I have tried factory reset powering off pulling sim and even reseting apn settings. I honestly can't see how it could be on my end

Perhaps your baseband got corrupted? Try to Re-flash just the modem through Odin.

Sending mms is sending an sms with a link to the mms file, so something's wrong here. If you can send an sms with a link you can send an sms without a link.

Problem with MMS receiving.

I've looked through the threads and it seems like the problem hasn't been addressed yet so..... when someone sends me a mms with my data on I get it with no problem but when my data is off the mms download button or the message doesn't show at all. This really annoys me because most of the time I don't know that someone is sending me a mms.

I'm a little confused when you turn data off you cant receive messages? You need data to receive messages. Or is it when using wifi

You don't need data on to receive SMS. With some ROMs when your data is off and you get an MMS it turns data on, downloads the message and shuts back off. Not sure why it doesn't work here.
You need data on to receive MMS messages, aka pictures or long (3pages+) messages.

I'm totally aware of this but on stock Rom the mms would sit in the inbox waiting to be downloaded with data off when I have auto retrieve turned off, but on custom roms the download button doesn't appear like how I stated above

I don't think the auto retrieve works on Gingerbread roms, only the 4.1 roms and some of the 4.2 roms.

Go to your phone/settings/additional settings/my phone number... Enter your digits like this: 1234445555 (your area code and number) this worked for me.

Some custom ROMs do have issues with MMS. Try another ROM and see if the issue goes away.

Atrix HD MMS
Adblock was blocking send and download of mms messages. As soon as I turned that off, it started working again. Some custom roms may come with this app preloaded so make sure this is not breaking anything.

I'm rooted too. Is that the reason why? I hope not. I haven't messed with the apn settings at all.

It was my guess as I assume AT&T wouldn't send else a phone not capable of receiving mms, especially considering how much $$ they beat you for them.
I havent changed anything on my phone, whenever I try to send a photo to my wife via text I have to send it twice??? Data problem or phone problem??

Maybe that's the problem. I'll disable it and try. Thanks.
Edit.
That was the problem. I disabled Adblocker, and now all is well thanks!

Was there no option to configure ad blocker?

i had trouble sending MMS and even text sometimes. full stuck no mms. samsung better fix this basic function. i am not sure if its a bug of the older firmware either. people that did not downgrade would have to tell us if there having problems as well
So can we have our cake and eat it too? Can you have adblocker and send mms somehow?

APN settings good?
Yea, they should be, it I can get on the internet and send mms... I would assume my APN settings are right.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda app-developers app
actually no, your APN settings could indeed be set to only work for specific things. It is the first thing to check.
Then you can try other modems. After that, try clean flashing your ROM and finally check your sim card and with your carrier.

In the messaging app make sure your max MMS size is set to 2MB and not 5MB
Sent from my 831C using xda app-developers app
Should have mentioned I tried all sizes down to 300mb. Still no dice, thanks for trying though.

Solution found ##72786# and then menu then reset. After reboot I ran activation, now it's all good.
