Android - HTC Dream/Magic - Fido APN/MMS Settings

Hello all,
I thought that it would be good to share this with the rest of the world.
I'm using the HTC Magic on fido, and for the longest time I had trouble finding working fido MMS APN settings. Most of what I could find via a google search referenced just setting up one APN, quoted various proxies, server addresses - let's just say a lot of contradicting information.
Finally - I did a quick search about the APN Type (the last field in the APN setup screen). I solved my MMS worries by setting up two APNs with different types.
So without further delay, here's the good stuff.
APN1 [this one will have the radio button beside it]
Name: fido internet
APN: internet.fido.ca
Username: fido
Password: fido
APN Type: default
(all other fields blank)
APN2 [this one will not have any radio button beside it]
Name: fido mms
APN: mms.fido.ca
MMSC: http://mms.fido.ca
MMS Proxy: 205.151.011.013
APN Type: mms
(all other fields blank)
Hope this helps!

PERFECT! I had the internet settings but not mms. other sites are giving incorrect mms settings for Fido, But U R DA MAN!

Data plan blocked?
Is it possible Fido applied the data plan shutdown to unlocked phone owners too? See article “Rogers Canada forces Android update that takes away root access” on boingboing.net.
I had good 3G bandwidth in the morning and no more connection in the afternoon. Still offline
Anyone else experiencing the same troubles?
They might have changed the APN credentials...

I recently got my sister's Rogers Dream ... NOT unlocked or anything...and i have the old sim from about 5 years ago....(don't know if that is the reason)
but these FIDO APN settings are not working for me!

Hey do you still have this problem? Because I do and I'd like to fix it. Do you think that Rogers ban extends to Fido customers as well (since they use the same network)?

This may help you to solve the problem.
Figured it out today thanks to all the other information here.
Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Acces Point Names
Create a new one for each:
Internet
Name: Fido Internet
APN: internet.fido.ca
Proxy: 205.151.11.11
Username: fido
Password: fido
MCC: 302
MCN: 370
MMS
Name: Fido MMS
APN: mms.fido.ca
MMSC: htp://mms.fido.ca
MMS Proxy: 205.151.11.13
MMS Port: 8080 (still needs to be confirmed, I didn't want to test too much without unlimited MMS)
Username: fido
Password: fido
MCC: 302
MCN: 370
APN Type: mms
So far it works!

These settings worked awesome for me. I have a Rogers Samsung Galaxy S Captivate. I unlocked it to use on Fido's network. At first, my voice worked fine, but no data. These APN settings now have my data working. Thank you so much for posting this!

I'm using these settings on an unlocked Atrix and no luck at all. How long does it usually take for these settings to work?

No 3G?!

I just downloaded the new darkstone Froyo (3.1 from September 29th). Seems to run very fast, but I have no 3G! I enabled "Mobile Network" for internet/data but still no luck. Using TMobile USA HD2.

what radio version are you running?

Whatever's default for the HD2. What version do I need? Can someone link to it?

Must manually add apn setting..

^ Hey thanks a lot. Now it is working and you saved me hours of frustration!

i get 3G on the same rom using the radio 2.08.50.05

Radio is 2.10.50.26.
I'll try the apn thing in a bit.

Just noticed, the last octet of the proxy IP isn't valid. No octet in IP addressing starts with 0. Should I just put it in anyway?

Nevermind, saw the IP again like it should be.
So I hit Menu > Save but I don't see it in the "APNs" screen. Is this normal?

No its not normal. After you hit save on the apn screen it should return you to the "apn". This is because if there is more then 1 apn you'll be able to select it there. It actually the apn selection screen and you hit menu to add new apn.. and your right on the mms proxy ip it should end .050 ill edit the other post. Also keep in mind that sending and receiving mms in tmous can have tiny pics using a sense build. There is a fix for it in development. Haven't tried it cause I don't do a lot of mms, I just reboot to winmo to send them.
sent from my desire hd2

Hm well when I go to apn, what should I see? I hit the Windows key and I get a menu, aside from that I have a black screen labeled APN.

Nevermind, APN is there now. I'll let you know how it works when I get signal again. (No signal in my office).

Gets 3G, but no data connection. Followed the directions 100%. Argh!!!

Cycle airplane mode on then off and try again.. that is assuming u have a 3g icon in taskbar
sent from my desire hd2

I'll try that.
Says "H" which I think is HSPA, right? T-Mobile's "3.5G" or whatever...

Yeah... but the hd2 will only do 7.2 mb/sec.. and the h is actually hspa connection may not be hspa+. 3g is umts or whatever its called

[Q] Why doesn't 3G work on FroyoStone 3.2?

I downloaded FroyoStone 3.2, and it doesnt have 3G? Or is there a way to enable it. I want to be able to use internet everywhere like i did on WinMo. On WinMo all i had to do is turn the data connection on and it worked as 3G. Whenever i try to go on the andriod marketplace or just on the internet it comes up with an error saying. "Attention! A network error has occurred. Retry, or cancel and return to the previous screen." Any fix? Please and thank you.

Have you checked your APN setting?
It is entirely possible that you may have to set up your APN. Search the forum there are threads with all the details everywhere.

no 3G for me.. i have a sidekick plan, it worked fine with 3G
using froyo 2.2
once i updated to v3.2 froyostone
all i get is edge..
i tried alternatives.. adding apn settings
changing radios.
although i cant find a full hiptop internet settings write up online
all i could pull up is the apn address
im actually using the radio i had before.
between 2.2 and froyostone v3.2 theres a network settings change.
i might just go back to 2.2 and keep my 3G service working

im having the same problem any way to fix it. i cant get any data connection with it. but at least my calls work. on froyo 3.2. i have it installed using the sd card 16 gig. or is there a way i can get a perfect andriod for my hd2 where the sound in the voice calls work and my internet. i am super new at this and been trying all day BTW HAPPY NEW YEAR.
i am running 3.14 rom
nevermind i got it to work.

omg -thank you so much -i was on the brink of deleting this version of android -ty again -internet works perfectly now

Tmobile US, HD2 and Android MMS issues

I'm not totally sure where this should go. But I've been reading up quite a bit and decided to try out android on my hd2. What ive got is a HD2 Tmobile US 1024, I'm curently running FroyoStone Sense V3.2 from october17, im running HSPL, and radio 2.12.50.02_2, the issue I have is ive been thrue the apn settings, called up tmobile even and they had me input the apn settings epc.tmobile.com and i get nothing, i have working 3g internet, however its spotty, seams to drop connection alot, but when i get a mms i go to download and it fails every time no matter what i do. now tmobile when i called up tech support, they said i need to just switch to a android data plan, as its the same price i can switch back and forth as much as id like, and it would allow it to work.. however ive see people here be able to get it to work, but most say it works with a smartphone plan.. i'm woundering if somthing els has changed tmobile side that would make me have to switch or do i have to switch or am i missing something in settings entirly here? id just like to find an answer to resolve this issue thanks and sorry again if this is in the wrong location...

This is an EXTREMELY common problem, and the solution can be found by using the search function.

i'm not sure you get what im saying, ive done the whole settings with the mmc settings and proxy settings ect and cant get it to work fallowing the stuff here. failure to download message every time no matter what settings i use in the apn, wich is why i'm woundering wich is the official instructions, and or if i need to get the android data plan insted.

You do not need to use an Android data plan. I am using a T-Mobile US HD2 on the T-Mobile US network and can send/receive MMS just fine. My connection, like yours, is spotty but it DOES work. Try the following APN settings. If they do not work then I'm not really sure what to do aside from try a different Android ROM maybe..

I personally use M-Deejay's Froyo HD v3.7. It's a Desire HD port. I use the 2.12.50.02_2 radio. I use the 3.14.531.0 (04666) WWE T-Mobile ROM as my base but my build is 23563(A personal unreleased ROM). I'm also using HardSPL3.
As far as WM ROM is concerned, I don't share my ROM. You could try any other WM ROM based off of the base ROM I mentioned above though and it should work just fine for you.
Best of luck!

About 3 or 4 months ago, we noticed our family plan phones would not send or receive MMS. I chatted online with T-Mobile support for hours and after the support tech resent several different sets of settings to our phones... magic ! He said our network settings had been surreptitiously changed by recent work on the network and he had no idea why.
Are you sure your phone is at fault?

this is the settings im currently using and it seems to work as far as sending a picture.. it was very quick to send....and took less then minute to download a pic sent to me... i beleive i have finnaly found the fix for me atleast hope this helps...if it does plz say thxs... took me two months to figure this out...

i have these exact settings. if i send myself a test mms it comes back, as working, in less than 30 seconds - flawless. however, when i send messages to other networks (like at&t and iphoner's) the messages don't get there.
i have read that our dns settins have to match the apn but i have no clue as to how the dns settings impact mms delivery. are iphones pre set to receive a certain size mms? any help would be appreciated.

I've never messed with DNS setting and when I've called cs they never mentioned it..
