When I try to send an MMS it just sits there with the with the "sending" animation and keeps doing that for a few hours (yes, hours) until it fails, and when I try to download an MMS, it says that it is downloading but just fails after about a minute. I have packet data enabled, my APNs are default, and I have mobile data enabled. Any ideas?

did You switching off WiFi. MMS sends only over operator data-channel.
if Your operator non Verizon it is not possible now. You can't send/ressive MMS over non-Verizon.

if you dont have data enabled at the time you receive the msg it wont automatically download...for me at least.
its quite annoying because on the CM10 roms ive used they never download even when i turn on data.
Personally the solution to my problem turned out to be Orbot interfering with messaging somehow, after disabling it I was able to send and recieve MMS

I have some issues with my Skyrocket. It likes to take a long delay sometimes when trying to load anything with internet. Sometimes just 10-15 seconds, then loads perfectly. Other times, hours.
The only fix I have found with this is using the Tweakker app's APN settings for 4G(LTE). However, when I use this APN I can no longer receive MMS messages.
Can you guys tell me what APN settings I could use to be able to use my internet correctly AND get MMS?
Thanks for any help

search for AT&T PTA.
Turn on DATA in settings and it use data for a bit, reboot. and AT&T should force the PTA APN to your phone, it then becomes un-editable. Also, make sure you have the correct baseband radio; then the PTA apn will be pushed to you.
If you are still having issues recieving MMS. it's bcuz your MMS APK is AOSP. AOSP MMS won't let you receive pic msgs from non-android phones.
Again Please Search Before Posting New Thread!!!!!! I am sure you will find you answer!!!!!

Hi all,
I'm running the 8107 build on my unlocked v1.4 Samsung Focus.
For some reason, when I'm connected to WiFi, I'm unable to send MMS messages - when doing so, I receive a "Can't send message Try again" error.
If I disable WiFi at that point (revert to 3G) and try to resend the msg, it is sent without issue.
Whatdya' think?
Thanks!
Are you turning cellular data off and then going to wifi? You need cellular data on to send MMS. MMS can't be done over wifi.

Nope - phone just picks up the WiFi connection automatically (as it's been previously connected).
My wife has a non-unlocked v1.3 Focus, and she has no issues sending MMS when connected to the same WiFi network (?)
i have the same problem with my htc 7 pro. but i found out that it has nothing to do with wifi, the mms of wp7 are concepted only to use 3g and not wifi internet connection, it has something to do with the MMSC server where the messages come in from your device. and MMS and SMS look similar but are two different systems in message delivery.
an other way to send it over wifi is with an email to the recipient in this form [email protected] PTN is public telephone number and the carrier name is carrier specific... thats the only way sending over wifi/http.
This is super frustrating...people are sending me pictures, but all I see in the text thread is "Downloading". I've got full strength signal, and sometimes I'm also connected to WiFi.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Are you talking about MMS?
When I was on JB,I had to manually install my APN settings for MMS.
Google your MMs settings,and enter them manually.

Could you give me a hand if you've got a minute? I'm not quite sure what I'm looking for, or how to access those settings in the menu tree? Thanks a million!
EDIT:
I found the APN setting in the menu...I made a few changes, hopefully that will do the trick!
EDIT:
Nope. Still messed up. Could someone share their APN settings in here?

Hi,
I am not currently on JB.
Go to settings/mobile data/ and I think APN settings.
Have a look.
First you need to google your MMS settings.
You want your carrier and area.
When you get to your APN list,press the second button from the left on your phone,and select a "NEW" APN.
Enter the new configuration,save,and reboot.
Let us know if it works.
I'm on paranoid android (i.e. JB)
i can receive mms pictures by doing these things (I use stock aosp messaging app)
turn off wifi
turn on network data
ensure mms apn is correct
turn off auto retrieve in mms settings
when i receive an mms, i have to manually download the pic. not only the stock mms app won't download the pic automatically, if i turn on auto retrieve, i dont receive mms at all. however go sms can download pic automatically.
This is something I've been trying to figure out for a while. If I have wifi and data on at the same time, which takes precedence? Am I still eating through mobile data, despite wifi being on, or is wifi taking care of all of it?
Reason I ask is this: I'm running Scott's latest 4.2.1 build, and if I receive an MMS while my data is off, I can never actually download that MMS. It seemingly downloads, but just ends up being a blank image, even after I turn my data on. If my data is turned on, the MMS comes through as it should. It's kind of a pain to ask friends to please notify me before they send an MMS so that I can turn data on while I'm just at home where I can use wifi.
As far as I know, Wifi takes precedence. But every ROM I've tried, MMS only downloads via mobile data.
The phone will always prefer wifi if a connection is available, and fallback to data whenever it is not connected to wifi.
As for mms, gosms lets you toggle data on whenever you receive one and then lets you download it.. Not sure if the stock mms app works the same way
I just got the N5 for T-Mobile. I am having issues trying to send MMS (pictures or group texts). Data is enabled as well as Wifi. This setting the mms just hangs and never goes through. I have to turn wifi off in order for it to go through. This doesn't seem ideal as it should be able to switch automatically.
Is there a solution?
You can try 8sms. It worked for me
You try fixing your APN settings?
