Hey!
After a few hours of trying to figure out how tonrecieve MMS without mobile data I found a solution.
Unfortunately you do mot recieve the MMS but you get notified that there is a MMS waiting that needs to be downloaded.
You need the Handecent SMS app that can be downloaded from Google Play Store for free, go into recieve message settings and untick auto retrieve. Then go into notification settings and untick notify after download. Now everytime you get a MMS you will be notified
Hope that helped someone. I used to have Sony and HTC android phones that had no problem auto retrieveing MMS, so this has been a big letdown for me on Nexus.

Recently I'm no longer able to receive text message or email notifications. I can send text messages and browse the internet (with and without wifi) I can still read my emails but I don't get any notifications that I have them.
The larger problem is that I don't receive text messages any more. I also dont get anything from SpinVox (doesn't turn my voice mails into text anymore. Also dont get notifications for my voice mail)
The problem start around when I updated from Cyanogenmod 4.2.14.1 to 4.2.15.1 but I don't think that is the problem. As I think I could still receive texts for a little while.
Thanks for the help.
If I go into settings -> data sync it says gmail, calender, contacts were all last synced on the 21st. Which seems about right when my texts stopped working. If I unselect, then reselect, the sync icon appears but nothing happens it just sits there.(Still doesn't report that I have emails, even thought at the time I did)
I have a T Mobile Nexus 6. I've been using Textra for SMS and Hangouts for, well, hangouts. Now that Textra wants me to pay or else they'll start showing me ads, I want to use Hangouts exclusively. When I set Hangouts as my default SMS app, everything merges correctly. I have a group text thread that when I send a message to, it shows up as sending 8 times, once to each recipient. However, when I receive replies, they come in separately, making it impossible to follow the thread of the conversation.
Any ideas?
i use the google messanger app for texting, im on tmobile, and group texts work fine.
Make sure under the sms settings in hangouts that group messages are being sent as MMS. I believe this is turned off by default.

In hangouts settings, under SMS>advanced, do you have "Group messaging" box ticked? Also, "Enable merged conversations"?
I don't have a "Group Messaging" box. Here's a screenshot. http://i.imgur.com/x5cr5ka.png
I've double-checked my APN settings, I feel like I may be missing something very obvious, as I know I used to use group messaging with Hangouts with no problem, before I started using textra.

Ok, I think I figured it out. For some reason, my phone couldn't read my phone number from the sim card. If i went into my phone settings, under "my number" it said "unknown". I called Tmobile, they sent an update to my phone. Rebooted, went into settings, my number was there, and when I went back to my Hangouts settings, the "group mms" setting was now there, checked, and I think that'll do the trick.
Since a system software update that occurred in early May, I cannot send MMS messages from any texting app EXCEPT the built in Samsung Messages app. I was using the Google Messages app but have been forced to switch to the Samsung one. Also tested with Textra and it doesn't work either. Tried all the standard troubleshooting: reboot, reset network settings, double checked APN settings) but no success. I CAN send SMS messages from any texting app. Just not MMS
That would indicate there is an issue with Google Messages then. The data settings for sending MMS but be correct as the Samsung app works and they share the mobile settings.
You could try uninstalling and reinstalling the Google messages app to reset it and make sure the RCS rich chat feature is then turned off.

As I mentioned, I this issue affects the Textra messaging app as well, and I would expect it to affect any other texting app besides Samsung Messages. I have of course tried uninstalling and reinstalling Google Messages but the issue persists.
my suggest, send your log file to samsung with repeating the issue (sending MMS) before, maybe send it via email to them.
I have debloated my phone and replaced the Chinese apps with Google apps. Notifications work without any problem. I knew going into this that I wouldn't be able to use Android Auto, Google Backup, and 'Hi Google' voice activation for Google Assistant, but I've run into a snag with the Google/Android Messages app. I can send and receive text messages, but when I try to send a picture it just says "sending" and I eventually get a system notification that my message could not be sent. This happens whether I have RCS Chat enabled or turned off in the Google Messages app settings. In both the Google Messages settings and my Vivo system settings I have enabled "allow MMS messages". I know that MMS uses Mobile Data only, so I tried sending a picture with the phone's WiFi turned off thinking the phone was trying to send the pictures by WiFi rather than Mobile Data, but they still won't send. I have installed an uninstalled the app, gone into Recovery Mode and cleared the cache partition, but the problem persists. If I reinstall the default Vivo Messages app the pictures send instantly. Can anyone think of a reason why I can send SMS but not MMS in Google Messages?

Hi Craig. You know that I face the same problem. One of my friend is working in Vivo France. I contacted Vivo China to expose the problem with google message. They find something and they told him that they are going to push an update soon with a patch for google message. ✌✌✌✌✌✌
Thank you for staying on top of this!
Hi everybody, I have a problem since the day 1 I have this phone (2 months ago).
There's no way to receive whatsapp messages and email until i manually open the applications. Already tried to:
disable any battery saving setting
check any application permission
restore the phone
re-install the app
CHANGE OPERATOR
USE WIFI
and still the phone fall asleep and i receive all messages only when i open the app.
any idea to solve that?
Thanks
That's weird. Mine works fine - on battery setting i have option " with optimization".
But i have active option "picture in picture". Perhaps check this one.
Check background management for whatsapp. Disable it. Check autorun list. WhatsApp should be checked there.
I have no problems with WhatsApp.
