Problem with MMS being received over Wifi? Possible fix

[Nerowoof]

HI all and please forgive me if this has been covered, I did search!
I just jumped from the note 3 to note 4 and once again experienced the problem of mms messages being received over wifi. I could get them if i turned wifi off.
It appears that the Tmobile default APN has no port set for Multi media message port (at least mine didn't)
I created a new apn with all the default setting but added multi media message port 80 and it seems to have corrected the problem.

Im not rooted so no custom rom installed. (Yes, i had my note 3 rooted and was a rom freak

Please delete this if its covered somewhere else and accept my apologies.

I hope this can help some others out.

Sweet lord baby Jesus, this worked! You, sir, are my new e-Hero!!!!

For the record I tested using Hangouts and I changed the APN settings in both the Hangouts app and Android itself. SM-N910T completely stock (unrooted).

WiFi over mms doesn't work with wifi calling right picture messages?

 

[LaDoyers]

Success! Mms works over wifi calling on the inverted message app. Thanks a bunch!

This sounds very helpful could you post some pictures of how its supposed to look? I rarely do anything with the apn settings i usually wait for the flashable zip.

Can someone give us a play by play on how to do this?

Just as the op instructed. Make an additional profile identical to the default. Then input "80" under "multimedia message port". Save and select the new profile.

Settings/more networks/mobile networks/apn

I took a screen shot of the default settings and used the pop up windows.

For hangouts I'm assuming you only inputted [name, mmsc,mms port, mcc,mnc]?

I don't really see why it wouldn't work on the S5, assuming it is afflicted by this same issue with MMS and WiFi. And yes that was all I put in inside of Hangouts itself.

Will give it a try, thanks

Does WiFi calling have to be off? Just tested with my wife's s5 with the same settings, both on WiFi... MMS will not go through until WiFi is toggled off on both devices. Didn't try toggling WiFi Calling.

Thanks! worked great!

 

[dc/dc]

Awesome!! Thanks so much for this. This was really starting to annoy me.

CHOMP

If you use Chomp for texting, go to Settings > SMS & MMS Settings > MMS Settings (Go here if MMS isn't working) > T-mobile WiFi calling fix and check it!

I needed it for SGS5 but haven't yet, for Note 4.

Correct but if you on WiFi and WiFi calling is on that should not be checked off. If it is it will send thru TMOBILE data and not WiFi.

Yes it does

For anyone who doubt's it I made a video proof. I am using chomp with regular APN data off WiFi calling on as you will see.

Thank you for this. I feel like it should be a sticky and plastered all over t-mobiles site. I have had a Note 4 I purchased from T-Mobile a week ago and have been switching off WiFi to receive MMS messages. I'm thinking its imessages (I switched from iOS) but nope, its a T-Mobile issue. Happy this is solved I was almost regretting my decision to buy an android phone.

Love XDA and its members
