Can't send/receive MMS on Wi-Fi
I've been having some trouble with sending and receiving MMS while on a WiFi connection (so almost all the time) since I have stated using my T-Mobile sim on my unlocked Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ph...
¡Hola, @magenta4936749!
I did some digging and was able to find that there is a known issue with Galaxy S7 Edge models that have an issue when handing off WiFi to the data network when trying to send MMS'. My recommendation would be to talk with Tech Support via 611 or T-Force (Facebook/Twitter) to get a ticket filed with our Engineers. By chance, have you already done this? If not, give that a shot and keep us updated on the outcome of the ticket.
The other option is find a VERY tech savvy person to put T-mobile firmware on your Galaxy S7.
My friends ported their unlocked S7's from AT&T over to Tmobile and had the same issues intermittently.
so I downloaded firmware G930TUVS4BRC1 off of a developer's forum ( Android Forum for Mobile Phones, Tablets, Watches & Android App Development - XDA Forums )and used the Samsung tool "odin" to write it to the phone.
This totally erases the phone (best way) but you can back it up first using Samsung Smartswitch software then restore it afterwards. You'll need to re-login to apps that save login and redo some settings but it's worth it.
Now their phone boots up with T-mobile logo not AT&T and looks just like a G930T (T-mobile version of Galaxy S7)
This is NOT for the inexperienced person as it can cause issues if done wrong but they now have ZERO issues....and didn't have to go out and buy new phones at great expense!
To moderators: if this sort of post isn't allowed let me know and delete it, but this DOES work and it's not that hard to do!
