Can anyone answer this???

I have an AT&T Tilt unlocked and am using it for T-Mobile. The phone works great with the exception of a few things. What do I need to do in order for my Internet and MMS messages to work?
Also does anyone know of any shortcut for text messaging? It seems that you have to go through so many steps to start a text.
Thanks!

settings are different with other carriers
I am not exactly sure what settings would have to be changed to make the internet work but I know I have read it a few times for different ROMS, I just didn't need the advice since mine works. Search the forums and find out what TMobile runs off of. As far as how quick it takes to get to texts, you can change a key to them and there are a ton of programs that offer shortcuts.

for MMS the setttings need to be:
Server name: T-Mobile MMS
Gateway: 216.155.165.50
Port Number: 8080
server address: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
connect via: T-mobile MMS
Wap version: WAP 2.0
for the internet go to connection settings and for the connection name enter
T-mobile Data
access point name: wap.voicestream.com
user name and password leave blank

thanks for the quick response. Where exactly do I go to enter this information?
thanks again

Thank you for the link

it also depends on which internet plan u have? if its the 5.99 tzones plan, its a little more difficult to set up, let me know if u have that one and i'll tell u how.. if ur using the 19.99 plan, simply go to settings-->connections-->connection setup, and set it up for tmobile USA. it'll also set up ur mms at the same time. good luck
omar

oh wait... ur using the tilt rom... thats probably NOT gonna be there... i'd advise u to flash to a different rom.. sorry

Hi,
to speed up your textmessaging you can copy the files tnsms(for SMS) or tnmms (for MMS) for the windowsdirectory in your startupfolder.
These files open a new SMS or MMS an you wont have to do many steps.
Then you have possibility to choose these applications in your buttonapplication, where you can assign applications to buttons.

yes i have th 5.99 plan can you still help?

sms settings on tilt
Sorry mms settings......
Does anyone know where these are ?

my buddy is on tmobile and it took me a good day to figure out the correct settings... I honestly don't understand why tmobiles mms settings are so hard to setup while atts is really easy

hey, just as a warning, i was never able to get the 5.99 settings to work on the original tilt rom, and another user on this forum also never got it to work. the 19.99 internet works fine on the tilt rom. dunno its weird. however when i flashed over to a different rom, it worked no problems.
1- go to connections, and add new connection cellular line, gprs 3G, call it whatever you want
2- access point name: wap.voicestream.com, leave the next one blank and then finish.
3- now click on manage existing connections, click on proxy settings on the bottom right tab
4. make sure both boxes are checked, and enter 216.155.165.50 as the proxy server.
5- click on advanced, and double click on http: and change the port to 8080. leave everything else the same. ok out to the original connections settings screen.
6- click on the advanced tab on the bottom. click on select networks and set both of them to my work network
thats it.. IE should work now no problems, and set any pop3 email accounts to connect to my work network. good luck
omar

i have no idea how to flash to a new rom. Is this something that you think i can do easily and without ruining my phone?

I am running into the same issue too, no MMS, but Internet works good on the 5.99, so i am really wanting the MMS to work.. I hope i dont have to have the $19.99 to have it to work.. that would suck! HELP!!!

Is it possible to have working MMS over WiFi?

Hi I don't have a data plan and I got a picture message I want to view..is it possible to download it throught wifi somehow since I don't have a data plan? If so, how? Thank you so much in advance!

I'm sure there isn't. But I'm pretty sure you don't need a data plan. My old RAZR did it just fine without a data plan. I know from experience that you can't send or receive mms over wifi

MMS is solely and OTA event. You also do not need a data plan to view an MMS. You do, however, need the proper settings in your phone before it will DL a MMS OTA.
As for sending one over WiFi, yes, it is called email and IMing.

you used to be able to, but T-Mobile took care of that, and the APN is now blocked so you can't send or receive the mms messages. Kinda sucks.

settings for MMS over wifi?
pcforpres mentions settings in order to be able to read MMS over wifi, what are the settings? I'm also interested in reading MMS messages over wifi. It would be awesome if I could read/write MMS messages as well, since I do have the unlimited sms/mms with the G1. Obviuosly, I don't have the data plan yet. Thanks!

i think it would be pretty useful.... cause i dont get 3G service in my room or good service at all , and sometimes its impossible to even send an sms

I did not say you could send MMS over WiFi, I said you could only send MMS OTA, which means Over The Air, aka through your carrier's network.
The reason people can't send MMS with cooked ROMs most of the time is because they do not enter their carriers settings into the phone, just like you need to enter the data settings. Sometimes, the date account settings and MMS settings are one in the same, but most of the time they are not.
As well, MMS are independent from having a data account. Every single carrier allows any customer to send and recieve MMS for a nominal fee whether they have a data plan or not. Some bundle MMS in with text while others with data, but MMS is independent of both of those services in terms of network protocol and phone settings(with a few exceptions where if you have a data plan, it is the same setting that your phone uses to do MMS and internet)

WiFi and MMS
Thanks PCJforPres. Per your previous post "MMS is solely and OTA event. You also do not need a data plan to view an MMS. You do, however, need the proper settings in your phone before it will DL a MMS OTA.
As for sending one over WiFi, yes, it is called email and IMing."
You mention you do not need a data plan to view an MMS. I'm currently able to receive the MMS, but not able to download it. Is this what you are saying as well? or can we actually read it via wifi? Are there proper settings to use with no data plan? These MMS messages I somtimes get are just text, but for some reason they come in as MMS. SMS works great. Any thoughts or solutions?

Yes, you must set up your phone with proper MMS and SMS settings for your carrier. MMS does not need dataplan.

What is likely happening is that you do not have the proper MMS settings, either the ROM doesn't have the MMS application, or you have yet to set the settings up. So instead of getting the MMS, you get just the text with a blank "image" box or whatever because it cannot connect to the server to download the data portion. There is no way to us WiFi to do this, because the internet has no way of accessing your carriers network and obtaining that info. It is stuck in your carriers routing system, and after X amount of time will be deleted if you do not download it.
Call your carriers CS line and ask them what the proper settings are for MMS, even if they say they don't support the G1, insist that they tell you the manual settings for a smart phone... you should get APN info, Proxy and Port info, default website info(this is the site it downloads from technically), network type (ie is it WAP, Secure WAP, HTTP, Secure HTTP)... there might be more or less info needed, but those are the basics.
You can usually search the interwebs for this info as well.

And these APN settings are far and few to find but good luck if you find them, I have tried everything, every different type of APN for T-Mobile US and had absolutely no luck.
These are not facts but my own conclusion about this: What I'm afraid is that Android pushes all MMS activity through the data connection anyhow. Because after using another T-Mobile SIM, with the data connection, I was instantly able to download all my MMS pictures. So I don't think there is any correct APN setting for MMS to work without the data plan sadly. That's why I started a thread awhile ago to hopefully build support.. but I guess most people out there have the data plan or no data plan + no messaging or simply just don't care about MMS.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=559805
I'm just hoping that somebody will try to fix this problem eventually, but like I've discovered there just isn't much demand for it. Personally, I want to get into Android dev but I can't say how long it'll take me to learn the ropes plus if I'll even be able to do anything about it myself.

MMS over wifi
Yeah, it is crazy that MMS is not available over wifi that we know of. I was going to call tmobile for the APN, but from reading it sounds like MMS by default goes over there new data APN? no clue. What a crappy way to make money for tmobile that they have to force customers to have the data plan. At least SMS works and other functions over wifi (which is really all I need). I don't have time for non-stop data access for my phone. Yeah, hopefully there will be an alternate fix to access MMS over wifi or another APN. Any ideas or does any one have a working APN they can provide?
I guess I'll try tmobile again for a valid APN.

any word on camcorder/mms sending?

Title says it all

+1 to that.

I know how to send mms but not recieve.
For Verizon do this to be able to send mms
Go to Settings -> Wireless Controls -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names -> Android
Modify the following settings:
MMSC: http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms?X-VZW-MDN=<your ten-digit phone number>
MMS proxy: leave empty
MMS port: 80
I was thinking i should modify the username to [email protected] and password to vzw like windows mobile but i am afraid to try it because i dont know what the current password is to change it back if it dont work for recieving

Sending works, Receiving does not yet. The link in the prior post has instructions on settings to get sending pic messages working.

Well I have a sprint touch and I can receive. Not sure why everyone says they can't, but I followed the thread and the only sprint version I saw was for the thouch pro 3 so I tried that and it sends but it doesn't make it to the person I'm sending to, tried sending to my email and phone.

It was just on the 3rd Or 4th page I think. : http:// Developement" section: http:// forum.xda-developers.com/ showthread.php?t=627388. Yeah I was always able to receive mms, ever since I started using android back in January. But I put in those settings for touch pro 2 found on that site cause it was sprint qnd I was finally able to send it but it wouldn't make it to the person I was sending to.

When you "receive", is it the actual image or a web link to it? Everyone gets the web link - that just means Sprint thinks your phone isn't MMS-capable on the server side so they text you a link instead. You're not "receiving MMS" unless you get the image straight to your phone.

You can just edit the T-mobile apn. Keep in mind once you edit it and save it the apn deletes itself. Then all your left with is the telkila apn. Everything will continue to work as it did before.

It's not strange, sprint doesn't send MMS to the phone through the old fashion way, they send a link to your phone and you follow that to a webpage containing your image

[Q] Using Captivate (unlocked) with 3 in UK. Voice / SMS works, data doesn't

Like the thread title says, I'm in London at the moment. I unlocked my Captivate before leaving and bought a SIM card from 3. Unlimited data, 3000 SMS, and 300 minutes for 15 quid ... not bad.
Trouble is that I can't get any sort of data access. Voice and SMS work, but no data is coming through. I have full bars, but normally there is an E or H to the left of them with up and down arrows and that is gone. Google logins aren't working and no internet for any applications.
I've been reading a little bit and something about APN numbers perhaps?
Thanks

Make sure that the data radio frequencies are compatible and if so make sur they are enabled, can't remember what exactly to do but searching should find results easily
See if data roaming is disabled because the radio frequencies are probably not the same as the normally accepted ones

Aye, it's the APNs.
You have to get the settings from 3. As far as i know, the cappy does support the 3G bands there.

a quick google search gave me this

Apn - three.co.uk
proxy - not set

Give that a shot. In case you dont know how to get to the settings, it is. Settings > Wireless and Network > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names > (then hit the bottom leftmost capacitive button) and press new apn.
Good Luck i hope it all works out

So it's a combination of the below answers. For anyone looking to do this you want get to the APN settings page then and make a new profile but only set the apn to be "3services" no quotes. I tried three.co.uk, but that doesn't work. 3services works just fine though and speeds are pretty reasonable. Also, you must enable data roaming as the above poster mentioned as well.
Thanks for the help guys much appreciated.

Major MMS issue. Please assist.

Hi everyone. I've had the HTC One through T-Mobile since the first few weeks of its release. One of the best features about it is Group MMS. That way I can be in a group chat with most of my friends who have iPhones. It was working flawlessly on both a stock T-Mobile ROM, and Android Revolution 8.0. About two weeks ago my friends kept telling me some of my messages were coming in as blank. I was able to see my own messages and I was able to see all of their messages in group form.
I would reboot my phone, and occasionally I would send a message that would be readable. I wasn't sure what was going on. I had T-Mobile reset my SIM card info from their end, I removed my SIM card, etc. That didn't fix it.
I also wiped my device completely last night. Installed a 4.3 ROM (InsertCoin) thinking it was going to remedy the situation. But no...I am still sending blank messages.
What could be the issue here? Why would this stop working out of the blue, and wiping doesn't fix the situation!
Normal SMS is fine!
Please help!

IDK, The only thing I know, is that I had this issue with my One X last year just after going from stock rom to cyanogenmod. no mms and sms working fine. I deleted my APN and created a new with correct info (mine from Rogers) and everything were working again.
Maybe flashing rom erase apn settings? idk. Just try, its very simple to check before going deeper.

Nope, I checked. The APN settings are there, locked, not able to be changed, and are correct.
Like I said, Group MMS works. I can see everyone's messages in the group. It's when I send one that it works on and off. This only started happening a few weeks ago. It was perfect for months.

It seems like I'm not the only one...
Anyone know what to do about this???????

the second to last post in that thread has a suggestion. Install the new Hangouts app with SMS integration and you'll be all set. Then you'll be used to it when we get our 4.4 update (or when Hangouts updates from it's 4.3 version, whichever is first)
