Can't send mms when on wifi. - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to fix this?

I'm not too familiar with this but I think you need to turn on cellular data in order to send MMS.

You need data in order to send MMS.

It's on..

Are you roaming by any chance some networks won't allow you to send MMS unless you choose to data roam. Like T-Mobile for me. I have to click on enable data roam in order to send stuff. If not maybe try to reboot your phone.

I switched to roaming and that seemed to work!
Hey thanks

You might want to be careful and read up on data roaming. You may incur hefty charges on your network if this option is selected.
Easier and safer route would just to ensure you're mobile data (not wifi) is on whenever you send or receive mms.

MMS without Data enabled.

I used to be able to download MMS messages on my HTC Desire HD without having data enabled but on the Nexus 4 I have to have data on.
This kinda bugs me because I do have unlimited picture messaging but I don't have a data plan and my service provider is complete ****e so they charge me $5 if I use any data.

How could you receive MMS with no data connection when that's what MMS is?...data..that makes no sense
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
My carrier let's me use data for MMS buy not for web browsing, etc.
My DHD allowed me to have Data disabled and would turn it on and only allow my messaging app through to download the MMS.

That is a sense feature. Miui has it also

If you have unlimited picture messages then that shouldn't count against your data limit. Check your apn settings. You should have a separate one just for mms as opposed to having one for both data and mms.

Yeah, but apps like Mail and others use data and if I even start using a little bit I get charged $5 for 10MB and then $3/MB there on.
As of now I have a second APN setup with only the APN, MMSC, MMS proxy and MMS port..Is there a rom or something that I can install to get it the way I want?

Nexus 4 "Out of Service" Glitch

Check this out. It's happened to me a few times and a restart usually fixes it but it's getting kind of annoying.
I'm running stock everything but I'm rooted. Any permanent fix?
I can use data but I can't make calls when this happens.

There is a permanent fix. Change provider. I was on wind and had same problems. Switched to Fido and problems are gone.

Seriously? I just switched from Mobilicity. Forcing it to connect by searching for the network and selecting it does bring back full connectivity so can't this problem be fixed?

Turn off wifi and mobile data from settings will not do it for you?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
you can delete(copy first please) any number of wifi related files with a root file explorer out of /sys/ or /system/(and reboot) which would essentially incapacitate wifi. then either reflash your rom/kernel/ or put the files back.
Their has been some pretty fishy posts lately....

Just use airplane mode, no???????
Edit; oh, thought he meant all data
Then you can't get calls or sms

use 2g and disable wifi, use droidwall if you want to disable apps from connecting to net
Airplane mode.. Lol

You could just not turn on WiFi.

You can get WiFi to stop working, You will have to modify the kernel.
Delete the following folder in the last directory:
/sys/bus/platform/WLAN_CTRL
/sys/bus/platform/wcnss_wlan
/sys/kernel/ipv4
I am not sure why you want to do this even if there are other safe ways to stop this interface.
What you are doing is really dangerous and can cause a soft brick causing you to reflash everything using the Google Developers Nexus flashing tool.

SMS over IMS?

What does it mean and should I use it
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I think it's basically text messages over data. You should leave it off, it probably doesn't work with most carriers.

How to allow only certain apps mobile data?

I always have my mobile data turned off so that I don't get charged for it extra on my bill as I don't want random apps to be using data in the background without me knowing. I want to find a way to only enable data to the app Cerberus which can track your phone and stuff when lost. Is there a way to only enable data on certain apps because I don't mind paying a few extra dollars if that means me finding my lost phone.

If you go to settings>data usage and tap on an app in the list at the bottom of the screen, then you have an option to turn off background data when using mobile. See screenshot (it's in polish, but you get what I mean )

I don't know if that will work because I really just want data enabled for one app that I can utilize remotely to track me phone

Disable data for every app except the one that will track your phone this way then

How?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
A firewall from the play store. I recommend Android Firewall.
Edit: requires root
Use droidwall (rooted users only)
OK so a firewall did work and let me set which apps I want to allow WiFi and data... However it was really annoying because after I install a new app it would prompt me asking me to set the settings up for the new app... I don't want to keep doing this for every app I install is there any other way??
