[Q] S4 Active MMS Quit working after Lollipop Update on Straight Talk (AT&T)

[aaronkemp172460]

After updating to Lollipop, my AT&T S4 Active quit sending and receiving MMS.
Spent an hour on the the phone with Straight Talk to no avail. They say everything is right on their end and everything is set correctly on my end.
Is anyone else having this problem? Does anyone have a solution?

Did you check the APN settigns? Default Network type?

 

[aaronkemp172460]

I did. I went through numerous checks and changes of the APN with Straight Talk support to no avail.

The only thing that has changed is going to Lollipop.

(I have even tried switching to several different messaging apps- AT&T messaging, Google messenger, and Go SMS Pro.)

Did you try clearing cache/dalvik in stock recovery? And why does your signature say SM-G900A, I assume you have the i537 as well? (Sorry just gotta filter out the obvious solutions til we can get down to the bottom of this).

I have and use the s5 (900a) and my wife uses the s4active (537).

I did try wiping the Dalvik and cache to no avail.

These are my settings on lollipop. I used the straight talk apn app from play store to set them.

This is exactly how mine has been set. Straight Talk tech even had us try settings that he called their diagnostic servers.

There is quite a bit of chatter about this on Twitter now. (search for s4 active MMS).

Hello I too have been having the issue with MMS since upgrading to lollipop, it will show pending and not send. Now if i turn on my wifi then it will send, and thats the only way i have figured it out on my phone. I have cricket service and when calling in to ask about this issue, they advised me thats its only on this phone that wifi is needed to send or receieve mms. I tried removing Google messenger but that didnt work either as well as deleting cache in recovery. Is anyone else having this issue on this phone.

I have the International version and have had a similar problem for a while. If I try to send or receive MMS my mobile (cell) data stops. I have to turn if off and on again and wait to get to wifi to see the picture. Did you have a problem with cell data crashing aaronkemp172460?

I also use Google Messenger as my sms app, maybe I need to ditch it.
