MMS over WiFi?

I'm wondering if this is a problem across the board. Lately in have been running a few different ROMs. Hyperdrive, moar and the most recent moar 5.0.1. I have noticed that my MMS won't go through while I am on WiFi. I don't know if this has been a problem for a while and I haven't noticed it. I really like the app textra, and unjust started using it the other day. I thought that was the issue. Uninstalled it and I am still having the problem.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

I really hope someone has a cure for this because it has been driving me insane. I shouldn't have to turn off wifi every time I want to send an mms to someone!
I'm on MOAR 5.0 v13

I'm thinking it's a rom issue because I just wiped my phone and installed cyanogenmod and I can send and receive mms messages over wifi without any trouble

are u using a network extender by chance when your on WiFi?

I always thought it was a network thing. I thought they required you to send and receive MMS through the cell towers because they're stored at Verizon servers before being passed along to the recipient. I had the same issue on my LG Ally, haven't tried MMS over WiFi on my gs3, but now I'm curious.

No, I'm not using a network extender. Interesting thing tho. MMS will not go thru at all on MOAR or Hyperdrive. I flashed bonestock 3.1 and when I send an MMS over wifi, the 4G turns on (so now the wifi icon and 4G are on) and it will send the MMS.......hmmmmmm

MMS / SMS are both sent over data networks, as this is the only way VZW can count how many you send, thus being able to bill those who do not have unlimited text messages. (this came from a VZW rep when i called in to get a work order on my phone, as mine wouldn't work)
When the S3 first came out, there was an issue with the devices as a whole, fully stock and unrooted, having problems sending text messages when the phone was on WIFI. The process is, when you hit send, it will shut off your WIFI, switch to data, send message, and then switch back to WIFI without you noticing it.
however, in the beginning, there was an issue with the phone doing this. AND this was even before rooting the phone. VZW and Samsung had to do a fix for their radios to get the phone to work correctly.
so what you are probably seeing, is an issue with that switching, not that the message won't go over WIFI, cuz unless these DEVs have figured out how to make messages go over internet instead of data network, then the issue is a ROM issue with the switch.
hope that makes sense...

Unfortunately, this is the answer that is most often given, but not very helpful (no offense). I think the majority of people with the issue at this point understand that MMS is sent via data networks by design, the problem is, it is not functioning properly. It is NOT shutting off the WiFi, therefore it is not sending at all. I've had different periods of success, where it'll work for a week, then back to the same ****. I've never rooted my phone, so it's a stock ROM issue that still remains.

always had issues sending MMS messages on roms other than stock when I was at home with my network extender...I kept messing with the APN settings last night... I changed the other thing to GSM and tried to connect to at & t towers.. after it failed only then it would have multiple choices of APN settings ..I have all the roaming options checked and the LTE/CDMA is checked...I've been able to send MMS messages with no problem now.

Just an update I'm on liquid smooth 4.2.2 and it automatically turns network data on if I have it off in order to receive/send mms. This is what I was looking for.

[Q] No data on straight talk

I tried all the setting I found online, still no data.
Got the new sim card yesterday - blue - tf64psimc4mb ($7)
Calling & texting works.
also not receiving mms

my issue is that I am using newer att sim and suddenly my speeds used to be LTE but more often than not are now indicating H or H+ and signal is weaker. started right before Thanksgiving thereabouts. I haven't even come close to the the 2.5 GB cap either.

How I fixed it..
Called straight talk, guy had me setup new apn again (same thing).
still didnt work. Then he did something (not sure what)
then he said turn off (not just restart) and turn back on.
Then it worked.
Hope this helps someone.

still can't receive mms

Try these apn settings: http://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus5/comments/1qe6jm/working_apn_settings_for_receiving_mms_on/
I had MMS issues, mainly sending and these seemed to have helped.

Last call for help.

This will be the umpteenth request for help I've made.
I'm going to be as brief but detailed as possible.
Sch-I535.
Using GSM band with Straight Talk AT&T.
Stock roms works fine. Custom stock also.
AOSP/AOKP/CM roms flash fine and work fine but won't let me send sms.
I can receive sms fine.
Calls, data and mms work fine.
APN settings are fine.
Signal is fine.
I ALWAYS clean flash.
Using latest CWM touch.
Tried with recommended gapps and no gapps. No luck. I've odinned back to stock, rerooted and reflashed. No luck.
Tried battery pull, fix permissions, factory reset and reboot. No luck.
I'm at my wits end and I abhor the thought of remaining tethered to stock roms or their custom counterparts.
I am BEGGING for help.
If you need any more info please ask.

Have you tried 3rd party texting apps like go out handcent? And are you using hangouts or stock sms. What about uninstalling sms app and reinstalling stock or custom one from the theme section. That's all the help I can offer. Not too knowledgeable on all this but they may be solutions if you didn't already try them
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

Tried Go sms and hangouts. Tried uninstalling.

I've never encountered that. Did you try searching the forum or maybe a Google search? And when did it start, and for how long? Also which versions of aosp/cm have you flashed
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

Tried searching. This is my 5th thread I think. This started when I flashed PAC Man rom. I've tried PAC Man, Slim Bean, CM 10.2 and 11. No cigar.

You really shouldn't create new threads. I know it sucks when you don't get very many responses but the Moderators would rather u bump your original thread than create a new thread as that just gives them more threads to clean up. With that said I am gonna take a look at your log. I want to help u since I know you have had this issue a while :/

The SMS rils are trying to send as CDMA, not GSM. This kind of info would have been helpful in the dev threads you were posting about roms not working.
Was this a Verizon phone you brought to StraightTalk or did you get this phone intended/coded for StraighTalk? And yes, that matters, especially with non-stock roms.

It's verizon phone I brought to straight talk

I'd have to dig into the stock rom to see what's different that allows you to use GSM for calls; obviously, the stock rom allows for a GSM switchover.
Here's the issue: 99% of the people downloading the Verizon S3 roms are on Verizon and therefore on CDMA/LTE. The only way to get your phone to work properly with these roms is to get a developer to modify the RILs to allow a GSM device to work with the rom. That's going to be a tough sell, since they have little incentive to do so, unless they also have a GSM S3. You can PM/talk to some devs and see if they can help, but many don't know how to code RILs, which is why they're using the CM repo... it's far more technical than just compiling a rom (I speak from experience with the old Droid 2 Global that had a GSM switch).
Hope that helps.

I still don't understand how I can receive SMS but can't send. Calls work fine and MMS does too. Wouldn't those be messed us if what your saying is true?

Possibly. The issue lies with 'ImsSms'; it's set to CDMA for sending, rather than GSM. That could be something in the rom with the network settings applying to all but the SMS settings, or it could be related to the RIL and how its coded.
I haven't seen any other GSM users post about their experiences with these roms, so I don't have much data to go off. I assume you've fiddled with the 'Preferred Network Type' and set it to 'Global' (in Gummy)? In Other roms, it's choosing the LTE/GSM/CDMA choice. That would activate GSM if it were available to the phone, whereas if I choose that on the Verizon network, it kills my connection.

I tried that but it might not hurt to fiddle with it again. I'll try and report back. Bring another logcat with me.

That's actually not weird at all if you have a data connection.
On Verizon CDMA, sms goes out over the 1xRTT frequency, but mms goes out over EvDO or LTE; on GSM, sms goes out on the GSM frequency, but mms goes out on the HSPA+ or LTE.
Now, if you don't have a mobile data connection, there's something seriously wonked.

Ah okay. Well I still cannot send SMS. I played with the preferred network settings but nothing changes. Any suggestions? Isn't there a jar file that controls sending through gsm and CDMA? Couldn't I delete the CDMA jar file and the gsm take over? Is that dumb? Lol
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

I don't know if it's that simple. I don't think deleting the CDMA jar will do anything other than prevent you from using CDMA. Have you seen this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069850

lol right? It probably works, though. Here's another thread that *may* work and seems more simplified and I'm guessing is more like what you initially did: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31095006&postcount=106
So the question is: What's different in 4.4 roms from stock that makes it so hard to connect to gsm....?
Hey, so have you tried flashing a 4.4 rom built for an AT&T device? If you need GSM, those builds will have GSM device files and since they have the same hardware, that *might* actually work.

Traveling to Europe and Wifi calling options?

All,
Going to be traveling to Europe at the end of August. Yes I know I can pay $10 to unlock my phone, which I am planning to do also, but would like to know what options are out there that would allow me to use Wifi calling ie Tmobile Wifi calling solution for the At&t LG G3? I would like the option to fwd my calls to the Wifi Calling number and be able to dial back to the states via Wifi.
Any good solutions out there?
Thanks!

Now? Hangouts. Enjoy

Issues with MMS

Recently went to a CM12 build and even with CM11 I had the same issue. I am using ATT for my OPO and I can not send picture mails (mms) out of my messaging app. I changed to hangouts, and it sends out fine. Any one know why this is going on?
Thanks in advanced

Here they are, thank you so much for the reply

I'm on Rogers in Canada, in my case there's multiple APN on my Sim card..
I have an LTE APN and another APN for 3G I think. Everything else is the same within each APN, just the first couple lines are different. MMS doesn't work for me with the LTE APN but it works great with the 3G APN for some reason
Maybe your situation is similar?
I attached my APN list
In hangouts you're able to specify which APN you want to use, so I use LTE APN for my phone while I chose 3G APN for hangouts. The new Google messenger app doesn't allow for this unfortunately..

That looks like the same one I am using. Did you have an LTE phone before this one on AT&T? Have you tried changing to one of the other AT&T APN settings seeing if it works or not then changing back?

What i ended up doing is getting off a daily cm12 build, and went to blissrom, solved all my issues. No idea why though.... using the same messaging app T_T
<3 thanks though

I have had similar results with different ROMs. Sometimes messenger app works fine with MMS and other times I have to use Hangouts. I also see this happening when people send MMS from iOS to me.
