So I just got my nexus 4 today. Amazing phone... but the only problem I keep having is sending picture messages. I was able to receive picture messages, but that also took a long time to receive. I am on Tmobile and anyone else experience the same problem? Any suggestions on if I should contact Tmobile or if I should play around with the APN settings? Or is just because my phone had about 25% of battery left? Any help would be great. Thanks

Had the same problem. Make sure your APN settings are correct for your carrier, fixed it for me.
This is mine from my sensation.

yah this is why i am going to make a run to att in the morning and let them cut my sim down and stick in their apn. then i can test what they want me to use around here. then test flashing different modems later on.
The nexus 4 is made to be world phone with no specific carier affect. Call up your carrier and ask them to send the MMS settings to your phones. That should fix it.

I guess I will try calling my carrier today and ask them to send the MMS settings... lets see if this works.
Also make sure your using the stock messaging app and not a third party one. That has also been known to cause issues. There's a few threads out there about this same issue that mention this.

deleted my APN and then manually created a new one with the exact same settings. rebooted. turned wifi off and attached a new pic and sent, it worked. tried it again with wifi on and it gets stuck "sending". sounds to me like my problem may be with wifi because if toggled back and forth turning it off and on and can reproduce the issue every time. for some reason mine doesn't like wifi on when sending mms.
BTW the old ones are still stuck showing "sending" so i'm not sure if they ever get delivered, have to wait for my girl to get home and ask her. the beauty of being with a school teacher, she can't use her phone at school!

i'm rooted but on stock messaging too. are you using wifi or mobile? the delete/manually recreate apn was something i saw on androidcentral when researching the issue. i'm about to call t-mo to rule out anything on their end. i never knew this was such a popular issue according to google.
if i send with wifi on it hangs on sending. i wait a minute, still stuck at sending. i then toggle off wifi and go back to messaging, and the for some reason it sends. weird...

called t-mobile, kinda useless. they verified apn settings and said everything was fine. the only useful info they gave which i completely overlooked was sending MMS to myself lol didn't even think of trying that instead of spamming my girl with useless pictures.
turns out i was wrong about just blaming wifi alone. the issue with mine was using wifi and adblock plus! i turned off adblock plus and everything was better. uninstalled the app until it's fixed and went with a hosts file replacement to block ads in the meantime.
having this problem too, i can't send via 3g or wifi, maybe i need to reboot

Yeah, THIS is weird. I was using Go SMS Pro and no pictures would go. But when I went to the stock messaging app for the pictures, they went almost immediately. The APN settings were correct, don't know what stops them from going with Go SMS.
Can confirm that Go SMS doesn't send pics no matter what.
Connection Problem - No Email & Not Sending Pictures
I took my phone to T-Mobile today They made a call to an "expert" and while I waited, the problem was solved. After updating to 4.3 on my Nexus 4, I couldn't connect to my email and could not send pictures. I was asked to delete my email accounts and re-enter them:victory:. This solved the problem! I guess after the upgrade, my connection/emails, whatever couldn't be 'read' so had to start from scratch. All of my email was there. Hope this helps someone else who's having this problem.
I'm on rogers canada, can't send pics sms either… stock or go sms

I'd really recommend GO SMS for text/MMS service. On go SMS settings change the maximum MMS size to 500 KB, and check "preserve image resolution". Also put Nexus as your user agent. Same with stock messaging if you prefer the stock. If you are using go SMS make sure to disable the stock so it does not interfere with each other. Hope it helps. This is my settings I use and it works.

I thought the exact same thing. I noticed I was sending a few more messages today then usual, though. It went off for ~2 hours and now I can text again. Makes me think twice about completely ditching my phone for a tablet with google voice though..
I generally send ~6,500-7,000 texts a month using gvoice and haven't ever encountered this. Were you sending lots of them in a very short amount of time? I am wondering if an anti-spam feature was kicking in or something.
I would say it's a spam detergent kicking in. In the second picture the error message says "too many at once"

I don't even know how many I send (where'd you get that number?) but usually I text one or 2 people sun up to down replying every 3 minutes or so. Today I doubled that and messaged about 5 people and around 5:40 -ish I started getting this error. I was able to send one or two messages from Gmail to SMS, then that stopped working.
I get this message when I attempt to send text messages to too many contacts at one time via the google voice website or the google chrome web browser extension. I think the limit is 5 at once. I use google voice all the time for texting and that message doesn't have anything to do with your text messaging limit.

Guys, I have had this happen to me many a-times.
It's Google, it has nothing to do with Sprint.
I think it's more likely to happen if you are texting many different numbers in a short period of time, especially if they have a different area code than you.
The only way to text is to have them forward to your phone and text via sms on your phone. [not the google voice app]
It's really ridiculous.
I like how the immediate response isn't "I wonder what's going on?" But rather "OH HELL NOGRRBL".
I find there's an amazing absence of patience or even a modicum of good old fashioned benefit-of-the-doubt until you're sure of what's actually going on. If anything happens that even remotely inconveniences people, we default to angry entitlement and have to be coaxed and spoiled before we even consider the possibility of being willing to think about listening to any scenario that doesn't involve Google/Sprint/whoever being anti-consumer.

Yeah, it is anti-spam and I think the algorithm is messed up.
There are two things that tick me off the most about this:
1) IT SHOULD NOT APPLY IF YOU ARE USING THE GV APP TO TEXT
2) IT SHOULD ABSOLUTELY NOT APPLY IF YOU'VE DONE THE SPRINT INTEGRATION
But alas, it's all up to Google to correct.

If this it's a google voice rule, then it should ABSOLUTELY apply IF and ONLY IF you're using google voice... Why would Sprint interfere with google or vice versa?
And why would it matter whether you've done the Sprint integration? You're still using google voice devices via Sprint's unlimited data connection...
Besides, it kinda looks like he was sending the sane text to multiple recipients - perhaps that is what caused him to hit the limit so fast?

Because Sprint integration means you're using it as your primary line so of course thousands of texts are to be expected.
I've personally reached this limit before.
It seems to occur more often when I text multiple numbers not in my area code.
A friend of mine never gets this, she texts 4239472349834923 texts a month but never texts someone outside of her area code.
The algorithm seriously needs a redo.
I'm more confused then angry. There was absolutely NO warning at all of my "limit" running out. Or a limit being in place at all. And, as I've said, I wasn't sending to multiple recipients. Just one person. After I send that, I respond to another one. Not both at the same time.
You should ask Google Voice for a refund.

So... MMS is not working on Hangouts. The reason being is because it uses its own custom apns.xml, with bad info. I suppose this is in regards to them not wanting to release source code? Why it doesn't revert to stock apn is beyond me. Anyone able to shed more light on this?

Is this a common problem on stock ROM? Haven't heard this discussed yet...that's a bummer.
Common problem with any ROM, the app, and a mass of phones in general.
im also having the same issues, the come in as trying to download, but fails to download at all (no data is being sent or recived
And this is due to false and or failed apn. Hangouts resorts to its own instead of the phones. Edit in your actual APN values. I bet it will work. An alternate fix is to extract the apk, remove the apns.xml file, and repack. Thus making it resort to stock apns. Have fun. GL.
Unpacked com.google.android.talk-2.apk. Removed the apns.xml. Repacked and reinstalled. MMS working...

You can do it yourself without root if you download the apk. It does install deeper though.

Tried uninstalling current release of Hangouts downloaded/installed through Play store, rebooting, and installing the one you linked to again. This time it installed, then immediately crashed during setup.

No apologies necessary my friend, on the contrary, thanks for trying to help me out here! That one installed no problem, and the first test I tried was downloading a previously received message that was "stuck". It still tried to download but never succeeded, just kept Retrying. I' waited for someone to send me a picture message to see if ones sent after the update was installed would work, but no joy. I then full uninstalled Hangouts, and used yours as a base install. This time it installed fine, but as soon as I clicked "Done", Hangouts crashed. Then every time I tried to launch hangouts, it would also crash.
Damn, that sucks. No clue why it would be crashing, pretty basic and only one file removed. Ben writhing perfect here. I am rooted though.
My problem is a little bit different.. I can send and receive MMS IF I enable the data plan. If data plan is disable..MMS cant send or receive anything.
Arent MMS supposed to connect to data automatically without us have to manually enable it (data)?
No. MMS use data. The carrier (if included in plan) negates it. It actually goes across the data network and does not auto switch. You won't get any MMS or standard internet services if in a non data zone unless on Wi-Fi or are using as app that supports MMS over a Wi-Fi connection. I was under the assumption that hangouts was supported, if sent to your actual hangouts id and not mobile number. The integration can be cumbersome to end users as it is not fully auto and can't really distinguish when you do or do not have a data or Wi-Fi connection. This is left to the user to distinguish. Best to let your contacts know to send MMS to your actual Google id. Just doesn't work that way. Why some prefer separate when not on MMS / data plans.

Hello all! I'm having a problem I hope someone can help me with. I recently updated my Note 3 with the leaked KitKat build and while everything seems to be working fine, I have lost the ability to receive MMS picture messages. I can send them to anyone just fine, but have not been able to receive one since. My fiance has sent me several and I don't get the picture or any kind of notification of a new message. I've tried both the stock messaging app, and Handcent, no difference with either. Anyone out there have any suggestions? Thanks!
Try the Verizon messaging app from the play store. You can even access your messages from the Web and has a built in cloud backup.

I had the same problem of sorts. Not sure if you could but I was able to get the picture message just not download it. I found that if I turned WiFi off and just went off cellular network it would download then though, but not when connected to wifi. Hope that helps.
I had the problem of sending mms with WiFi on with my Note 2, but no problems with mms at all on the Note 3 until the KitKat update. Is there a setting someplace that I am missing? It's weird that everything worked before the update.
Hopeful Solution?
Alright, here's my story, after switching from Sense to CM11 when I first got my HTC One a few months ago things were working alright, then at some point I lost the ability to send or receive mms messages. I looked online and found that there were a few people with the same problem, most said the problem had to do with the apn settings, the solution to was either modified apn settings or using an alternate messaging program, such as 8sms.
Anyways, I tried several different apn setups to try and get my mms back, my LTE internet worked, but no mms. Eventually I found a setup that allowed me to send a mms to someone, but not receive one. I figured that was a good as I was going to get it.
After a few OTA nightly updates I decided to tinker with the apn settings again; my hope being that one of the new nightlies would have fixed the problem if I restored my apn settings to default. This didn't help and cost me the ability to even send mms. Needless to say I scoured the web to find usable apn settings again (I prefer to use the stock messaging app), eventually I ended up Frankensteining several together and found a solution that allowed for me to send and receive mms, as well as my LTE internet!
[TL/DR]
Found APN settings that enable sending and receiving mms, as well as LTE internet (with a lte subscription, it's not a hack or anything).

I know some people have connection problems including wifi, idk anything about that. This is just the set up I found that got mms sending and recieving working again.
EDIT
Get to 'APN Settings' by opening 'Voice Dialer' and saying clearly "Open APN", this will prompt you to open APN Settings, from there you can edit things.

Fore me it works fine, i can send mms with wifi + data on. Did you fallow the instructions when you did the KK update...my suggestion is try to send the mms just using data but turn your wifi off, also make sure the receiver has the cellular data on if you are sending it to phone.
Hope it helps

Couple of things. 1 check to see if you connected to LTE, You cannot send MMS over wifi on Verizon. They took that feature out, dont know why. Second, Check to see if there any old MMS that are stuck, its good idea to delete all old MMS that are pending to be sent and retry.
Someone else posted something similar the other night, they had one of those old MMS stuck in resizing. He deleted that message and his MMS started working again.
I have a similar problem since I updated to Verizon Message version 6.06. I could not go back to the last version, and I was unable to find the prior version APK file; however, Amazon had a very old version of Verizon Message, so I loaded that and it fixed the issue. I was also able to use the stock message app to get and send MMS, but with Verizon's app I could not.

I had trouble with my 6p sending MMS. After googling it, I found people with the same issue and quite a few had pushbullet installed and said that once they uninstalled it, it worked fine. Once I uninstalled it, MMS started working again.

This happened to me the other day. I tried turning data on/off, airport mode on/off, restarting the device, clearing data&cache from the Messages application as well as reverting Messages to factory and reinstalling the updates.
Either by chance or by one/all of those things, it seemed to clear up.
This is not just Verizon, it's happening to T-Mobile also but I don't think it's a carrier issue. My nexus 5 does the same thing as my 6p. Rebooting the phones and it starts working again. This affects group messaging also. When I receive a group text it days unable to download. Restart they phone and it comes through. Hopefully this is a marshmallow issue that will hey fixed ota.
It's the app. Mostly happens to me when WiFi is connected with "WiFi calling" enabled. I disable WiFi and reboot the phone and then everything works again. It happens to me once in every month, if that. Don't bother me much.
Unfortunately the MMS function of Android Messages is broken on the GS8 when Wifi is turned on. Unlike my Nexus 6, which is what I'm coming from, the GS8 completely dsables LTE/data when Wifi is on. And since Android Messages doesn't support Wifi, you cannot send/receive MMS messages. When viewing the latest reviews on the Play Store for Android Messages, I'm not the only one with this problem. I spent a good portion of my day yesterday trying to figure out how to keep data on when Wifi is on but no luck. And apparently this has been broken for a while because I remember going on a MTB trip to the actual mountains where there was no cell/data reception, and had to use Hangouts (ugh) to talk to the family since Android Messages won't talk over Wifi.
Not sure if there's a workaround, as I'm using Samsung Messages for now until Google (hopefully) fixes this.
I'm having the same problem, was just about to post about it and saw your topic. Hopefully they issue a fix for this, don't particularly care for Samsung's Messages app.
Thought LTE with WiFi on is a carrier setting? My T-Mobile phone doesn't have any issues and uses WiFi calling just fine also.

My fiance's phone is having same issues with Google messaging app. Samsung app works just fine. She is using that for now.
We have reset phone. Activated new SIM card also.
I will not have her use Verizon message+ ever so I won't know if it's working.
Had the same issue. Turning wifi calling on and off did not make a difference.
I switched to using textra which works fine
Can confirm I have this issue with the google messages app; haven't tried with the samsung one.
Working fine on my S8+, Installed Google SMS app and its working fine on wifi.
Same issue using Android Messages
Does this mean that even if I disable wifi calling (Tmo variant s8), I won't be able to receive or make calls because data is disabled??
The Samsumg app works fine. It's Android Messages. Google needs to fix. I even turned on Developer Option and turned on the option to keep Data on while Wifi was on. Didn't make a difference. I reported it to Google, for whatever good that's going to do.
Same issues here. Verizon support told me it's because I'm using an app that doesn't support integrated messaging, but I know Messages worked on my S7 edge.
A new update hit APKMirror yesterday, but still having issues.
I had this issue using chomp sms. Found a post saying to change a setting in the app to have MMS behavior set to "system" instead of "legacy". It somehow fixes sms as well

Doing a bit more research, I don't think this is an Android Messages issue, but more of a Samsung issue. I know that previous versions worked on my S7 edge, so I went back into the APKMirror archive and pulled out the release from December 2016. Still cannot send.
Samsung changed something with this phone release that is blocking Android Messages from working with MMS.

I agree, seems they changed other things that break things as well, such as this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/help/chrome-push-notifications-reliable-s8-t3595599
Hopefully we get some fixes...
Something else to try, i enabled Advanced Calling and i seem to be able to send/receive on wifi with using Android Messages. It is working for me at the moment but not sure if that is what actually did it.
Also not sure if "Advanced" calling has gotten better, lots of reports of poor audio.
I believe it has to do with VoLTE, which you cannot edit on the s8 like you could on the s7. I can send MMS while on a call when on a 'HD' call, but can not when I'm am not on an HD call.
I am having a similar issue with Textra as well when sending MMS
I switched over to Pulse in the meantime and it's actually a pretty good app. It allows MMS/GIF/etc over WiFi on the S8; almost as good looking app but has more features.

Interesting. Textra and the stock Sammy Messages sends / receives MMS just fine on my VZW S8, but as noted above, Android Messages will not (and, I spent waaay too many hours trying to figure that out...).

Mine seem to get hung up when I have Wifi on(taking longer to send and I don't see the cell radio turn on like I did with my G6
