OK, I'm a pretty technical guy and I'm still stumped. I've tried entering the T-Mobile provided info into EZ WAP but am obviously not mapping their connection settings info to the right fields in EZ WAP. AFter a couple of hours of tinkering and several searches here I'm caving in and asking for help.
Can somone post the "play by play" EZ WAP setup for T-Mo US?

what info did they give you?... When i calld, they gave me the run-around...plus I tried to ask them why I can't connect threw "internet2.voicetream.com"... & they sound like they gettin mad @ me, an start askin why I need to know all this...
...TMO needs an attitude adjustment
Unfortunately, I agree that the carrier's data specialists are often little or no help. Every question you ask, it turns out that they either:
a. Don't know
b. Pretend to know and give you the wrong answer
c. Assume you're with the Taliban and are trying to break in to their WAP system to threaten civilization
I got the T-Mo official settings at:
http://www.t-mobile.com/help/services/tz/configother.asp
and they are echoed at:
http://www.theody.com/t-mobile.html
Again, the info on these pages doesn't map directly into the connection settings on the PPC or to the settings in EZ WAP. I tries a few intuitive mappings and failed.

Qman, you indeed are the eggman, you are the walrus, you are the eggman, koo-koo-kachoo. (Is that the xda-developers accepted spelling of koo-koo-kachoo?) :^)
I was pulling my hair out on this and have never found any of these settings you spelled out here or on any T-Mo site. It took a few minutes for you to type all that in and I appreciate it.
I was live on T-Zones about 5 minutes after I saw your reply, working perfectly.
Interesting observation, maybe it's an error on my part... I tried your settings in EZ WAP, but connecting through my usual internet2.xxx and the T-Zones stuff wouldn't come up. Other wap sites in EZ WAP would, like yahoo, but not T-Zones. I created a connection called WAP (like you used in your example) and made the APN wap.xxx and it works fine, AND nPOP pulled my mail through it to.
So I'm curious if these statements are true:
1. You can pull WAP and http/smtp through internet2.voicestream.com, but not necessarily T-Mobile's proprietary T-Zones WAP.
2. You can pull WAP, http/smtp, and T-Zones through wap.voicestream.com
If these are true, then I assume that wap.xxx and internet2.xxx are functionaly the same except that wap.xxx gateway has the t-zones subscriber authentication built into it, rather than on the content server.
Since my GPRS connection is always on, I don't want to have to switch connections between wap and nPOP/web sessions, would prefer to stay with one.
@Mad Max
I'm pretty sure your assumption abut that wap.xxx and internet2.xxx functionally are correct and thats why the wap.voicestream AP is my all around AP of choice (its my main T-Mobile AP).
FYI before upgrading to WM2003 the wap AP was also the only AP that would work with Pocket Hotmail 2.0, which now doen't work at all under WM2003. :evil:
Anyhow have fun!
anyone got the ATTWS Settings for this?
MMS and Tmobile US with XDA II
I finally received my XDA II this afternoon.. I have spent most of my afternoon trying to fix this MMS thing. I have used the base software, added EZWap 2.5... Tried every configuration.. Call the useless bozos on Tmobile but couldnt get this darn MMS thing to work...
Can someone please answer my 2 questions
1) What settings do you need with TMO?
2) What plans do you need with TMO?
19.99 All internet + 2.99 + 4.99 etc
Thanks
my MMS works fine, on 2002.
and though i have the internet from tmobile ($19)
goin about it via the wap.voicestream.com works just as good
for browsing net, and using tzones, and mms ofcourse.
the only drawback i hear, is you cant use secure servers on wap.
although i've checked my INBOX several times via wap, and it worked just fine for me.
check your settings from Qman again.
you maybe one digit off.
good luck.
ps: after you set it, if you want to test the mms, give me a buzz.
Hmm...
It is interesting, in my case the Pocket Internet Explorer works.. MMS doesnt and the EZWAP doesnt work...
It is bizzare... I have checked and rechecked each setup as provided by QMAN twice.. Had another person verify it for me...

If you're sure that the settings are OK, my next suspect would be an account setting issue. Unfortunately, getting help from the carriers in debugging that could be pretty tough.

more on the Xda ii. I am posting this message from the XDA. I still cannot send or receive MMS. I had a friend of mine send me a MMS and he got a error message that my phone cannot receive MMS and that a text message would be sent.
I received a notification about the MMS but couldn't retrieve it.
any suggestions
Finally got it working
Finally got it working... There was a MMS Server setting on the network that was missing and took me 18 calls and 95 minutes on the phone with TMobile to get it right.
I can now receive and send MMS to myself.. Looks like the MMS in TMO US is limited to TMO US customers only. I can only send MMS to other TMO US customers.

What was the MMS server name? I'm in Austin, TX, just got a iMate XDA II and can't get my MMS working either.
Do you have to have a plan for MMS? I have the $20 internet already.
What parameters settings do you need in MMS Composer?
What parameter setting do you need in My ISP connection?
Thanks so much,
Craig

I have the unlimited MMS for 4.99 you will need that to send MMS. My MMS settings are all the same. I also have the unlimited WAP for 2.99 and I use the wap.voicestream.net for MMS...
MMS
I talked with T-Mobile. Since I already had the internet access service, T-Zones is already enabled. They said all I need for MMS is T-Zones. I set the right server, ip, etc. I could never receive a MMS picture message to myself. All that came through was the text portion witha download link to tap. Tapping it just brought another text header message. TMO was no help either. Afterwards, ALL my alerts (weather, sticks) started coming to my MMS but I couldn't read anything. I finally had to call TMO to have them remove my phone # off the wap server for t-zones to stop MMS and resume SMS messaging.
Any thoughts on this chain of events?
mms config telfort
got an xda1 with a custom rom, offcourse is there no autoconfig, i can't find the settings for mms in holland (telfort)
you need to install EzWAP 2.5 or its equivilant.
that will add MMS to xda1

Softbank MMS on Hero Android
Hello,
Exactly same problem here. The basic keys to solution are listed below
1.
I have hear from here that the problem can be fixed by setting up and using your own proxy server. I would gladly set this up and share with others, just do not know how.
2.
Another important thing is to forge User Agent - I have done so using HandcentSMS (free on android market), but still no luck
3.
it is necessary to setup APN properly. Currently I do not know wether I have to merge FlatRate Internet and MMS into a single APN or have separate APNs for Internet and MMS.
4. Anything else???
Anyone solved the MMS problem with Softbank so far?

Which type of USIM card are you using?
In my case, I am using iPhone Black USIM card & cyanogen MOD.
And it works perfect. Of course I set up my APN as of iPhone.
In my test and experience, UA setting is very sensitive.
Wrong UA, NO mms.
Proper UA for your USIM card, MMS is there.
Good luck.
Hey guys,
I'm on Softbank as well.. so far no problems sending MMS but have had problems receiving MMS on several occasions.. I can accept MMS from other Softbank numbers, and in most cases, emails from other providers (@softbank, @docomo, @ezweb, etc). But there have been problems receiving from webmails such as Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, etc.. The MMS notification arrives, but when it actually downloads the messages, it's empty.. meaning a blank message from Anonymous.. Occasionally, I do have problems with emails that are in Japanese..
I've merged both FlatRate Internet and MMS APN settings into one APN and haven't had any problems with it as far data transfers and MMS is concerned.. but, I've only used this settings for a month, and at the moment, the FlatRate Internet seems to be working.. I'll have to check next month's bill to be sure..
I'm using the old Vodafone USIM (been here a while) with HT-03A Black on CyanogenMod 4.2.9.1 with UA set as 705NK.. the ones provided in the CM build didn't seem to work as well..

hi
i have a nokia e51 unlocked - about three months ago when i first got it i managed to set up all the apn stuff ok and then after a couple of weeks the mms stopped working with an error message like mms server refused message.
i entered a different apn setting and it worked fine:
??” MMS ??” server: open.softbank.ne.jp
user: opensoftbank
pass: ebMNuX1FIHg9d3DA authentication:
Normal home page: http://mms/
proxy server address: mmsopen.softbank.ne.jp
proxy server nunber: 8080
but today it stopped working again - i cant send mms messages - just says waiting and retry.
has this happened to anyone else? none of the other apn settings i've found and used for mms work.
many thanks in advance for any info.
web browsing is fine using:

I am using G1 and I am on Airtel Mumbai.
I have mobile office GPRS.
All I have done is entering APN as airtelgprs.com and all other values as blank and I have my GPRS.....
Couldn't this just have gone in the Big APN Thread?

Hey.... getting the MMS working was my challenge...
Internet just needs the airtelgprs.com APN.
I did not put this in the APN Big thread as there are many users searching for Airtel APN in India and if this becomes a part of a big thread then google would not be able to index it.

Hey your welcome...I had a tough time searching so thought of putting it up so others can get it easily.
Wanted to add one point to my post:
If you have added the APN for Airtelgprs.com and then after exiting the settings add the MMS it sometime wont work on G1. Delete all APN`s and then add both one after other.
Thanks a lot...These settings are useful for iPhone as well.
Hello all,
I've just returned from 3 weeks in India and I used my AirTel SIM card (Rajasthan-sourced) in Jaipur, Agra, Delhi, Cochin, Bangluru, Goa, Mumbai and on many trains.
It worked very well and had excellent coverage. Pretty cheap, too!
Had a devil of a time getting it all started though. Luckily I had a WM6.5 phone that allowed me to use SMS help since the 121 HelpLine was more than USELESS! (English tree prompts kept hanging up on me). Turned out the shop I bought the sim card from neglected to turn on GPRS...
WM6.5 and SMS menus and I had it going in a few minutes.
GPRS activation was the key...
All I put in for the APN was airtelgprs.com and just named it India!
Good luck all.

1)If you have email working now, then it will work whenever you have a data connection.
2)I'm guessing you're going to have to pay for data
3) What does GPS have to do with with EDGE? The google maps application will be able to download the map tiles on whatever connection you have, be it GPRS, EDGE or 3G.
ok thanks a lot..
eagerly waiting for my g1
3g has been just introduced here and data plans are sick vvv costly as of now..
3g n/w has not been alotted to private firms as yet..

GPRS needs to be activated and Airtel has Edge i dont have idea about Vodafone.
Gmail will be setup automatically and so will gtalk.
For MSN and Yahoo you need to download a 3rd Party app.
To configure any pop3 email it has easy steps to configure.
PM me if u need ne help
Oh thanks a lot will need your help later...

Dont play with the Customs Roms without reading the steps.
Follow the steps do ur homework before u start playing the the ROMS
THANKS Mate! You posted these steps back in 2009. These are still helpful now in 2011 when many are using Android devices. Specially the MMS part.
I don't know how you figured out that but my respect for finding out.
On first attempt I simply edited the details and did not delete the APNs. But I had to completely follow the steps by deleting all APNs and so on. Finally it worked.
Also, your decision to create separate thread was right. I came thru Google lookin for "Airtel MMS Settings on Android".

First off let me say I've been searching EXTENSIVELY on this issue.
I'm in the US on T-Mobiles HTC HD2 (obviously).
When I purchased the phone it had already been rooted (I believe that is the correct term). It was running winmo 6.5 along with Android on an SD card.
I haven't had the phone long but I've learned so much from this site regarding modding and such. I can NOT send MMS messages on Android (I believe I remember sending one on Winmo). I don't have a data plan and I've tried every single APN I've found. Still nothing.
I recently flashed my phone with the new MAGLDR. I used "MDJ_Revolution_HD_v._2.2_NAND". It runs pretty smooth.. Except no mms capability =(. I've updated the Radio to the most recent. 2.15~ (I think).
I've read that possibly it's the ROM I'm using. Like I said I've been searching, please bare with me on this question, but I'm a little confused on what a ROM actually is. From what I've read everything I've found is a "winmo" rom. I beleive the rom that came with my phone (note: it came from someone else, its not stock) is Energy? It's a blue logo at bootup.
Would I have better luck with the MMS if I flashed to another rom? And if so, how would that affect my android? This site is full of information and sometimes it's hard to sift through what I need and what is extra. ANY help on this matter would be greatly greatly appreciated.
Thank you

I didn't know that you could send an MMS without a data plan. Most Android builds won't send MMS over Wifi and without a data plan. Some of the new NAND builds have MMS working over Wifi.

My old Nokia would send good quality MMS without a data plan so I just assumed this would be the same. If you think this is the case then I suppose I can stop beating my head against the wall.

I knew it! How did they get it working?
There were three phones on our family plan and none of them would send/recieve MMS. I don't know what they did to get it working, however, they sent information from the cell towers to the phones repeatedly until all three phones worked properly.
2 things u need to check out is to fix the problem,
1. (Boot Android) if u are in roaming area u need to go to your settings go to wireless and networks then go to mobile networks (NOT MOBILE NETWORK) and simply click on the checkmart data roaming to enable data tranfer over roaming coverage and then go to Accesspoint names and clik on the one avaliable. ( you should now be able to send and recieve MMS messages or send them over your network.

No sorry that wasn't it..
It turns out I needed to use a SPECIFIC APN if I didn't have a data plan. It was wap.voicestream.com and then the other stuff. I don't remember it. It works now!

Would I have better luck with the MMS if I flashed to another rom? And if so, how would that affect my android? This site is full of information and sometimes it's hard to sift through what I need and what is extra. ANY help on this matter would be greatly greatly appreciated.
Thank you

The MMS should be setup as follows:
1. Settings --> Wireless and Networks --> Mobile Networks --> Access Point Names
2. The APN should be named "T-Mobile US"
3. Edit that or create it and the settings within should be:
Name: T-Mobile US
APN: epc.tmobile.com
Proxy: 216.155.165.050
Port: 8080
Username: (leave this blank)
Password: (leave this blank)
Server: (leave this blank)
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS Proxy: 216.155.165.50
MMS Port: 8080
MMS Protocol: WAP 2.0
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
APN Type: (leave this blank)
Once done, back your way out, maybe reboot the phone for good measure but shouldn't be required. To test success, send yourself a picture message (mms).
Hope that helps
My Streak actually had two entries for APN's. One as above, and one called T-Mobile MMS

Thanks, but that one never worked. I heard that was for if you HAVE a data plan, seeing as how I don't I was able to use this one:
Name: mms
APN: wap.voicestream.com
username: mms
password: mms
MMSC: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
MMS Proxy: 216.155.165.050
MMS Port: 8080
And it works now!
Ok update: Now all the MMS I receive are very very small. 4KB~ Average. Any Ideas?
New Problem
I have all the MMS Settings set up properly. The onlu problem that I have is...
I am able to send picture messages aka MMS Messages ( I am on an unlimited messaging plan and hence the picture messages are included)
However I have problems downlading and viewing them.
Lets say my friend sends me a picture message ( a .jpg file) It shows me in the subject that there is an attachment but when I try to download it (first it doesn't even automatically downloads it when I have it set up correct )
the error message comes up " Unable to download message from __"
Can anyone help me ? I don't know how this issue started. I only remember that MMS messages used to download by themselves once before.

OK, this is dumb, but try this...
Settings/All Settings/Connections/Connections/Advanced/Select Networks
on the drop down list select T-Mobile MMS. Then, Edit. Tap & Hold on black dot T-Mobile MMS, Then Connect.

no change !
change the APN used for the Internet and toggle the moble Internet on/off
So I just flashed this ROM the other day via safestrap on my AT&T s4. im extremely happy with the rom. The only 2 issues im having are with MMS. I cant send picture messages whether im on WiFi or not. It just shows sending, then the circle sits there forever trying to send. I flashed the kernel modules and configured APN settings. However, I can receive MMS all the time.
The other issue with MMS is for some reason, when I receive MMS now, it starts a whole new conversation for that person in what looks like a group message. It displays my name and the person that sent the picture as the recipients. If there is a way to just keep it in the same conversation im having with that person, Id like to do that.
Ive spent hours looking on the forums to find someone with a similar issue or fix. No luck.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Did you flash the compatibility pack? Also, you can only send mms over movie data.
Sent from Black<3's I337 running Hyperdrive
I did not know the compatibility pack was needed for me. nor could i Find it.
Also, I know you can only send pictures over mobile data, but some users were reporting issues of not being able to send pictures while their wifi was turned on. Unfortunately, I cannot sent whether its on or off.

The compatibility link is right under the link to the RLS13 download in the AT&T Hyperdrive thread. Flash that and see if it helps.
I get my MMS fine with WiFi on, even while i was on Hyperdrive which i was for a good while (12 and 13)
Is it safe to flash the compatibility pack now? after Ive been using the phone for a few days.
Ok so I flashed the compatibility pack. It did not fix my issue, and now my wifi doesnt work at all. Awesome. as soon as I try and turn wifi on it kicks off immediately.
flash the MK2 kernel modules and make sure your APN is correct

I was able to reflash kernel modules and get wifi back. but for some reason it added Cingular and Straighttalk APN's. My data is off and on (Service then no service). Adding the APN for ATT now and will see if that fixes it.
Everything seems to be ok after re-entering the apn settings. However, Im back to square one with picture messages. Still cant send any
