MMS and 5.1.1 - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6

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

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

MMS apn settings

Ok so I had to do a factory reset on my nexus for an unrelated reason. I am on the web2go data plan and I had my apn settings for data and another for mms. Everything was working fine until I did the reset. I entered the same settings and now I cant send or receive any mms's. Here are my settings for my mms:
Name: T-Mobile US-MMS
APN: epc.tmobile.com
APN type: mms
Everything else is set to default. This kinda sucks because some long text messages that I send or receive are converted to mms. So any help on how to get my mms back. I would feel cheated having a superphone with no mms *cough iphone <3.0 cough*
I had a stock Nexus One ROM and then flashed the Desire one... since I've flashed my MMS has not been working either... and I definitely have the correct APN settings, I've tripple checked it!
Problem solved. I forgot to put default as apn type for data access.
Above do you have the same settings above as mine? Also did you try reboot? Was mms fine before you flashed rom?
My settings are different as I'm using Vodafone NZ but I've looked up the information and I'm 100% sure I've got it correct... Are you saying your MMS didn't work until you changed the APN type for your data APN to default??
And yeah I was able to PXT and 3G when I first got my Nexus One, after I flashed the Desire ROM I lost 3G and PXT... When I set the correct APN I managed to get 3G working but still no MMS
I am having the same issues on tmobile us. I can not get the pictures to download. Before I had some settings wrong, after fixing them I do not get the error anymore, but I do not get to download the message. Anyone have any ideas or solutions yet??? I am using Modaco Aplha 19

What about sending MMS? If I try to send an MMS it just sits there loading forever and never sends (This is using handcent) and when I try to download an image it just says downloading forever... :/
I'm relieved to hear someone else has a similar issue on Alpha 19.. Means its more likely to be a software issue and not something to do with my provider !
guys - you'll probably get more help if you search/post your issue in the MoDaCo Alpha 19 thread vs. starting a new one. this - unfortunately - is a common issue with this version of the ROM. it seems to be an inconsistent issue as well; sometimes i can send/receive without a problem other times i can't.

Try sending yourself a MMS first and see if you receive it.
And also check your apn setting.

Yup I have tried sending myself a MMS, it won't send. Thanks for being patient guys.
Ive been having the same issue with my captivate ever since I flashed ICS on my phone. I started with AOKP Build 27, and it hasnt worked since until I flashed Milestone 5 of AOKP saturday night. After restoring all my apps after flashing Milestone 5, my MMS worked for the first time in ages. I charged my phone, went to sleep, woke up, and my MMS no longer works. I have the correct APN settings as well. I think it has something to do with the Data Network being enabled or disabled upon startup, or something. Im not really sure.
I figured out how to fix my MMS issues, it may work with yours as well.
Try enabling both Data, and Data Roaming and sending yourself an MMS.
When I have them disabled, I cannot send or receive MMS. When enabled, MMS works fine.
Give it a try
Having the same problem. I just flashed Milestone 5 on saturday, and I haven't been able to send or receive MMS. Everything else works fine (apart from the screen not automatically turning on when I get a text). I wiped, re-installed milestone 5, and still no fix.
My screen turns on when I get a text, its just that when the screen turns back off, my captivate buttons dont stay lit to notify me i have an unread text message. They use to stay on with build 28, but ever since then they havent worked.
As for MMS, did you try my suggestion turning on Data Mode and Data Roaming?
Yes, I did. I tried doc's rom, and a few other ICS roms as well. Nothing works for MMS. Might flash back to a GB rom until the issue gets resolved.
I got MMS working. Go to your apn settings, and then hit the very left touch botton on the phone (looks like paper), and reset apn settings. Fixed mine. Even on original messaging app.

Resetting APN settings didnt work for me. I still have to Enable both Data Mode and Data Roaming to send MMS.
Hmm. I'll tell you exactly what I did.
-Downloaded Handcent
-Tried sending a pic to a buddy
-Message failed to send
-Uninstalled Handcent
-Went into APN, and selected "Rogers"
-Changed the MNC under rogers to 702
-Rogers APN deleted itself
-Reset default APN settings
-Re-Selected Rogers
My unsent MMS' suddenly sent.

Hmm. It's almost like sending MMS is "unstable". Sometimes, it wills send a picture, but a minute later, if I try to send another, It won't send. This is aggravating.
I tried everything suggest, I'm still having issues sending or receiving. Someone MUST know this issue, it changes from ROM to ROM. Some roms work some don't! I'm on RemICS right now and still can't get it to work. Argh!

Moto X on Straight Talk?

I bought a customized moto X on Motorola's website. It is an At&T phone without contract.
I paid $13 online for the unlocking service and received an unlocked code and the phone is sim unlocked.
Problem: I created a new straight talk APN setting , phone calls and text are working, BUT NO MMS AND DATA. I contacted straight talk many times and they sent me several APN settings , none of them worked.
I did a little research online, the problem might be caused by the two built-in att APNs coming with the phone. The sad thing is it cannot be deleted!
Further researches revealed in order to delete the att APNs the phone needs to be rooted. But rooting a ATT moto X requires a UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER! As of now only. SPRINT , VERIZON AND US CELLULAR HAVE UNLOCKABLE moto X , rooting cannot be done for my Att moto X ! I am desperate , please help, folks !!!
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
Ok well your main issue I unfortunately cannot help with but I can at least clear you of one misunderstanding that you seem to have.
Root does not require an unlocked bootloader. In fact root for AT&T is coming very soon.
Now, I don't know if rooting is even your best option, but if it is all you have to do is wait a couple days.
Sent from the sexiest Moto X ever created using the XDA Premium app
Straight talk tech support sent me another email containing a new APN setting and it is still not working, the emails says they did some adjustment from their end....not working ....
I just hope the AT&T root comes out quickly ......

Yeah are there any tips anyone has? I just activated a AT&T moto X on Straight Talk and stupidly did the update so I can't root right now, Texting/Phone works but not MMS, I'm assuming because of the APNs that you can't delete?
Edit: see below reply.
wait seriously? you can't completely set up an apn without root on the at&t version? is this for real? i just bought a used one to use on ST, and i'm not sure i'm buying it but unfortunately won't know til i get my phone in a few days. can people with at&t moto x's on ST chime in?

Update! I went back and verified and I had actually messed up the APN, once I made it the correct settings and rebooted, I was able to SEND mms but not receive it. Then I woke up this morning, and now that is working as well. I did not root and still have the stock apn's in my phone, I just 'selected' the ST one.

mine worked fine as soon as i put in the new APN. looking at yours, the first thing i see is you have a port when you shouldn't. not sure otherwise. try adding a new APN and only put in values for what ST now gives with the tfdata setting (port is MMS port).
if that doesn't work, how old is your SIM? you may need the old settings to get it working.. they switched over to the new one sometime in the last few months and left everyone to figure it out but it seems that SIMs purchased after a particular, mysterious date need the tfdata one.
also, if you're just getting it set up today you might try waiting another day or so. i've jumped back and forth a few times and i know at least once or twice it's taken a day or so for MMS to catch up.

Note it looks like I edited my post after you replied. Meant port, not proxy - but leave MMS port. Also, you may need to wait a good day or so for everything to "take" with the new SIM after porting.

Yes it should. I've had to wait the better part of a day before for MMS to start working correctly, but can't remember the same for data (although it could be true). Did you reboot and all that jazz? Not to dumb it down too much for you, but did you remember to select the "bubble" next to the APN name after you saved it? I've almost missed that before. Other than that, I guess you'll have to wait 24 hours and call Straight Talk - they won't tell you anything other than "wait 24 hours" if you call before then.
edit: and can you make/receive calls as-is at least?

yep, i have the bubble selected on the apn screen and rebooted several times. I can call and recieve sms but no mms/data. Only other thing I wanted to try and can't is deleting the factory APNs, but can't with no root.

Im new to this T-Mobile service as well as Sony Xperia Z1s and I have been having issues sending and receiving group messages which are MMS since the first day... T-Mobile says some bull**** its a common problem with Android phones or that each member in the group must have group messaging enabled. Well it worked just fine when I was on AT&T with a Samsung Galaxy S4 so i told them there full of crap. Its either the phone thats having the issue or its T-Mobile and ive done some research and there are several phones that have issues with MMS on T-mobile not just the Sony... Call them and escalate past the donkeys at level one and get to level two so they can submit an incident report to the engineers so they can fix it. It is there job to fix this type of ****.

I figured out the problem, it has something to do with their LTE network. Whenever I am on LTE, I won't be able to do MMS, but if you go to
Mobile Network --> Network Mode ----> choose WCDMA/GSM only.
The phone will be running on H+ or 3.5G instead of LTE, then all the MMS will go through without problems. Once you switch back to LTE the problem occurs again..it's retarded.

Now to fix the issue with MMS messages being separated for no good reason (stock app can't handle them properly).
Guys...............this is the answer to your MMS problems. I have the Z3 and the same issue with the crappy stock text app. Textra is fantastic, looks COOLER than stock, and has all sorts of neat extras. (The add-on app that gives you cool iOS emojis that look better than the ones that come stock with Textra can be found here.)
My notes on Textra (please read):
2) ENABLE Stock Messenger app, making sure in "App info" screen (in Settings) that the "Notifications" box is unchecked. (Not sure if unchecking it matters, but I'd do it anyway to avoid double notification of incoming texts.) Also, under Stock Messenger's settings, make sure ALL boxes are unchecked as well. (You can try disabling stock text app if you want, but I don't, so not sure you really should either, but it might still be ok?)
3) In Textra (download this great text SMS/MMS messaging app if you haven't already from Google Play Store), make sure it's your default app, under Settings, "Use MMS for Group Chats" should be checked, MMS Settings: No Limit, and check the T-Mobile Wifi Calling Fix box too. (Post here or PM me if you'd like additional Textra settings suggestions.)
OPTIONAL: IF HAVING ISSUES RECEIVING TEXTS FROM iPHONE USERS WHO HAVE iMessage ENABLED ON THEIR IPHONE, THEN FOLLOW THIS: And lastly, there’s the “iMessage” issue ppl like myself are/were having (also those with LG G2 I’ve heard have this issue too) where when someone with an iPhone sends you an MMS pic text msg while their iMessage option is on, you don’t get the text…….. try this (a T-Mobile store rep told me this and it worked!): send YOURSELF an MMS photo text msg but include at least one other phone # as well too. If you’re using Textra or anything besides just the stock text app, then do this for EACH app. If that is the case, then do it via stock app first then Textra (easier this way). If you receive the pic successfully, then ask anyone you know with an iPhone to send you an MMS message (preferably having a 3rd phone # in on it too, but not sure if you need to) with iMessage ON. If you receive it, then it worked. If not, try this again.
Good luck!

Can't Send MMS With wifi On

Just picked up a H811 to replace my H851 and am having MMS issues. Could not send or receive MMS and thought it was an APN issue as I'm on ATT. Finally figured out it's only happen if wifi is connected. If it's off MMS is fine. Of course I've tried pretty mush all the different APNs and most of the stock and modified stock ROMs on XDA and all are the same. Anyone have a clue?

As far as I know you need to be connected to mobile data to send MMS messages.

Yes that seems to be the issue, when wifi is connected it's blocking the cellular data connection so MMS can't send or receive. Not extremely happy with the performance as the only game I play is Flappy Bird and it seems laggy, even on the debloated ROMS and different Kernals. Had a Nexus 5X with the same CPU and no issue. Probably just return this phone but will miss the LG UI
