Hey guys so I went from an iPhone 4s to Galaxy S4. I disabled iMessenger on my iPhone already. I activated a new Sim card for the S4. I can receive pictures but I cannot send them. Why is this so?

I have this same problem. Well mine gets "server response error" I called Tmobile for my problem and they made me reset apn and made me reset my connection to the closest tower around my area. And then after that he couldn't me but to send a engineer to check the towers around here and he said he would call me back in 3 days today is the 2nd day. But my brother's phone sends just fine and we are on same plan.
Edit: I also had the s3 before this s4 and it had the same problem so I think it must be a problem with my phone line. I been looking up other ways to fix this and all the forums I tried, nothing worked.

If your s3 did it as well, I would try a new sim card (if you haven't already).

Yeah I got a new sim when the phone came in and I activated it hoping it would work but it didnt. Today is the 3rd and last day for him to call back I doubt the Tmobile guy will though for news on it.

I have Mobile Data turned on in settings ... Data Roaming Checked. APN is fast.t-mobile.com
Network mode is LTE / GSM / WCDMA (auto connect)
Auto network operators...
For some reason I don't see 4G or anything next to my full network bars?
My phone is rooted... does that screw it up?
I had to manually add a new APN, and then manually add the APN settings in GoSMS Pro to get it to send MMS for me.

Also I have to be off of WiFI for it to send MMS. I have to manually turn off WiFi and then once on mobile data again I can send the MMS with no issues. Hope this helps. My phone is rooted as well, but it wasn't sending the MMS even before I rooted.

This makes no sense to me, I can't be on WiFi at all if I'm sending MMS to anyone.
s4
happens to me as well?
Send a pic to your phone from your Gmail. [email protected]. It will work with wifi calling after that.
It has to be from the Gmail your logged into your phone with. Unknown why this fixes it but it does.
I just got the Note 3 (unrooted/stock) on T-Mobile and can't seem to send MMS. Anyone have a solution for this? I downloaded Tweakker and the APN settings it gives me seem to be exactly what it's set to already.

Nope. New number from them.
Solved it!
Original APN name was T-Mobile US LTE
Added new APN
changed name to T-Mobile LTE
apn - same as before
mmsc - same as before
changed apn type to- default,mms
Basically the only difference was taking out "US" from the original. MMS and Internet working fine now.

a few questions:
1) where are you located? Country/state/city/neighborhood (if applicable)
2) You only removed the "US" from the "Name" field?
3) What was populated in the APN Type field before you changed it?
I ask because my mms sendign has been on and off and im trying to narrow down whats up.
thanks!

1) USA/AZ/Phoenix/Ahwatukee
2) Yup!
3) The APN had another abbreviation in there. I cannot recall. Something like "ss"
Are you using a third-party app to send? Like GO SMS Pro? I know that when my MMS was intermittent on my Galaxy Note 2, I had to go into the settings on GO SMS Pro and adjust some settings.
Follow my direction here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46316415&postcount=7
I think whats solving the issue is changing the APN Protocol and APN roaming protocol to IPv4/IPv6. Thats what did it for me, everything else is the same to the default APN.

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)
Is anyone else having issues with MMS not sending or receiving on T-Mobile? I noticed that the APN isn't editable on this phone.
If I switch to airplane mode and back, it will send or receive the stalled message, but will stop working after that.
Any ideas?

Make up an APN name with just the name and apn filled in with something random. Save that APN. Next go back and edit that APN with the one you need and select it. That's how I fixed my APN.

Thanks I'll give that a try.
It's odd because it was fine ob my OG Pixel XL. I had this issue with the 6P and it was later fixed with an update.
It could just be carrier issues in my area too I guess...
Mine works fine.
You should try Textra. The king of all texting apps
On OG Pixel now. Was really confused when I got it last month. I'm used to making one default APN, but Pixel on Oreo had 5. Is 2 the same? All of my attempts at using advertised Tmob APN broke something. I actually think all 5 APN are needed for VOLTE, WiFi Calling, Messaging over WiFi (IMS), and international roaming. Try the three dots and reset to default.
Also under dialer settings *#*#4636#*#*, phone info, 3 dots, IMS Service Status.....you can check status.
If I deleted those weird APN's it would break IMS.

Did you ever figure out a solution to this? It seems like (from what I read on reddit) that Google Messenger does not like the fact that T-Mobile uses multiple APN settings.
I found if I created a new APN entry with these settings, http://www.4gtricks.com/2017/10/t-mobile-apn-settings-google-pixel-2-XL.html?m=1, that solved the MMS issue. But every time the phone is restarted or the radio toggled with airplane mode, the phone sets itself back to the default APN setting that cannot be edited. That's incredibly annoying.
I then found (from this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/77c1dj/android_tethering_and_apn_carrier_config/) that if I set the MVNO type in the APN I created to "GID" that the default T-Mobile settings disappeared and only my custom APN was there, so I didn't have it resetting with every restart.
But I'm worried based on what others said here that this may break VOLTE or wifi calling or cause issues with roaming on T-Mobile (if it thinks I'm an MVNO customers). So I'd rather just be able to edit the default APN. Even with root, I can't seem to find any posts about how to do this.
[Edit, I seem to have found a solution (working so far), which I explain here: https://productforums.google.com/d/msg/phone-by-google/RNDSr05hUQ4/GPbYF3GYAgAJ.]

Thanks for this. Yes, I'm still having problems. I was in a week long conversation with T-Mobile about it and they couldn't figure it out either. At one point they suggested a signal booster (???) The odd part is that it only happens when I'm at work. It works fine everywhere else. The bad part is I get most of my MMS when I'm working...
The only theory I have is that at work we have a series of access points around campus with the same SSID instead of a mesh network. Maybe MMS gets screwed up somehow when jumping across access points.
I will give your suggestion a try and see if it helps.
I found that my mms didn't work because of my router. I have a netduma router and mms doesn't work when I have turbo mode turned on. I have no idea what turbo mode changes about the network but whatever it does, it screws with mms somehow. Maybe your work network does something similar to netduma's turbo mode.

In the Google Product Forums link I provide there are some other people saying that connecting to certain wifi access points seemed to interfere with their ability to send/recieve MMS. At least one person said it affected MMS even after they disconnected from that access point. And I think some people in that thread, if you read through it, found some solutions. For me, as I explain, also in that thread, my problem did not have to do with wifi and I resolved it by making some changes to my APN settings.
MMS Fix
I have come up with a simple fix! I am fortunate to have access to two Pixel 2s (one XL and one not) and will try this with my wife's (UPDATE: IT WORKS!), but here's the story:
Situation
My wife and I work for the same company and she mainly uses MMS and I don't, but it is happening to both of us after upgrading to Pixel 2s. She has the Pixel 2 and I have the XL. I have done a test where I added my Google Voice number and my wife's number in a group message and tested all sorts of combination of things. Our phone's MMS works on the house Wi-Fi and the mobile network, but not on our work Wi-Fi. I have reset network settings and APN settings back to default, no change. Looking at the APN settings, I realized the two T-Mobile MMS listings have the APN listed as "TMUS," whereas the default APN is listed as "fast.t-mobile.com." Since "TMUS" is not a valid domain name, I changed the first T-Mobile MMS APN to fast.t-mobile.com and MMS started working on Wi-Fi. I reset my APN settings back to default and it stopped working on my work's Wi-Fi again. I thought that I should leave the default APNs alone, just in case and decided to create a third T-Mobile MMS APN with fast.t-mobile.com as the APN. This third T-Mobile MMS APN somehow allows MMSs to work on the company's Wi-Fi.
Fix
Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Mobile network > Access Point Names.
Tap on the 3 dot menu at the upper-right and select "Reset to default."
Create a new APN with the following settings:
Name: T-Mobile MMS
APN: fast.t-mobile.com
Proxy, Port, Username, Password, and Server: Not Set
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc (When typing this in, make sure auto correct doesn't change anything since URLs are case sensitive!)
MMS Proxy and MMS Port: Not Set
MCC: 310 (Should already be set)
MNC: 260 (Should already be set)
APN Type: mms
APN Protocol: IPv6
APN Roaming Protocol: IPv4
Bearer: Unspecified
MVNO Type: None
MVNO Value: Not Set
Tap on the 3 dot menu and select "Save."
Reboot your phone for good measure (may not be necessary) and open Android Messages.
Send a MMS or group MMS on and off the Wi-Fi network you are having issues on to see if it sends. If you have several queued up messages that haven't sent, you may need to tap to resend them and they may become out of order on the recipient's end.
Conclusions
The main thing to note about this is that it is the same as the other T-Mobile MMS APN, but has TMUS replaced with fast.t-mobile.com. If you look at the actual default fast.t-mobile.com APN, you'll notice that "mms" isn't listed among the others in APN Type. I feel, if I could edit that default fast.t-mobile.com APN, the problem would be fixed by adding ",mms" at the end. I assume one could duplicate everything in the default one and add it that way, but I wanted to provide the simplest, non-invasive fix possible that would not result in any future problems. When the phone/Google Messages consults the APNs, I assume it goes through each one to attempt to find one with MMS in the APN type and then attempts to contact the APN via its domain name, but fails since TMUS is not valid. I am not sure why it doesn't go ahead, verifies a working data connection, and then sends the MMS using http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc as it seems to do fine on other Wi-Fi networks. I do not know what makes my company's Wi-Fi different aside from it using EAP authentication and the fact that this problem didn't occur on my wife's previous phone (T-Mo Galaxy S7). I had the 2016 Pixel for a while, but I use Google Voice and would not normally notice the MMS issues. I need to implement this on my wife's phone and if I do not update this post, you should assume it worked (I may just forget to come back).
UPDATE: It works! I followed my own instructions and it works on my wife's Pixel 2 too!
If anyone has a good theory as to wth is going on, please contribute!

That did the trick for me using Textra. I had been using the setting on there to turn off WiFi when I sent or received MMS, but I don't have to do that anymore.
I had the same problem, a simple reset the default apn and restart the phone worked, no need to add anything.

Great! As I mentioned, I had done the same to both phones (actually, even got a different SIM for her phone). Something about being connected to our work's Wi-Fi caused the phones to throw their hands up in the air and refuse to work when no MMS APN with a FQDN was present.
