You can't do MMS over wifi, you'll have to switch to mobile data to do MMS. It should work normally, but I've found that MIUI and MMS don't really go together when you're on wifi.

Ok I see. I turned off WiFi and of course my data doesn't work. I thought MIUI/CM7 fixed the loss of apn (data) issue ? Although I can make calls, I can not use data over the mobile network unless I remove my battery and reboot with WiFi off. This sucks.

Are you sure your are actually connected to the data network ? try to access the market if it fails then you are not connected.

Yup! I can successfully connect. But my apns have data and mms as different profiles. So I think its switching to mms then before it sends properly it tries switching back to data? I don't think there's a way to combine the two apns for wind mobile. But it works fine on weapon :s any more clues??
Thanks for your help so far!!

APNs are like that. One APN for data, one for mms.

Hmm I noticed in #*#*4636*#*# that my phone is constantly switching between data and mms. I've tried deleting the mms that I'm sending but the phone still constantly switches between the two. Anyone have any reasons?
Sent from my Flashback HC-TAB using XDA Forum App
I just checked and once I try and send an mms it locks the phone in this vicious cycle of switching between internet and mms apn settings. Then a reboot fixes it. Anyone else experience this? I'm not sure if or how I can give more detailed info.
i dont have any issue, but sometime when phone goes through dead spot and radio crashes.. where it stay stuck in no service, you flick on plane mode and it doesn't effect it. So you'd have to reboot in order to get your service back. Otherway around that is you go in mobile network and select your network, but apns will disappear. :d SO just reboot.

Hey! Yeah I do the same thing for the Internet apn.
All I need now is mms APN then I'd be on it full time ! lol

Would it be too much trouble to ask you how did you fix this? some of us are dealing with this issue and we will appreciate if you can give us the solution since there's no patch or fix out there
thanks
I looked around and found that mms doesn't work over wifi, regardless of rom or root or anything. It seems the tmo servers need to make a data connection in order to start mms send. I've never had a problem receiving mms over wifi, but sending seems not possible.
Edit: As far as receiving, I enabled "auto retrieve"and have had no problems receiving mms on wifi.

I'm not using WiFi to send MMS and after checking the APNs I found two one says epc.t-mobile.com and the other one says simple with proxy settings in it... did a hard reboot, reboot, wipe dalvik cache, wipe cache and still have the same issue, very frustrating

Is there a way to set up the mms apn seperate from the data apn? I would think you could use mms without data. Well at least back in the day on flip phones you could.

Total FAIL!!!!!
I have APN issues when I change the "build.prop" to allow Netflix play. Its the hack that changes the manufacturer to HTC Vision.
Anyhow, everytime I do that Data stops working. MMS stops working too. Had to enable WiFi for MMS to download to the phone.
This is sad news, will always need Data, even for MMS. Just so wrong.
what? you dont need a data plan to get mms working. I dont have a data plan and my mms works great. Now depending on which build you are using you will have to turn off wifi to allow the mms to be downloaded to you phone but just make sure your data box in settings is checked and you shouldnt have any problems.

I use the build.prop for Netflix and everything works including mms and pix on my phone. All it really does that I notice is change the signature to HTC vision if I respond on my phone to xda
What are the changes you do the build.prop?
I changed everything
Model
ro.product.model=HTC Vision
ro.product.name=vision
ro.product.device=vision
ro.product.board=vision
And the fingerprint.
It sucks, when I change the build.prop I lose Data connectivity and can stream on Netflix only with WiFi never on 4G
Which lines did you change?

Only needed to change 2 lines: model and manufacturer. Change model to HTC Vision and manufacturer to HTC. Then reboot.

Are you being billed per MB of data though?
No. No extra charges on my account for mbs. I have unlimited text messages but beyond that I have no charges

Haven't read other responses, so, hoping I'm not repeating sage advice...I have a no data plan too, just make sure you tell t mobile you DON'T want data, the website or better a live person can block it...Then, go to phone and ENABLE DATA! There you hve it, pix and tricks till you cry...
Thanks made the changes data works with just changes to the buid.prop file.
Thanks
yea it doesn't work off wifi at all but im running the rc and after a couple reboots the edge symbol comes on and i can't go on the web but the mms works i guess it just takes a couple reboots to get it working at first
So of course I have the Samsung infuse 4g, It always worked fine, but these past few days, whenever i receive a mms, it comes as a link, and I cannot send a single mms out... I have the MIUI rom installed (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1355691) and i just have a few tweaks on it, the adrenaline, cm7 froyo one. they never bothered me, so i know thats not the cause. is it just the server being down or something? or is anyone else having this problem? and know a fix? xD
Go to settings > Wireless and Network > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names. I'm not sure if it's the same in MIUI, but it should be similar. You most likely only have 1 APN, which is for internet. You will need to add a 2nd APN or do the 1 APN trick to get MMS, but your internet Speeds WILL be lowered.
How do you do that trick? o.o

Hey all. Got a question about having issues with my mms messaging. I've been doing some reading about it and fixed the issue by adding an apn. I don't have a data plan but after entering the apn, I was able to access internet even without wifi. Now I'm worrying about extra charges I may occur. I stopped using the data internet but my data arrows continue to blink even without using any apps..why are these data output and input occurring? And was that the only fix for the mms issues occurring?
Sorry that its 2012 and I'm posting this but this was just an affordable unlocked smartphone for me.

Hi Buddy,
It could be possible that you could incur extra charges for the data usage,if you do not have a data plan. Hopefully, I'm guessing you haven't overused it. Which ROM have you been using these APN settings on ? Just go to settings>wireless settings>mobile settings>turn off data. You could also try any APN apps from the market, if this process does not work for you. MMS settings would require a little data connectivity, correct me if I'm wrong.
I was using tmobile us appname but decided to delete all apns. Yes mms requires a little data but without a data plan, data usages would somewhat be kept on check while keeping mms' to work. But with the apn, there's really nothing restricting me from using data which I've never encountered before while on my g1 and charm. I've decided to play it safe and only turn on apn when I'm sending or receiving mms with a market app to help input the settings for apn quickly. Thanks much for your input

After the black update, I lost the ability to send and receive MMS on my Unlocked Lumia 1020 on T-Mobile USA network. I've entered the fast.t-mobile.com APN settings on both Internet and MMS, I have 4G LTE internet working, but MMS still does not work.
Before there was a Nokia app that auto configured this for me. I can't seem to find this after the Black update, or it is baked into the system now, but for the life of me, I cannot get the MMS working with the APN settings I have. Tried both epc and fast.

I'll be going into my local T-Mobile store later today, hopefully I can get an answer from them.
I got mine working.
OK so with the access point app installed what I did was install a manual APN outside that settings app. I went to settings > cellular and pressed the add MMS APN.
Once I set it up I was able to send but not receive. Just use the APN settings available pretty much anywhere for T-Mobile. After that remove the settings all together and reboot.
I guess the APN app setting kicks in again and viola. Worked for me anyways. Hope it works for everyone else.

I'm not sure when exactly I lost the ability to send mms through the default messaging app but it definitely works on 5.0.2 and definitely doesn't work on at least 4 different CM12.1 roms, all very cleanly flashed. It works through textra and chomp though, so it's not an apn issue. No one else seems to be complaining however...maybe most people don't use the pre-installed messaging app? I don't know, but I wish I knew why it stopped working and how to fix it.

Hey Guys -- I'm glad I found this thread for, I too, have had MMS issues since upgrading to 12. When I upgraded, it set my default to Messenger which was fine. However, I noticed I couldn't send MMS through Messenger. I found the thread for correct AT&T APN for MMS. I checked and configured my APN to the correct settings. However, still no MMS sent capability. So I switched back to the standard Hangouts and no problem.
However, I have to think I can't be "stuck" on using Hangouts for MMS, right???
Thanks.
Its apparently an issue that Google has, the app doesn't know what APN to use. Hangouts or another SMS should work fine.

Textra works great.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
I'm running CM12 (not .1 though) on my LG G3 (D850). I couldn't get Messenger MMS working until I deleted all the APN's that I didn't need. Only kept the ATT LTE one and now MMS works just fine. YMMV, but worth a shot.
I had issues with the APN after a CM12S update. If you are rooted, rename /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db and data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/shared_prefs/preferred-apn1.xml to have a .bak extension (or delete them outright) and reboot. The system will rebuild them and you should get your telephony database and preferred APN restored. If you're not rooted, you don't need to, but you can rename the file via ADB.

Anyone that is still experiencing the issue please follow this link and vote this subject up.
https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-3371
This is the bug log for Cyanogen and they just escalated the issue to critical.
Similar problem but slightly different here.
When I attempt to send mms (using messaging, messenger, hangouts or textra)
It causes device to drop data connection until I turn cell data off and on again.
If I do not send any mms internet works fine on 3g, H+ and LTE (4g)
I have removed all but the optus mms apn, updated the APN to match optus APN listing....
(Primary proxy and authentication had to be changed)
Still no progress. Anyone able to shed some light on where I going wrong?
Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (N910G)
CM12.1
No problem here. I use Hangouts though
tried this method, did not work. I had to go back in after and pick my preferred APN to get data to work again.
when I upgraded to 12.1 my apn was set to internet, rather than cricket aio.
Cricket AIO seems to have the correct settings according to https://www.cricketwireless.com/sup...ice-byod/customer/bring-your-own-android.html
