verizon TP2 on Tmobile MMS issue

I have a verizon touch pro 2 that is running on tmobile network. I have the mighty rom and the arcsoft cab but I do not know the setting to set it back right. When we first did this we had it set and the mms worked perfect. Then the phone reset to verizon some how. When I set it back to tmobile the mms setting were messed up. Does anyone know what I need to set the phone to. A guy did all the work and now I am having trouble getting the info from him so I have to figure this out alone.
Thanks
I had a similar problem. I got the phone unlocked but I never had the settings. It took forever but I eventually by luck got the right exact settings I needed. I have a sprint TP2 with Tmobile service. I dunno if the phone will matter but it should work. Here is the link to the post and follow the instructions for the settings that someone posted for me. It work and Im grateful.

I just tried the setting in there. I have to go to work so I will post back tonight if it worked or not.
ok. lets hope it does
So far no. Now it is saying that it "Dialed epc.tmobile.com can not connect for an unknown reason. "
I also tried wap.voicestream.com and the same thing. I need help it wont connect.
it also will not let me connect to anything data so it seems to be my data connection causing this problem
it says that for me sometimes too, but mines work anyways. did u do the same data(T-Mobile Data) for both internet and private (when it says "programs that automatically connect to"). Both should be the same exact setting. After u do the whole process for internet just pick T-Mobile Data in the drop down for Private cause it has the information u just configured.
I did do that. And I had nothing. BUT this morning it worked. I did nothing diff from lastnight. It just started to work and has worked all day. I do not know what or why it all of a sudden worked. Oh well it works now.
Thank you for your help.
No problem . Your very much welcome.

Trying that now .. hope that works . If it doesnt can nTelos push something to my phone ?
That didnt work either . Under "Mobile network" is just says "Standby for connecting to mobile network" ?
I know this sounds elementary, but sometimes a standard reboot will cure that.

Ive tried that many many many times
I have now flashed new rom Fresh Toast v2.1 and still no internet .. this has to be something simle ...
Come on peeps .... there has to be more here
Come on guys , I really need some help with this . Anyone gets it right I will send $$ via paypal . Thats how bad I need this up .
C&P from a post I made a while back trying to help someone. I had the exact same Turning On issue and this is what fixed mine. I'm not with nTelos but another non sprint carrier.
I had to compare/correct settings in the EPST menu with another HERO from my carrier. To access the menu dial ##778# I think the password for edit mode is your MSL mine was 6 zeros yours may be the same. View Mode will not show the Security section info. The settings that finally did the trick for me are below
Security Section

(LONG)
[email protected]
HDR AN Auth Password ID

The HDR AN Auth User ID (LONG) may or may not start with evdo but from 2 carriers that I looked at they were similar. The small x's will be specific to you carrier. The capital Xs were my 10 digit phone number. Like I said best thing would be to do a side by side compare of yours and someone's that is working.

##778# doesnt bring anything up on this phone .
^ You basically erased your data settings when you flashed the Sprint rom. You need to know your carriers data settings and their APN info.

I can access everything else ##prl# , ##data# , *#*#4636#*#* , ##000000# etc ... the one you mentioned is the only one that doesnt come up . Aside from that , this is my second hero from ntelos and havent had a problem before when flashing roms , connections etc ...

Flash a different rom and try. Those codes don't work in all roms. I used Bittersweet 1.2 when i was working on mine.

Yea , going to give that a shot again . Getting back to the apn talk, CDMA does not have APN menus I dont believe .
Flashed another rom and still no evdo ....
Were you able to hit the ##778# menu?
I flashed every rom available at the time mine was broke. You need to confirm those settings in the EPST menu are correct or nothing will change in any rom.
By just looking at mine I was able to realize they were not for my carrier.

The settings are correct in epst menu .. I made notation of them before starting all of this . This is strange because this has never happened before .

[Q] Oh god please help (galaxy s i9000m [bell])

THE MAIN PROBLEM IS AFTER THE NEXT PARAGRAPH
All my problems started when i downloaded an application that was supposed to turn off the lock screen on my phone. After restarting the phone i realized that withour the lock screen it cant start. And so my journey began. As most posts are about the i9000 not the i9000m, it was incredibly difficult to figure out how to do a hard reset, which sucked. After that i figured, hey, why not update to 2.2? I did, using a rom called macnut r12. It didnt work, it would not let me use my sim card for 3g, calling or texting. I tried to reset my phone and it wouldnt work. So what i did was...
I tried to put 2.1 back on my phone, and ended up putting the i9000 version on, not the i9000m version. It's not that bad, except its missing a page of stock applications, wont let me use my 3g for some reason, and i just dont trust it. Does anybody know how to help me? I realize that if i send it in they will probably remove my warrenty and ill be double f***ed.
I used ordin3 v10 btw, so i could fix it with a pit, pda, and phone file.
*edit*
i might have found the solution! when i origionally flashed it i made a recovery using clockworkmods free app. Im going to install it and try to recover!
Personally I would flash this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845558
if your just looking to get a stock rom thats 2.2 made specifically for the i9000M.
As far as your 3g not connecting , your APN settings are most likly blank. You would have to fill them in manually.
Thanks
Im downloading the files now. If there is still a problem with 3g i will google it lol, but i also typed some code in the dialer and it said network data is blocked (or something along those lines)
...later...
I got it!! now i need to fill out the acsess point name? oh well, one step at a time, i guess.
Worst case scenario, i can just use rom manager to restore 2.1 from a backup (no, im not a moron, all the other firmwares wouldnt let me download it for some reason
i got it!
Its finally over! i got 3g again, thanks bell!
for anyone with the same problem go to settings/wireless and network/mobile networks/access point names menu, new, the first field put in bell and in the second one put inet.bell.ca.

LOL good job!! Although, if you had done a bunch of reading you would have found there are LOTS of information on here for fixing your problem (with the lost APN settings, and lost of internet) and you likely would have saved yourself some stress. lol if all else fails, download and re-install the stock JH2 rom (that came with your phone) and flash it 'usually' works for me!

Glad you got it working again. Just an FYI, that ROM you flashed 'macnut r12' is for the US Vibrant, not the Bell Vibrant. Our phones are more akin to the international version. You need to stick with i9000 ROMs in the future, not from the Vibrant forum.
Glad you got it sorted out.

[Q] [Milestone] question about roms

I have an A854 milestone in Alaska , I treid CYanogens and bugless beast...both run very nice on it...the only problem i see is the APNs are verizon and I can not for the life of me restore the the old ones..it says sucsseful but...i dont have MMS working. I tried manually entering an APN but it doesnt seem to save...if i leave it verizon will i get a huge bill?? my local carrier is GCI...any ideas how to fix?
Have you tried this, open voice dialer and say " open apn " . Select it, then hit menu and hit new apn. Gci apn info is floating all over xda so just input the info in the right fields then hit menu, save, and reboot immediately. Should be bada bing baby!

Yup, this. Copy the APN information down, then just set it up manually if the app doesn't work.
If you don't have a LTE SIM card....usually has a 2 or 5 in the 9th or
10th digit and is sku 73057...and an LTE data plan you can add a second APN Setting and it will work with ICS...you will get 2g,3g, HSPA+, voice and text...but no LTE....
Please reply back if you need settings for it.....

No problems here with mms on ST on any rom I've tried.
These are my settings for ST on my Vivid:
NAME:
Straight Talk
APN:
att.mvno
MMSC:
http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS proxy:
proxy.mvno.tracfone.com
MMS port:
80
APN Type:
default,mms
I've had straight talk for a week now, mms was working fine until yesterday just quit working, tried a million different settings and still nothing. Thought it might of been the juicedefender app I was using, I deleted but it didn't change anything. if anyone has any suggestions that would be amazing.
When I get a picture i click to download, it attempts and than says download failed.
I'm running holics rom ICS 4.0
thanks
I have having a lot of trouble getting data and mms working on my stock vivid with ICS 4.0.3 on the straight talk network (ATT)
I have tried the standard straight talk settings from their website and probably about a dozen found via the web but none have worked.
Anyone know the secret for the vivid?
