MMS issues after rooting - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Nexus 4 can't send MMS after updating to 4.2.1

After I update my Nexus 4 to Android 4.2.1, I can't send MMS.
After I click the send, there is a toast notification told me the service not available or balabala.
I am wondering whether you have the same problem for your Nexus 4 after updating to Android 4.2.1?
Thanks.

I was having the same problem but was able to resolve it. Are you using the stock messaging app or 3rd party? Any 3rd party app I was using (GOSMS, Handcent, ChompsSMS) would not send mms but then I tried it through the stock and it worked perfectly. Something happens when trying to send through 3rd party app where it decides not to work. Not sure why.

That's for stock MMS. But I after reboot the phone it seems good, but when the receiver received the photo, it was distorted.
If I use whatsapp, it worked well.
Not sure what happend for Android 4.2.1
Looks like 3rd party text apps like GoSms have to recode mms for 4.2.1. I have the same issues.
Also on GoSms "private box" doesn't work anymore.

I am having some weird intermittent MMS issues as well - stock 4.2.1 N4. When I attempt to send a pic, it perpetually says 'sending', but seemingly never gets sent. I am also not receiving most MMS pics from others, from what I can tell? Solution anyone?!?

Has anyone been able to fix this? I'm completely unable to send MMS right now. It isn't working through the stock app, I've changed the APN setting to multiple different configurations I found, pulled and put in the SIM card, no cigar. This is driving me mad. I'm on T-Mobile if that's of any assistance.
is this still an issue with the latest update? also who has group mms checked?
It's the same for me on my GNEX with GOSMS - I cannot send or receive MMS. I'll try stock sms and report back.

It's working fine on stock messaging app - I have written to the devs and suggest you all do the same!
Can not receive or send MMS on at&t media net plan. Also can not do group messaging but I'm still researching to see if that is a normal problem with Android.
*****
update - for whatever reason i had to create two different APNs for MMS and Internet and this allowed me to get group messaging and picture messages. let me know if there are other ATT people on MEdiaNet who need assistance in this.
Same here with 4.2.1 and Swisscom provider... :crying:
I had the MMS issue where it would say "sending" and remain in that state. I also could not receive MMS messages. Even on sick messaging. I called AT&T last night and they had to put my new IMEI number in their system. I had to turn off my phone while they sent a refresh OTA. Turned out back on and all good.

Finally it works! The problem was a entry that cm10 has added to the gprs settings APN-TYPE default,supl. I deleted ",supl" and voilĂ , it works perfect (entry came back but since then it works). i like my phone! :good:
What exactly does the "supl" mean anyway in that setting?
i can't seem to send any picture messages, im on rogers , it just 'hang's at sending...
I'm rooted and on stock ROM, it usually sends MMS while on 3g but on wifi it doesn't, it's just stuck on sending... Help?
Btw what is supl

This whole cant send on wifi thing is new to me. It shouldnt matter if youre on wifi or not. It still uses the cell tower to send/retrieve MMS.
same here, but a buy newer fone
I have found that on att I can only use stock app to send Mms. Hopefully a third party one will work soon.

this should fix your issues
I like many of you had this very same issue. Until fixing it tonight and testing I thought I had the elite of apn's my data went from .02 Mbps to 10mbps when I removed the WAP.Cingular stock APN. And replaced it with what users on here were using and it was a insane difference. However I never did have MMS working so I was searching all over and a post on reddit had linked my to this site on another sub forum. So I tried it and bam my MMS is working. Now if there was a way to fix the MMS slideshow thing without adding an app let me know
Here's the link to fix your issues guys:

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.

How to send Emojis as sms?

Hey guys just got this phone today loving it. I have a question when I was using the stock LG keyboard I could add Emoji the problem is they would only send as mms. Any way to have them send as sms?

Is there a way to send a picture with WiFi and data off. On my htc one messaging app would enable data to just send the message then turn it back off.

Well, if you download Textra SMS there is a setting in which it will only turn on your data to send MMS and then it will automatically shut it off. Great way to save data and battery. I've been using Textra for a while now and its simple, light, and fully featured.

I have a lot of experience with textra but I am really enjoying the stock messaging app. On my htc one the stock app could do the same thing as textra that is why it is weird that my g2 can not. I like the little pop up box. It works well.

I'm not sure why it doesn't work for you but I send mms over WiFi all the time with no issues. I just turned mobile data off and tried it and it went through just fine. I'm on the T-Mobile version.

Strange i am on the att version when i turn data off and try to send a picture i get the error "no data connection will send message when connection becomes available."
I am trying to use the same apn settings i had on my one, but so far nothing seems to work. Will keep trying that was one of my favorite features of my one that i would always receive mms instead of having to click download it would automatically do it.

[Q] Sending text over wifi

Sorry if this issue has been posted before. I'm having issues sending text over wifi. To do so I have to disconnect wifi in order to send it. Anyone else having this same issue and if so what can be done to fix it? This is driving me crazy. I'm on Verizon and it's a Note 3

Wifi shouldn't have anything to do with sending text messages.
As long as you have good cell service your text messages should send and receive fine.
Are you talking about picture messages?

I think it's a Verizon issue.. I have the Note 2 with the same issue... Only works with data mode. I can receive messages in WiFi but if they include a pic, I get a placeholder. Then I have to turn data on to view. When I inquired from this group the replies were... I don't have a problem.

Yes, always with pics and a handful or regular text. With regular text most of the time the wheel at the bottom of the text just keeps spinning

I had the same problem. This is how I fixed it for me.
I downloaded 8SMS. It's AOSP on steroids. You can use whatever your favorite SMS replacement app as long as you can manually set the MMSC.
For 8SMS, open settings, open MMSC settings, enter the following WITHOUT QUOTES. "http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms"
make sure MMS over wifi is NOT enabled as Verizon doesn't support this.
btw, I uninstalled the built in messaging app to eliminate any conflicting issues and then configured 8SMS to be "stand-alone mode".
Do you have Adblock Plus installed? That was the culprit for me. Once I uninstalled it, it started working fine.

That's a good point. I forgot about that. I think I had that problem as well. I switched to AdAway which I find is much better and cleaner anyway!

MMS issue

I'm having an issue sending and receiving mms messages, unless my 6p is plugged into a power source. It was working fine until last Saturday. I'm running stock, with the bootloader unlocked. I don't have any adblockers, and tried changing the APNs, and some other tricks people have tried on the forum. Any help or advice would be great.

I apologize, I have tried turning off WiFi, turning on and off airplane mode, enabling and disabling auto mms download. I have WiFi calling off. As soon as I plug my 6p into a power source it will download them. It isn't restricted to just pictures, or contact cards.. I also received a longer text that was sent as an mms and it wouldn't download.

Which carrier and texting app are you using? I've heard there were issues with an update to Verizon's texting app recently in regards to MMS.

The change to the Verizon app was they disabled MMS over Wifi with the recent update. You can get around that restriction by installing a previous version of the app.

I'm on Verizon, I'm using the stock messenger app. I've tried Hangout as well but same result. I have not tried the Verizon app. I know the newest update was causing issues and would have to install the previous version.

I was able to resolve the MMS issue last night. I downloaded the Verizon messages+ app ver. 6.0.6 and tested to make sure that I was able to send myself a picture and was, I then went to my APN setting reset to default, retested with the VZW app and still worked, back to APN changed MMSC and MMS port. Reboot my phone checked that the APN setting didn't change, did a retest with VZW still worked. Opened messenger (stock app) and did a test and MMS was working there as well. So far still using messenger and things are still working. Hope that helps anyone.

Is anyone having a similar issue with Rogers in Canada? My regular text messages usually send immediately but when I send photos or screenshots (MMS), it will get stuck and won't send. Also, when these MMSs are stuck, my regular SMSs won't send either until I get a notification that MMSs has failed. Then all my SMSs can be sent. It seems like Rogers issue for not being able to process larger MMSs but I want to know if others using Rogers are experiencing it.
