T-Mobile FOTA APN? - myTouch 3G Slide General

This may seem like an odd question, but it might be Group related?
I go to my APN list, and there are 3 apns listed. They are as follows...
T-Mobile Data, T-Mobile FOTA, T-Mobile MMS.
I saw a post on engadget about the official froyo update for the EVO 4G, and it had the same FOTA abbreviation in the screenshot for the OTA update. Knowing that .the EVO runs the Sense UI, could this mean that T-Mobile is gearing up for an official froyo update? Again this could all be coincidence, but I thought I would bring it to everyone's attention.
BTW, I'm running the champion build with the latest build, rooted of course.

Froyo related, not group related. My bad.

Latest radio, not build lol. I should really spell check before I post.

It just the server that they send ota updates on.... it can send any update through the apn; entire new os builds like 2.2 or just minor ones like a software update for sync contacts fix. I doubt we'll see froyo until late fall. Sense usually takes longer but maybe we'll be surprised and get it in a month? Who knows...

I had the same 3 APN's but here is the kicker, when I was having MMS trouble, the rep actually had me remove the T-Mobile MMS APN. So I am not sure if the APN's hold a significant value for the froyo update.

What?! How do you get mms/sms if your mms apn is deleted?! That makes no sense... One is data: the other is mms: and the other is for ota. What's so complicated about that?

Well, it would solve your MMS problem. Now you just don't have to worry about it anymore cause you can't send or receive them no matter what!

If I'm not mistaken the normal APN has MMS settings filled in, for some reason u only need the minimal to send and recieve MMS messages. Not all tha fields you needed for WinMo

Ah. That may work if MMS is configured in to the regular APN as well, never tried that. I don't use t-mobile so I don't have the access point info to look at.

try putting 8080 for the port number in your apn settings.
a few members have said the data upload is simply too slow right now to send MMS. Confirm this by attempting to send a very small MMS(less than 15kb).

T mobile mms without data ?

Hi Guy, my friend showed my he can sent and received the picture through text message with his iPhone . But he told he doesn't has data plan but unlimited SMS.
Does any know how to set that?

Call Tmobile?
I have that too, but I got my texting plan 2 years ago, so it might not be around anymore. To my knowledge, with the new plans, you have to have data for MMS.
Yes, on Tmobile you can send MMS w/o data plan. You must have the correct settings under the Cellular Data Network. Use MMS APN: wap.voicestream.com
Google for a Tmobile MMS fix for IOS 4. Good luck & have fun.

on a rooted one I believe it does as you can spoof the STOCK sms/ mms app to use an user agent like Nokia n95 or blackberry 8xxx, both of those phones use the regular texting plan to send and receive MMS. I did this with my mytouch 3g since like cyanogen mod 4-6...
btw you will have to change your APN settings to match that of a regular no data required phone.

are you on a vanilla rom or cooked rom? if you're on a cooked rom then use the stock sms app..(AOSP roms) hit menu> settings> Custom user agent and click blackberry 8800 (that way you can use the regular edge network to send MMS) and your pictures won't be compressed
edit: make sure your data network is turned on. Otherwise when you toggle data it also disables the MMS settings.

looks like an AOSP rom so you should be able to spoof the MMS settings using the stock sms app. some market sms apps might be able to spoof the sms agent, but I am not sure since I only use the stock android messaging app.

im currently testing this and can send mms to myself, by way of the go sms pro app....it allows sending mms to yourself with a viewing pic......
AOSP ROMS
1. Delete the MMS.apk and mms odex if there is one from /system/app
2. install Go sms Pro from the market
3. Setup go sms Pro for Full features.
4. in go sms pro app hit menu>settings>>MMS settings>Fill APN config Manually

Good info
Thanks.
I saved it for records
ill try it, but i was looking into something else.. im kind of close.
basically what i did was pull the mms.apk file from a rom
someone was using with boostmobile.
then i copied it into the zip file of the rom i initially want to use.
but the messaging app crashes and i figured its because im using
stock gingerbread and that rom was created in 2010.
so Im still looking
What changes were made to the mms.apk? Could you post this apk?

Ive tried removing the sprintpcs, could it be the donor phone that was used to set up the account? I read that, that may be the issue if the phone couldn't receive pics. Hmmmm
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
i used a rant, what'd you use? maybe nand bckup, titanium bkup apps, and then factory reset wipe, cache and dalvik cache and start fresh with rom install. Maybe your attempts to get mms has tweaked something? the only thing not working for me is voicemail notifications from stock voicemail app----- i hear it works with Kingdom Rom though.
If your donor provides 3g i'd be surprised if it didn't accept MMS.....try it after a clean install
i change my roms every week.
i didnt flash the phone myself had it done in atlanta.
its never came straight to phone.....i was showed to follow link after it was done. no idea what phone was used.
thanks for your help...i believe i will just wait until i upgrade the phone to something else to get it done properly.
No idea when thats going to be...i just made it to $45 a month with shrinkage

are you able to "update profile" and "prl update" ?
i was thinking maybe go sms program or apn settings/port might be conflicting and that a fresh install, then before restoring apps, setting up ##3282# then testing just to confirm.
i first had my evo on metropcs and mms wasn't working then, and it sucked. So I hope it works out for ya
oh yeah also- after editing in ##3282# hit menu >commit modifications then restart
....just in case....

Hey when you guys flashed a Gingerbread rom like Lithid 2.3.4 AoSP or Kingdom Sense, did your settings for Boost carry over aside from the MMS issue? I know prior Gingerbread ROMs has EPST access issues. Thanks

I agree. If you are receiving mms messages from a 9000 number its because of your donor phone. I am using a incognito and a ppc-6700 as donor phones. The incognito receives direct picture mail but the ppc-6700 does not. PPC-6700 doesn't support mms messaging. The url is http://mm.myboostmobile.com not Http://mm.myboostmobile.sprintpcs.com

htc evo on boost mobile rooted rom, mms settings solution ##3282# not working,
I could not change the Sprint MMSC settings to mm.myboostmobile.com due to my ##3282# not working and my settings were grayed out in my stock messaging settings not allowing me to edit them. I tried qpst and cdma workshop and dfs and a couple other programs but none of them were any help. I finally used an app from the market APN backup and restore on a friends EVO first to create the backup file sent thE file to my email so I would have it, then used that file to restore my EVO settings and wallah its working wonderfully , I can send and receive picture mail without having to open download links , I have that backup file if I can find a way to share it with you I will .
Sure just upload it to drop box or any file share and add the link here

Seperate apn for data and mms aosp/cm7

Is it possible to create a separate APN for MMS? Im not sure it is possible for aosp/cm7 roms, but like they do with sense, I would like to split apart the APN so i have one for data and one for mms. Im thinking if i disable the data, i can still send mms, but have data turned off.
Does this make sense? if it does, does anyone know what the settings for this rom would be?
BTW - I am a noob with the APN stuff, and i did give it a shot, but epic fail.
Thanks ahead of time.
You can't. The APN gives you access to the data network, which also is the same route that the MMS uses. So if you shut off data, you shut off MMS.
Thanks, but it must be possible, they do out in the sense roms. If you turn off data you can still send mms

I know for royal ginger you can toggle the data off, and using wifi, with wifi calling turned on, mms will send. Hope that helps . Not sure about other roms. RG is best

Nope. I know how MMS works with the network, because I work for T-mobile. MMS uses the exact same pipeline that the web uses. That's like asking how can I turn off data and still get Pandora to work by changing the apn. They both use the same route to get and send the info.
The option of using WIFI calling that was mentioned is the only other option.

Try APN Shortcut from the play store. I've used it on other Samsung phones to fix messed up APNs on AOSP ICS ROMs.
