[Q] Not getting MMS/data - APN issue?

Hi everyone, I have an AT&T Moto X that hasn't been able to send or receive multimedia messages, and the data connection doesn't work. From what I've read, I believe it's an APN issue. However, I'm hesitant to mess with the settings because it's still on a basic phone plan, with no data. When I upgraded to the X, AT&T never automatically added a data plan. If possible, I really want to keep it this way, as I have no need for data, but would like to get MMS working.
In this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2238660) post #4 says to leave APN Type set to "phone" if you don't have an LTE plan. Is this a way to make MMS work, but not data? Is there a way to do this at all? And can that be done without AT&T recognizing the smartphone and adding a data plan? Any replies are appreciated :highfive:

You need some sort of data to download multimedia. Does it work with Wifi?

You mean a data connection, not plan, right? It doesn't work over wifi. From what I've read, only Sprint allows downloading MMS over wifi, not AT&T.

I have the same problem, data just all of a sudden quit working and I had an LTE connection with no problems since I got the phone in November, same APN's as you on my phone and both always worked. I now get nothing no 2G, 3G, HSPA+ or LTE. SMS and calls still work but no MMS as expected since it requires a data connection. Spent 2 hours with AT&T both online and in store trying to see if it was anything on their end. Tried every APN they could find for the MotoX, about 4 or 5 different ones they came up with, even tried a new SIM card and still nothing. I did a factory reset last night in desperation and still no data so I finally RMA'd the phone with Motorolla tech support and the new (refurbished) one should arrive tomorrow. We'll see if that fixes it.

You had to send it back? Oh wow. Please post an update when you get your new phone or get it figured out. Thanks for the response!!

Not sure if this is the issue, but AT&T's own site says that the MMSC url should be: http://mmsc.cingular.com
You may give that a shot.
Additionally, from what I understand, MMS is ONLY transmitted through either EDGE, HSPA, HSPA+, or LTE
If you don't have data at all, I'm not sure if you can even send or receive MMS.
Good Luck

Time for a very late update, in case anyone else has this issue. I did finally get my data working, using the 3G APN settings on this page: (first result when you google "att apn settings", I can't post links yet)
Now, I mentioned in my first post that I really only wanted mms, so what I did was make two new APNs - one a copy of my original, non-working APN, but with APN type changed to only "default", and I selected this one. The second APN is the settings from the link above, but with APN type changed to only "mms". So now when I have data turned on, only mms works, not any other mobile data. AT&T still hasn't recognized the smartphone on the account and thus hasn't forced me to add a data plan.

Droid 4 LTE APN settings

I was messing around trying to get LTE to work again and I am hoping it is simply an APN fix. Can someone give me the correct APN settings for Verizon?

stock jellybean?

think it's unlikely an apn issue
my full apn file made with APN Backup & Restore
apn app needs to be moved to /system/pri-app if you want to restore my apns-20140822120801.xml (remove .txt from file name)
from Slim 4.4 build 7.0

Just restored your apns but it only picks up 3G

open dialer
dial
Code:
*#*#4636#*#*
(when you press the last *, testing menu will open)
select phone information
scroll down to
set prefered network type
is LTE/CDMA/EvDo selected?

Just checked and LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) was what it was on. LTE/CDMA auto (PRL) is the closest.

It seems that every time the APN will reset to EHRPD - Verizon Internet. If I try to select the LTE internet option it doesn't even pick up a data signal, and then goes back to EHRPD.

im using CM11 M9 and i have my network type set to
CDMA+LTE/EvDo
my APN is
LTE - Verizon Internet
Name: LTE - Verizon internet
APN: VZWINTERNET
Proxy: not set
Port: not set
username: not set
password: not set
server: not set
MMSC: not set
MMS proxy: not set
MMS port: not set
MCC: 311
MNC: 480
Authentication type: not set
APN type: default,dun
APN protocol: IPv4/IPv6
APN roaming protocol: IPv4/IPv6
APN enable/disable: enabled (greyed out with box checked)
Bearer: LTE
MVNO type: none
MVNO value: not set
a few notes for me: whenever i try to switch to CDMA/EvDo auto (3g) it doesnt connect to data until i turn on wifi or set airplane mode for at least 30 minutes then re-enable the radio. if the connection drops for whatever reason i have to redo this step so im better off leaving LTE on all the time because its way more reliable than 3g which is really weird in my opinion and im not sure if its the rom that causes the problem since i installed cm11 as soon as i got this phone

So should I try to set that APN and then put it in airplane mode for an hour or so?

did you try and go into your apn and updated it? google search ATT APN and a crap ton will come up... just edit that and you should be fine

Try this, this is straight from the ATT support.
Name- ATT Phone
APN -phone
Proxy- Not set
Port- Not set
Username- Not set
Password- Not set
Server- Not set
MMSC- http:/ /mmsc.mobile.att. net (no spacing in between)
MMS proxy- proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS port- 80
MCC- 310
MNC- 410
Authentication Type- None
APN type- default,mms,supl,hipri
APN protocol- IPv4
Bearer- Unspecified
Also check if you have the compatible sim card using the info below.
-If the ninth and tenth digits of the SIM number are 25, 26, 27 or 28, your SIM card is compatible.
- If the ninth and tenth digits are 21, 22, 23 or 24 you need a new SIM card.

[Q] Tmo Note 4 on MetroPCS. No data on 4G vs 4G+LTE

It seems like my phone is constantly switching between 4G (no data) to Edge (no data) to 4G+LTE (regular data). I would think it's just cruddy coverage except it seems to switch between the three modes when sitting in one place, and sometimes it will lose data altogether and it won't come back until I reboot.
My APN settings match what is online for metropcs. I tried selecting "automatic" in the menu that comes up when you dial *#2263# but it doesn't seem to have made a difference.
Any ideas how I can get a more stable LTE connection?

I would go to Metro PCS and have a new Sim installed and have them refresh the features on your account/ device.
A Tmobile phone on Metro should perform almost like a Native Metro Phone ( Metro has no Note 4 )-

Nexus 6 on Visible Wireless (Verizon Network), Inetnet working, no calls msg yet.

Hi Can anyone give some tips getting the nexus 6 working on Visible Wireless. It supports Volt and Verizon and wifi calling. I have gotten internet working. My phone is a stock verizon release unrooted. I have add the other APNs with an app because verizon locked the add and edit of some of the APN data. I cant believe you guys filter the vtext.com URL for users posting apns.
Here are the APNs I know of for visible in case someone had corrections.

Maybe the hidden menu can tell you something: *#*#4636#*#*
VoLTE and WiFi-calling require some hidden settings that are not supposed to be changed by the user.
Here is a thread about changing them on OnePlus, but I don't think you can do it on a Nexus: https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...volte-vowifi-german-carriers-t3817542/page141
Also, some phone companies check the phone model, and only enable it on the models they support. Maybe customer support can unblock for you.

Volte is on in that menu and works on regular verizon fine. Also I have tried LTE only mode since visible is supposedly only 4G. If anyone has gotten more than data working with Visible Wireless on the NEXUS 6 please let me know. I did have flash in and out of airplane mode after the reboot to get data to work. Thanks for reading my post and replying. I will look into the 801 code more. Also the http vtext.com servlests mms is missing on two of the APNs from my original post due to the forum restrictions for new posters so sorry that piece is missnig for anyone testing.

I can't enter more than one APN on my Nexus 6. With VSBLINTERNET APN, I can only use data. *#*#4636#*#* reports "emergency calls only." Has anyone been able to somehow force multiple APNs? Anyone able to get network calls to work?

I've tried very hard, including on multiple ROMs including stock without success. On the stock ROM I was able to add the VSBLINTERNET APN manually and use data, but never calls. If desperate you could always get a VoIP provider (Google Voice didn't seem to work for some reason.)
