hey guys, quick question.
i just flashed WP7 on my HD2 and was wondering if anyone knows how to get MMS working with the internet2.voicestream.com APN. i have searched for days now, thinking it might not be possible.
settings > systems (pivot, should be on this already) > mobile network > add apn (button at the bottom)
have you tried there?
Thanks for replying, yeah I tried that looks like wp7 will only let u add one apn.
The internet2.voicestream.com apn doesn't work with mms. So I was wondering if there is a registry hack that will allow multiple connections .. more then one apn setting. I honestly like wp7 more then android call me crazy but there is something about it.

that's about the only place i know of. haven't seen any reg hacks for it.

Hello All,
Firstly, my apologies if this seems like a redundant thread. I found similar threads, but none that actually answered my question.
I'm a first-time Android owner, and I recently picked up the Samsung Galaxy S 4G (running Android 2.2) since I've been stuck with T-mobile for what seems like forever. I am big on saving battery, so I'm in the habit of disabling my mobile data when I'm not using it. However, I still want to be able to enable MMS.
Originally I had downloaded APNdroid since it has the option to still enable MMS while toggling mobile data. I know that this occurs through the widget adding suffixes to the APN names, but this device only comes with a "T-Mobile US" APN which encompasses both Internet AND MMS. Upon searching this forum, it appears that this is standard practice since Android 2.1 was released, but I could be wrong.
So I know you can go in and change the APN type to "internet" only. And I know that you can ADD a new APN. Buuuuut how the heck do I add one that works?? It asks for name, apn, proxy, port, user name, password, server, etc. I have NO earthly idea what information I need to provide here. I attempted to replicate the settings of the existing APN in a new APN and then designated one as Internet and one as MMS, but that didn't work.
Is there a way to create a separate MMS APN, or is it not possible with the newer versions of the Android OS?
N.B. I have not rooted my phone.
thank you so much
Hello all,
I am very excited to have android working on my RHOD400, I installed Froyo 2.2 (FRX06) and everything seems to working great, even Wifi works. However, my data plan does not work at all... I can't browse any websites or connect to the Android market without using my wifi connection...
Does anyone know what could be the issue? I have tried many kernels and the problem still exists... I checked the APN settings under the Android Network setting and everything appears to be blank... is this the problem?
Any advice would be great!
Thanks!
Hi, simply search for the relevant apn settings for your carrier and enter them manually. Who are you with?
A new install cant tell who your with so you have to set this up yourself

thanks for the reply, i have sprint network ... would anyone be willing to share their apn settings for sprint? thanks!
anyone? I tried googling my sprint APN but am not getting any relevant results.
I have a Rhod400, also on Sprint Network. I searched for the APN for Sprint and it appears there is no APN for Sprint since they are a CDMA carrier. But I also found some people say SPRINT APN = internet.com Does anyone know for sure?
First off, thanks for all the great work you guys are doing. Without further ado, I'm having a issue with APN settings that I can't seem to find a solution to. I'm currently running Valhalla Black Edition on my SGS 4G but I have tried multiple roms without success.
I'm having an issue setting up APN type to MMS. I currently don't have a data plan, but I do have Unlimited messaging with T-Mobile. Since T-Mobile has now enabled data for all there customers, I don't want to incur data charges with the default setting of Internet + MMS. Since I'm unable to modify the default APN, I've tried many suggestions on this forum and others to create a second APN with the type set to MMS, however, I'm unable to select the newly created APN. Every time I set it to type MMS, there is no circle next to the APN to enable it.
My brother who has a galaxy s vibrant is able to make change without any issue so I'm wondering if there were anyone who have come across this and found away to get it to work.
I would appreciated an help you guys can provide. Thanks

That is normal for mms apn. For the internet apn it will have a radio button next to it and for mms it will not.

Really I didn't know that. Is there a way to setup the APN for mms only or is it not supported by the SGS 4G? On my brother's SGS Vibrant, he can change the type to MMS and it seems to work for him. Ofcourse they're not the same phone, but strange that I can't get this to work.

You've been told many times on the forum, RESET DEFAULT APNS. And then one of them will be simple, and just check that one.

You was right

Simple Mobile APN Configuration on the G2x
This goes out to all my broke peoples out there! Keep yo heads up, Fam, and we gonna get through these tough times together!
NOTE: This guide is for ICS-based ROMS, such as Hellfire Sandwich. This is the most highly recommended ROM for G2x right now ... according to ME!
After much trial and error--having just been forced to involuntarily abandon T-Mo US for Simple Mobile last week due to lack of having paper--the following procedure worked for me. Don't listen to NOBODY ELSE, other instructions DO NOT WORK, I know I tried them all! Especially don't go by the guide on Simple's website, they ain't got a ****in clue what they talking about either! Anyway, I hope it might help other people with the same problem.
If you currently don't see any APNs under System Settings > Wireless & Networks > More... > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names, good! Do the following procedure.
If you've already been pranking around with the APNs trying to get them to work, delete all your APNs under System Settings > Wireless & Networks > More... > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names, reboot your phone and then do the following procedure.
You must not be connected to Wi-Fi when you go through these steps.
From the APNs screen, press the Menu Button. Tap Reset to Default. Wait as much as 5-10 minutes and let the thing do its work. You should now see 2 APNs: Simple and T-Mobile US.
Now you have two APNs there, but neither of them will actually work ... yet. They're generic and now we'll need to do some tweaking.
Counter-intuitively, we're gonna ignore the APN called Simple and work with the one titled T-Mobile US. You'll understand why in a minute, trust me.
Press the Menu Button.
Tap System Settings.
Under Wireless & Networks, tap More...
Tap Mobile Networks.
Check that "Data Roaming" and "Use Only 2G Networks" are both unchecked.
Tap Access Point Names.
If you did the Reset to Default routine above, tap T-Mobile US.
Here are the settings (be careful they are case sensitive and don't put stray spaces in there or you'll be pulling out your hair wondering why it won't work, trust me on that!):
Name: Don't change, leave it as "T-Mobile US". I don't know why but the G2x seems to like it better that way.
APN: simple
proxy: 216.155.165.050
Port: 8080
Username: Don't change, leave T-Mo US setting (whatever that is) intact.
Password: Don't change, leave T-Mo US setting (whatever that is) intact.
Server: Don't change, leave T-Mo US setting (whatever that is) intact.
MMSC: http://smpl.mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMSProxy:[empty]
MMS Port: [empty]
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
APN Type: default,supl,mms
APN protocol: IPv4
Once you finish filling all this in, press the Menu Button.
Tap Save.
This will take you back to the APNs screen.
Now tap the other APN, Simple.
When it opens up, tap the Menu Button.
Tap Delete APN.
You are done. Watch the Signal Strength indicator in the Notifications Bar. It may take a minute, but it should now turn Blue, you should get 5 bars, and your should see a tiny H appear next to it.
You're now good to go, but you can optionally reboot if you feel like it and then check if your APN is still there. If it ain't, program it again and use APNsBU or APN Manager Pro from the Market/Google Play Store to backup your APN settings for easy restoral just in case they keep vanishing.
Good luck!

If you're on Simple Mobile it lets you use the web and mms (Multimedia Messaging Service, or "picture messaging"). If you're on T-Mo or another network, it will stop you from using the web and mms.
You say you're a n00b, don't worry my man, we all were once upon a time.... Stick around here and you won't be for long!
Check out this here link, it might help you understand this APNs subject matter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Access_Point_Name
Good luck.
trust me, ive been a n00b in a lot of places, it will come off soon
but as for the APN, when put a new rom on i get simple and tmobile and it defaults to tmobile and i can browse the web and send mms messages
MMS Still don't work
I'm on EB ICS 4.0.4 Build3. I was having problems with apns just disappearing. I did everything as had been described earlier and my internet started working. Though apn still sometimes disappears I just hard reboot the phone and it comes back. One problem though MMS is still not working, it just keeps saying sending and never goes through. Will see, maybe there is an answer somewhere out there.
Okay so I followed the above instructions but the T-Mobile APN's are locked, there is T-Mobile Data and T-Mobile MMS - HTC Sensation 4G

im not 100% sure but it may be different on your HTC, this is the forum for the LG G2x, you might want to try asking in the HTC forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1110
also this is for ICS roms, are you running an ICS rom? are you rooted? or have a custom rom installed?

ICS APN Setting Simple Mobile Working
I Know The Answer But I Need Ten Post To Post Outside Links Meaning I Can't Put The Apns.. =(. But Go On Youtube This User Named muzzzmaggg Has The Video Showing You. The Name Of His Video Is How to setup APN/mobile internet and MMS on SIMPLE Mobile for HTC. It Works For Any ICS ROM. Check It Out And Follow Step By Step And Where The APN Says Not Set Make Sure It Says Not Set Instead Of None. If All Goes Well You Should Have Simple Mobile Running On Your ICS ROM. It Has Worked On 5 Devices So I Know It Works On ICS 4.0.3 And 4.04 Etc..
Ok guys, here is a temp fix for you to continue using the mobile hotspot. But I am not sure how long it will be able to work until it gets blocked.
Go to Settings
Mobile network
Access Point Names
New APN
set the name
set the APN to: epc.tmobile.com
save
after you save, select the new APN you created instead of T-Mobile data.
Anyone mind confirming?
yeah please confirm if this helped anyone

Bigger question is what is the new APN? epc has been the updated apn for a long time since the days of wap/internet2/3
ziddey just create the new APN with epc.tmobile.com and save it as is without any additional changes.

Actually, this does work. The only difference I can see between the APN that was on the phone and the new APN created is the following:
Original APN
APN Type: default,supl,admin,hipri
Newly created APN
APN type: Not Set
I have no clue what this means, but that is the only difference I see and the newly created APN does in fact work and allow me to tether over 4G.
Also, I had purchased EasyTether a while back to use on Sprint with my HTC Hero (before I learned to root a phone), and easytether also works using a USB cable.
Thanks to the OP for finding this!!
remove admin from apn type.
Found a possible issue with this fix. When I have the newly created APN enabled, I cannot send an mms. When I select the original APN and try and resend the mms, the mms goes through.
Anyone have suggestions?

thanks for pointing that out jtress, will try to look into it.
edit: jtress i was testing it out and it does work with the current settings. i'm not sure why you are having problems with mms. does anyone else have this issue with the mms not going through?
I have no problem either

Does this still work? I've tried it and it didn't work for me when trying to go to amazon.com. I've also tried deleting the default apn and removing the apn type. I've even tried using wap.voicestream.com as the apn. So far nothing works.
My issue with the APN and not being able to send MMS, may have something to do with me being on Tmobile prepaid plan.
I can live with it this way. I very rarely use the tethering. So, if all I have to do is go in to the settings and switch the APN for the few minutes I use the tethering, I can live with that
tethering workarounds
Regarding the new tethering block, there are a few other workarounds that worked for me.
1) Change your user agent string to something mobile on your browser
2) Browse through an encrypted proxy (work VPN works great for me)
3) Use the internet for things other than HTTP and you'll be fine. (HTTPS works fine)
Confirm that it worked for me. I entered the new APN and restarted the phone and now it works like it did before. Thanks!
hey guys, does the usb tether still works after the update?
Wow I feel both dumb and extremely happy all at the same time but I got it to work! I never restarted the phone before so I guess my phone never properly set up the APN.
The way I got it to work:
1. Selected Default T-Mobile Data APN
2. Delete all of the information from the APN type
3. Reboot Phone
Thanks for reminding me to do the simple things!
Looks like the fun is over...
I had been using Wifi tethering for root users and it seemed to allow me to use it just fine. All of a sudden this morning it stopped working and I got a push notification to my phone about mobile hotspot access being blocked. Came here, found the APN settings in this thread and tried it. Worked for about 30 seconds before the same thing happened again.
Looks like they are being pretty hardcore about it now...
Anybody else experiencing this or know how to get around it still?
