My device is running WM6.
I don't send MMS often, but I've noticed that I can no longer send or receive MMS messages. They get stuck in my outbox or come in with a message saying they can't be downloaded.
When I first got the phone, it worked fine. Now, it tells me that the images are too big to be sent (don't know where the 100k limit came from), even though I only use the cell phone camera to take pics and i have to compress them. After compressing, it still doesn't send.
What should my settings be? Where do I find these settings?
Anyone?
Could I be having this issue because I use the Tmobile $5.99 internet?? If so, can someone tell me what (if anything) I can do to fix it??
For some reason since day one I cannot send or receive MMS messages. I am running fully stock. When I send the message says sending and wont send, and when I receive one it shows downloading and will not download.
Can anyone suggest a fix for this?
I searched around and i found a similair post on reddit about this. The only way to fix is with a factory reset in settings. I did this and sure enough my mms worked.
Hey!
Yesterday I bought a N5 and today I noticed my friends dont recieve my pictures if I do not turn on my Mobile Data. This isn't really bad..the worst thing is that if I do not have Mobile Data turned on I do not know I even got an MMS.
So I must get my data always on to even know somebody sent me a picture? If there was a way I could at least get a warning that MMS ciuldn't be downloaded because there is no networtk that would be great.
How is everyone else experiencing this?
Oh, and I have Android Lollipop
MMS (pic messages) is data dependent. Even if on WiFi, MMS will use data

You HAVE to have data on to do anything MMS related. Unless you're using an instant message client like WhatsApp you REQUIRE to have data on.
Actually, in part MMS send and receive configuration is dependent on carrier configurations and not only device or ROM settings.
Somehow, I think data switching for MMS is okay when data is off and other times it is broken. Some kind of receiver or meta-info with the mms transmit.
Textra app on playstore used to have "temporarily activate mobile data for mms" in a troubleshooting section. I don't see it in the current new version for Lollipop, maybe soon though.
Some phones and ROMs and carriers will turn data on for mms and not tally against plan data usage limits, so data could otherwise be technically off so zero or very low data plans don't overage.
Is there a way to make the Nexus 5 auto turn on data whenever sending or receiving a mms?
I'm using go sms and there's a setting for that but it doesn't work
I don't know whats going on but i can receive just fine but can't send mms only txt , am I missing something?
Not sure but I'm currently having the same exact problem

You are not really helping with your situation. Are you stock, flashed anything, issue just randomly start, using stock messaging app etc? More information you supply the easier it would be to help out.
Ok Ducter my bad, is ok I was told to register network and that did it… mughtykc I suggest you do the same… thank you ☺
still not able to send MMS or recieve since the last update
im 100% stock, have a few appls disabled with package disabler pro,
ive enabled everything to see if maybe something i did was the problem
cant send MMS or recieve them, always get a failed to download, try again message
ive played with different APN settings and "registered" the network and still nothing
ive tried different messaging apps
Hangouts
Google messenger
Stock Samsung messenger
etc etc
edit:
got curious, called Tmobile, i ended up factory wiping the device, still the same problem
going to go with a new Sim card and see if that fixes anything
Greetings,
My son has a Nexus 5 that I recently rooted for him. He is running the stock 6.0 rom. He is having times when he can not receive MMS messages. It will just sit there downloading. This was a problem before he was rooted. I had him try messenger instead of hangouts & that worked for a while but started again yesterday. After I rebooted, it seemed to work for now. Any thoughts? He also has a similar problem downloading torrents. Sometimes it works & sometimes nothing will work. Would going to a different rom help? Maybe Pure Nexus or CM13. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

The obvious thing would be the settings. Have you checked the MMS settings with your carrier's website? And (unless I'm badly mistaken) MMS works on data (in the UK at least), so it needs to be switched on to allow the phone to receive MMS messages.
Or do you mean that it's intermittent ("He is having times when he can not receive MMS messages"), in which case it may just be the signal?

I checked the setting to make sure he can receive MMS. Also, data is on & working. As far as the signal strength, if it was low would not all SMS & MMS not be received?

Pat, I'm an end-user as I guess you are, so I can't talk sensibly about the technicalities. I do know from experience that SMS and MMS are separate functions - you can receive SMSs any time that you have a signal, but if your MMS settings aren't perfectly configured you don't get the messages. On a number of occasions I've had a pop-up saying "You have an MMS message" but it wasn't downloaded until I specifically enabled data (even though wifi was already enabled).
Actually, that last sentence raises a question in my own head. If both wifi and data are on, Android will prefer wifi - I wonder if it actually disables data, or would an MMS still arrive even though wifi is overriding data? Maybe somebody who knows what they're talking about can help us both...
You didn't answer my question about whether it's intermittent. Has the phone ever received MMS? If so, when did it stop? If it has never received them, I would really double-check your carrier website and look particularly for different advice - my own UK provider's forum has a number of pages, and there are several different MMS configurations, all of them claiming to be the definitive settings...
