I've followed multiple APN guides including the one in the Solavei forums for Android phones and the one posted in here a little ways back (listed as SOLVED). I can receive MMS but still can't send them out. Just hangs on "sending". I've used the stock version of Androind, PA and CM and no luck Anyone still in this situation or have any ideas on what to do? Thanks.
Try with/without a subject. When it's stuck on sending, tap and hold and then do edit then send it right away again. Watch the signal bars to see if they show activity as well.
make sure whatever number your sending it to, you include the area code. for some reason that's how I have to do it on straight talk, but it didn't matter on T-Mobile prepaid

People still don't have all phone numbers saved with 10 digits in the USA? :blink:
Figured that's standard everywhere now?
I'm the one that posted it solved. I just tried mine again and it still works. Do you have a Hspa or 3g connection? What is the file size you are trying to send?
If your using Wi-Fi it doesn't work

do you have a problem with your nexus 4 double dialing when you make a call? like it calls and hangs up real quick and then dials the number again!
if not can you please post your APN settings

It's a photo from the gallery, looks like it's being compressed down to less than 1 MB for MMS purposes when sending.

You mean with an active wi-fi connection or with wi-fi turned on at all? I'll try turning wi-fi off entirely and see what happens.
Turning off wifi worked...that's annoying. Thanks for the tip.

Make sure your APN says MMS in it or it'll try sending MMSes over WIFI because that's the active connection. With MMS in the APN Type, it knows to use that data connection for MMS.

Having a lot of problems with my mms. When I send a mms most of the time it wont send and when it does it takes awhile for it to send out. And the problem I am having with receiving is I get the message but I cant download the actual attachment sometimes. I had this same problem on my touch pro 2 and now I am facing it on my hd2. I've been called T-mobile several times about this issue and its really pissing me the hell off because their not doing anything about it. I am running regular stock rom. I also have a new sim card.
When I had that problem on my TP2, it went away after a hard-reset.
Did the tmo tech support walk you through making sure your network settings were all correct?

Is your T-Mobile Data connection setup to use epc.tmobile.com? (settings-connections-manage existing connections) That's the first setting they should have checked with you, there may be others that could affect MMS send/receive capabilites, I'm not sure.

Yea thats the step up I have. I'm going give them another call. There's got to be something they can do.
So this has now happened to me twice, yesterday being the second time.
I'll get a notification for a message at the top, both times it has been after I already had another SMS message that I had not checked yet, then when I click on the notification to bring up the messaging app there is only one of the two messages waiting there in the list. Both times I have texted the person back and they did indeed send me some type of picture message. After resending I receive it the second time. It makes me worried that maybe we could be losing messages and not even know it. It seems to me this is a software bug (vs. Carrier problem since the phone shows a notification for the message)
Has anyone else seen this problem?
I'm on stock 4.2.2 but the first time it happened was on 4.2.1 about a month ago.
Yea, happen to me as well when I was connected to WiFi. Turned off the WiFi, and told them to send them again and it received them that time. Maybe an issue when connected to a WiFi connection?

I think you have to be connected to data in order to receive a MMS message. Wifi will not work. You will get a notification but no picture.
Of course you can't receive a MMS over a wifi, the problem is that the phone is not switching over to mobile data to receive pictures while connected to wifi. I also have this problem.

I don't quite understand your statement. You say you can receive MMS over wifi but then you say the phone has to switch to data in order to receive the picture? How is that different that what I said?
Sorry, autocorrect stole my apostrophe t. I meant cant as in can not.
I have the same issue. The slide down text msg notification icon reported 3 texts from 3 different senders. When I clicked on the icon I am taken to my text msg inbox but only 2 of the 3 text msgs where there. I then verified with my friend that he did indeed send me a text msg. I have never had an issue receiving MMS texts over WiFi. I use WiFi exclusively at work and home. So I had created the same type of thread on the androidcentral forums.
That's exactly what happened to me today, twice! My girlfriend sent me three MMS, I got the first one and two notifications after. But when tapped, all I saw was the first MMS.
My connection was poor, I thought that could be the cause...
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Yea I was wondering if it is a carrier issue or if its LG or Google ?
I think a part of the issue is that the phone creates the notification the moment it recognizes that there is an incoming MMS instead of when the MMS is actually received and able to be viewed.

Well that would be fine if it is a preview of the MMS before it arrives, but when it never arrives is where the problem is. There has got to be a solution. I can't help but wonder whom has sent me a text of which I did not receive.
this happens to me also. its annoying. but i do have my wifi on all the time, so I will try it without wifi on, and see what happens.
I'm having this problem as well and I don't like any of the third-party apps. Has anyone found a fix? Thanks.
Well, I contacted T-Mobile, my carrier, and they went through a lot of troubleshooting. It basically came down to turning on mobile data alongside WiFi because apparently MMS msgs need data to send and receive. Sucks, but there it is.
Haven't had this problem before or even heard of it. My phone showed normal data signal all day today, but every app said I had no connection. It even looked like data was uploading/downloading as the arrows were popping up from time to time. I tried a few reboots but still having the problem.
I'm on Vanilla Rootbox, but haven't had any problems until today. Nothing has changed on my phone in weeks.
Any ideas?
those bars arent for data connections, they are for your phone connection. i assume phone calls are alright? have you called your provider to check if they are having data issues?

Well, the H+ and the up and down arrow are for data aren't they?
I haven't called because I'm on AT&T gophone and they don't have much in the way of customer service. They won't help much once they see you're on a Nexus 4, which they don't sell.

the H+ and H show which data network you are connected to. and the up/down arrows show if the phone is(or trying to) send/receive data. neither of which tell you if you are actually getting data flow. normally, you would call your provider in this situation. if they tell you that you service is fine, ask them to refresh your connection.
and the issue of you not getting help because youre on a nexus 4 doesnt make much sense. they want youy to pay for the service, they dont make much money off the phone. but if you feel like that about their service, why are you still with them? there are better companies to use, and are inexpensive.

Well I've dealt with them a few times. That's just been my experience. I'll try and call them. I'm still with them because generally I can figure out what the problem is. In my experience, it's all the junk i've done to the phone, rather than service being down. Thank you for the suggestion.

last month, on tmobile, i was connected to tmobiles towers, bars were blue, not gray(so connected to googles servers), but i wasnt getting a data flow. i called tmobile and they told me that they werent having any issues. so i asked them to refresh my data service. they had me power down for 3 minutes while they disconnected and reconnected my service. once i powered back on, i had a data flow again.
Check to make sure you entered correct APN settings or download a rom with APNs preloaded.

Yes, I just checked and I can access internet via my broswer, although it was super slow! I didn't check that yesterday. So it looks like my data is being slow. I had this problem originally when I had bad APN settings. I do have the correct APNs though. Maybe I need to update them. I'll call for a refresh and see if that helps.
Normally when i boot a rom for the first time data works but is so slow it's unusable also . These are the go phone apns i use to get it working again.

Thanks all. I forgot the stupid APNs will work for a few weeks then go to super slow data speeds. I did reformat a few weeks ago and haven't done anything to my APNs. I just don't get why they work fine for a few weeks then slow down. Resetting my APNs to the above should work, I think that's the one I was using before.
Got it working again?

For a few days, yes, today MMS stopped working. I'm really confused at why certain APNs will work for a period of time then just stop working. The default APN worked for over 2 weeks, then went to super slow speeds. The latest one I updated too, just above, worked for a few days, not I can't send or receive MMS.
I think the one that worked for me before had 2 setups. One for data, and one for MMS. I'm going to set that back up now.

Yeah try setting 2 apns one for data other for MMS. I've used that method before and seems to work fine. But then again I've never had issues to begin with.

Hello this is my first time here so I am sorry if I screwed anything up with this post.
Anyway I just bought an Axon 7 form Italian Amazon (I am from slovenia) and inserted my Sim card in it. Everything works fine except data. I can make phone calls or write texts but even if I turn on the data it just doesn't work
Is this a bug in software and if so is there end way to fix it?
Thanks in advance
Hi, maybe the wrong apn?
Settings >dual sim settings >mobile networks >access point names
Is there your provider?
Hi there was no app actually. I tried to make one just bi clicking random things and I got 3g connection. Any idea how to actually configure an apn?

Hi, I'm from Slovenia also. Zivjo Which operator are you on? (Mobitel, simobil...)? Tell me and I will send you link for Apn settings. I have axon 7 from amazon.de and everything works
Perfectly. I use bob (simobil) operator.
Oh zivijo I am on simobil
Create 2 apns. One for data second for mms.
Just insert this data in and save. You will have like mi only it will be simobil. Then you are good to go
Sorry, for mms is this setting
It's still only 3g but it is quite fast (15MB down) so it will do. Ena lepa hvala
UPDATE: it works perfect now thanks again
Pull down your notification menu and make the the quick setting for "data 1" is enabled. That got me a time or two. It disables in ultra power saving mode. Check!

I had the same issue and I am on TMobile also. If WiFi was on, I could not send nor receive MMS. I fixed it with this: https://support.t-mobile.com/thread/61843

Once I made the changes I was able to send MMS and receive them
I'm also on T-Mobile and was not receiving mms when on Wi-Fi, but receiving them fine. The problem was fixed when I turned off Wi-Fi calling. Hope that fixes your issue also.
I agree the problem is fixed by turning off WiFi calling, but WiFi calling is something I want to keep on

As with the MMS on Wifi .. the APN that the Essential pulls is not complete .. NONE of the 4 it pulls. I would go in and edit yours. The MMS while on wifi regardless of wifi calling on or off .. should be fixed with the proper APN. Remember that you should reboot after changing the APN. My wife's was having an issue with MMS and weird signal issues. I fixed her up with a proper APN. It's a pitfall of a non-carrier phone. My U11 suffered the same issues. Anyway. Give a proper APN a shot.
I did this but am still having reception issues as well as MMS issues
To clarify if you make this chnage to get it to work, you need "Cellular" checked under Wifi Calling. If you have WiFi calls as preferred it still does not work. These changes and that setting allow the phone to jump back and forth when needed, correct?

What have those of you on Verizon been doing?
Hello - I saw this post while looking for an MMS solution for my PH-1 on AT&T. I have had Verizon, Sprint, Google Fi, and AT&T on this phone, and the only one that I could send/receive SMS/MMS was on Verizon while on my work network's WiFi. I work in a school building behind three layers of cinder block walls, and I have to have a way for this to work. I could go back to VZW, but I'm trying to avoid their high and not-unlimited Unlimited plans' rates. Can you direct me to the correct APN settings for AT&T? Thanks!
