[Q] Can't send MMS? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Does anyone else have this issue? I can send/receive MMS with the stock messaging application, but if I use any 3rd party it doesn't work. I thought it had something to do with the APN, but none of the ones I tried worked. Is there anyone who had this issue but figured out how to fix it?

figured it out, you have to manually enter the APN in the app. it auto configs as cingular instead of att

What APN worked for you? I tired all the presets with no success.

The funny thing is, is that MMS worked perfectly fine not too long ago. I assume it auto-configured APN settings the same it did then compared to now. Yet MMS will not work anymore.
I have switched to an AOSP based rom though. The thing is I can send MMS through Hangouts and Stock messaging still.

MMS Problems? Sending...

So i looked around for a bit on here for MMS problems, and i couldn't find anything. When i was running WinMO 6.5 i could send MMS just fine. My friend rooted my phone with Android, and now when i send MMS it just says sending...
and never sends the message. I sent something last night, and when i woke up it still said sending...
Is there a fix for this? i do have MMS service enabled though T-mobile, and i can receive picture messages just fine. I was using stock app for the messaging, but then i though, hmm, i saw one on the market. so i used Handcent and the same problem occurred. Help would be greatly appreciated
edit; now i asked a friend to send me an MMS, and it says downloading and never downloads either!
I also have the same problem. But if you wonna receive the pictures just turn your mobile data on and then go to mms and click download. It should work but this doesn't seem to work with sending the MMS.
Same here, just need to know that modules work together with the mms.apk
Check and see if the data is enabled. That may be a solution.
The thing is I don't have data so I have it off at aall times
Edit: just turned on data for the Lulz to see If it would work, nothin :/

you have to use the ones provided by your phone carrier, he is probably on a different network so the settings wont work

Nexus 4 can't send MMS after updating to 4.2.1

After I update my Nexus 4 to Android 4.2.1, I can't send MMS.
After I click the send, there is a toast notification told me the service not available or balabala.
I am wondering whether you have the same problem for your Nexus 4 after updating to Android 4.2.1?
Thanks.

I was having the same problem but was able to resolve it. Are you using the stock messaging app or 3rd party? Any 3rd party app I was using (GOSMS, Handcent, ChompsSMS) would not send mms but then I tried it through the stock and it worked perfectly. Something happens when trying to send through 3rd party app where it decides not to work. Not sure why.

That's for stock MMS. But I after reboot the phone it seems good, but when the receiver received the photo, it was distorted.
If I use whatsapp, it worked well.
Not sure what happend for Android 4.2.1
Looks like 3rd party text apps like GoSms have to recode mms for 4.2.1. I have the same issues.
Also on GoSms "private box" doesn't work anymore.

I am having some weird intermittent MMS issues as well - stock 4.2.1 N4. When I attempt to send a pic, it perpetually says 'sending', but seemingly never gets sent. I am also not receiving most MMS pics from others, from what I can tell? Solution anyone?!?

Has anyone been able to fix this? I'm completely unable to send MMS right now. It isn't working through the stock app, I've changed the APN setting to multiple different configurations I found, pulled and put in the SIM card, no cigar. This is driving me mad. I'm on T-Mobile if that's of any assistance.
is this still an issue with the latest update? also who has group mms checked?
It's the same for me on my GNEX with GOSMS - I cannot send or receive MMS. I'll try stock sms and report back.

It's working fine on stock messaging app - I have written to the devs and suggest you all do the same!
Can not receive or send MMS on at&t media net plan. Also can not do group messaging but I'm still researching to see if that is a normal problem with Android.
*****
update - for whatever reason i had to create two different APNs for MMS and Internet and this allowed me to get group messaging and picture messages. let me know if there are other ATT people on MEdiaNet who need assistance in this.
Same here with 4.2.1 and Swisscom provider... :crying:
I had the MMS issue where it would say "sending" and remain in that state. I also could not receive MMS messages. Even on sick messaging. I called AT&T last night and they had to put my new IMEI number in their system. I had to turn off my phone while they sent a refresh OTA. Turned out back on and all good.

Finally it works! The problem was a entry that cm10 has added to the gprs settings APN-TYPE default,supl. I deleted ",supl" and voilà, it works perfect (entry came back but since then it works). i like my phone! :good:
What exactly does the "supl" mean anyway in that setting?
i can't seem to send any picture messages, im on rogers , it just 'hang's at sending...
I'm rooted and on stock ROM, it usually sends MMS while on 3g but on wifi it doesn't, it's just stuck on sending... Help?
Btw what is supl

This whole cant send on wifi thing is new to me. It shouldnt matter if youre on wifi or not. It still uses the cell tower to send/retrieve MMS.
same here, but a buy newer fone
I have found that on att I can only use stock app to send Mms. Hopefully a third party one will work soon.

this should fix your issues
I like many of you had this very same issue. Until fixing it tonight and testing I thought I had the elite of apn's my data went from .02 Mbps to 10mbps when I removed the WAP.Cingular stock APN. And replaced it with what users on here were using and it was a insane difference. However I never did have MMS working so I was searching all over and a post on reddit had linked my to this site on another sub forum. So I tried it and bam my MMS is working. Now if there was a way to fix the MMS slideshow thing without adding an app let me know
Here's the link to fix your issues guys:

Yes you need to create a new apn. Mine and my gf was same but I made new apn and it working flawlessly. Make new apn similar to stock except put nothing in apn type field. Stock one has default, mms,* the one you make should be blank. I also changed name to T-Mobile US LTE. I just realized I could have take screen shot and avoided this sigh.

I was having the same problem with Chomp. Used your APN fix and seems only to work as long as I keep chomp from allowing message sizes to be no more than 300K. Usually it cuts down the resolution to something like 120k and the resolution just isn't so great still. Any time a message was sent larger than 300k it would send out, but upon recieving it I would get an error.
Other folks experiencing the same ?
This is what I had to do for GoSMS. I don't see issues with image resolution as big MMS is sent via their own service and MMS under 300Mb is sent via the network.
The solution is actually to change the APN Protocols to IPv4/IPv6. Everything else can be the same.

Well, if you download Textra SMS there is a setting in which it will only turn on your data to send MMS and then it will automatically shut it off. Great way to save data and battery. I've been using Textra for a while now and its simple, light, and fully featured.

I have a lot of experience with textra but I am really enjoying the stock messaging app. On my htc one the stock app could do the same thing as textra that is why it is weird that my g2 can not. I like the little pop up box. It works well.

I'm not sure why it doesn't work for you but I send mms over WiFi all the time with no issues. I just turned mobile data off and tried it and it went through just fine. I'm on the T-Mobile version.

Strange i am on the att version when i turn data off and try to send a picture i get the error "no data connection will send message when connection becomes available."
I am trying to use the same apn settings i had on my one, but so far nothing seems to work. Will keep trying that was one of my favorite features of my one that i would always receive mms instead of having to click download it would automatically do it.

Problems sending MMS on stock 4.3

Hey guys
so I took the OTA update to 4.3 Im on MK2 and ever since I updated I have had issues when I try to send people mms.. it could be a simple message with an emoji from the iPhone keyboard or an image..
The messages sent perfectly fine before the update. I noticed in my APN settings I only have an ATT Phone APN.. not a APN for messaging or images or whatever, is there anyone on ATT network either pre or post update that has an additional APN in there settings? Could someone post the settings for theirs if they do?
And if I'm not missing an APN then I have no idea what the deal is, does anyone else have this problem? I've searched the forums but nothing I've seen I applied to my situation and the ones that were close I tried but to no avail.
Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance,

Yes of course my network data is on. The thing is that even on WiFi the pictures require data to send so typically you send a picture on WiFi you continue to use WiFi but the data emblem will also show up while your message is sent, and even when the pictures just sit there and don't send, the data 4g lte symbol still shows and the message still tries to send..
I dont know what the issue is, but I am going to call AT&T tomorrow because it has been too long for this to be a problem on their network end.
