Just switched over from the iPhone 3GS. I am not receiving all my text messages.
I am getting 90% of them but my wife and friends sent me several that I never received. Also I am unable to send pics through MMS. I can receive them put can not send them. I bought chompSMS (because I was so use to Bite on the iphone) and was wondering if this has been any problem with some you all. I tried the native message app and same thing. Also I did not change my plan, it was a upgrade. Unlimited data, text and phone services.
Also, I was familiar with changing the ROMS on blackberry's and I jailbreak several iphones but MANNN the language used for rooting droid phones have me clueless. Is there any step by step site that speaks in layman terms for a complete newbie to the droid OS. No clue to what some of these terms mean. As a beginner to the droid OS it is a little over whelming IMO.
task like Flashing, creating a goldcard, custom recovery etc... Every root step process I was able to find assumed you new what a lot of this stuff is. Is there such instructions out there.
Ok flame away, we all have our strong areas, and Droid is not one of mine just yet...

what do you have set up as your APN? Settings/wireless and networks/mobile networks/Access Point names (might be a different location on a stock phone I don't remember) Also your phone may not have been provisioned properly, but check APN first and report back

how did it turn out?
Well the tech had me re-set my phone and that didnt help. I removed chompSMS and then I was able to send MMS pictures. I loaded up handset and was also able to send MMS pics. So it looks like chomps was the issue. I just email their support for some advise. I bought a copy and I do prefer it over handse sms.
PS
I do have MMS under the ALN name, its just doesn't have the green circle check next to it like the media net does.
I want to thank you for your responses!

Hey guys I am newbie to the Android system and i new how to do literally everything with hacking my iphone and now I have a nexus one. my question is how do I send text messages with pic or video clips without having a data plan with Tmobile. I have no use for the data plan anyone know? thought I would ask here It was suggested to me. thnx
well...
I had a g1 for the longest time, and recently, about 2 weeks ago after i got my nexus one, i just started being able to send and recieve mms messages. I did not change any apns and i do NOT have any sort of data plan. Im not sure why this is possible...
MMS doesn't use the data plan. It uses a separate APN. Having an unlimited data plan doesn't suddenly make sending and receiving MMSs free, it'll still cost you.
Thnx guys but I am aware you can send a regular text without pics or videos thats why i posred my topic but I was told by T-Mobile WITHOUT 3G OR DATA PLAN I CAN'T SEND PIC OR VID TEXTS I know there has to be a way even if its rooted come on if I could do it with an iPhone on another network WITHOUT 3G OR DATA why not with a Nexus One? There's gotta be a hack or something if anyone knows I'd appreciate it thnx for responses
Did you read cymru's comment? It's nothing to do with text messages, it's MMS.
MMS is handled entirely separately from other data so even without a data plan, you can send MMS if you have the correct APN settings. I am assuming you are US in which case:
http://modmyi.com/wiki/index.php/Carrier_APN_Settings#T-Mobile
Go into Settings > Wireless and networks > Mobile networks > Access Point Names and put the details in there.
Tmo employee here. SMS plans include MMs there is no need for a 3g data plan to send or receive picture or video messages. check your apn settings.
try SmSchomp
Are you guys 100% sure about this?
Android phones used to have a loop hole where we did not need a data plan to send out MMS, but then T-mobile changed that. It was REQUIRED to have the data plan to send MMS, just the way they did with the Blackberry back in the day, do you guys remember that? Probably not. They then decided to allow people to send photos without the blackberry plan.
Unless t-mobile decided to allow people to send out MMS without a data plan on an ANDROID phone then the plan is still required. I currently have the Nexus one and 2 months ago I was not able to send MMS without a data plan. I have a long history with t-mobile and i have seen all these changes that benefit their pocket. There was no need for a plan when the g1 was first introduced, then we were able to use the $4.99 plan with the android, but now we can only use the Android Data Plan.
Do any of you guys have an android phone without a data plan that can send out MMS? excluding sassyness77, I dont know what the exception is there. I would specially like to hear a response from the Tmobile Rep that chimed in.
@3shirts
I am aware that you can send a "regular SMS" but with a pic or video it doesn't work I tried the settings still a no go thnx
@infinityhombre
I called T-Mobile and configured the settings with them on the phone at customer service and didn't work then they put me on hold and called Google and came back and told me WITHOUT A DATA PLAN YOU CANNOT SEND PICTURE OR VIDEO TEXT MESSAGES JUST REGULAR TEXT MESSAGES unless you can prove otherwise? Everyone reading this including me would like to know thnx
THERE IS NOT A CURRENT WAY TO SEND MMS OVER WIFI!!!!!!! Also a TMO employee and since T-mobile uses WAP to send MMS and NO android device has WAP it has to go thru GPRS and unless you have a data plan NO MMS!!! No you might want to look into IM files thru wifi but other wise not possible YET!

Perhaps android is different but other 3g phones have no trouble sending mms with no data. i have always been told that mms is independent of data plans. i could be wrong i dont deal with the account aspect i work in rf.
I have been told that these settings work for g1 mms with no data plan on tmous so i dont see why they wont work on an n1
Change the apn settings to the following:

MMS Port: 8080
MMC: 310
MNC: 260
APN type: not set
in mobile networks and enable ‘data roaming’ and ‘use only 2G’
Restart your phone. Now your MMS should work

You are correct in what you have stated above. Most other 3g phones, with the exception of blackberry and android, will send MMS without data plan on T-mobile.

You try and not work, then you start talk ****. What the point helping you such a guy. Go eat **** then... can't you talk/write nicely, why ****ting here and there when people given solution not work.
I not sure how T-mobile do, I not from USA.
As I know, In my country, all telco not forcing you to get any Data package and the MMS still work, off course it charge your MMS.
You still need to have Data Package activate (will count on usage charging, no charge if not use), and MMS APN to let MMS work (any kind of phone) but not a neccessary to subsribe a Data Package Plan.
Ha this guy DrJB is a major douche. I can't stand his dirty mouth and caps typing.
It's the same with ATT. You can't send/receive mms or videos without data plan. When I blocked data on my line, ATT rep stated I won't be able to do those things.
Stop being poor/cheap, buy the data plan, use your phone like you're supposed to! It's possibly to afford a data plan making minimum wage, I know plenty of people who do that while paying rent and bills.

Agreed.
Why in the hell would you ever get a smart phone without a data plan?
Smart phones are a luxury and they cost more than other phones. If you can't afford a smart phone + data plan, then go get yourself a Moto Razor and stop complaining.

Buddy, understand that it is not the phone.
PLEASE READ THIS FOR YOUR OWN GOOD.
T-Mobile has blocked every android phone from using those MMS settings, you are wasting your time by trying. There are many people that have tried sending MMS without Data plan including myself and they have made it impossible.
The iphone is able to do it because T-mobile is not trying to screw you over with a data plan on that phone. You could even have the cheap data plan for the iphone and all features would be possible. I know this because I have unlocked and hacked my wifes iphone.
At this point I would recommend to GET THE DATA PLAN, OR STOP COMPLIAINING! another option would be to go back to your overly outdated cliched iphone.
Sorry dude, but that is the best recommendation I can give you.
Hello!
I have seen the threads on blurry MMS messages in the US.....which has been more or less fixed.....anyone in the UK have any idea how we get this fixed over here?!
I have contacted O2 and they have said the phone is not officially supported by them and therefore they cannot assist (although I bought the phone on a 2 year contract with them!!!). They have advised I take the phone back to Carphone warehouse and get another model as they cannot give me a date when the Nexus S will be supported.
Anyone have a work around for this in the UK? Surely I'm not the only one in the UK with this issue?
Regards
G
UPDATE
~~~~~
Have just spoken with O2 technical data services and they have confirmed there is nothing at all they can do and the phone apparently should be used on the network and they have no plans in the near future to support the phone and they advised I get a refund.
If anyone in the UK has found a work around for this on one of the other networks please let me know as I love the phone agh!! Its available on all the UK networks from Carphone Warehouse/Bestbuy....need to know if they have a fix!
Just tried sending an MMS to myself (may not be a valid test ) and pic looks fine.
On O2 UK (Simplicity package) using Handcent SMS. Rooted running 2.3.1 at the moment.
I've played around with the "stock" APN's which may or may not be relevant - happy to post settings if needed.
Yeah if you could post setting so I can compare that would be great!
I have tried sending a pic from the camera to myself and thats blurry also! As well as ones other people have sent me.
Dont know if its the phone settings then or something in your rooted ROM may have rectified it? Hmm...
I'm not in the UK, but 2.3.1 corrected the blurry mms for me.

which network are you on?
i believe there is some switch that can be turn on/off on the network.
when i first switch from iphone to N1, i have similar problem.
sending a MMS to iphone is not a issue (other than needing to manually resize the picture), but upon receiving MMS, it comes in a very small picture.
at that time, i heard other users on other network does not have this issue.
if you have friends on other network, maybe you will want to borrow their sim to give it a try.

When you took these APN details and put them in...did you get a green circle by them? When I entered all the details in manually.....I havent got a green circle and after reboot the net/mms wouldnt work at all! Had to "restore default" to get them back (still blurry!! haha)
You get the green circle for the default APN (afaik this should be set to the 3G/Data APN you have setup)
I don't have a green circle (MMS APN set as default) next to the MMS APN either.
You should also ensure you have your 3G/data APN set as default (use the settings on that post if needed) and just delete the other APN's from the list.

Outgoing MMS is fine, resizes ok....and an be viewed on the other handsets with no issues.....its only incoming MMS that goes blurry beyond recognition
Firstly thanks to Highland3r this post with the MMS APN settings got sending and receiving working on my Nexus S! Secondly also being on O2 UK I concur the MMS messages all come through with low res small scaled pictures. I had the same issue on my previous HTC hero too.
Its definitely down to O2 not recognising the capabilities/supporting the phone type so it defults to the lowest res/size their MMS server supports.
OP you got a complete BS answer off O2 - They should simply add the nexus S into their list of supported phones and ensure their MMS server knows about them!
Sorry to bring up such an old thread but did anyone manage to solve the problem of the blurry mms's? I'm on giffgaff which uses the o2 network and have the same problem. Funnily enough it seemed fine when I first used it and friends pictures that they sent me were coming through at about 200k. I recently had to do a reinstall of the firmware and im having troubles now. I can send myself a picture via the stock app or gosms and can see it has resized it to 150k+ for outgoing but when I receive it back it has resized to anything below 20k making it un viewable.
I started using the Handcent SMS app, instead of the stock one, and it seemed to fix the problem for me

i rooted the captivate and used superuser and root uninstaller to uninstall kobo app from my rogers captivate.
since it is the first time i used it i didnt know how to and screwed up. i pressed something and it went on to a screen which i never seen before obviously, that said a name of an app. and under grant acces, backup apk and uninstall.
i tried pressing the back button it didn't do nothing, i pressed grant access and it said access granted. then i pressed uninstall. only to realize to late that i should have pressed backup apk! DOH! big time!
the only thing i saw just before it erased is that it said something like preconfig.
and now not sure if i uninstalled something needed by the phone.
later checked the phone and all seemed to work well.
today i started getting calls going direct to voice mail till i restarted the phone, and also had sending failed when sending texts.
the only other thing i did was add a data plan today 2 days later and that is truthfully when the problems started, but i do not see how that can affect.
i did have to input a new apn for it.
please tell me if i am wrong and either data addition or new apn could somehow cause this. and if i did unistall something needed, how do i get it back now?!
thansk in advance for any assistance with this issue.
I would double check the apn settings you changed
CM7
Before anyone can help you, we need more info. Are you running 2.1 or upgraded 2.2? I am assuming 2.2 because Aldiko is the reader with 2.1, Kobo is in the 2.2 version.
Are calls still going to voicemail? You said they did until you restarted, are you now able to receive voice calls?
Outgoing texts: still unable to send? Or was that resolved with the restart? What about incoming texts?

First of all sorry! i am very new to Xda and after posting went to look for my thread but couldn't find it!
Thanks for helping last night and tonight.
it was neither at the end! i added data as i said and put in the info. and started using it. the issue was the 3G. it seems to be very sporadic. it is actually a Rogers captivate unlocked to use on Fido with lagfix v2+ running Froyo.
after a little while i remembered how my friend with an SE x8 had an issue with rf till idisabled 3G, and my other fried had same issue with Iphon 3GS. so i disabled 3G and voila! i guess i will turn on 3G only when i need it.
i thought by now 3G would be implemented good enough for this not to happen any more..
WEll thanks again to everybody here and sorry for not giving enough info.

My girlfriend has a Samsung Captivate and she can send me SMS/MMS but I cannot send her.
I have called AT&T Tech Support and also T-Mobile Tech Support, nobody can give me solid answers or resolutions.
Our workaround is to use that TiKL Touch2Talk Application for messaging, but this is simply annoying!
Anyone? Ideas? Also, anyone wish to PM me a phone number if they use AT&T so I can test with your line?
Thanks a lot guys,

Stock firmware, haven't flashed anything. Its out of box.
Try going into Settings/Wireless and Network/Mobile Network Settings and then Access Point Names.
See if there's an APN showing T-MOBILE US then underneath epc.tmobile.com
If there's nothing then click the menu key on the bottom left and select New APN.
Either way make sure it matches these settings.

I've had the same issue when my friend (on the iphone) and I try to send mms to each other.

I'm referring to sending MMS messages. MMS has always been an issue even on the Vibrant. Oh BTW! removing the dashes is one of the quick fix that you can do to fix the MMS sending issue! if you use the search bar you will see what i'm talking about... soo search around this forum instead of asking and laughing at the someone who is trying to help with your situation. I suggest go find help somewhere else!
Not laughing at you, just laughing at how there isn't really any information about this...I have never had a problem like this before with any phone....
Hey All,
I bought a Bell (Canada) HTC 8X C625a for use on AT&T and put my sim in, ran connection setup and all was working well. That said, now I've just noticed that when someone sends a text with media, I get a text saying "Get media content now (xKB)". When I touch the link, I get nothing but the same message over and over. I'm assuming AT&T is using a different APN than connection setup installed.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

That was not as easy as I thought... So first I got on chat with AT&T and they started out OK but ended saying they don't support unlocked phones of any kind. Then I went all over the net and found so much conflicting and useless info. Finally, I went to HTC and they've been pretty damn good over the past 4 days or so. I just can't believe that no one has had this problem before. Anyway, here are the instructions if you ever find yourself in this situation;
Start off by going to Settings>Mobile Network(or equivalent by carrier). Tap on add Internet APN. Fill out the APN with "pta" then click the save icon.
Next, click on Add MMS APN. This time, fill out the following information; Anything not below, leave blank.
Access Point Name: pta
WAP Gateway (URL): proxy.mobile.att.net
WAP Gateway port: 80
MMSC address: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
Once again, click on the save icon and you're done.
Hope this can help someone else in the same position. :good:
Good luck.
