Need to disable WiFi to send MMS (VZW)? - Moto X Q&A

Just wondering if anyone else is having issues sending MMS's while connected to WiFi. If I'm connected to WiFi the MMS will continue try and send and eventually timeout and fail. If I disable WiFi prior to hitting send or as it's attempting to send it goes through successfully. The same thing happens whether using the stock messaging app or Hangouts. This behavior started within the past week.
I'm on a Vzw Dev Ed running stock 4.4 with root.
Thanks in advance for the reply.

Solved...
Adblock Plus was the culprit, which makes sense. Running Adaway now with no adverse effects.

Need help with MMS

Hello all,
I have been happily using my Moto X for many months now without any issues. I have a Verizon Dev Edition which is unlocked/rooted with TWRP installed. The only mods are a customer boot logo and animation. I have super SU installed and ADBlock. Otherwise its the stock current OTA rom.
Just yesterday I have developed a new problem. When I am connected to Wifi, I cannot send MMS messages (which is mostly pictures texts and group texts) out. I can however receive them in. When I disconnect from the Wifi (but leaving the Wifi enabled), I can then send MMS messages. I am using the stock Messaging app. I have also tried Hangouts, which has the same problem.
I have been on the internet reading through forums with people that has the same "type" of problems across different devices and networks. So far nothing I have read has fixed my issues. My APN looks to be set up correctly, but even if it wasn't, there is no ability to add/edit anything.
I just called and troubleshooted with Verizon. After numerous different things they finally sent a "network refresh" to the device. Not even this has worked. Their final solution is to do a factory reset on the device. Before I do this I was hoping someone here might know what I could try before I take the plunge.
Please help! Thanks!
Welp. I disabled Adblock Plus and it works again!

I and other people have been suffereing from the same problem, no one has found a fix. there are a few forums and someone suggested using RSD Lite to flash your phone and that wil fix it but I'm not messing with that.
I just refunded my phone. You can post about it on google plus, the motorola engineers are very responsive and way more helpful than customer service!

[Q] Cannot send or receive MMS (possibly since root)

I don't use MMS often, so I can't say for sure root had anything to do with this, but I haven't been able to send or receive MMS messages for a few weeks now. I've looked around for a bit, and the only solution I see is to make sure your data is working and your wifi is off, both of which I've done. If anyone else has been having this problem recently and has been able to solve it, please let me know.

Yes I have this same issue. The only thing other than root that I did was disable CarrierIQ as outlined in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2774730
I can't receive group texts or any MMS for that matter.
My APN is default.
Same problem. Really bugged me bc I usually HATE 3rd party message apps. Gave Chomp SMS a try though and I love it. Made it my default and it is much better than the stock messaging app.
Had the same problem. Was running Textra, and after root, no MMS. Once I deleted AdBlocker, no more issues.

MMS not functioning while on Wifi

I have a weird issue that when my nexus 6 is connected to wifi, it can't send or receive mms messages. In the Google messaging app, it shows mms as failing to download. The second I turn off wifi though, everything goes through, both sending and receiving. My nexus 5 on lollipop had the same issue. Has anyone else on 5.0 experienced this? I couldn't find anything on the AOSP bug list. I am unencrypted, rooted and have TWRP.

That's been my experience with every device I've ever owned on both Sprint and T-mobile. Nothing out of the ordinary there
That's unfortunate. What's weird is that my nexus 5 with kitkat had it working just fine. I guess I'll just hop the wifi calling fixes it whenever that comes out.
My Nexus 6 doesn't like to send texts while on wifi. It takes a very long time for them to send but if I flip wifi off they send immediately. I haven't tried MMS but I suspect it would be a similar experience. I just leave wifi off at home now. I get LTE anyway and have unlimited data.
I had this problem at first, but seems to work fine now. Only thing different I did was change APN protocol to IPV4/IPV6 instead of IPV6. I read somewhere switching it to IPV4 solves MMS problems, but so far the combo has worked for me. Not sure if that was the issue though, worth a shot.
Now if I could fix my general signal issue, that'd be great =/
I hope this helps. It worked for me when I had the note 4 but now I'm getting a Nexus, don't have one to test this on yet but you guys can.
In short you can try setting up an APN with the MMS port as 80 because right now its probably blank.

I'm having the same issue on Cricket with my Nexus 6. Rooted, stock 6.0. With my wifi turned ON, I can not send or receive any grouped messages. I cannot send or receive any MMS messages.
I use the stock messaging app.
There doesn't seem to be a solution. I've quadruple checked the APN. Made sure the MMS Port is set to 80, nothing has worked. I feel other solutions like Using a Different Messaging App, or remove every App are bandaids for symptoms. Not solutions for the problem.

The issu could be due to the app not switching over to data properly when needed. This could also be a radio issue among other things. Without a logcat to tell where and why it is failing everyone is just shooting in the dark.

A logcat is trouble shooting 101. Just search for how to do one and you will get a few tut. It does need root sometimes so keep that in mind.
I had major mms issues on T-Mobile. I did some searching and changed the apn. I also now use hangouts for SMS/mms, and all is well again. I could not send mms at all before with WiFi on. Make sure your apn is correct for your carrier. Mmsc was blank right out of the box on T-Mobile.

I am on T mobile and it had worked fine until 6.0.
I was on cricket and had this issue; drove me insane. I finally ported my number to Google Voice and started a new line with cricket. With GV handling all the SMS/MMS through Hangouts, I haven't had any issues, whether it be on wifi or not. Might be worth considering.

MMS on Textra (Android N)

Anyone experiencing MMS failing to send or receive on Android N? I was fine on dev 3 and when I switch to stock messenger I'm fine although I don't get any notifications that it doesn't send or receive like i get from Textra.
I've tried the manual settings in Android and in Textra and even turned off wifi to try it but it doesn't work. A reboot will work for awhile and then eventually it'll fail.

I know this is a year old but just in case you or anyone else is racking their brains out re: MMS failure to send or receive - looks like a Nougat issue that can only be rectified by a carrier firmware update:

Thanks. I moved over to pulse SMS since it allows me to get texts to my smart watch while away from my phone and on the data connection on my watch.

Note 8 - text messages (SMS) issue

For past week or two I have been having sms issues. Some of my friends send me sms and they dont get through. It not related to specific provider ( I had issues receiving txt from Sprint and T-mobile and also at&t) Any ideas what could be causing random missing texts ?

Update PRL and Profile under System Update in Settings and see if that resolves your issues. [emoji6]

already tried that several times - no luck
I had the same issue. I have Google Voice integration, so I can check through the app if my text messages were coming in.
This is how I fixed my issue, but your milage may vary.
So a few weeks ago I added "DUN" to the apn to get the hotspot mod working on my phone so I could tether my laptop while on the go. Then I realized some MMS messages were coming in up to a day late. Then I realized I wasn't getting many text messages, so I checked Google Voice and it showed many unanswered replies. I connected the dots, after updating the profile, prl, clearing cache, doing data diagnostics, and many hours of hair pulling. I use texting for work often, so I needed to fix this.
Then I realized that I did the hotspot mod, and gave it a random chance that perhaps this was my problem. I removed the "DUN" from the apn and rebooted, sent a few test messages, and I started to receive all the messages just fine. I doubt changing the apn would prevent texts from showing up, but I've seen phones do crazy things before.
So if you did the hotspot mod, disable that/undo it/revert it back to default apn. And go in and manually check that the "DUN" is no longer there. If you didn't do the hotspot mod, then I have no idea how to help ya bro.
But give this a shot, because that's what helped me.
Call sprint. Have them turn off your phone. Let them reset the data and voice for your phone. Then you turn it back on and dial ##72786#. This should fix all the data on your phone.
