For some reason I can't send or receive MMS when connected to wifi, only when connected on 3g/HSPA. Checked my APN settings and everything is fine on that part. Anyone know why this might be?
Currently using stock ROM and Matr1x kernel 2.0 .
Do you have an app that turns off the phone radio? I think maybe Juice Defender did that. I went through this a bit yesterday with at&t, called them and had them reregister my sim on the network, reset my apn to default (wap.cingular) and everything worked fine.
Then, I changed back to the pta APN and had to set the MMS port to 8080 to receive MMS, it works fine now phone to phone but an email test sending a pic to my phone took like 5 hours to get it (<10digitnumber>@mms.att.net) although today it was instant.
Just to clarify also, being on wifi shouldnt halt calls/sms/mms from coming in on the normal phone radio, the system I'm guessing uses wifi for data but even tho in phone status it says disconnected, it will reconnect temporarily to get/send those. So you technically dont send/recieve the items over wifi =).
Had the same problem with T-Mobile MMS. It turned out to be the AdBlock Plus app. We are an all Nexus family. All unrooted and using the stock messaging app. Hopefully, they have a fix for this! AdBlock kills WiFi performance too.

I have a TyTN (originally ATT 8525 flashed to vanilla WM6.0) that I gave my wife a while ago. She had the T-Zones 5.99 internet up and running just fine a few months back, but wasn't really using it so we dropped the plan. We still used WiFi a bit, so I disabled the T-Mo connection. Now, I'm using the phone for myself and want to get T-Zones back, so I used Lurch's connection installer. When I try to use an Internet app (like PIE), I see that it's connecting, then it thinks for a while, and pulls up a HTTP ERROR: $CODE$. At first, it didn't have the proxy set up (I forgot that Lurch didn't do that, I guess), but even after fixing it and soft resetting, I get the same problem. Is there maybe something wrong with the proxy or some such?
try this cab..

Actually, I tried that just before you posted, and it *did* fix my PIE issues. Unfortunately, I don't think Gmail IMAP is working, but I don't have my phone handy to double-check. I believe only traffic to/from port 80 (and maybe 8080?) is allowed, so secure IMAP probably won't ever work, right? It doesn't bug me too much -- since it's Gmail, I can always just use the browser (now that I have EDGE, that is).
i had gmail pop setup and working a couple months back.. now i cannot get it to work either
The connection should be set to work under Tmo Data and work to internet under proxy - and to work as prefersed connection under the e-mail account.
if you go to google and your account settings there is a tutorial under imap settings that will have you reconfigure your email settings on your phone manually. it fixed mine immediately.
my 3g isn't connecting at all now.. not showing the 3g sign in the notification, and not able to connect to anything.. I downloaded this app called "Toggle Data Widget" after a bit i figure i didn't have much use for it, i unistalled it... now im stuck with this situation... anybody help?
Have you checked your network settings? in wireless is it set to gsm only? need to set it to gsm and wcdma preferred. Also check you have an entry under apn settings.

yea i have it set to gsm and wcdma preferred, but i just noticed that it took off my username and password under my apn settings, anybody with rogers wanna share their settings for me
nvm figured it out... just hit the default settings and it works now
I have somewhat the same problem. I installed Juicedefender today, and found out that after disabling 3G, getting the 3G connection back is problematic. I tried and deinstalled all apps which had APN control. Now I'm left with a 3G connection which is very hard to find, even planemode and reboots don't work initially. After going trough the MMS and mobile network (don't know if it's the correct translation, I have a Dutch version) settings, I sometimes randomly get a 3G connection, and then it stays on as long as I don;t disconnect it. and the 3G speed also seems allright its just when I manually disable it, getting it back is a huge pain.
Any idea how I can fix this, or at least measure the 3G reception ?
So, today my internet stopped working. Internet and MMS. SMS works fine, and so does any other app that requires data connection. Stocks, woot watcher, engadget, all those apps work fine, i just cant get any website to load in the browser or mms. they will work when i connect via wifi but not without it. Everything was working fine yeterday. I have tried both the stock browser and skyfire. I have reset the phone and even loaded a different rom and nothing has changed....help please!!!

What network are you on? Did you check your APN settings?

Best thing to do is a Hard reset.
weird, it just randomly started working again...no clue what was up with it...it wasnt working for like 6 hrs.
Next time be sure to check if a G or 3G icon appears next to the reception. If not this is usually a carrier problem.
Vodafone here recently had some problems, basics worked (sms and calls) but no mms or internet. This had to do with a failure in some switch (and MMS also requires sending data)
Hello.
I came from a NOKIA 5800 XPRESS MUSIC Symbian smartphone, where my packet data connection settings were ready to go by default, so I didn't have to set up manually the 2G/EDGE internet connection from my provider.
But...
After buying my SG3 five days ago, I was going to continue to use the sim card from my Nokia phone i.e. use my unlimited 2G/EDGE internet connection to use it where there's no wifi, like to browse apps, get enlightened by the xda-development, chat in gtalk and be allways synchronised.
So.
First I requested a configuration message (CM) from my operator and was all happy (after installing the CM) about the connection notification that I can use packet data, so I opened the gtalk app to share my experience with my buddies, but there was not a chance to connect via packet data.
I tried to reinstall the CM, but nothig happened, only where it was working was the browser. In my APN (access point name) settings were wap and mms profiles due to CM install, but no internet, even after installing another CM with given APN and AP usage only.
When my frustration level was high enough, I deleted all the CMs and APs. Than an idea poped in my mind, to manually create a 2G/EDGE AP, filled with the informations about the internet connection given by my provider inside Froyo's wireless settings.
Simple enough?
...well it worked!!!
From that moment i did not encounter any problems with the 2G/EDGE internet connection.
It's like being on wifi, with just the speed of 2G connection. ;-)
Le a kalappal - Thanks to...

Ps. : Very stable.
Edit: here's a very helpful post, where's the global apn settings file which I am using, since it is included in korillos 2.2 Rom.
It includes the internet ( 2G, EDGE, 3G, HDSPA, etc.) and mms settings as well.
Thanks to madhuranand007.

I joined as this is the exact same problem I am having. TMUS, have data plan.
I had a C6 Nokia, and it had quite a few categories to enter info. Like Packet Data. The Apollo doesn't.
Phone is working fine - even have Skype working.
Problem is MMS/photo compression and slideshow. I've got it halfway fixed - I can see the images, but they are smaller than I'd like. There is no darn setting for messaging in the Android. A lot say that you can't use 2G/Edge/Gprs to send mms.
The C6 did it with no problem, I've seen complaints from other phone and carrier users, so I'm suspecting it's Samsung/Android. I have a TTW plan, so the phone should be covered. I use more wifi at home than data, except for the mms. And I don't send many of those.
Thinking of rooting the phone - reading everything and proceeding cautiously.
I would like to get all problems solved before I do anything.
I have internet, but no place to enter wap. They were 2 different settings on the Nokia C6
Thanks,
Zuben
Basically the bottom line is, if you don't get your APN settings automatically find out the name of your mobile service provider and google: X apn settings android
X being your service provider
I did. Trouble is, there were 2 settings in Symbian. One for internet which was epc
and one for data, which was wap.voicestream. That came from the carrier.
I have no place in Android to enter the one for data only. It doesn't give me the choice.
I think I'm losing my mind. I could have swore MMS over WIFI was possible before I rooted via the GEOHOT method, but it seems since I did the deed, I am unable to send MMS through the default Messages or Google Hangouts without disconnecting from Wifi hopping on 4G then going back. I double and triple checked I still have mobile data on while connected to my home wifi, so I'm not sure where the issue lies.
Apologies if this is a known issue but a quick thread search yielded no results of similar issue so I figured I'd ask, is this something that can be corrected or is it just due to the setup of the phone and VZW network?
Thanks all!

MMS (multimedia messages with pictures, etc..) uses data to transmit the message. It's normal for an MMS message to use cellular data service even when connected to wifi, since your home or work wifi doesn't have communication with Verizon's cell network.
SMS (simple texts with no attachments, just text) does not use data and would not need to hop over to 4G.
mms over wifi
i just tried, and sent a mms to my email thru wifi but i'm not using the stock messaging app, i have my default set to handcent and it works a bit differently. Additionally my wifi allows me to use 4g while still connected to wifi. I'm running both alliancerom and slymhyde.. i can do it on both through handcent i hopped back and forth with safestrap.

I'm familiar with the data connection handoff when send SMS vs MMS, but thanks for clarifying I just assumed the device would switch from Wifi to 4G or cellular data to send the MMS vs just not sending it at all unless the WiFi was disconnected. I might just have to try 3rd party apps I suppose and see where that takes me. I just liked how Hangouts integrated with my other Google services.
Thanks for the info!
