[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 had an MMS problem recently, after switching phones. Calling AT&T and telling them my problem got it fixed. I just needed my SMS/MMS plan reset.

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.

Yep, I loved using GoSMS too. But the SMS app with the popup is pretty decent.
Btw, you might want to put [Solved] into your thread title now

I am using the same APN as OP minus pta. I am using phone. I cannot send nor receive mms. Any suggestions. I am using the stock message app.

I'm having the same problem, Go SMS and Hancent won't send MMS on my N4 on ATT.

Anyone else getting these texts?

are you on a custom rom? I had that issue on my epic 4g on cyanogenmod.

I'm on the stock rom. Haven't even rooted yet. Although I am using handcent instead of the stock messaging app.

Set handcent as default for MMS. Should fix it. If not then do for both SMS & MMS

This is interesting
I had this happen after the 4.1.2 update on my S3. After every boot I would get one.
I tried the Handcent thing... No good. Ran across a thread somewhere about it being a "silent" text from Sprint notifying the phone about Voicemail. I had the Voicemail app frozen with TiBU. Defrosted it and Never had the issue again.
Don't know if this will help but maybe it will put someone on the track to figuring it out.

Visual voicemail for sure. Been around since Galaxy S, fellas.

It's handcent. My wife started getting those several times a day on her S3. I blocked the number on the Sprint website, blacklisted it on the phone and they still came up. Called Sprint support and they said it was Handcent. Uninstalled it and it all stopped. Not really needed on the Samsungs anyway.

It is not handcent. It might happen on Handcent, but it also happens on the stock messaging app as well. I've gotten it on AOSP and TW roms with the stock messaging app.
I have it happening to me now on my S4 and I would get it on my S3 as well, whenever I got one of those messages I would be getting a voice mail as well. I just had the texts from that number blocked and I never got it again.

I get those. I'm rooted on a custom ROM and they inform me I have a new voicemail

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?

Apparently MMS is broken. Nothing we can do about it ATM...

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

I've been receiving mms thru hangouts the entire time. Sending
Is the issue.

What SMS app do you use?

Hey guys. With the new hangouts there are a lot of the features from previous SMS apps missing. Like the quick pop up reply from notification menu and multiple contacts.
I like hangouts and to be honest I'd like to use just one app only. Using Textra and it is awesome but can I uninstall hangouts and just use Textra on its own? What you guys use

I use google voice, barely any improvements, very buggy. But I haven't found anything better for texting thru voice. Also kakaotalk which is very bloated. I want a clean app that has option to send/not send push notifications. Know any?
I'm glad u said Hangouts is mandatory, I hate that. Can't we revert back to an older version and not be forced to use proprietary crap.

Hangouts is NOT mandatory, you can use any texting app you want.

Yea totally not Mandatory I used it for a week or so as my default sms application but then i switched back to the regular that came with the phone.

I use Hangouts. Its functional and full featured. The only annoying thing is that convos with the same person are separated by SMS and IM hangouts.

Can we uninstall hangouts if I am not using it?

Unless something has changed I will stay with handcent, I never liked Go SMS Pro, or any Go product... But you never know, if its better for some reason I would try it.

Delivery confirmation using stock messaging app

I noticed that I only show my texts as delivered using the stock messaging app when I send to another samsung phone. When I send to my wife's iPhone it just shows the time it was sent. I have all the settings enabled. Used textra on my previous phone (N6) with no issues. Thanks.

Tmobile to tmobile has advanced messaging which shows sent and read if they seen it.

I'm on t-mobile and so is my wife's 6s plus.

Only on certain devices is it enabled like the g5, note 5, s6, s7/edge. And a few others. I phone isn't supported yet. Better to use hangout if you want an imessage like sms

IPhone doesn't co exist with android
when we face our problems, they dissappear. So, learn from failure and let success be the silent incentive

Thanks. I was just looking for a sms/mms delivery confirmation. Textra does this. The stock messages app doesn't.

The stock messaging app does do this. In the messaging app settings>more settings>Text messages. Enable delivery reports.

I have those settings enabled and the only time it worked is when I texted another samsung phone. Did not work texting any other phones.
