Help Textra MMS won't send

[Crashbeads]

For about a week my Galaxy S6 won't send pictures. It will receive them, just can't send. It will stay with the three dots next to it trying to send forever. I am using the textra app and my carrier is Sprint. I am using 6.0.1 marshmallow

Go into the Textra settings and look around for an option to edit APN settings. It's possible that something is incorrect there.

You can find a list of apn settings here: http://www.4gtricks.com/2014/08/sprint-apn-settings-sprint-4g-apn-settings.html

I cannot find where to change APN settings. I looked everywhere. Also in the APN settings for the phone itself, it won't let me change anything.

Textra > Settings > MMS > Manually Configure APN

Though you most likely shouldn't have to manually configure if it's pulling the settings from your device.


You can also look in your device settings and make sure everything looks good there:
Settings > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names

What do you mean device settings? It won't let me click anything on the APN page. I figured out how to change the APN in textra and changed the MMSC to match the link you provided. it still isn't working

Try going into the TEXTRA settings > MMS > MMS Advanced & try changing either/or the Carrier Send Limit value or the MMS Behavior option.

I did. changed to no carrier limit and tried changing legacy to system. when I changed it to system, then instead of just having the three dots, it actually says that it failed to send

If the stock (Samsung) SMS/MMS isn't giving you any issues,I'd just start over,by uninstalling Textra,re-installing & see if the problem persists.
If so,sounds like a bug that needs to be reported to Textra via the Support option within the app settings,

OR:
If you do this via desktop PC,you'll probably need to temporarily disable any Ad Blockers,as the button to the support/help bot (right side of desktop display) is hidden otherwise.

I mean to check the APN settings on your device as opposed to the Textra app by looking in Settings > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names

It's odd though that the problem just randomly started a week ago. Have you checked with your carrier to see if they can determine any problems with your MMS?

Any luck yet?

Try changing the size limit to 1MB.

This is what worked for me. Droid Maxx, Verizon.

Click:
gallery
desired picture
icon from the menu bar shaped like two barbells forming a < between the edit icon and the
messaging app icon

Email option will appear on the menu, maybe printer, but if Textra does not appear, click "see all"
scroll down, click on Textra
A messaging pop-up screen should appear to enter the recipient's contact number/name
Finally, click the send icon.
Hope this works for others.
