Hi all. Bad news for a first post. I've been reading and reading and researching to get a better understanding, as the most experience I've had with altering phone software is modding a Samsung Blackjack 2 for awhile.
I have the US AT&T HTC Tilt 2 (Rhodium). I will be as specific as possible - I cannot access the internet (no web access, no email access, etc.) I can send and receive sms messages and send and receive phone calls. The strange thing is I can send and receive mms messages (I thought they used 3G?)
Here's the specifics BEFORE I had the problem:
WinMo 6.5, latest framework, no mods of any sort. No problems of any kind.
AFTER:
I installed the HARDspl with the hopes of soon putting a ROM on my phone (I liked what you folks have to offer). I installed Opera Mobile 10, set it as my default, installed cleanRAM, ran it twice. I installed LockDevice. I installed mobilematt's Crystal Clock, and an HDWALL cab. I did the three background regedits to get the HDWALL to work properly by using the Mobile Registry Editor.
I properly soft reset and restarted along the way as prompted. I have no other extra programs that weren't mentioned.
The error message told me it couldn't connect, with the option of checking my settings or dismissing the error. It told me to reset my device specific to my manufacturer... etc.
---------------------
FUNNY ENOUGH, I just restarted the phone to try again... and it worked. The error is not there, and I can access the internet on IE and Opera 10, check my email, etc.
A FLUKE?
Did you just get the phone? When I got mine I had the same problem, I upgraded from a Tilt to a Tilt2 and I had to get a new sims card, my sister also had the same problem when she upgraded to the ATT Fuze from the Pantec matrix, everything worked but no 3g internet connection
OK guys I have the n4 on T-Mobile and I can not receive MMS from iphones only. I can get SMS from iPhone. I can get MMS from any other phone. I've tried iPhones from 3 carriers and I can't receive MMS from any of them. I have changed my APN settings several times to match others configurations but nothing has worked. I have created a new apn etc...I have tried go SMS,hand cent, and chomp.I know I cannot be alone on this matter ,I just don't think many people have realized it yet. Any help is much appreciated.

I have AT&T and my partner has an iPhone 4S and I can get MMS from her. So it is possible, to get it to work. Are you using Google Voice? if so this maybe the issue. In Google Voice set it so text messages are received via the messaging app. Or disable Google Voice entirely and see if that fixes it.
What plan on you on with tmobile? Pre-paid or monthly? And what APN settings have you tried? Check this out:

I uninstalled Google voice completely and still a no go. I'm on the prepaid unlimited plan with 5gb of data (70$)..I've tried those settings you referred me to but for some reason little baby phone doesn't play nicely with the n4.
I am also on T-Mobile and I cannot receive MMS from iPhone users. Any other phone works just fine.

I'm pretty sure I had the same issue, and I'm also on T mobile, what I had to do was turn auto retrieve MMS off, in the stock messaging apps settings, as well as make sure APN was set to those shown in attached picture

Success, That did it for me...I think unchecking the auto retrieve maybe what's behind it . I've tried the other settings before without unchecking the auto retrieve and it didn't work . But nevertheless thanks a lot
I have been having this problem for 6 months, finally its annoyed me to the point of asking for more help. If i take my SIM out of my phone and put it in my wifes, i can get picture messages no problem. if the SIM is in my s4 then i cannot. i will get an error message half our later saying message could not be downloaded.
I have verified my APN information, it matches exactly with what telus says it should be, and with what it on my wifes phone. Ive also talked to telus who couldnt do anything more to help me. everything is good on their end, and like i said it works when my sim is in my wifes phone, and we have the same APN settings.
I would love to be able to get pictures in texts, everyone sends them to me and i can never view them.
another issue is that i canont send picture messages unless i turn off wi-fi. if i dont it wont send and will eventually come back saying ti could not send. if wifi is off, sends no problem. i dont so much care about this one, but if anyone knows...
Thanks in advance!
anyone?

Make sure mobile data is enabled and/or you have your messaging app set to automatically download/enable data for downloads or whatever. MMS can only be sent over mobile data and sometimes it needs to be enabled manually to send and recieve.
Hehe GUI setting is not going to solve your problem, can you attach your /system/csc/customer.xml file please, I know exactly what's your problem m8

App Tweakker Play Store luck...:good:
Two different things have made this happen for me.
1. Adblock plus app
-made mms not with at all
2. Turning on the text with Google hangouts when you initially setup your phone.
-when turned on, messed up all my mms
Check these, how this helps

I have T-Mobile and my group messaging is not working.. No matter if i use the stock app or Google hangouts..
The actual option is missing in Google hangouts under settings,sms, and then right under advanced settings it should show something like Group messaging or something..
I called samsung and they said it was the carrier and then i called tmobile and they said to come into the store to trade it out for a different one.
Can anyone with Tmobile send group messages with their GS5?
Thanks
Ok. I got it figured out.
It is the SIM Card.
SIM Card provisioning wasnt allowing it for some reason.. I went into the Tmobile store and they swapped out my S5 with a new one, I put in my old sim and it gave me the same issue.. I asked him if we could try the sim card that came with the new phone and he was like, thats not gonna work because all a sim does is allow you on the network.. I begged to differ..
They tried it and it worked after a reboot.
Good luck guys and gals
alright so im on the echo rom Via the verizon pf2 firmware. Selected sprint during the setup process. I have voice and messaging working. i edited the build props.... still no data. any advice anyone?
google your service providers apn settings and enter them in and if that didnt work after you did what was said i would go back and redo everything and slow down to make sure i did it all in order etc, sometimes a second run through will make it work
i hve them. the keybord im using now is messed up. some letters nd shift key re out.. i will type them up on something else nd post themwen i get min.
My experience is actually kind of strange. When I rooted my phone I actually lost the ability to edit APN. It does not show up anywhere in my phone. I had to edit the build.prop to get it working right. My messaging works but not picture messages which sucks. So I use a messaging app called 8sms and it fixes all my APN issues.
