Can't recieve/send MMS or smilies while on a call - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I've had my LG G2 for a week tomorrow, and I've noticed that when I'm on a call with my best friend, I cannot download or send MMS from anyone, nor can I even send smilies. When trying to download a MMS, a popup comes up saying, "Currently unable to download. Please try again later." When trying to send a MMS or smiley, a popup comes up saying, "Currently unable to send your message. It will be sent when the service comes available." Which it does once I get off call, but it's kind of frustrating that I can't send those things without ending the call, and then calling back. Can anyone help? It would be greatly appreciated, please and thank you.

if on cellular network only your device cannot use same hardware for voice and data. Only one antenna and its in use.
Wifi goes through different hardware so no issue if you were on both

Voice/data only work simultaneously when you're connected to LTE if you're on Verizon.

Network Problems

I have a quick question, did anyone have any problems with the Sprint network today, as far as sending sms?
The reason I ask is I was unable to send any sms however I was able to receive them, make calls and use data. Everything is 100% now and want to know if it was a network issue or possibly a Rom related issue.
Thanks for any help.
I didnt get an Mms earlier

Once in a while, I get those repeatedly. I have to wait until that person texts me so I can send back, otherwise I cannot.
Interesting. Guess I'll give my Rom the benefit of the doubt. Hopefully it was just a temp problem on Sprint's end.

MMS won't download

Can you normally receive MMS when on WiFi? I got one, it stuck at downloading so I turned off WiFi but it didn't download... Just hangs.
My wife and I are able to send and receive mms while on wifi. When I had sprint I noticed that if I didn't have a good signal the msg would fail to download. This happened quite a bit in my house because of the lack of signal I would get in there.
I have been having an issue where my MMS's will not download... dosent matter what app i use, they all say fail to download. I have a good signal and it just does not work! has anyone else had this issue and is there a fix for it? Or is it just Tmobile's ****ty service?
I'm having the same exact issue on cincinnati bell wireless with my vibrant, correct settings for sure too. I have had a nexus one settings should be and are identical. Please someone find a fix, can't use mms at all..
No issues here, unless I get mms while on the phone, sometimes it fails to download once I hang up. My girl has issue with them sending and downloading though, she's on my touch slide.

[Q] MMS Messaging Often Fails

On my T-Mobile tab, some of my friends send me MMS (picture) messages and it'll say "Download" and then fail everytime I click it. Other friends will show us as a blank video from Anonymous. Others never show up and seem lost in cyberspace.
Some of these are even sent from other Androids.
Does anyone else have massive problems receiving picture messages on the Tab, or the T-Mobile one specifically?
What should I do?
Can T-Mobiles abysmal network interfere with it that much? And would being on WiFi help if it does, cause these fail if I'm on WiFi as well.

Failing to send texts..

Does anyone else have this problem when i send a text i get a notify that it failed then it sends.

I get that at work sometimes, then I turn on WIFI calling and my texts go right through, wish I had better signal at work...

MMS Notification but when i click there is no message

So this has now happened to me twice, yesterday being the second time.
I'll get a notification for a message at the top, both times it has been after I already had another SMS message that I had not checked yet, then when I click on the notification to bring up the messaging app there is only one of the two messages waiting there in the list. Both times I have texted the person back and they did indeed send me some type of picture message. After resending I receive it the second time. It makes me worried that maybe we could be losing messages and not even know it. It seems to me this is a software bug (vs. Carrier problem since the phone shows a notification for the message)
Has anyone else seen this problem?
I'm on stock 4.2.2 but the first time it happened was on 4.2.1 about a month ago.
Yea, happen to me as well when I was connected to WiFi. Turned off the WiFi, and told them to send them again and it received them that time. Maybe an issue when connected to a WiFi connection?

I think you have to be connected to data in order to receive a MMS message. Wifi will not work. You will get a notification but no picture.
Of course you can't receive a MMS over a wifi, the problem is that the phone is not switching over to mobile data to receive pictures while connected to wifi. I also have this problem.

I don't quite understand your statement. You say you can receive MMS over wifi but then you say the phone has to switch to data in order to receive the picture? How is that different that what I said?
Sorry, autocorrect stole my apostrophe t. I meant cant as in can not.
I have the same issue. The slide down text msg notification icon reported 3 texts from 3 different senders. When I clicked on the icon I am taken to my text msg inbox but only 2 of the 3 text msgs where there. I then verified with my friend that he did indeed send me a text msg. I have never had an issue receiving MMS texts over WiFi. I use WiFi exclusively at work and home. So I had created the same type of thread on the androidcentral forums.
That's exactly what happened to me today, twice! My girlfriend sent me three MMS, I got the first one and two notifications after. But when tapped, all I saw was the first MMS.
My connection was poor, I thought that could be the cause...

Yea I was wondering if it is a carrier issue or if its LG or Google ?
I think a part of the issue is that the phone creates the notification the moment it recognizes that there is an incoming MMS instead of when the MMS is actually received and able to be viewed.

Well that would be fine if it is a preview of the MMS before it arrives, but when it never arrives is where the problem is. There has got to be a solution. I can't help but wonder whom has sent me a text of which I did not receive.
this happens to me also. its annoying. but i do have my wifi on all the time, so I will try it without wifi on, and see what happens.
I'm having this problem as well and I don't like any of the third-party apps. Has anyone found a fix? Thanks.
Well, I contacted T-Mobile, my carrier, and they went through a lot of troubleshooting. It basically came down to turning on mobile data alongside WiFi because apparently MMS msgs need data to send and receive. Sucks, but there it is.
