No MMS while on WiFi

[Mooncatt]

Not sure if I'm just having a brain fart or if something didn't setup right, but i just got a replacement Verizon V20 and can't send MMS while on Wi-Fi. On my last one, it would still seamlessly send/receive MMS via mobile data while on a Wi-Fi connection. I've been looking around, but solutions seem all over the board and haven't found one that works yet.

Do you have WiFi calling set up? IIRC that's the only way SMS/MMS would work over WiFi (or if a carrier app like Verizon's Messages+ that supports WiFi is used).

Tried with and without Wi-Fi calling turned on. Also tried with Verizon's Messages+ (i normally use Handcent) with no luck.

Oh, and i just found out i can receive MMS messages, so the problem is only got sending them.

Ha! Figured it out, or at least a workaround. I found an option in the developers menu to keep mobile data active while on Wi-Fi. Turning that on seems to have got things working right again.

I'm glad you got it sorted. I have AT&T, not Verizon, but I never disable mobile data, and I haven't had any issues with MMS.

That's just it, I wasn't disabling mobile data. The phone was defaulting to that state when turning Wi-Fi on, so i had to override it.
