Would anyone be so kind to test this for me? Here's my problem. If I'm connected to WiFi or 4G, I can't send MMS. To be more specific, I CAN send MMS, but it takes a VERY VERY long time (basically at 1x SMS speed as opposed to the recommended 3G speeds MMS is capable of using).
So if anyone could try the following that would be great. While connected to WiFi, try to send or receive a picture or video.. basically any MMS. What SHOULD happen is 3G should come on (while WiFi is still connected) and quickly download/send your MMS message. That's not what's happening to me. When I send or recieve 3G never comes on so it takes forever. If I disable WiFi or am not connected to a network it sends/receives through 3G just fine. This only happens when I'm connected to a WiFi network or to 4G.
works fine
If you don't already have it enabled try enabling background data as well. Then try to send your mms and see if it helps.

what setup do you have?
Are you using a rom that has the mms hack? try turning it off so it will compress them down more and it may work...
Thanks for the replies, guys. I'm running ViperRom RC 1.3. This was happening before I rooted and installed ViperMod though, but I'll look up the MMS hack and find a way to disable it.

i have a bit of a problem with 3G data and mms. in original stock 2.1 from SE i can disable 3G data, but that will not turn off MMS sending and receiving.
however, in most froyo, including in CM6-final. this is not possible. we have to enable both 3G data to get mms to work. however... i dont have a 3G data plan, and it can be very expensive .............
here are some facts that i have tried out:
1. using SE stock 2.1, it is possible to disable 3G data but still receive send mms
2. using SE stock 2.1, it is possible to have only 1 APN for mms without other types (default, supl), but still receive send mms
3. it is a froyo bug, based on things i found on the internet
4. some brand such samsung motorola, have patched it
5. i tried to set up different APN for mms (mms) and 3G (degault,supl). still can not do mms without 3G data
6. i set up only 1 APN for mms... it doesnt work
7. different APN for mms and 3G data, send an mms to myself, works, and then i delete APN for 3G data. now mms can work with only mms APN. and i dont have 3G data activity at all. but after restart. can not work again
anyone, any idea how to get the mms working without enabling 3G data?
ok. thank you
cheers

thanx man!
unfortunately, i tried that in my step 6 above
"6. i set up only 1 APN for mms... it doesnt work"
it won`t connect. saying data service unavailable... the only way i can get mms to work is by "fishing" 3G data using 2 APN, and then delete APN for internet, leaving MMS alone. still, after i reboot, i get data service unavailable and have to "fish" again.

i assumed that u followed the instructions word by word rite?
personally, i'm not using 3G connection, i only use 2G and my service operator won't charge any excess fee if i leave my connection on..so i can't really help much
i just happen to saw that thread and i thought that might do some help to u..
Yup
Thanks. I really appreciate it. I can not use 2g here in japan. All network services are in 3g. No more 2g.
Oot a bit, it was quiet amazing for me, as a foreigner, in sendai that during the earthquake, 3g data service are fully operasional at full speed eventhough we hno gas water and all.
Anyway, I finally found the answer.
I installed quick settings from market (they have several app with that name, i use the one by sergej shafarenka). Use it to disable mobile data.get mms, with not 3g internet.
it wasnt my idea too to be honest. Someone post it in an old thread for samsung galaxy. I ran in to it accidentally today. Fiuuuhhhh...now I would not have to worry anymore
Hi all first post here not first visit though
I tried to post on the forum for this ROM but apparently i need to post 10 times in the general sections first.
Everything works perfect, smooth as hell, only problem I'm having is with MMS.
When i go to send an MMS it just says "sending" but never sends and stays in the same state.
Any help with this would be appreciated, I Have tried deleting and adding the APN/MMS settings still no avail.
I cannot find anything in the settings to select the MMS set (i know in android 2.1 update 1 there was a setting in message settings to select the MMS set of settings.

Hi,
I don't have that ROM, but mine have the same Android version and I just experienced the same problem.
To work, you need to have 3G enabled and data enabled. If you don't want Internet access on 3G, you need to misconfigure the Internet APN before enable the data.
Also, I use only 2G to save battery. After enabled 3G, I needed to reboot the phone to the radio correctly identify the 3G network and connect.

I have 3g and data enabled thats not my problem, my problem is it wont send an MMS, as i stated above.......
"Everything works perfect, smooth as hell, only problem I'm having is with MMS."
I'm sorry but your post was a waste of time.
So the MMS apk in the 1.22 version of ICS did the toggle where if I send a picture while connected to WiFi, the 3g data will kick on briefly while still connected to WiFi, send the pic, then toggle 3g back off. In the 2.13 version and this new 3.15 version, it doesn't do that. Like, ill be connected to WiFi and try sending a pic and the 3g data will not toggle on in the background. I have to manual turn WiFi off, wait for data to toggle on, send the pic, then turn WiFi back on and that's a long annoying process.
Mms over WiFi doesn't work for me because my mms server is cricket not sprint.
Any modders out there that can or would take on this project or help point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

I can receive Pictures but can send them. I have tried to send with wifi on and off, i have tried with mobile data on and off with a combination of 4g and mobile network and wifi. Still cant send a picture, i can connect to wifi, 4g and mobile network fine. I also can get pictures with wifi off and on. Ive read that it could be a problem with my apn so i have done a reset. The only think i can think now is to restore Ruu back up apn and restore with custom rom/kernel. If there is any other way to fix or work around this i would greatly appreciate it.
Hey guys, I have a T-Mobile branded Galaxy S5 (SM-G900T) that I'm using on Metro PCS and whenever I connect to wifi I can't receive mms messages. I will get the text and it will ask me to download the image but then I get a never ending progress bar. So then I'll turn off WiFi and I will have bars but the 4G LTE indicator will be gone and the only way to get it back is to reboot the phone. Any ideas as to what this could be? I have tried using both the T-Mobile & Metro PCS APN settings but the issue still happens no mattter which APN the phone is set to. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

No ROM, it's stock.
wifi calling enabled and set to only make calls on wifi?
This will happen when you have wifi calling enabled. That is why you see the cell signal bars go gray or grayed out. Turn off wifi calling and you will see you signal bars come back, as long as you have cell signal (service) at your house.

Having WiFi calling enabled won't affect your data and messaging at all unless there is a connection issue with the router.

It sounds like a connectivity issue on the routers side if the APNs are correct. I would go back to Metro PCS APNs then check your signal strenth and link speed in the phones WiFi settings, then check to make sure WiFi calling does not display an error in the call settings. If all 3 are good then check your client list on router and make sure phones IP address and MAC id is there. If IP and MAC id are good run diag log on router and possibly change/test different wireless channels on your router.
I never have WiFi calling enabled so I don't see that as a cause, and I have tried both the MetroPCS and T-Mobile APN settings and it still happens. I'm still able to receive calls and send text messages but I can't receive MMS messages or access data. The only way to fix the issue is to turn on airplane mode for about 10 seconds and then turn it off and I get the 4GLTE signal indicator back along with full service. Its really weird because when this happens, I still have a signal indicator with 3-4 bars but the only the 4GLTE indicator disappears.

I will get the same issue as stated above. When you have bars present with no data icon, its because your phone is latching on to another network when MetroPCS is not to be found. At my office, T-Mobile service is the pits, yet i get bars present. I usually open the dialer and type *#0011# and it will show what band your phone is picking up, from there you can tell if you are really on MetroPCS or someone elses network.
