ATT Tilt MMS Issues...

I've got a strange/annoying issue dealing with MMS messaging on my new Tilt.
Current goodies on the Tilt:
ROM: ShogunMark's Deathv4.1
3.55.502.1 WWE (6/15/08)
Radio: 1.65.20.29
SPL: HardSPL-3.56
As far as I can tell, I have all the current ATT network settings. I can send MMS messages, and anyone can receive them. I can send MMS to myself, and I can receive that. Another user on ATT can send me MMS. And I can send MMS to myself from my desktop email (using [email protected]). People on other networks (T-Mobile, Verizon, and Sprint that I've tested so far) cannot send me MMS. On their end, it shows everything being sent just fine, and they don't get any error messages. But I never receive the messages. Not even if they send the MMS to my phone's email addy from their device.
I talked to ATT support yesterday trying to verify the network settings, and the support rep couldn't even find what settings I was supposed to have. Though he did identify that a MMS enabled flag on my account was set to NO. He set that to yes, I reset the phone and reconnected to ATT.... and I still have the same issue. That network setting didn't seem to change anything.
I've read all the threads I can find about MMS issues, and none of them address this problem (at least that I can see).
At any rate, my current MMS server settings are as follows. Can anyone verify these for me?
Server name: AT&T MMS
Gateway: wireless.cingular.com
Port number: 80
Server address: http://mmsc.cingular.com
Connect via: MEdia Net
Send limit: 1200K
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
John

similar problem
I have an att tilt and gullums throttle diamond I multi language rom...i installed arcsoft latest version and now i have the menu and mms options under the menu tab in messaging and can send mms now but not receive....ive also tried installing the MMS medianet settings cabs posted another thread and still cannot receive ..ive also tried sending msgs to myself which does not work but if i reply to one of my own mms messages that i tried to send and select mms (you can select mms or sms options to reply) and then i can receive one of my own but this is the only message i am able to receive.

It ended up that the MMS flag on my account (that the support rep reset) was the culprit (I think). Two days after he made the change, I received a whole mess of media messages. Since then, I've had no problems at all, even going through several different ROMs.
Give ATT support a ring and see if they can figure anything out.

[Q] Cant send and recieve photo messages MMS

Hi
I am having trouble sending an recieving photo messages, i am on orange payg and have just spent 30min talking to them and they dont know thr reason why.
My APN settings are
Name Orange MMS
APN orangemms
Proxy not set
Port not set
User Name Orange
Password Multimedia
Server not set
MMSC ://mms.orange.co.uk (has http before it)
MMS Proxy 192.168.224.10
MMS Port 8080
MCC 234
MNC 33
Authentication type PAP
APN type mms
Is there anything wrong with this???

Have you tried selecting the 'Auto-retrieve' and 'Roaming auto-retrieve' in: Messaging > Settings > (scroll down) Multimedia message settings? As for sending, try enabling 'Data roaming' in Mobile network settings. I am thinking that because Orange/T-mobile have merged, maybe you are trying to send/receive the message over the old T-Mobile network. Just a thought. Hope it works for you.

I've got the same settings as you, except one minor difference, I have a / at the end of the mmsc (ie http://mms.orange.co.uk/)

I have exactly the same problem and have also tried phoning Orange. They just talked me through the settings but I was already set up correctly. Very annoying! I would love to hear of a solution to this problem.

I can confirm that this problem has been around for me long before the merger, basically since I got my phone back in July.
@FloridaK - I also have the slash at the end, but it's not working.

What is up with Bell's APN?

Ive been trying to use my Captivate with Bell. (Eclair, 2.1-update 1 from Odin)
I found the APN settings on Bell's site and they were forwarded to me by a tech support rep as well. In the "MMSC" box I am instructed to input this:
MMSC: 5778154
<a URL I'm guessing to be a server on the next line>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'm sorry if it doesnt make a lot of sense but I can't post any links or images. The phone only gives me a one line text box for each value and no enter/return to put an extra line. Ive tried to input one or the other, tried adding spaces, ETC and I can't figure out a way to input this MMSC information. When I asked what the number meant and if it was entirely relevant (I could possibly just use the server?) The girl on the phone just kept saying "we don't support that" over and over again, and kept asking me to call Samsung.
Has anyone else successfully used a Captivate with Bell? If so, what does your APN settings look like? Thank you!

APN1: pda2.bell.ca

Additionally I used my captivate with my buddies Bell SIM card with no issues using the above settings

[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.

Major MMS issue. Please assist.

Hi everyone. I've had the HTC One through T-Mobile since the first few weeks of its release. One of the best features about it is Group MMS. That way I can be in a group chat with most of my friends who have iPhones. It was working flawlessly on both a stock T-Mobile ROM, and Android Revolution 8.0. About two weeks ago my friends kept telling me some of my messages were coming in as blank. I was able to see my own messages and I was able to see all of their messages in group form.
I would reboot my phone, and occasionally I would send a message that would be readable. I wasn't sure what was going on. I had T-Mobile reset my SIM card info from their end, I removed my SIM card, etc. That didn't fix it.
I also wiped my device completely last night. Installed a 4.3 ROM (InsertCoin) thinking it was going to remedy the situation. But no...I am still sending blank messages.
What could be the issue here? Why would this stop working out of the blue, and wiping doesn't fix the situation!
Normal SMS is fine!
Please help!

I will try, but why would it just stop working out of nowhere? I also stated I reset it to factory settings as well, and even tried a new ROM. I didn't alter APN settings.
Edit: Just checked, APN settings are correct.

IDK, The only thing I know, is that I had this issue with my One X last year just after going from stock rom to cyanogenmod. no mms and sms working fine. I deleted my APN and created a new with correct info (mine from Rogers) and everything were working again.
Maybe flashing rom erase apn settings? idk. Just try, its very simple to check before going deeper.

Nope, I checked. The APN settings are there, locked, not able to be changed, and are correct.
Like I said, Group MMS works. I can see everyone's messages in the group. It's when I send one that it works on and off. This only started happening a few weeks ago. It was perfect for months.

It seems like I'm not the only one...
Anyone know what to do about this???????

the second to last post in that thread has a suggestion. Install the new Hangouts app with SMS integration and you'll be all set. Then you'll be used to it when we get our 4.4 update (or when Hangouts updates from it's 4.3 version, whichever is first)

I don't want to use third party apps (even though it's Google).
I should be able to use the stock messaging app like I've been using for months.
