So. I have looked, And looked. Tried XDA, android central, Google search. No answers. Even called Google about this. I had an HTC incredible s before the n5 running 4.0.4. I would be connected to my WiFi. Mobile data would be off. I would send a MMS. Mobile data would turn on, send the MMS and turn off. All the while WiFi was still on. Now after some search it seems this was a code I'm the framework of sense ROMs. The phone was rooted and running mike1986 ROM. Awsome feature. Fast forward to today. N5 will not let me do this. My wife's moto x is the same issue. Now I understand this is not a huge deal to some but to have to turn off WiFi to send AND receive even the notification of an MMS is annoying. Is there any way to get around this? I have tried 8sms, and another app. Can't remember the name. No luck. Thanks guys!
No one?

@montrealer99 use textra does exactly that and can send sms and mms straight over wifi and it uses ur actual phone number
Thank you. Tried it today but still no luck. I find it hard to believe its so complicated for Google to fix this or at least add it as an option after 4.0

So it seems that as a battery saving idea, mobile data gets turned off when WiFi is connected. Will not allow MMS to function.

Have you tried go SMS? My dad uses it & it has helped him.

Same thing. Now one person at my work has a n5 on a different carrier and it works. Another is on the same carrier as that person with a gs4 and it does not work. Both are running 4.4.2

I dont know if this a problem im having with the phone or is this how it is, some times when my phone is not being used and i pick it up after a few mins, it takes about 30 to 40 seconds to pick u data connection again, the bars stay white than turn green.
Can any one confirm if its just me or is it a bug or is it just built this way.
Thank you.

Are you running any custom roms or stock?

Stock, i just got the phone so i havent done anything to it yet.

I wouldn't say its a bug or anything. I had the same problem on my vibrant. Usually a network or tower issue within your area. Otherwise if you have a case on, that may be the culprit.

It also does that with the wifi on. But if its just how it is than i guess i dont have to exchange devices, cuz i dont like doing that buy if i have to i dont mind.

The 3g and wifi icons only turn green when the phone is connected to the internet "&" google services, if the icons are white you are connected to the internet but not google services, this is by design.
Thank you so much. Now i dont have to worry about about an exchange at all.

haha quit being cheap and get an actual tmo line. But anyways i would say search simple mobile mms settings.
Sending a pic to yourself will always work. Is your phone rooted?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
Yes it rooted. Did a lil online research and it was happing to the iPhone. So I guess bug the hell out of simple mobile.

you might have trouble downloading on wifi or while plugged in to pc.
Turn off your wifi when you send and receive a picture message
Did you happen to mess with the build.prop file at all?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
No I did not mess with the build. But my wifi is always on but is never connected. So say I have to leave it off at all times? Many thanks for the reply.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
No, you should be able to leave it on. I have mine on right now as I'm typing this and I've an mms..
I assume you have restarted you phone multiple times. Have you been able to send/receive photos before?

Before I can send no problem. Receiving is a hit or miss. Now all I getting is download fail.
Rom is ultimate 1.0

I was going to say, I can never send MMS messages while on wifi calling, I have to turn it off, but if you aren't using wifi calling, must be something else!

I have noticed that the hotspot in the N5 is not working like in my Gnex, I tried putting it in 3G and I still get the Tmobile webpage that my plan does not include this service. I use ultimate user switcher on chrome to hide that I am using a PC and even with that, it gets detected. Maybe it's Kitkat that is sending the report that I am using hotspot and Tmobile always knows when is active...
If anyone has this issue, let me know to see if I am the only one.

Hello. I recently moved from the iOS platform onto the Android platform because I believe it provides a lot more freedom than Apple will ever allow. I used an app on my iPhone for a very long time called CoverMe, which is basically a texting/vault application that is encrypted and secure. The older I get, the less I trust those harvesting my data. I downloaded the app onto my new HTC One M8, but unfortunately it does not work. I open it and it immediately crashes, asking me if I want to report the crash to Google. It does work, however, when I am connected to WiFi. I emailed the developers about a month ago, but have received no solution. I'm not sure if anyone on these forums will be able to help, but it's worth a try. If attaching the logs/crash reports will help someone fix my issue, I can attach them.
Does anyone else have this problem with CoverMe, specifically on the HTC One M8? If you've come up with a solution, please let me know.
Thank you.

Just tried it and it crashed. You may want to email the app author.

I've emailed them on multiple occasions. A new update was just released today and I was hoping for a fix, but unfortunately it's still producing the same result. I'm going to attach the new logs in an email to them and hopefully that will help more.

I just launched the app in WiFi and it went through set up and everything. Try WiFi instead of using your cell connections.

I wrote about both of your suggestions in my first post, which you apparently did not care to read. I do not have WiFi at my house and therefore cannot use it on a consistent basis. Thank you for your comments.

If you want to get snippy, that's fine. But your original post only says it works on WiFi and never indicated you tried it on a cell connection. I was just telling you I got it to work.
Surely you visit a McDonald's that has free WiFi. Start the app there otherwise just deal without it. You don't have to be on WiFi all the time, just to connect to the app to accept the TOS.

I was not getting snippy. I thought it would be implied I tried it on my cell connection, as I wouldn't attempt to try it with no connection at all, and WiFi is the only other option. I used WiFi to accept the TOS and create my account a while ago, but it still crashes regardless when I open it and enter my password on my 4g connection.

I've been using the app you suggested for a little while now and it actually works pretty well. The only issue is that it unfortunately does not have an iPhone counterpart. That's okay, it will suffice until CoverMe comes out with a fix. Thank you for your suggestion.

Yeah! Try it only for installation and to set it up. Once installed properly, I think that will work fine after will cell connection.

(As I previously said) It still crashes while using my cell connection, even after I made my account.

I was wondering if there was a way to add this functionality to the nexus 5, I figure if one of the other crummy phones that Tmobile said its enabled on then the glorious master race of nexuses can surely run it all I'll need is some sort of mod to add the functionality
Any thoughts?
I don't think you need a modification to do it. It needs the network to have it.
I'm not sure of any of the networks have volte working yet. That's why the N5 drops to 3G for calls.
Edit: After some reading it appears you'd also need an update from the carrier. T-Mobile just turned theirs on in Seattle.
