T-mobile MMS Help (w/ $10 internet settings)

Guys,
I have performed a search and tried various settings but have been unable to find a combination that works.
I cannot get the MMS on my unlocked, purchased directly from Google, T-mobile Nexus One to send.
Additionally, I am using the APN of internet2.voicestream.com so that I can use the $10 Web2Go internet instead of the epc.tmobile.com.
I have tried using both the stock messaging system as well as Handcent.
I am currently on Froyo but I also had the same problems with Eclair.
What are the tried and true settings for my particular configuration? Is anyone out there doing the same exact thing as me and have you been successful with sending MMS's?

you need two apns
FROYO by default will add epc one... don't delete it. however, go to APN settings and change the APN type to mms
create another APN for internet2 and set its type to default

arkavat,
Thanks a bunch! I tried this before but I did not properly set the internet2.voicestream.com APN type to "default". That did the trick.

Which APN should I apply the "supl" type to? internet2 or epc?

Can either of you post a line by line of the mms settings? This may come in handy to enable mms on my old g1 that my gf is using without a data plan.

I had the same issue, the mms settings helped but something else helped.
Send two sms and two mms to your phone (from yourself) and that fixed it for me.

OH MAN! I just spent 2 hours checking every line and trying every combination. Follow the above instructions about the mms and default APN settings exactly..... REBOOT your phone, then it will work. I didn't reboot and it drove me nuts.

Edit: Nevermind..dumb question. I need to try to get my gf to sign up for the $10 internet plan if it's still available.

for MMS I used just the factory settings.. epc.tmobile.com, etc etc..
However.. I changed the name of it from T-mobile US to T-mobile US-MMS
then down at the bottom where it says APN type.. you type in "mms".. all in lower case letters..
Now simply make a new APN... with the settings
Name T-mobile US
APN internet2.voicestream.com
APN Type "default" (all lower case again)

For the new internet2 apn, we need to know if there's anything that needs to be entered for the other lines.. like proxy, port, mms proxy, mms port, etc..username..password.. that's what we're asking for.

Everything else is blank.

Thanks guys... one last question. Do you guys get internet access with the internet2.voicestream.com apn?

Yes sir
The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters.

Thanks... I need to get my gf to sign up for the $10 web plan if it's still available. She's getting nothing... no internet, and no MMS, which is what she really wants to work.

Has anyone had any problem using a lot of data while on this plan? Will they notice?
I noticed that in the Manage Account Usage page under Recent Usage, with only 244.6/Unlimited minutes, the little bar below it is about 1/4 of the way filled. Is that normal or does that mean that we have a 1 GB softcap now?
The price makes it worth my while to go easy on the data, but I'd still rather watch an episode on hulu every day, if possible.

arg nm it just started working lol.

Anyone here has the Even More Unlimited Web Plan ($10) working here?
I am wondering if it is the same as web2go

I am on an Even More Plus plan and it works.

Confirmed Even More Plan Unlimited Web Plan works great.
I think it's faster than Tzone.

[Q] Droid + Cricket MMS issues

Yes, I know this question has been asked 150,000 times. Yes, I've read the threads. Dozens of times.
I have a Droid 1 on Cricket's $45 plan, and it's working perfectly. Calls, text, data, everything works 100% of the time, except MMS.
I've tried different roms (stock, bugless beast 0.2 and onwards, gpa15, gpa16, gpa17, simplystunning 5.2-.4, liquid gingerbread 2.0-.6, cyanogenmod 6-7, droid concepts, all of them), I've tried greenk45, I've tried xsylus's recommended apn settings + scriptrunner, I've tried the regular cricket APN settings (wap.mycricket.com:8080, 310:004, 310:016, server being * or wap.mycricket.com or mms.mycricket.com etc.) I've tried EVERYTHING.
And no matter what, when I try sending an MMS it just keeps 'sending' forever, and when I send an MMS from another phone or text4free.net, I get a text from 8662742538 saying "Multimedia messages are being sent to your device, but your device doesn't support these messages. Visit your nearest Cricket store for new device options"
I will do ANYTHING. ANYTHING you tell me to do. I will flash any rom, I will type any APN settings, run any script, I don't care what it takes. I just want to receive a single MMS on this otherwise perfectly-working phone.
I've been a C/assembly programmer for 13 years, I'm no stranger to any technical jargon you can throw at me, I just desperately need to know why this unimaginably simple task is impossible to achieve.

Log into your mycricket.com account and check your plan. This just happen to my wife's phone. I changed phones and did a ESN change. It removed "Picure Messaging/text messaging" and replaced it with "text messaging". Therefore you'll get that message when someone sends you an MMS because your phone does not have that feature enabled.
Call cricket and have them provision your phone again. I had to tell them i had a Samsung (cricket phone) and explained that it was flashed to Sprint and back to cricket.

not sure if this applies to cricket but on verizon, i couldn't ever send a mms without setting my data to enabled, if i didn't enable data it would take 399 years

Believe me, it's the account settings. When I did a ESN change a few days ago the system automatically removed Picture/Video. I had to call back and tell them i had a Samsung R560 and refresh my account. Then it showed back up and I no longer get that message when pictures are sent to the phone.

Very interesting! I logged in and only had text messaging, no picture messaging listed. I called 1-800-CRICKET and a lady said everything was now fixed, but still no MMS. Now there's not only no picture messaging listed, but no regular texting either. Seems strange.
Perhaps worst of all, when sending test MMS's from web sites, I'm no longer receiving the dreaded 'your device doesn't support these messages' text from 8662742538 that I used to, now there's no notification of anything whatsoever!
I've posted a screenshot of my current plan settings at the end of this post, can anyone comment? I'll go to the local Cricket shop tomorrow, but I doubt they'll know what's going on - it's a very small shop that doesn't do flashes or anything.
Pic link (can't post links/attachments yet):
i40.tinypic.com/307yefd.png

OK the Cricket store said everything was 100% fine, there was nothing wrong with my plan, and that picture messaging was included. Though if you look in the screenshot, there's still nothing mentioning picture messaging.
Could someone post an (anonymous of course) screenshot of their plan from mycricket.com? Preferably someone on the $45 plan. I just don't understand why it's so difficult to receive MMS messages - if I had a debugger and access to the phone's radio I could figure this out in 5 minutes, the current system seems like nothing but voodoo.

Well nothing changed regarding my last post, and I didn't change any settings on my phone, but now SMS is sending and receiving. No idea why.
APN settings I've had for the past month: Name: Cricket, APN: internet, no proxy, no port, user: (MDN)@mycricket.com, pass: cricket, server: wap.mycricket.com, mmsc: hxxp://mms.mycricket.com/servlets/mms (hxxp changed to allow posting here), no proxy, no port, mcc: 310, mnc: 016, apn type: default,mms. this is all using the dns-based autostart.sh being executed by ScriptRunner.
Also if anyone has trouble with the APN list appearing empty or edited entries disappearing, it's because your build.prop file is listing a different MCC/MNC pair than the APN you've entered - your build.prop probably lists ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric as 310004 or something, so unless the APN matches that (try changing MNC to 016 and watch it disappear), Android decides not to display it.

Have a Messaging Issue

I can send and receive text just fine but when I try to send a pic or receive one I can't.
When I try to send a pic, an animated circular arrows thingy just keeps spinning next to the media I'm trying to send and it never sends it. When I try to receive media, I click on download and it eventually just fails. : (

have you MMS setting in setting - wireless n network - mobile network -access point name - MMS?
if not ask it from your network provider

Hey Doc, this is all new to me so please understand I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean the "APN type" as that I have set to internet + mms
If you meant some other setting, what I did was set everything according to the sticky about getting AT&T on the Note, using the Phone APN etc... I can send and receive texts 123 but not media of any kind it seems. I am on a tiered data plan with AT&T
Do you think I need to call them?

Just like apn, you need apn setting for net, just like that you also need for mms. Normal sms dont need it. You can ask to operator or copy manually from other person having it on note using same network

[Q] OG Droid MMS PagePlus Help

Hello All,
I'm trying to get a stock Verizon OG Droid to work on Pageplus.
I activated it recently and the 3G data and text messaging seems to work just fine but picture messages/mms aren't received nor sent ...
I assume this has something to do with a apn settings or some options, any help would be appreciated
Thanks,
Pete

You have to create a second APN for MMS in addition to the mobile data APN.
You should be able to find the necessary information in the help pages of your provider - or use google.

Interesting thing is i have tried sending that phone smaller pictures and it seems to receive them, can this be a MMS size limit issue ?
How does one resolve this ?
I am not sure if the APN would cure this problem anymore or has anything to do with it...

I'm pretty sure there's a size limit on MMS too.
Usually the picture is resized when attaching it.

Perhaps i should check the APN settings because it seems very flaky still...
I could not find out where the settings are on this phone, can someone point them out to me ?
Thanks,
Pete

Settings > Wireless > Mobile network > APNs > press menu key > select "Add APN"
Something like this - I don't have any stock 2.x devices to check...

[Q] Receiving MMS over 300kb

Hello,
I am not able to get a MMS from anyone when a picture attached is over 300kb. In my options, I can send MMS that are 600kb, 1000kb, and 3500kb. It's currently set to 1000kb. I've attached a screenshot of what happens when someone tries... it just doesn't show a picture there. I can sometimes click the text and hit save picture and view it in my gallery, but that doesn't work all the time.
The red boxes in the screenshot should be showing pictures. Is there a way to fix this?

Go to the messaging app, settings>MMS and make sure auto-retrieve is checked, priority is normal, and the message size is set to 5M. See if that helps.

Auto retrieve was checked. Priority is normal. Message sizes are 600/1000/3500kb. 1000kb was chosen, switched to 3500kb to no avail.

This really depends on the carrier. The limits are set by them not the app. ATT I know has a 600kb limit and I think tmobile is 1mb.

I have ATT. like I mentioned, I can send larger, but can't receive. I don't know why my phone is limiting incoming mms to 300kb

Verify your apn settings, theres probably an error in its settings that are stopping you from receiving mms messages. Check with your carrier and see what the settings should be.

I would check with ATT as that is all done server side. If it was a device issue then you would not be able to get any at all.

I've checked the ATT default, mine matched. I also tried a few others found on this site, with no luck. most of them wouldn't allow any mms to come through or send.
to clarify, I get mms if they're under 300kb.
