MMS issue - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Where is a good trustworthy place to download the previous version of the Verizon messages app?

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.

MMS Problems? Sending...

So i looked around for a bit on here for MMS problems, and i couldn't find anything. When i was running WinMO 6.5 i could send MMS just fine. My friend rooted my phone with Android, and now when i send MMS it just says sending...
and never sends the message. I sent something last night, and when i woke up it still said sending...
Is there a fix for this? i do have MMS service enabled though T-mobile, and i can receive picture messages just fine. I was using stock app for the messaging, but then i though, hmm, i saw one on the market. so i used Handcent and the same problem occurred. Help would be greatly appreciated
edit; now i asked a friend to send me an MMS, and it says downloading and never downloads either!
I also have the same problem. But if you wonna receive the pictures just turn your mobile data on and then go to mms and click download. It should work but this doesn't seem to work with sending the MMS.
Same here, just need to know that modules work together with the mms.apk
Check and see if the data is enabled. That may be a solution.
The thing is I don't have data so I have it off at aall times
Edit: just turned on data for the Lulz to see If it would work, nothin :/

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:

[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!

NOT able to send or receive picture messages!!!

I am currently using a stock everything 6p with a Verizon sim for some strange reason today I'm not able to send or receive pictures on the stock messaging app. I read a few other people been having this same issue. Has anyone found the solution yet?

Couple of things. 1 check to see if you connected to LTE, You cannot send MMS over wifi on Verizon. They took that feature out, dont know why. Second, Check to see if there any old MMS that are stuck, its good idea to delete all old MMS that are pending to be sent and retry.
Someone else posted something similar the other night, they had one of those old MMS stuck in resizing. He deleted that message and his MMS started working again.
I have a similar problem since I updated to Verizon Message version 6.06. I could not go back to the last version, and I was unable to find the prior version APK file; however, Amazon had a very old version of Verizon Message, so I loaded that and it fixed the issue. I was also able to use the stock message app to get and send MMS, but with Verizon's app I could not.

Hi, without trying to hijack the thread, why solid this be an issue? I am having trouble with my s5 cm 13 alpha and assumed it was because of that, but does pushbullet affect it?

I had trouble with my 6p sending MMS. After googling it, I found people with the same issue and quite a few had pushbullet installed and said that once they uninstalled it, it worked fine. Once I uninstalled it, MMS started working again.

This happened to me the other day. I tried turning data on/off, airport mode on/off, restarting the device, clearing data&cache from the Messages application as well as reverting Messages to factory and reinstalling the updates.
Either by chance or by one/all of those things, it seemed to clear up.
This is not just Verizon, it's happening to T-Mobile also but I don't think it's a carrier issue. My nexus 5 does the same thing as my 6p. Rebooting the phones and it starts working again. This affects group messaging also. When I receive a group text it days unable to download. Restart they phone and it comes through. Hopefully this is a marshmallow issue that will hey fixed ota.
It's the app. Mostly happens to me when WiFi is connected with "WiFi calling" enabled. I disable WiFi and reboot the phone and then everything works again. It happens to me once in every month, if that. Don't bother me much.

Message+ (Verizon messenger) not receiving text group messages from iPhone users

I use Verizon's Message+ as my default text messaging app. When I send a group message to others, I receive the replies (from iPhone users) as a DOWNLOAD. If I click on it, it says Downloading but nothing comes through.
I have read that some people have this problem if they switched over from an iPhone and were using iMessenger. I've always had an Android, never an iPhone.
I have tried using stock messenger and same thing happens. It appears this started when I starting using the 6P, didn't have this issue with previous phones.
Do you have to hit a download button for videos and photos sent to you?
No.

Huh, odd. My thought was that perhaps MMS auto-retrieve is disabled since group messages are usually MMS. If not, I'm afraid I have no idea.

Auto-reply is active. I'm wondering if it could be:
1) an updated version of iOS?
2) Nexus 6P and Verizon not working together nicely?
There is already a thread on this topic. Verizon messages is screwed up in the latest update. You need to find the apk for version 6.02 for messenger to work with MMS.
Great! Thanks for the info.
