. (I assume that is from samsung which is called 'Email', the icon is an envelopewith a green @).
Anybody please help.
Thanks.
Go to Settings/Applications/Manage Applications, then Menu/Filter/All.
Find Gmail and Gmail Storage, clear data/clear cache for both. Reboot the phone.
Then it'll need to resync with Gmail. Sending should work as normal after that.
This is usually only a problem if you've done a restore of some sort after updating the firmware. Sometimes changing SIM cards can also cause the same problem.
Working just fine here, I don't think this has something to do with JM7. I don't have any plausible theory to offer instead though, sorry.
JM7, GMail works just fine for me.

It worked! Many many thanks!
Hey guys, I've searched for solutions to this issue and nothing seems to work.
Anytime I send an mms it just sits on the ticker saying "sending" but never actually accomplishing anything and when I receive an mms I am unable to download it.
I have been told it may be my APN or my RIL.
I have tried multiple settings for APN but not sure if I am using the correct ones. I just reflashed the newest radios for TORO (description in my sig) but that helps nothing, still cannot send or receive mms.
If someone could give me a hand on how to correctly set my APN for Verizon or how to get/flash the correct RIL (if there even is one for an LTE phone), I would be very greatful.

I am having the exact same problem as dank. My phone is setup identical to his - VZ GNEX (Toro), PA 2.99.9r9, same radios, same recovery, less the kernel (I still have the stock kernel). I tried a few things including *22890 to update PRL (now 52996) and *22891 to update programming OTA. Neither of these worked. In fact my 3g/4g connectivity is weaker since the PRL & Programming update and I still can't send or receive MMS messages.
Anyone else having this MMS problem?

I backed up my "internal" SD card and formatted my phone. I adb pushed the latest PA & Gapps to the phone and installed both. I connected to wifi and logged in to my Google account. Then I had my GF send me an MMS message with a picture attached. I received it almost immediately even connected to my wireless router. I will see if I can figure out what the heck I am restoring that is causing MMS to break. I use Titanium Backup to restore my apps + data and I use it to restore just a few things in system data.
Is it better to use Google Play to backup/restore my apps and use TB to restore my app data only?

Thanks for the tip I will check out MyBackup Pro.
Just to let you know, my phone stopped receiving MMS after I restored an SMS backup from the app SMS Backup & Restore. It stopped receiving MMS in both Handcent and the default messaging client. I am going to double check that this caused my issue and post back here in a bit.
My Gnex
Android: 4.2.1
Baseband: I515.10 V.FF02 / I515.FG02
Kernel: 3.0.331-gd5a18e0android (stock)
ROM: PA 2.99.9-PIE
Edit: So far I have done a fresh install (data format) and restored apps, settings, data, etc step by step. Each time I checked MMS from my GF's phone. I skipped restoring Handcent app & data via Titanium Backup and restored my SMS messages with SMS Backup Restore. So far, MMS is functioning just fine in both Handcent and the default Android messaging app even when I am on wifi. At this point, it seems that merely restoring the Handcent App and/or data via Titanium Backup was breaking MMS on my phone.
Edit 2: I carefully restored everything on my phone and I can still send/receive MMS messages even on wifi. As I mentioned in my previous edit, I did not restore the Handcent app or Handcent data. That seems to be the cause of my MMS woes.
I cant get handcent to send mms for nothing, but stock up works fine, but it sucks thou

No issue on any 4.2 roms and mms for me, i only use google to restore with, and NEVER data

I am having the same MMS issues. I am currently on PA 2.99.9_PIE 4 and am going to jump to PA 2.99.9_PIE 6 this afternoon or evening; so I will do a full wipe then not restore Handcent with TB. I will pull it down from the Play store instead. I will update with my findings; hopefully I will also come to find that my issues were a result of restoring Handcent with TB.
***Update***
Turns out the issue was Handcent related. Haven't tried sending MMS while on WiFi (work WiFi sucks), but a picture went through over LTE without any difficulty whatsoever (honestly can't remember the last time it went that quickly). Only downside is that I'm no longer using Handcent. Oh well, at least the stock messaging is a lot better now than the last time I used it.
If you're using a third party app such as GoSMS, manually input your APN settings in GoSMS.
Did u try GETril? Tried everything else including ROM/kernel revert to stock 4.2.1. Followed instr. (carefully) then SMS to myself and all is good. Get it on PlayStore....
Thanks guys for all your help, I am now using a custom stock Mms.apk and everything sends and receives perfectly. The issue was 3rd party apps, Handcent for me.
After using the stock modified Mms.apk I really like it much better than Handcent or Chomp, much smoother.
Hey guys I'm normally a lurker here. I'm just curious if anyone else is having the same issue. Basically in a jt shell my phone will only and an mms picture until the phone reboots. So basically I go to send a picture and just sits there. Email is fine and once the phone is rebooted it sends it to my work phone. I have checked all the apn settings and even reset them. I've done everything and even Google the issue. I'm fairly certain that it isn't the area of coverage as I've been to Dallas a few times to test that out. Very odd. Any suggestions other than warranty exchange. Lol the main reason I don't want to exchange alor wipe again as I've wiped and it doesn't correct plus in have a great final fantasy game going lol. I'm 32 lol.
have you tried clearing the messenger app cache? Have you tested on wifi and data? Do you have a limit size set for mms? Is this a stock messenger app and is it set to be the default for mms
Hi everyone hope I can get some help. Couldn't find anything in the forum relating directly to my issue. So I purchased the Verizon note 4 and I'm using it on GSM network in Ireland. I'm not sure if that is the reason for this issue or something else? Anyway in the default msg app and Verizon msg app I cannot reply to a msg directly, I have to go back and start a new msg everytime. It's frustrating more than anything. I can reply when using whatsapp so it's obviously something related to the stock apps. I haven't tried hangouts yet but that may work also. I'd prefer to use the stock or Verizon app. I have restarted the phone, cleared data and cache of the apps. The phone was factory reset when I got it so don't feel this is an option? Any help greatly appreciated. Android 5.0.1, 32Gb Verizon version.
I can't understand why that would be. I can suggest turning your data connection on while texting. I have issues receiving images and sending images via text without data enabled.
I am able to text images to people and they get them with issues. If anybody sends me one it didn't come thru. There is a link that says download and I get a busy cursor and it never downloads. I have tried clearing the cache and clearing the data for the stock messages app. I have tried using Google messages and the same thing happens. Any ideas how to fix this?

Did you check your APN settings and make sure they are right?
Check the APN setting for your carrier, I've had same problem in the past and it was always a problem with the APN setting.
It was working fine until Friday. I will check the apn and see though
It was working fine until Friday and didn't make any apn changes. I just looked and the settings all are what they should be. Sorry for the double pay. My app didn't refresh properly

Are you using a custom DNS entry or some sort of DNS changer? This can and does on occasion break MMS capabilities. I have had this problem and by disabling the custom entry (or app) MMS returns to normal.
Did you do anything or make any changes to or with the phone at all prior to MMS not working?
You could also contact your provider and see if they have any seevice problems or issues. It is possible that there maybe a problem on the providers end.. either provisioning, account setting or something else.
They also may need to refresh the device on the network, sometimes when things like that happened to me this usually solved it.
Two other things you can try and/or check.
If your roaming or not. Depending on the provider and plan you might not be able to send mms while roaming. Either they do not offer data use while roaming, or else a data limit is in use (and you hit that limit).
Try resetting the network settings. On your phone it would be under settings > General Management > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This will rest all the network settings back to default. Only draw back to this is any saved bluetooth devices and WIFI access points will be lost, so you will have to enter them in again.
I had an issue with mms once too and no matter what i did it wouldnt correct itself. Even factory reset. I changed the sim card to a new one and it worked. Dont know why but it worked. If you have an extra one try that.
I had the same exact issue! It started around Oct. 11th. I didn't even know that I was missing images from friends...they thought I was ignoring their texts. This problem was driving me nuts. I had been searching everywhere for answers and can't believe you described the same exact problem.
I'm on an Unlocked N10+ & I flashed the ATT firmware months ago and thought this might have something to do with it. I never owned an Unlocked phone before. Turns out that it was my own user error -->
I hadn't changed any of the APN settings. I was using Pulse SMS, tried Google Android Messages then the stock SMS app. No luck. I reset the network settings around 4 times. I thought this was the fix because it seemed to work for awhile but only with the stock messaging app. New images came in at first & I could only retrieve those older missing photos for the current day. The missing images were all listed as Unknown Caller. Later on in the day, I wasn't receiving images again...in any SMS app.
I was going to restore/reset my phone today but before that I started backing items up and checked my backed up SMS messages and the 2 recent ones said Oct. 31st!!!. WTH!?!
I then went into my Date/Time settings, I toggled the switch on and off again for the Automatic Date and Time. Re-selected my Time Zone and made sure that the Date and Time were accurate. They weren't...
I'm sure that this is where I screwed everything up because I had set my date (a couple of times in the past few weeks) ahead 5 days to see if I'd get the latest software/firmware update. I forgot to switch something back to my usual (and accurate) date & time setting which includes setting my time zone.
So far, this process seemed to work. I'm once again getting SMS/MMS images and videos within Pulse SMS.
