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.

Thank you for the explanation. So how do they do it with sense roms? Every sense rom I have used has the ability to turn off data and still send mms. Check it out... Let me know what you think...

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.
Does anyone know how to get 3g data fully working on ICS of a fascinate fully flashed to cricket? I've been trying to with the alt carrier but 3g isnt working
Thanks
It doesnt work for me either. Ive tried deleting the apn's and restoring with the one I had on GB. It says successful but when I look at the apn list it is not there.
Cricket Fascinate ICX
FYI, I got my fassy to work on cricket with the AOKP ICS version AOKP Fassybuild21, then locate i500_alt_carrier_data_fix. The only thing that i haven't figured out how to make work is the MMS on cricket.

Ive got 3G working with the alt carier data fix as well and MMS half works. I am using GO SMS and edited in the Cricket MMS settings but I can only receive MMS, can not send. Also I have to turn WiFi off and wait for 3G to connect for the MMS picture to download.

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

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?

Just google "APN MMS yourprovider". Take an example and fill it in. Report back if it works

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
Does anyone have a working apn setting that allows mms to be received without a data connection on Rogers?
I don't need to be able to send mms, only receiving them.
Mms requires data I believe

Yeah I always found that odd. I know dumb phones without data that could do it but for some reason Android devices required a data connection for MMS.
Some people have managed to receive mms without a data plan on other carriers, im just wondering what the apn settings would be for Rogers.
