I have a weird issue that when my nexus 6 is connected to wifi, it can't send or receive mms messages. In the Google messaging app, it shows mms as failing to download. The second I turn off wifi though, everything goes through, both sending and receiving. My nexus 5 on lollipop had the same issue. Has anyone else on 5.0 experienced this? I couldn't find anything on the AOSP bug list. I am unencrypted, rooted and have TWRP.

That's been my experience with every device I've ever owned on both Sprint and T-mobile. Nothing out of the ordinary there
That's unfortunate. What's weird is that my nexus 5 with kitkat had it working just fine. I guess I'll just hop the wifi calling fixes it whenever that comes out.
My Nexus 6 doesn't like to send texts while on wifi. It takes a very long time for them to send but if I flip wifi off they send immediately. I haven't tried MMS but I suspect it would be a similar experience. I just leave wifi off at home now. I get LTE anyway and have unlimited data.
I had this problem at first, but seems to work fine now. Only thing different I did was change APN protocol to IPV4/IPV6 instead of IPV6. I read somewhere switching it to IPV4 solves MMS problems, but so far the combo has worked for me. Not sure if that was the issue though, worth a shot.
Now if I could fix my general signal issue, that'd be great =/
I hope this helps. It worked for me when I had the note 4 but now I'm getting a Nexus, don't have one to test this on yet but you guys can.
In short you can try setting up an APN with the MMS port as 80 because right now its probably blank.

I'm having the same issue on Cricket with my Nexus 6. Rooted, stock 6.0. With my wifi turned ON, I can not send or receive any grouped messages. I cannot send or receive any MMS messages.
I use the stock messaging app.
There doesn't seem to be a solution. I've quadruple checked the APN. Made sure the MMS Port is set to 80, nothing has worked. I feel other solutions like Using a Different Messaging App, or remove every App are bandaids for symptoms. Not solutions for the problem.

The issu could be due to the app not switching over to data properly when needed. This could also be a radio issue among other things. Without a logcat to tell where and why it is failing everyone is just shooting in the dark.

A logcat is trouble shooting 101. Just search for how to do one and you will get a few tut. It does need root sometimes so keep that in mind.
I had major mms issues on T-Mobile. I did some searching and changed the apn. I also now use hangouts for SMS/mms, and all is well again. I could not send mms at all before with WiFi on. Make sure your apn is correct for your carrier. Mmsc was blank right out of the box on T-Mobile.

I am on T mobile and it had worked fine until 6.0.
I was on cricket and had this issue; drove me insane. I finally ported my number to Google Voice and started a new line with cricket. With GV handling all the SMS/MMS through Hangouts, I haven't had any issues, whether it be on wifi or not. Might be worth considering.
So today I switched to Verizon from At&t. I had no issues prior to today with sending pictures or group text. Now I can do neither. :crying:
I've tried talking to Verizon and Google. Both have no solution. I've also tried doing a factory reset and I'm still having the same issue.
Anyone know how to get into the APN settings? I can only get to them via the hangouts app. But it doesn't give all the fields I'm used to seeing in typical APN settings.
Anyone run into this and have a solution?

When you say switched, do you mean you used AT&T on your N6 and switched to a Verizon sim? If so, you need to factory reset. You don't change APN settings on Verizon though, the sim card sets them.

I already tried a factory reset. And I'm still having the same issue. If I'm still having the same issue tomorrow, I'm going to swap the sim card.
I think there is or was a problem with MMS on VZ and using Hangouts or Google Voice. I read somewhere that this was being taken care of by VZ soon.
Yep -- I've been having issues with receiving SMS / MMS messages on Verizon too. Sending works fine (tested and confirmed) but I can't receive anything. It used to work but it hasn't for me since last Wednesday or so.. Maybe they're making changes before they launch the Nexus 6 themselves? Who knows. It caught me off guard though as I used SMS for my Google two factor auth. Had to switch to Google Authenticator because of this.
I use Hangouts and do not have any issues with VZW MMS sending or receiving. I live in Chicagoland.

Just to confirm it's a Hangouts Verizon issue, I'm on the OG Samsung Galaxy Nexus and have been having this issue for roughly a month now. Not sure what prompted it, but it's been plaguing me for some time now.

Not OP, but I have. I had a single SMS message sneak through last night -- much to my surprise. I haven't been able to receive SMS / MMS for about two weeks now. Over that period of time, I have sent myself multiple "test" messages from other numbers as well as other people's phones. Only a single, unrelated text has come through. SMS / MMS works as expected with this SIM in my old Galaxy Nexus. Very odd.
N6 on VZW
I have an N6 o Verizon and I have not had issues with sending or receiving mms or sms and I got my phone almost a month ago. Only thing I don't like is when I'm on a call, if I get group messages or a picture message, I may have to tap to manually download after the call because the phone doesn't do voice and data at the same time.

friend of mine on pure sent me sms and mms this morning and i sent both back from my note 4 and no problems on either end.
Hey guys, I am having a weird issue here. I have had the Nexus 6 for about 2 months now and everything has been working fine. I am using hangouts and have been able to send and receive MMS no problem, up until a few days ago. I now cannot send MMS, but I can receive them. I've pulled the SIM, restarted, tried using Messenger and Handcent. When using Handcent I would get an error about the APN settings. I set them to what Verizon has listed for MMS and it was still erroring out. I am not back on Hangouts and still can't send an MMS message. Any ideas? I guess the next step would be a factory reset...
PS - I am unlocked, rooted, and un-enecrypted running the latest stock OTA ROM.
Bump? Anyone? I am still unable to send MMS. I can receive them just fine though. I did a TWRP factory reset and still was unable to send. I might have to flash back to bone stock or wait until Friday when Verizon officially supports this thing.
I only have ever used Textra on my phone (Verizon, rooted, OTA, encrypted) no texting issues I am aware of.

Tried Textra, no luck (it's beautiful and I will probably stick with it!)...I will start from square 1, hopefully a full reinstall will fix this.
I don't know if you saw it in the options but there is a switch to try to "fix" MMS within Textra . Something to try anyway...

I had a problem for the first time the other day.
It ended up being a host file MOAB (Mother Of all Ad Blockers) I added to Adaway ad blocker app.
Did some googling and it seems others have had the same problem.
Just throwing it out there.
I am hoping to get some input from others. I had the note 2 running CM prior to my Nexus 6. I say this because I don't know if CM ran MMS/group messaging different than stock, but here is the scenario:
When on CM, if I sent or received a group text, all the replies were in the same thread. Very convenient for obvious reasons. However, on my N6, if someone starts/sends me a group message all the replies end up in the same thread. If I start and send a group message, the first message shows one thread with everyone in it, but when people start to reply, each message comes individually and not a part of the group thread.
Is this normal? Is there a way to get all messages in one thread?

EDIT: corrected the above list, I had an extra "X" in after the "V"
My carrier refuses to help me with this issue since it's not a phone that they carry.
First some background info. I have a problem using the Nexus 6 on my carrier, "Bluegrass Cellular" which is a regional cdma/lte carrier partnered with Verizon Wireless under their "LRA" (LTE in rural America) program. This issue I can guarantee happens with every user using the device on other carriers under the same agreement. Friend who uses a n6 on another partnered carrier has the same problem. The Issue doesn't seem to be ROM dependant either. If more carrier specific info is needed I can provide it.
Before a wonky work around mentioned next, this is the issue. Problem is if connected to LTE, everything works properly, calls in and out, mms in and out, and receiving sms as normal. But you cannot send sms (pre 14r radio, after 14r radio sends but delays). If you are connected to LTE, when you send a sms it will fail with the message message, "cant send message (insert carrier name) error -1. But you could downgrade network to 3g and you can send fine. But back to LTE sms lags.
Only fix/work around is to flash any m preview radio. Which leads me to think it could possibly be radio related. With those, sms sends, but it takes 40 seconds to send per text. Does anyone have any ideas? 14r+ radio with delay is better than nothing, but it's still rather frustrating.
Outgoing sms on LTE/cdma: average 40 second delay to send message, with higher than normal send failure rate.
Outgoing sms with LTE disabled: sms sends within 5 seconds.
Still when on LTE there is no delay on receiving texts. Only sending.
I Tried sms over ims on/off and a few other pokes and prods, no different. Can provide logcat or anything else if desired. Just trying to get an idea what's going on.
Tl;Dr
APNS are set properly, mms in/out works fine, calls in/out work fine, receiving sms is fine, sending sms on cdma 1x/3g is fine.. Just sending sms on LTE has a roughly 40 second send time with a abnormal send failure rate.
Sorry for the long post I am just trying to cover all the bases for which could be applicable to finding a solution. Thanks in advance for any inputs!

Same issue
I just switched to Bluegrass Cellular today and brought my Nexus 6 aboard and am experiencing the exact same issue. I am running Android 5.1.1 with baseband: MDM9625_10446.01.02.101R and cannot send SMS outbound at all. I can receive SMS, calls, and data all fine, but no outbound texts will go through at all. I will follow the advice already in this thread and update to Android M preview to see if the updated baseband will "sorta" fix the issue so I can at least send outbound, even if it is delayed. I am willing to provide logs if anyone can look into this issue and see a possible resolution.
M preview radio will sorta fix it and make it so it will send on LTE after a delay of like 40 seconds. If you are on 1x/3g sms will work fine.

No need to flash the entire M. Just flash the radio unless you want more that don't work.
I just wish we could figure out why it delays and how to resolve it. Any radio but m preview sms will just fail after so long. M preview radio will delay but eventually send after average 45 seconds. It's just so odd to me.
Calls in out fine
Mms in out fine
Sms in fine
Sms out 1x/3g fine
Sms out LTE no m radio no send
Sms out LTE m radio 40 seconds to send but will send.
Interestingly enough if you go into network settings and set to LTE only rather than LTE cdma sms will not send. So I can't tell if it's radio or it not wanting to use the ims features I'm really lost at this point

If it is delayed it is carrier. Nothing you do to device outside APN and PRL will fix in my opinion. Carrier/tower problem.
Progress
Ok, I flashed the 24R Android M Preview 3 baseband to my phone last night and texts were still failing altogether this morning when on LTE. I had alot of text messages on my phone (over 21,000 total according to the SMS Backup and Restore app). I deleted alot of old text messages on my phone and my texts are now going through without delay. However...MMS is still not working, but I suspect that has something to do with me not having a Bluegrass APN setup on my phone (if anyone has BG's APN settings, I would be happy if you could provide me a link to them, because I do not see them on their website).

If you want to use mms on a non bluegrass phone you are limited to one specific texting app "8sms" with mms settings as shown in picture. Make sure you don't forget the last setting X-MDN:##LINE1#. Mainly you need the mmsc mms on wifi (yes bluegrass supports it) and the extra http header above.

Why would it work fine in other phones across multiple carriers in this instance? I've tested several different phones also and I've noticed this happens only in Motorola phones not made specifically for Verizon lra carriers. I've used a Verizon galaxy s4 and everything worked great. It feels like somewhere in the radio software or wherever is not letting the ims feature work.

Still Occuring on Android 6.0
So here's an update. I had been running Android 5.1.1 on my Nexus 6 for months with the 24R baseband and had zero problems with SMS being delayed. Everything worked like normal. I updated to Android 6.0 which installed the 27R baseband and the delayed SMS issue is back. I tried reverting the baseband to 24R and the delayed SMS issue was still present. Any ideas on how to fix this? I will be happy to provide logs or any other diagnostic information.
Odd....
Quite frankly, I'm still baffled by this issue. I bought the Nexus 6p and am still with Bluegrass Cellular. Once I popped in my SIM and had them change my IMEI number, I thought that the delayed SMS issue would be a thing of the past. The issue is STILL PRESENT on the Nexus 6p which is manufacturered by an entirely different company than the 6 was (Huawei). I don't suspect it is the radio any longer, as this has happened to me on multiple phones.
I've been toying with different remedies and strategies for months. I've started thinking it's software related and needs to be addressed to Google, but unfortunately I highly doubt they'd care.

Didn't know you had a thread going for this. Do you still need 8sms with those headers added? I could probably change your http header elsewhere and get it working with all message apps.
For the SMS delayed issue, I have found a fix with the help of @evilryry and have made a flashable for it. Just waiting for a little more confirmation so I can be sure to give accurate instructions.

I can comment that I've been using Google messenger for somebtime now and it's been fully functional. Just have to restore apns with apn backup and restore that I got from a rooted thumb cellular phone and then add mms line to apn type under vzwinternet and so far so good.
Wondering if anyone else has run into this issue. My girlfriend recently left Verizon (on iPhone 5) and took her number to T-Mobile. She decided to buy the LG G4 (I have the G3 on Verizon and she really liked it) but is having issues with receiving picture or group messages from other iPhones. I can message her fine, and I don't have any issues receiving these messages on my G3 (on Verizon). If we are on the same thread, sometimes she won't get the message until I or another android user responds to it.
When she left Verizon they told her that iPhone users would have to turn iMessage off & on in order for it to work, but that has led to mixed results. She will get a few group messages or picture messages from certain recipients but inevitably will end up missing another one (her texting app will show "New MMS Message" and a download button, but pressing that doesn't do anything). She's contacted T-Mobile but all they ever say is to reboot her phone, or clear the Messaging app data. Generally this fixes it temporarily, but unable to fix completely.
Since I'm unfamiliar with T-Mobile and the G4, I was wondering if anyone can share their experiences with this? Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks!

If she's getting the MMS notification, then it's not related to iMessage. How long has it been since she switched? I believe some messages might get routed to the wrong carrier for a while.
I have been with T-Mobile for a long time and have not had MMS issues with any of the phones I have used. I have a G4 at the moment and MMS work fine with everyone (including iOS users). Group messaging can be tricky when dealing with iPhones though, I have missed some messages before, I get no notification, they're just lost. If the message is not being downloaded, I would make sure the APN settings are correct on her G4.
She can also try a different SMS app. I use Textra and it lets you manually configure an APN if the system one is having issues.

Thanks. I actually just recommended she try Textra and it seems to be holding up for now. As far as APN settings go, where is the most reliable place to find the correct ones? I see them posted all over the internet but am not sure what is new/legitimate. Would T-Mobile be able to provide them?

There are a lot of threads about this, the TMo G4 has issues downloading MMS for some reason. In group chats that are MMS it's even worse. I finally gave up on the G4 because it loses too many messages and can't download half the ones that it does get.

Ah yes! The Wi-Fi calling fix? That can solve some issues when using Textra if you use WiFi calling, but the stock app should take care of that.
I haven't had any issues with group MMS, so I wonder if those that are having them are on WiFi and with WiFi calling enabled when they have these issues.
I don't know if it helps with WiFi calling or not! But it fixed my MMS sending and receiving problem!
I'm very surprised nobody else has posted about this...I cannot get MMS to work with either my AT&T or my Verizon SIM card. I've checked APN settings for both, and both look perfect.
It shows that I've received a message, and I have an option to click download, but it never downloads and after a few hours I get a notification saying "Message not downloaded."
Does anybody have any insight?
That is literally the only quirk I have with this phone. Beyond that, it's by far the best device I've ever owned.

Thanks, but unfortunately not helpful. I've already been through the APN settings. Email doesn't solve the problem of receiving MMS messages from people.
same issue, all apn settings are accurate, only problem on this phone.

I'm not on AT&T but the issue is the same. Have exact same APN settings I do in 3 other phones that work flawlessly.
Use textra.
I couldn't get it to work in hangouts.
Use textra and make sure to check mms behaviour "system"
No need for apn settings
I'm on at&t straight talk and this definitely works
What is "MMS behavior system" is that a setting in Textra.

You never turn on MMS? Holy ****. What's the point of having a almost $1000 cell phone if you have to use email in place of MMS?

For some reason UK charges on MMS are ridiculous, well at least on my network.
For whatever reason, it started working. I only did one thing; I disabled my number 1 sim and made number 2 my primary data (1 was AT&T and 2 was Verizon.) I also made sure my WiFi was disabled before I started. Then I reversed the change, and all of a sudden every missing MMS started downloading, and I got them all.
No idea if what I did made a difference, or how, or even if it will stay working, but thought maybe somebody would like to give it a shot.

I actually don't know anyone who's using MMS around me, and I thought it's an outdated tech just like SMS. I live in UK also, maybe it's just not that popular here. Why would you use MMS when you have all these new chating apps which you can send anything you want for free (as long as you have data)?
Yo. I work for ATT and have the att nxtgenphone APN settings. Works fine.
Let me know if you need them.
.
I'd also download pulse. Let it set up then if you don't like it switch back to your preferred SMS app. That worked for me.
I'm using AT&T and can receive MMS. Group texts are another issue (they're simply unsupported by xiaomi across MIUI, google), but pictures and what not works fine. I use the default "ATT Phone" which comes preloaded. It works fine and allows 4G.
Im on ATT and it seems like I can't receive MMS, but I can send them. Can someone who this works for post their APN settings?
Edit: nxtgenphone works. Turns out Facebook Messenger was just ****ing it up for me. When it's my default SMS app, I can't receive or send MMS. Does anyone know what is up with that? I've had MMS problems on 3 phones now with Messenger...
Group texting...

Did not know this was a issue...I got the mi mix a week ago and have been trying different messaging apps, even gave up project fi... all because Group Texting was not working. I got picture messages to work, but the group texting simply won't work. Is there a workaround? Even potentially getting it to work with a different ROM?

Only messaging app that works for MMS group messages is TEXTRA
I'm having the same issue with both Verizon and T-mobile, nor does MMS or group SMS work. The interesting thing is that I'm also having issue with VoLTE (can't get online while on the phone), I'm wondering if it's related.
Hi guys,
Can y'all please try NEXT SMS and see if it work. Once you downloaded, open the app and inn the top left drop down, select More, then hit Setting, then select All on the right side, select MMS setting, then enter your carrier MMSC and PORT only. Carrier setting= Manual. Ok the bottom, or a check mark for using data for mms. Custom user agent= iPhone. Mms framework= smart.
Hope this help, it worked for me on Verizon
