Correct APN Settings for Andoid on HD2

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>
Password <not set>
Serveer <not set>
MMSC http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMC 310
MNC 260
Authentication Type <not set>
APN type default,supl,mms

MMSC 310 ??

Where to change APN
I have installed android 2.2 Froyo Stone on SD card and the internet doesnt work, only over WIFI, where do I add the APn settings?

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..

TMobile MMS APN is:
APN - epc.tmobile.com
MMSC - mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS Protocol - WAP 2.0
MCC - 310
MNC - 310
APN Type - mms
Can someone assist me? Thanks in advance!!!

Any idea what build your are talking about?

Here's Correct TMOBILE SETTINGS work flawlessly on every build i try
all settings in one apn
NAME: T-Mobile US
APN: epc.tmobile.com
PROXY: Blank
PORT: Blank
USERNAME: Blank
PASSWORD: Blank
SERVER: wap.voicestream.com
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS PROXY: 216.155.165.50 <--------- THE .50 is the major change i found.
MMS PORT: Blank
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
AUTH TYPE: NONE <--this is another changed setting. do not leave blank.
APN TYPE: default,supl,mms <-- This also seems to be important.

There are a lot of topics about this issue yet you tend to ignore searching.
Okay, for your lazy asses:
1. Have you checked/edited the dns settings in build.prop?
2. Have you checked/edited UA and WAP profiles in system/customize/mns/default.xml and system/etc/mm_property.conf?

Ok Im having the "Blurry MMS Pics" issue also. I new to some of this, But I did check the files you quoted above. I've changed the mm_property.conf file to reflect the NexusOne and Not Bravo as I've read but still no fix.
So upon reading the above post I checked the build.prop. Its showing : bravo still? Dont know if this makes a diff

Build.prop is only for dns. Try using mytouch 4g or rhodium for UA. It works for me. Send me a pm if you need more help.

jose makalolot YOU ARE THE MAN!!!!!!!!!!!! The KEY to all of this is you HAVE to erase your cache :That is, go to settings>SD & Phone storage then do a factory reset. Or via magldr, Hold down power button until bootloader loads, go to services and wipe!.
If you are using CWM, you can do wipe data, wipe cache and wipe dalvik-cache in advanced.
Thanks jose makalolot for all your help!!!!!!!!!!! My MMS is now working, not blurry!

Do you even know how many threads/posts include build.prop HD2, t-Mobile, DNS, etc. etc.

i had the same problem when i first installed android on nand was my apn settings. strangely i kept losing all connection when i used a froyo build but since then i've never experienced dropped connections anywhere except basements and such

i've had that problem. it's halfway fixed. i just can't download the mms messages.

You may need to update your apn.
Google your supplier your region and apn... Eg vodafone uk apn.
Then goto settings, wireless & networks, mobile networks, access point names.. Check that what you get from google is in there.

Anyone else with simple mobile having problems receiving mms on there G2?

Title says it all, mine only work every once in a blue moon.

Its the one thing that is frustrating me with their service. It has worked MAYBE Twice.
Its the APN settings. It has to be something, no pun intended, simple in them that has to be added or taken away.

Agreed, I'm trying to figure it out

Keep me posted. I have tried everything from their website to their facebook page and even from a couple of threads here on xda. It seems that its somewhat device specific. There is no true 'setting'. I just got tired of trying different things and told everyone to email me because most everyone I know has a smartphone to do that with nowadays... still would like the option though. Knowing its busted annoys.

Maybe this will help:

What's interesting is there are no MMS Protocol option in my apn settings. I am trying these and will post results anyway, though. But my experience is always different when the variables are not the same.
Edit:
Yeah, doesn't seem to be working. Just keeps sending but never finishes. This is annoying!

I have simple mobile and its working fine on my end. Sometimes receiving will lag and i wont get a picture here and there but for the most part it works. Also i only have 1 apn set but when i had my g1 i had 2(two) like the poster above said.

What is the success rate of downloading your picture messages?
also, can you just post your APN settings?

Have you tried changing the authentication settings as yet?
I just have one apn. The thing I noticed when I put two in is that our phones only use one at a time. There is no switch off component. we choose which settings and thatss the one it uses. I did that with the recommendation from the user who posted the settings and had a differnt set for the mms. After doing it I saw that it was useless because of the fact that you can only use one at a time.
I have sent myself photes on a number of occasions and they have worked everytime. I have noticed that it DOES NOT work on wifi. My apn settings are the default set with the authentication set to chap. That's it! Go to the apn settings and hit menu, then hit reset to default. It takes a minute or two. After, when it gets set, go to the and set chap auth. That's it.
I have tried to upload a screen shot but all the browsers and even the xda app won't let me. But that's the subject of another thread!
Hope this helps. Let me know when you have tried it.

I get them but they r almost always jacked up some how. The text won't show or the picture won't show or the pic will flash on the screen for like .01 seconds...

MMS and Aurora

Hello there,
I have the latest Aurora ICS version, but when I enable mobile data and try to download MMS, nothing happens, I simply can't transfer them.
Any ideas how I can fix this?
Thanks a lot, it would really help.

Do you have the mms profile properly configured according to your network provider(APN)? And did you make sure your data is really enabled in the settings->mobile networks?

yep exactly after that you just need to go to settings->mobile network-> access points names and create a new option with the settings that you obtained from the web. or you could just call your service provider and ask for the mms apn or profile
