MMS issues without Data Plan

Since my last thread was unceremoniously closed here's a new one with another focus.
-Are you using a G1 without a data plan?
-AND have you used T-Mobile's APN settings to set up MMS?
-AND have you recently had problems with not being able to send or receive MMS messages?
And before you post it, this is my wife's G1 I'm talking about. I have a G1 with a data plan. She has NO use for a data plan, but she loves to send MMS messages. Don't tell me to get a data plan, I know it would be a viable solution but I'm not going to do it. I'm mainly wondering if anyone else has been having the same issue recently and if anyone has been able to resolve this issue. Any help would be appreciated.

I don't know how it's handled by TMO but in CH the providers have 2 APN setting (sometimes more) and one is for internet and the other is specifically for MMS and is not affecting the normal data usage (you pay per mms no mather if its 1 byte sized or the maximum sized)

MMS proble

They have blocked you from using that APN switch back to the regular one or pay for the data plan (don't be surprised if it doesn't work until you do pay for the data plan.)

i have the same problem

MMS Problem
yea i know they block because the G1 is always ceiving and sending data and i think T-mobile notice and they block it or maybe too many user are using this settings with G1 and T-zones hacks.. thanks

APN Settings if you're on Total Internet Addon ($20)?

I need the internet/mms settings... I put in internet2.voicestream.com and on a separate apn for mms I put wap.voicestream.com
For some reason, I'm not seeing either a E or 3G... But I get full voice signal.. Please help. Thank you.

try epc.tmobile.com

Do I need to put anything in for port number, server, etc...?

heres what i have
Settings ->Wireless Net & Settings ->Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names
Name T-mobile
APN: epc.t-mobile.com
Proxy: none
Port: not set
Username: none
Password: (not sure whats in there as it was automatically set but i believe its) GPRS
Server: *
MMSC: mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc/ add http to the front of that it wont let me post link im too new
MMS Proxy: not set
MMS: Port not set
MCC: 330
MNC: 260
Auth type: not set
Apn type: Not set

if youre on T-Mobile the only p[lan that will work is the 25$ android data plan. (you need to call tmobile support and ask for it to get it for 25, otherwise its 30 online)

Mine is the same but APN is epc.tmobile.com & MCC is 310. Does location change this?

No you are absolutely correct, wrong info on my part.
I will have to start double checking before I post.

Hmm... As of right now, I have default settings and it cycles through GPRS, E, and 3G, and even no data connection. Just very weird... I did erase the server "*" and the 4 characters under password and that didn't do anything. My MCC is 310 and MNC is 260. South Florida (if that matters)

Hmm upgrade your SIM?
I would go to the store and see if they can let them know tech support sent you. I've seend this fix 3G issues. Make sure you do have the android data plan and use epc.tmobile apn i posted with the fixes in the following post.

i'm curious, since it was mentioned about 25(30) plan
im grandfathered in to the 5.99 and the "hack" still works on my winmo phones for unlimited. reason i havent really wanted to update is cause i'm rarely on 3g i always get edge access (i dont have a nexus one yet, hence my question here). if i'm only getting edge in my area (i dont have the option for discount so going with full price on n1) any major drawbacks to not getting the 25/30$ plan?

My unlimited data plan is only $20. I'm grandfathered in from way back.

MMS Trouble

As soon as I got my Hero and put my AT&T SIM in, everything worked. But, I noticed when someone sent me MMS, It showed up inside a text message with a "Download" bubble that I had to click on to load the picture/video. Are my APN settings wrong ? Is there a way to just get the message to show up ?
also I've noticed I need to have data (mobile network, NOT wifi) on for it to download the picture/video.

For MMS i think you do need to be on your mobile network yes, wi-fi wont work.
Sounds like you need to go to your MMS settings and check the option to auto-download MMS if you dont want to do it manually each time. You'll know its working becuase when you get an MMS in messages youll be given a small icon preview and clicking on it will open in in gallery.

thank you for responding. I already have "auto retrieve" selected

do I need to have two APNs in my settings (one for Edge, one for MMS) ?

I'm with orange and i have different APNs for the internet and for MMS. I'd check with T-Mobile on that one. Maybe give customer services a call?

(I think he means check with AT&T.)
I had similar issues with Telus, but even when I fixed my APN there was still something wrong on their end, so I had to make a call to them and they fixed it for me.

I have AT&T and only set up 1 APN and I get a "download" button, but it seems like it's already downloaded because the second I click "download" it's already loaded up. When you say "download bubble" do you mean you click on the bubble and then it sits there downloading the picture and it shows up a few seconds later? Or are you looking for a way to automatically show the image within the text convo? Because I don't think that last one is possible.

also
I have been flashing ROMs like crazy, trying to find the best one to suit my needs, and at one point, on some ROM (can't remember which), MMS would just download automatically and show up on the screen. no download button or anything.
Hoping I can find out which one it was, and what the settings were for MMS, and get that working again.
Will post if I find out.
rpimps: could you detail your APN settings here so I could try that ?

for the MMS proxy, should I use
wireless.cingular.com
or
66.209.11.32
also should the port be set to "80" or "8080"
found conflicting answers on these two areas

thanks for the help

(TEST) Working for me t-mobile mms picture and data APN setting

I see people having problems sending picture messages via mms so I would like you share what I have done to get mine to work considering the amount of time it took me to figure out. I still can't send or receive pictures with wifi on but texts work ok and internet has been perfect with no drops in 24 hours. I have checked so many forums I am just going to thank everyone and also say I'm sorry if this s a overpost.
HERE IS WHAT I DID:
1. First wifi must be off.
2. Copy your current apn settings so you can replace them if tis doesn't work for you.
3. Delete all apn's
4. New Apn
Fill in exactly like this:
Name: (whatever you wanna call it)
APN: My APN
MMS Protocol: WAP 2.0 (if it asks)
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
AUTH TYPE: NONE
APN TYPE: default,mms
5. Save
Now this setting allowed me to keep my mobile network connection without my data dropping once when tested for a week but did not let me send or recieve picture mms messages. I did not find these setting but someone else here on xda posted them and I give them all the credit.
Now make a second new APN and fill it in as follows:
Name: (whatever you want to call it)
APN: epc.t-mobile.com
Proxy: 216.155.165.050
Port: 8080
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS Proxy: 216.155.165.050
MMS port: 8080
MMS Protocol: WAP 2.0
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
Authentication Type: none
APN TYPE: <not set>
Save
I cant take credit for this setting either because I found it in the forum somewhere but I think this is what I found and its a big questionable think.
Highligh second settings dot or the one with the APN: epc.t-mobile.com
Now, I noticed you have to add them in this order or you wont get the dot to select the second apn listed because there is no "APN type" filled in but do it this way and you should get a dot at apn screen. After adding these two settings, I have had perfect pictures and been able to send and receive them.
If you receive a picture message with wifi on, I also found a fix for that because it will seem your mms connection is frozen. Simply unchecking and rechecking mobile network box did not solve this problem for me. Go to mobile networs-apn-highlight first apn dot (APN: my APN)-wait for data icon to disappear-then re-highlight second dot ( APN: epc.t-mobile.com) and back out. Data should reconnect and start working again.
Please test this out and see if it works for you if your having problms and let me know the outcome. I hope for a least one ataboy! LOL

The second APN settings are like mine, with no data issues...

Can you guys post your data speeds?
No matter what ROM/Android/kernel combo I use, I can't seem to get consistent data speeds above 200-300kb/s in HSDPA. I should be getting 1Mb/s, but I'm not.
I haven't had problems with SMS/MMS, but data drops do happen a couple times a day.

I was having same problems with a different build I was using then swithed builds and everything is fine.
Here is my set-up:
task 29 (important step)then flashed energy ToG edition updated 12/5
reformatted sd card
Android version: core droid hd updated 12/13 stock kernel h 8.5.3
radio: 2.10.50.26 (whatever stock tmobile is I'm not sure about .26 but first 3numbers are correct)
Only inputed second apn setting listed above and works great.
battery drain seems a bit high but I dont care it works great.
I want to add that the new core droid hd is awesome and by far the best build i've tested in my opinion. Give it a try.
In the city of st. paul mn I have got 4.2 download and around 2+ upload with above apn setting

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.

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".
