T-Mobile US MMS on Android (problems with SD & NAND installs) - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hey guys,
I was using andriod for awhile via SD, then I switched over to a NAND install of it.
On any install of Android I've used, I've been having problems sending / receiving MMS.
I have the following APN settings plugged into my phone, but obviously something is not right with them.
Can someone who has Android running on their T-Mobile US phone that has MMS working please chime in and let me know what settings you have used.
I've search and found several variations of the settings, and I've tried every one I can find but nothing is working so far.
Here is what I currently have :
NAME : T-Mobile US
APN : epc.tmobile.com
PROXY : 216.155.165.050
PORT : 8080
USERNAME : none
PASSWORD : none
SERVER : none
MMSC : http://mms.msg.english.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS PROXY : 206.155.165.50
MMS PORT : 8080
MMS PROTOCOL : WAP 2.0
MCC : 310
MNC : 260
AUTHENTICATION TYPE : none
APN TYPE : none
Like I said above, I've tried others settings that are simular to my current ones but nothing has worked so far. I as well tried calling T-Mobile to get the APN settings from them, but they will not release them to me over the phone for whatever reason.
My 3G is working great, and I can send/recieve normal text messages. Just the MMS is not working correctly (pics, video, sounds, etc).
Thanks for any help
edit :
on a side note, it would be nice to know what each setting is for. where can I find that info at?

well first of all, this should be:
MMSC : http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc (not .english.)
MMS PROXY : 216.155.165.50 (not 206.)
and on my data connection at least, i dont need to set the proxy or port for the apn (the two above mms, i just leave them blank)

proxy is 216 on my phone. typo in my OP sorry.
However, the mmsc was wrong I guess. Changed it and things are working now.
Realy blurry mms pics though....

MMS
This is due to tmobile not being able to identify the phone and because of such is limiting MMS size to 2kb or something? I am currently looking for a fix to this..have not seen anything. Thankfuly the pics you send are recieved in full resolution

i belive you edit: root\system\etc\mm_property.conf and change: "wapprofile=(whatever its set as)" to: wapprofile=http://www.htcmms.com.tw/Android/Common/NexusOne/ua-profile.xml
the wap profile is what your provider uses to identify what device your using and resize the images correctly for your device while in transit.

I cant find the file your talking about...I can get to /etc/ but there is no mm_property.conf in there
Any help?

Thank you for this info
I was having the same problem, I entered the info you provided and now I'm able to send and receive mms.
thanks again

Ok I have found where to put this info but how do you pu the info there?

Here are the files to push to the phone, use adb shell.
Forewarning, this may not work, not because the files are incorrect, but because other then these files being there during initial setup, they dont always take.
I recently switched to zip roms (Using Clockwork Mod) which gives you the ability to change these files in the zip rom before flashing and loading to the phone. So far its the only method I have found to work.
But your all more then welcome to the files.
I dont remember which post I got them from, but no credit goes to me other then attaching them to this post.
These files fix the MMS re-size problem, the blurry pix sent problem, the recieving size problem, Picture size options: 300, 600, 1024, And all the APNs possible for near all phones.

I'm a noob so how do we do this step by step!! Thank in advance. I am running the zip Jaws-MIUI.

Take the rar you just downloaded and unrar it, after unraring it zip the files using rar and compression using store mode. name the zip update.zip, go into clockwork choose update.zip, and it should install the updates from my understanding.
In this form, it just may install and work correctly. post back with results.

I uploaded it and still nothing. I can send a pic to everyone except this certain person who is on att network.

I spend sometime looking a the mms winmo settings then after some attempts to duplicate them on android I notice that everytime something was change in the APN, the data would stop working, but not when only changing the mms port..try it and it worked....so of that port # doesn't work for some please check your winmo mms port # I think for the tmobile usa it should be the same.thou ...enjoy.

proper APN settings (like the ones listed on this thread) should fix MMS for most users. certain users will continue to receive blurry images and sometimes "failed to send message" errors...these people are the ones using builds with Sense.
MMS has ALWAYS been an issue on Sense ports. i have tried numerous sense/desire ROMs on my nexus one and MMS never functioned properly. stock 2.1/2.2 never gave any serious problems, just sense so a fix will take much more than just APN settings unfortunately.

This is correct. Sense builds suffer from the file compression that HTC messenger uses. At the present time there is not a fix that I am aware of.

in WinMo I always had a problem with most roms so i had to change settings from orignal to these (yes rhodium but it works like a charm)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Jataayu\MMS\SP]
"UserAgent"="Rhodium-1.0/arcsoft-mmsua-5.0.0.xx"
"UAProfile"="http://www.htcmms.com.tw/gen/Rhodium-1.0.xml"
is there a way to change these profiles in Android? cuz the default ones always caused MMS to be way too small... I know those settings are for WinMo and this is Android but wondering if it was possible... Thanks

thanks for the info , question do you think if someone could maybe modify the MMS.apk to help with this
im not quite sure. paul over at modaco's android forum usually releases ROMs with a custom kitchen that was filled with options. one of the options was HTC messaging or stock messaging on the desire/sense ROMs. i always picked stock simply because MMS worked like a charm. im not sure if anyone can implement the same swap on any of the builds we are using.
Tried these settings and still can't get mms to work on a stock 2.2 froyo rom. No sense. I posted about it over in the rom thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8151277&postcount=2336 to see if maybe the problem does lie in the mms.apk also. I extracted the mms config.xml but dont know what to look for.

[FIX] [TMOUS]Patched ROMS w/SenseUI Based MMS & other fixes. 10/20/2010

I've started modding rom's lil by lil, since I'm being generous, I will be providing direct downloads.
They are now located here: http://dev.chiasoft.net/HD2/
Please be nice to my server, if download is a little slow, its because theres too many of you on it, wait a few minutes for others to finish
Latest Update Oct 20: THIS THREAD IS FOR TMOUS users only!!
The Mdeejay rom's are patched, but aren't tested, since I didn't have time, apparently data is broken.
Been busy working on this.
I've been using my version of the FroyoStone 3.2 w/hastarin kernel for a whole day already, no reboot no data lock up, nothing! I installed setCPU and used conservative mode 245 min/1113 max. Changed to power save mode when not using it actively. Unplugged @ 8AM with 92% battery, and got back @ 11:00PM with 19% batery; casual use, music player, and a little bit of Angry Birds not internet heavy except the various push email sync's. Going on day 2 in 3 hours.
Those who still have weird data drops or freezes, I posted my Radio and Rom for WinMO combination in the readme. Perhaps that will solve the other issues
Now that I know this works good, I'm gonna find a DesireHD based rom to tune up
Download, and comment plz!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For T-Mobile US users, who have the regular $30/month data plan:
The correct APN Settings for T-Mobile US does not include any "MMS Proxy/Ports"!! Those settings will break https websites and some ssl stuff.
Code:
Name: T-Mobile US
APN: epc.tmobile.com
Proxy: <not set>
Port: <not set>
Username: <not set>
Password: <not set>
Server: <not set>
[STRIKE]<RMNET>[/STRIKE]MMSC: [url]http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc[/url]
[STRIKE]<PPP**>MMSC: [url]http://10.165.193.22/mms/wapenc[/url] [/STRIKE][I]found the issue, and fixed it. :D[/I]
MMS Proxy: <not set>
MMS Port: <not set>
MMS Protocol: WAP 2.0
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
Auth Type: <not set>
APN type: default,supl,mms
**Explanation in bottom of this post.
__________________________________________________________________
Those users who are on the $10 "wap unlimited internet" plan. You would need to setup your APN's a little differently.
Since I don't have that plan, I wont be able to help test and confirm that. You would need to search around for an APN combination which works for you.
__________________________________________________________________
The following is more for the ROM Dev's who cook the ROM's. But if you like to modify yourself, read on.
Code:
[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Network_Code[/url]
SenseUI Based ROM's by HTC are made so that the same ROM works across all regions/customizations.
If you look in the ./system/customize/ Folder in the ROM, you'll see theres a few files in there.
cid_map.xml defines the different Carrier specific customizations. (Particularly which languages are enabled, and dialer specific.)
mns_map.xml maps MCC/MNC Codes to a specific Profile.
For Example, if you want to have a custom T-Mobile US profile when a T-Mobile SIM is plugged in, or (AT&T Profile when an AT&T SIM is plugged in, 310410.xml), define 310260 and have a corresponding 310260.xml file in the ./system/customize/MNS/ directory.
This file is where you define the local news, RSS feeds, bookmarks, keyboard features, User-Agent strings for the various apps, etc, and a few MMS settings.
MMS_Msg_Size1=300K
MMS_Msg_Size2=600K
MMS_Msg_Size3=1024K
(Don't go over 1024K, I think thats about the limit set on T-Mobile & AT&T
And Finally,
In the ./system/etc/ directory there is a file called "mm_property.conf"
*change the wapprofile=" to "http://www.htcmms.com.tw/Android/common/NexusOne/ua-profile.xml"
This file controls what the MMS app can send/receive, enabled attachments, etc. Every ROM ported since forever has been using the "HTC Desire" device profile, and UA_String. [B]This is why on T-Mobile when you download an MMS or Send an MMS you get these tiny shrunk 2-3kb images.[/B]
This works for the SenseUI(Android 2.1/2.2) ports being used with a T-Mobile Device. (HD2, NexusOne etc..)
Keep in mind, if the sender's phone shrinks the attachment, then you will get whatever the final size is that the person uploaded.
EDIT:
Missing, Forgot, Lost APN's?
Extract [URL="http://www.chiasoft.net/apns-conf.zip"]this file[/URL] and throw into ./system/etc/
That should give you about all the APN settings for all providers.
i like your work but as far as that being the correct setting and it not including a proxy , i used this as my guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=766241 and i have mms sending in less than a minute..full pic size

thanks again!

EDIT 1: well it seems like its working how it should. im sending myself pics and im receiving them in the same resolution and size!...
EDIT 2: It seems i can send myself pics but when i send them to my brother's mytouch on the tmobile network all he gets is a blank message, as in no picture... but i can receive pictures from him...
EDIT 3: Ok, it does send pictures out using the default messaging app in froyostone V2 but when i try to send a picture via CHOMPSMS it doesnt go through... blank message

Each build is different, but like I said the proper settings for Sense MMS on TMOUS are the above, these were extracted from the MyTouch3G Slide. The servlet are for older phones and network towers prior to the upgrade. Also, when you upload via the servlet, they compress your image so the recipient gets it shrunk. HD2 ROM's have an issue with slow upload because of the RMNET method of getting online. PPP works way better in terms of upload but it still isn't implemented 100% yet. (download speedtest.net app and run a speedtest with RMNET and you'll see what I mean by slow upload.) But yea, use whichever works for you. I believe also if you use the old svrlet, you aren't able to send unicode. (e.g. East Asian characters, chinese/korean/japanese)

Is his myTouch modified in any way? It may be that his myTouch is limited to 600K. If thats the case, try sending a pic with the 600K limit. Then it'll download.
Also, I changed the default DNS servers in Froyostone to use 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4 instead of the opendns ones. They work faster imo.

Currently using the Mattc 1.7 PPP build, and your fix worked perfectly!
Thank you very much! This one was one of my biggest drawbacks to the Desire builds.
You are definitely deserving of donations for figuring the problem out and applying a fix!

Im happy with my build. Not starting from scratch. Thanks anyway.
I will wait until mattc includes it in the next update. I'm willing to make small changes that can be undone. Not a full overwrite.

Works great. MMS is working now. thanks a bunch.

HD2 T-Mobile MMS Issues.. Again

First off let me say I've been searching EXTENSIVELY on this issue.
I'm in the US on T-Mobiles HTC HD2 (obviously).
When I purchased the phone it had already been rooted (I believe that is the correct term). It was running winmo 6.5 along with Android on an SD card.
I haven't had the phone long but I've learned so much from this site regarding modding and such. I can NOT send MMS messages on Android (I believe I remember sending one on Winmo). I don't have a data plan and I've tried every single APN I've found. Still nothing.
I recently flashed my phone with the new MAGLDR. I used "MDJ_Revolution_HD_v._2.2_NAND". It runs pretty smooth.. Except no mms capability =(. I've updated the Radio to the most recent. 2.15~ (I think).
I've read that possibly it's the ROM I'm using. Like I said I've been searching, please bare with me on this question, but I'm a little confused on what a ROM actually is. From what I've read everything I've found is a "winmo" rom. I beleive the rom that came with my phone (note: it came from someone else, its not stock) is Energy? It's a blue logo at bootup.
Would I have better luck with the MMS if I flashed to another rom? And if so, how would that affect my android? This site is full of information and sometimes it's hard to sift through what I need and what is extra. ANY help on this matter would be greatly greatly appreciated.
Thank you

I didn't know that you could send an MMS without a data plan. Most Android builds won't send MMS over Wifi and without a data plan. Some of the new NAND builds have MMS working over Wifi.

My old Nokia would send good quality MMS without a data plan so I just assumed this would be the same. If you think this is the case then I suppose I can stop beating my head against the wall.
Thanks

I knew it! How did they get it working?
There were three phones on our family plan and none of them would send/recieve MMS. I don't know what they did to get it working, however, they sent information from the cell towers to the phones repeatedly until all three phones worked properly.
2 things u need to check out is to fix the problem,
1. (Boot Android) if u are in roaming area u need to go to your settings go to wireless and networks then go to mobile networks (NOT MOBILE NETWORK) and simply click on the checkmart data roaming to enable data tranfer over roaming coverage and then go to Accesspoint names and clik on the one avaliable. ( you should now be able to send and recieve MMS messages or send them over your network.

No sorry that wasn't it..
It turns out I needed to use a SPECIFIC APN if I didn't have a data plan. It was wap.voicestream.com and then the other stuff. I don't remember it. It works now!

The MMS should be setup as follows:
1. Settings --> Wireless and Networks --> Mobile Networks --> Access Point Names
2. The APN should be named "T-Mobile US"
3. Edit that or create it and the settings within should be:
Name: T-Mobile US
APN: epc.tmobile.com
Proxy: 216.155.165.050
Port: 8080
Username: (leave this blank)
Password: (leave this blank)
Server: (leave this blank)
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS Proxy: 216.155.165.50
MMS Port: 8080
MMS Protocol: WAP 2.0
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
APN Type: (leave this blank)
Once done, back your way out, maybe reboot the phone for good measure but shouldn't be required. To test success, send yourself a picture message (mms).
Hope that helps
My Streak actually had two entries for APN's. One as above, and one called T-Mobile MMS

Thanks, but that one never worked. I heard that was for if you HAVE a data plan, seeing as how I don't I was able to use this one:
Name: mms
APN: wap.voicestream.com
username: mms
password: mms
MMSC: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
MMS Proxy: 216.155.165.050
MMS Port: 8080
And it works now!
Ok update: Now all the MMS I receive are very very small. 4KB~ Average. Any Ideas?
New Problem
I have all the MMS Settings set up properly. The onlu problem that I have is...
I am able to send picture messages aka MMS Messages ( I am on an unlimited messaging plan and hence the picture messages are included)
However I have problems downlading and viewing them.
Lets say my friend sends me a picture message ( a .jpg file) It shows me in the subject that there is an attachment but when I try to download it (first it doesn't even automatically downloads it when I have it set up correct )
the error message comes up " Unable to download message from __"
Can anyone help me ? I don't know how this issue started. I only remember that MMS messages used to download by themselves once before.

NAND Build TMO US HD2 - Can't send or receive MMS

Hi All, recently flashed my TMO US HD2 to NAND Android. Love it so far, although I'm having issues sending or receiving MMS. If I'm trying to send a pic text it says 'Unable to Send, Generic Network Failure'. Anyone else have this issue?
I checked that the Max Message size is set to 300kb.
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?

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!

Congratulations, you know something someone else doesn't.
You win whatever race you're running.
How about you try being decent and help someone out?
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.

Cannot send/receive MMS

I finally have my Atrix (and love it), however there is something I noticed today that did NOT work: I cannot receive or send MMS.
It seems that in their eagerness to lock it to AT&T, motorola have removed MMS settings from the messaging app, and have locked the MMS settings to use only AT&T. Which is a bit of a problem, with me being in Singapore.
I already tried doing the access point setup and everything, but it just will not work.
Has anybody else outside US got MMS to work for them? If yes, how?
Never mind guys, I solved it. For Singapore M1, the settings need to be as googled, with two APNs:
1) "sunsurf" (no mms settings!), APN type "default"
2) "miworld", APN type "mms"
It seems the phone switches between the APNs for MMS sending / retrieval, which may take a few seconds. I thank m1 for their messed-up MMS settings... NOT.

have you tried setting the APN type as "default,mms"? (Wihout the quotes, obviously)
*edit* from another forum ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-625061.html ), it seems your settings should be:
1) apn internet
mcc 228
mnc 03
apn type: default
2) apn wap
proxi 192.168.010.002
port 8080

i m trying now i will give u a feeedback asap
no. it doesn't work still searching....
Yeah, it surprised me that there is no MMS proxy or MMSC... there needs to be. Look at http://www.activexperts.com/xmstoolkit/mmsclist/ , maybe that helps?
>> MMSC http://192.168.151.3:8002 <<
I already tried all the possible combination for a correct apn make me crazy the only things now is trying to root the phone perhaps it helps
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
no, i allready rootet the phone and it is not working.
I'm on Swisscom.
I try Go SMS with the extra settings for MMS ... nope, not working :-(
The MMS is basically setup via APNs. The MMS settings there (MMS center, MMS proxy, etc.) need to be correct. For me, there even need to be two separate APNs for MMS and web. You could ask your network provider to push them to your phone, maybe that helps. Just say you have an Android one.
I am sorry to hear it does not work for you guys in Switzerland. I am not there, so a bit limited what I can do...
No prob buddy thanks to help,
i do a second apn just for the mms but it was what i tried from the beginning... i don t know , this phone isn't be regonnized from orange to be set.... i don 't know.
And i m back in us so i must wait 2 months before trying a new solution but still thinking...
If you can post some picture of your phone setting nobody knows,
Ok one more possibility... GingerBlur comes with its own apns-conf.xml . You could try pushing that to your phone without installing gingerblur. Make sure you back the previous file up first, though!
yeah perhaps but i still locking deeper where att set the phone's apn not so much time this week but i m trying ...
hi i found sms and mms configuration, but becareful change will effect after restart the phone
and remember the permission file after change must be same as before
tool :
windows :
sqlite manager , i use sqlite admin
android:

edit this file
/data/data/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
i change some value and help me to be able to sent mms
here what i change
sms_force_7bit_encoding = 0 <- this will enable more language i think, couz after i change this i be able to sent and receive chinese and japan language.
supl_pref_apn = indosatmms <- this apn title on apn setting , /still iam not sure what is the correct value, couz original value are empty
supl_carrier_settings_enabled = 0 <- this iam not sure , what i thought is it will auto configure mms / sms setting base on supl_* property
mms_x_wap_profile_url = http://uaprof.motorola.com/phoneconfig/MotoMB860/profile/MotoMB860.rdf
please correct me if iam wrong
thanks- hope it help
