[Q] Can't Send Picture Messages - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5

As the title says, I can't send picture messages. I can receive them fine but once I try to send one it seems like my network locks up because I can't even send a simple text message for the 5-10 minutes the device is trying to send the picture and then inevitably gives up. Called T-Mobile the other day and they said they were having "network issues" but I was wondering if anyone else has this issue or has a solution.
Thanks in advanced.

i am also having MMS issues sending pics but also have problems with group texts. They arrive in a individual text and have to hit download and usually fail.

Having same mms issues on my tmobile note 5. Takes forever to send and usually fail. Hitting send then restarting the phone usually helps.

Could be a network issue too

I was gonna ask that too. Anyone have mms apn for me? Thanks. People trying to send me pictures but I can't get them

I know the t mobile version has can be rooted, but if any of you are using ad block plus, that could be your problem.
I couldn't send pics on mine using ABP until I added verizon's mms url to the exclusion list.

I have Verizon, not sure how my apn settings would help you. All I'm saying is if any of you with mms issues are using ad block plus, start there.

i factory wiped my device and it has been working since,
i also called customer service for Tmobile and they did something with the sim card to their network,
im assuming one of the two had to have fixed it

Default ATT APN?

Anyone know what it is? I had mine set to Tmobile now I have no idea how to change it back (I think I've discovered a problem with MMS not sending when it's set on Tmobile APN... Just have to change it back to verify this).
I turned off boot emulation and it restored it after a reboot.
For other people, the default ATT APN is 310410.
I'd highly not recommend using Market Access to emulate it on boot.
Seems to have prevented some emails (data) from sending, as well as not allowing my MMS to send (but oddly enough... browsing and stuff still worked- which is why it took me so long to figure it out because it appeared data was working).

That is not the APN, that is the SIM card number.
The APN is how the network connects:

310410 is AT&T network id.
Captivate also suffers from MMS problem if your phone is using 2G/EDGE.

I did not know about the MMS problem but being on 3G it works fine. What the heck...
Thanks for the info nbs11.
That saved me a lot of time.
Peace
What problem does it have with mms in 2g? Mine works just fine.
Sent from my Captivate using XDA-APP
Doesn't really matterrs any more. JH7 update fixed it.
It won't send MMS on EDGE when picture size > 100KB.

No MMS no matter what ROM/KERNEL/firmware etc...

Like the title says, since the second ROM I ever installed, (CM7 alpha 10 I believe) I have not been able to send/receive MMS on any combo of software , ICS or GB, kernel , etc. I have verified the APN's, still nothing... my plan allows unlimited, so unfortunate that I can't use it...Any ideas are welcome

I have the same problem with MMS as well.
I opened a topic in Q/A section but no one replied...
Im on energy ics rom and its my first custom rom setted mms apns for rogers correctly couldn't send pics didn't try receiving tho...

I don't know if this helps or not, but It seems like people with American Carriers, or T-mobile tend to not have issues with MMS. I don't know if this would work, but maybe comparing APN settings and seeing if anything is missing may work?
Settings -> More.. -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names ->
at this point I had three or three options...
I assume they were: T-Mobile, T-Mobile Data, and T-Mobile MMS
Now since I use Simple Mobile, I had to change the T-Mobile to Simple Mobile with all the correct settings, and for MMS to work I also had to change the T-Mobile MMS APN with the same exact settings as the Simple Mobile APN.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
One other way you may try, after putting all the correct settings;
Where is says APN Type, write "mms" (without quotes)
Give it a try. Hope it helps.
Problem is, I'm on Bell Canada...

I'm on Wind and I cant neither send nor receive mms but I think my settings are correct since the phone detected it automatically. Any ideas ?
I am with O2 uk and also had this issue. I contacted them and they emailed their latest apn settings to me, which I copied in to my settings and my mms then worked fine. I think when some custom roms search for the apns automatically they pick up out of date settings. Just phone your carrier and ask for the apn settings for mms as if you are getting internet but no mms on several roms it can only be due to incorrect apn.

For those having trouble with Rogers, I wasted quite a bit of time trying to figure out why I couldn't send/receive MMS. Solution for me was this:
1. USE ONLY THIS APN, DELETE ALL THE OTHER APNS - For some reason, it conflicted and when I deleted all the other unnecessary APN's it worked great again. Here's what I used and ONLY this one for Rogers Canada. The internet.com apn doesn't work for me, fortunately I found this one that works!

Your MMS doesn't work? Maybe this will help...

Hey all,
I've been having this issue with my phone not sending or downloading picture messages. Well, I am using Wind Mobile for demo, but it should work for others (prove me correct, by clicking the "thanks" button):
1. Add internet.windmobile.ca as APN #1
2 APN #2:
Name: Wind CA MMS
APN: mms.windmobile.ca
MMSC: http://mms.windmobile.ca
MMS Proxy: 74.115.197.70
MMS Port: 8080
MCC: 302
MNC: 490
Type: LEAVE THIS BLANK!
The problem with mine was the type was set to mms.
When you're done, make sure that this APN (because my phone only lets me select 1 APN, so select internet when you need internet, and mms when you need mms) is selected when you need to download/send MMS (and maybe a quick airplane mode network refresh). This ain't the prettiest way, but it gets the job done!
Hope this help.
Cheers.
[Props to polkiu over at howardforums for this]
This is actually pretty useful because in some ROMs the APNs are written wrong. For example, on my parent's phone I have to manually edit Straight Talk's T-Mobile APN.

Q MMS messaging and straight talk apn

Has anyone been able to get MMS working with an att straight talk Sim . I have tried many variations of the settings I've used in the past with no luck
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Yes, this is what I have used:
Name: Straight Talk
APN: tfdata
Port: 80
MMSC:http://mms-tf.net
MMS 66.209.11.33
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication type: PAP
APN type: default,supl,mms,hipri
APN protocol: IPv4
APN roaming protocol: IPv4
This works but every now and then it will stop working.. a reboot of the phone and recconection to LTE fixes it every time, so I believe it has more to do with LTE connectivity, then the actual APN settings.
I am using the same APN for the most part but I have only been able to send pics through Hangouts. I tried Textra and GoSMS and neither will send. I used the same settings on my nexus 4 with straight talk and all mms apps worked.

When you say you have been able to send pics through hangouts, do you mean that you are able to send MMS through hangouts, or just a pic to another google user?
I sent pic as a text to my gf. Tried other apps first went back and set hangouts as default and it went through.

So you can receive and sent MMS on the Nexus 5 with those settings without any problems?
Update: with the apn settings I posted, I am now getting uninterrupted lte service and mms send and receive are working flawlessly. My occasional interruptions before were probably due to slow wake up after I was running WiFi.

[Q] MMS issues?

Hey all, Moto G US version owner here, and having trouble getting MMS working on at&t. I spent some time on the phone with them earlier and was more or less told that the phone wouldn't work right on network, or something to that effect. This was frustrating since everything else worked fine, and it is supposedly tailored for US networks after all. So I tried several different APN settings from online but to no avail. I even copied over the APN settings from my unlocked GS3 (which has no problems at all on at&t's network) and it still wouldn't work. I've contacted Moto's customer service as well and they've given me the number for Level 2 support, will be speaking to them soon.
I'm at a loss here.. yes, it is a new device and all, but is anybody else having this problem?
Try Handcent

I was able to sent text messages just fine, but not MMS photos. I installed Handcent and set the photo size to 100k and the messages went through. I'll be calling Tmobile tomorrow to make sure it's not a provisioning issue.

Prepaid? Last I remember prepaid doesn't support 4G devices for data. And MMS uses data, not wifi. And while I'm aware the MotoG can use 3G(I have mine on Verizon)...AT&T tends to lock down their better phones to 4G only to get users on the contract.
I could be mistake and that phone is supported, but I don't believe they run 4G on prepaid/gophone and hence you might not be able to run data.
As of 2012 they had an inner memo to their call centers saying that 4G devices, Rimms, and iPhones wouldn't be supported for Data any further.
Having same problem as original post
I'm having the same problem as original post, except I'm using StraightTalk. My Moto G is the US version - GSM (uses AT&T network). I've set it up to use the APN that StraightTalk provided. Browser works OK, so I know data services are working, but I can't send or receive MMS messages. I've also tried Handcent that was mentioned in this thread, but it still doesn't seem to be sending. I've also tried the AT&T APN settings from this thread, but no go. Not sure what else to do...
