I used to use CM10.2 but since flashing to PA (full wipe) I can't receive MMS automatically. I like to keep my data turned off unless I'm using it and if I receive an MMS I get a blank notification and the MMS does not download. I then get a wake lock until I send an MMS with data turned on, then the incoming MMS will download.
This did not happen in CM, I could keep data switched off and MMS messages would be retrieved automatically and vice versa when sending. My APN settings are exactly the same and have not changed between ROMs.
Does anyone know of a fix for this?

I had my data turned off for a while to save battery so unsure if I received any new texts. I am fairly certain that MMS runs on data, not 100% on SMS.
MMS yes, SMS no.
Mms uses data, but the carrier's texting plan will provision the appropriate settings on their end so that you are not charged for them. This applies if the texting feature on your carrier includes mms.

Thanks guys.
I am using Textra on my SGS4 and have been for a while now...
I have not had a problem receiving MMS until now. All of the sudden I get a message that I can't download a picture on Textra and when I do receive it, it is a blank black square and I can't even see it.
I have images auto-download to my Downloads folder and it shows up fine but when I tap it to open the photo, it shows a broken image.
All of the people I get MMS from are iPhone users. I finally had them send it to my on email and the image came to be over 2MB.
I have also tried default sms app, Hangouts, and Hello sms to see if it was just Textra, it's not..
APN checks out normal for AT&T, rooted, 4.2.2, I377UCUAMF3
(I also went to AT&T to see if they could do something about it but as soon as I told them I rooted they told me to basically leave... Nice)
Let me know if you need any more information to help get this solved.
Thanks!
I'd check for any MMS settings in textra. I know EvolveSMS had an option to intercept MMS and not let it go to the stock messenger and it never worked. Also try turning off auto download if it's on, since that can cause issues too.

Hey everyone.
For weeks now I have been having an issue with sending mms to anyone, nor can I receive. Im on the Koodo network here in Canada. I have made sure that my apn settings were correct. I mainly use GoSMS and when I select the image, type a message and hit send it just disappears. No sending arrow icon not even the picture itself.
I have also tried in the stock messaging app. But when try the same task, it actually crashes. My gf has a nexus 5 and she is on the Bell network and having the same issues.
Im not really sure what steps to take next. Any help would be great. Thanks.
Try Sliding Messages. It allows you to set APN in the app.

Yes so does gosms. Not sure apn is the issue as it seems like it can't even attempt to send.
So i have the ota lollipop release on my N4. the google messenger app will not send mms (pictures or group texts). i figured it was my apn settings, but out of a hunch i decided to set hangouts as the sms/mms app. to my surprise, the hangouts app will send MMS.
anyone else noticed this or have a fix? i would like to use the stock messenger app if possible.
Anezarati, I've got the same exact issue. Ended up uninstalling Messenger last night because of it. Would love a fix as well - definitely prefer it vs hangouts or aosp messaging.
EDIT: just found that the MMS port in my APN was incorrect (on AT&T, MMS port was blank, it should be 80). Fixed my problem, hopefully it works for you too!
Some lollipop users are experiencing the same issue.. It will remain until Google patches it.. Or some Dev comes up with a fix

ive been using hangouts for a few weeks due to issues with other apps not receiving mms. just downloaded the newer google messenger today and it cannot send or receive mms. my apn settings are complete and accurate. really confused.
In case anyone else was experiencing the same issues I had with my S8+....I was unable to send/receive MMS when I initially registered the phone. Realized it was because I was using a private messaging app such as Signal/Whisper on my Note 5. I installed another 3rd party application such as WhatsApp, disconnected Wifi, Restarted my device, and then sent a few test MMS messages. After doing this I selected "Samsung Messages" as my default messaging app again and MMS messages began to work once again.
Yeah I had this problem, I'm coming from a Nexus 6, so I was used to Android Messages app by Google. None of the MMS messages would come through and would just say it failed to download. I was forced to switch it to Samsung Messages and now I get them.
Still wondering if there's a fix for this.

Have you tried switching back to your previous preferred messaging app since you started receiving them on Samsung Messages?

Yes, that's what I did right after I received them on Samsung Messages. The old mms messages showed up, but I didn't receive any new mms. Had to switch back again.
Having the same issue, couldn't find any fixes yet.
same issue here with Google message.. Its the wifi.. Turn it off and mms will work.
Fixed......I had disabled Verizon Messages. I re-enabled VM and updated the app. Then just opened Android Messages and enabled that as default. MMS is now working.
Simply updating Android Messages fixes this issue. V2.2.067
Thanks I had to find the apk cause the store didn't push it out yet. Works over wifi now with that 2.2.067
Possible issue
I have the Galaxy s8 using Google's 'messages' app. I noticed when the phone is idle for a certain time, it starts shutting off certain functions to save power. I've witnessed my phone resuming from sleep and seeing wifi being turned on and reconnected to. I believe it does the same thing with data. What I think the issue is, is that when the phone is woken up, it's not connecting data back to the part of the messaging app that needs it to download MMS messages. Possible temporary fix, just shut off your data for 30 seconds and turn it back on.
Edit: That only works some times. I really don't know how to fix this. It stopped receiving MMS while I was still using my phone.
