Sending/Receiving MMS Without Data On

[gadget069]

Since rooting my phone I have been unable to send or receive mms without having data truned on. I recently flashed miui and noticed there was a toggle to enable receiving mms even though data was turned off. It works great. I like miui but may switch back to unnamed or ICScrewD. Is the way to have this options with other roms, or is this just a rom specific feature?

Thanks

Its impossible to receive MMS with data off. I dont care what MIUI says. IMPOSSIBLE to receive data with it truly off. obviously in MIUI the toggle will selectively turn off data, and will turn it back on automatically to download a MMS message.

+1 this would be a great feature for other Rom.. Especially for those of us with 200mb data plans

Rom specific. UNLESS, you try Tasker. I can't confirm it works, but if you already have the app, try it.

I was just able to set up a profile that would theoretically work. Upon receiving MMS, turn mobile data on, and for exit task, disable mobile data (or add in wait task action, then disable mobile data).

Thats what my had done, i had data off but could send and receive mms. It would turn on to grab the mms then turn off. That's miui is doing, but there is a toggle in the network settings to do this. I'll have to take a look at tasker when i try a different rom.

Hate to necro a thread, but did any viable solution surface over the years? This is, to this day, my main gripe with Android - dumb phone, since it doesn't even have a protocol written into base rom to distinguish ALL data and just MMS data.
