question about data and mms - Android Software Development

how can i block all data except MMS on android. my gf has a g1 in germany and doesnt have data plan but would like to be able to send/recieve mms but want to block anything else from using data like browser, maps, gmail etc....apndroid doesnt allow mms if everything else is blocked. any suggestions? or ways to get apndroid to work. maybe settings need to be messed around with

Well guys, I just thought I would give some input here…
I have the G1 without the data plan, and everything works fine with no problems.
The only thing I did have a problem with is MMS, but I got around it by going with the settings I used on my old unlocked HTC 8125:
Menu > Setting > Wireless controls > Mobile networks > Access point names
Once you get in there, scroll down until you see T-Mobile US and input the following settings:
Name = T-Mobile US
APN = wap.voicestream.com
Proxy = 216.155.165.050
Port= 8080
Username= None
Password = None (delete the 4 digit PW that is there)
Server = Not set (also delete the 1 digit PW there)
MMSC = Unchanged (do not change it)
MMS proxy = 216.155.165.050
MMS port = 8080
MCC, MNC, and APN type all stay they was they are.
Now as far as remembering the old information goes, you can always go into T-Mobile US 160 (right below T-Mobile US), which has all the same settings as T-Mobile US including the password. All you have to do is copy and paste it.
How do you copy and paste? To do this let’s say you go into T-Mobile US and where it says “Name.” Click it and the edit box will pop up; hold your finger on the name, and then another box will pop up; click “Copy all” (this is only going to copy what is in that box). To paste, you go wherever you want to paste it and do the same steps.
Hope this can help you guys. I know not being able to send or receive MMS was getting to me pretty bad.

Think I just found a form that can help: tmo MMS not working on 8125

Hello Everyone/Rambo6 ... I'm a newbie to this forum. Please help before me I give up on my 8125 ...
I have an unlocked cingular 8125 using tmobile service. I have not been able to get MMS to work yet (I'm pretty sure my settings are correct). I've been spending 3 days now on 4 different forums, but I still can't get an answer. I was really happy to see that Rambo6 (in one of the threads) got his to work, so I'm sure I've found the right place to get help.
I guess the questions are:
1) What am I doing wrong?
2) Do I need to flash with a TMO ROM? I tried to update the ROM from tmo website but I got an error, I think it was something like "invalid vendor" ... or something like that. I'm currently using the Cingular ROM. Phone & SDS works.
3) Does anyone have a step by step process on this? With pics would be awsome.
4) Is my phone not fully unlocked eventhough I can use the tmobile SIM for phone/SMS?
Here my ppc info:
ROM version: 2.25.11.1 WWE
ROM date: 5/11/06
Radio version: 4.1.13.12
Protocol version 4.1.13.12
ExtROM version: 2.25.102
my settings was based on (from tmo website):
wap.voicestream.com
216.155.165.050 in the Gateway field
8080 in the Port number field
http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms in the Server address field
WAP 2.0
I did spent time reading through this forum (and a lot on other forums). I apologize if this has already been answered. I did honestly tried to search 1st.
bump !
i myself have been searching aswell looks like its a common issue with the cingular 8125 .
um.. did you edit the media net connection to point to tmo? im not clear on the tmo settings, but i know on cingular, the mms settings uses the media net connection, if i have my edge on MY Isp it fails (im assuming it needs that proxy from MEdia net) so basically you will need the internet settings as well...
I used the following settings from the tmobile website. I have a feeling I need to use the tmobile ROM. I'm a little worried because I have not found on this forum how to verify if my device is actually cid unlock. From what I can tell I have a G3 (IPL/SPL 2.25) chip so there is an unlock tool for that. I just need a way to verify that cid unlock actually worked.
Anyway, I took a risk and tried to flash with the tmobile ROM and got "Invalid vendor ID". I've been brousing this forum for this, but haven't found an answer yet. I guess if some one know please tell me now ... I've been spending 3 days now (actually 4 now) reading & reading & reading. Would be nice to get an answer now. What's wrong? Do I need a tmobile ROM? Thanks!!!

Shoganmark,
I read your reply but I didn't absorve (spelling?) it very well. I'm a little tired ... have not had much sleep. After reading your reply again, I think (maybe) I know where your getting at. I'll think about it a little more to make sure I really do understand what you're saying before I ask anymore dumb questions. Thank for your reply.

wasnt really a dumb question... just had to get it figured out.. i am cingular and not sure what the tmo connections look like, but i assumed they worked in the same manner as cingular, i didnt know if there were 2 different edge settings on tmo like cingular.. and i may not have explained it the best, but i was trying to explain how cingulars connection worked so that maybe in understanding that it would help your mms problem...
Have you gotten it to work yet?
let me try to break down how cingular's works and make it a little more understandable, hopefully this will help you figure your tmo problem out..
On the connections tab cingular has 2 gprs settings
MEdia Net (uses a proxy server)
MY Isp (does not use a proxy)
Now by default cingular is set to MY Isp (due to wifi, wifi will not work if set to MEdia net due to the proxy server)
Then of course in the MMS folder settings is the MMS connection settings...
Now if the phone is set to my isp it will not send an mms message (im guessing due to the proxy server.. sounds like a pain in the a$$ yet?)
in order for me to send an mms i have to set the phone to MEdia net (im guessing again due to proxy)....
Hello ShogunMark,

There's gotta be a stupid little thing I'm overlooking ... I'm just out of ideas now. This does not have anything to do with which ROM (Cingular vs TMO) correct? I don't think so, but then again there may be something hidden in the ROM.

help is what this community is for... no need to thank me
I'm not a WM5 and HTC Wizard expert yet (had the device less than a month and its my first WM device) so if i don't help i'm sorry, but i'll try anyways.
From what i know WM dosen't include MMS capabilities built in so my Wizard, T-Mobile MDA (US), uses something from ArcSoft to do that, i'm sure yours does too as HTC probably chose that. Have you looked into the settings for MMS Composer (the stuff by ArcSoft)?
The easiest way to do that i found was simply open up Pocket Outlook like you do to send an MMS -> Hit Menu -> Tools -> Options -> Tap "MMS" (may be named something else i can't say for Cingular's ROM) -> Hit "Servers" tab -> Ensure that new connection you set for MMS as T-Mobile told you via their site is the one MMS composer is set to use.
I can't imagine why it wouldn't work if that's set right... But post if that helps at all or not
Don't get rid of the 8125 though we'll all crack at it till it works
Hello Frazell,
You are correct about Arcsoft ... I did noticed that MMS uses Arcsoft (I saw that in the "About"). I went through the setup as stated at tmobile website already ... so I'm surprise too why it didn't work. Maybe this will give my helpers some more hints ... when I hit send:
1) The 1st pop-up widow is: "Connecting to PictureMessaging, Connecting to
GPRS" I didn't see any error here so I assume it's ok.
2) On top of the today screen, I see a yellow envelope with a gree arrow.
I assume that means it's trying to send.
3) After a little while, I see "unable to send message" pop-up.
4) Now, if I got to the comn manager, I see the "Data Connection" is active.
I think it turns on when I send a MMS. If this is true, then this connection
being on means I can get a connection via GPRS?
5) Another note that I don't think I've mentioned. I am using the prepaid
t-mobile plan. MMS is suppose to be provided with the prepaid plan
(25cents per pic), so I'm not sure if this is a problem. I've already
checked with t-mobile that SMS & MMS are activated on my account.
ps. I've been searching on differnet forums (howardforum, pocketpcaddict ....), and I see some other people have this problem also. Most of the posts I see never had a reply, so I don't know if they solved it or not.
1 more edit to add: Both my wife and I have the same phone with the same problem, so I don't think it's a hardware problem.
(edit: fixed spelling)
with prepaid can u browse the internet....... if not u will not b able to send mms messages
Yes, prepaid can have internet access (it'll be expensive thouth). Here's the service listed by t-mobile
Included services
* Nationwide long distance (including calls to Alaska and Hawaii)
* National roaming on the T-Mobile USA network
* t-zones (free shopping for HiFi Ringers, MegaTones®, wallpapers, and more)

im downloading a tmo us rom now... gonna pick apart the ext rom and see whats there.. hopefully i can come up with something to help you guys
ok, i found about 5 necessary cabs in the ext rom.. one makes the mms folder and some other reg settings, the rest makes the connections between internet and MMS.. i put a config text inside to show the order to install the cabs.. then reboot.. see if this solves your problem
Shogunmark,
I was not able to install the 3rd cab ("P_Generic_Conn_Settings.CAB") ... Got an "unsuccessful" installation. Should I continue
to install the rest?
my port is 9201 other than that everything else looks the same.

Compiling a complete APN List

I've searched all the 3 Android devices forum's and came up empty handed, so please let me know if a topic like this one already exists.
I've seen lots of people complaining the ROM they just installed didn't have data connection active, most of them don't realize they can/have to edit the APN list manually to have a data connection.
As some probably know, these APNs are all defined in a file called apns-conf.xml inside the /system/etc/ folder in your phone. The file can have all the APNs we want and I thought it would be useful to have a "mostly complete" list of the APNs from the cell phone companies all over the world to be included in the ROMs cooked around the XDA forums, this would make life easier for everyone who installs a new ROM.
With that in mind I started compiling an apns-conf.xml file. The file is based on CyanogenMOD's apns-conf.xml file (which seemed very complete to me) and then I added some other APNs I found on other ROM's apns-conf.xml.
The resulting file can be viewed and edited (using Google Docs) in the following link:
http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AZNbAmKkmakoZGZxZHNwMnpfMjJkaHg3ejN3eg&hl=en
What I'm proposing is that everyone interested checks out the file and corrects or adds their operator's/country's APN lists. That way we can incrementally build a "complete" APN list with the community effort.
Good idea. Wist that ROM creators would use this list.
Bump for visibility!
I find it weird that only one person found this idea interesting and helped out. Thanks btw woo456

That website is probably created after running the apns-conf.xml file through a XML parser, and I'm pretty sure it is using the apns-conf.xml file from this thread. But it's not the same thing, the apns-conf.xml file is for use with ROMs or to push into the device, that website shows the file in a readable format making it easy to add manually to the phone.
@Roy_Drage: It's not hard to add to the file, but I'll add that one.

Indeed it is. I whipped that page up to make a slightly more human-readable APN list than a raw XML file. And yep, it uses your list.
I proposed a fix for SFR APN. Here in France we can get different APN depending if we bought the "Full Internet" option or not. With "Full Internet", we use a different APN "sl2sfr" which don't use a proxy. Without this option we have to use "wapsfr" APN which is filtered.
Good to see some people interested in this
uk vodafone
i have a uk vodafone contract and backed up my details i noticed your vodafone contract apn said apn="wap.vodafone.co.uk" but should actually be apn="wap.vodafone.co.ukapndroid" so i have edited it accordingly , great idea by the way always scared i lose that bit of paper

The apn field you edited was correct. The "apndroid" you had at the end of yours was put there by an app you used called APNdroid. It is used to disable/enable data connection on the phone, it works by changing the APN field by adding "apndroid" at the end, making the phone unable to connect.
Added some apns for the Swedish operators. Hope its correct.

SFR - France
Very nice idea !!
Here are the infos for SFR/France
SFR

Keep up the good work !
D.
yeh i ran into a similar problem with the APN, found this link- its rather long but it has quite a few apns, just CTRL+F3 and find your APN.
hope it helps
http://www.karrderized.com/romguide/apns.php
wow this is really interesting. bumping to hopefully gain more ground on it
This is probably a stupid question but the there server area when it indicates "*" does this mean you are suppose to put in the asterisk there?
Sorry and thanks for the help!

Some APNs require a specific value for the server, there are others that have asterisks. My operator, for example, uses asterisk. But to answer your question, if the Server field has an asterisk then yes, you have to put an asterisk in the server field when entering the APN data on the phone.
I edited the swedish tele2 APN.¨
I dont know if it makes any diffrence but the ip i have working in my phone had .030 at the end, this file had .30 maybe doesnt mather. Anyway, I also squeezed MMS and Internet settings togheter as there is no need for two APN for that.
Hope that is ok.

MMS problem

I have the latest 3VO rom installed. No problem EXCEPT the MMS won't work.
I have tmobile. The messages just sit in the out box.
They worked fine with the original bloat software from tmobile.
I even hard reset. No help.
Maybe a setting?
Help. I have pictures of my new grand daughter I need to send!!
Did you try the setting posted in the ROM Thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4799282&postcount=529
No. The settings on the post are from the 20's. ugh... Thanks!
SMS works fine. the default settings are.
CONNECTIONS. GPRS.
Then I pick. Tmobile MMS
access point = epc.tmobile.com
everything else is blank, user name, password, primary dns, secondary dns and IP
thats all I have to choose from.
Change the "connects to" to: WAP Network
Change the "Access Point" to: wap.voicestream.com (you have to type it in, it is not a selection)
Then go to Settings/MMS Setting, press the right soft key and select MMSC Settings. Press the right soft key and select Edit. Scroll down and make sure the settings match up with the post I mentioned, specifically the "Connect via" is set to WAP Network.
YAY it worked. I'm only mildly techtarded! Thanks sooo much.
Glad you got it to work. SMS and MMS are totally different as far as how they connect on the cellular network. MMS is basically email using you cellphone number as an email address. You can also send to other email addresses using MMS.
T-mobile only uses WAP for their MMS connectivity, not the regulat data/internet. I am not sure if this is still true for 3G, but for Edge WAP is required.
Must be for 3G. I'm on it. Thanks again for rhe help and education. I appreciate it.

[GUIDE] Getting MMS/AGPS To Work

Summary:
Some providers make use of a different APNs for MMS and data. In such cases, leaving the APN type as "" will cause MMS not to work (see History for explanation). To fix this, we have to ensure the following:
Data APN Types are set to "default", or "default,supl" (if you're having issues with AGPS, use the supl one)
MMS APN Types are set to "mms"
In other words, APN types should not be left blank for any APN. Hope it helps. For a detailed description read below.
History:
Hi all,
I previously had MMS working perfect after following this instructions: http://www.systemscrafter.com/imho/archives/6, but since I switched to CyanogenMod BETA 3 MMS hasn't been working for me.
After some testing, I've found out the following. It seems that under APN Type, the one you use for data MUST be designated as "default", and for the MMS one, as "mms". Lower-case. The apns-conf.xml left out the "default".
Secondly, after doing that, it still did not work reliably. This was solved by removing one of the data APNs. In Cyan's apns-conf.xml, there were "Gee! (GPRS)" and "StarHub Internet". These 2 are essentially the same APN point (one uses proxy, one does not), configuration wise, just given different names. I removed "Gee! (GPRS)" and entered "default" under "StarHub Internet", and MMS is now working perfect.
Update: xiutian had a simpler fix. Simply go to "Gee! (GPRS)" and "StarHub Internet", make sure both of them are set to APN type "default". It works, just tested. In other words, never leave the "APN type" blank. It has to be either "default" or "mms". (Any other values? not too sure...)
Update #2: cyanogen has kindly informed me that setting it to "default" may cause AGPS to stop working. After doing some searching, I found this: http://www.nexusoneforum.net/forum/...how-can-i-get-internet-work-my-nexus-one.html. Apparently, setting it to "" makes Android use it for everything, which explains why MMS was not working for some of us. To fix the AGPS part, instead of using "default", we now use "default,supl".
Update #3: @bcpk on Twitter has kindly pointed me to the following article: http://wccftech.com/2010/09/09/solving-gps-nofix-problem-cyanogenmod-6-nexus/ Do check it out if you're having issues with CM6.
Hope it helps some of you.

I'm sorry to say that it did not help me.
I'm on Orange in Switzerland.
I had to input the apn myself and don't see where i can make it default or not.
Could you please provide me with a little more info?
Thanks
I went thru the APN list and made the necessary corrections. Will include in beta4.
The file is here if you have anything to add:
http://github.com/cyanogen/android_vendor_cyanogen/blob/eclair/prebuilt/etc/apns-conf.xml
Awsome
For Orange CH I've found 2 things that work for me,
1) apn internet
mcc 228
mnc 03
2) apn wap
proxi 192.168.010.002
port 8080
mcc 228
mnc 03
Both these settings work to get data, but I still havent managed to find the correct mms settings, and the shop not only wants me to leave them the phone for an hour or 2 (i wonder why) but then they want me to pay them extra for the mms info..BS
I've been searching on the web but all the settings I've found and tried are not working.

When entering your APN, scroll to the bottom, there's a option "APN type", tap on that and type in "default". To be honest I don't know why Google can't make it a ListBox where we can choose from...

ahhh thanks,
I always thought apn type had something to do with the operator and therefor never even tapped on in.
I'll keep trying then with some of the settings I've found online, set the internet one to default, and see what happens, as soon as I can

I'm on Centennial Wireless. I had the internet working since day 1. But this didn't help with the mms. It does seem 2 almost connect now that I put mms in type, but still no go.
success
yeaaayyy i finally got it.
Orange switzerland has 2 sets of settings, one for data and one for mms.
I had the correct information for both, but my mistake was in the apn type field.
So I went ahead and made the main data on default,supl and the other mms et voila...thanks...that link helped

esincho: More info would be good. You put "mms" in type for your MMS APN, right? What about your Data APN? What did you put in type for that?
Seems that the new Nexus One update has an updated apns-conf.xml.
Some of the settings have changed, particularly StarHub.
Code:
<apn carrier="StarHub"
mcc="525"
mnc="05"
apn="internet"
type="default,supl"
/>
<apn carrier="Gee! MMS"
mcc="525"
mnc="05"
apn="shmms"
mmsc="http://mms.starhubgee.com.sg:8002"
mmsproxy="10.12.1.80"
mmsport="80"
type="mms"
/>
I've also uploaded it here: http://www.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=wysie/MISC/&file=apns-conf.xml

sorry bro U right. I'm not new 2 having 2 put in these settings, cause I am on Centennial and I buy all my phones unlocked cause Centennial phones suck. My internet works fine, 4 it under type I put default,supl cause I read somewhere this is what 2 put. Like I say, I have all the right mms info from the carrier cause I'm use 2 putting it in. I shows like it's connecting, but it don't maintain connection.
I just received a mms and was able 2 open it, but I still can't send any.

Uff, thanx this helped me. Now I can use MMS on Orange Austria.
how can i verify AGPS is working?
htc magic next to my n1 seems to show more accurate position, and we're in door so it couldn't be pure gps
I can't seem to have MMS working on my N1. I am in Honduras and the settings seems to be pretty str8forward but my MMS are not going out.
I've set up the 2 apn and tried both the "default" and "defaul,supl" setting but nothing. The message is never sent out. I seems like the application is calling the APN but then it stops. I can see that for a second the icon of the Edge connection disappears when trying to send the MMS.
How would you configure your apn with the following settings :
nombre de la configuracion: MMS Claro
Pagina de inicio: 10.6.32.27/servlets/mms
Punto de Acceso o (apn): mms.megatel.hn
Dirreccion IP: 010.006.032.002
Usuario: mmsmegatel
Contraseña: mmsmegatel

I'm on AT&T right now,
i use APNdroid to disable Data, but i still want to be able to use MMS, so i set APNdroid to still allow MMS, and i made anothe APN with the necessary info and as APN type MSS
but it doesn't seem to work, any input?
after some fiddling with it i fixed it myself
i took the default APN added MMS as APN type
and told APNdroid to ALLOW 3g data (so practically not use apndroid)
and NO MMS Port as seen at some other places, MMS port is <not set>
For those who wanna see entire settings for JUST MMS (not data)
Name: AT&T MMS
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: <not set>
Port: <not set>
Username: [email protected]
Password: CINGULAR1
Server: cingulargprs.com
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS Port: <not set>
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication Type: <not set>
APN Type: mms
using APNdroid to disable Data and keeping MMS doesn't work, just set the APN type to MMS and you're good..
if you want to use both MMS and Data just keep the APN type field <not set>
DATA/MMS
Thanks to wysie i was able to get data on internet2.voicestream with apn type default,supl and mms on epc.tmobile.... would anyone else know how to set up the apn for other apps like t-mobile my account that uses epc.tmobile.... what apn type would that be so android knows to switch it to that apn to access info?
Telia (Denmark)
MMS not working for me ?
AF9210: From what I know there's only <blank>, default, supl and mms .
MarkM83: More info?
Thank you soo much Wysie. you have no idea how long i've been searching for a solution to my mms/data issue on my Hero and then Nexus after it. I owe you a couple o beers
