receiving and sending MMS is too slow - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers

Hi everyone! I never had an issue with my iPhone 6 before, and I never had an issue too with my Note 4 before getting iPhone which had Lollipop installed on it while sending and receiving MMS using T-Mobile. I recently switched to Galaxy S8 from iPhone and it seems like it's kinda slow for S8 to do it. Is it because of the stock messaging app? Wi-Fi Calling is enabled if that matters too, as iPhone can still send and receive SMS/MMS and make/receive calls from others, even if I don't have signal in a rural place here in California, as long as I am connected to a high-speed Wi-Fi.
Any thoughts about this? Is anyone experiencing this too?
Thank you in advance!

WiFi Calling Not Working

Hello! I have very recently bought a N4 on TMO, and one of the features I was eager to try was WiFi calling. However, it seems not to work. I can't send texts and can only call intermitently , but can't receive calls. I've been reading that this seems to be a known issue on the GS5 at least, but what about with the N4? Is there any fix?

Call t mobile and have then set it back up for you.
BAD ASS NOTE 4
I've had a few issues with WiFi calling. It is possible that it is my router, but sometimes when I make a call it will go through but the person on the other end can't hear me even though I can hear them just fine. If I turn off WiFi and try it using the mobile network they can hear me fine.
Sometimes it has to do with setting ur e911 address with tmobile if u get a red error message most likely means the 911 address is not filled in.You can call tmobile or go to tmobile.Com and set ur self.Maybe a new rom using international kernel wifi calling won't work must be a tmobile kernel
I also have issues with Wi-Fi calling. 2/10 times it works fine. The other 8 times it's one way audio. I can hear them no issue, but they cannot hear me. T-Mo says it has to be my router but the thing is I have 3 other android devices on T-mobile network on the same Wi-Fi connection that has no issues making or receiving calls on it.
Before the Note 4 I had an S4, which I still have and it had no issues either.
Hope they get it fixed.
It's not the e911 address because mine is already set, and I'm not more than 10ft from the router.

Problem receiving text messages while on LTE

I've been having problems receiving text messages while connected to an LTE network. Outgoing messages send just fine and everything else works properly as well. I was able to nail the problem down to LTE when I realized that texts were flooding in while on phone calls. This is because while on a call it switches from the 4G LTE network to the 3G HSPA network. I did some further testing by having people send messages while on LTE (didn't receive them) and then by changing my preferred network type to 3G in the Settings menu. The messages came in only after doing that.
I ditched my '13 Moto X for a One M8 last year because of a similar issue so it seems to be a problem specific to Moto, though it obviously is not a widespread issue. I'm not rooted or anything. I don't have any apps installed that could be messing with it.
I'm not sure where to go from here. Does anybody have any ideas? I turned LTE off a couple weeks ago and it isn't ideal.

Signal issues

AT&T in Chicago. We have issues with signal on the Z3C in our apartment. Trying to troubleshoot, but not really sure how to go about this.
The symptoms are phone calls that never ring, and text messages that don't get delivered on time. Then all of sudden the voicemails and texts come through in a bunch. Oddly though, can always make a call or send a text. This is on WiFi if that matters.
Have a Nexus 5 and a Nexus 6p in the house, with no such issues on either of those.
I tried some network strength tools from the play store, but the dB reading on the Z3C is just coming up blank even though I'm currently able to send/receive texts, so something is wonky there.
Any one have some advice? I was thinking of changing the preferred mobile network from LTE to WCDMA, but then do I lose access to LTE all the time? Thanks in advance.
this has started happening to me too on my z3c. I noticed it this week. Same symptoms, but the occur everywhere;
Info
Sony Xperia Z3 Compact D5803
Rooted & Xposed Framework w/xPrivacy debloated Sony ROM Android 5.1.1
AT&T Service with tethering and mobile group family plan
Houston, TX USA
Symptoms:
-Occasionally phone calls forwarded from GoogleVoice to my ATT phone number (over standard voice, this phone doesn't have VoLTE anyway) don't ring, or show up as a missed call. The only way to know a call came through is the voicemail notification in hangouts, if they left a voicemail.
-While driving, cell signal drops to 1 bar or less, then jumps to 5 full bars instantly, while connection to the internet is intermittent. (this was not an issue last week to my knowledge, it use to move from tower to tower quite well)
Troubleshooting Attempts:
-Added my own APN settings rather than using the one the phone downloads automatically. I used the settings from ATT's website, and when compared to the downloaded one, the only thing missing was "hipri" in the APN Type field. I just did this, so the result is yet to be determined.
-Restarted phone
-Cleared Caches
-Checked all other obvious settings
-Called ATT and updated my registered IMEI when I bought the phone two weeks ago from someone on craigslist, so can't be that. (I've also moved my sim into my old Moto X to test, and that doesn't seem to have this issue.
Hope this helps
Found this thread from 2014 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2912242
Does not fill me with hope. We just flipped the LTE off, I'll post the results back after Christmas.
Sorry to say we already have hirpi in the APN, but hopefully it works for you.

Cant hear caller

Not sure if anyone else has experienced this problem, but it's happened since day one. When I call my wife and she answers I cant hear her but she can hear me. She has an Iphone 7plus. The kicker though is if she calls me then everything is fine. Anyone experienced this problem?
Bump
Probably not the same issue & is a result of my area that I had but with my Note 5.... when VoLTE first got turned on in my area I would have this problem a lot as well as dropped calls & long wait times for calls to connect or not connect at all. I disabled VoLTE & that took care of all that.
With my Note 8 I still have dropped calls issues with VoLTE turned on in certain areas. Much better than before but still is annoying to the point where I leave VoLTE off anytime I'm not at home or at work. But no issue where people can't hear me speak with my Note 8.

How to send MMS via WiFi?

Hello!
I've been dabbling in iOS for a while, but I pre-ordered the s10. Using iMessage, I've noticed that, when I try to MMS Android phones, the message fails. Doing some research, I've found that this is because I have WiFi only at my house with absolutely zero signal from any carrier. I have Cricket, and they don't allow MMS via WiFi only.
My question is this. Is there any app for Android that allows MMS over WiFi where my recipient wouldn't have to do anything on their end, I.e. install an app?
I know this isn't s10 specific, but any help would be much appreciated.
