MMS is acting weird. When Im on 3g I can send MMS and I can receive them. But if someone sends me MMS while Im not on 3g and 5min later I turn on 3g so that it can check for MMS and download it it just wont. There is a message downloading and that it, it doesnt work. Do you know what the problem is?
mms
I have the same issue after update to official froyo i recieve the mms but it just shows downloading and nothing happens i have already used the configuration sms for mms and internet still same :/
and now i discoverred even my camera dont work !
Me too after putting 2.2.1 on fone-read a thread on another forum about the same prob.Some have solved it by deleting the two APN s found in Settings/Wireless and Network/Mobile Networks/Access Point Names and then manually entering them and saving them (this is easily found on your service providers website-check its there first before deleting though)
Didnt work for me though but who knows you may get lucky?

I manually enterd the APN settings but it didnt help I hope there is solution for this, I cant have my 3g on all the time to get mms, my battery will die in few hours
Also if i have Wifi on and 3g on, the dominant is wifi but if MMS comes it doesnt change to 3g and it just says downloading.
anyone has an idea

so for apparently no reason today my internet stopped connecting. When I go to connect it says -
Dialed: wap.cingular
it says underneath it there is no modem at the above number.
ummm.... I didn't change anything in my setting but for some reason it won't connect to the 3G network. Any ideas here or do we know whats going on?
thanks for the help.

OK check this
START/SETTING/CONNECTIONS/MANAGE EXISTING CONNECTIONS/PROXY SETTINGS
and make sure that there is not a Check in the box next to :
THIS NETWORK USES A PROXY SERVER TO CONNECT TO THE INTERNET
This should do the trick I hope.
This always happens to me.
didnt work
no dice. its still giving me the same bounce back message that theres no modem at the above number. do i need to put a proxy server in the proxy server field? by the way this is a Tilt.
What program is trying to access the internet when this happens?
The same problem is occuring for me. I tried what Vol22002 suggested, but still can't connect. I was trying to access Internet Explorer.
Me Too - Atlanta
First thing this morning I tried to access the Internet with Opera and got the "Dialed: wap.cingular Cannot connect for unknown reason. ..." error. No recent changes to phone configs or software, worked fine after midnight last night. Power cycled and checked the usual stuff, still no data connection regardless of program.
Not Me Too Anymore - Atlanta
After not working from 0700 to 1050, I 'suddenly' have a working data connection. Go figure.
You'll probably find that this happens when your network is down. This happens very occasionally here and then I call my service provider to confirm this.

I would say that is the most common reason for the problem the OP is having.
the netowrk isn't down....
My dad's phone (not a tilt) is connecting to the 3G network completely fine. I can't access the internet through any program...internet explorer, opera, google maps, livesearch, the weather tab on my today screen...nothing. I'm at a loss right now.

still nothing...with or without the proxy on.
I've been having problems with my data connection and phone service dropping out for the last 2 weeks even though I have changed nothing on the phone. I see an x by data connection and exclamation point by phone. I'm using Dutty's 6.1 official release and radio 1.58.26.20. Usually I can get back service by turning on and off airport mode, and the problem is very sporadic. Usually only when I really need the phone to work! Sometimes just switching between GSM and Auto mode for 3G will provide a temporary fix. I just tried disabling the HSDPA, and we'll see if that helps in a more permanent way. I wonder if AT&T is kicking people off of its network that are using HSDPA before it is supposed to be available. I called AT&T about the issue (w/o mentioning the cooked ROMs or HSDPA and they say I should return the phone for warranty but I don't want the hassle of restoring the old ROM. Any ideas?
is everyone posting here with issues from ATL? I am and have had the same, figured its just a radio issue and have been too lazy to change radios...for those that aren't lazy, i'd try that...
nope, I'm in Oregon. I'm of the opinion that AT&T has changed something about how they run their phone and data networks (perhaps in preparation for the 2nd gen iphone and HSDPA) that is randomly kicking people off their network.

There goes the iPhone messing with Smartphones again. First changes what a Smartphone should be. NOW messing with the network. Hulk Mad!
Nope its not just AT&T im experiencing the same problem over in the UK. Now my proxy is disabled and I know I have all the correct settings but still the error message "unable to connect to the receiving modem." It seems to have no pattern for this happening con we get correlation on what ROM's & radios everyone are using to see if its that
First off, i would like to say hello XDA, this is my first post on the forum, so bare with me
Okay, here is my problem. I bought a unlocked G1 and i am using it on AT&T, i rooted it and installed CM on it. I DO have unlimited messaging- (texting AND mms, i spoke to a rep. and he told me this) Okay back to point- after i applied the APN settings, i noticed that the "E with arrows up and down" were lit so i knew data was being transferred. right away i deleted the APN so i wont get charged. But what im looking for is a code or app that will DISABLE data, but keep the APN for MMS. I WILL be using the market and other apps ONLY WITH WIFI, NOT DATA!!! So please help me out with this. i have tried APNdroid- and it didnt work (unless i set something wrong, if someone wants to help me with that)and i tried WisyncPlus (again, i dont think i set it right ). So short and simple- I want a app or code that will ONLY USE THE APN FOR MMS- and ONLY USE WIFI for the browser,market,apps,etc...
Not 100% sure, but I've read somewhere that The G1 will use background data intermittently, even after you turn it off. I used it for a week without a data plan, monitored my account at T-Mobile, and they registered my data use, but it was less than 1 mb a day so they weren't charging me.
Just off the top of my head, I remember the threads saying to not put username, password and server blank under apn settings.
Or downloading anycut, or bettercut, to make a shortcut to "testing" and running that will allow you to turn off data. All this was over at androidforums.com
Bump.... )=. I got APNdroid to work as i wanted it to! (only turn on data for mms, then turn off when the MMS was sent, or recieved) but while searching for "g1 battery tips" i installed "Ultimate juice" then un installed it, and then the dreaded E with arrows popped up and was lit. I checked APNdroid and no settings were modified (Disable all APNs, and enable MMS) I tried reinstalling APNdroid. but no luck )= UGH!!!! this is really pissing me off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello,
Has anyone ever experienced the inability to download pictures from SMS/MMS while connected to wifi? My buddy can send me a pic via messaging or chomp sms and once it gets to me, usually a long time later, I will get a small, empty chat balloon touch the balloon and it will give me the loading circle for a few minutes and it will eventually stop without dl'ing anything. If I turn off wifi then it will dl within seconds. This is the same on both my phone and my buddy's(captivate) the only difference is I run the Firefly 2.0.5 and he is running stock eclair.
Is this just something that we have to deal with or is there a fix for this?
I did a samsung live chat and the agent said it was the way samsung makes their phones and restrict it to only allow SMS/MMS DL from the carrier signal.
Thanks for any and all help.
mms are done over 3g, are you able to browse the internet on 3g? are your APN settings correct?
I get mms when on wifi too. I was home two days back when I got like 4 sms. And at home I'm always on wifi.

Never had a problem
MMS are only done over your carrier network. To prove this send your self an mms and as it is sending and receiving what your task bar and you will see that your data network connects to download it.
since the phone has to drop the wifi signal and connect to the carrier data signal to send or receive MMS (it might not show in the icon though), yours might be lagging somewhat in doing that...
so when the buddy is on wifi his one does it quicker yes?

Yes can browse the internet while on 3G and WIFI.
I do not know if my APN settings are wrong or right.

No, in reference to the way the devices act both do the same thing. Do not allow you to DL MMS while the WIFI is turned on. neither seems faster or slower it just will not complete the task on wifi.
Thanks to all for the replies

I checked it 2 days back. Even when on wifi, it turns on EDGE/3G, downloads MMS and disconnects it.

Anyone?
Would love to figure this out as it is quite annoying.
I'm getting MMS stuck on "sending...." with pictures any ideas?
I occasionally send picture messages. but most of the time they get stuck on sending....
some forum posts mention APN on off?
My friend has the same phone and lives with me her MMS were working ok today.
Also i set to auto receive MMS but i got a message with a download button from her. (so i had to manually download it)
What can i do to fix this?
Cheers
I have same issue with Custom Android Rom on my HD2 ... im on o2 and apn etc appear to be fine but stuck stuck stuck!! any help would be great
Had the same problem and tried the same solutions-I checked,double checked,deleted and put apn settings back in but it never made any difference for me. Have found though that if I leave 'Data Network' permanently on I can then both send and recieve mms. If I turn it off and get a mms I get the 'downloading' message but it never actually does when I turn the data back on.
Not much of a solution I admit but it works for me.
its usually your APN settings that cause the MMS to not send. Specifically for my provider (3), there are two APNs that I can set (3services and 3netaccess). I can only send MMS if I set the APN to 3services apparently because this goes through their internal servers first.
If your friend has the same phone and you are both on the same network, check her APN settings and make it the same for you.
MMS only works when data is enabled. Wifi needs to be off.

her settings are the same, her MMS seemed ok but slow, but she has only 3 free per month so i had to stop testing. I get 100 free, so i can send them to myself to test

Interestingly i feel that the problem started after using juice defender. but i could just be being superstitious.
and also, even though it sent ot auto receive MMS (and used to perfectly) it now makes me click download?
I got a new broadband router the other day (Virgin media superhub) but i don't think that's relevant?

Glad the APN worked
I am glad that you were able to get your picture messages working again. Sometimes fixing the APN settings can act only as a band-aid for this issue. If the steps at How to fix an Android phone Stuck on Sending or Downloading when picture messaging doesn’t help… then you might need to contact your service provider because it might be something on their end that’s not configured correctly.
Don’t forget that a backup and reset on an Android device can often fix this issue as well.

Hey people
I've flashed MiniCM7 2.0.5 and 2.0.6 and also flashed GingerDX v006, v007, v008, v009 and v010 and ALL of them have the same problem, i cannot send/receive MMS.
My APNs are correct, as VODAFONE gives with the phone and as it says in VDF PT website. In every FROYO Rom I flashed in my phone i can send/receive MMS without problems, with the same Configs. and APNs.
Can someone help me fixing this bug please?
It's very important for me
Thanks in advance
PS: Sorry for my bad english
Clearly its a CM7 bug, I dont know is it bug up in the tree, or its just on our device.
Peace, DDI!
Sent from my X8 using Tapatalk
KuyaDROID has the same problem, is a CM7 ROM also, so there is a problem on all CM7 ROMs.
There's any way to port any files from CM6 2.2 to fix the problem?
Thanks
I doubt, since I don't use MMS I don't even care about this
You should investigate is this "all-around" CM7 bug or just porblem on our device. If it's so, doixanh or racht could fix it
Peace, DDI!

I think it isn't any problem of my phone hardware. I can send/receive MMS without problems if i use 2.1 or 2.2 roms. So it is probably a CM7 Bug.
I'm a bit noob in this but if you explain me what files are related to this i can compare some files and see if i found some string that appears to be problematic.
Sorry for my bad English and thanks for your help.
Regarding the MMS issues some people mention;
Go to settings/wireless&network/mobile networks/access point names/
click on each APNs and scroll down to "Authentication type" where you chose PAP instead of the default none.
Good luck.
thenks go to JRO001!

Thanks but it doesn't work :S
It must work without changing that because in 2.1 and 2.2 it worked without changing that so it must work here too.
Well, let's wait for someone who knows a bit of development to see if the bug is detected (and fixed)

I also had this bug in froyobread (2.2).. the only way you can receive/send MMS' is to enable data trafic.. yes it will make you lose money but there are ways to prevent this like changing the apn of your internet connection to an invalid one, so you can have data traffic enabled without connecting to the internet trough 3G.
The easiest way is to install a widget that turns 3G internet on and of (APN OnOff for ex) so you can have data traffic enabled all the time without having concerns with money. When you want to use 3G internet you just click the widget so it turns the apn to a valid one.
Will it use more battery having data traffic always on even if it's not connected? Yes, a bit.. because the phone will try to connect to the invalid apn now and then but it's the only way until the bug is fixed..

I know that, i use APN Portugal to set up all APN's and leave the Internet disabled. Then i enable data trafic and "voila" xD
But in Gingerbread CM7 i cannot do that. It says that cannot send.
You probably made this already, but whenever I get a "cannot send" I just disable and then re-enable the 3G and it just works. (I have to do this every time I reboot the phone).
Regarding the wasting of battery, has I rarely use the 3G for internet navigation I deleted the Internet APN and changed the MMS "APN Type" from "mms" to "mms,supl". Now the 3G will only connect when sending or receiving MMS.
I had to type the full apn in all of the gingerbread roms and I get Mms in and out on o2 so dose the wife so that 2phone I know defo get mms.it may look the same as what's on the rom but its not
PS you must make a new apn with your sim network just Google it to get the right settings
super.sense on x8
Just switched to Kuyadroid to try it out today, and whilst I was able to get MMS on GingerDX, I just can't get anything through (in or out) on Kuyadroid.
Any ideas people?
