It is becourse you are on wifi, mms can only be send and recived with the standard phone connects edge,3g,4g and so on.

I'm having the same issue, and have spent many hours on the phone with my provider vodafone uk, tried new sim, various mms settings etc, still no joy.

Your APN settings are incorrect. Ask your network provider to send you the settings for your phone via email and you can follow their detailed instructions for putting them back in. You won't be able to get historically received MMS messages but all future ones will then work.

Thanks for the answers people, it worked as soon as I activated data traffic (Tried after flashing Oxygen rom, dont know if that fixed it)

I had the same problem and had it fixed by having my telco send a 'configration settings' file over the air. This then added the correct APN details for MMS.

Google failed me. Tried GoSMSPro to no avail.
Scared to edit APN, will that mess up my radio working?

You won't edit the APN, you will make a new one, save it, then select it. Your original APN will still be available to you.

Can you post a screen shot so we can see what you're talking about?
Possibly your time in your phone is off.
Check these settings and the timezone.

SMS time fix or clocksync application from Google play as suggested.
I think the OP means that the stock messenger app doesn't always get the order of the messages right. I noticed this a few times when I would respond to someone's txt immediatley. The app would put my response txt before the recieved txt... I don't know why it does this but this is one of the reasons why I moved to a 3rd party message app.

double pictures received in text

Every time my wife's GS3 receives a picture in a text message, she gets 2 of them. Phone is completely stock and only has the default messaging app installed. No others.
Any ideas as to what may be causing this?

1. Check mms configuration in Message settings (attached)
2. Try to follow your carrier guide for reconfiguring MMS APN (relevant data access points (attached))

I'm not a big expert of the subject, but it seems to be something to do with the MMS server receiving double picture-retrieval requests from your wife's device (by another installed app for instance).
BTW- does she have AT&T message app installed, because it seems to be a known issue with it: http://www.galaxys4forums.net/forum/12-galaxy-s4-help/2988-receiving-double-mms-messages.html

[Q] APN problems after a dirty flash

Yesterday, I attempted a dirty flash to the latest CM11 nightly. Upon boot, I got a load of APN errors and lots of other instability. Ok, I didn't even know what that meant at the time but...no problem. Wipe and reflash.
Everything seemed to be working fine, got everything reinstalled. SMS, phone calls, data etc works just like it should. Until I tried to send a MMS today. Gave me the same APN error. Doesn't matter if I am on WiFi or not. So I reset default settings on the APN list under settings. No change. I've also spend a lot of time searching looking for the correct VZW APN settings - tried just about everything I could find with no success.
Here are a few screens of the current APN settings.

Anyone experienced this? Solutions? Thanks...
Well, after doing some reading over the dev section, seems I'm not the only person with the problem. Now to just get a few most posts so I can contribute......
It was suggested that I change my sms app from the default CM11 messenger. I tried Handcent and Hangouts, no luck.
Have you tried a clean flash

Had the same thing happen, do a clean flash, and uninstall Google Play Movies App, worked for me after that.

No text notification sounds or vibration

Just the other day I stopped getting sound or vibration notification for my SMS. That's the only thing I'm not getting. The only thing I did was unsubscribed from the Verizon web access to sync my SMS. From there, I've tried changing the sound but no avail. Any suggestions?

What other mods if any have you done? Any xposed modules?
- Tapatalked From The G3 -
I've noticed this with messages sent to my Google Voice number. They'll pop-up in Hangouts on my desktop right away but I'll wait and wait and never seem to get a notification on the phone (though I get impatient and pick it up after about a minute and then as soon as I unlock the phone it decidesd to notify me.)
I thought it was maybe a Hangouts bug since they just integrated it with GV but maybe it's a G3 issue? I'm not rooted. The only real change I've made on the phone was replacing the stock launcher with Google Now Launcher.
This is what I have installed, but had no problem with them all enabled

I am using Hangouts as my default app but my changing it doesn't matter.

go to your messaging app and hit the menu button and look at the settings in there, my vibrate was off.
