T-mobile Wifi Calling and MMS - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Bluetooth ICS and missed calls

Hi people,
I'm using my Kaiser's internet connection sharing via BT to my desktop. I noticed that during the ICS session and even after disconnecting, I am unable to receive calls. Sometimes after disconnecting it, a long while later I get sms notifications of 5 or 6 missed calls (this is provided by my carrier). I am on a 3G connection so in theory calls and data could take place simultaneously.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Not getting phone calls or texts while on internet

Only noticed this yesterday really. When I'm using some sort of data connection (so browsing the internet or on WLM etc), I seem not able to receive a phone call, or to receive a text. I thought that voice calls / texts would interrupt the data session so you could receive them. Even my old samsung g600 does that (although I didn't use the internet much on it, so not too sure how good that is at it).
Is this a known issue, or a bug etc? Or is it just how it works? It's very annoying.
Thanks

Recieving MMS On Wifi?

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

ATT Moto X - will not send while connected to WiFi

My friend's Moto X just arrived. Extremely stoked about this awesome phone, but he ran into a weird problem. It would not send an MMS picture message without first disconnecting from his home network (WiFi). I did some research and came up with this post: MMS wont's send when on WiFi from this forum. It was for an S4 on VZ, so I wanted to post in the Moto X community the following hack that worked for ATT as well:
Send yourself a picture from your Gmail account that's associated with your phone, and it will work itself out. Once you have received the e-mail on the phone, MMS will work even when connected to WiFi.
I understand that MMS messages don't actually transmit via WiFi as they still go out over the data network. Therefore, you must have sufficient data coverage for the MMS to send. Another setting to check if this doesn't work is that the "Data enabled" box is checked under Settings > more (under Wifi/Bluetooth) > Mobile Networks while you are on WiFi.
Hope this helps anyone else out.
I think that's a Verizon (or maybe a CDMA) thing. My Verizon phones do what you described. My T-Mobile phone sends text and MMS while connected to Wi-Fi calling, which appears to disable the phone radio. Unless it's using data without indicating it to me.

had this issue and sending the gmail email worked like a charm. thanks so much OP. Been looking for a solution for a little while but hadn't come across anything.
instructions: Send an email from your you gmail account on your phone to the gmail account on your phone with an attached picture. Then you will be able to send MMS while connected to a wifi network. IN other words. open up gmail on your phone. send an email to yourself with an attached picture. issue solved.

Unable to send pictures via MMS when using Wi-Fi calling.

I tried several different messaging apps and all had the same issue. It seemed to start after I started using Wi-Fi calling. When I switched off Wi-Fi calling pictures that I had tried to send that had previously failed went through without a problem. I love using Wi-Fi calling as the cellular signal is not particularly strong at my house and I get crystal clear calls when on Wi-Fi so I'd rather not have to give it up in order to send MMS from home. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
