I think this depends on your carrier's apn settings.
On Orange in the UK, I have separate apns for data and mms, so I can disable or enable them separetely.
Other carriers use a single apn for both however.
there is no way to do this because of the way android uses access points. i know, i want to do this too. i dont like how android only has either on or off data. other phones, like my symbian devices for example, data only turns on when you open an app that needs data. and when you close that app the data session terminates, which saves a tremendous amount of battery life.
android on the other hand keeps an always-on data connection, no matter what, even when the phone is not doing anything or using any data. this is why android devices get such poor battery life compared to other devices.
yah. in settings, theres only 1 apn for t-mobile. thats sucks. some ppl said apndroid works but i cant seem to figure out a way to make it not go on net while allowing mms. that sux. =3 was soo hoping i can use mms now since my old 1st gen iphone couldnt
thats kinda stupid too cuz im tryin to accept pictures which should theoretically count as just messages or counted under the texting plan (unlimited for me) but the phone uses "data" to download it.
I don't see the point on using mms at all in smartphones, it is so much easier to just attach the picture to an email.
Well, for me at least, since my carrier gives me unlimited data an no mms at all. But still, its been ages I don't get an mms from someone.
Back to the topic, unless you have separated apn for data and mms there's no way to disable one and keep the other. At least I don't know how.

I'm pretty sure if you create a APN with only the MMS settings, and set it as MMS type, it should only do mms.
OP, have you called your carrier and asked them for proper APN settings for what you want to to do?

i dont think that will work. he currently has mms working fine. this is a limitation with android OS. for example symbian you can turn off the data connection, and when an mms comes in, the data turns on and retrieves the message, then closes the data connection. android cannot do this. with android data is either on completely, all the time, or off completely all the time. and since mms grabs the pic via the data connection, it wont work if data is turned off.

WITHOUT Data Plan:
Name: mms
APN: wap.voicestream.com (This is generic settings without T-Mobile data plan)
username: mms
password: mms
MMSC: 216.155.174.84/servlets/mmsservlets/mms
MMS Proxy: 216.155.165.050
MMS Port: 8080
Give T-Mobile a call, they will probably give you the same settings.
I use data toggle widget from market for my wifes phone and when I disable it gives me option to keep mms on.. hope it helps

i stand corrected, i was wrong i thought it was tied to the system data connection.
Yeah, just create a second APN and set its type to 'mms'. Keep your main one as type 'default, supl'. That way, you can disable your main APN and your MMS will still work fine (if that's what you want)
when i change the 2nd one to mms, i lose the dot next to the APN to enable it? i tried deleting the 1st apn but i cant recieve again
umm im confused what are you trying to do? receive mms? i have the 10 tmobile data plan and what i did was change the default apn name to
T-Mobile US-MMS
then the apn type to
mms
create a second apn and name it
T-Mobile US
APN: internet2.voicestream.com
Port:80
MCC:310
MNC:280
APN type: default
This should fix most people's problems with sending and receiving MMS.
There are 2 APN settings, one for Internet and one for MMS.
Copy the MMSC, MMS Proxy, and MMS Port settings from the MMS APN over to the internet APN. *DON'T DELETE ANY APN SETTINGS* No restart is required.
I'm assuming the phone has issues switching between APN's or just doesn't attempt using the second APN. Let me know if this works for you or doesn't.

You'll likely want to mention which carrier this applies to, as personally I only have one APN, MMS is in it, for "Cingular".

Do you have this steps?
yes please post the steps! i have some APN manager apps but I'm only aware of one set of APNs (i.e. one XML file). Are there others?
Can you please give more info on how to fix this. Please I've had my phone like this for like the last three months, and I really need your help. Thanks in advance.

hd2 energy rom with android 2.2, windows 6.5 t-mobile. i get the error message posted on this thread. the problem is that i dont have any apn settings. i tried adding new and saving it. nothing appears.
Hi.
I've used many, many APN settings over the past 6 or so months, and on top of living in a valley and get really bad data inside my house my APN setting weren't helping matters I've came to realize. If I walk 2 or 3 doors up I get 5 bars and 3g or H getting over 5 MPS. Since I've used these settings, I always have at least between 1 and 3 bars in my house and constant Edge with 3G on and off. This is due to my new APN Settings. With ANY OTHER APN setting I used I would barely ever get a bar in my house and I had to end up putting money on my Fring account, and I tried Truphone too.. they both worked great but I don't want to pay an extra
$10 or $20 a month to make calls from home.With these new APN settings I don't need , (fring,skype,truphone ect..) anymore. Here are the settings if anyone wants them.. Remember, these are for the HTC HD2, running android, T mobile USA PERIOD.. Just Tmo US.. nowhere else..
Name T-Mobile US
APN epc.tmobile.com
Proxy <not set>
port <not set>
Username <not set>

Serveer <not set>
MMSC http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc

On your phone go to Menu > Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > Access point names. Once you are there you can edit an existing APN if there is one. If not, press Menu and then you can choose to add a new APN. After you enter all the info for your new APN, press Menu and then save. Go back to home screen, wait a while for your new settings to update and connect, and you should have data!
I keep having issues with mms, in wm i'm able to do it all with out issues. in android, froyosence 3.2, radio is 2.12.50.02_2, when i just input the apn settings given here i was able to receive a mms instantly, however about 2 min later i went to send one and it wont send says "unable to send message Generic Network Failure. What i'm curious about is if the android data plan will make any difference with this issue. it also seams that the issue is not the apn so much as it is mobile data drops connection, however internet browsing forces a connect but it does nothing for the mms.. receive or send. any clues on if switching data plans will fix this or what the issue i need to be looking at is to resolve this issue. thanks
i dont think everyone else has said it enough THANKS!!!!! life saver you are!

Hmmm, that's a thought. But before you go and shell out the cash for an androiod data plan see if you can borrow a friends sim card that has an android plan and see it works.. better yet, my daughter has an android plan,, I'll use her sim card real fast later today and try it and let you know...If I forget please remind me..

Your answer is in the first 2 pages of this general forum. Little research will go a long way. Search for ATT apn settings.

Put in the sim card, go to settings - wireless and networks - mobile networks - check "on" Use packet data. Than press Acces point names and create new APN. Depends on what data plan you have you enter the APN settings. I am on grandfathered unlimited AT & T data plan so I created APN called cingular 410. All the settings for this APN you will find easy on this forum, if not, send me private email I will email it to you.It is not hard to set it up even if you are not really computer geek. ( I am not )

Thanks I have h+ and 3g working I just can't send pictures it just sits there with the circle rotating for ever...but I can get picture mail...what did I do wrong...PS thanks again
I was told just delete any apn in there. Create a new one and put ATT and Phone in the first two lines and the system will do the rest.
However, I have the same problem as the poster above, I can send/receive calls, get text but no picture message
It just sits there trying to send it out for ever...see picture below
At the bottom of your apn settings under apn type make sure you have internet and mms checked.
check but still no go on MMS
What is mmsc and what should that be at god this is really pissing me off I have done everything three time and still can't get it to work
I have this problem too! I added port 80 to my apn settings for mms port. At first I thought that cleared it up. But I still have a problem from time to time. Anyone?
Note: I only have issues with sending attachments, like pictures, to text messages (ie mms). Emailing attachments works fine.

Ok, I went through this drill with AT&T and it took a couple calls to get things sorted out after I activated my new line for my phone. I had precisely the same issue that you did where everything worked except MMS.
#1 - Be SURE they double checked that they provisioned your phone correctly on the back end. Unless your phone was correctly provisioned, your phone's APN settings don't mean jack. Ensure that AT&T setup your phone on the back end as though it was a Samsung Galaxy S2 (not the Skyrocket though). I had to get past tier 1 support to get my issues corrected.
#2 - Remove any and all APN entries you already have there and setup your phone as follows:
Under Settings\Mobile network settings: Use packet data (check to enable)
Tap 'Access Point Names'
Tap the menu button, left of the home button and choose 'New APN'
Name: AT&T WAP
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
Port: 80
Username <not set> - Leave this alone
Password: <not set> - Leave this alone
Server: <not set> - Leave this alone
MMSC: http:/mmsc.cingular.com
MMS proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication type: <not set> - Leave this alone
APN type: internet + mms
Do NOT forget to tap menu again and choose 'save'
This should work without rebooting the phone, but I rebooted mine anyway because they asked me to.
Again, make sure they correctly provisioned your phone and tell them that it should be setup as though it is a Galaxy S2 (not the Skyrocket).
My phone went from 3G/H+ with only sms and NO MMS reading/sending to full functionality once they fixed a provisioning issue AND only with the right APN settings, which AT&T gave me from their Galaxy S2 phone configs.
Enjoy.

the MMSC url should have read http with 2 slashes and not one like this: "http:/"
XDA won't let me post proper URL's until I have 8 posts, so forgive the intentional typo It keeps stopping me each time to try and find a way to fix it. I even had to wait 5 minutes to make the point of correction.
Spammers really have a way of making this suck for the rest of us...

So.. I was having issues getting MMS over stock messenger. I goog-fu'd some APN settings and managed to get MMS working. So I was like "oh there's a bunch of APNs in here. I'm going to delete them". Well, after I had changed the APN and deleted all the others I realized I'm only getting 3G now instead of 4G/LTE. Now I don't have any of the other APNs that were in the phone beforehand. I live in Atlanta, so I know it's not a cell network issue.
This is the one I have now that works with MMS, but only allows 3G. I've tried a whole bunch of otheres from around the internet. Some don't even allow the APN to be saved. After I hit save it just exits the APN and the APN isn't in the APN list. I think that happens anytime the MCC <> 311 or the MNC <> 480.
So rather than somebody linking to someplace on the web, would anybody with Verizon be so kind as to post screenshots of ALL the APNs and settings that are in their APN list?
Thanks for the help!

I only have one APN. Here you go
