.... i don't recall receiving/sending MMS messages being done over WiFi....

It only doesn't work on WiFi? This might be a stretch but MMS wasn't working for me at all on AT&T, then I realized that AdBlocker was blocking my MMS messages. Turned it off and uninstalled it and now it's working fine.

SMS/MMS use phone signal to send/receive, not wifi

MMS over WiFi?

There isn't much else to say. Just is it possible to send or receive MMS over WiFi?

Sure but the 2 devices must be connected to the same wifi

+1000. Been rule since beginning of time. :laugh:
Not possible on Verizon. Certain features require access to network elements firewalled from the internet and must be accessed via the Verizon network. For example, MMS, Visual Voicemail, and Backup Assistant.
So that means if I want to use MMS, i'll have to turn off wifi, turn on data and then send and receive?
No, your phone automatically turns on data when sending or receiving mms messages.

Tmobile mms not working

Since I had the phone on Thursday everything was fine. I've been using 8sms messaging app and I was able to send and receive pictures. But on Monday all my mms speed coming through. All I get is the notification that there is an mms waiting (see picture). And it's not just for pictures but even if I send a mass text message to a couple people and someone replies it comes back as a mms and even that won't come through, after I click the "download" button it just says "couldn't download message no subject from (senders name)". I'm on a T-Mobile family plan.

will they come through in the hangouts app?
Seems no, I changed my default messaging app back to hangout and had a friend send me a picture, she says she sent two but nothing came through not even the notification like in the above screenshot.
This is my apn

are you using an alternate gallery besides the stock gallery and/or the photos app?
Nop everything is stock. Still nothing came through the hangout app since she sent it

Oh wow - I have to say this is really dumb, I just changed my default to making app to textra and all the pictures/ mms I had waiting came through in the textra app. Still nothing through hangouts and 8sms...

I had this issue a few phones ago with Tmobile. I had to call and add MMS to my account even though it's free. Might not still be that way but worth a call.
Well it works with the textra app but not with hangouts or 8sms.

Not receiving SMS on sprint

So, unlocked running multiple different ROMs I've noticed that I'm no longer receiving texts. Sometimes they all come in later in the day in a big batch. I am on Sprint and using the Google voice integration. If I install the Google voice app I can get my texts right away in that app but not coming through hangouts. Anyone have any experience with this or any ideas? I've flashed back to stock, but still unlocked and rooted... No change. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Tried using chomp SMS, no change. Also, MMS appears to be unaffected.

I had this issue my first day with my Nexus... I found that toggling my mobile network between global and LTE fixed it. Then I updated profile and PRL and it hasn't happened since

Are you using the built-in messaging app? If so, try chomping (my favorite) or Textra. They have settings to deal with T-Mobile issues, and work great!
