Android - HTC Dream/Magic - Fido APN/MMS Settings - myTouch 3G, Magic General

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?

T-mobile apn settings

Ive currently purchased a unlocked vodaphone htc magic, but for some reason i cant access the internet with my t mobile sim. Has anybody got the apn settings for t mobile or know what i have to do to get 3g internet working thanx
First you won't get 3G with Vodafone HTC Magic since it only supports Euro/Asia 3G. You need either the Google Ion or T-Mobile myTouch 3G if you want to take advantage of T-Mobile US 3G.

APN: epc.tmobile.com

Thanx kevstv that did the trick im on t mobile uk i was using us settings lol
I ran into the same problem, I purchased a Vodafone Magic and have been waiting for the 3G to kick in. Only after stumbling across this site did I find out this issue. Is there any software hack to get around this? The seller claims that the phone has a Google ion rom currently in it. I have know way of verifying that. Please give me some hope. I can't even get on to Edge. I currently have NO data at all unless on Wifi.
i have the same problem. i got the unlocked HTC Magic on aazon.com and ive tried these and other settings but i only get data over wifi. anyone now of any possible solutions
Under the APN settings if you plug in:
wap.voicestream.com
You can at least get Edge support under T-Mobile. I have combed the entire internet and found out that the actual hardware for the Vodafone Magic 3G antenna is different. There is no way around it. The example someone gave was trying to listen to a AM radio station on a FM only radio.
Thanks

Now if I can get my Qtec rom to stop fuzzing after a screen dimming, I will be set.
If you have any suggestions I will keep checking the fuzzy thread.

If you flash a generic ROM or a custom ROM instead of using the default Vodafone ROM the APN settings AND MMS settings will automatically be set for the phone. All the ROMs I've installed on my unlocked Vodafone Magic 32b here in the UK have found the APN settings automatically.
Heres what I'm using at the moment
I didn't want any Vodafone crap on my phone since I'm not on Vodafone anyway.

[Q] MMS problem on TMOBILE. what apn setting?

I've tried differnt APN setup on my HTC Legend, trying to get it to receive MMS messages. Due to my plan, the only APN will work is internet2.voicestream.com
i went to the apn setting and created 2 APN, one is T-mobile Data and the other is T-mobile MMS. The data works fine, however, the MMS is unable to download. I'm not sure which APN and MMSC to use. If anyone can get the MMS to work on Tmobile network in the United States, please let me know a solution. Thanks!
Hi i am having the same problem and would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks in Advance!
and here's the two settings I tried (I set up another APN under the name T-mobile mms)

Htc hd2 android

I am using the t mobile HTC HD2, I have it unlocked and running it for my at&t network. I have also started using the android program through my sim card, so basically my phone is running on the android interface. It works great, however i cannot access the internet nor send/receive picture messages. I need to figure out the VPN setting or Proxy setting for the at&t provider. Since at&t does not have this phone they are unable to help on where or how to do it.
Anyone got this same situation and figured it out?!
Please help, thanks

none of that worked...i do not know where i can even put some of that information into the phone
what about the VPN?
Why have a HD2 on AT&T?
You just dont get the benefits you should. . . .

Fido APN/MMS Settings - Android 2.2 - Samsung Galaxy S (Bell GT-I9000M)

Hello all,
It appears as though there has been a change to the way that the APN's for internet and mms work under Android 2.2. You no longer need two APN's. It can all be handled with the following:
I'm using my Android 2.2 Samsung Galaxy S (Bell Version) on Fido and found that the two APN setup no longer worked for sending or receiving MMS messages. I solved my MMS problem by setting up a single APN with the following settings.
APN [this one will have a radio button beside it when done]
Name: Fido
APN: internet.fido.ca
Proxy: leave as default showing "Not Set"
Port: leave as default showing "Not Set"
Username: fido
Password: fido
Server: leave as default showing "Not Set"
MMSC: h t t p : / / m m s . f i d o . c a
MMS Proxy: 205.151.011.013
MMS Port: leave as default showing "Not Set"
MCC: leave as default
MNC: leave as default
Authentication Type: leave as default showing "Not Set"
APN Type: internet + mms
Make sure not to enter the spaces shown in the MMSC field above. I only show it that way because I am not allowed to post URL's yet.
This worked perfectly for internet access and MMS after making these settings.
Hope this helps!
i always used 1 APN since 2.1
as long asd you select the type to be internet + mms
Second that. Been used under 2.1 forever as that was pulled from the fix for nexus one when mms stopped working for Fido and rogers. Nexus default apn is the one that's commonly used for iphone though.
Not working for me!
Hi!! I have no internet access (exept with wi-fi), I use the setting above.
We I upgrade to 2.2 I had to do it whit ODIN.
I9000GJL2 band version!!
Any idea?? AllGamer, the pro??
do you have data plan?

@demetan71
did you create the APN entry?
Solved!!
Since I had this phone I was with Bell, but I never cancel my Fido contract, but I keep it to minimum fee.
I call yesterday, I find that they block me to the internet 3G because I tried one time Thetering!!
They unblock me, and now it work's fine whit the settings above!!
I've been trying to use this APN on an Atrix for Fido with very little luck. What can I be doing wrong?
This Works for me -Galaxy Samsung S
I was having the same problem. I gave fido a call and the person I spoke with gave me the configuation to enter.
Name: call what u want
APN: wap.fido.ca
Proxy IP: 205.151.11.11
Server: h t t p : / / fido . mobi
user: fido
pswd: fido
I then turned on roaming as I read that is what finally made it work for others having problems connecting. it took a few minutes for everything to work, but it seems to be working fine now. As soon as I went to an internet page, I received an SMS telling me I tried to access a web page without having a data plan. I clicked on the link, bought a plan and I'm surfing the waves of the net.
I did go back to look at my configuration for the net and some things seemed to have changed:
Name: fido (same name as before -doesn't really matter)
APN: wap.fido.caapndroid
Proxy: 205.151.11.11
User: fido
Pswd: **** (I'm guess the "*" are for fido like before)
Server: h t t p : / / fido . mobi
APN type: *apndroid
I guess it said droid after certain configs because I am using a Galaxy Samsung S (European model).
The spaces in the links are there because I am not allowed to post URLs yet, so remove them when entering the config information.
Hope one of the above configs works for you.

Solution for MMS sending difficulties anyone?

Wheel just keeps a spinnin and spinnin!
Wonder if it has to do with apn settings? They do indicate mms and Internet on the bottom setting.
Any suggestions appreciated? Who wants to be able to create these cool notes and not be able to send??
whats your plan, per or post pay, and what apn settings did you use, there are a lot of threads which address this.
I have a GoPhone $50 unltd.with apns suggested for this.
I DID walk in to att with my Note, and said cust service suggested I ask for a new sim cars and got a 4G card (vs the designated GoPhone) one, and that's when the problems started now that I think about it.
So my apn needs might have changed.
Ill have to play around with them.
Network speeds are way better...just no MMS.

definitely do not disclose to att that you have a smartphone.
I have the 50/month unlimited voice/text/web/data gophone att plan and my speeds are very good. i cant compare to network speed but im coming from tmous3g and it is close.
i registered the sim card in an older nokia e72, then once it worked fully, i swapped it into my gnote. not sure if att will catch the data usage and ding me for the overage as if it were a smartphone, but until that happens this is a brilliant workaround.

Question: I have the same APN settings as you just posted on my SGS 2, just curious what average speeds are you getting on G Note? I am getting about 3 mgps downld, 1.1 upload.
I tried to change the apn to different settings and no speed difference. Is this setting faster on G nOte?
Thank you

4g apn
there is another thread that list an APN just for the 4g sim from att. search for that thread.
You got off topic
The question was about MMS not working on the Note, not about your plans. Please stick to the topic in order to help this person
I was having issues with my mms as well. I tried multiple apn settings but nothing. What finally fixed it was inputting the apn settings below in the go SMS application itself. And using those apn settings on the phone. My speeds are not as good as a couple of the other apns but I now have working mms and fully functional phone. I pulled the apn settings off of my infuse.

Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
I'm also on AT&T and for some reason my APN has changed a couple of times on it's own. . In fact it just happened earlier today and I had the exact same problem as you. For some reason the MMS port was blank so I changed that back to 80. Also there was info in the username and password and I deleted both out. It worked again right after I made those changes.
I can give you the rest of my settings if those changes don't work for you. I'm using the settings that have been posted for AT&T unlimited data.
I copied the settings out of my brothers cappy, and finally got MMS working. Settings in the other thread weren't working for me. Im getting 3-7Mbs down and a MB up. Im post paid, with a 4G sim and so called "unlimited data".
