now that my phone is running CM7...
is there any way to disable data but still be able to send/receive mms?
prior to flashing to CM7, when i was on stock 2.3.4, i was able to get it to where "data" is always on but only to receive mms.. apps like foursquare, fb, etc didnt work. never started using data when i went out of wifi.. bad part about this was i couldnt send mms.. all i remember doing was disabling data in the hidden menu, and changing the APN.. iirc, the "spot where it says "data enabled", that was checked..
now that i have flashed to cm7, i disabled data in the hidden menu, changed the APN, but it still uses data for everything like foursquare, fb, etc once i have data turned on in settings, everything goes on data and starts using it.. foursquare gets updates, etc.. yah i can send and receive mms too but what the heck happened D:
so now im on CM7, is tehre something that can disable data without disabling mms? i understand some people say u need data to send n receive mms but eh
using T-mobile with no data plan.
tried finding that data toggle widget someone had suggested in the past but cant find it.
-------------------
tried disabling data on *#*#4636#*#*, none of the APN's worked.... couldnt get mms or go online
after enabling data... apn's grabbed data.. D:
so back to using the mms.voicestream.com one... and just having data disabled for now... enabling it when i see a mms coming in...
unless u guys have better ideas
Have you tried using a firewall?
You don't need a data plan to send/received MMS.
You do need to have the correct APN setup.
Name: MMS
APN: epc.tmobile.com
MMSC:http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MCC:310
MNC:260
APN type:mms
everything else blank (not set).
is that the only apn i put in there or which ones do i have in there ?
hmm looks like it may be working.. no internet access.. can receive mms... no response on sending yet.

Tell me what you see.
and to confirmed from you 1st post, you do NOT have a data plan correct?

That's good. Also if you haven't done it.
Go into the stock messaging app.
Settings>Custom User-Agent>Chose Custom>Android-Mms/2.0
or chose Nokia N95
this way your incoming MMS doesn't get resize to thumbnail size
good to know ! dunoe what most of these customization stuff does on cm7 ahhahaha anything else ud like to suggest? (even if it doesnt pertain to messaging) xD

I noticed on a couple other threads and forums if ur phones APN is set to TelKila instead of the t-mobile data it can cause some issues with picture messaging. I was wondering if I could delete the TelKila APN to keep it from switching to that? But would it make the phone not work right or harm it in anyway if I deleted it?

You can either delete it or go to menu-->reset to default (which will also deletes it) if you're having problems sending MMS. No need to worry, in fact that's what tech support would tell you to do if you're calling with MMS problems.
Thanks for the quick reply. Didnt wanna just do it and brick the phone lol.
I deleted it without problems. The only apn now is epc.tmobile.com. I do have 2 entries though. One for data, and the other for mms.
Telkila
i deleted telkila n now im on tmobile data its super slow now how do u get telkila back?

just add it again with all it's settings go to settings/ Wireless & Network/ Mobile networks/ Access point Names/ then press menu key next to home key and that should give you a option to add new apn
Name : Telkila
APN internet
Username *
Password *
Server *
MMSC null
MMS Protocol WAP 2.0
MCC 310
everything I left out just keep them at the default <Not Set> when your done hit the menu key again and save
How do you add the T-Mobile one to the list of APNs? I flashed the Gorilla ROM today and it only shows TelKila.
Hi,
I have a small problem, when i receive an mms with the mobile data off and after i put it on the message just says "Transfering" and i'm never able to see it?
Any fix ? Without being all day with data on..
Thanks
same for me, in italy with vodafone..
Guess this is the same everywhere ....
I have another problem with the mms app ... every time i recive a mms with a photo taken from a iPhone and i want to view it it FC`s
Tho i can recive & view pisc from any other device
Same here in slovenia simobil (vodafone) tried different apn setting like emptying everything except apn url and with proxy, username password...still doesn't work. Says sending/reciving.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Are you using the power butoon to turn data off? It kills data and mms needs data so you can't get it (might work with wlan on tho). Download something like apndroid wich has keep mms option from market.
Have you all checked your APN settings? Some widgets can cause them to be lost, I had this problem.
1. you need apn mms settings to be correct. send a mms to yourself to confirm this. for some reason also on my network (optus australia), apparently you need to send an mms to yourself to activate mms, before other people can mms you 0_0 (according to tech support)
2. for some reason if mms apn is off or disconnected, and you get an mms, when u reactivate mms data, it will be stuck at "downloading".
It seems impossible to recover this kind of MMS... Do other phones allow delayed MMS??? (This is my first smartphone, i don't get many mms)
To be safe, I use apn onoff by curvefish, leaving the option "MMS on". This way, when I get an mms, it automatically turns data on to recieve the message.
I am ultra careful, cause MMS is usually a "special" msg ie. from my friends (girls) lol...
Hello, i'm new to the forums. This is my first post but i've been reserching all over and cannot find a solution to this question I have...
I've been considering buying a HTC HD2 from my friend and unlocking it to use with my AT&T sim card (the phone is currently locked to T-Mobile).
After I unlock it I am planning on installing Android 2.2 onto the HTC. My current phone is a Samsung Solstice from AT&T. I have unlimited SMS/MMS but I don't have a data plan. I was wondering once i get the HD2, unlock it, then install Android 2.2 on it, if I can disable data but I've heard if u disable data then Multimedia Messaging (MMS) doesn't work... (I cant afford a data plan and wont need to browse the web away from wifi so i'm fine without data plan.) I would REALLY like to keep MMS working fine but without using data. is there anyway i can enable MMS and not data? I would call AT&T and asked them to block all data access except MMS but i'm afraid if i tell them that i'm using a HD2 (smart phone) they'll force me to pay for data and that would not be good. can someone please help me disable/block data but continue using MMS, all help/advice is appreciated, thanks in advanced
plzzzz i would really like to know this
BUMP
As my understanding, data is use when sending and receiving mms, but you are not charged for the data because you have sms/mms plan, maybe there is limit how many kb per message, if you over that they may charge you the extra.
I'm not sure about ATT, but Tmobile if I accidently go to internet, they tell me that I don't have data plan, and ask if I want the data or something...., I just click cancel, I never been charged for the data.
I am using the HD2 on ATT, I can tell you for a fact there is no way to block data and allow MMS, MMS uses data to send picture and video msgs. Calling ATT will not help either. As long as you have not upgraded your phone thru them they cannot force you to get a data plan, if they attempt to, you can tell them you want to be put on a pay per use, if they say no, demand a supervisor explain you have a wifi and you dont want the plan, a little pushing will get you want you want.
Also ATT cannot block data and not MMS from their end either, just not possible.
Go into apn settings. If you have only one for data and mms, then edit it, and right at the end "apn type" probably says "default " or perhaps "*" or maybe "default,supl,mms "
Change that to say just "mms"
If you have two entries one will be for default,supl and will have a on off toggle, the second will be for mms and won't have a toggle. Just toggle off the data one or edit out the default in apn type.

Hi Sam, just found you on here ad wanted to say thank you so much for the Nand Android flash, its like having a new phone, I owe you a few pints. Ian, Stev's ffriend.
Hi guys,
I've been searching and reading and testing for the last hour, but I can't figure this out. I'm using Pyramid ROM, and my data is working great. But for the life of me, I can't figure out how to send and receive MMS correctly. I've looked, and there are about a 100 posts with the settings for T-Mobile USA. But here's my problem. In the APN settings, I see two entries - T-Mobile Data and T-Mobile MMS. There is a radio button selected next to T-Mobile Data. Is this where I will put in the MMS settings? If I put the settings in the T-Mobile MMS APN, then I can't figure out how to tell the messaging app to use that APN for doing MMS.
In any case, I did all the different combinations of settings that I could think of, but no cigar. Can anyone please help me with this?
Thanks very much!

Try and copy the MMSC (server address), MMS proxy and MMS port data from the mms file in the mobile data file, and select the data file... I think it should work like that

Hey that was simple enough!!! Perfect! Appreciate the response!
I installed Viper10 and chose Verizon as the carrier since I saw somewhere on the forums that it was the way to get service for sprint and I have everything working fine except I can't send MMS. Is that a problem because of the wrong APN settings or is that just the tradeoff?
P.S: I can receive MMS but can't send them.

did you enter the sprint apn's? go to venomroms.com the settings are posted there, don't forget to save the apn after setting
I looked for the APN settings on venomroms.com and that's what I had and I everything works including LTE data, calling, sms and receiving MMS. Only thing that has problems is sending MMS. If this is just the tradeoff for the custom rom that's fine I'm just wondering if other ppl have the same issue.

i'm on sprint with the same settings and it works fine here, don't know why your's is not??/
make sure there are no syntax errors or typos.
You don't have the APN settings saved correctly. Delete the APN entry you saved, and make sure you enter the settings exactly. Also make sure autocorrects doesn't "fix" your entries. ?
I also had this problem on 2 different 10s in the same house. Couldn't figure out why it didn't work so I went back to viper 3.5 and worked perfectly.
