MMS Problems with Lollipop? - Verizon LG G3

OK so just about every Lollipop ROM I run I find myself having a weird MMS problem where it takes a forever (1-3 min) to send just one message. And it's not even a picture, just plain old group message. All my APN's are set correct so it's not that.
Anyone else having the same problems?

Or does everyone have group messages sending instantly? I need to know so I can try to fix it.

Totally have the exact same problem, did you ever find a resolution?

Quoted right from the OP - "All my APN's are set correct so it's not that". Seems like it's not that. I am also having this problem, however I've only noticed it while my wifi is on (my data is constantly on, before anyone asks). If I turn off my wifi, and then reboot, things send instantly.

That's the main issue, the other is bluetooth reconnectivity, I couldn't use ASOP Android 5. Sometimes it would never send and yes, the APN was set correct.
"Stock" Lollipop has no such issue.

I'm not sure if it's a placebo effect (I haven't played around with it too much), but I know appear to send and receive MMS messages muuch faster after making the changes. There were a few differences between the recommended settings and what we're included with my ROM (all the port numbers).

[q] apn settings missing??

Hi if someone could clarify for me...I recently went into my settings and went to mobile network settings then Access Point Names...and it's empty says "no Items".
I am able to text and go on internet and send MMS. Is this normal...i thought I seen some settings before in there.
I am on Rogers network and on KI3 stock for last week with no issues.
Should I manual add settings?? I know I can find in these forums just need to know if this seems normal.
Fixed
Sorry guys I just rebooted phone and noticed setting there again..wonder if it had to do with ORBOT I installed?
Since we kinda on subject can anyone tell me why when receiving MMS or sending it is like a video and plays for 5 secs even though clearly a picture?

Same happened to me when I flashed ki3. I just factory reset my phone and it was ok again. I could have just entered it in manually though.
As for mms, that's just how it is. If you want to send it as a photo email it. It much better quality when sent as an email too. Mms compresses the image too much for me.

Can't send MMS w/o enabling data

Hey, all!
Ever since i've picked up the amaze I've been having a mms bug. Can't send any pics w/o enabling the data first. When i hit send, it does display the 4g icon (i'm on stock ics, but it happened on gb as well), but in a minute or two the error message comes in. Once i enable the data and hit retry, it goes out smooth.
I haven't updated to a new sim-card yet (wi-fi calling wouldn't work on gb with the old one, but ics doesn't seem to mind), not sure if that's something to look into.
Let me know if anyone has any ideas
Thank you!

Mms is a data-reliant service, you need data enabled to send or receive. Thus...I would not classify this as a bug...

i've never had a phone that did this. i think i know what the problem is: APN settings for mms.

Downloaded APN Manager and checked my settings with it. Some are not correct. However, this app doesn't work with ICS. Any suggestions on how to change the apn settings on a stock (s-on) ics?

was it hard to just say you can click on the "mobile network" icon to bring up the settings tab vs the switch, as i had no idea it worked like that now? thank you.
Update: still no dice with the correct settings. 4g icons shows up and then i get the delivery error message. once the data is forced enabled from the drop-down, it's golden. very strange.
Without data enabled, you will not receive nor be able to send out mms. No way around it.

i understand that, but when sending mms, there should be a trigger (which i can tell it tries to do when i see the 4g icon appear right after hitting "send", except for nothing happens) for the mms data to be enabled just for the time it takes to send a particular mms, otherwise, what's the point to always have data enabled? none of the smartphones i've had, had this happen (sensation included).

I also have this when using ics. When im using gb i dont need to enable data for send mms. I think this is a bad of ics. All my mbile credit will deduct when i enable data becoz an email will update and also a notification from facebook. I hate it! :thumbdown:

Go into your apn settings and delete it or simply reset to default, it should auto download the correct settings, no idea how to make mms work WITHOUT data being enabled, I find that odd to be honest, but if it worked on GB, then I think you guys should stick to GB, just to save yourself some dollars.
It has been a while russianbear.. Anywho, what previous people have said is true, if you actually have data DISABLED, it won't come on for anything(how would the phone decide you want it on for MMS, but not something else like browser?). I used to roll around with data disabled a bit when I had gingerbread, so I can confirm it was the exact same way - you had to enable data to send mms - if it was off, nothing data related would work.
If you aren't worried so much about how FAST is sends MMS, you could always set it to 2g only, then your phone simply couldn't send much data at all.. or an awesome feature built into ICS - go to system settings then click usage - turn on set data usage limit, and set it REALLY low - this will keep ANYTHING that uses background data from sending/receiving, but any app you use in the FOREGROUND will work like normal - open browser or youtube and they would work like normal..
I'm sure there's another trick that would work, but I need more coffee.. good to see you again russianbear.

hey, man good to see you as well.
i'm sure i'm not tripping when saying you don't actually need to physically enable the data connection for it to send mms (none of my prior devices needed to) i've downloaded go sms pro and it works like the stock app should - i don't need to enable anything to send mms now (all options in that app are stock also). not a deal-braker to me, but still strange.

LOL, that may be why I didn't have issues.. I hate the stock messaging app, so I always used gosms. I'm not sure why you would use that ugly HTC goodness anyways, lol. Good to have you back bro
After much time trying to have MMS working without the data connection being active, I found that putting only "mms" in the APN Type setting does the trick (don't forget to save the settings before exiting the APN settings screen). The problem is that the setting is not applied without RESTARTING the device! So, change the setting to "mms", save, and restart.
You need to have the "Data active" option ticked, but there will (should) be no data connection for internet.
PS: I did this in another device, not the HTC Amaze. But it probably also works for you guys.

i've tried mms only, but still nada. it's ok though, i like go sms app anyway
Actually I send MMS and the message leaves but the person who receives the MMS gets an empty MMS message.
After much playing around with the device, I discovered that inserting a picture using gallery or the explorer that comes with the Amaze are all fail.
The only way I'm able to successfully send messages is inserting the image using ROOT Explorer. When I send MMS the person no longer gets empty MMS messages.
Now I'm using the CapcomCE ROM and it happened on SpeedROM 7.5
I downloaded the Gallery ICS from market and its the same story.
So basically if I insert pictures to send through MMS I have to use the Root Explorer or else the MMS messages are sent empty.
Has anyone had a similar experience?

[Q] Send pictures while in a call

So yesterday I'm on the phone and I go to send a picture to someone(MMS) and after a bit it came up with a box saying it failed and to retry now or later. I tried it a few more times and still nothing. I know my Galaxy S3 allowed me to send picture messages while in calls so is this a device limitation? Am I the only one experiencing this? Or is there a New law or something that doesn't allow picture sending while in calls for some reason?
Just wanted to get some feedback to see what other people are experiencing.

Which app were you trying to send it through? And no, there is no new law that would stop this.
Is it possible you were on wifi when you were trying? From what I understand Verizon devices will not send picture messages over wifi, they have to use the network.
Stock LG messaging app, stock dialer. Rooted device and that's about it. I noticed I actually do not need mobile data on to send and receive picture messages normally (not in a call) so I typically leave it off when I don't need it for data.
My setup when I tried was WiFi on and connected to my home network, mobile data off, and phone call present. Would not allow me to send the picture. I'll try it with data on later and see if it works.
Didn't think it was a law, Which is good. May be that the data was off. And yes Verizon phones do not send pictures through WiFi they do need mobile data for Verizon services (text,MMS).
Well weird.. Called my voicemail and sent a picture message to myself and it went through both with data on and off.
Well I must have had another issue last night where it wasn't wanting to send. Weird thing is it sent after I hit try again and was off the phone.
Only thing I could think of is that the area I was at before typically gets less coverage (although still 4g).
So I'm confused but as long as it works I'll be happy!
Any solutions please update us

I the solution was found. Apparently a fluke issue.
Yes, seems something else was the issue there. I figured it was the call because that was the main thing I was using the phone for. If I get anymore info on this I will share.

[Q] Trouble Sending Text Messages

So, I have Cyanogenmod installed, and for some reason now I'm having trouble sending text messages. It's like I can send one, then none after that and sometimes if i reboot the phone it'll send another then no more. Is anybody able to tell me if this is something to do with the software on my phone or something on Verizon's side?

Did you check the APN settings for your text messaging app?
I had this issue once but a battery pull seemed to fix it.
Try this and see if it works.

[Q] Is anyone else unable to send pictures in their text messages?

Whenever I send a picture in a mms it spends a long time "queued for sending" then it fails. I've verified my APN settings. Are other people able to send pictures with no problem?
i havent had this issue, try resetting your APN.
if the problem persists contact your mobile service provider

Hi , I've had that problem for a few weeks now, despite that I have a separate APN set up solely for MMS (read somewhere sometime agao that its best to have 2 APNs, one with all of the necessary settings for intenet etc and then one optimised for MMS, keeping the the internet one tagged as your main live/enabled APN, the phone will still se the MMS apparently). I've checked my settings, and nothing has changed since when I was last able to send them, however I have to admit I don't use MMS very often and I can't really remember for sure exactly when I was last able to send an MMS successfully.

Oh really? I read that having more than one APN screws it up and it's best just to have the one.
From here:
When you set up the APN that you have posted in your question make sure you save it & erase all the other APNs that could be showing
