[Q] Is there a ROM (stock/beta/or other) that has sorta functional MMS for TMobile?

I have tried other apps like Textra, etc, but none of them can handle MMS properly. If I am on WiFi, MMS will never download or send. If I turn off WiFi, I have about a 50% success rate and they usually end up coming in hours later. I have tried different ROMs, different APN settings, different apps. It is a shame that T-Mobile sells this phone with pathetic MMS capabilities on their network. I understand it works fine with other networks, but T-Mobile is atrocious.
So, is there anyone out there using this phone T-Mobile who doesn't want to throw their phone in the ocean when dealing with MMS? I'd be interested to know your setup.
Thanks for your help?

not a single issue with sms or mms here, on tmobile in nyc. do you have the correct apn? or do you have it entered correctly? im using the fast.tmobile.com apn.

Same here no problems with native messaging app and textra

No problem with stock AOSP MMS or Hangouts or 8SMS. I did have trouble with another third party client but I don't remember what it was, think maybe Textra the same one you used.

No problems with MMS although I will admit I had some problems with MMS but that was the app's fault. I had to manually put the MMS because the auto detection wasn't working just yet. I'm using chompSMS. Textra SMS worked fine as well.
Ensure you have the right APN. Also the T-Mobile APN is fast.t-mobile.com the - matters.

No issues with Purity rom and MMS...

Go to Settings>Wireless&Networks>More>Mobile Network>Access Point Names and select T-Mobile. If there isn't one then add one with the name T-Mobile and the address as fast.t-mobile.com should fix your MMS issues

Which APN?

Are you on Android L? Sounds like the same issues I had. I tried all the APN tricks and it still wouldn't work. I would get them occasionally when off Wifi. On stock 4.4.4 I don't normally have issues with MMS.

[Q] Can't download MMS

Hoping someone can help. I have a Nexus 5 on the AT&T network. Been using it without issue since Halloween 2014. All of a sudden, the past couple of days, I'm having some issues with MMS messages. I started a new group message and only one person received it. I haven't been able to text pictures to people. And today I have been receiving notification stating "Can't download MMS - check your APN settings". I can send regular one on one text messages just fine and sometimes group messages do go through. Sometimes not. Pictures don't seem to be going through at all.
Nothing has changed on my phone and I definitely haven't touched the APN settings. I'm using the "phone" APN for AT&T with all of the correct settings founds online.
I had a friend who's using a 2014 Moto X Pure Edition send me his APN (also AT&T) and he has one called "nxtgenphone" but all of the other settings are identical to the "phone" APN. I've tried added a new APN for "nxtgenphone" but when I select it and then reboot, the phone goes back to the "phone" APN automatically.
Anyone know what could be going on? Is it an AT&T issue? My issue? Other? I'm not sure what to do or check at this point.
Again, everything has worked just fine for months. This is a recent issue the past couple of days.
Thanks!

I had a similar issue with Net10. What fixed it for me was moving my active APN to be the first APN.

I just noticed I have the same problem. I am on AT&T with my N5 running 5.1(D) also, my APN it set to ATT Phone, and all settings are confirmed. googled the problem and the "google messenger" app seems to be buggy. It has been updated recently and I think its now more messed up than before...
If on LTE and WIFI I have mms problems
If on LTE, 3g or H only mms goes through!!!
If I use "hangouts" (which I hate becuase if you search for a contact, it puts your google+ contacts up 1st) things seem to work fine in all forms of connection LTE/WIFI/3G/H etc....
So till they fix the "Google Messenger" App, I am forced to use "Hangouts" as it is more reliable for now

I'm on AT&T & the last time I tried the "Google Messenger" App a couple of weeks ago, I had trouble with MMS. I run CM and just went back to the CM messanger, and it was fine. So it seems there is an issue with AT&T & the Google Messenger app that didn't exist before. I wonder if it is specific to the N5 or on other phones.

Well here's another funky thing to add... As stated above I have problems with sending and receiving mms with Google's messenger application at "home" but not with Google's hangout application at "home" where I first noticed the problem. Well while I was at "work" today about 15 miles away from home. I tried Google's messenger application and it worked!!!
So I am now thinking it has something to do with AT&T tower at my home location and Google's messenger application. Since Google's hangout works when I am "home" and away...
Now what???

Another update to my dilemma, when at "home" and I turn my "WIFI" off and restart the phone. Things seem to work, as I look more and more into this problem I am having with sending and receiving mms on AT&T. I am starting to see a pattern that Google's Messenger application may have an issue where it is suppose to "Turn Off" Wifi use cellular data to send and receive the mms and then "Turn On" wifi after it is done with the mms process.... But this does not explain why things work while I am not away from my "Home" location!!!!

Getting to the root of my problem!!!! FIXED!!!!!!
I am starting to think that the MMS problem is not with AT&T and the google messenger app, or 5.1(D), or my APN setting!!!!
But with my wifi router at home!!!
After more reading up on this and also the fact that I have "No" problems sending or receiving MMS while "Away" from home using another WIFI source or with WIFI off. I was starting to think if the problem was "Caused" by my wifi router a linksys wrt54g running dd-wrt??? So what I did was to connect to a Public Wifi I have outside of my house and I was able to send and receive MMS without any problems!!!!
Just recently I had to change a setting on my router to allow my xbox360 to download some content.
That setting was to "Allow - UPnP service" I went back into the router, reversed my settings and rebooted the router, made sure my phone was connected to the "home" wifi and checked my IP address to see if it was connected to my ISP. Attemped to send a MMS and GUESS WHAT!!!! IT WENT TROUGH!!!!! for a short period of time then it stoped again... I went back into the routers setup page and also turned off the STATIC IP I set for the phone, no luck. Then I remembered I have OpenDNS and my router was using the OPENDNS DNS addresses. went to my opendns dashboard and looked at what was blocked by them and found that that MMS proxy site "proxy.mobile.att.net" was "Blocked" by openDNS. So I put that domain in the "Never Block" list and rebooted the router. So far I am able to send and recieve MMS again when I am on my Home network... This still does not explain again why "hangouts" works with all of setting I have chenged before coming to this conclusion. Unless Google Hangouts is not using the APN and uses some other form of traffic to the net???? Also Google's Messenger app is also using DATA via whatever WIFI connection. Thus is my OPENDNS was blocking the proxy it was not going through!!!!
I AM FIXED for now!!!!! :good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good:
So all of you who have problems with Google's Messenger APP sending and/or receiving MMS. Yes check to make sure your APN settings are correct. If your are on WIFI, disconnect WIFI attempt to send and receive a MMS. If it goes through when your WIFI Connection is off, but cannot if your connected to WIFI. Then go into your routers setup page and see if UPnP is "ON" or "OFF". When I turned my "UPnP to OFF" and make sure your phone is not assigned a static
IP.... If your using a OpenDNS filter/Blocker check to see if its not blocking the MMS Proxy!!! Lets hope this is it!!!!

Holy crap, thank you for this!! I've had this issue pop up over the last few days and couldn't for the life of me figure out what was wrong. It seems that un-blocking the proxy did the trick for me, too. I took it one step further, though, and whitelisted the whole att.net domain.
Oddly enough, I noticed that with the domain un-blocked, I could not resolve proxy.mobile.att.net on my desktop. So our phones must know to hand-off to the wireless network if that happens. But with the site "blocked," it WAS being resolved, which is probably what confused the heck out things.
Anyway .. thanks again. Yes, I hit the button.

[Q] Clean install CM12S, Can't send/receive MMS when on Wifi; - T-Mo

After upgrading to CM12S, I cannot send/receive MMS using Hangouts on T-Mo when on Wifi. I know T-Mo doesn't allow it and my APN is all correct.
Last week on CM11S, Hangouts or CM was smart enough to know not to use Wifi when MMS was used. Now I have to manually turn off Wifi to get MMS to work. I'm not using profiles. My home Wifi auto-connects when in range.
I've looked all over setting in CM and Hangouts but cannot find anything to tell MMS not to use Wifi. Anyone know how to make my smartphone smart again?

I reset Google Play Services and problem resolved.

[Q] Issues with Moto XT1045 and AT&T MMS

Hi guys - It seems my XT1045 just does not want to MMS, either send or receive. I have the AT&T Go Phone Service. I took my SIM out and put it in my iPhone 3gs and MMS works just fine. So it is not the service, but I am sure it is the phone.
I couldn't access the APN settings on the iPhone so I am not too sure of what is being used. I had UnLockIt.co.nz do the APN settings a few years ago. But now I cannot access that site anymore. So like I said, I do not know what the APN settings are.
I have tried different apps like the default app, an app called Messengers, and Handcent SMS, the results are all the same. I have also tried the various APNs for AT&T still with no luck. And I do have Data on, WiFi off.
So I raise the question, does anyone here have the XT1045, AT&T GoPhone Service, and capable of sending and receiving MMS?
Everything else works fine. voice, data, standard SMS, but no MMS.
Thanks,
Brian D

[Solved] Issues with Moto XT1045 and AT&T MMS
After much more research, I find that AdBlock Plus (ABP) may be the reason my MMS is not working. Has something to do with affecting Port 80 which is used by MMS to send and receive picture messages. I disabled ABP and it worked but not all the time. More research was needed.
Found that instead of using Port 80, I needed to change to Port 8080. This also worked. Started ABP and tested one more time. This time it worked. Not sure of the relationship of MMS Port 80 and ABP using/blocking Port 80.
The solution to this issue was to change my APN which is the default created either by the XT1045 based off of the network being used, or AT&T generated the APN. Either way, MMS Port should be 8080.

Can't send or receive mms anymore

As the title states I can no longer send or receive mms on att. The only thing I've done is root the phone. I installed Greenify but have since disabled it to make sure that's not the issue. Also I debloated some stuff but did that way before I rooted and way before the mms issue started. I checked my apn settings and nothing seems out of place. I created a new apn and changed the apn protocol from ipv4/ipv6 to just ipv4 per an older thread I found.
When I reboot the phone, all all of the mms will come through and I'm able to send them as well for just a few minutes and then the problem shows again. It doesn't matter which texting app I use either. Tried stock, Textra and handcent. All unique error messages of course but same issue.
Anyone else? Can't find anything similar.

Did you turn on your data?

Yes, data works fine.

Are you running AdBlock? If so, it's blocking ads and your MMS pictures on port 80. Switch your APN settings to MMS port 8080, and your MMS should work again. Had the same issue and took me a few hours to figure it out.
