Am I the only one that can not send/receive attachments while on wifi? Whenever I attempt it just hangs, regardless of what modem I flash, I am forced to resend/re-download after I reconnect to data. I'm currently on anton's 1.1.0 ROM(with the kernel he included)

With how MMS works you have to be on mobile data to download them. I have never been able to download a mms while on just wifi.
Is it possible to download MMS when mobile data is off and Wi-Fi is on? Everything I've read says not possible, is it a greedy carrier thing to use mobile data? Manufacturer? Android? I could have sworn I used to do it fine on HTC phones or Motorola's. I don't get any notifications about MMS of Wi-Fi is the only one turned on. Can we change it with a different ROM?

No it's strictly data. Think of it this way, texts are sent through your data signal and service so in order to receive that picture you download it through your data which uses that signal to retrieve it. Idk if I make sense but this is what I've been told.

Hmmm thanks. I wonder why i don't get notifications for it though

Try using the "textplus" app in playstore. You can send mms/text and even call voip via wifi connection.

The Verizon Message App didn't fix the phone to allow you to download pictures sent via text over wifi... Still have to turn off Wifi and turn on Mobile Data in order to get the pictures. I think this sucks as I just switched to Verizon from Sprint less than a week ago and with Sprint you could get those pictures on wifi or mobile data. Its just a ploy to make you use more data and there has to be a way around it as it is Carrier Specific and NOT Phone Specific...
I use the vzw msg app with avail data, and the textplus app via wifi. Working for me so far.

Doesn't appear to be as you describe it -- I've been struggling to get MMS picture messages through (from my Galaxy Nexus / toro / VzW) when the phone is also connected to WiFi. Digging pretty deep into the issue (a few people still working on it), it appears to actually be a bug (google this for a lot of eye-burning reading ). Anyway - taking a break from the detective work trying to figure out how to make it work, I installed Verizon Messaging on both my Galaxy Nexus and my Nexus 10, which - as you can imagine - has NO cellular connection. I'm also in my home office at the moment, in a finished basement with incredibly poor VzW network connectivity. After failing at being able to send/receive a picture MMS for the last few hours, installing Verizon Messaging seems to have done the trick: I can now easily send / receive picture MMS from the phone while it's connected to WiFi with barely any usable VzW network signal.

As long as both are on it will work. MMS goes through a Verizon data only server. That it what the problem is.
personaly, i don't get it. how hard would it be to have a 3rd party intercept an MMS and send the attactment via email thereby sending it via WIFI?
Hey all,
Is there a way to setup my phone to use the at&t data for sending and receiving MMS only? I have a hotspot that I carry around so I don't need the data on the phone for anything else. I tried setting APN type to MMS only. But still getting hangout messages that aren't text related when WiFi off and only phone data .

I just got the N5 for T-Mobile. I am having issues trying to send MMS (pictures or group texts). Data is enabled as well as Wifi. This setting the mms just hangs and never goes through. I have to turn wifi off in order for it to go through. This doesn't seem ideal as it should be able to switch automatically.
Is there a solution?
You can try 8sms. It worked for me
You try fixing your APN settings?
