[Q] How to Get MMS

how do we get MMS without the t-mobile g1 data plan?

I dont think its possible. I guess you can get Chomp SMS and pay for it there which could be cheaper but i dont know if it supports MMS...

i cant really help you . but i can say that its worth the 20 or 30 bucks for the internet plan

Agreed with G-Fetus. Plus you can always tell people to e-mail it to your gmail and you can download the attachment from there.

ok this worked for me...
Goto
Menu -> Settings -> Wireless Controls -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names -> T-Mobile US
Make sure you go into T-mobile US and not any other settings.
Change the settings to the following:
Name: T-Mobile US
APN: wap.voicestream.com
proxy: 216.155.165.050
port: 8080
Username: not set (delete everything in this field)
Password: not set (delete all here too)
Server: not set (delete the *)
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS Proxy: 216.155.165.050
MMS Port: 8080
MMC: 310
MNC: 260
APN type: not set
Restart your phone. Now your MMS should work.
*Troubleshooting*
1. If you’re having trouble still, go into mobile networks and enable ‘data roaming’ and ‘use only 2G’
- I've tried this and it seems to be working for me.. this is the only solution i know..

does this still work? i heard t-mobile blocked G1s from using this

it still works on mine..

I tried that on my phone because I am having the same problem. Doesn't work for me. Although I didn't edit the T-Mobile US APN, I made a new one, if that somehow matters.
If anyone has figured out anything on how to get mms messages to work without a data plan please let me know. Everything else on my phone works perfectly.

I figured my new friend [girl] had sent the picture to my gmail instead of text. I'd like this to.

[Q] APNs for internet and mms

Hey guys
I set up an APN for my Internet service which works fine.
I then set up a second APN for my MMS service which also works fine.
(running stock 2.2 Android on my O2X)
Here is the problem... I can only have one service operating at any one time.
The APNs have radio buttons beside their names which means you can only select one APN at a time.
I have to switch out of 3G to send and receive MMS.
My telco has informed me that I cannot combine the Internet and MMS settings on a single APN to prevent the need to switch APNs.
They have told me their must be a setting on the handset to make both APNs work at the same time.
Does this make sense to any of you?
To me it seems logical to have a single APN handling both Internet and MMS.
Is it a matter of setting the correct "APN type" in the APN settings?
Thanks for any help.

Just merge your them.
Apn type should then be: default, supl, mms

Thanks for the reply.
What would you set as the APN... internet or mms or something else?

Should work with whatever you want. Its just a name

Thanks again for your help.
I greatly appreciate any assistance.
Unfortunately, it is not so simple.
My telco is definitely using the APN field as more than just a name.
If I do not set APN as "internet", the 3G stops working.
Similarly, I need to use "mms" in the APN field for mms services.
So it seems to demand one or the other.
My telco (amaysim) gave me the following settings:
INTERNET SETTINGS
Tap APN and enter internet and tap Ok
Ensure Proxy is Not Set
Ensure Port is Not Set
Ensure Username is Not Set
Ensure Password is Not Set
Ensure Server is Not Set
Ensure MMSC is Not Set
Ensure MMS Proxy is Not Set
Ensure MMS Port is Not Set
Ensure MCC is 505
Ensure MNC is 02
Tap Authentication Type and select Not Set
Tap APN Type and select Not Set
MMS SETTINGS
Tap APN and enter mms and tap Ok
Ensure Proxy is Not Set
Ensure Port is Not Set
Ensure Username is Not Set
Ensure Password is Not Set
Ensure Server is Not Set
Tap MMSC and enter http://mmsc.optus.com.au:8002/
Tap MMS Proxy and enter 61.88.190.10
Tap MMS Port and enter 8070
Ensure MCC is 505
Ensure MNC is 02
Tap Authentication Type and select Not Set
Tap APN Type and select Not Set
So my telco requires 2 APNs to be set up, but the O2X only seems to use 1 APN setting at a time.
This means I have to switch to the mms APN whenever I want to use MMS.
Can the O2X be set to read 2 APN settings at the same time?
If not, I have to merge the settings into a single APN.
When I try to merge the settings into a single APN, I get stuck with the APN field.
The telco wants APN set as "internet" or "mms".
I have tried setting APN to:
"internet, mms"
"internet + mms"
"internet and mms"
...but this stops the internet from working.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Either to get 2 APNs working at the same time, or to merge the settings into 1 APN.
Thank you in advance.

Please differentiate between "APN type" and "APN name".
I have APN type as "default, supl" for internet and "mms" for mms.
The MMS one does not even have a radio option.

You have 2 separate APNs (one for internet and one for MMS) set up that work simultaneously on an O2X with Android 2.2?

Thanks for your help HerrKuk
I spoke to my Telco again today and they continue to state that the internet and MMS settings for their service cannot be combined into a single APN.
They told me that other Android handsets do not have the same problem and can manage two separate APNs.
At this stage I think I will just leave it on the internet APN by default and switch APNs temporarily whenever I have to send and receive an MMS.
A messy solution, but maybe this will do until the 2.3 upgrade is finally released by LG.

[Q] MMS on AT&T??

Hi I tried to look for my issue on the forum, but seem to have problem with my MMS, receiving or sending. I set up my APN, so I am able to get internet and data, but I left the MMS section alone. So I tried another APN setting with cingular info, but still unable to send or receive MMS. Any help would be great thanks.

APN
Create a New APN
Name: What You Like (I choose ATT HSPA+)
APN: PHONE
APN Type: INTERNET
MMS
Create a New APN
Name: Whatever You Like (I choose ATT MMS)
APN: PHONE
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS Port: 80
APN Type: MMS

Doesn't this mean I have to manually change my network setting to send out MMS?
Update: Okay tried what you said, so it automatically select the AT&T Phone. But still doesn't seem to work.

Thank Sebring5, finally figure it out after doing a little more research.
I guess APN is like you said and that should allow for all internet and data, which I already had. But for MMS portion, I needed to add APN: wap.cingular and finally started to get my messages. Thanks.

Yeah...these are my settings also. Gotta make sure you have an imei the system recognizes as hspa+ for these to work.
Btw... I don't have port 80 set, and I think it's faster that way.

APN settings for Straight talk

Hi,
Has anyone tried to activate data using straight talk? I cannot get to connect to the APN with all the available options on the web. If anyone has gotten a working APN setting using this phone model and straight talk please do let me know with the ROM, Radio and the settings that you are using. I am using cyan vivo 10.1, 19M as well as 24M radio without any success. Thanks for any help in advance. I can get voice and sms with the straight talk service though. Only the data plan does not work.

OK, finally figured this one out after a couple of days of hard work. I had to install the Stock ICS ROM 3.6 WWE and use the built in APN configuration for Tracfone. This configuration made it work for straight talk without any modifications. Both data and mms configurations worked. So I noted them down and flashed cyan vivo 10.1 and yay now both data and mms work. But not sure if these are intermittent but have been using for about an hour without any issues. Below are the settings that I used for the JB ROM. You can combine both of them into one, But just to be clear I have these two separately.

In Europe SMS and MMS are only received/sent on 2G, 3G, 4G connections of Telecom providers.
EDIT
Check your Messenger setting. Under Advanced your phone number.
In settings - more - Accesspoint names - <possible T-mobileMMS> : username, password - MMS proxy/port

You will want to cut the MMSC from the T-Mobile MMS APN and paste it into this one. Also Add mms to the APN type, it should read "default, supl, mms"
Save the APN settings you just changed, and delete the T-Mobile MMS APN.
