Google Nexus 6P mms not working (AT&T)

[jsarino]

A variation of this thread (http://forums.androidcentral.com/nexus-6p/607008-google-nexus-6p-mms-not-working-tmobile.html), anyone with AT&T that has found a workaround with MMS not working? Hangouts to Hangouts directly works, but not if I'm sending an MMS via SMS.

What worked for me (I'm Verizon btw) was to go into:

Settings -> Apps -> Settings (yes again, use gear icon top right) -> Default Apps

Browser app was not set. I set it to Chrome.

I also rebooted. But then my MMS (group messages) started flowing.


[Edit: I went in previously and looked at my APN names settings, but I did not change anything there]

Working fine for me on att. Are you using the Nextgenphone APN? Did you come from an iPhone and use iMessage? If so that could be an issue sending MMS to groups that you used with iMessage.

Wow, didn't think that trick would be related, but it worked! Thank goodness I don't have to install another SMS app. Thanks, dwc_sf!

plano, I am. No, went from a Nexus 5 to the 6P. I only noticed the issue when I was sending MMS to non-Hangouts friends.

Edit: BTW, I remember back in the day when you and I were posting in the GS2 Skyrocket section.

The Skyrocket! The first ATT LTE phone! The Network was so fast back then! Glad you got MMS up and running!

LOL, I know! I sort of miss that phone, because it was my first phone (not the Nexus One that I owned before it) that I ever rooted, unlocked, and flashed a ROM.

Thanks about the MMS! I was going to pull my hair trying to figure out what the deal was.

Very strange, but that worked perfectly. +1 to you.

I had the same issue, but it was Pushbullet that was causing the problem. I uninstalled anyway now that it's a paid service, and MMS is working fine. I'm also getting my 4+ hours of SOT like I was before I installed Pushbullet.

Sadly, this isn't working for me.. As MMS has been broken for 2 days now

I just got a new update on Hangouts. Maybe that update fixed your MMS issue?

I tried all the above and none worked. This is the 4th time I called ATT and usually a phone registration works but not this time. Very annoying.

Okay so I called Google and everything is fine. Called ATT again and they sent a re-registration to my phone WHILE IT'S OFF. Powered back on after a few seconds and it worked like a charm. This is the temporary fix I've been having done but no real solution in place.
