Help MMS won't work on Nexus 5

Had it working, now it stopped. AT&T has the right IMEI info and all is provisioned okay on their end.

I am able to receive MMS messages but for whatever reason cannot send using Go SMS Pro. Lady at AT&T send me an MMS while we we're on the phone. She asked me to try and send, so I tried to send a pic to my sister and after about 1-2 minutes of it trying to send, I get a message in the notification drop down, that message was unable to be sent. Mind you texting works flawlessly. I wrote to them and awaiting a response. My APN matches that of what was posted above.

I don't know what else to do at this point. Can anyone help?

Are you rooted? Custom recovery installed?

No and no. What am I noticing though is it seems to be in low signal areas, because when I was in a better signal area MMS went through no problem.

I have never experienced that issue before in any location.

Same problem here, hangouts sometimes sends MMS and sometimes not. It doesn't matter if I'm on WiFi or 3G.
 
For those still having problems, I'd recommend doing a nandroid backup and then do a factory reset. See if it works then. If it doesn't, then it's a problem with the carrier or phone. If it does, then use Titanium backup to restore apps one by one from your nandroid backup.
 
The way I fix it is just reflash the ROM I am using. I have been using that to fix it since my gnex. I don't know what that does but it works every time. Now what do you do if your stock and want to fix this issue
 
Wondering if anyone have this issue. I received some pictures in a text and when I tap on the picture to enlarge it, it opens a picture from a previous text I sent. Any help is appreciated.
 
I used to use Go Pro a few years ago then switched to stock. Now I love handouts via SMS not google account.

I only use basic SMS text a few times per week.

I'm setting up a new box stock Nexus 5 for my wife. What's the easiest app to install & use instead of Hangouts?

Thanks

IMO, they are all easy. But you are kind of asking what the best car to buy is; everyone is going to have an opinion. Your best bet is to read reviews and find the one that has the features that you are looking for.


That being said, I like simplicity...... I use 8sms..... And drive a TJ :D

Thanks to both of you.

I chose Textra for my wife's new Nexus 5.

Indeed, it's simple and easy, just what she wanted.

You know what they say, happy wife = happy life ...

I'm in great shape now :D

This.

OP, keep in mind that the Nexus 5 is supported on T-Mobile and Sprint out of the box, but not AT&T, so you probably need to change the APN settings for MMS to work. AT&T Tech support should be able to give them to you (if you don't want to google it.)

I'm on T-Mobile and MMS does NOT work on this phone. End of story. Your provider has nothing to do with it. Google has been wkg on a "fix" since Nov 2013 and come up with nothing. People from all over the world on every carrier are having this issue. It's all over Google forums. The above is a logical comment but --> Carrier is not relevant for this issue. :(

I'm on T-Mobile and MMS does work on the phone. So, no, it's not universal.
 
I'm on TMO and had similar problems. Initially i got MMS to work by disabling WiFi. This was a major pain so I found that if I go into the advanced wireless settings and checked the avoid poor connection check box I could send MMS with the WiFi enabled.
 
Wiping the cache partition took care of this problem for me. Tried all of the other tricks in the book, including factory restore, and this was the only thing that actually worked on my Nexus 5.
