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!
I am looking into the mms problems with Cyanogen and i need the full APN configuration if anyone has those or possibly could tell me where to go to get the apn settings. also i need to know where to go to get the msid (or min) for my phone. please and thank you

just a FYI - the mms issue isn't a CM7 specific issue, it's affected every AOSP build we have out (including all the original ones that were developed by the fascinate guys)
Please do let us know how you fair, we've all started by loading the correct APN but there is far more to it than that - I'll point you here for reference on what could be the cause -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12806384&postcount=773
Once we loaded the correct server info into the APN, it was trying to connect to the server but giving an error about WAP not being enabled - that's as far as we got with it.
And by the way, for future reference - only development topics should be posted here - this should have gone in general.

Okay thanks for the info I was looking through some of the settings and noticed that the user settings for the server is setting to the verizon network yet it needs to be on the uscc.net network. i tried to change it but it changes the setting back to verizon.

MMS doesn't work at all for any AOSP rom so sometimes we don't bother messing with APNs config when we port.
I've had plenty of APN problems while roaming with my US Cell phone. In April in December I traveled to Dallas, was in a building I couldn't get signal and when I came out the phone said "No APN Configured" - Once I landed in Milwaukee and powered on my phone again it worked just fine. Same thing happened again last week when I was out in a rural area.
I've grabbed APN Manager from the apps store and backed up my settings to restore them if this occurs again. I might get a chance to try that out this weekend since i'll be up in the middle of nowhere once again.
I can't recall exactly what I was running before but now i'm on the EC10 Heinz 57.

Is there an app out there that AT&T won't slap you with a $20 charge for using?
you can enable the one built into the phone, please search for answers. im gonna do a how to, it is very easy but people keep asking. if you have root you need to use titanium or appfreezer to freeze an app called tethermanger0326.apk or something to that effect. if you know what you are doing you can delete it as well in anyway you can imagine.
if you dont have/want root, if you are on wifi you can put the phone in airplane mode, then turn only wifi back on. then you can search the market a bit more for apps. some are named in the tethering thread that was already up. thread though apps may still be hidden becasue of the ro.build.fingerprint. if that is the case you can download it to the computer and sideload it.
please if a thread already exists, post there! also read some if it, you may find that the question has been answered
You may not have read my post thoroughly enough. I want to know if there is a tethering app that AT&T will not charge me a fee for using. Using the built-in tethering/hotspot is discovered by AT&T and results in a $20/mo change to your bill.
I have searched and read other posts in this and other forums and the same answer you gave was all I found.
Are you certain using the built in hotspot is detectable by ATT? Or are you planning on downloading gigs worth of data via your Infuse? I'm asking a serious first question! haha
Seriously though, I thought ATT was only auto-charging unauthorized iPhone tethering users.
i have never seen anyone get auto charged, the infuse/captivate wont even let you turn mobile ap on unless you buy the plan. that is the reason for freezing the app, after that, who knows!
I'm not planning on doing a lot of downloading, but I have a Nook Color, so I'm definitely interested in being able to connect the NC via hotspot.
There is a work around for this posted somewhere on these forums that involves creating a new APN, switching to it, enabling hot spot, then switching back to the regular APN. It worked like a charm on my Atrix just last week, but I haven't tried it since I got the Infuse on Tuesday. Search for that thread.

tethermanager actually checks your plan settings, if the apn trick works let me know but i doubt it.

The Atrix checked your plan as well. It would tell you "Your plan does not support tethering, call ATT if you want to change your plan". I'm not sure if it used tethermanager specifically, but it did check, and the APN workaround worked on that phone. Unless someone beats me to it, I'll post here when I've tried it on the Infuse.
Here is the step by step for the Atrix, posted originally by Fixster. There maybe slight
Steps 1: Browse to Menu>>Settings>>Wireless & Networks>>Mobile Networks>>Access Point Names.
Steps 2: Tap ‘Menu’ and select ‘New APN’.
Steps 3: Enter the following APN settings:
Name: AT&T
APN: wap(.)cingular
Proxy: ** Leave Blank **
Port: 80
Username: WAP(@)CINGULARGPRS.COM
Password: CINGULAR1
Server: ** Leave Blank **
MMSC: http//)mmsc.cingular.com
MMS Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS Port: 80
MMS Protocol: WAP 2.0
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication Type: ** Leave Blank **
APN Type: ** Leave Blank **
After you've created the APN, you switch to it, then enable your hotspot. After you get the notification that setup was successful, switch back to the original APN.
Just a cursory glance in the Infuse settings revealed that unlike the Atrix, there are no radio buttons to select your current APN, so I'm not sure how that part works here.

I just rooted my infuse then installed wifi tether for root users , got app from applanet . Works great

Ok real question. I just turned on AP for the first time the one and i was able to turn it on I am coming from and iPhone way back when 3G and I used the tethering on it and then on my tilt2 but i dont think we have ever been charged for it. I dont download gigs of info but I was wondering if it is ok to still use it or should i check about it. I do have unlimited data plan

worst case you pat a surprise $15 for one month if it upgrades you to the tether plan, then you can change the plan back to what you wish. noone has reported a automatic plan change, i think you are safe after you get around the tethermanager barrier

I can confirm that this does actually work, however, there does not seem to be a way on this phone to deselect the custom APN after you've successfully set up your hot spot. The only way I could disconnect from it was to reset the APN page to it's defaults. Naturally that also kills your hotpot. Plus, you don't want to have to re-enter it every time you want to set up a hot spot. I believe it should be possible to copy the two existing APN's into custom APN's, and that should allow you to switch back and forth. I don't have the time to try that right now, but feel free.
Hotspot
Rooted infuse and installed system app remover to get rid of the bloatware then in system app i went in and disable the tethering check something apk and built in hotspot works flawlessly now no need for diffrent apps i also use switch pro and have hotspot on a widget works great

Ok, for those of us that have problems connecting to non-mobile websites, this solution worked for me. I've tried so many combinations- all resulted in internet working, but no MMS. I need MMS!!!
I was also up all night with AT&T regarding this issue (still pending). So after a couple hours, multiple tries, I hung up, they said they'll call me back after they find a solution. Whatever! It was 3:30am, I was trying different combinations until I passed out. I woke up and it was working!!! Powered off & on a few times. Still working. Applied the same settings on the wife's Skyrocket and now it's all working.
Name: attwap (name it whatever you want)

MMS proxy: wireless.cingular.com

Menu> Save. BackButton. Select the APN you created (green dot). BackButton. Done.
Noobs - To get to APN settings: Menu> Settings> Wireless and network> Mobile Networks> Access Point Names. Menu> New APN.
I dont know if "wap.cingular" is faster than "phone" (other APN), or vice versa. I tried speedtest on both, same ballpark in my area. The point is that the internet and MMS is working. I will "settle" for this until AT&T fixes this problem. LTE not yet available in my area. They said the PTA network is brand new and they're still working out the kinks.
Hope this works for you, too.
Works great man, I spent a lot of time on this last night couldn't get both internet and mms to work.
Ditto, I ended up going back to pta because I couldn't get MMS to work on anything else.
I'm glad it worked for you guys too. I was a bit annoyed switching back and forth whenever I had to send an MMS. The trouble was my wife couldnt- didnt know how. Now life is good... for now...
Well LTE is suppose to roll out to NY in the near future so hopefully we only have to use this work around for a bit more.
APN Differences?
Thanks Mike-
Works great! Data is constant now throughout all the sites I visit, no data loss. Also MMS works! And through speedtest app my DL is very close to the other APNS here in my non-LTE market in Harrisburg, PA.
Can somebody explain or point me in the direction of the differences between the APNS: pta, phone, and wap cingular?

looks as though you can't even use the phone apn along with the those mms setting in the same profile anyway.
Worked for me also.
Seems to work for me too. I don't know much but, all this cingular stuff wouldn't suggest we are using a different network would it? And we get a bill for roaming or something lol

Dont think it's an APN issue. "wap.cingular" is widely used. Maybe the phone just needed a restart. I treat my phone like my computer, leave it on all day, but reboot it every once in a while... and of course, back that thing up. (I dont mean the song)

Did you do everything in the instructions? Including selecting the APN (green dot)?
So this has been bothering me since the first time I flashed a custom rom on my G2x (had this phone since late September), I know that my data speeds suck and that it's common for a custom rom to mess up our phones' data sending/receiving capabilities (using a mobile network that is). So I've been searching, calling technical support, and playing around with my phone for a long time, and I might have just figured it out, so why not share
To make it clear, this is for anyone who has 2 SEPARATE APNs (one for internet access and one for MMS), especially wind users, since I'm one. No harm can be done from trying this, if it doesn't work for you, just restore your APNs to default and move on.
So here it goes:
In settings -> wireless & networks -> mobile networks -> access point names -> Wind CA MMS (or whatever your MMS APN is), now change the APN type to <not set> (i.e. delete whatever's there and hit ok) and change Authentication type to None (it's usually <not set> by default) then hit the menu button and save.
What this mainly does is it breaks the link between the internet APN and the MMS APN, so to use one of them you'd have to manually select the relevant one then do what you need to do (i.e. now you have to manually select Wind CA MMS (or whatever your MMS APN is) from the access point names menu, turn data on, send/download your MMS, then do whatever you want after, or go back and select Wind CA (or whatever your internet APN is) to get internet access)
By default the 2 APNs are linked and when you need to use MMS your phone switches to the proper APN, then switches back when you need internet access. I'm guessing my phone's been having a hard time finding it's way to my MMS APN (even with it's dual core processor lol) since the data icon usually disappears as soon as I hit send! So doing this manually is more work but it solves the problem (for me at least, and hopefully for you )
I know this sounds like a pain, but I've been able to send and receive MMS at speeds I've never seen before on my phone
Good luck and don't forget to hit the thanks button whenever appropriate

I wasn't trying to be an ass or anything, sorry dude! I don't use the xda app on devices I usually log on through the browser, so I don't know how the app works! I just thought it was strange that you asked, forgive me if I insulted you in any way.
The thing is, the carrier I'm with has limited coverage in Canada and my area was only recently added plus they used to have one APN for both internet and MMS which worked better but they changed it and it's been giving me problems ever since! But with this fix I can send/receive MMS in seconds now
I'm a wind user in waterloo as well. I did notice the phone gets confused sometimes when I try to send a MMS, it'll send it but every once in a while show up in the message screen to resend (over and over again).
Anyway so I tried to change the settings, the phone let me save those settings saying "The APN cannot be empty." Although when I look at the APN, it clearly says <not set> like in your original post...

It's not the APN you need to change, it's the APN type, should be the second to last entry in the list, try it out and let me know if it works
And my solution is....
Here is how i fixed my MMS send/receive issue on WIND with cm7..
1. Restore APN to default
2. Change user-agent in Messaging->settings to Android-Mms/2.0 which is the default "Custom" on cm7
3. Enjoy your MMS sending are receiving.
PS. You will still get disconnected when sending MMS.
EDIT: if you are updating your RIL (using getRIL or any other method) to V11H or something other than v20c (CM7 default RIL) change the user-agent in Messaging Messaging->settings to the default on cm7. Otherwise you will not be able to send MMS with the v11H ril.
Thank you Good_Newz ! This did the trick!

Have you tried sending mms to yourself from your phone? or from another wind phone if you have one handy? (to see if you receive them)
My brother and I both have wind's G2x and I haven't had any problems with mms ever since i figured out the fix in the op, but my brother can't seem to receive from iphones especially (even with the fix)!! I guess it varies from one phone to another, or it's sender's phone has issues

unable to MMS on Tsugi Rom
hi fellow wind & Xda users, its great to find wind users here.
i would really like to solve this issue as everything else is working for me now, im using Tsugi's final rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358724 )and its great however in APN list i have four things listed
(will attach screen shot as well)
-internet (internet.windmobile.ca)
-Wind CA (internet.windmobile.ca)
-MMS (mms.windmobile.ca)
-Wind CA MMS (mms.windmobile.ca)
the first two are selectable , makes sense as i have internet .... also i can not modify any of the above , it says " default apn cannot be modified"
i created two new APN just like the last two but left the type Blank, didn't solve the issue.
what do you guys suggest or what am i doing wrong? how can i manually change those settings? perhaps through root explorer? thanks
EDIT: Also as i didn't have any input in TYPE ( blank) i was able to select the two new entries i created but i wasn't able to send/receive mms, when i added MMS to the type , they became un-selectable like the default mms entries! when i remove the mms type and leave blank i again can select them.

hi fellow wind & Xda users, its great to find wind users here.
i would really like to solve this issue as everything else is working for me now, im using Tsugi's final rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358724 )and its great however in APN list i have four things listed
(will attach screen shot as well)
-internet (internet.windmobile.ca)
-Wind CA (internet.windmobile.ca)
-MMS (mms.windmobile.ca)
-Wind CA MMS (mms.windmobile.ca)
the first two are selectable , makes sense as i have internet .... also i can not modify any of the above , it says " default apn cannot be modified"

I think the fact that you cannot modify the default APN is a 2.3.3/2.3.4 specific issue, when I first created this thread I was running EB (which is 2.3.7) and had no problem modifying. If I were you, I would reset to default (hopefully you can do that on 2.3.4), Try modifying one more time, if that doesn't work, try a different messaging app like go sms and in MMS settings fill in all the APN information manually, hopefully that will work. Also, (if you haven't tried already) you could install getril from the market and see if your rils match, if not install a recommended one. If none of that works, maybe consider using a different rom, I found that MMS works on MIUI roms without having to apply the fix in the OP, and you can definitely modify the default APN on 2.3.7 roms.
Good luck

thanks jj_z1
i tried everything you mentioned above and i am even running a MIUI rom right now , 2.3.7 with gosms, mms setting manually setup and even tried the OP fix with MIUI but still no luck,
only thing i can think of is when i checked the RILS eventhough it said it matches, it was recommending a different one for me, do you think that could be it? its kinda frustrating lol, i'll also flash to stock now and see if i'll still have the mms problem if not then i guess its the custom roms otherwise i don't know

What exactly is the problem you're having? You can't send or receive mms at all? or is it occasional? or is it just one sided (as in you can't send, but can receive, or the other way around)?
This might be a stupid question, and I don't mean anything by it, people just forget the simplest things sometimes! Do you have data enabled when you try to send or download an mms? (it took me a while to find out that I needed data enabled lol)
You can try to do a hard reset, a lot of users find that it works. While the phone is on, pull out the battery, then the sim card, wait at least 30 seconds, then put them back in and try to send something (like a picture) to yourself. Try this at least 3 times just to make sure (unless it works the first time).
Also, if all else fails, using go sms, you can send and download an mms using wifi, I used that for a while until I got my data to work.
If your rils are matching I don't think installing a recommended one would make a difference, the important thing is that they match.
Other than that I honestly don't know what to tell you, it might be an issue specific to your device. The very last thing you can do is restore to stock and go to a wind store and have them either fix it for you or send it in for repair, I'm sure your warranty hasn't expired yet.

i havent been able to send or receive any mms for a while now,
i just tried wifi, with wifi bein on i was able to send/receive to myself, however when i pressed sent the data sign appeared beside the wifi sign and i was able to send/receive , is that normal? other than that when only the data is on and i try to send a mms , the data sign disappears and it keeps trying to send , and when it can't send then the data sign re-appears , to me the mms apn doesn't work, can you send me the exact apn settings for both internet and mms ? so that i can match mine.. thanks

It's normal for the data icon to appear next to wifi. With separate APNs the phone is usually connected to the internet one when data is enabled, but when you use mms the phone tries to switch to the mms APN which is (in my opinion) where the phone is failing, that's also why the data icon disappears when you hit send, it's trying to switch from one APN to the other, but fails!! Which kinda sucks. Either way, I'm currently running RG2x-MIUI v2.2.24 and here are my APN settins:
For internet access:
Name: Wind CA
APN: internet.windmobile.ca
Proxy: <Not set>
Port: <Not set>
Username: <Not set>
Password: <Not set>
Server: <Not set>
MMSC: <Not set>
MMS proxy: <Not set>
MMS port: <Not set>
MCC: 302
MNC: 490
Authentication type: None
APN type: default,supl
APN protocol: IPv4
For mms:
Name: Wind CA MMS
APN: mms.windmobile.ca
Proxy: <Not set>
Port: <Not set>
Username: <Not set>
Password: <Not set>
Server: <Not set>
MMSC: http://mms.windmobile.ca
MMS proxy: 74.115.197.70
MMS port: 8080
MCC: 302
MNC: 490
Authentication type: None
APN type: <Not set>
APN protocol: IPv4
Also, I guess in MIUI there's an auto-Switch option if you have more than one APN, doesn't really matter if it's on or off, doesn't help!
