there is only WAP/GPRS APN. Do I need to contact my service provider for the MMS settings ?

from what i remember of mms i think you do
some service providers use a different one for mms to your normal browsing
others use one for everything so it doesn't affect your settings

does using tzone proxy affect mms?

ok im using tzones proxy. works fine. im also using open touch 5ul. my sms works fine. but cant receive or send mms. i notice mms messages go through the net or wateva. being i changed my settings to work with proxy is this affecting my mms? any help would be appreciated. im using my phone now to type this
yes it will affect your mms but there is a quick fix. all you need to do is create a new mms.. then press menu and go to options... from their it is going to go to all your accts and select mms then go to settings. you will hten have to change the internet settings to default and use t-mobile data... that is if and only if you are using T-moble.. for all other network providers im not positive how it works... if you have any problems let me know..
r u saying create a new mms text? am i suppose to send it? my sms and mms are in the same folder. for some reason i cant access my mms options. i tried several weeks ago when i tried to do the mms hack but could never access mms options and still cant under the regular inbox screen. thanks for the help. also do i still need my text plan or online mms uses the data part? thanks
ok i removed mms in the registry and reinstall it. i dont mms options no more but my mms and sms is separate. i now can access mms configuration where i see servers? is there where i should be puttin something to get mms workin with my tzone? thank u
i end up finding wat i was lookin 4.

Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS)

Hello. I got cingular 8125 with faria crossbow ROM. I just recently start using messaging (sms) on it. sms working fine, but I have tried to receive mms, I got it in my inbox, but when I try to download it nothing happens or maybe I’m looking in wrong place for downloaded pictures and videos. There is it downloading it? When i send mms nothing happened, nobody receives them. Any advices?
I appreciate any help in advance.

Did you try configuring your MMS according to your Operator's Settings?? You first need to configure your MMS settings while its not that wih your SMS so first try configuring ur MMS pls. TC

Probably your MMS account is missing the right configuration.
Please tell us what's your operator?
Maybe someone local can give you the right MMS settings.
it is cingular or new at&t now.
thanks
im not sure where mms setings are, too...
Excuse me my stupidity, but apparently I have to have internet hooked up to my phone aka data plan. Well I didn’t know that , so scratch my question.
Thank you all for help.

You should not need to have a data plan for mms, just for data. they charge you for text and mms separately from data, right?
What you need is to search: "network wizard cab" Or "HTC Connection Setup" (which is HUGE and unnessesary in my opinion). Faria did not cook that into the rom. I do not think it was available then. It configures data and MMS settings in just about all the new roms.
sorry i took me so long to try it and ansver. so i got network wizard cab and instoled it to my phone, mms gose wright to my ssm, geves me a link to download, but when i try to download it i get error mesage.
any ideas?
is there special network wizard cab for every phone, or it works for all of them?
error mesge:
A networking error(0x1501)has occerred.
This colud be cased by a voice call, a wired
ActiveSync connection, or some other
network problem. Plesee try again.

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

i dont have sprint but you could try this instead of what i use. i read sprint is more difficult
http://63.215.195.152/servlets/mms?X-SPRINT-MDN=(10 digit phone number)
if that dont work, here is a thread for mms sprint android discussion

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.
Touch pro 2#&$%% my bad lol

You can receive? But can't send? Sounds strange. Make sure your entering your phone number in the MMSC field as 1234567890 not <1234567890> thats what I was doing wrong initially. Can you post a link to the tp2 thread you are reffering to...I've seen a few but none mentoined any setting besides the ones already listed in this thread.
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.

Me too. I've tried this method before and never had any luck sending or receiving. Its the only thing I miss from WinMo.

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. I have sending os pic messages working on VZW using the settings listed below . Receiving does not work.

I believe the MNC needs to be 995 also.

The password in winmo was vzw. I've tried it but it didn't work for me but you can try.
I have no APN's currently listed but all my data and pic message sending works.

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

MMS fix for boost mobile

Okay I may have a mms fix for boost, but it is in .cab format and I'm not sure how or if I can use it. any ideas will help.
APN Settings for MMS on Boost
I'm currently running Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo 2.2 [Deodexed] [RLS12] on my Vogue, on Boost Mobile's network, and I am able to send MMS by attaching picture files in text messaging. The only settings I changed were in the default APN:
MMSC: mm.myboostmobile.com (add http: and // in front. Since this is my first post I'm not allowed to post URLs )
MMS port: 80
No other changes to the APN settings are necessary to send MMS.
I'm pretty sure that it's impossible to receive an actual MMS on Boost's network. You will get the text message with a link to the Media Mail page (which never works, at least for me).

yea i think we would need a media mail app to do so. I have the same issue on my sprint hero. I just visit mediamail.boostmobile.com to view my messages from my phone.
my evo works perfect on sense but when i flash to cyanogen i cannot send mms... im on boostmobile

Can you share your cab? I'd like to try and could prolly use it, since I'm running a Touch Pro2 WinMo 6.5 and XDAndroid. Thanks
Can someone please help me? I used the mm.myboostmobile.com and get a 'error-permanent-system failure' when getting receiving pic mail but could send. Also, my hubby who uses a Boost BB gets a blank message. So I used pcs-boost-mmsc-submit.sun3.lightsurf.net. and I was able to not send media mail but receive it without any problems. I have an energy ROM and using the Arcsoft MMS version you have above. This is so ridiculous. Do I have to use mms program specially for my Sense Energy CRX ROM or what? I do not understand what's wrong with this? Is it because I have an Energy ROM?
Text and picture message on BoostMobile
Text and picture messaging on BoostMobile is no longer working. Anyone out there has a fix for it?
"mm.myboostmobile.com" is no longer working.

Just keep waiting and testing it out, it's not device specific it appears to be network and location specific, read more here: "http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php/1721560-New-Boost-Mobile-MMS-Settings"
I haven't had a chance to dig my vogue out and try this, but I was thinking you guys might want to grap the mms.apk file from the shabbymod Rom for the Prevails and see if allows MMS texts to pass on through as normal.

can't send MMS?

in my AP settings, i have
1 AP
name: mms
apn: wap.voicestream.com
username: mms
password: mms
mmsc: 216.155.174.84/servlets/mmsservlets/mms
mms proxy: 216.155.165.050
mms port: 8080
mcc: 310
mnc: 260
apn type: mms
i can receive mms but cant send. any ideas?
note: i have no data but want to send/receive mms. use wifi for internet.
oh also using t-mobile
I have the same prob. I am not sure how to fix it. I am scared to call TMo b/c I have the $9.99 internet plan. I don't want to get busted and have to pay for the data $$ plan.
lol i dont even have an internet plan. xD some said to call tmobile to ask for the settings but yah i have the same fear as u do
i had the same problem.. i called tmo and they tried everything in their power to help me.. hahaha yea right! lol but anyways, they really did try to help but nothing worked.. i could receive them but couldnt send them..
*** I fixed this issue =]].. if you have the sms app handcent ***
click on it, hit the menu button, got to settings, hit send message settings, scroll down to "maximum mms size" choose 300K... by default it would say 1M, thats too big for most phones..
it worked for me, hopefully you too =]]
tried handcent. tried imageshrink lite. no workie still =[
My situation is a little different.
I can send and receive to all my family and friends. Except one friend.
He can send, and I can receive.
But I can't send him any MMS. They show up as blank.

Android resizes to send mms on the nexus but it doesn't make it small enough for a lot of phones like the iPhone, I can't send mms to my friends with iPhones. I don't know whether android just hates apple that much or whether android just didn't think sending mms was near the top of their customers' lists. Android can be really out of touch alot of the time. But you can use a third party app to send mms. I feel like a jackass to have to tell you to get a third party app to perform on your "super"phone what for all other "smart"phones is a basic function, but that's android for you. Maybe when they fix the ui theyll add a function that lets us send mms to the most popular phone in America.

I was able to send MMS to everyone, without issues. This only happened when I went Froyo.
I had the same problem when sending mms to AT&T people using default messenging. Switched over to handcent and it worked
been trying different sizes on handcent. even down to 100k. no workie still. =/ is this a froyo prob or just me?
I resized as well. It will not work for me. I just email it to send something.
I have the same proble....i receive the picture message and when I try to download it says downloading and then nothing happens and the download button appears again
Same exact issue here.
