Sending MMS without turning on "Data enable" - Huawei Ideos X5 U8800

Hi there!
On CM7 and Oxygen there is no way to send MMS without turning ON "Data enabled" option. If you have send MMS before you have turned "Data enabled" to ON it is just says "Sending..." and it cannot send MMS until you delete and rewrite MMS. ( It's just pisses me off. Anyone has a solution for this?
MIUI has a simple solution. It send MMS even when you turn "Data enabled" OFF.
Is there a way to accomplish this on CM7 or Oxygen?
Brgds,
S.

Same at me. I would appriciate if this could solved.

not possible in these roms, go figure out why....
everyone is asking for this but the devs just wont change it
Use MIUI

Who the hack is "everyone" ... i didn't find anyone complains about it thus i started this thread
I am using MIUI but also i want to try all other good ROM's out there. It is such pity that this functionality isn't built-in in CM7 and Oxygen

"everyone" means no one can send MMS in Oxygen and CM7 without Enabling Data.
Was this the “hack” clear to you or I need to make a drawing out of it?
And if you read more and more carefully you will realise that many other people complain about the same.
This is not a bug or an issue in these roms, is just how they are!!!!

I have searched the forum but didn't find "anyone" complaining about this "feature"
The Hack

Looks like you didn't search very well.
For instance I complained a LOT and many times. And there’s also others.
But why you are so bother about reading other peoples complains? This won't make MMS work the way you want now.
This is one of the big reasons I don’t use those roms!
If this is really important to you, use other rom.

I think there aren't any other threads such as yours so not to worry about this.
This issue was discussed in the respective rom threads.
If you look there you will find it

If your network uses a separate APN for data and mms you can disable the data APN and leave the mms one active. There are lots of apps that can do this in the market, APNdroid is one but there are plenty of others,
You can do it manually as well by going to Settings => Wireless & Networks => Mobile Networks => Access Point Names. Select the data APN and mangle the APN field, say by adding a "-" to the front of it. This will prevent your phone from using any data even when data is enabled.
If your network provider uses a single APN for both data and mms then I do not know what you can do. You could maybe try splitting the settings and put just the mms setting into a new APN.

This is one Idea. But you will also be grabbing your balls with data enable on your conscience and waiting for the bill in the end of the month....
This procedure should be automatic not manually and this is why it’s wrong.
Automatic is how it is from stock why the hell make it the other way around. It makes no sense, unless the devs think everyone as free data plans....

I do have splitted setting for MMS. One APN is for INTERENT other is for MMS. Idea is simple i don't want to enable "Data enable" setting.

You can see things this way:
If these Dev's were building official roms they wouldn't be allowed to build it this this way as wouldn't be legal.
MMS its a data service but completely different than internet data.
In my network plan, every time I enable data and I start using it costs me €1,15/day (10MB included). If I exceed the 10MB each additional MB cost 16cents.
Each MMS I SEND costs me 38cents.
Well, if to send AND RECEIVE MMS I have to enable data each MMS will cost much more than €1.
After this explantation, the obligation of enabling data to use MMS service still makes any sense to you???
Does not need to be a genius to understand this.
Even it is, why if making a rom you change the stock settings for the worst?

It will make sense to me if devs of CM7 or Oxygen have benefits from Telecom providers ... but i guess they don't. So please stop asking me if it is make sens or not ... these are CUSTOM ROM's anyway. Sure it make sens to us end users.

Raping a chicken will make sense to perverts.
For normal and sane people this kind of behavior doesn’t make sense at all.
So, yes you are correct, “sense” is not the correct word to define what is correct from what isn’t… lololl

Just one more vote for this non sense situation!
Mesnati is bullshiting about "just saying for saying"... but is doing exactly that.
If MMS run trough a different APN, not related with data plan apn... it is absolutely simple OS that MMS comute automatic via MMS APN.
That is obvious and shouldnd't be questionable, only if you want to discuss peanuts you fill this forum with garbage.
Other option, is that you have a unlimited data plan so you don't care about this, but that is your own question, does not have to apply to other "mortals" that have to pay for data usage and MMS usage.
Druida69 has exactly the same problem has me... If I pay 5Eur for 100MB of Data and pay 0,3Eur for each MMS, do you want me to explain you the question around this situation ?!?!? You can't get there ???
Best regards,

You don't get it ... i don't want to have this "Data enable" or "mobile data" ENABLED. It waste battery. So please don't be jealous if you don't have data unlimited data plan. Now i can understand why is that "feature" so obvious to you. For me it is not. If i want to send MMS i know that i will pay that's obvious. But why you also have to manually enable "Data enable" ??? That's what is bothering me!

No... you don't get it.
I'm not jealous, I simply don't say that our problem is stupid... just because I don't have it. If you have unlimited data plan, this is not your problem... so... don't fill the forum with garbage about nothing!
The problem, from the beggining is that, with Oxygen or CM7, to send MMS you have to activade Mobile Data. If you read the posts instead of just boring other users with your "literature" you would understood that from the start.
With original ROM we don't have to activate Mobile Data for MMS. With MIUI we don't have to activate Mobile Data for MMS.
With Oxygen or CM7, to send MMS we have to activate Mobile Data and send MMS trough that APN.
It does not make sense, just that.

Sprint Touch (To cricket then android)

I have a chance to get a touch for 40$ which is a good deal right?
Also can I flash it to cricket and internet and all will work and after I flash it I could put android on it correct?
I could easily find out how to flash to cricket by reading but am confused by the android part isnt it flashing a new rom so I couldnt connect to cricket? Thanks will be back tonight to reply so leave as many suggestions as possible
Thank You all
no flashed rom needed for android
after you have flashed you touch to what ever rom works for you. there will no need to flash it for android because android as it is will not replace windows. andriod runs off of the sd card. just read forum for android on the touch it should any question you have.

with Android running off the MicroSD, texting works only partially (Sprint/Verizon texts give "bad SMS encoding" errors) and web not at all due to Cricket's dumb proxy settings

Can you make calls or not?
If you can't call or recv is your ESN in the cricket system.
Did this just start happening?
If you can not make calls but can recv calls go to EPST setting/CDMA setting and change the following..
EVRC enable = enable
and the three below it change to EVRC
make sure you have cricket PRL
HOME SID/NID are correct
ESN matches cricket system
MDN/MIN are correct
Everything works fine now, call and text. However mobile web is still a no go. In the new Ion build there is no APN settings program, just APN under settings for the android. When I add my user name and password to my current APN it still wont log on.

Web works on mine. reset your modem settings using the modem icon. You may have to dl a new modem app though.
The APN settings should be the same as the settings you used on the window mobile settings, wap.mycricket.com port 8080 etc etc.
How do you change the modem settings? Ive entered all the information in APN like user name,password, por,t proxy, is there anything else you said..... meaning theres more?

So what are the correct APN setting to make these cupcake builds work on Cricket???
actually at this time i have no idea if it works or not as they removed the ppp.username ppp.password from teh default.txt and from then on it seemed to have killed the data connection.
All i did was go into the wireless networks settings, or APN settings in wireless settings and modify teh defulat. I changed all the settings that you would in WinMo and left the rest as they were and it all worked. Currently trying to download a new system image file so I can test it.

hi i have htc vogue on cricket and im using donut 1.6 flashable rom and i have data working with no problems. But only in browser not through any of the apps or activate my google account. i have been reading and they say its because of cricket port wont let us reach out. also there has been mention of buying cricket 15 html plan but is there a proxy bypass or workaround out there thank you

The HTML data plan is a good work around but is not a 100% sure fix because in different markets it also works through the Simple IP. There are other work arounds like the broadband hack. But that requires a broadband number.
I know this is a bit old but has anything changed here to make Android market/data work on cricket data plan? I am still confused as to what settings in android to make (followed all of whitey's instructions for cricket)

Any way to spoof/change IMEI ?? Sidekick plan no longer works

Well it seems tmobile finally (as of 24hrs ago) blocked the sidekick plan from being used on different phones like the G1 and the iPhone.. on the iPhone forums theyre talking about something that can make it so the IMEI shows as another so I wanted to know if anything like that would be possible on my phone? I still have a sidekick and data works fine on it with my sim but that phone is a POS and more tightly closed than any other phone on this planet. But if I need its IMEI then i have it and please dont tell me to go and pay over 100% more for a G1 plan.. that will be absolute last resort.. BTW the phone still shows as its on a 3G network but everything times out that has to do with data. My Gfs iphone thats on the same plan does the same exact thing but her email works perfectly, I researched and it seems all iphones with the sidekick plan are able to access email but nothing else, i cant access anything.. I really dont want to give up my $15/month unlimited text and data plan
No one else using a sidekick plan? It seems whats actually going on is that tmobile block the hiptop.t-mobile.com apn from using the 8080 port (http), everything works fine for sidekicks because they run on theyre own servers and dont need this. Anyone know a way around this? My email (not gmail) works because it does not use that port to check it Im guessing.. can anyone help me figure a way around this :{
AFAIK, IMEI changing is illegal so I don't thinkl you'll get much help here.

It is in some places changing the IMEI is illegal, but there are guides on unlocking phones by switching the IMEI in the sections for other phones on XDA.
Well it seams that the IMEI change wont do anything so now what i need is a work around to the http port is there a way i can access anything http without using the 8080 port?

LOL doesnt work it needs that port to browse the internet im guessing? i dont know but my hotmail email works fine im guessng because its another port and on iphones same thing along with some apps that use special ports but it seems that the 8080 port which is tmobiles http one is blocked?
Tmo just cut me off too. ... just when I was getting used to the low price. But I do think its just port restrictions on server side. I was thinking tunneling or a custom rom to bypass would be a possible solution. But hey deep down I knew that it would end sooner or later. It was almost too good to be true

People with iphone are getting through with just setting up a vpn although their connection is slow pob not to slow since they only had edge .. i was used to that 3g speed.. How would a custom rom be able to work around it?
OMG thank you!!!
I sound crazy but I just was searching the forums for this and made a post. My sidekick prepaid sim no longer works and I was left scratching my head. Any solutions?
Please please hit me up at [email protected] or post back...
ok i hope i didnt jynx it for the people who figured out this solution. for all yall who have non g1 data plans one way to get atleast internet browsing access would be to use Opera browser. its available in market and is installable if you have a rooted fone and have wifi access to dl it. google sync or other apps wont work but atleast you could surf the web. proving that a g1 rom mod to use socket connections for data via non-g1 plans would work. hopefully our developers could think of something. LETS GO COOKS LETS GO! this your chance to stick it to the man and corperate america!

Thats the VPN i used. The only downside is you need cyanogens 3.9.7 rom and when your using browser some weird text is overlayd over the whole page looks the the page coding r something... But i only really use aim on edge so im good!
Edit:
Also Use Steel as your browser. It will get rid of the text. Make sure u use Iphone for the user agent!
Speeds are what you would expect out of edge.

Yea i had seen that one before... so i changed my plan to the shadows i tested it before on another sim and put the sim in my phone worked perfect.. off course when i cancelled my grandfathered sidekick plan and put the shadow on my sim... it no longer works at all ...keep telling me i need a subscription an the vpn wont work either
Thats unfortunate about the shadow plan. Guess what we need to do is appeal to devs to make a modded rom to help us.
An Hotspot shield looks like its just for the iphone. I have a g1 so how do I try the VPN stuff out?

(NOBODY POST THIS ON T-MOBILE FORUMS WE DONT WANT THIS FIX TO GET..."FIXED!")
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(This is only a temp fix im not sure how long it will work!)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Make sure u have the hiptop.t-mobile.com apn set and the edge icon is visable. You probally have to select the "only use 2g networks" option. Im not sure i dont have 3g in my area but i do have that option selected.)
1. Push menu on the phone
2. Then settings
3. Then wireless Controls
4. Then VPN settings
5. Push Add VPN
6. Select Add L2TP VPN
7. Enter the following info
VPN name: HotspotShield
Set VPN server: 64.55.144.10
8. Push Menu
9. Push Save
10. Then click on HotspotShield
Username: ipykhv
Password: ipykhv
11. Push Connect
It should say connected and you will get a ongoing notification with a time thats counting.
If you get that data should work fully.
The only problem is if you use the regular browser you will get weird codes overlaid over any webpage you load.
So you can download "steel" from the market and go to steels settings and for the user agent set it to iPhone, the codes should disappear!
I can confirm that the VPN method works. Just PLEASE dont post this on tmobile sites and similar. Lets keep this trick going!!!
do maps and all that work then with the vpn set like that? how bout apps like where or sherpa that use data?

[Q] Android MMS Settings

I am trying to find two things:
I run the HD2 on ATT. I dont need the settings, cause I already have working settings. What I am trying to find out is:
1) Where in the files, is the setting to change the MMS limit, and before you point me to the setting on the phone, thats not what I am talking about. on ATT the limit is 600k, but on the phone the Max I can choose is 300K so I want to know where is this info located and if its easy to change?
2) Can anyone tell me what in the kernel controls the data / MMS settings? The reason I have tried different kernels and the only two kernels that work are DFT on their released rom, and Projections, if I try to use M-DeeJays kernels, my MMS fails to send or recieve, so can someone tell me what module or what file I need to replace?
Thank you.
Anyone?
I found a thread about changing MMS values, but it only works for SDCard Android, not NAND, so again, anyone have any input? Members? Dev's? Fixer's? Anyone?
Again ANYONE have a CLUE?

i cant help with the 600k part, but i can say that i use cyan nand rom, and the mms settings are screwed for my provider, first i have to go in and select the correct active data account, then remove two duplicate but erronous default/mms accounts, that think theyre for my network, but dont work, and prevent the almost-but-not-quite-correct real data / mms ones from working, , then i have to alter the username to get them working, and the new settings dont work till you reboot, and you forget and test it and think its not working, and tear your hair out screaming till the missus tells you to grow up and get rid of that damned phone for the love of christ!
my point being its probably not an actual fault as such with that release, just the APN settings that are created that interfere with each other..
Actually no, the APN settings are exactly, I mean EXACTLY, I have 1 apn setting before updating the kernel, and after its the same apn setting, I triple checked and all the values are the exact same.
Mind you I am on ATT's network using the phone in 2g, which shouldnt make a difference since the apns dont care what network your on.

HD2 Android disabling data but not MMS

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.

now rooted?? any way to disable data

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
