[Q] MMS Issues on T-Mobile - Focus General

I just recently ported over my Samsung Focus to T-Mobile. For about a week, everything was working fine. Now, I am completely unable to receive MMS, however sending is no problem. My APN is set to epc.tmobile.com. Any ideas?

Have you tried powering down your phone? I had an issue where I would receive some texts, then stop receiving texts. I discovered that when I rebooted my phone, texts would come through again but eventually stop. After stubmbling onto a thread on this forum, I realized my phone was only allowing me to receive 10 text messages before requiring a reboot.

Go sms mms sending issues

Ok ever since a couple days ago i cant get mms to send if my wifi is turned on. It sends when the data is connected but not wifi? This has never happened before in the two years or so ive been using gosms. Im actually having issues with the stock and other messaging apps. Anybody have any ideas? Im running force 2.3 w newest kt kernel and everything was perfect two days ago. No settings changed either
I've been having similar issues. But for some reason, I can't receive mms over airwave and I can't send them at all but can receive them when I'm out in town.
Worse part about it is that Sprint can't fix it either. Blah.
Has anyone found a solution to this problem? I cannot receive mms while on wifi. Any ideas?

[Q] Samsung galaxy s4 sgh-1337 will not receive mms or group texts

I am in need of some serious help, I purchased an s4 on craigslist from an AT&T customer. I verified the phone at the store, and it was an active AT&T phone when I bought it. I then transferred my phone number to a new Straight Talk Sim, and put the sim in the galaxy . I set the APN settings to the support reps recommendation, and everything worked besides receiving group texts and receiving mms. I thought it was the APN settings, so I tried every setting I could find recommended on this, and other forums. None of them worked. The solutions I was able to find included rooting my phone, which I don't have time to do. Since I was unable to use the phone how I needed without mms, I gave up with straight talk and ported my number to a AT&T LTE gophone account. I figured that straight talk was the problem, so I was excited to transfer. Well, after porting today, I have faster Internet, but mms and group texts(incoming of both) don't work. I can send mms, but cannot receive it, and I can send group texts, but not receive them. I am using the default att settings that came which the phone as instructed by the rep. In the AT&T store today. If anyone can please assist me in figuring out why this is happening, and what can fix it, I would be greatly appreciative. I did a search for the APN issue before posting this, but what I found was related to getting it to work with straight talk. I just want it to work with ATT now. Thank you in advance for any help..
Is your mobile data turned on while you try to download it? It may seem silly but I didn't realize it had to be on before ;P
Data is on
Data is on, and the outgoing mms and group texting works. On two carriers now, the incoming mms and group texting does not work. Really need a solution for this if anyone can help.

go to settings>options>mobile network and make sure that "data services" is turned on then send an mms to yourself and see if that activates it.
Data is on. Something with the phone is going on.....
To my understanding, this has got to be a phone issue. The data has been turned on . The outgoing mms is working. The outgoing group text is working. I have been on two different sims with different carriers, and still have the same issue......

I'm having similar troubles:
I CAN send mms,
but I can NOT receive images [although I did when I first set up the phone a few weeks ago, it was automatic image retrieval]
NOW when receiving a mms, a white download button (within a yellow box that gives me the message size + expire info) does not work. I tap "download", and it shows it's trying, but then I keep getting error messages that the download failed.
For purpose of testing the DATA feature of my service & phone I turn off the Wi-Fi.
I'm able to access the internet via data.
I'm able to make calls
I'm able to send texts
I'm able to send mms
However, my phone can NOT retrieve mms sent to me
I've tested repeatedly sending mms to myself. I can send - NOT receive.
Error message: "Message not downloaded - Review message and try again"
I try again, and then the next error message is: "Message download failed"
I don't understand that it worked before seamlessly for a week (after changing APN settings 1x after initial set up of service) and now I can only send, but not receive!?!
I have a factory unlocked AT&T Samsung S4
Using NET10 service with Net10's AT&T Sim Card.
I actually just got off the phone with Net10's Tech Support. Was on the phone over an hour with Service Tech Rep. He was very kind and patient. I had the correct APN settings. We changed some to test = to no avail. Upon my request he gave me different APN settings to try, beyond those that should work for this phone, in case it would work. He stayed with me on the phone while I performed a "Backup & Reset" and then gave me the settings that should apply to my phone. Still the same problems. He concludes that the issue is with my phone.
We do have a local AT&T store. Is there any reset or other options I could request they please do for me????
Thank you in advance for any ideas, guidance that may help!!
PS: My current APN settings from Net10:
Apn name-NET10
Apn- tfdata
MMSC-http : / / mms-tf dot net
Mms proxy-mms3.tracfone dot com
Mms port-80
Fix?
Did you ever figure this out? I have searched high and low and have exactly the same problem, everything works except RECEIVING MMS. I'm on Straight Talk. Please, please, please help!
Why not just Odin the phone to 100% stock. Solution done.

MMS?
Not sure what that means, but if it will work, please explain. I can root. :good:
did you had an iphone before? make sure to turn/sign off imessage in your previous idevice. IT happened to me as well. ITs one of the damn apply/imessage glitch because when you activated imessage it added your number to their cloud server.
Are you back on straight talk or on att? What messaging app are you using?

I had the same issue.. just figured it out. What u need to do is go to your main messaging screen... press the pop up menu click settings... scroll down to auto receive MMS. check the box and that should fix it

Can no longer send/receive SMS on T-Mobile

Suddenly I can not send or receive text messages (SMS). I can send/receive MMS just fine. When I try to send an SMS it sits in "Sending" then eventually it times out and asks for me to retry (which also fails).
I checked the SMSC and it matched what T-Mobile said it should be.
I am getting this issue with Hangouts as well as the stock Messaging app.
I can also make/receive calls no problem, nor do I have problems browsing the web on LTE.
Any ideas?

Seems to be a problem with Tmobile LTE. Kicked myself back to HSPA+ and all is well.

[Q] Lost APN settings - can't send MMS with wifi on

I've recetly been having trouble sending any sort of MMS (group message, pics, text with emoji) when I have Wifi turned on. When I have Wifi off they all go through, I've tested this out and it's definitely what's going on. Also, when I go into the APN settings I do have VZWINTERNET selected but MMSC and other ones aren't set. There doesn't seen to be a way to change it. This all started happening after I installed Evolve SMS then uninstalled it.
I have also been told by a few people that they tried calling me but calls won't go through, and I haven't had any missed calls.
So more info, in case this helps.
I installed Evolve SMS but I was having trouble sending MMS...I wouldn't go through the first time but if I hit resend it went through just fine. I was using it for a while but a couple of times I had texts go to the wrong person which is very bad (and good thing there was that MMS bug which didn't let group texts go through the first time because a lot of people would have got something meant for my girlfriend). So I uninstalled it immediately and went back to stock MMS, and this is where I'm now having all these problems.
Anybody have an idea to what's going on? Does it have something to do with my APN settings (or lack of settings) and did installing Evolve SMS have something to do with it?
It's just strange they go through when WIFI is off but nothing when it's on. And my biggest concern is that I'm missing phone calls, which a few have been pretty important.
Any help is appreciated...Thanks!

Unlocked Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5 for T-Mobile. MMS problems again..

Alright, so just recently something has changed with my phone where I can't send MMS anymore. I receive them just fine. Also, group messaging sometimes get received and sometimes don't.
I've tried everything from changing all the different types of APN settings I know to changing the preferred network mode.
The phone is not rooted.
This problem has racked my brain for days. Any suggestions will do.
Thank you
