T-Mobile FOTA APN?

This may seem like an odd question, but it might be Group related?
I go to my APN list, and there are 3 apns listed. They are as follows...
T-Mobile Data, T-Mobile FOTA, T-Mobile MMS.
I saw a post on engadget about the official froyo update for the EVO 4G, and it had the same FOTA abbreviation in the screenshot for the OTA update. Knowing that .the EVO runs the Sense UI, could this mean that T-Mobile is gearing up for an official froyo update? Again this could all be coincidence, but I thought I would bring it to everyone's attention.
BTW, I'm running the champion build with the latest build, rooted of course.

Froyo related, not group related. My bad.

Latest radio, not build lol. I should really spell check before I post.

It just the server that they send ota updates on.... it can send any update through the apn; entire new os builds like 2.2 or just minor ones like a software update for sync contacts fix. I doubt we'll see froyo until late fall. Sense usually takes longer but maybe we'll be surprised and get it in a month? Who knows...

I had the same 3 APN's but here is the kicker, when I was having MMS trouble, the rep actually had me remove the T-Mobile MMS APN. So I am not sure if the APN's hold a significant value for the froyo update.

What?! How do you get mms/sms if your mms apn is deleted?! That makes no sense... One is data: the other is mms: and the other is for ota. What's so complicated about that?

Well, it would solve your MMS problem. Now you just don't have to worry about it anymore cause you can't send or receive them no matter what!

BUT!

If I'm not mistaken the normal APN has MMS settings filled in, for some reason u only need the minimal to send and recieve MMS messages. Not all tha fields you needed for WinMo

Ah. That may work if MMS is configured in to the regular APN as well, never tried that. I don't use t-mobile so I don't have the access point info to look at.

I removed the MMS APN but filled the other APN with the mms setting.

Seperate apn for data and mms aosp/cm7

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...

Cricket Fascinate MMS Issue...

Ok Please understand I cannot stress enough about how the phone was working flawless and NOTHING CHANGED on my service. BUT what actually happened was I went from a 2.2 rom, WAP, MMS, everything working flawless because I flashed it myself and had perfect APN Settings that I found online. Non of the other APN settings work. This specific setup worked just flawless. Incoming and outgoing MMS worked like it was a Native cricket phone. And I had the files backed up into my SD Card, so I can just run APN Manager and just restore the files every time I tried a new rom.
Well I went to the new style roms for 2.3. Mainly CM7... But it was flawed for Mobile Data and WiFi so I went back.... month later things were fixed and I went back to CM7 and it was working but had rom errors. So I was working out some things and decided to clean everything. Well I screwed up... I started a format on my SD Card.... I pulled the battery quick but not before the APN Settings were deleted.
I have not been able to get MMS working since then. I just reverted back to stock and everything is working except MMS. I even just backed up a new Cricket Android Phone's APN file and edited my info into it and still no MMS. IDK What else to do.
Anyone have any info?
I remember the names of the APN Files I was using that I copied from someone online (CDMA-MMS) is one of them or something similar to that. But I cannot find anything.

If you can point me in the direction of the sons you used I will test them. I also and flashed to cricket but I've never got my mms to work. Im running a 2.2 rom. I've heard that cm7 and miui have wap and mms issues.

My mms always worked till I lost that apn. I been playing with it and can not find a solution. Idk what is going on.

Ok I fixed it. Just sent MMS from phone to email with no issues and quite fast.
If you install APN Manager and give me your email address I'll send you my backup. It requires NO PROXY or any sort and hardly any info on the APN. But its a modified APN from a Cricket Android Phone. The actual APN I got off of that phone didn't work very well. But I just started modifying it and things started working soo much better.

can i have that fil my e-mail [email protected] will it work for an evo?

[Q] MMS working using One X sim???

Ok, I got the Nexus 4 and have been trying to find the best MMS settings with fast data without having to call ATT..
if I use the default phone apn I get weird not connected messages and no gmail but mms works. Tried other combos but nothing seems to make mms work with good full internet
any thoughts?

Uninstalled adblock plus and now im working using all apns

Can't send MMS

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.
