Changing the MMS server setting on Sense is pretty easy and straight forward but I've yet to figure out how to get it working on AOSP.
I've searched everywhere and tried every setting available and I still can only receive pictures but not send them. I've tried editing the APN's through the voice command, I've tried apps from the market and no matter what settings I try, I can't send a MMS message.
Has anyone been able to figure out how to do this without using a 3rd part SMS app?
people have claimed to of been able to get it working with apn restoring but I've only been able to get it working with go messenger
they claimed if you backed up the apn settings in a Sense ROM and restored that same backup in an AOSP ROM the default messanging client would work with mms, I never got it to work.
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?
So first let me say I have searched multiple sites and fourms on this question. Issue seems to be intermittent Mms wokrs perfectly when phone is initially power cycled. After a few messages mms or not then mms pictures stops working. The bizarre thing is I still get messages in mms format sent and received instantly. Gifs/pics is the issue only. I have checked the apn settings for the phone and textra and they match. I even tried "8080" for the port in both textra and the network settings. Issue seems to only happen after phone has ran for 45+ minuets. Please help as I use group messaging for a lot of my clients and friends. Thanks in advance.
P.s. I have the jedi x20 rom installed. I'll also be at work until 3 pm central time so I might not be able to try suggestions until then.
Double check the apn settings within system settings as well. Also make sure that 'activate mobile data' and use mms for group chats are on
Am I the only person experiencing MMS problems? I have always had MMS problems, pictures won't download, MMS won't send. I have been running mostly CM or other custom roms on my S4 for several years. I attributed my problems to the custom roms, maybe APN problems. I have been running stock OE2 for a couple days on my S6, and have already had similar MMS problems. Is this just the way it is on Sprint or do I have a fundamental problem with the app I am using? I have been using Hangouts. Is there something better or is this the best I can expect? All my family members have iPhones and never have any MMS problems. Not going there, but I am pretty feed up with Sprint, android, or Hangups MMS problems.
Hey I was just about to post something about this. I believe the issue is with googles messaging apps (Hangouts or messenger). For some reason both of these apps are determined to use mobile data to send MMs. This often times flat out doesn't work and you end up with MMS messages not coming through. Even when you are connected to wifi it will still try and send the MMS over mobile data.
However if you use the stock samsungs stock messaging app MMS sends MMS over wifi and is much better at sending and receiving over mobile data.
I am not sure why this is happening. Probably something with APNs. If anyone has any suggestions on how to make googles messaging apps work well with MMS let us know !

@balistic2 thanks. I really like Hangouts, but don't like the MMS issue. I am going to switch to stock Samsung for awhile to see if it is any better.
Ya hangouts is great b/c is puts all your gchats and text into one conversation. However when I get an MMS it is awful.

Not if it is a hangouts issue. No problems so far on stock messenger, but too early to tell.
Ya something in Hangouts/Google Messenger doesn't use the correct APNs. To try it yourself get on wifi. Send an MMS with the samsung stock messaging app. Watch to see if your mobile data becomes active. (it shouldn't b/c you are on wifi). Now do the same thing with hangouts/Google Messenger while on wifi. Does your mobile data turn on when trying to send a MMS via a google app?

True!
I highly recommend Textra. Can't recommend it enough actually. It's smooth, pretty, and works with MMS over WiFi. Set it up like this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9pwu3qth7x6rvxk/Screenshot_2015-07-11-10-50-45.png?dl=0

Thanks. Will give it a try.
Hi
I had the same issues as every one with not being able to send or receive mms.Believe me when i say i tried everything out there to no avail
My solution/problem was a very easy fix (after weeks of trial and error)Go to settings then data usage then turn mobile data on
you should see a graph with your usage.All you do is adjust your data usage to say 9 gig or something high and that is it
What i can gather why this works is because if your data is set at say 2 gig it restricts what can be downloaded ie mms
Good luck i hope this helps
Also try calling: ##update#
This will update your PRL and such, it could help

Been using Textra for a long time... It is probably the best app out there.
Hello. I got my mom a OP3, as an upgrade from her Nexus 5. A couple problems surfaced and I haven't been able to solve them.
1. She cannot receive MMS messages. I understand this has to do with APN settings, but we're both on ST AT&T, and have been for years, and I've updated the APN settings on her OP3 to be the same as what we've both been using for a few years, and picture messages still don't come through. Instead, she gets a message telling her to 'Tap to download'. I cannot find anything in Hangouts' or Google's Messenger's settings menus that are wrong. I have auto-retrieve MMS toggled on, and having roaming (although that's not the case) enabled in the phones Cellular data settings.
2. Messenger keeps taking over as the default SMS app. She uses Hangouts for SMS/MMS, and every time I pick up her phone, it's back to being Messenger as the default SMS app. I went in and disabled Messenger in an attempt to get it to stick.
Any ideas on these two problems?
If you go into messenger, click on the 3 dots, then go to advanced, and you should see an option in there to automatically download MMS messages. As for the APNs, have you tried searching to see if there is an updated one?

As stated in the OP, I've already set Messenger and/or Hangouts to automatically download pictures. There isn't an updated APN that I know of. I am using the same APN settings on ST and I'm able to get mms and pictures just fine.
Am I really the only one seeing these problems?
For messenger go to your profile > sms > turn off the sms in messenger.
