[Q] nTelos mms info?

Anyone have any info on getting mms to work on an nTelos hero? I've been trying to figure it out for a while, but having very minimal knowledge of how it all works, i haven't gotten very far.
Ive tried the fix that was used on 2.1, ive tried editing apn/mms(?) settings from a sense rom with the #data## or whatever, and ive tried backing up the apns from the stock nTelos rom and restoring them, and none of those worked. (ive been using either cm6 froyo or the aosp/cm7 gb roms)
right now im using the stock rom from nTelos, so im assuming i have access to all the information i would need, i just need to be pointed in the right direction.
also, i figured, since there isnt much info out there for nTelos hero users, it might be nice to have some conclusive, updated info for others with nTelos.
Thanks in advance for any info!

You have to get the correct APN (Access Point Name) for your provider to make data/MMS to work, you should not require the XT883 firmware. Just try google with your SIM provider followed by APN settings.. such as "Orange UK APN Settings" or check their website, or give them a call for the correct APN settings. Some SIMs have the APNs locked into the SIM, some of them do not include APNs (You might check a phone from the SIM provider for the APN).
When you find the correct settings, go to Settings > Wireless & Network settings > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names
Create a new APN and enter the info you found. Also check Battery & Data Manager > Data delivery to ensure data is enabled.

I personally use MavRom (Maverick Rom) version 4.0, as version 4.5 has a battery drain issue with the overclock script. It's based on 906 with modifications and tweaks.

so i was going through this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406812 for flashing xt883 radio on my phone as the reception is very bad i had a few doubts
1) do you connect your phone to the pc while doing this
2) do you download root explorer on your phone from the app store and are there any free ones
3) and how do you go about doing this ( Use root explorer to push the build.prop into the system folder )
i am very sorry for being such a noob, its my first android phone

On Stock and Blur based roms, there's a little line in the build.prop that Verizon snuck in.. that makes any GSM network appear to have bad reception (only 1~2 bars) but if you check under status, the reception is actually good. You can fix that by editing this line in build.prop;
ro.mot.phonemode.vzwglobalphone=1
Change the 1 to 0 and save, then reboot, this should fix the 'reception issue'
A free root browser would be JRummy's Root browser lite, or ES File Explorer (you can enable root browsing in settings).
Build.prop is in /system
IF YOU INSIST ON FLASHING XT883 (Only required for using AT&T/T-Mobile/Other USA GSM networks)
Open a root browser; copy the build.prop you have to the SDCard or somewhere safe. Copy the build.prop (after you edit the line I mentioned before on the PC, you can use notepad). After you put it in /system MAKE SURE YOU FIX THE PERMISSIONS. Most root browsers just long-press build.prop, then tap permissions (ES is Properties > permissions) Check only Read (on all three, user, other, etc) and Write on Owner ONLY.
Then use the fastboot instructions to flash the XT883 radio. THIS WILL BREAK VERIZON CDMA.

1)go to the file /data/data/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
Open it on any database editor(for example - X-plore), then go on the section settings and look for the "entitlement_check" field and change its value to 0 or default.
2)Some says also you have set your access point(apn), change apn type to - default,tether
I did it, and I can connect to my hotspot but there aren't any internet.

I had the same symptom, connect to hotspot but no internet access until I did this:

Full instruction:
How to revive Hotspot
Install the sqlite and go to Settings Storage -> settings.db -> settings
Change the field
a) entitlement_check -> 0
b) dun_apn_changeable -> 1
In the setting of apn, type apn -> default,dun,supl
Enjoy

My Cellphone model is MB886 and it is runnin android 4.1.1. I am unable to find the settings storage using the SQlite. Any ideas why ?
My problem I will again regurgigate is that whenever I turn on mobile hotspot it says you have to first make an account on ATT&T, same is the case with all other tethring.

[FIXED] Problem APN setting on 4.2.2 roms

For those who travels outside the country.
I upgraded to 4.2.2 on my phone. Now I'm deploying in Afghanistan, bought a Roshan SIM card from a local shop for $2. I couldn't get the phone to connect to mobile network, or internet and couldn't access APN mode from the settings. I've tried to upgrade different ROMs 4.2.2 with same issue.
Resolve:
Phone must be rooted
- open and edit file /system/build.prop
- look for these lines:
- telephony.rilV7NeedCDMALTEPhone ...... set = false, or disable the line with #
- gsm.current.phone-type ...... set 0=none, 1=gsm, or disable the line with #
- reboot the phone.
Addition note:
To edit APN setting file manually; /system/etc/apns-conf.xml

thanks a lot for that, i just use xt925's roms and it work, but this will give me the opportunity to try all roms , thanks again.

I did this and nothing changed in the Mobile Network Settings. I've only tried this in the CM10 Nightly 4.2.2 by Skrilax.
What else is necessary to achieve an APN Settings section in 4.2.2? THANKS

on xenon hd rom, you will find the access points in settings, if you dont want try xenon, then download APN backup application from play store, most of them will open the APN settings for you

Can you open APN setting on Mobile Network Setting?
Also you edit APN setting manually /system/etc/apns-conf.xml

I tried to perform the procedure on my razr hd xt925, because my 4g is not working, and after making changes the cell did not. Did anyone have a build.prop Brazil retail that I can simply copy and paste in my razr?

[SOLVED] Problem: APN disappearing

Hello to everybody. I'm italian and I have a problem with my XT890 stock (booloader locked, android 4.1.2, system version 91.2.26001.XT890.Retail.en.EU) and sim card by italian operator Noverca. Noverca is a Full Mobile Virtual Network Operator, MMC 222 MNC 07, working in roaming with TIM (222-01).
When I enter my sim Noverca, on phone: menu> Setup> Other> Mobile Networks> Access Point Names> APN cannot find any access point. If I try to create one ... > New APN> Edit access point> (insert the parameters provided by my operator)> ... > Save, the new APN created by me is not saved and the list of APN available is always empty. Similarly if I receive a message from my operator self-configuring and save these settings, I see a pop-up that the configuration was successful but when I go to see the list of APN find it empty again.
I tried to configure it with the data on and off, data roaming , but always no results. The problem also doesn't occur with sim of other carriers.
The sim card is new and works fine on my other Android phones (RAZR XT910, Galaxy i5800), making right APNs.
In system/etc/ apns-conf.xml file there is written the configuration for my carrier but it's wrong (there is written MMC 222 MNC 01)!
I contacted Motorola XT890 but the answer is that it was not released in Italy and may have compatibility issues. (But in Germany, France and UK has been released and the gsm/wcdma networks are the same as in Italy!)
Thank you for helping.

Same happens to me. Try reseting apn to default and edit the config that should appear.

Thanks but in my case doesn't work. Also at the reboot there isn't any apn saved.

I solved this problem unlocking the bootloader and making Root.
After I went to system/etc and renamed apns-conf.xml in apn-conf.bak (only to have a backup, i could delete the file and it was the same).
Then I went to menu> Setup> Other> Mobile Networks> Access Point Names and resetted APN to default.
Now I can write my carrier's APNs and they are saved without disappearing.
