Sprint S10+ Unable to send MMS over wifi... Uses data - Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers

On my S8+ I noticed this was the case too around November or so, and I am still seeing it on my S10+ too. Used to be able to send MMS (with mobile data completely turned OFF) over wifi, but now it needs mobile data. Anyone else? Whether on Sprint or TMo

Is it possible?

I have a AT&T HTC Fuze p4600 and I have the data plan shut off so I wouldn't get charged fees that I did not confirm, I use wifi basically everywhere I go and I was wondering is there a way I can get my mms messages to download. I have the unlimited messaging plan. But since I had AT&T shut there data connection off they said I would not be able to recieve any mms and when someone sends me one it asks me if I want to download but it never does...
So is it possible to fix that.

MMS problems

I have been having problems for quite a while with receiving MMS messages and sending them as well. I am on a monthly pay as you go plan with no data and i am out of the tmobile network, (roaming still in US) but with my previous phone (sidekick 4g), I was able to send and receive MMS messages if i had wifi calling on. Now that trick doesn't seem to work but once every good while. All I get is the download option then my bars will get that "x" over them to signify no coverage and wifi calling will turn off and after a while start again and no progress will be made in the download process. I have tried having both national and international roaming on and neither seem to make a difference. I havent made any tries to change the apn settings. Could anyone help me solve my dilemma? Thanks any help will be greatly appreciated.

Even though you're on a pay-as-you-go plan, you'll still need data enabled to send/receive mms messages. Otherwise you'll receive the message but never be able to download the attachment. My phone is on a plan without data, but I still have to enable data in order to send and receive MMS messages. I also need a good amount of signal (it has to be practically full signal) for it to go through. As far as my experience goes, you can't send or receive MMS messages while Wi-Fi Calling is enabled. Your signal bars show no signal because your phone is switching between Wi-Fi Calling and mobile radio. As for APN setting, I'm not sure which ones do and don't work. Whenever I have issues with MMS, I look up the values and re-set them.
TL;DR Just enable data and give it a try.

I have T-Mobile as well. If you watch closely when receiving an MMS, you will see that although WiFi calling is enabled, the mobile data indicator will show up and transfer the data.
As far as APN settings are concerned, it has no effect on WiFi calling. If you can receive MMS when connected to mobile data then your APN settings are correct.

The thing is that I do have my data enabled and i do see the indicator showing the data transfer but its usually a "G" and the arrows neither go up or down, but its really strange yesterday I was able to test it out and I was able to recieve an MMS but I tried sending one right after and nothing happened. I will probably recieve the failed to send message later on today. I was just hoping there was a fix to this. And as far as I have seen with experimenting with it, WiFi calling must be enabled for me to send or recieve MMS if not I get the message of could not send or could not download right away

unlocked AT&T LG G2 does not has Tmobile data

Hi, this is my first post on XDA, i bought an unlokced ATT&T LG G2 last month and use it on T-mobile network, i was able to make calls and send/receive messages fine. i just changed my family plan from Classic to Simple Choice yesterday, and we were supposed to have unlimited data with 1 gb of 4g lte. When i tested the data plan on my sister's iphone 5, she was able to get online with the LTE icon on the notification bar. However, when i tested on my phone, it does not show H, 2G, 3G, 4G, or 4G LTE and i was not able to get online. i have contact T-mobile support, and they said my phone was already registered, all the information was provided correctly but i still has no luck getting my phone online. I have played with the data setting such as turning it on and off, the airplane mode and even restart my phone but i still have no luck. Does anyone has this problem? please help me. :crying::crying:

VZW Phone To T-mobile - Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+

I have the Verizon model of the S6 Edge+ (SM-G928V) I want to know if it's possible to flash it with the t-mobile rom??
I currently have a T-mobile MicroSIM that i put into the verizon phone. I had to configure it with the t-mobile APN to get calls/text to work. Currently I have a few issues:
1) I can make & receive calls, send & receive texts, but CANNOT send mms, but i can recieve mms sent to me. (I tried to see if enabling wifi would make a difference but it doesn't)
2) I get an annoying message anytime the phone reboots that says I'm not using a verizon wireless SIM. (if anyone knows how to get rid of that, great. if not it's not such big of a deal)
3) How to remove the Verizion boot loading screen??
Do I run the risk of bricking or tripping knox if i try to use a t-mobile rom on a verizion phone? Or does anyone know how to resolve any of the issues i'm having? Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance. (and No, just getting the t-mobile version of phone is not an option for me)

You cannot rom that phone because Verizon nazis lock all bootloaders on all their devices. As for the sending mms you'll probably need to take it to a t-mobile store and have them sim unlock and flash their full apn. That should do it but I can't say for sure since I've never used a Verizon phone on t-mobile
So just to update: The issue with not being able to send mms messages is because of the Message+ app that was set as default messaging app (factory reset setting). When I changed the messaging app to the "Messages" Samsung app I'm able to send&receive mms with no issues. (Please note the proper APN settings must be set)
The other issues such as the loading screen and the SIM notification I'm not too worked about, but if you have any help on those that should be great.
The only *real* issues with using t-mobile sum card with vzw phone is that the service isn't all that great, I seem to have 3g in some areas where I can't send mms while on the phone, but other than that it works well on an unlocked phone.

I believe the radios in verizon phones don't cover all the band's that t-mobile uses. However t-mobile phones tend to run pretty well on Verizon so your signal issues will continue until t-mobile launches band 12 in your area, which is the primary band that Verizon uses for Lte
Samsung lists band 12 on their site for the Verizon S6e+.
Swipe left or right to get rid of the SIM message. I've posted a similar thread here too.

T-Mobile MMS over wifi

Is anyone else having issues with MMS not sending over wifi? On my S9+ whenever I'm on wifi and have wifi calling enabled, my calls,text and mms all send when on wifi even if I have no signal. The OP6T doesnt seem to be sending the mms. Any ideas?
I personally haven't had them not send, but when I was on wifi only (airplane mode with WiFi on), it took a minute to send.

Seems to be working okay for me, i also have wifi calling enabled and don't seems to be having any MMS issues,I have the stock messenger disabled and I am using the google messages app for messaging if that matters or not I don't know.maybe try going into apps and notifications and select see all apps then check under the three dots to show system and clear cache and storage under MmsService and see if that helps.
Sending WiFi through mms on T-Mobile is always iffy unless you're using an old S7 which has RCS support. Or you're sending to another T-Mobile user using the old RCS support.
It might work with your S9+ but it's not always consistent and in the background it will use the mobile data over WiFi, despite your WiFi calling settings.
It's not a phone issue, it's a carrier issue.
My solution was to get a cellspot from T-Mobile. They're free ($25 deposit that turns into bill credits after one month).
I just tried it sending messages to my wife's phone. I'm on T-Mobile USA.
Airplane mode on, wifi on, SMS sends fine. MMS sends fine.
Don't know what to tell you. International version of phone too (aka not the TMO variant).

Ironically, it's the opposite for me. I HAD this problem on my Notes, but I don't have any MMS problems on my 6t. I agree that it's just a TMobile issue.
Works for me on the 6t
Thanks for the posts guys I figured out that it's random for me, which lines up with it being TMobile like you all suggested.
What fixed it for me is turning on airplane mode and then just WiFi. This works 100% of the tests for me, vs just turning on WiFi and waiting to make sure WiFi calling had kicked in. Stock one plus messenger app btw
