MMS over WiFi (T-Mobile) - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I searched, but the mobile app sucks for filtering results so hopefully someone has an answer.
Is there anyway to send MMS over WiFi on T-Mobile? I know I could use a WiFi messaging app like whatsapp, but I don't want it to be something were both parties need it installed.
Anyone have a hacked MMS.apk I can side load that does this?
I'm currently on xenon ROM and it doesn't support this feature.

No, you need mobile data on your plan or you'll likely be charged for not adhering to your plan bounds.

I have mobile data on my plan. My problem is that in my house I only have a couple bars of edge service. So when I send a group message via MMS it takes forever and if I send a picture message it takes hours if it sends at all.

There's no other way. Perhaps you can complain to Tmo about your service or get a signal booster from them.

Well that stinks. Reason I ask is b/c someone told me that the MMS.apk in ChaOS ROM has this feature. I was able to get the MMS.apk for that ROM, but didn't have success side loading it on xenon ROM.
I didn't care for chaOS ROM to even see if it was true or not.
What is the proper way to side load an MMS.apk? I renamed my currentcmms.apk to MMS.apk.bak and than moved the new MMS.apk to system/app and installed it. Changed permusssions and Rebooted the phone, but the app would just fail.
Than it was a pain to get the original to work again.

The only thing i can recommend is using gosms app. It sends sms and mms over wifi.

It doesn't send of Wi-Fi what it does is enable your mobile data long enough to send the mms and then goes back to Wi-Fi. You can't send mms over Wi-Fi unless the same app is installed on both phones. There are some messaging apps that claim to so it but what they do is download the app to their servers and then tries to send it with their messaging system. Which is against most laws but legal in come countries.

[Trick] How to send SMS using your beloved Tab!

Am not sure if this is discussed somewhere.
Anyway, just to share.
Here's how:
Every mobile broadband card comes with a number, and that number will be used when you send / receive SMS.
- Download official Go SMS Pro here and install on your tablet
- Launch the app and send SMS to your other mobile number that you are using to make calls
- The sender number is what your friends will see when they read your SMS from Tab!
Enjoy
On European 3G devices, there is a stock app called Messages, so i don't think that third party app is needed.
For those with the wifi only version , check out TexTab.

Until Verizon releases Touchwiz for the LTE versions, this seems like a good alternative. I'm going to test it now.
EDIT: Does not work on mine, says "cannot send message, will send it when the service becomes available" and that message sits there forever until I uninstalled it.
That's because verizon blocks text messaging with their tablet plans.

Yea I work for verizon and whenever I sell a tablet, a provision is loaded onto their account called "block text messaging". It's very odd indeed since the original galaxy tab allowed you to pick a texting bundle.

I simply use Google Voice on my wifi Tab. Works perfectly.

I been using Heywire and it works well, gave me a regular US number.
If anyone has a 3G tab with Touchwiz, but no Messages app. Try to send a sms to your data plan number, i think that the Messages app appeared after i received the first sms message from my operator.

[SOLVED] Why won't my Nexus 4 send MMS on AT&T?

I've had it for four days now and I still haven't successfully sent an MMS message. Receiving one seems to be no problem. Here's a screen shot of the APN I'm using if that will be of any help.

Try disconnecting from WiFi and try to send a MMS after that.
I believe there is some bug that causes this issue.

I see you are using GoSMS. I had a problem where GoSMS can't send MMS on the N4. Try sending through the stock SMS app. It worked fine for me.
Working fine here with that APN and using stock messaging app.

And that did the trick. I usually stay away from the normal Messaging app because Go is just better in all aspects. It sucks that there's apparently a problem that won't allow MMS to go through. Hopefully it's fixed in the next update because it's literally my favorite and most used Android app.

[Q] Any apps that can read and send sms from other android device?

Is there an application that can read and send SMS from other Android devices, let say Xperia sola, and that I can read in my Nexus 7? I have searched the Play store and none that I have found or something I have missed. A help from you guys will be highly appreciated.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Not that I know of, but try downloading Air Droid on your phone and rather then going to the website on your computer go on it using your tablet. Should work, but you'll have to be on your browser in order to see your SMS and what not. Just throwing out ideas
That might be good. But reading and sending SMS might keep be handy. Thanks. Still anyone?

I use cloud sms also. The developer did all the beta testing right here in the N7 forum for theming and apps, which I was fortunate to be a part of. The transport is via internet. Works wonderfully.
Tablet sms is also available on the market. Higher price, and the two devices must be on the same wifi network.

I'm using mysms (I guess e.e. cummings named it) on my phone and mysms Tablet on my Nexus. I believe they sync through the cloud, but however they do it, I have exactly the same SMS send and receive abilities on both devices. Unlike some other solutions, it uses my existing phone number.
I use tablet sms. It was a little higher price but IMO, it was worth it after trying just about every other one out there.
It can sync via wifi or bluetooth. I use bluetooth.
I can send and receive sms from the tablet and they still show up on my phone. I can receive picture messages on the tab with tablet sms. cant send pics with it yet though.
Setup was really easy for me, it has a nice pop up option so when you are browsing on the tab, your sms will pop up if you choose and you can reply right there without exiting whatever app you were in and carry on when you are done.
I got mysms it syncs all messages you have on your phone, and you can send as well, works really well I haven't had no problems.

Use desksms for your phone and tabletsms for your tablet. Its 5$ per year with a 2 week trial. I use it on my tablets. It syncs through Google so as long as you're connected to WiFi you're good. Real quick too.

Ditto. Just had a whole convo last night with my hubby while I was babysitting. Phone was charging and my outlet wasn't nearby so I used Tablet Talk. It also has the option to connect via Blue tooth, if you're somewhere not connected to WiFi.

It's my understanding that MySMS has a Chrome extension, too, so you're able to text on your computer as well.

It's available on the backend, but you've got to actually run apps that support the new features (it's all part of GCM if you want to look it up, replacing C2DM). Even Google's offerings using GCM though (Hangouts, looking at you!) are really...weird about it.
For text messages try Mighty Text. Just install it on both your android phone and the nexus 7

I've found a great app for me. NotiSync. The only negative point is, that this app only uses bluetooth. But its great, that i can configure custom apps

Agree, Mightytext developer's really made my day a lot easier! Getting notified of SMS, MMS & calls that's incoming. Sure lot's of Apps gives the simular functions, but the great thing about MT is that you could have a tab running in your browser and get notified on the computer also, and that you can answer/create msg directly from N7 or webbrowser. Smooth is that it runs on your 3G/4G, so you'll not have to use bluetooth or wifi and flipping it on and off etc. Sure if you wanna use the wifi @ home on your phone, MT will of course use that route. Probably the most beloved product for me, because having long conversation over SMS is just dumb. When you have a keyboard that makes me input data that much faster, but not everyone is thinking like me Glad that's not the case though! hehe..
Best regards,
H.

XT907 Android 4.4 messaging problems.

So I installed the 4.4 rom on my XT907 and it works great. Fast and super smooth. The only issue so far is that I can not seem to send pictures in a text. I've tried the stock app. handscent and Verizon messaging. None of them seem to be working. Anyone have any insight on how to work a round this?

That's what I was thinking and I know this is very early alpha but to be honest of that is fixed this rom is good enough for a daily driver. I also had a little noise when listening to Pandora One over Bluetooth I haven't had much of a chance to try anything with that this far. However the noise was not there while running the Carbon ROM 4.3 dailies.

There is also no options to change the apn settings. On the 4.4 thread in the general section, someone mentioned that mms works when using the phone w/t-mobile. The rom is also based off of the tmobile moto x. Hopefully someone will figure it out soon.
Ahhhh that makes sense then as I am on Verizon. I'm hoping that someone can get it working. I am very impressed at how well this works so far. Dhacker and the rest really do great work.

in the FWIW department, I don't use stock messaging for sending pics. given that google hangouts has taken over messaging capabilities, I just send pics via hangouts (granted, the other user must have hangouts as well, but since all androids have hangouts and hangouts is available for iPhone, I've just convinced my iPhone friends to get the app).
otherwise, I would normally send pics via e-mail or post them to my picasa web album and send folks a link instead - that way, it won't count against my mobile data.
Stupid question but, where is this Kit kat Thread/ rom?
EDIT: Doh, I found it in General, I was looking in Development. _thanks!
work around for receiving MMS (not sure if sending works) is to download 8sms (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thinkleft.eightyeightsms.mms&hl=en).
In setting add your phone number and chage MMS port to 80. Dont remember where I read this but it works for receiving MMS
