Been working on this issue on and off for a couple days and thought it was time to ask the pros. I can send/rec sms messages with no problems. But if someone sends me a mms it has the download button but the picture will not download. I have double checked my APN settings and they match what Straight Talk says to use. This in an unlocked GNEX from the play store with the AT&T/Unlocked sim card they send out.
Thanks
this happens to me quite often but usually only on wifi or if the person decides to send like 5 pics at once, otherwise it will download the attachment just fine.
In the apn listing under MMSC, there is a line starting http://. Make sure the line starting with http:// has all the correct info. If not correct info press menu to see option to save changes.
My settings say http://mmsc.cingular.com

make sure the proxy line starts with proxy, also try erasing the cingular apn setting the phone comes with.
My Unlocked Play Store Galaxy Nexus is doing the same thing on Straight Talk. Tried messing with putting the proxy back in and also turning off Wifi. Still the same issue as OP.
My first day with Straight talk and I'm having the same issue with MMS. All settings are right but I can't send out MMS
Hey guys. Make sure this is all correct too. I was getting very disappointed with Straight Talk about this. Somehow this got erased or reset having never entered that menu.

P.S. I use Google Voice now but I still receive MMS from straight talk regarding my bill. I got sick of entering all of the APN. Now I only include
Straight Talk
att.mvno
Thats it. Works like a charm. Have never had any issue. I've only been distributing my Google Voice number for about 2 years having frequently shopping carriers. But like I said I still receive MMS from Straight Talk.
Last week, my Nexus S bricked up on me, so I sent it off for repair and got a shiny new Galaxy S2 (T989D, from Koodo.)
I can't really afford a data plan in addition to cell and texting service, so on my Nexus (even with ICS installed) I edited my APN type to only include mms (I think the two I got rid of were "default" for internet, and "supl" which I think was for GPS or some such.)
However, on my S2, when I try to edit the APN settings, I cannot change the default APN for some reason. I can however add a new APN, but when doing so, I have 3 options for APN type, "Internet + MMS," "Internet," and "MMS." When selecting the first two, everything works fine, and I can select my custom APN information.
However, when choosing "MMS" by itself to prevent data charges, I save the APN, and when I try to select it, there is no ability to do so. I can't link a screenshot, but I attached one that demonstrates what I'm talking about. The two Internet APNs can be selected, but the MMS ones have no selection circle (finding this image makes me feel like I'm missing something.)
Next to any APN I set to MMS only, regardless of any other information in any other field, there is no selection circle. All I have to do to get one is set the APN type to "Internet + MMS" or "Internet," and it will appear and I can select it as normal. If it matters, I have root access.
Apologies if I'm missing something obvious, or if this is a common question. I've searched all over the internet, tried many different strings in this specific forum, and given a quick search in the T989 development forum, to no avail. I'm going to call my provider (Koodo) tomorrow, but I figure they'll just act dumb if they aren't. I'd really like to be able to send picture messages but cannot afford a data connection, so any help that could be provided would be greatly appreciated!
EDIT: I think this would be better off in the Q&A forum, apologies if so, I cannot see a way to send it there now.
I have the same problem with my Nexus S. It almost seems as they don't want us using just MMS alone. For example you can't change APN settings programmatically with ICS and it doesn't seem to allow an APN type of MMS only!?
Wait I think I just figured it out! Yeah!
I had in the APN type just mms but when I put mms, (comma) it gave the the option to choose it!
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.

Did you port a number? The port may not be fully complete.

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.

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.

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.

Please provide me the details of all the APN fields for the T-Mobile APN I should be using on a Pixel 2 XL. I'm also having issues sending MMS messages and I'd like to verify the APN fields with somebody here who has theirs working. Please let me know, thanks.

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.
I keep getting notifications of MMS failures... when trying to retrieve and trying to send. When this occurs, I check the APN listing and notice instead of just one APN, my carrier's APN has been automatically duplicated and sometimes triplicated but with missing info in the new APNs such as maybe the MMS proxy or the port will be missing from these new automatically added APN entries - and also the phone has automatically changed to one of the new "bad" APNs. I delete the "bad" APNs, leaving the "good" one and everything works. Few hours later, it does it again. And sometimes it won't do it again at all until I reboot the phone. I just had to go through the process of deleting two new "bad" automatic APN additions because an MMS I was trying to send failed. Checked the APN list and sure enough, the phone had triplicated my carrier's APN and changed itself to use one of those. Deleted both of them and MMS working again. This is really getting annoying. I'm on Cricket Wireless (owned by AT&T using AT&T towers). I just did the Network Settings Reset and when I did that, once it reset everything, sure enough there were two APNs listed for my same carrier and one of them was missing the MMS proxy address. I selected the "good" one and sent a test MMS and it failed. I went back into the APN list and deleted the "bad" one, retried the MMS and it worked.
I'm also not receiving mms but I am on Sprint. How did you access the apn list?
I'm seeing the exact same behavior on my mother-in-law's new Pixel 2 on Cricket. My wife and I both have Pixel 2 XLs on Cricket. I see the duplcation/triplication on our phones as well, but so long as the correct APN is selected, MMS messages send. On the Pixel 2, I also have to delete the "bad" APNs that are missing the MMS proxy and port in order to get MMS to work.
Are these APNs pulled from the SIM or does the SIM connect to Cricket and then download APN information? I'd just like to know if this is a Google problem or a Cricket problem.
Definitely seems to be an issue with Cricket. I've since left Cricket and went to Google's ProjectFi. No problems now and using the Pixel 2 XL's eSIM. I posted about the issue on Google's Help Forums and see there's others having the same issue, all with Cricket. Could be Cricket's SIM cards, could be the Pixel not reading them correctly.
https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/phone-by-google/s8ABqw0ZA-o
I kind of figured the post on the Google forums was you as well. Unfortunately, Project Fi service doesn't work well enough where I live to be an alternative. Sprint and T-Mobile are pretty much worthless here. I've opened an escalated case with Cricket. I was told I'd hear something back in 3-5 days. I'll let both forums know what I hear back. Glad I'm not alone on this one.

Me too on cricket. I don't think that the APN's are coming from the SIM directly, because I'm using the same SIM I used on my 6P, and it updated to the proper APN over the network when the SIM was inserted into it.
I'm guessing we could go into a Cricket store and get a new SIM if needed? Carrier should definitely have to fix this one. But like you, once fixed mine stays good...

After more experimenting, I have found that this does in fact affect both of the Pixel 2 XLs as well. I don't notice it on my phone because I use Google Voice for my texting which doesn't depend on the carrier's APN settings. Basically, if more than one APN exists and one of them is missing MMS settings such as the MMS proxy and MMS port, MMS does not work. This is true regardless of which APN is chosen as the active APN. If the "good" APN is chosen, but the "bad" APN still exists on the phone, MMS does not work. My phones will hold their settings until they reboot the next time at which point they will redownload the duplicate and bad APN data which will break MMS again.
Samething here but now with 8.1. I have to delete the 2 automated APN's and add a manual one. The manual one is the same info as one of the ones I deleted. After I reboot the APN is set on my manual one but it added the 2 other ones and then I can't send any pictures until I delete the 2 automated ones...WTF!!!!! Things I've done, flashed September, November and December images multiple times, tried different kernels, rooted/unrooted, both unlocks and re-locked, deleted and edited the 3 APN.xml files in system/etc, edited the the file in framework/res but it gave me errors when pushing back to the phone. The sim works fine in nexus 6 and 6p. If this is crickets problem it will never get fixed. So looking at Plan B. Stop the phone from adding APN's. If anyone has any info on how to stop the adding of APN's. You will save my sanity lol.
