[HELPFUL ADVICE] Working MMS on custom ROMS with correct APN settings - HTC Inspire 4G

OK, so after some work(and luck) I think I have the APN settings for the Inspire figured out for those that are using custom ROM's. Here is my step by step guide to get it all working. Data, MMS, all work great like this for me on CM7 and others.
1. Boot into your favorite custom ROM.
2. Go to Settings, then Wireless and Network, then choose Mobile Network, then APN settings (YMMV, ROMS can differ, but the actual APN screens are the same once you get there)
3. Check what APN you have already. If your name is "phone" and there is no wap.cingular, go to step 3a. If you have wap.cingular and no "phone" as name, go to step 3b.
3a. Create new APN (menu key, new APN) The Name field can be MMS, or AT&T or whatever. The following are the settings that have yet to fail me(the password is CINGULAR1):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Once entered and saved, go to your other APN and verify mms is NOT listed under it.
3b: Create new APN named MediaNET(rename other if needed, this MAY not be necessary, but it is what I did) and set it up as follows: APN: phone; APN Type: "default, supl". Menu button - Save. Change APN Type on other APN to "mms". Menu button - Save.That's it for this one. Once done, the new APN should be the only selectable one.
4. Enjoy.
The final settings should look lime the following:
Name: MediaNet
APN: phone
Proxy:
Port:
Username:
Password:
Server:
MMSC:
MMS proxy:
MMS port:
MMS protocol: WAP 2.0
MCC: 310

APN: wap.cingular

MMS proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS port: 80
MMS protocol: WAP 2.0
MCC: 310
MNC: 410

APN type: mms

So.. you lost me. I have one APN with the following settings:
Name: AT&T
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: <not set>
Port: <not set>
Username: WAP.CINGULARGPRS.COM
Password: CINGULAR1
Server: <not set>

MMS proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS port: 80
MMS protocol: WAP 2.0
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication type: <not set>
APN type: mms
This gives me MMS and calling features but no internet obviously. What settings do I use to make the correct APN to get the internet to work? I just want to make sure I have everything exactly correct so I resolve this problem.

Just to clarify, this will give me two APN's right? And does the MediaNET APN have any other settings? It seems to be working instantly as soon as I changed it to this.

Yes, it gives you two, and no, the default info in the MediaNET APN is all you need.

I reset to default APN, it made one for me and I made another. Now I have two APN's... The first is the default, second is the one I made for mms.

The only one that can be selected under APNs is the MediaNet one. Are my settings correct?

The first one is wrong. The APN Name should be phone. Almost none of the other info is necessary.

Well... I set everything to that EXACTLY and on Auto GSM/WCDMA it worked. Then I restared my phone and its back to the same old crap. Only works in GSM only. I'm ready to take this thing out back and put a few rounds in it with my .45

Now it works. Hmm. 871kbps down/609kbps up. I'm thinking it's just AT&T's network having issues.

A very distinct possibility. I have had zero trouble with these settings.

Yeah since I just got 3041kbps down/1275kbps up, lol.

No mobile data stuck on GSM
I am having this same kine problem.. last night edge and Hspa stopped working.. I spent an hour talkin to an att specialist and he could not help..I changed my apn settings.. nothing phone wont go past GSM... no edge no hspa nothing...
If this keeps up then imma have to take it back and get a new one.. sucks cuz i'll have to root again and it was a pain in the butt last time ..
I have no idea what happened
Went down the street where there is better signal and it started jumpin on EDGE and HSPA... so I don't know if its a weak antenna in the phone on or a weak signal from At&t

I fixed my problem with the hinky switchover from wifi to 3g/4g by adding a second apn by choosing 'reset to default' which created a new one named MMS/wap.cingular.

Should i change it to what the settngs are on the first post...

I tried both the nightly settings and these settings and never really had an issue with mms. These settings did help with android revolution though. Only problem I had with nightlies was that data speed went down to only 12 KB up and down. Slower than edge so had to go back.

If our suppositions are right and the first nearly empty APN is the "4G" APN, then yes. If not, then it won't matter a bit.

Tmobile mms

Does anyone have the apn settings for tmobile? I can't find them and so far the phone can receive but not send
Theses are the settings I am using on T-Mobile US, and they work great. In my case I had to get GoSMS and manually add the User Agent and UA Prof before my MMS would come through where they could be seen.

Simple Mobile APN HTC One S - Works!

Had to do a factory wipe on my kind-of-stock One S. Tried all APN settings on the SM website but had no mms or data and kept getting APN error notices. Spent an 2 hours on the phone 3 times with Simple Mobile tech support. They were worthless. Flamed them on FB and after 2 emails was sent the APN data below. Applied it and device works perfectly again. Interesting that the APN is accessing Cingular authentication severs...
APN Name: Straight Talk
APN: att.mvno
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS Proxy: 66.209.11.33
MMS Port: 80
Save from Menu and select the new APN then power your phone off and on. Worked for me just fine. Hope it does for you!
