I know it has been a problem for the G1 to send/receive MMS messages from certain carriers, however I was wondering if any fix has been found. Currently my only problem is I cannot receive MMS messages from AT&T users, but sending/receiving with any other carrier works fine. Any ideas? Thanks!

tell them to put a subject on it, it will work
im on Cyanogen 3.6.8.1...it will work with a subject?
My girlfriend is on att, and that's the only way I can receive a mms from her. It works 100% of the time. No subject = no mms. Its annoying.
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.

Given the problems experienced by Vodafone users with HTC mobiles, I have posted my solution to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901491
I cant send mms to my wife's slide, my two friends' nexus ones, my other friend's iphone 3g, my other friend's iphone 3gs, my other friend's evo OR my mom's g1. I havent tried sending an mms in a while but i do remember problems on all of my android phones.
This really shouldnt be a problem right? Isnt this a pretty basic function of a super phone?
Ive tried everything i can think of, any ides? I really like this phone and im glad to hear about the forthcoming UI overhaul, but id rather the basic functions of the phone be dependable first. Any help would be awesome, perhaps there is a simple setting i havent thought of, although im pretty sure mms has worked in the past... thank you
What service do you have, does it include MMS? Is your APN setup correctly? MMS works fine for me, both sending and receiveing on T-Mobile.
I have never had a problem sending MMS via TMo.
Are you using Hancent or the stock msg? I have discovered that you have to make sure you change the settings for it to reduce it to send max mms size is 200k or else it won't go through. Most carries allow max of 250k mms size. Hancent has default of 1M.
ok thanks for the help. im on stock, i have tmobile with mms included with my service, also i receive mms fine.
How do i change the size limit and what should the apn be? i looked in the settings in the message app but couldnt find size limit...thanks
Your best bet is to call t-mobile @ 611 from your phone. When I switched from my iPhone 2g to my nexus recently, they fixed my internet and settings account-side to work with android. Worth a shot.
The default APN is T-Mobile US epc.tmobile.com

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?

My experiences have been for the past 3 weeks.
Yeah I was referring to my problem. It sounds like others are dealing with something different than I am.

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
I bought an Unlocked Nexus 6 from the Google Play Store 9 months ago (I love it), I'm using it on Verizon,... I have No problems at all sending MMS photos through messenger while connected to WiFi.
Then today I bought a Verizon Nexus 6 though Costco and MMS only works if Data is enabled. IT WILL NOT SEND PICTURES OVER WiFi??
I've compared the 2 devices, settings, VPN's, both are rooted, both running the same LMY48M, everything seems identical, yet the NEW Nexus 6 will not do WiFi MMS Photos it requires a data connection?
What am I overlooking?
Thanks.

i bet you are using different apn's or have a setting somewhere set differently.

Thanks, Checked all the APN's and they all appear to be identical. I'm on the phone right now with Verizon Tech support they are trying to figure this out. lol
I'll post a quick update if they give a solution.
Verizon has no idea what the problem is
Never seen MMS over WiFi only without a hack. MMS goes over Verizon data server. Unless something changed have to have the Vtext for mms that goes over data. I'm old school. Verizon could have changed their ways.

The carrier has to support WIFI mms. Last I knew only T-Mobile supported it at all. Normally MMS activates Cell Data (even if off) for a second to send the mms and then disables it again.

This info doesn't help in any way though. Why is the MMS not going through at all?
Check your apn. Is there anything under mmsc?

Hi,
I am on tmo with a unrooted stock build R. my MMSC is empty. should I populate with your apn in order to have mms over wifi? its so boring to turn data on/off just to send a mms.
Thanks.

guys, I was having the issue couple weeks ago (cricket) and it jsut went away. The wife was also having the same issue on her Nexus 5 and she had to switch to "textra" app to get the problem solved. Apparently it had to do something with Messenger app with google. It seems to be fixed now tho. Also i read somewhere its a bug somewhere in Marshmallow

I've never had MMS work over WiFi. If somebody sends me a MMS (and my mobile data happens to be off, and WiFi is on), I get a "download" message in Messenger app, and clicking that does nothing till I enable mobile data.
My APN shows T-Mobile GPRS (fast.t-mobile.com)
Edit: just found https://support.t-mobile.com/thread/57886
APN type was missing mms. I've added that, and will try out later today. Maybe that'll do the trick.
