Pixel 2 XL (unlocked) on the T-Mobile network. I can send messages without an issue and everything else works fine, but when I attempt to text pictures or receive them it hangs and eventually comes back stating it couldn't send. This has happened through the messages app and Textra. I was able to send and receive via Chomp, but that's it.
Anybody else see this happening and if so, have you been able to fix it? I've cleared cache and data, restarted the phone and reset defaults for network.
THANKS!!!

I have that issue sometimes on my N6 and 6p and it appears to be the WiFi calling. Turning off WiFi resolves the issue when that happens to me. I also read that 3rd party sms apps can't send mms when WiFi calling is active on t-Mobile. I normally use the stock sms app for this reason.

Yeah, I'm still looking around. Not sure why it's being difficult. Wi-Fi calling doesn't look to be an option that I'm seeing in settings. And I turned off WiFi and it still wouldn't send. But using Chomp it went right through.

WiFi calling needs to be turned on, and the carrier needs to support it. It's under advanced WiFi

Me too. Textra even has a setting that will turn wifi off temporarily when sending or receiving MMS. It's under MMS, then Legacy. Then, there is a toggle to turn wifi off.

Ive seen a few threads about this, as well as several on the TMo boards and other boards about people not being able to send or receive MMS over wifi after the ICS update. I also had this issue and called TMo. I spoke to their 2nd level support, and the solution per Samsung is first send a picture to yourself via gmail (the gmail acct associated with your phone) while on wifi. After you receive it, you should be able to send and recieve MMS over wifi from there on out.
It worked for me, so I thought Id share with you. I cant speak for custom ROMS as Im on stock rooted.
edit: the symptoms I was having was I would send an MMS, and it would sit at sending. If I received an MMS, I got the notification of a new text with a download button. Hit that, and it sits at download. FYI I just checked my wifes SGS2 and she's on Darkside 2.7 and had the same issue. I perfomed the fix above, and now it works. So it appears this fixes the problem on GB as well.
Do you send the picture to yourself through a computer to gmail? Or using the phone to yourself?

So just to make sure, do you send the email to your Gmail address through the messaging app or through the Gmail app? I would love to get my MMS working with the ICS update.
I have tried this several times, doesn't work for me. Any other suggestions?
It might be different for me as well because I am using Straight Talk (on tmobile network) but even if i enable WIFI Calling, it won't work and just shows error.

I have the same issue. For me at least the issue seems to be tied to GOSMS, i tried using HandcentSMS and it worked fine over wifi.
Has anyone had any problems not receiving sms messages until the device is rebooted? There are times where the phone will function just fine until I restart it and see that text messages are flooding in. This is only happening on the Note 3 and not the Nexus 5 which is also under t-mobile.

What did you do
TWEAKED N3
I've noticed if I toggle WiFi calling off instead of reboot, texts will download. The only problem with leaving WiFi calling off, is that MMS/picture messages won't send or receive. Also group messaging will not be in a group thread until WiFi calling is toggled back on.
The obvious questions anyone asks should have the most obvious answer. What is your ROM, KERNEL. what tweaks did YOU improvised

I would look to see if you restricted background data of your sms apps or any sync apps. It sounds like you restricted something hence why it syncs on reboot.
check APN settings

It would not sync on reboot if the apn settings weren't correct if I'm not mistaken
Nothing has been restricted as far as apps go. This is on the stock rom, never rooted 4.4.2 KK. I tried adding APN settings manually, but received same results. If this isn't been an known issue with anyone else, I think a factory reset may be in order.

Try changing your network apn settings to ip v4/v6. I was having the same issues, and this fixed it.

If you recently used an iOS device with the same number you have on your Galaxy Note 3, then reset your iMessage via your Apple account. That should do it.
If it’s a different issue, then I am left to assume what happened to your phone. I don’t even know if you can send a text message just fine or not. But if you can and are using a third-party messaging app, please try disabling it first to see if that would solve the problem. It could be just a little messed up setting.
If, however, you can’t send and receive text messages, call your service provider or carrier first and have your SIM card checked.

Factory reset was not required. I was able to correct this by leaving wifi-calling enabled, but setting the wifi-calling preference to cellular preferred. So far so good, been about a week now with no issues.
I know that the SGS5 received an update recently to fix sms/mms issues, so I don't know if the same would ever be pushed to the note 3.
I have only had my Sprint GNote4 since Friday morning and i love the phone. But, i started having a odd issue today. All of the sudden my phone will not send or receive sms text messages, it just says message failed to send. I am using the stock messaging app, however i also tried hangouts and got the same result. What is even more strange to me is how i get texting to work again. What seems to work is i attempt to make a phone call, it immediately fails, but then on the second attempt the call goes through. ...then my text messages all go through. I apologize if someone has posted this, but i didn't see anything about it when i searched.
Anyone see this issue too or am i just special?

Do you by chance have an airave and live in an area being upgraded? Had that issue where I live. If so, turn off the airave and see if it changes the issue. Sprint has a newer version they will swap out if this turns out to be the problem. Hope this helps.
If you mean the update in the system aettings, yes i did try that. Thanks for replying though.
No, i do not have an airwave, but i do believe i am in an area with Spark, i have the litttle swirling star icon next to my LTE icon. Thanks getting back to me.
Here is what it looks like. Sorry if i sound noobish, i just switched to Sprint.

I am still having the issue, and I also have found that my phone calls are not coming through all of the time. I am starting to suspect my SIM may be the cause. I am currently using my phone with LTE disabled to see how it goes.
Do you have adblock or another ad blocking app installed? If so remove the app and see if that fixes your issues.
No adblock apps installed. It happens on stock and custom roms too.

OK Nexus 5x users. I have searched the web, I've searched the forum, I've searched everywhere I possibly can think of and still can't find a solution. I am on AT&T. I had an iPhone 6s before I bought my Nexus 5x, But from day one I'm not able to receive MMS messages consistently. Everything over 160 characters I don't get. I've tried everything I possibly can find, to no avail. I've messed with APN's, I don't have push bullet installed, I don't have any other text messaging app installed. I still have my iPhone 6s, and I've gone in and disabled face time as well as iMessage and iCloud, so on and so on and so on. I've even tried multiple text messaging apps just to see if that would help. I've installed two different operating systems, however both of them are based on 6.0 .1. For what ever reason no matter what I try no matter what I mess with I can't get any text message that are 161 characters or more to come through. When I reset phone to stock, I can get them to come through for about one minute and then I no longer can get them. I don't install any other apps and they just stop coming through. If I put my Sim card back in the iPhone 6s and make a few texts and then disable iMessage and FaceTime and iCloud again, I can get MMS messages for about one minute and then they stop coming through again. I can send MMS messages just fine I just can't receive them. I see multiple posts on the Internet about this issue with marshmallow. It seems like everybody is able to solve it, "but me". Does anybody on this forum have any idea what I can do to solve this issue?

I was having mms issues in verizon. Incoming Mms were delayed for days. None of the recommended apn settings helped, switching between messenger and hangouts saw no change, turning wifi on and off, etc.
I set the apn to restore defaults and now it seems to work, when mobile data is on. Doesnt work when just wifi is on.
Question, is mms over wifi even a feature on Verizon? My Galaxy S4 did not send or receive mms if mobile data was off, one annoying feature because I usually just leave wifi on when home.
But then through some verizon update i could send and receive mms with mobile data disabled, I think it would switch mobile data on momentarily when an mms was incoming or outgoing.
So is there a way to get mms to work with mobile data off on the 5X on verizon?

My 5X does not send mms with mobile data turned off. My S3 was exactly the save before this phone. I'm on Verizon, stock rooted with Ex kernel installed. This didn't work on stock OOTB either. I get notifications if I receive mms and I just turn on my data at that point to download them, if it isn't enabled.

Yeah maybe a carrier thing, but deffo not the imessage thing usually when that happens the message will send and the end user will not receive it. Or they will be able to send and I will not receive it. And this just started about a month ago, on top of that its only with the google app all other sms apps work fine
Think I am going to get a new sim card and go from there.
Happen to me yesterday. I did come from an iPhone but disabled imessage. Sunday all pictures and messages went through. Yesterday I could receive or send pics. Force closed and wiped the cache of the messaging app. Them contacted Verizon. They did setting on their end and sent me some test pics. Able to open them about an hour later. No issues since.

Go into your default app settings and check what your default SMS/MMS app is?
Might be something other than the app you're using.
Titanium Backup has a bad habit of choosing to be the default app.
As do a few other apps.
I'm on Verizon and that happens sometimes to me. I always thought it was a connectivity issue but if there is a fix I'd love to see it. never had an iPhone.
