I am on T Mobile and I have had issues receiving MMS messengers while on WIFI. Does anyone have a fix for this? I read previously that there was an APN setting to change but I am not sure. Thanks in advance! Also, this is using Android Messages (Stock APP).
Haven't changed anything and it's working on my end..also on T-Mobile...

I had the same issue and I am on TMobile also. If WiFi was on, I could not send nor receive MMS. I fixed it with this: https://support.t-mobile.com/thread/61843
---------- Post added at 09:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 PM ----------
Once I made the changes I was able to send MMS and receive them
I'm also on T-Mobile and was not receiving mms when on Wi-Fi, but receiving them fine. The problem was fixed when I turned off Wi-Fi calling. Hope that fixes your issue also.
I agree the problem is fixed by turning off WiFi calling, but WiFi calling is something I want to keep on

Okay so I noticed wifi calling wasn't on for me when it was working. I went and checked my APN settings and they were wrong. I corrected them using the settings in the link a few posts up and now it works with wifi calling on for me

I am glad it worked for you.
I also used the above fix, it seems to be working as well. Thanks
I have bookmarked that TMO page. Just a FYI, my pixel unlocked and unbranded does not have this problem
I am going to run by t-mobile today, I'm trying to gauge my signal with my wife iPhone today to see if it's the same.

As with the MMS on Wifi .. the APN that the Essential pulls is not complete .. NONE of the 4 it pulls. I would go in and edit yours. The MMS while on wifi regardless of wifi calling on or off .. should be fixed with the proper APN. Remember that you should reboot after changing the APN. My wife's was having an issue with MMS and weird signal issues. I fixed her up with a proper APN. It's a pitfall of a non-carrier phone. My U11 suffered the same issues. Anyway. Give a proper APN a shot.
I did this but am still having reception issues as well as MMS issues
To clarify if you make this chnage to get it to work, you need "Cellular" checked under Wifi Calling. If you have WiFi calls as preferred it still does not work. These changes and that setting allow the phone to jump back and forth when needed, correct?

I don't think MMS works over Wifi, though.

Sure it does. I just sent a gif from Gboard and a photo from my gallery to the wife and she's got an Essential on TMO. It works fine.
Again, a proper APN will make all this work properly.
What have those of you on Verizon been doing?
Hello - I saw this post while looking for an MMS solution for my PH-1 on AT&T. I have had Verizon, Sprint, Google Fi, and AT&T on this phone, and the only one that I could send/receive SMS/MMS was on Verizon while on my work network's WiFi. I work in a school building behind three layers of cinder block walls, and I have to have a way for this to work. I could go back to VZW, but I'm trying to avoid their high and not-unlimited Unlimited plans' rates. Can you direct me to the correct APN settings for AT&T? Thanks!

I've followed multiple APN guides including the one in the Solavei forums for Android phones and the one posted in here a little ways back (listed as SOLVED). I can receive MMS but still can't send them out. Just hangs on "sending". I've used the stock version of Androind, PA and CM and no luck Anyone still in this situation or have any ideas on what to do? Thanks.
Try with/without a subject. When it's stuck on sending, tap and hold and then do edit then send it right away again. Watch the signal bars to see if they show activity as well.
make sure whatever number your sending it to, you include the area code. for some reason that's how I have to do it on straight talk, but it didn't matter on T-Mobile prepaid

Figured that's standard everywhere now?
I'm the one that posted it solved. I just tried mine again and it still works. Do you have a Hspa or 3g connection? What is the file size you are trying to send?

do you have a problem with your nexus 4 double dialing when you make a call? like it calls and hangs up real quick and then dials the number again!
if not can you please post your APN settings

It's a photo from the gallery, looks like it's being compressed down to less than 1 MB for MMS purposes when sending.

You mean with an active wi-fi connection or with wi-fi turned on at all? I'll try turning wi-fi off entirely and see what happens.
Turning off wifi worked...that's annoying. Thanks for the tip.

Make sure your APN says MMS in it or it'll try sending MMSes over WIFI because that's the active connection. With MMS in the APN Type, it knows to use that data connection for MMS.
Edit: Oops, incorrect forum. Mods, please move if this is an issue. (Meant to be in OP6T)
Anyone else completely reliant on WiFi calling at home (zero signal / no data) able to send and receive MMS? They fail for me over WiFi calling, work flawlessly once I'm at work utilizing data (possibly ruling out APN issues)
Additionally, MMS send/receive work great on my wife's iPhone 7, and they worked perfectly fine on my OP5T until the Oreo update (at which point, that phone had stopped being able to send/receive MMS over Wifi Calling as well.) Anyone know any tricks to getting this to operate? The only alternative I have is to tell people to send picture messages / group messages to my Google Voice number.
Items tried:
Tried creating alternate APN that has more APN types
Tried activating the SIM that came in the box, as the one I was using was from my OP3T forever ago.
Tried using Google Messages as opposed to the stock SMS app
Tried using Signal (which works fine if the other end is also utilizing Signal - 99% of my contacts, however, are not.)
T-Mobile support seems to be completely blind to any issues with this, so just seeing if anyone else has a similar experience.
I have the unlocked OnePlus 6, I'm on T-Mobile and WiFi calling and texting works.
I had one instance that it wasn't working (I noticed the VoLTE icon was gone). To get it to work again, I had to reset Network settings (settings>system>reset options>reset WiFi, mobile and Bluetooth).
Presto!!
Try it out.
After this I turned airplane mode on, connected to WiFi and made calls and sent texts just fine.
Good luck
Does it work on any network?
Mine connects at home with internet and wifi calling. Works at a friends house too.
At my office it connects to the network and all functions normal except no wifi calling or sms.
My Galaxy S8 works with wifi calling at home, friends, AND at work.

We had this issue.. It was blocking some ports... thankfully someone who knew more than I did was able to work with them to whitelist the needed port thru the firewall. I admit that seems inconsistent with the S8 working @ your work.. but still worth following up with your IT.
What version of the 6t do you have? Tmo or International?
My OP6 works & sends mms just fine via wifi calling. It could also be a network issue maybe.
Has anyone comes across a Pie custom ROM where WiFi Calling works?
So far, Xenon HD 8.1 is the only one that I have gotten to work.

Latest treskmod is working now as well
Try this on your custom ROM, I am on a OP6 but this should apply to the OP6T.
Add this to /system/build.prop, save and reboot:
Code:
persist.vendor.cne.feature=1
WiFi Calling should function now.
It works on AOSiP and Omni for OP6. YMMV.
I have the unlocked 6T running OOS and cannot send MMS on WiFi-Calling. All calls and SMS texts work fine, just not MMS. I am on MetroPCS which is functionally the same as T-Mobile. On my 5T everything works perfect over WiFi-Calling including MMS.
Has anyone found a solution for MMS not working over WiFi-Calling for T-Mobile/MetroPCS?
On my S8+ I noticed this was the case too around November or so, and I am still seeing it on my S10+ too. Used to be able to send MMS (with mobile data completely turned OFF) over wifi, but now it needs mobile data. Anyone else? Whether on Sprint or TMo

By definition, MMS needs mobile data. It shouldn't be possible to send any MMS on any phone with mobile data enabled. If it worked before, the phone probably automatically enabled the connection just to send the message

Usually to get around the issue, you have to send one MMS via mobile data, then after that it should work. If I remember correctly. Something to do with verification for the initial send.
I can't speak to TMobile or Sprint, but I have MMS working over WiFi on Verizon prepaid. I know it isn't using data because I have 0 bars at my house. MMS over WiFi did not, however, work for me on Cricket. Do you have WiFi calling enabled? If not, I think I needed to do that first (this requires a data connection to initiate). Good luck!
I have an unlocked S10 on Consumer Cellular with an AT&T sim and I've noticed that I can completely disable data and send MMS also. I knew I had working wifi calling but never tried MMS until this post.
Been on Sprint since 2008. MMS uses data, never been able to use it with WiFi......

I just switched over from an s9 to the s10 on Sprint. Was able to receive mms while talking on the phone as long as I had WiFi. I'm not sure why some people don't believe this works. Now I am trying to figure out how to make it work again.
I am tmobile I notice MMS and text will send on wifi if I have bars of service if I am in dead zone and no service wifi only will not send.

Yep, THIS is exactly what I'm talking about. If you have no service/no mobile data, MMS will not send. It used to back on my S8+, but then recently also stopped on my S8+ and continued to not work on the S10+.

You might have a point i always had service up until getting moved to a new spot at work in December. I know it does not matter if there is data or not. It matters service. Good luck and I hope for my sake too u find a fix lol.
I ordered my OP8P directly from OnePlus, but my MMS doesn't seem to be working. Anyone else had the issue?
I actually got a message that the settings were not correct, and that the correct ones were being sent to my phone (had never seen that before). I looked at the APN info, and it seems to be correct... based on memory.
I'm on T-MOBILE also and received the same message. The phone had an update so I installed and rebooted the phone. All call,text, MMS, data worked like it's supposed to. Try rebooting?
I have issues when connected to WiFi, message comes in but doesn't download

I've tried rebooting. Things are a lot better, but I still have some issues with calling out (can't remember the message... will try and get a screenshot next time). If I immediately try again, the call will go out.
I'm also not seeing any wifi calling. The feature is enabled, but it doesn't seem to be working... even on the "wifi calling preferred" setting.
Just wanted to post an update.... still having issues. MMS pretty much never works with wifi on. For this reason, my wifi is off pretty much all day. It never fails that as soon as I turn it on, a picture or group message comes in.
Also, this does not affect SMS or RCS messages, which appear to come in over data somehow.... just MMS.
Need a fix bad.
I'm having the same issues with T-Mobile. I'm leaving wifi off in the meantime. Hope there is a fix soon.
That was supposedly fixed with the last update. What software version are you on?

Hi, not sure if it would make a difference but I'm using Google messages with the chat features enabled. I never noticed anything unusual though but I live in Louisiana. Sorry to hear that. I know there is an option for mobile and wifi (dual-channel network optimization) that I haven't been using. Anyway I hope this clears up for y'all.
I'm on 10.5.6. I just went to t mobile and got a new sim card.. It didn't resolve the issue.
Use Textra app, go into settings for Textra and it has option for TMobile WiFi, works great

You really, REALLY had my hopes up. It actually makes sense, but it doesn't work. I tried with both on and off... no luck. MMS messages (both inbound and outbound) are stuck until I turn off wifi.

I used to use the Textra app, but really prefer Google Messages for it's web app. I am on the PC all day, so it's aggravating to have to pick up the phone all the time. I've tried MS Your Phone, but it's not as easy to use, or as reliable.
I created a thread with a similar (but opposite) issue to what you're experiencing. A friend of mine with an international 8 Pro on TMO is having the exact issue you are.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-8-pro/help/receive-mms-wifi-calling-tmobile-t4088673
Didn't get any help from that but you can try the APN trick for a temporary fix until it's patched for real. I also created a thread on Reddit for this and I think I found the solution. I use Textra, but that alone didn't help. Someone on Reddit told me to disable the stock messaging app, as well as revoke it's permissions to everything. Since doing that I'm no longer having issues. It's only been about a day so we'll see how it goes from here.
Hope I could help!

Duplicating the APN worked (of course, I did the whole thing then swiped back, thinking it would save, grr). I'm guessing it won't last long. It's just as easy to disable wifi for it to send... so weird that you're having the opposite problem.
**EDIT**
Nevermind... it didn't work. I was able to send out with wifi on (which I couldn't do before), but my wife's test message wouldn't download until I disabled wifi.
I had frozen the stock messaging app on day one, with tibu. I thawed it, revoked the permissions, and disabled it via settings this time. No luck "Not sent. Tap to try again".
Anyone find a fix for it yet? I thought 10.5.8 would help but I still can't receive or send MMS on WiFi.

Granted, I haven't done any extended testing yet, but I can send/receive MMS now with wifi connected. I upgraded about 4 hours ago, and this is probably the longest I've ever had wifi on.
Now that you've posted this, I'm skeptical it will last, though.
**EDIT**
Yep. MMS is still broken when on wifi. Geez....

The latest update seems to have fixed it for me. I was also having issues receiving calls. Callers would get a busy signal. The update fixed that as well. Maybe try taking your SIM out, reboot, then put it back in and reboot.
That didn't work. I'm finally getting notifications from my sports app after the 10.5.8 update. Just have to fix the wifi now.
Wifi still dies on me, but not with the ! on the icon. Just no traffic. I had to toggle it. But nowhere near as much as it used to. The MMS issue is the only reason I don't leave wifi on. I was really hoping it was fixed.
Same issue here even with most recent updates. MMS will work 1/10 times over wifi (sending & receiving) but not the other 9 times.
Since the update I've also noticed wifi issues - they may have been there before but didn't notice. Wifi seems to hang, I sometimes see a "!" next to the wifi symbol. In many cases I turn WiFi off and the connectivity issue in whichever app is resolved.
So at this point on TMobile there is no reason to keep wifi on, which is unfortunate because with their "5G" I actually get half the speeds of LTE. ?

Pretty much everything you said. I'm really upset and disappointed. I'm actually considering returning the phone and going back to the OP7P. Not even sure what the return policy with them is...
Like the title says, I can only receive MMS over WiFi calling. If I'm not using WiFi calling (which I usually don't) or if im not connected to WiFi at all, I will not receive an MMS message. I will get a notification saying it failed to download. Sending MMS also doesn't work. This is now day 3 I've been using the phone and until now I've had no issues. This morning it worked just fine.
I had a similar issue on my 6T where I couldn't receive MMS on WiFi calling, so my problem now is reversed. To fix that I got an LTE cell spot and disabled WiFi calling.
So far I've tried rebooting, toggling airplane mode, toggling WiFi calling, checking and changing APN, using Textra, and using Google messages. Nothing worked. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Update: suddenly working again. Strange.
Update part 2: broken again.
Update part 3: FIXED (at least so far, been working for a few days without issue) switching to a different texting app (i.e. Textra or Google messages), and revoking all permissions from stock messaging app like data, WiFi, EVERYTHING. Then disabling the stock app. After this, I haven't had any issues. It seemed to be intermittent before so we'll see how long it lasts. So far this has been the longest stretch without issue.
I have discovered that a bug is causing the issue. It is APN related it seems. To fix it temporarily, I have the default TMobile APN and a second one with the exact same settings. Default doesn't work at all. The second one will work for a few hours. Once it breaks again, all I have to do is enable the default APN, then the one I created again immediately after that. Keep in mind they both have IDENTICAL settings.
weird mine works fine I just sent and received from a friend of mine two photos without issue. If it's TMO USA I'm assuming by the thread I use the stock APN but I duplicate it and change APN protocol and APN roaming protocol to IPv4/IPv6 from it's default settings (I think one defaults to v4 and one to v6).
