After I update my Nexus 4 to Android 4.2.1, I can't send MMS.
After I click the send, there is a toast notification told me the service not available or balabala.
I am wondering whether you have the same problem for your Nexus 4 after updating to Android 4.2.1?
Thanks.

I was having the same problem but was able to resolve it. Are you using the stock messaging app or 3rd party? Any 3rd party app I was using (GOSMS, Handcent, ChompsSMS) would not send mms but then I tried it through the stock and it worked perfectly. Something happens when trying to send through 3rd party app where it decides not to work. Not sure why.

That's for stock MMS. But I after reboot the phone it seems good, but when the receiver received the photo, it was distorted.
If I use whatsapp, it worked well.
Not sure what happend for Android 4.2.1
Looks like 3rd party text apps like GoSms have to recode mms for 4.2.1. I have the same issues.
Also on GoSms "private box" doesn't work anymore.

I am having some weird intermittent MMS issues as well - stock 4.2.1 N4. When I attempt to send a pic, it perpetually says 'sending', but seemingly never gets sent. I am also not receiving most MMS pics from others, from what I can tell? Solution anyone?!?

Has anyone been able to fix this? I'm completely unable to send MMS right now. It isn't working through the stock app, I've changed the APN setting to multiple different configurations I found, pulled and put in the SIM card, no cigar. This is driving me mad. I'm on T-Mobile if that's of any assistance.
is this still an issue with the latest update? also who has group mms checked?
It's the same for me on my GNEX with GOSMS - I cannot send or receive MMS. I'll try stock sms and report back.

It's working fine on stock messaging app - I have written to the devs and suggest you all do the same!
Can not receive or send MMS on at&t media net plan. Also can not do group messaging but I'm still researching to see if that is a normal problem with Android.
*****
update - for whatever reason i had to create two different APNs for MMS and Internet and this allowed me to get group messaging and picture messages. let me know if there are other ATT people on MEdiaNet who need assistance in this.
Same here with 4.2.1 and Swisscom provider... :crying:
I had the MMS issue where it would say "sending" and remain in that state. I also could not receive MMS messages. Even on sick messaging. I called AT&T last night and they had to put my new IMEI number in their system. I had to turn off my phone while they sent a refresh OTA. Turned out back on and all good.

Finally it works! The problem was a entry that cm10 has added to the gprs settings APN-TYPE default,supl. I deleted ",supl" and voilà, it works perfect (entry came back but since then it works). i like my phone! :good:
What exactly does the "supl" mean anyway in that setting?
i can't seem to send any picture messages, im on rogers , it just 'hang's at sending...
I'm rooted and on stock ROM, it usually sends MMS while on 3g but on wifi it doesn't, it's just stuck on sending... Help?
Btw what is supl

This whole cant send on wifi thing is new to me. It shouldnt matter if youre on wifi or not. It still uses the cell tower to send/retrieve MMS.
same here, but a buy newer fone
I have found that on att I can only use stock app to send Mms. Hopefully a third party one will work soon.

this should fix your issues
I like many of you had this very same issue. Until fixing it tonight and testing I thought I had the elite of apn's my data went from .02 Mbps to 10mbps when I removed the WAP.Cingular stock APN. And replaced it with what users on here were using and it was a insane difference. However I never did have MMS working so I was searching all over and a post on reddit had linked my to this site on another sub forum. So I tried it and bam my MMS is working. Now if there was a way to fix the MMS slideshow thing without adding an app let me know
Here's the link to fix your issues guys:

hope you find this helpful as I did.

I am having the same problem
So i have the ota lollipop release on my N4. the google messenger app will not send mms (pictures or group texts). i figured it was my apn settings, but out of a hunch i decided to set hangouts as the sms/mms app. to my surprise, the hangouts app will send MMS.
anyone else noticed this or have a fix? i would like to use the stock messenger app if possible.
Anezarati, I've got the same exact issue. Ended up uninstalling Messenger last night because of it. Would love a fix as well - definitely prefer it vs hangouts or aosp messaging.
EDIT: just found that the MMS port in my APN was incorrect (on AT&T, MMS port was blank, it should be 80). Fixed my problem, hopefully it works for you too!
Some lollipop users are experiencing the same issue.. It will remain until Google patches it.. Or some Dev comes up with a fix

ive been using hangouts for a few weeks due to issues with other apps not receiving mms. just downloaded the newer google messenger today and it cannot send or receive mms. my apn settings are complete and accurate. really confused.
I'm having an issue sending and receiving mms messages, unless my 6p is plugged into a power source. It was working fine until last Saturday. I'm running stock, with the bootloader unlocked. I don't have any adblockers, and tried changing the APNs, and some other tricks people have tried on the forum. Any help or advice would be great.

I apologize, I have tried turning off WiFi, turning on and off airplane mode, enabling and disabling auto mms download. I have WiFi calling off. As soon as I plug my 6p into a power source it will download them. It isn't restricted to just pictures, or contact cards.. I also received a longer text that was sent as an mms and it wouldn't download.

Which carrier and texting app are you using? I've heard there were issues with an update to Verizon's texting app recently in regards to MMS.

The change to the Verizon app was they disabled MMS over Wifi with the recent update. You can get around that restriction by installing a previous version of the app.

I'm on Verizon, I'm using the stock messenger app. I've tried Hangout as well but same result. I have not tried the Verizon app. I know the newest update was causing issues and would have to install the previous version.

Where is a good trustworthy place to download the previous version of the Verizon messages app?

I was able to resolve the MMS issue last night. I downloaded the Verizon messages+ app ver. 6.0.6 and tested to make sure that I was able to send myself a picture and was, I then went to my APN setting reset to default, retested with the VZW app and still worked, back to APN changed MMSC and MMS port. Reboot my phone checked that the APN setting didn't change, did a retest with VZW still worked. Opened messenger (stock app) and did a test and MMS was working there as well. So far still using messenger and things are still working. Hope that helps anyone.

Is anyone having a similar issue with Rogers in Canada? My regular text messages usually send immediately but when I send photos or screenshots (MMS), it will get stuck and won't send. Also, when these MMSs are stuck, my regular SMSs won't send either until I get a notification that MMSs has failed. Then all my SMSs can be sent. It seems like Rogers issue for not being able to process larger MMSs but I want to know if others using Rogers are experiencing it.
I recently purchased an axon 7. Everything works perfect except my ability to send MMS and SMS messages. I am on a regional carrier named cellcom out of Wisconsin. They are CDMA and share 4g towers with Verizon. I have tried several messaging apps and none have worked. I have no problem receiving MMS and SMS messages just can not send them. Any advice would be great!
Try manually adding in your carrier's APN settings.
Manually enter apn
I copies the APN settings from another phone on my plan and that's when I was able to start receiving MMS but when I try to send it just says service not activated on network
Talk to CellCom about it - a lot of people have been having problems getting the CDMA services to work on this phone. I would only recommend this phone for GSM service
Cellcom gave me the old if we don't sell the phone it won't work on our network. Everything works perfect except sending MMS. Honestly I can live without it if I have too.

hi,just wandering if it's A2017U or A2017G?
Try a different app. I recommend trying Textra.
I know on B18 or whatever came on the phone originally had issues. Supposedly they fixed their messaging app later on B20 but i haven't used since i bought the phone. Have it disabled.

I'm having a similar issue on T-Mobile using Chomp SMS but only with MMS
I had the same issues with AT&T. I solved the issue by using Textra and changing this option.....
Settings > MMS > MMS Behavior = System
If that is the option you have set, change it to Legacy.
Hope that helps.
I had a similar problem - I contacted ZTE France who advised me on (new) APN settings and to ensure that Hangouts wasn't my default messaging app.
I updated the APN and switch away from Hangouts and can now send & receive MMS messages.
I then went back to Hangouts - and no longer able to send ... so the APN might have been a red herring (I didn't compare old to new settings - just deleted the old) ... and it was Hangouts all along.
Anyone else having issues sending MMS via anything other than the stock app? I've used Textra, Evolve, and now Google's messenger and none will send MMS nor receive MMS, I have to open the stock app on the phone to get them. I actually went a week not knowing it was happening until someone mentioned they had sent me a pic, so I opened the stock messaging app and showed I had a lot of MMS I hadn't even received.
I revoked permissions from the stock app, reinstalled the other app, even etc, but still nada, can't send/receive MMS at all.
Thoughts?

I am using YAATA no issues, but I did not disable the stock app or verizon messenger+ because my watch uses verizon messenger+
MMSCC Url
http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms
MMS Proxy
nothing (blank)
MMS Port
80
I also put mms over wifi
I haven't disabled anything, and it still doesn't work. I have given every app all the permissions they needs (stock messenger, google messenger, etc) yet it still won't send MMS in Evolve, or Google Messenger........ONLY the stock LG Messenger.
Anyone have any more ideas?
Actually ive had issues with mine on occasion using Textra. Tells me that my APN settings are not working or something like that. Mines AT&T variant though. Idk whats up but its annoying as hell.
But after like 10 minutes it works just fine again.

Did you buy it from Verizon? In other words is it the Verizon model, or just being used in Verizon?

I've had the same issue. The weird thing is it started out working fine - I'd installed Google Messenger and I received mms group texts just fine for a couple days, but now every mms message just says "downloading"...
Same issue here, with Verizon phone. Also worked fine for first week or so using Google Messenger. Now neither that nor LG Messages apps can send/receive MMS - only Verizon Messages+ works.

I can't figure that one out, why it worked initially... I haven't taking the OTA, and I didn't really do anything that should have changed that, it just up and quit...
I've had luck getting Textra to work. There's an MMS Behavior option in there - Legacy appears to work (I think that's the default), system does not, then it's all just perpetually downloading...
not here. using unlocked us996 on Verizon and sends mms on textra fine

correction: apparently LG Messaging and Verizon Message+ both work. Google Messenger and Google Hangouts do not. Guess I'll try some other 3rd party apps...

Textra and Evolve neither worked for me
I've used Textra on my VZW V20 since day one.. ZERO issues.
GOSMS works, as long as you have it set to "legacy".
What's maddening is Textra used to work fine, but then just stopped.
UPDATE: Uninstalled all 3rd party messaging apps, rebooted, reinstalled Textra.......working again. YAHOO!!!!!!!!

This is the solution. Download YAATA, navigate to Settings > MMS and manually configure the APN using the settings posted by dwertz (see post #2).
