anyone notice MMS messages taking abnormally long to send since pushing FRF83?
Not for me. I was able to send a picture to a friend and get a response within 20 seconds.
hmmmm, maybe i will have to toy with my APN and 4636 menu.
ok so I set my phone to every different prl and set my apn back to default, I also tried it on the voicestream default apn and when I send an mms, even to t-Mobilers, all it says is sending and then on their ends they get a message stating "generic network failure" what the hell....
so i was wondering how exactly texts are sent, because i inow i get much better data reception in my house when i disable 3g and texts seem to send more reliably.
also, if anyone happens to know how to add a "message not sent. send again?" button into the messenging tab messenger that would save me a lot of copy paste!

I had all data turned off by AT&T. We have a familty text plan and I could send all the SMS texts I wanted to. I could not send an MMS without data turned on, even there was no additional charge for MMS. I was using a Razr 3 at the time.
i don't know if you start and send a txt message as an mms message if it will actually be sent that way.
What APN settings are people using with the AT&T branded Note 3 on Straight Talk? I just bought a new AT&T micro sim from Straight Talk that supposedly allows LTE to work. Please let me know the least restrictive APN settings that works for both LTE and MMS

I'm getting about 18 down on Straight Talk LTE in SLC. For some reason it's consistently 8 Mbs faster than my LTE LG E980 G Pro.

Those appear to be the stock ST settings from the ST website. I am unable to send/receive MMS with those settings. I have tried about a dozen other settings from users who are able to MMS, but none work for me.
I called ST and spoke to three escalating levels of tech support managers over a 58 minute call. None of them were able to help, although one told me my account settings were wrong on their end. The last one told me that they do not guarantee MMS service, and I would only get it if I was near one of their (Straight Talk) towers. I was unaware that they had their own towers. She also told me the N3 does not have the capability to MMS, and that I need a "more advanced" device.
With the HUGE number of N3 users having MMS problems on ST, I am beginning to think ST is limiting MMS to conserve band width. I actually lost the ability to send/receive MMS about 3 weeks before I purchased my N3 while I was still on my N1. That's why I think it is ST. Just my opinion though.

I haven't even tried MMS on my Note 3 yet. So many of the people I communicate with are on Hangouts or FB Messenger I rarely use text anymore. I'll have my old lady send me a MMS text and see what happens. Hopefully MMS issues will be cleared up if Google hopefully integrates Hangouts and MMS here *soon*.
MMS worked on my Note 2 and LG G Pro. I didn't switch to the new tfdata apn sim till about 2 months ago when they launched the LTE service. I have received MMS on my G Pro with that newer SIM.

I've tried a ton of different APN settings I've found on the internet. Nothing has fixed/enabled downloading of MMS.
Everything else works though... I can send MMS and download speeds are great.. just can't download MMS no matter what. The old HSPA sim card worked perfectly though, but I'm not giving up LTE for MMS.
I've tried calling Straight Talk and nothing has helped, they basically told me the device I have isn't guaranteed to get all the features and that it may be my phone that has the problem.
Try leaving the proxy blank. I did this and it seems to be working fine.

Thanks for this suggestion, but....it did nothing to help my lack of mms-ability. I really think ST or att is blocking us as this lack of mms started for me about a month before I got my N3. That correlates with a new att 4g tower installation in my small rural town. Prior to that we were on 2g and I was able to SLOWLY send/receive mms. After the new tower...nothing.
Sms works with all the different apn settings I have tried including this one suggested by enigma2446. Sms even works with the stock att apn while using my ST sim card!

What do you have in the mms proxy?
Try putting in this 66.209.11.33 or 66.209.11.34
< Coming to you live from the planet One X >
mms3.tracfone.com
I've tried both of the 66.209..... before and neither worked for me. It makes no difference what I put in, no mms. It just stopped suddenly the day my N1 went from a 2g to a 4g signal. ST tells me both the N1 and N3 are not mms capable. That's bs as my N1 sent/received mms prior to that signal change. Its not my N3. Its att and ST!

I've been google searching this for 3 weeks. 216.155.165.40 didn't fix things. I don't have [email protected]/wcdma setting option under mobile data. Only an on or off checkbox for mobile data. In the *#*# settings it is set for LTE/GSM. I have seen screenshots of the mobile data settings and thought it strange I don't have that option.
Thanks for all of your help!

I FIXED IT!!! I unfroze stock Messaging app and sent mms with it instead of Handcent. I can send and receive mms now, but I have to send through Messaging only. I can receive through both. I don't understand why. I'm just happy it works. Using ST stock APN settings.

Straight Talk MMS Solution (WORKS FOR ME)
Okay...I feel like a dumba$$ posting this. But if it helps someone else then I won't be as embarrassed
First, the solution: If you are using any messaging app other than the stock apk, make sure you enter the MMSC, MMS Proxy, MMS Port settings WITHIN THE APP YOU USE.
Now, My excuse: I have used Handcent SMS for several years in multiple devices (Dell Streak 5, SG Note (1), and this SG Note 3. The Note 3 is the only device that did not automatically use the device APN settings for sending MMS. I never had any trouble until the last month on my N1. That was about the time att upgraded its towers in my town, and when I updated the Handcent apk to Handcent 5. From that point on, I have been unable to send or receive MMS. I have spent countless hours trying different APN settings and searching for solutions. Two days ago, I discovered that I could send MMS from the native Messaging app (I froze the native apk immediately after rooting my N3 without trying it first), but not from any other app (Textra, Chomp, Handcent, 8sms.....). Today, I re-installed Handcent and went through every setting. I entered the MMS settings WITHIN Handcent and gave it a try. IT WORKED!!! I also tried it with 8sms and was successful. I then re-froze the native apk and the other messaging apps still work!
I have never been able to send/receive mms this quickly. As I said in the title, FOR ME, this solves my mms problems completely. I wish I would have gone through ALL of the Handcent settings from the beginning. I know...STUPID!!!

Thanks for the update krazman. I am having few issues with my N3 APN settings, 4G is not working properly. Can you please share what APNs you are currently using? maybe few screenshots?
Much thanks in advance!
I am using the stock Straight Talk apn settings from the ST website. I never had internet problems. Only messaging app problems. Are you in the USA and on Straight Talk? If Yes, see the ST website. If No, the ST settings will create further problems for you.

Perfect. I just updated my setting with the following from ST's website for Galaxy Phones. Works flawless so far.
APN Settings
FIELD SETTINGS
NAME STRAIGHT_TALK
APN att.mvno
MMSC (i get blocked by xda, please see ST site for this one)
MMS PROXY 66.209.11.33
MMS PORT 80
MMS_APN att.mvno
A co-worker just picked up a Note3 (off contract) and grabbed a ST sim. All I did was use the ST APN that I had in my Note 2. Working great and slamming 4G. Didn't need to adjust the proxy settings. Just throwing this out there...
So you guys are getting LTE with the att.mvno APN? These are with new SIM's labeled for LTE. My LTE sim won't even work unless it's on tfdata. Interesting.
How fast is it? Most people on the tfdata APN are getting sub 20 down. In the same area people on a GoPhone sim will get 30+.

Not sure if the issue is with the phone/settings, or with AT&T, but I can't send pictures with the stock messenger app. It says "Multimedia messages not supported by network."
Any thoughts?
Did a little digging after I realized I'm also not getting any replies to the SMS I send to people. Apparently, when my phone was activated, my data and messaging plans were deactivated from my S2, but only the data plan made it over to the S5. So I currently have no messaging plan.
What's frustrating about that, I had the "Messaging 200" plan -- 200 texts for $5/month. And I usually only used maybe half of that. Now the only messaging option available is the unlimited for 4 times that price. Not happy to say the least.
Ever since hopping on 5.1.1 MMS has been sporadic for me.
I can receive fine, but sending is the problem. And doesn't matter if wifi calling is on or not.
T-Mobile says that they don't see attempts for MMS and filed a ticket to no avail.
It's driving me crazy. Any ideas?
I am rooted fyi.
On COF8
TWISTED SIXX rom (also happened on looper 5.1.1)
Google Messenger doesn't work
Stock Messaging shows sent but no one receives it.
this is really driving me crazy, i updated the mms port to 80 in apn settings to no avail.
If anyone got advice, would be appreciated.
i havent had any issues until tonight.. now my phone wont send them all the sudden.
I read that MMS were being disabled by one carrier due to that new Android vulnerability.. maybe that's why
I just figured out it was Google messaging... They updated the app today and lots of people are reporting it broke theirs too. Now I have to go back to the stock app which turns on the fricking screen for every text. I'll never understand that feature. Drives me insane.

For me it's texting as a whole that dies. My data still works otherwise, but SMS/MMS fail to send. Whenever it happens I clear cache/dalvik, reconnect to my wifi and it seems to fix it. Doesn't work every time though.
As far as I've noticed it happens randomly. I'll try to send a text and maybe 5-10 mins later I get a send failed receipt. If I just try to send it again without fiddling with my data it'll just hang again and fail.
Happens with stock and chompsms. I had the issue where my phone would say it had sent but the person wouldn't receive it. That only happened once though, every other time it's given me a fail. The thing is, even though it says it has failed, some of the texts make it through regardless - which obviously means I've been sending a lot of people the same message twice recently lol.

texts for me fail once mms hangs. Nothing will come in or out until I get network failure responses 10-15 min later.
Either way, what the hell t-mobile?

So it just happened again, several texts failed to send, but I got a "Unfortunately, IPsec Service has stopped" popup. Maybe it's something to do with whatever that is?

That's Wifi Calling.
I can confirm issue occurs regardless of wifi calling
For me SMS or MMS were not sending with VOLTE on. I turned it off and the issue was resolved

Yeah, i've tested with it on and off no luck.
So update, I've narrowed down the issue to APN settings and Google Messenger.
Google Messenger has a tough time recognizing our APN's because the APN fields do not have mms protocol options which is what google messenger looks for.
So my next question is, what is the most ideal APN settings?
I'm at my end with this. Gonna try a int'l rom and see if that helps at all
Update:
Int'l Rom MMS while connecting to wifi or not on google messenger stock messenger any messenger works flawlessly, tested 20 mms 4 a piece on 5 diff sms apps that previously weren't working.
Why are t-mobile roms inherently corrupt in this aspect?
Can someone adv what the EPC apn is? EPC.t-mobile.com ??
Can someone explain the difference between epc.t-mobile.com apn and fast.t-mobile.com ?
MMS fails 100% of the time on fast.t-mobile.com
MMS Is successful 100% of the time on epc.t-mobile.com
I had the problem of messages either not coming in or not sending until I set up a new APN with these settings -
In Settings > Connections > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names
Name: (whatever you want)
APN: fast.t-mobile.com
Proxy: Not set
Port: Not set
Username: Not set
Password: Not set
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
Multimedia message proxy: Not set
Multimedia message port: Not set
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
Authentication type: Not set
APN type: Not set
APN protocol: IPv4/IPv6
APN roming protocol: IPv4
Mobile virtual private network operator type: Not set
Set this as the APN to use and reboot your phone
It's basically the same APN settings that come with the phone with the exception of the APN type
