Can't Send MMS, but can recieve them - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Galaxy S4 SGH-I337 AT&T model.
As the title suggests, I can recieve picture messages, but I can't SEND them.
I'm on Straight Talk. Yes I have the correct APN (since I can recieve them and have all other data functions),and I've cleared my cache (brand new phone,so wouldn't have made a difference but I did it anyway).
I do have it rooted, and am thinking of going to CyanogneMod, since I had it on my S3 and rather enjoyed the simplicity of almost pure Android.
Also, turning off the wi-fi and trying to send over 3g/4g isn't working
Any ideas of what it could be and how I could fix it?
EDIT: I just realized this is the wrong thread. I apologize. If a mod could come close this, I will be posting it in the ATT S4 troubleshooting section. thanks!

[Q] Samsung Epic on Boost Mobile MMS problems

First of all I am brand new here so I apologize for any ignorance I may have here! I tried searching the forums for an answer to this so if this was already addressed I apologize. I have an Epic that was recently flashed to boost and having issues with sending and receiving mms messages. It always says that it failed. I went in and changed the url to mm.myboostmobile.com and changed the proxys to 0 or 0's and it still isn't working. This is occurring on both of my epics. I know it can be done because there are corner stores by me that have it functioning perfectly. The reason I changed the proxys to 0's is because that is what I did for my Samsung Transforms and it worked great (until I allowed the system update). Does anyone have any suggestions?
Best bet would be to go to the development forums and find the thread there and PM someone who has it working.
have you figured it out I have the same problem
I suggest going to the thread called Epic on boost, MMS working.. and read it.. it tells you exactly how to make it work. Its in development. May I also suggest searching?
I am going through the exact same thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im glad im not the only one I was able to recieve and send jsut fine but now I can only recieve only on wifi or 4g, im on boost running 2.2 ec05 stock rooted, you might be sprint but I know all my proxy information is put in correctly because it was working before,I cannot send out and also my prl does not update and prl I was thinking about odin'ning down to 2.1 to see if that fixes my issue, while on 3g I just get download unsuccessful and when trying to send message just sits there and then after 20 min red x in handcent, I still have stock messaging

[Q] Samsung galaxy s4 sgh-1337 will not receive mms or group texts

I am in need of some serious help, I purchased an s4 on craigslist from an AT&T customer. I verified the phone at the store, and it was an active AT&T phone when I bought it. I then transferred my phone number to a new Straight Talk Sim, and put the sim in the galaxy . I set the APN settings to the support reps recommendation, and everything worked besides receiving group texts and receiving mms. I thought it was the APN settings, so I tried every setting I could find recommended on this, and other forums. None of them worked. The solutions I was able to find included rooting my phone, which I don't have time to do. Since I was unable to use the phone how I needed without mms, I gave up with straight talk and ported my number to a AT&T LTE gophone account. I figured that straight talk was the problem, so I was excited to transfer. Well, after porting today, I have faster Internet, but mms and group texts(incoming of both) don't work. I can send mms, but cannot receive it, and I can send group texts, but not receive them. I am using the default att settings that came which the phone as instructed by the rep. In the AT&T store today. If anyone can please assist me in figuring out why this is happening, and what can fix it, I would be greatly appreciative. I did a search for the APN issue before posting this, but what I found was related to getting it to work with straight talk. I just want it to work with ATT now. Thank you in advance for any help..
Is your mobile data turned on while you try to download it? It may seem silly but I didn't realize it had to be on before ;P
Data is on
Data is on, and the outgoing mms and group texting works. On two carriers now, the incoming mms and group texting does not work. Really need a solution for this if anyone can help.

go to settings>options>mobile network and make sure that "data services" is turned on then send an mms to yourself and see if that activates it.
Data is on. Something with the phone is going on.....
To my understanding, this has got to be a phone issue. The data has been turned on . The outgoing mms is working. The outgoing group text is working. I have been on two different sims with different carriers, and still have the same issue......

I'm having similar troubles:
I CAN send mms,
but I can NOT receive images [although I did when I first set up the phone a few weeks ago, it was automatic image retrieval]
NOW when receiving a mms, a white download button (within a yellow box that gives me the message size + expire info) does not work. I tap "download", and it shows it's trying, but then I keep getting error messages that the download failed.
For purpose of testing the DATA feature of my service & phone I turn off the Wi-Fi.
I'm able to access the internet via data.
I'm able to make calls
I'm able to send texts
I'm able to send mms
However, my phone can NOT retrieve mms sent to me
I've tested repeatedly sending mms to myself. I can send - NOT receive.
Error message: "Message not downloaded - Review message and try again"
I try again, and then the next error message is: "Message download failed"
I don't understand that it worked before seamlessly for a week (after changing APN settings 1x after initial set up of service) and now I can only send, but not receive!?!
I have a factory unlocked AT&T Samsung S4
Using NET10 service with Net10's AT&T Sim Card.
I actually just got off the phone with Net10's Tech Support. Was on the phone over an hour with Service Tech Rep. He was very kind and patient. I had the correct APN settings. We changed some to test = to no avail. Upon my request he gave me different APN settings to try, beyond those that should work for this phone, in case it would work. He stayed with me on the phone while I performed a "Backup & Reset" and then gave me the settings that should apply to my phone. Still the same problems. He concludes that the issue is with my phone.
We do have a local AT&T store. Is there any reset or other options I could request they please do for me????
Thank you in advance for any ideas, guidance that may help!!
PS: My current APN settings from Net10:
Apn name-NET10
Apn- tfdata
MMSC-http : / / mms-tf dot net
Mms proxy-mms3.tracfone dot com
Mms port-80
Fix?
Did you ever figure this out? I have searched high and low and have exactly the same problem, everything works except RECEIVING MMS. I'm on Straight Talk. Please, please, please help!
Why not just Odin the phone to 100% stock. Solution done.

MMS?
Not sure what that means, but if it will work, please explain. I can root. :good:
did you had an iphone before? make sure to turn/sign off imessage in your previous idevice. IT happened to me as well. ITs one of the damn apply/imessage glitch because when you activated imessage it added your number to their cloud server.
Are you back on straight talk or on att? What messaging app are you using?

I had the same issue.. just figured it out. What u need to do is go to your main messaging screen... press the pop up menu click settings... scroll down to auto receive MMS. check the box and that should fix it

I can recieve Pictures, but can't send them

I have a Galaxy S4 on At&T SGH-I337
I'm currently rooted, running the stock Touchwiz UI on android 4.2.2.
As the title suggests, I can receive pictures, but I can't SEND them. I have gotten a picture of my girlfriend's cat,and my step-dad's car, but can't send anything to either, even if I'm just forwarding their picture back to them, or saving it and resending.
I've attempted:
Sending with Wi-Fi turned off
Checking my APN settings (they're all correct, as I have mobile data, and can still receive)
Rebooting
Rooting
Had the problem on my S3, And my mom is now having the same issue on hers, however, my step-dad is running an S3 on CyanogenMod 10.3(?) (The latest version for the S3) with no issues at all.
I have the AT&T branded model, again, however, I'm running on Straight Talk carrier, with the unlimited everything plan, which includes picture messaging.
Any ideas what it could be and how to fix it?
Also, I have an open thread (same problem as here) in the wrong sub-forum. If a mod sees this before the edit on that one, could you go close it for me? Thanks!

have you checked to see if there are any newer apns or an mms apn you need to add?

Cricket S4 MMS help

Just about a week ago, a friend asked me to get cyanogenmod going on his Cricket Galaxy S4. I loaded the latest SNAPSHOT at the time (M7), and everything seemed to work okay as he had service, data, text, calls, whatnot. Only thing that isn't working right now is MMS. An update to a more recent nightly didn't help, an update to the latest SNAPSHOT didn't help. We've tried editing the APN, adding a fresh new APN for Cricket, but nothing seems to work. When attempting to send a picture message, the SMS application just shows "Sending" but never sends anything. Switching to Hangouts doesn't do any good either. I'm trying to fix this problem before deciding the phone goes back to stock touchwiz. Does anybody here have any idea what's going on here and how to fix it, if there is a fix at all? Again, it's a Samsung Galaxy S4 from Cricket Wireless.

Same phone, same carrier, same issue. Unfortunately these are known issues with running CM on the S4.
I was running SM for quite a while in hopes this would get resolved but it has been quite a while and there does not seem to be any progress on it.
I reflashed mine back to stock to restore MMS functionality.
There were a couple other issues too. It has been quite a while but I know one of them was I would never get 4G service, only 3G.

[Q] L720 Unlocked with T-mobile rom, but text sometimes take long

So I unlocked my S4 L720 by Using this ==== > " http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2703955 " I am using it for T-mobile. Once it was unlocked i flashed back to NAE I have signal I have 4G/H+, but kept having issues with different roms. On every rom I have used either from sprint s4 or tmobile s4, 2 out of every 10 text that I send say fail, then I click resend and it says sending. Also I sometimes wouldn't be able to make a phone call, as if their wasnt service, but i could clearly see full bars and H+ signal. Finally after about a minute or so it'll send. With every sprint rom I had the S4 didn't receive mms, but I could send them. Then with some tmobile roms when i would make a call it wouldn't be able to hang up, but I would be able to send/receive mms. I re-did the whole unlock process 3 times and still the samething. Anyone else had this problem? I have honestly tried about 10 different roms from sprint/tmobile. Im currently about to try a stock tmobile base rom DEODEX see if that'll help. Im not exactly a noob, but im also not smart developer. Any help would be appreciated thanks everyone!
Sounds like an APN issue. What APN settings have you been using?
