[Q] Issue with out going MMS

My phone just suddenly stopped being able to send mms/picture messages (it was working fine uptill yesterday). No new apps have been installed, tried battery pulls but its still not working. When i try to send them. the phone will say "sending" but the message never gets sent, it will just stay that way until i delete the message.
Im in Pakistan so am using the international GSM note gt-n7000. Funny thing is, I am receiving mms just fine and can browse the net using the data network connection aswell.
I was on stock GB when the issue started and now just updated to stock ICS 4.0.3 and the problem still persists.(im non rooted btw)
Also the few other people i know who have the same network as me, but are in another city are experiencing no problem whatsoever.
I have tried everything i could think of, using the default access point settings as well as manually entering them but nothing seems to work.
Could this be a problem with my phone and not my network?

Hi, I am having same issues on AT&T: i am unable to send/receive MMS/connect to inet. Everything worked fine before the ICS update.

I would suggest that you call ur operator pertaining to this matter.
By the way, could you tell us what is your Modem, kernel and ROM?

its all stock, have yet to root the phone, the ics is the official Germany release. The problem started when i was on GB and persisted when i came over to ICS... i can cope with a network problem, just hope its nothing hardware related..

Do you have other Sim card from other operator? That is another way to isolate the issue

No MMS after 4.4.2

Hello,
I have an AT&T HTC One running a Straight Talk (ATT LTE) SIM. When I first had the phone everything was running great. Great speeds, SMS, MMS, etc. Now, for some reason, I no longer get any MMS! I still get full speeds and regular messages, but not pictures or group messages (sending or receiving).
We set my wife's S3 Mini up the same way, and she is able to get everything (minus LTE for obvious reasons). The only difference is that I updated to 4.4.2.
I've tried every single ST APN I can find, and still am not able to send/receiving any MMS's. Has anyone else had this issue?
Thanks.
P.S. If this is in the wrong area, I apologize.

I am having the same issue. SMS works fine, no MMS. MMS just sits in Undelivered status.
Running rooted 4.4.2, S-OFF, Bulletproof Kernel.

unfortunately same for me. Already double checked APN settings and network types.
Tried many different APN from my carrier and still no MMS, mobile data is working good.
When I try to send/receive a MMS I can see the mobile data icon appear briefly but no data get transferred.
Already contacted my carrier. Tech support said my apn was properly set and that everything on their side was good (in my account).
I might try to downgrade my sw soon so I can see if its really 4.4.2 that is causing this. I'll report back.

Thanks for the replies! Glad it isn't just me. I've even tried using other Messenger apps, but still nothing.

Same here. HTC ONE at&t on Straight Talk service. No mms after update. This is so frustrating! I was on the phone with ST yesterday for a few hours and they are all clueless on how to fix it. The only advice I got was to downgrade back to 4.3

Any word yet? I've made zero progress so far contacting both HTC and Straight Talk.

No, I'll probably downgrade and test this week when I'll have time. I'll keep you informed.

I've noticed this issue since T-Mobile updated mine to 4.4.2. However, I think I've figured out a workaround. I had checked APN, everything was fine. But, I use wi-fi most of the time. I couldn't receive any MMS, people would say they sent me stuff but I never got it, or I'd get a message that "can't be downloaded". So, when I was talking to a friend, I had him send me an MMS. I didn't get it. But, I turned off the Wi-Fi and suddenly the MMS appeared. We tested it over and over again. With wi-fi connected I can't receive MMS, as soon as wi-fi disconnects, the MMS are immediately downloaded. A big bug in the 4.4.2 I think.

I'm on ATT - not straight talk. Running ViperOne 5.7, which is a Sense 4.4.2 ROM. Group MMS stopped working seemingly out of nowhere. Have tried Hangouts, Stock Messages, and EvolveSMS. Played with APN settings, tried the wi-fi on/off trick, no luck. The strange thing that I have noticed is that every time I restart the device, it goes ahead and sends/receives all the MMS before going back to not working.

ST had me go into me browse (?) and delete the cache, cookies, etc. They apparently tell everyone that. Does not work. This makes no freaking sense!

I would change ROMs, but I have a bad habit of doing something wrong and screwing up my phones.

MMS not functioning while on Wifi

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.

Problem with SMS

Ok so i figured i would look for help here before ending up at a t-mobile store with my rooted g4.
My issue is as of yesterday my phone stopped being able to send sms. It receives them fine. And can place and receive calls fine. My bill is paid up and my service is A-OK. I have the same results on cellular or wifi calling. Text gets stuck as "sending". Then never sends or fails. Just stays as "sending" even after rebooting.
I'm running the 10n firmware, rooted and debloated. I have not changed any settings or any apps recently at all. It just sorta stopped.
I have tried:
-removing and cleaning my sim card
-clearing cache
-screaming at my phone
-turning off wifi
-canceling all pending texts, rebooting, clearing cache again
All with no luck. Any advice? Ideas? Theories?

I find myself constantly rebooting when this occurs, which is often.
It's the one disappointing problem with this phone.

Have you tried any other text apps, such as textra or handcent, just to see if it's your messaging app?

gonna try Textra next. Seems to be a popular suggestion.

Had this happened to me too. Tried Textra and it got better but still has hiccups

Tried Textra, Chop and a couple others. None as good as the OEM LG app. I think this phone just has wifi issues.

MMS no longer auto retrieves with oreo

I made the switch to oreo several weeks ago and have not been able to get any MMS messages to automatically turn the data on.
I've tried quite a few messaging apps to make sure it wasnt that and have tried several different APN settings for Cricket.
At this point it just seems like I may have missed something when flashing over to Oreo (N95OU version).
Has anyone else experienced this and found a fix for it?

I have the same problem on Verizon. I can't send MMS on stock messenger app. Why do we have to suffer every time a software update happens? I have a Note 8!

No suffering here. Awesome battery life. Everything works just like it should. Are you on the official crc2 oreo release? I'm actually using crc5 but even on crc2 I didn't have that problem.

I'm literally having the same problem. Driving me nuts

Got to your settimgs and reset your iternet settingsa amd mobile alsonit wil do it also after that it will work you will get the mms

any work around with not able to send sms? I ahve the note 8 N9500. before I can send sms with att and tmobile sims as I have dual sim. after I rooted I can't send anymore sms. apns are all correct, wipe the phone even to factory settings. then Even tried the revert to original firmware not working yet. anybody that had the same problem with sending sms after update?

Bump.. anyone found a solution to this? I updated to Oreo on Verizon note 8, and MMS stopped auto retrieving MMS. Now everytime there's a group msg, I have to turn off WiFi and click the download button to download msgs, timestamp will be messed up tho.
Please anyone know how to fix this, it's annoying. I want to go back to nought if I cantget this to work.

Couldn't download mms on my note8 after software "upgrade". Took my note 8 to the Samsung guru at Best Buy. She got rid of downloaded messaging apps, told me I should be using the original firmware. Set it up. Turned on data and it worked. I began downloading mms immediately.

MMS works when data is turned on. It's just that when data is turned off or when both WiFi and data is turned on, MMS does not auto retrieve. It used to auto retrieve on 7.1.1 when data is turned off or both WiFi and data turned on. When data turned off, MMS used to auto turned on data temporarily to download the MMS, but not anymore. I really want to fix this. It's very annoying. Now, It will just tell me there's a MMS message to download
