Disable MMS/Texting over WiFi
So I have the dreaded sporadic issues sending an receiving text message while connected to WiFi. Since there seems to be no solution, T-Mobile sent me a 4G hotspot for my house. While in theory that'...
I’ve discovered that my difficulties with MMS seem to have nothing to do with wifi calling.
Disabling wifi calling in settings had no impact. I still had the problem after I disabled wifi on the messaging app, plus I could not use the messaging.google.com site with wifi disabled on the messaging app.
Moreover, when I enabled wifi calling in the settings and in the messaging app, I went for two days with no disruptions to MMS.
The only thing that seems to work for me is rebooting the phone when MMS messaging fails. When that occurs, I get a "failed to send message" notification for a MMS message I tried to send or a "couldn't download message" for an MMS message I'm supposed to receive. Those are my triggers to reboot my phone.
Does anyone have other ideas about what’s causing what seems to be an intermittent MMS problem and how to fix it?
