Does anyone know how to check/edit APN setting on the nexus 5 for Sprint? Hangouts can't send MMS over WiFi with whatever the defaults are set to but I can't find how to see or edit APNs on here
Edit: OK I found the settings and they are correct for sprint...so I'm not sure why hangouts has trouble sending MMS, maybe its just crap
You need cell data to send MMS and SMS, can not send over wifi with Sprint.

Incorrect, Sprint allows sending MMS over WiFi and has for years. Usually s5ock apps work just fine and a few third party apps have got it right, for some reason hangouts will only work a few times at random...even over cell data hangouts seems to be a mess.
Apps that can send MMS over WiFi on Sprint:
Stock sms apps on Sprint devices
8sms
Hangouts (sometimes)
Apps that temporarily switch on cell data to send:
Sliding messaging
Textra
Not tested by me:
Gosms
Handsent
Stock AOSP sms app
To send over WiFi the following must be used:
mmsc: http://mms.sprintpcs.con
Proxy: 68.28.31.7
Port: 80

How were you able to find the settings? Can you post the steps here? Thanks.
I'm having issues sending MMS messages on my GS5. I contacted Sprint support and they really aren't much help so I just wanted to see if anyone else was having issues?
The Sprint rep had me dial ##72786# which sent it into the hands-free activation mode again, but they ultimately weren't able to fix anything.

Check in /system/etc if apns-conf.xml exists. If not, there's your problem. But I need more info to assist here, do you still have data/LTE, phone signal, none at all, are you using third party messaging app?
Okay, network connectivity exists. Normal text messages send fine with no issues and I can actually receive MMS messages. I'm using the stock messaging application because I was having issues receiving MMS via the Hangouts app when I let it handle my text messaging.
The file you requested was there...my post count isn't high enough to post the screenshot of it. I'm not currently rooted.

Try using 8sms.... It allows you to send MMS over WiFi (you can turn OFF mobile data, and still be able to send MMS as long as you have a WiFi connection). Sprint supports MMS over WiFi and is one of VERY few carriers in the world that support it, so try out 8sms

Can you receive MMS in stock messages app? Is it just Hangouts?
I can receive messages in all apps, Hangouts and the stock app. It just seemed to have issues sending MMS within any app that I have tried so far. Currently using the stock app.
I can give 8SMS a try.
I had an issue the other day sending texts. I went into application manager and deleted cache and data for the MMS program and it's worked fine since.

Agreed, try first clear cache/data for sms stock app (do not open), go update prl/profile, reboot. Them open app and see if works. If so, profit. If not and you have time, redo ROM flash of stock or what you're on. I'd say try my APN flash zip in Android development to see but that is at your own risk and, if something broke (highly unlikely though) you'd need to Reflash stock ROM to reset all. All this worth a try.

I had this issue when my phone was new. Did the activation thing and a PRL update, which fixed it for me.
Sent from my SM-G900P using XDA Free mobile app
My G920T cannot send MMS picture messages or receive them using stock messaging. Textra works fine, but not the case with the stock. Any suggestions?
Using Chomp sms and cant send photos. These are my settings.
Are these settings correct?
Ok, so I dowloaded Textra & SMS messages from petal search. Both apps work perfect with SMS, but when you try sending MMS it fails. I tried manually setting MMS in textra but still did not work. Anyone experience this? or know how to fix? Thanks
