Can the phone send and receive mms and activated mobile data?

Hey gang,
Just a question about send and receive MMS. My old HTC ONE V, when I would send or receive a mms. The phone would automatically turn on my mobile data to do so. I find that with my Nexus 5. I have to turn on my data manually to get or send a picture. Is there a way to set the phone up to do this automatically?

I would try a custom Rom. I know the latest version of task650 unofficial AOKP disables data on Wi-Fi and enables when needed for mms.

[Q] I can receive MMS, but can't send, when on Wifi

Hi all,
My S3 is running Bonestock 3.4 (Android 4.1.2) and I've noticed that, if I am running on wifi (4G data is still on), I can receive MMS messages (e.g., group messages, pictures, videos are sometimes sketchy), but I cannot send any type of MMS message, whether it is a response to a group message or photos/videos. If I turn off wifi and re-send the message, it will go through fine.
FYI - I am using the stock Samsung messaging app, but I had the same issue w/ Hangouts.
It's my understanding that MMS requires mobile data. For what it's worth, when I am on wifi, my mobile data is still turned on. I was wondering if there is some sort of workaround for this, or if it will be necessary for me to disable wifi any time I want to send an MMS message.
As far as workarounds go (and as weird as this may sound), I would prefer not installing a 3rd party messaging app.
Any help that anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Nexus 5 does not auto recieve MMS

Hey!
Yesterday I bought a N5 and today I noticed my friends dont recieve my pictures if I do not turn on my Mobile Data. This isn't really bad..the worst thing is that if I do not have Mobile Data turned on I do not know I even got an MMS.
So I must get my data always on to even know somebody sent me a picture? If there was a way I could at least get a warning that MMS ciuldn't be downloaded because there is no networtk that would be great.
How is everyone else experiencing this?
Oh, and I have Android Lollipop

MMS (pic messages) is data dependent. Even if on WiFi, MMS will use data

You HAVE to have data on to do anything MMS related. Unless you're using an instant message client like WhatsApp you REQUIRE to have data on.

Actually, in part MMS send and receive configuration is dependent on carrier configurations and not only device or ROM settings.
Somehow, I think data switching for MMS is okay when data is off and other times it is broken. Some kind of receiver or meta-info with the mms transmit.
Textra app on playstore used to have "temporarily activate mobile data for mms" in a troubleshooting section. I don't see it in the current new version for Lollipop, maybe soon though.
Some phones and ROMs and carriers will turn data on for mms and not tally against plan data usage limits, so data could otherwise be technically off so zero or very low data plans don't overage.

Is there a way to make the Nexus 5 auto turn on data whenever sending or receiving a mms?
I'm using go sms and there's a setting for that but it doesn't work

[Q] Auto data for mms

I'm using a nexus 5 with lollipop and I'm using go sms pro for my messaging app. I have setting for the data to automatically turn on whenever I send a mms or receive a mms but this setting doesn't seem to work. Does anyone know how to get this work? I have to manually turn on my data whenever I receive or send mms.

I'm using the S7 Edge Exynos, Textra SMS. Rooted.
Thank you!

I do not quite understand, do you want the mobile data to reactivate automatically when you receive the MMS message?

I have the same issue. On my Redmi 3s, the data was automatically switched on / off when sending / receiving MMS (using Textra).
After flashing a custom Nougat rom, i have to manually toggle data
If anyone has a solution or a workaround...
