MMS and PTA - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

So to begin I found a thread with different apns that AT&T uses or used to use. I added the PTA apn and found better speeds, however pictures are not sending. If anyone has a solution, much thanks.
UPDATE: the phone apn works just fine.
EDIT: I am stock non-rooted AT&T 1337

ATT hd2!?

I'm still pretty noobish with this phone, and was wondering which roms run nicely with at&t. There's a few roms I've tried and my data and mms is all messed up. Thanks!

Roms don't function differently for different carriers... you just need to set your correct apn to get data and mms working right.
I've been using the cleanDROID rom in my sig.
Speedtest.net app I got +2700kbps for download and about +400kbps upload.
SMS and MMS work flawless.

Can't receive mms.

I have the tethering apn set running gingerblur. I cannot receive mms. I can send them tho. Can someone give me their default mms apn so I can compare? im pretty sure its correct

These details will be carrier specific, if you do a quick google search for your carriers name and mms apn settings you will probably find they differ slightly to the internet apn settings. Many carriers use a blank apn with type mms for this.
Best of luck.

If you froze the stock sms app. you will not be able to receive mms or if they are sent from a Iphone and have not been resized.

After you unfroze it you need to reboot your phone.

Why do iPhone mms have to be resized in order to work on the Atrix??
I´ve also had lots of problems with my mms settings, right now everything seems to be working fine though .
My fix was to make sure I hade the correct apn-settings for my mms (I actually forgot to put the "http://" in the MMSC line ), then everything worked fine for a couple of days. Today I couldn't recieve MMS so I installed GO SMS Pro, and as if by magic everything started to work again . Hopefully it will last this time .
I'm running a rooted Greyblur 2.1 Atrix in Sweden

MMS over Wifi ROM?

I can't seem to find any posts with the answer to this question? I am looking for a ROM that has working MMS over Wifi-Calling. I am using cnote74's GB based MIUI and all is great except this feature does not work. It does not seem to work on any ROMs as I have tried many. Any help is appreciated.
There's no rom that let's you mms over WiFi. I don't even think the stock one does either.
But try any tdj aosp kernel in the dev sec. His kernels let WiFi switch to data when sending of receiving mms.

Yeah, stock didn't either. That's just the nature of wifi calling on our device.

I thought the latest stock rom allowed sms via wifi. I tried the tdj kernel and it still connects to cellular for mms send & receive.

Well that sucks. Guess it's time for a new phone since I am stuck in a room @ work with only WIFI reception.

That is what the kernel supposed to do. That means it's working.

Even if you buy a new device it still won't send mms over WiFi. It will just automatically switch to data.

I am reading in the forum that the Galaxy SII & SIII can send MMS via WIFI. But it is buggy. I guess T-Mobile is working on adding the feature to newer phones. Going to keep a look out for a phone that works 100%.
The MMS over wifi issue is an APN settings problem.
You can fix it without a special kernel or a new phone - T-Mobile is still shipping newer phones (such as my Amaze) with the wrong APN settings...
T-Mobile has this 'fix' for the MyTouch 3G, but I have confirmed it works for the Amaze 4G... So it should work for all their other phones...

This is possibly due to incorrect APN settings on your phone. You should be able to look up the APN settings for your carrier and check in your phone to see if they are set up correctly. Also, are you using the stock messaging app or something else from the Play Store? Some other messaging apps, such as GO SMS Pro, may require the APN settings to be set up in the app too, not just in the phone settings.

Are you on at&t? If so, I sometimes have issues with MMS when connected to a microcell. I also noticed too, that on at&t branded phones there is an extra MMS port option that's not present on AOSP/vanilla ROMs. That too may be part of the issue. All assuming you're on at&t.

You might find this link helpful. http://blog.012.net/2012/06/apn-012mobile/
From what I could tell after translating the page to English, this should help you check your APN settings on your phone. Read the section for Android devices with version 4 and verify these settings are set properly on your phone. Let us know how it goes.

APN's

DELETE
There may be other ways of going about this but...
I am on sac's latest 4.2 t.w rom and dial ##3282# to access numerous data settings (Apn settings included). If you dial the code I mentioned above click edit,enter your msl ,scroll down to the bottom and select "more". Then navigate to "lte apn settings and that should get you to where you wanna be...i think, If I'm not mistaken you just wanted to know how to get to where the apn's are listed to cross reference it with yours to see if all is okay and go from there right
EDIT:I just re-read your post and am assuming you know how to get to your apn's so ignore the first part of my msg. The second half might be of use thought best of luck.
If I were in your shoes and had data connectivity issues i would try dialing ##72786# it'll re-provision your phone (reset your data profile to its defaults) and "possibly" correct your problem. none the least it will only take a few minutes and won't hurt any to do so IMO.
Best of luck, hope this helped you in some way bro. oh and I attached a link (below) to a screenshot of my apn's listed for you to cross reference with your own.

reactive your phone with sprint. New profile and update prl.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk
So is that an adequate way to update prl and profile from an aosp ROM? I've been flashing back and forth to TW to update prl and profile. Can I just dial that and do the same? That would just be amazing!!!!!!
Sent from my SPH-L720 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I reactivated the phone and still only have the one APN. "APN2 LTE Internet n.ispsn" now i need to figure out how to add the rest of them.
I downgraded back to MF9 then went all the way back to Sacs v6 rom. Now I have 5 APN's. Now I am going to reflash sacs 5.1 first to see if they stick. Then, if they do, I will odin back up to MJA. I am hoping they stick.
so going back to Sacs 5.1 brings me back to just 1 APN. Can anyone verify they have all 5 on sacs 5.1 Rom?
I just read that there is a trick to getting the apn to stick. With your sprint sim card in download the apn settings shortcut, add to the home screen, click it, hit menu and select restore to defaults and it should read the apn from the sim card and give you a choice of a couple apns to activate.

That isnt doing anything for me either. Something changes in my phone going from 4.2 to 4.3. I have all 5 APN's with 4.2, whatever 4.3 i install, it gets knocked down to 1. Not sure if this is normal operation for 4.3 or not.
So will this update profile and prl successfully while on AOSP?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Well, It doesnt matter what 4.3 rom I put on, stock,sacs,triforce...they all go to 1 APN on my phone. As soon as I reflash 4.2, all 5 APN's come back. I find this hard to believe it is limited to my phone. Something in 4.3 is causing this.
So will this delete apn's or update prl & profile?

I am trying to figure out wtf is going on going from 4.2 to 4.3 in regards to my APN's dissapearing and you keep changing the subject. No offense, but start a different thread, your issue is not the same as mine.
Wow....OK...good luck

I am not trying to be rude. But everytime we get rolling on the issue, it gets sidetracked to a different issue and never gets back on course. It starts to get a bit frustrating. Lets figure out the original question before we start on a seperate topic. Sorry you feel this way..
Anyone knows where the entry "APN2 EHRPD internet" and "APN2 LTE internet" come from? They are not in the stock apns-conf.xml file, but with stock ROM, they will appear in the APN list when you are with mvno (in my case it's Freedompop). I'm trying to figure this out so that I might be able to do some mod the non-stock ROM which don't usually has these two entries.
