MMS attachments via wifi? - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

Am I the only one that can not send/receive attachments while on wifi? Whenever I attempt it just hangs, regardless of what modem I flash, I am forced to resend/re-download after I reconnect to data. I'm currently on anton's 1.1.0 ROM(with the kernel he included)

Whenever I'm on wifi and I goto send an mms my phone just switches to data until it sends then of goes back to wifi. I used to have that problem too

With how MMS works you have to be on mobile data to download them. I have never been able to download a mms while on just wifi.

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.

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.

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

Download MMS over wifi

Is it possible to download MMS when mobile data is off and Wi-Fi is on? Everything I've read says not possible, is it a greedy carrier thing to use mobile data? Manufacturer? Android? I could have sworn I used to do it fine on HTC phones or Motorola's. I don't get any notifications about MMS of Wi-Fi is the only one turned on. Can we change it with a different ROM?
Sent from the Matrix
No it's strictly data. Think of it this way, texts are sent through your data signal and service so in order to receive that picture you download it through your data which uses that signal to retrieve it. Idk if I make sense but this is what I've been told.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Hmmm thanks. I wonder why i don't get notifications for it though
Sent from the Matrix
Try using the "textplus" app in playstore. You can send mms/text and even call voip via wifi connection.

The Verizon Message App didn't fix the phone to allow you to download pictures sent via text over wifi... Still have to turn off Wifi and turn on Mobile Data in order to get the pictures. I think this sucks as I just switched to Verizon from Sprint less than a week ago and with Sprint you could get those pictures on wifi or mobile data. Its just a ploy to make you use more data and there has to be a way around it as it is Carrier Specific and NOT Phone Specific...
I use the vzw msg app with avail data, and the textplus app via wifi. Working for me so far.

Doesn't appear to be as you describe it -- I've been struggling to get MMS picture messages through (from my Galaxy Nexus / toro / VzW) when the phone is also connected to WiFi. Digging pretty deep into the issue (a few people still working on it), it appears to actually be a bug (google this for a lot of eye-burning reading ). Anyway - taking a break from the detective work trying to figure out how to make it work, I installed Verizon Messaging on both my Galaxy Nexus and my Nexus 10, which - as you can imagine - has NO cellular connection. I'm also in my home office at the moment, in a finished basement with incredibly poor VzW network connectivity. After failing at being able to send/receive a picture MMS for the last few hours, installing Verizon Messaging seems to have done the trick: I can now easily send / receive picture MMS from the phone while it's connected to WiFi with barely any usable VzW network signal.

As long as both are on it will work. MMS goes through a Verizon data only server. That it what the problem is.
personaly, i don't get it. how hard would it be to have a 3rd party intercept an MMS and send the attactment via email thereby sending it via WIFI?

At&t APN to use data for MMS only?

Hey all,
Is there a way to setup my phone to use the at&t data for sending and receiving MMS only? I have a hotspot that I carry around so I don't need the data on the phone for anything else. I tried setting APN type to MMS only. But still getting hangout messages that aren't text related when WiFi off and only phone data .

Wi-Fi Disconnects when sending MMS...?

when i send MMS (picture messages), my S7 automatically disconnects from my WiFi.. is that normal? if so, why does it do that? i have Tmobile S7 if that matters. Thanks!
It is normal because mms goes over data. It cant go over wifi.
