Android Phone Messages app does not send photos

[eperov]

Hi,

Android Phone Messages app does not send photos, showing a message "Sending ...".

This is my settings on top of pic vs the ones I was told to do on bottom. Im too scard to change it. Since it worked while I still had roaming data but now it stopped when my us roaming data used up. Should I change it? Officially it doesnt use data but it seems like it did.

Recreated APN, everythibg is ok now.

MMS doesn't send over Wi-Fi. Only cellular data is used.  Give it a try.  Disable your mobile data while staying connected to Wi-Fi, and then try to send an MMS message.  It doesn't work.

"mms" is listed in the APN type

Everything is on, MMS are sending, but pictures are not.

@eperov  Make sure that mms id part of your APN Type. If it's not they just add it to the end of the string

@eperovIf the Messages app is still running.. for a Force Stop.. then Clear Cache.. Finally restart your phone.. That *should* clear everything that is in the queue.. hopefully it will work again. Now try sending another message to see if it works.

Mobile Data is activated.

The APN is already configured except yhese two:

MVNO type: GID
MVNO value: 4D4F

Mobile Data works, I can browse internet via Mobile.

Photos are not sending even when WiFi is on.

The most likely cause is the APN. You need to configure (Or re-configure even if you have already configured before) your APN settings to be able to send pictures (MMS) and navigate on internet (DATA). Your "Mobile Data" needs to be activated.
