Are any developers working on mms?
No. Everyone wants a phone without certain features working.
Cmon. Patience. These devs are working their butts off on numerous things... ESPECIALLY those that are common problems!
MMS is working on my cm6 rc1 build by zego.. i'm with tmo and the settings was the default settings from when i first loaded this android build. I've seen ppl complain about it not working and some does like mine for instance. So i'm guessing it depends on the settings of your one's network provider..

I'm also on T-mobile US I couldn't send mms with any version of Android. I kept searching on here... no luck so then i seen someone post that it was working for them they were using the Miri 23569 v17.6 rom so i changed roms and it started working i have not really tested it with any other version of Android but the Cyn6 but it is working for me there with 2.10 radio.

Jus to let u know u can edit posts while using the XDA app, jus long press your post and select Edit.
And to OP, the devs don't like when people bug about features that they know don't work or have bugs, they'll get to them as time comes, jus wait like everyone else.

interesting, i have the same problem just can't send mms. im using miri v17 right now. maybe i will try v17.6
just swapped over to miri 17.6 and the 2.10 radio. MMS receiving still works. however sending does not. also tried settings listed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=735532&highlight=MMS+settings&page=104
no dice.
A few strange things i do notice though. when you first start trying to send, the data icon on the top bar acts like its interacting with servers. i killed all processes to try and ensure there was no background data going on, still acted the same.
I then long pressed on the MMS i was trying to send and viewed the message details. Interesting find... The message details claims the entire message is only 1kb.
im going to continue to play with settings and see whats up.
disregard the possible background data. that data was being used restoring apps from the last android version i had installed.
I cant believe that I have my CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) i did not notice this.
IP address octets cannot have a octet begin with a 0
So. having said that. use these settings and have a great time sending messages.

I asked the developers not you! actually u replying to my thread is meaningless since u dont have any info on mms. I know wat the developers has done thus and we all are thankful. But this thread was made to either get some working mms, the status, some different settings i havent tried or for a dev to post the current progress on mms. now go sit in the corner and take a time out.

what are the settings?
ROM's with no SenseUI and stock Messaging App should work without error as long as APN is correctly Set. Stock/Non-Sense UI Rom's APN:
Code:
NAME: T-Mobile US
APN: epc.tmobile.com
PROXY: <Not Set>
PORT: <Not Set>
USERNAME: <Not Set>
PASSWORD: <Not Set>

MMS PROXY: <Not Set>
MMS PORT: <Not Set>
MMS Protocol: WAP 2.0
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
AUTH TYPE: None
APN TYPE: default,supl,mms
ROM's WITH SenseUI all have the same issue/bugs if you are on T-Mobile in the US (even with the correct APN's set).
MMS pictures are shrunk to tiny tiny 2kb images when receiving with that HTC Messaging App, this is because Sense sends in the user-agent string for MMS found in: /system/customize/MNS/default.xml
T-Mobile's MMS server's doesn't recognize the "HTC Desire" user-agent string therefore when receiving MMS, you get a tiny tiny thumbnail pic. I think you can set it to "NexusOne" Or was it "Nexus One/Build FRFxx". Forgot if it was one or the latter. (OH.. this is only for TMOUS People, I don't think this affects european peeps, since the Desire Rom was made for that region.) Problem with this is, I think those settings are loaded with the initial setup (first boot, and I'm not sure where it's stored afterwards. If you modify now and save it, it seems to have no effect. Also, customized SenseUI seems to ignore the file altogether?)
Those with incorrect, or missing APN's using any ROM with SenseUI. If you are on T-Mobile, your settings should be as follows (This will allow you to send and receive, but theres the file size restriction):

tesing multiple message sending now. with initial settings.
Multiple mms on initial settings works. have sent 4 different pictures to multiple numbers. all confirmed working.
just tried it to no avail, running nrg's glass wm, 2.12 radio and dan's froyo v1 with the latest zimage.

i can receive them now, which i couldn't consistently before. still no luck getting them out however.
i should add that it shows the correct file size when i send it as far as i know, none of them have popped up as being 1kb.
If the message details show 1kb you have not sent a message out
working diligently right now.
I beginning to think Miri's ROM is the factor that is allow those to be able to send. Cause i sent 3, and not a single one worked for over 15 min had the logo, wifi, no wifi, and different radios.
Tried 2 other roms and 2 other android builds per winmo rom. nothing worked.
Did not try experimenting with radio tonight but after all was said and done. went back to the first setup ( Android; Shub / Miri 17.6
ok... something really weird is going on. With different builds i sent all different pictures of random items ( lighters, coins, water bottles ). now those builds that failed my testing were all taken off. SD card was formated between builds. I ended up going back to the setup I had when i started this thread, because it works.
Now i have the people who's picture i sent randomly saying that they are getting their pictures. 3 different pictures and people. Keep in mind that this is AFTER I formatted and went back to the working setup. so i didnt have the same pictures on the sd card.
Thoughts?
I think the problem is the windows rom. I tried many different android builds none of them allowed me to send mms. I was only able to receive them.
the serve is not epc.tmobile.com!
Its wap.voicestream.com
stop thinking its epc. Its not. Thats bs it doesnt work very well!

Hi,
I have tried many SD build available in here, but some how I am unable to get my 3G working.
Currently I am using HTC HD2 with build PPC_SHIFTPDA SERIES (RAM) Edition
(28.Jan).
I am able to see 3G icon, but all it does is transmit data arrow blinking, no receiving data.
To clarify I am currently at Manila using Globe.
any help will be greatly appreciated.
Have you checked your APN settings? That's normally the problem when you can't get a data connection.
Hi Thanks, yes I have checked APN.
Same APN settings works on my Windows Mobile
Guys any help will be appreciated.. please help

The problem is that my gps doesn't work, nor does my data. I'm really new at this and i was wondering if anyone knows an easy fix to the gps/data problem that I am having?
Any suggestions are welcome, but be advised that im still new to this.
Thanks in advance to any help.
Is there anyone that can help?
Oh btw I am running a dual boot of WP7 and Android. The WP7 is the first dft release and the Android is from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944288
So is anyone out there that can help me?
The question is: what have you tried?
apn settings etc etc.... more info needed
The apn settings are as follows:

I really don't know what else there is to know, but these are the settings that came with the build. I haven't tinkered with them at all.
UPDATE:
I just figured out that the gps does work but the data connection will just turn off. Now i dont know what would cause all of this. If some one can shed some insight on the fix for this i would be grateful. Some one please help?

thnx ill try them now, i already tried the first one and for some reason the data just turns off on its own when using the WP7 it wouldnt. I dont know if its something with the roaming or what. But thanks for your input
Ok, from what i have been trying it seems to me like this has something to do with the rom. I have searched the thread on how to dual boot and i havent fpund this issue brought to light.
Recently i've been pretty much copying other t-mobile phones' apn settings but with no avail. So if there is anybody out there that has had the same issue or found a fix, please contact me asap. This is getting on my nerves....
I know I had to hunt forever to find these so I thought I would post them to make it easier for anyone flashing custom firmware. Every time I reflash or do a factory reset it deletes my APN settings and apparently AT&T's technical support doesn't know how to set them up. They actually referred me to Motorola. Anyways, here they are.
You can also use the attached zip along with APN Manager from the market. I don't recall who posted the original zip so thanks anonymous internet savior.

Thanks, lost my APNs after flashing Alien #3 and this information was very useful!
thanks! I also flashed from alien #3 and it only gave me AT&T 310 410 as the APN.
Thankss youuu
THANK YOU so much for this listing! Someone sticky this if it hasn't been, APN listings FTW. Huge help.
here is a flashable cwm of the at&t apn's
No problem guys. Was hoping someone would find this useful. Just glad I could finally contribute something.

Thanks a ton !! This saved me bigtime !! Alien V4 only gave me 1 apn (AT&T 310 410), and this restored all of the stock ones.
Only question is, should I select 'att us' or 'att us hsdpa' ?
Thanks !
I default to hsdpa, but both should work fine in theory
Tune it to the HSDPA I have seen better results with this setting but yes either one can be ok.. I just prefer knowing that I do have HSDPA so assume you have the same thing Cheers..
has anyone run speed tests to confirm better speeds? I have att and att tethering apns, does the hsdpa have better download or is it already intergrated into the one I have?
It should be the same. You can got to speedtest.net to confirm. When you enter the URL from your phone it will redirect you to the Android market. At that point you will be able to download the speedtest app. You may also be able to just search for it in the market.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
I run the speed test on mine I was getting about 1.5mbps down and 1.0 up with wap.Cingular,and with hsdpa I got 3.2 down and up. That fairly comparable to what others are seeing? Havent tried it while connected to wifi yet...
Does this mean I will not use HSDPA when I tether?
What is the purpose of the tether APN?
reactivating data
since yesterday when i was trying to refresh my contacts, i managed to mess up my wireless data connection. i am unable to reconnect. i have reflashed and reinstalled all apns...rebooted phone etc, but cant get wireless data back. any thoughts on why?

The ATT-Tether APN wil flag the traffic as requiring a tethering plan. If the phone is un-hacked this is how ATT blocks the tethering for those who have not bought it.
The key is
APN Boadband.
which can only be used if you bought the tethering plan.
While the generally available option
APN PHONE

The ATT-Tether APN wil flag the traffic as requiring a tethering plan. If the phone is un-hacked this is how ATT blocks the tethering for those who have not bought it.
The key is
APN Boadband.
which can only be used if you bought the tethering plan.
While the generally available option
APN PHONE

Exactly, the tether is specifically for tethering. From what I saw when I had the tethering plan was that it still had the same speed but it connects to a different system that is designed for tethering. I think the main difference is so that it doesn't route your computer to WAP sites. It uses isp.cingular instead of wap.cingular.

Why aren't people just using sql editor to disable the entitlement check? I do with every rom and have never gotten any kind of letter or problem.
