I came from a htc hd2 where I can have the 3g data disable and recieving mms still works. But on the arc if I disable the data I cannot send or recieve mms, why? Can this be fixed?
I have been having problems for quite a while with receiving MMS messages and sending them as well. I am on a monthly pay as you go plan with no data and i am out of the tmobile network, (roaming still in US) but with my previous phone (sidekick 4g), I was able to send and receive MMS messages if i had wifi calling on. Now that trick doesn't seem to work but once every good while. All I get is the download option then my bars will get that "x" over them to signify no coverage and wifi calling will turn off and after a while start again and no progress will be made in the download process. I have tried having both national and international roaming on and neither seem to make a difference. I havent made any tries to change the apn settings. Could anyone help me solve my dilemma? Thanks any help will be greatly appreciated.

Even though you're on a pay-as-you-go plan, you'll still need data enabled to send/receive mms messages. Otherwise you'll receive the message but never be able to download the attachment. My phone is on a plan without data, but I still have to enable data in order to send and receive MMS messages. I also need a good amount of signal (it has to be practically full signal) for it to go through. As far as my experience goes, you can't send or receive MMS messages while Wi-Fi Calling is enabled. Your signal bars show no signal because your phone is switching between Wi-Fi Calling and mobile radio. As for APN setting, I'm not sure which ones do and don't work. Whenever I have issues with MMS, I look up the values and re-set them.
TL;DR Just enable data and give it a try.

I have T-Mobile as well. If you watch closely when receiving an MMS, you will see that although WiFi calling is enabled, the mobile data indicator will show up and transfer the data.
As far as APN settings are concerned, it has no effect on WiFi calling. If you can receive MMS when connected to mobile data then your APN settings are correct.

The thing is that I do have my data enabled and i do see the indicator showing the data transfer but its usually a "G" and the arrows neither go up or down, but its really strange yesterday I was able to test it out and I was able to recieve an MMS but I tried sending one right after and nothing happened. I will probably recieve the failed to send message later on today. I was just hoping there was a fix to this. And as far as I have seen with experimenting with it, WiFi calling must be enabled for me to send or recieve MMS if not I get the message of could not send or could not download right away
Hey guys i just got a atrix 4g unlocked for tmobile running cm7. I do not have a data plan but i do have unlimited messaging. is there any apn setting out there that allows me to send and recieve just mms and no data other than that. how would i go about configuring my phone to do so? i would really appreciate the help. its really annoying having to toggle the data on and off whenever i recieve a picture message.
You could just call tmobilr and have them disable the data. Then no overage and no toggling every 10 seconds
so that wont shut off all my data? because i know you need to have data enabled on the phone in order to download the mms.
They wont charge you for data use on mms if you deny data at all. They will make the phone a calling/mms/SMS only then. Wifi would be your phones new friend.
Hello,
I currently have the CM 10.1 ROM flashed, along with faux's latest beta kernal installed. When I am connected to T-mobile's LTE network, everything works fine, except for the fact I cannot send MMS messagse to other people's phones. When I switch back to HSPA, I can send MMS messages fine. I have T-mobile's $30/month 4g prepaid service.
Has anyone been able to send MMS messages over LTE on T-mobile's network? Are there any settings I can adjust that will allow me to send MMS over LTE? Or has T-mobile simply not enabled MMS to be sent over its LTE network yet?
edit: nevermind, I fixed my problem. In my LTE APN, I just added "http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc" to the "MMSC" linen, and now I can send MMS messages normally.
I have a verizon note 3 sm-n900v that I want to use on AT&T. I have rooted it and accessed the service mode screen and enabled b4. I have set up the APN and I am able to send and receive texts and make and receive calls. My data works, but it is on H and H+. I can not get on LTE or send MMS messages....can someone please help me!
Thanks!
