For those of you who are using Straight Talk with your N6 I was curious if you noticed this problem I have. When I am trying to send an SMS and I'm on the road with wifi enabled but not connected a hot spot my SMS will not send unless I turn off wifi. Anyone happen to know a fix for this?
You sending as sms? Or as mms? I don't see any possible way for wifi to impact sms, BUT, mms uses a data connection, which can be messed up by tethering provisions for limited or blocked-tether service providers. Could also be impacted by the specific application being used. Google set n6 up to use hangouts as default sms/mms application, you might try using google messenger instead. Its a bit more bare-bones and certainly does use sms for sms messages.
I have straight talk for my N6, but I do not experience the issue you have though, it all works great for me.

I want to just use my wireless connections for access how do I turn off at&t access. If I do that will that also turn off the messaging part? I have unlimited messaging just not data. Thanks Michael
I think you can search "no data" for an app to turn it off. MMS uses data but SMS doesn't.

IM uses data also, but if you use the AT$T added Yahoo or AOL client, usually they do not charge you for login connection.
I just mainly don't want IE to connect and run up the charges..Thanks Michael
Here ya go as previous posters recommended nodata.
I was using a Razr and the voice mail worked fine, know it does work with the tilt if there something else I have to do? Thanks
Huh what do you mean?
I looked at my account today and it says I must have enhanced voice mail with the tilt,what the difference is I have no clue...I guess they can tell what my sim is in because it showed I was using a tilt..Michael
Yes, but what does that have to do with the price of tea in China?
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.

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?

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 have had my phone since the release date for Verizon. The only problem I have with it is I do not receive my MMS messages at all. I leave my data off whenever I have access to wifi. My old Droid Razr would send me a message saying I had a message from someone and needed to download it. But on my Moto X I do not recieve any messages and then when I turn on my data, I will randomly get 4-5 messages from the group/picture message.
Are there any settings I can change to fix this?

Why are you turning off your data? My phone goes well over 24 hours with every single thing enabled and heavy use. There's no reason to turn it off.
I have the same issue too with my Moto X. I leave my data off because I have not an unlimited data plan. I am from At&t.
If someone can help, it would be great.

I agree that the battery life is great. But does it use extra battery to leave data on while on WiFi?
I read somewhere that to fix you need to send yourself an email with a picture attached on gmail. However I am still unable to send while on WiFi.
This is a CDMA limitation and I am unaware of a workaround. If you turn off your data, you will not receive MMS messages.
Try leaving on your data, or switching to a GSM carrier.

Nope. The data portion actually gets turned off in software if you're on WiFi until there is something (MMS) that needs it. You will save nothing, and waste time turning mobile data off every time you get on WiFi.

THIS. You need to leave data on if you want to receive MMS. The system handles data very well and will only turn it on when needed while on wifi

Good to know! But I need mobile data turned on to send an MMS when connected to WiFi? Does this mean it still uses my mobile data?
MMS doesn't count against your data. It goes over your data connection but is not counted towards your limit.

Correct. MMS = picture messaging. That's how feature phones with no data plan can still use MMS.

I noticed a similar issue recently when I turned wifi and mobile data off.
I was troubleshooting a problem where Google Messaging had a running service "Messaging Transaction Service" that was holding a wakelock for hours causing increased idle battery drain. Using WLD I saw the wakelock was related to MMS, so I turned on my mobile data. This didn't immediately help, so I forced close the Messaging service, and I then immediately received the MMS. Up until that point, I had no notification that a MMS was pending.

Just to correct you. this is not a CDMA limitation. This is how all iOS and android smartphones work by design. MMS messages are sent through data, they do not use up your data allotment for the month.
Only time MMS would work with data off is if you have a wifi calling app such as the one some tmobile phones have. It does not exist for the moto x.
So here’s a thread that focuses on the Internet Calling features of the device. I hope people will use this to share their experiences and give this feature more exposure! So how is it working for you?
I used Internet Calling with the Galaxy Nexus and now do this on the N5. The apartment where I lived—and, unfortunately, now my home—has poor cell reception and since T-Mobile doesn’t make it easy to support Wi-Fi Calling on these devices, I’ve resorted to the native Internet Calling/SIP support in Android. That said, some observations I’ve noticed since switching phones:
Overall audio quality appears to be better on the 5—audio is clearer and there appears to be less audio drops
Like the Galaxy Nexus, Internet Calling does not appear to support echo cancellation and I find the experience worse with the N5, particularly for those on the far side of my calls. I can help mitigate this by lowering the volume of the phone, but this is a balance between my ability to hear them and their ability to hear an echo.
Calls over LTE appear to be great—almost as good as the high-speed Comcast Wi-Fi I have at home. However, I was unable to make or receive calls successfully over T-Mobile’s LTE when the APN protocol was IPv6, which is the default—and changing this to IPv4 resolved the issue.
I am also aware of CSipSimple, and am currently piloting it on the legacy Galaxy Nexus, but, at this time, I want to give the native client a chance.
Cheers.
Reserved for possible future use
I also use CSipSimple for my work extension when I am not in the office to mask my cell phone. Has been working great! Sometimes I think the sound quality is better than cellular.

I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to using sip for internet calls. Could you guys help me get set up using the native client? Would I be able to make calls to anyone over WiFi or LTE? Thanks in advance.
I tried it on Nexus S and then Nexus 4, battery life sucked with incoming calls enabled, so I've given up on SIP for now :-/

This is not actually using the Internet Calling feature of the phone or SIP. My first exposure to this was with the Galaxy Nexus and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583120&highlight=sip&page=12 is a great thread with relevant information.

Those of you using CSipSimple or the native dialer, I can't get the echo to be reasonable. Even when turning the volume down, it still persists.
This issue is well documented on google code for both csipsimple and android.. https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=41626
How are you guys getting around this?
So would this solution work if, say, I was in a bad T-Mo cell area but wifi was available? i.e. I could make calls over wifi, the way that T-Mo intended, except not with a Nexus?
Also, isn't GrooveIP about to be discontinued? is Talkatone a reliable alternative? I downloaded it the other day but haven't had a chance to mess around with it yet...

If you are looking for an SIP provider, there are many. I use callcentric and am pretty happy with them. Just put in your member # and pw on the native dialer and it registers right away. If you pony up a couple of bucks for a number, you can use it as one of your Google Voice numbers. They will even let you mask the number match your Google Voice number so it looks like you are calling from GV.
To answer your question, you can call on any data connection. I even get good clear calls even on edge.
FYI, if you do set it up with GV, make sure you are not calling through the GV app, it doesn't play nice with the SIP function.
Has anyone used text plus for voip? I've been using it and it has great voice over mobile data. Only bad part is some wifi networks don't respond well to it.

Yes, but the Wi-Fi and its Internet connection has to be of high quality as well (for example, this might not work well at a Starbucks).
Is there anyway to use my existing cell # over VoIP? I have no signal at work but good WiFi.

Can anyone create a step-by-step for this? I wouldn't want to use VoIP unless I'm in a crappy cell area with good wifi, i.e. most of the time I would not use this process.

be careful with wakelocks now. textplus now uses location if it can and will keep your phone 'awake' even when you minimize hte app and turn the screen off

If you use app ops and disable location reporting it will remove the wake lock. That's what i did to all programs requesting location reporting and location history. They eat up a crazy amount of battery trying to get your location.

Hi folks,
I've got a pure edition activated on AT&T, but I'm having a bear of a time getting mms to work.
I've tried adding the "phone" APN rather than the nxtgenphone APN that was there by default, have tried all sorts of things with AT&T including getting them to update my IMEI to an At&t Moto x instead of "AT&T Victara".
What is particularly frustrating is that mms doesn't really work (I effectively can't send or receive), but it does work occasionally (particularly it likes to receive after a reboot).
I do get LTE speeds (and show 4g lte in the status bar), at least in some places, and my AT&T sgs3 (d2att) while still sending and receiving slowly does work better to send and receive mms.
Signal strength stinks overall, but not sure where the blame lies on that. Spent an hour in the store and on phone with them. No help.
Anyone having the same issues?
Any help?
I had the same issue. I was on the phone with att for some time. Eventually started working.
Ps: make sure you disable any ad block apps first. Reset your apn to default and then try. After you get it working, you can then enable your adblock.
Post your APN settings.

That's truly odd. I thought adblock only sits on the wifi connection as a proxy to filter out ads.
to the OP: did adblock work well for you in blocking ads both on cellular and wifi?

Yeah, works to block ads on both. But it totally blocks mms. Turn it on, no mms, turn it off, immediately working again.
as far as installing it, did you have to do anything more to get it to block ads when using cell/data connection?
i followed the instructions on the site and that only blocks ads when on wifi.

I am having the same issue on my Moto X Pure Edition 2015. My issue seems to be specific to when I use the google messenger app. I have confirmed that I only have one APN setup. I am on Cricket and I don't use any add blockers.
Any idea? Is this just a bug with the google Messenger app?
Use older all of hangout
I'm using a older version of hangout version 3.3xxx. Apkfun or other apk mirrors have it. Google messenger is still not liking my cricket mvno apn... You could also try a older version of messenger 1.2xx may work.
