[Q] Can't send MMS?

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.

ChompSMS

I cannot figure out how/why on my wife's S4, when using chompSMS and having Quick Reply enabled, she gets a text, the Quick Reply window comes up, but takes her out of where she is and opens chompSMS behind the Quick Reply window. Even if I use the Quick Reply window to respond, it still takes me to the chompSMS app. I checked all settings and I am sure they are the same as my Galaxy Note and chompSMS performs fine on my Note. What am I missing here?
Thanks,

You should use go SMS pro. Or SMS pop up for stock messaging app.

I dont use chomp sms but I do use textra sms which is an app in the playstore which was created by the same developers who made chomp sms and it doesnt have this problem. I highly recommend checking it out.

Chomp sms is always having problems like this. I second the suggestion to use go sms pro.

@op you should try out textra like everyone said. The MMS on it is superb

I'm currently using ChompSMS with my GS4 and have not come across this issue. Maybe try un-installing and re-installing the app to see if it fixes the issue? Maybe e-mail Chomp for support as well?

I don't know? I just confirmed it working on mine from my gs4 to an iPhone 4s. You hit the big + button and went to emojis?

I have not had any issues with chompSMS to this point. I am gonna try the uninstall/install thing and see if that works. If I cannot get the issue corrected, I am going with another SMS/MMS provider.

Any problems with textra and MMS? ChompSMS just fixed their MMS issues.

Trouble sending MMS?

Is anyone having trouble with the stock messaging app stuck permanently "sending" MMS? Anyone know a fix?
If no one knows a fix for this... Perhaps someone can recommend a messaging app that works correctly in multi-app mode? I send a lot of pictures and want to be able to have gallery and messaging app open and be able to drag and drop pics into the messaging app.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Try to clear the cache for the default messaging app that will clear alot of problems. This is the first thing to do with a problem app.

Update... MMS go through fine when I'm not at home (not using wifi) but when I'm on wifi they won't go through... I'm almost certain that I sent a couple over wifi when I first got the phone last week.
Clearing the cache did not make a difference, thank you for the idea tho.

Just an FYI....MMS doesn't go over WiFi. It gets sent with mobile data.

I fixed the problem with a factory data reset ... now it will again send MMS while signed into wifi

I've had this happen a couple times. Each time I turned off wifi then rebooted the phone. Connected to 4G and sent.

Sorry to bring up an old posting, but I am still having this issue with MMS on wifi or off. I can receive them just not send them out.

Motorola Assist

Is there a trick to get Assist to work?
Its not reading text when driving and not responding back that I am driving.
But has it icon showing its working..
I am using Handcent for messaging wondering it that is why?

It only works with stock sms app or sms in Hangouts.

It's read text for me, and I use MYSMS.

Interesting... Did it offer to reply?

I wonder if having the music option on doesn't allow for the text to be read? I have the same issue and haven't been able to find a solution.

I cut it off because it was a junk text. I'll be on the road tonight, as a passenger, I'll mess with it again and check.

First, if your connected to your cars Bluetooth, turn off media (in the phones settings) and the phone will read the message.
Second, make sure your phones volume is turned up. My wife kept having this issue.
Also, make sure your location services are not on power saving

This shouldn't be necessary. I always listen to pocket casts over bluetooth media when in my truck. Assist pauses the playback when a text comes in to ask me if I want to hear it and then reply. When finished, playback resumes.

What if your listening to the radio? Like I do. Then it is necessary

Hopefully they update it to include non-sms messages on hangouts.

Ringtone volume needs to be up. That's what controls the voice volume while using assist.

Mine never offers to reply. Is there something I'm missing?

I wondered about this also. Scenario:
The phone is in my cupholder while driving. I rec'v an incoming text. Google asks if I want the text to be read. I say listen. The text is read back to me.
How can I reply to that text that was just sent? Do I have to go through the entire process again? Say OK Google Now, say send text to that person. Say the text I want. Also how can I get the text that I just wanted to send read back to me? It says here is your text do you want to send it? Well if you have to look at your phone to verify if the txt is correct, what's the point?

After reading the incoming text, it asks you if you want to reply using the set canned response.

Oh okay, so it won't let you reply with using the voice to text commands? It only let's you reply with the 1 auto response like I'm driving I'll text you later or what ever you decide? That's too bad. It would be nice to have a text conversation back and forth only using the voice controls.

Anyone know if the text you compose during assist can be read back before sending?

Yeah, I am sure it is a liability thing... much like how every time I start my truck, the nav system puts up a screen that says I shouldn't use it while driving. :-[

Same problem for me. I'm in a VW Golf with the standard factory radio. If the phone is connected and offers "media" audio then I don't hear anything unless I switch to the bluetooth input. Phone calls work because it switches to phone mode, but navigation, this reading stuff and others don't.

MMS issues after rooting

Is anyone else having issues sending MMS messages after rooting? I can receive them but they will not send. I've tried the Samsung messaging app and Hangouts. Both sit at "sending" for a long time before saying it couldn't be sent.

I figured it out. The first thing I installed after rooting was Adblock Plus. I uninstalled that and now they're working again. I don't understand why ABP would mess with MMS messages but it was definitely the problem.
