I recently got the XT925 fido version and I am using it on AT&T, everything is working beautifully, hsdpa, LTE works perfect as well. The only issue I'm having is that mms messages or picture messages come in where it asks me to download, I tap download but it does not download the image, it just sits there. One issue is that everyone who is sending to me is sending from an iPhone so that may have something to do with it. If anyone knows a way to get around this issue with mms I'd appreciate the help, thank you.

Check your APN. Are you using something that is automatically selected by the phone or did you enter one in manually?

Create another APN and use this:
Name: ATT PTA
APN: pta
MMSC: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMS Proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Auth: none
APN type: default,mms,supl,hipri

Don't forget to make sure you select it after saving it, because the OS will not do that automatically. Reboot the phone, go back to the APN list and make sure it's still there and selected. Try sending or receiving MMS to it. The automatically selected entry is an older APN and this new one might actually give you a small LTE speed boost. Give it a shot with SpeedTest.

pta does not seem to be working on my phone. the hsdpa apn is working and i get lte from it. mms does not work with the hsdpa the settings you provided i actually attempted to create new apn with them but i don't get data connectivity with the pta apn, i don't know what the problem is, i'm wondering if it has something to do with the way att has my account setup since i'm coming from an iphone 5 and i never notified them that i got a new phone. Could this be possible?
just to let everyone here know, I am coming for an at&t iphone 5 lte, and i bought a fido xt925 from ebay. by default when i go into the apn settings there are 5 apns available, out of those 5, 2 of them are pta and hsdpa, I am not able to use the pta at all, it will not get data connectivity at all for me. Also lets take into account that i am using my sim card from my iphone 5 which is a nano sim so i am using an adapter to size that sim to a micro sim to get it into the razr hd. the only apn with which i get data is the hsdpa apn, when using that apn i am able to get hspa+ and LTE because i see the symbol changes from H+ to 4G and i have tested and I do get lte speeds. The mms problem i noticed is only when i am using LTE, when i am using the hspa+ i am able to send and receive mms messages. basically when the phone has H+ i can get and send mms but when the phone goes to 4G I am not able to send or receive mms. Very strange I will be contacting at&t about this.

I'm sorry to hear you're still having issues with MMS. I just did a firmware restore on my phone and was able to select PTA and use MMS in WiFi, H+ and LTE. I'm not sure how much of an assistance AT&T will be willing to offer though, since you are using a phone that is not normally provisioned by them. I've ran into cases where they just shrugged and told me it's not their problem when I had data issues with the International Note.
Sorry for the long story. Ok I have a custom CM9.1 R8 ROM for this phone. Im from australia and while the coverage isnt as good as in the USA I had no problems here working via the Vodafone Australia network and sim card. I could browse the web, send/receive mms, calls etc was fine. Yesterday I switched over to the Red Bull mobile australia network because it offered unlimited txt and calls and more monthly data and was cheaper than Vodafone. The Redbull mobile network also borrows the towers from Vodafone so its basically the same network.
Anyway I can send/receive txts and make calls via redbull just fine but I cannot browse the web and cannot send/receive mms. I have set the apn settings according to the below redbull apn settings help tutorial: http://www.redbullmobile.com.au/help-support/internet-settings/
I have set both the mms and wap apn settings but I still cannot browse the web and send/receive mms. I contacted the redbull service desk and all it involved was basically reading out and confirming the spelling of the apn. Which was all correct I did no typos. The analyst then asked me what mobile phone I have and they said we dont have this device on our records and that the redbull mobile network blacklists some devices. Is this possible? It didnt sound right to me because I can send/receive txts and make calls just fine so clearly its not blocked. I get the feeling they didnt know how to fix it and just cbf'd me and decided to end the call and get me out of there. Can someone help me with this issue?
Also if I select restore default apn settings for some reason it puts my old vodafone apn settings, not sure if there is a cache I have to delete? If I go to settings/wireless & networks\mobile networks\network operators and try to search for available networks in australia nothing appears. This has never worked since I put the CM9.1 rom, on the stock rom I did used to get a selection of networks. Im wondering if Im cached still on the voda network?
Well web browsing and MMS are both done over the mobile data (3g/4g) so if you don't have one you won't have the other.
If possible, try doing a clean flash of the latest, r11 if you wanna stick with cm9 or some other ROM. Don't put any APN settings and see how it does with just the red bull sim. If it doesn't, try the APN settings again.
I've seen APN settings not sticking properly so that could be it, try the above steps

The MT4GS is basically an HTC Sensation from a motherboard standpoint. If Red Bull allows the Sensation, the MT4GS should work as well. Especially since the provider is using the same network you previous provider uses.

Hey all,
Is there a way to setup my phone to use the at&t data for sending and receiving MMS only? I have a hotspot that I carry around so I don't need the data on the phone for anything else. I tried setting APN type to MMS only. But still getting hangout messages that aren't text related when WiFi off and only phone data .

Hi guys - It seems my XT1045 just does not want to MMS, either send or receive. I have the AT&T Go Phone Service. I took my SIM out and put it in my iPhone 3gs and MMS works just fine. So it is not the service, but I am sure it is the phone.
I couldn't access the APN settings on the iPhone so I am not too sure of what is being used. I had UnLockIt.co.nz do the APN settings a few years ago. But now I cannot access that site anymore. So like I said, I do not know what the APN settings are.
I have tried different apps like the default app, an app called Messengers, and Handcent SMS, the results are all the same. I have also tried the various APNs for AT&T still with no luck. And I do have Data on, WiFi off.
So I raise the question, does anyone here have the XT1045, AT&T GoPhone Service, and capable of sending and receiving MMS?
Everything else works fine. voice, data, standard SMS, but no MMS.
Thanks,
Brian D
[Solved] Issues with Moto XT1045 and AT&T MMS
After much more research, I find that AdBlock Plus (ABP) may be the reason my MMS is not working. Has something to do with affecting Port 80 which is used by MMS to send and receive picture messages. I disabled ABP and it worked but not all the time. More research was needed.
Found that instead of using Port 80, I needed to change to Port 8080. This also worked. Started ABP and tested one more time. This time it worked. Not sure of the relationship of MMS Port 80 and ABP using/blocking Port 80.
The solution to this issue was to change my APN which is the default created either by the XT1045 based off of the network being used, or AT&T generated the APN. Either way, MMS Port should be 8080.
When I have configured both APN for internet and APN for MMS then apps for sms/mms are not using APN for MMS and message won't be sent but if I delete this for internet and leave only this APN for MMS then everything works. I've tried to setup sending using manual configuration in the app but it doesn't help at all.
Do you have any ideas how to make it work or maybe there is some way to configure which app should use what APN.
My phone is using Android 5.0.2 with root.
