OK usually when im using wifi, and someone sends me an MMS, it connects to Edge or 3G to recieve the message. Recently my G1 will not connect to Edge or 3G while on Wifi to recieve the picture, and I constantly have to disable wifi and tell the sender to resend it, which is pretty annoying seeing as how if I send an MMS while on wifi, it will connect and send out. Also it takes a while longer than it used to with recieving MMS messages, has anyone else had this issue or is having it?
I'm not but will test when I get home on my wifi
Aight koo, thanks
Hello,
Has anyone ever experienced the inability to download pictures from SMS/MMS while connected to wifi? My buddy can send me a pic via messaging or chomp sms and once it gets to me, usually a long time later, I will get a small, empty chat balloon touch the balloon and it will give me the loading circle for a few minutes and it will eventually stop without dl'ing anything. If I turn off wifi then it will dl within seconds. This is the same on both my phone and my buddy's(captivate) the only difference is I run the Firefly 2.0.5 and he is running stock eclair.
Is this just something that we have to deal with or is there a fix for this?
I did a samsung live chat and the agent said it was the way samsung makes their phones and restrict it to only allow SMS/MMS DL from the carrier signal.
Thanks for any and all help.
mms are done over 3g, are you able to browse the internet on 3g? are your APN settings correct?
I get mms when on wifi too. I was home two days back when I got like 4 sms. And at home I'm always on wifi.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Never had a problem
MMS are only done over your carrier network. To prove this send your self an mms and as it is sending and receiving what your task bar and you will see that your data network connects to download it.
since the phone has to drop the wifi signal and connect to the carrier data signal to send or receive MMS (it might not show in the icon though), yours might be lagging somewhat in doing that...
so when the buddy is on wifi his one does it quicker yes?

Yes can browse the internet while on 3G and WIFI.
I do not know if my APN settings are wrong or right.

No, in reference to the way the devices act both do the same thing. Do not allow you to DL MMS while the WIFI is turned on. neither seems faster or slower it just will not complete the task on wifi.
Thanks to all for the replies

I checked it 2 days back. Even when on wifi, it turns on EDGE/3G, downloads MMS and disconnects it.

So is there a setting that I need to look for that allows for the edge/3g to turn on/off for mms?
Anyone?
Would love to figure this out as it is quite annoying.
I've noticed I can't send mms while wifi is on (regardless of whether data is enabled or not). I can still receive them though.
Is this normal with this phone/verizon? The problem is I can't remember if it ever worked!
I believe I understand what's happening: The server for verizon's mms is not resolvable outside their data network. (Makes sense... keep non-customers from abusing their server.)
But it seems to me the phone ought to be able to resolve the name using the data connection and send it when data is enabled. Instead it seems to attempt to resolve the name using the wifi (which fails) and instead of falling back to data, it just fails to send the message altogether.
This is normal for big red my previous winmobile omnia did same thing
When ever I'm connected to Wifi Calling on my phone I can't seem to send or "download" MMS (Pic, Group, Video, Etc..). By download I mean, my phone can see that I have a new MMS and it prompts me to download it, but it fails. As soon as I turn off Wifi Calling, magically I can send and receive those MMS. I am using hangouts as my primary sms app, I have tried various other 3rd party apps, all of which end in the same result. I can send and receive voice calls and sms perfectly fine.
I have the same issue.
I recently upgraded to Lollipop and now anytime wifi is turned on and connected I'll run into this when sending texts.
Hi all,
I have been having an issue for a while now where if I am on mobile data (3G/4G) and try to send an MMS or someone tries to send me an MMS my data stops working and the signal indicator gets an exclamation mark (!) on it. This happens on both 3G and 4G. Sometimes I am able to finally get the message by toggling data off and on again multiple (10+) times. I don't get this issue when I am on Wifi.
I have checked the APN settings and they are correct. I have tried different messaging apps and the result is the same.
I am currently running Pac Rom 5.1, Baseband version is i9295XXUAMI2. I have re-flashed the rom several times and done all the wipes.
I am thinking my best bet is to flash a new modem over the top to see if that fixes it.
Any suggestions?
Anyone? Please? It's really annoying.
