I did a google search, and couldnt come up with anything.
My Fuze randomly changes from wap.cingular to ims.cingular in the internet settings, and it ends up not being able to connect to the internet. This is draining my battery during the day, since I think my email keeps trying to connect throughout the day, but it doesnt work.
Once I go back to the settings and change it back to wap.cingular, everything works fine.
Anyone know whats up? And anyone know if I can fix this?
Thanks
I do believe you can just remove the ims.cingular settings if they aren't working for you.. .but on ATT both of mine work....?

p.s. - i will check and get back soon!
Its not an IMS setting...my MEdia net "account" setting switches to ims.cingular when in the past with my unlocked phones Ive used wap.cingular.
did you put your sim card into an iphone??? i had the same thing happen to me, it got real annoying. i just called in and made sure there was nothing iphoney on my account. they said there wasn't. i had to keep changing the settings manually after every soft reset, and the problem randomly went away after a few days... something else odd i noticed was that the youtube app and PIE dont work...

Did you install the modified Slide 2 Answer phone canvas? I had this issue after I installed that dialer.
Nope to both of those.
I just went in the settings ind put wap.cingular as the access point name, and wap.cingulargprs.com as the username, and whatever it was as the password (as opposed to just leaving it blank like some sites say)...I'll see if the problem comes back tomorrow.
Leave the username and password blank
This exact same thing has been happening with me as well. I'm on the stock AT&T rom but the only thing I've done is go through the custom setup guide for 'noobs' as provided by tyguy in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=459335
I don't know if this helps anyone figure out what's causing the issue or not but just wanted to toss that out there.
Driving me crazy
I'm having the same issue and its driving me crazy. I actually have it switch to two different settings; my original, working settings are:
ap: wap.cingular
u: CINGULARGPRS
p: CINGULAR1
When it switches it it either changes the ap to ims.cingular (and possibly erases the username or password), or it leaves the ap as wap.cingular but changes the username to [email protected].
I've installed S2U2 and turned on the slide to answer feature, if that makes a difference, otherwise i'm running a stock AT&T ROM with normal applications installed.
Anyone have any ideas?

have you ever been able to tether via Bluetooth using those settings (CINGULARGPRS and CINGULAR1) in your dial-up connection setup on your computer, or do you just do USB?
i have not tried these but i have tried [email protected] and CINGULAR1 as folks on these boards suggest, as well as leaving both blank (AP is wap.cingular in both cases) per AT&T's advice (http://www.wireless.att.com/answer-...le=en_US&_dyncharset=UTF-8&solutionId=KB41984)
no success in either case so, i'll give these a try...
Some other correct settings ( May help...not sure )
APN - wap.cingular
User - [email protected]
Pass - CINGULAR1
APN - wap.cingular
User - [email protected]
Pass - CINGULAR1
APN - isp.cingular
User - [email protected]
Pass - CINGULAR1
APN - isp.cingular
User - [email protected]
Pass - CINGULAR1
These all work for me , and depending on the area im in , one may be faster than the other. I also will note the the isp.cingular is generally for the PDA Tethering plans , and may or may not work for people ( Some say they dont have the plan and it still works )
Hope this helps someone

thanks, pyraxiate, i will try every one of these again!
by the way, which dial-up number are you using?
i've tried several with no success:*99#, *99***1# , and *99***3# (at&t says the latter is for Samsung phones)...
i also tried dialing these numbers directly from my Fuze, and got a pop-up msg saying "function anavailable".. are you able to dial any of these numbers directly from your phone, do you hear any modem tone?
this is so strange that everything works when i tether via USB but nothing works via Bluetooth!
try deleting the media net setting "account" all together and then re-setting it up again. that might help...?
Hey guys,
I seriously need your help. I can't receive MMS (S!Mail) with my Nexus S and the japanese carrier Softbank, no matter what I try. Last year the same problem with my old Motorola Milestone.
Android 2.3.5, CM ROM #167 nightly
Baseband: I9023XXKD1
In 2009, I bought a silver USIM Prepaid from Softbank (still valid) with a Softbank 822p phone.
Until now I tried the smile.world and openmms APN, different Apps (Handcent SMS, Go SMS Pro, Softbank Mail), but I can only receive notifications. It shows a download button, but if I hit that, I get the instant error "download not possible. Please try again later". Wifi turned off.
This didn't help as well:

If anybody can help, that would be great! Every little hint is appreciated.
does the softbank mail app not work?
found this:
http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...arp-Android-phones-with-Softbank-(Go-SMS-Pro)
Using another SMS/MMS app on Sharp Android phones with Softbank (Go SMS Pro)
First download the following apps:
Go SMS Pro
Go SMS Emoji Plugin
Under Receive Settings, check the Disable other message notification checkbox. This means SMS will only be received in Go SMS but unfortunately it cannot stop the MMS from being received by the stock app (more on that later)
In MMS Settings:
Check the Fill user agent manually checkbox (under User Agent)
Change the user agent to this:
Vodafone/1.0/V802SE/SEJ002 Browser/VF-NetFront/3.3 Profile/MIDP2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1
(Cant make any mistakes, so best to copy/paste)
Under APN Configuration, select Custom Access Point
MMSC: http://mms
MMS Proxy: sbmmsproxy.softbank.ne.jp
MMS Port: 8080
Under Important Tips, select the checkbox saying Stock messaging app uninstalled
If you dont select this then Go SMS wont download MMS at all. In that case Go SMS can be used for SMS only (i.e. other Softbank only) - MMS would go to the stock Softbank app.
In my case i hated how the Softbank app chews up 100% of the CPU for about 30 seconds as it tries to download an MMS. When you are playing a game it really makes you hate the sender for screwing up your gameplay!
Lastly go into the Softbank mail application
Settings → S!Mail Settings → Receive/Display Settings → Mail receive method → Change to Sender/Subject only. Then under notification settings, turn off the lamp, turn off vibration, change the notification sound to be something quiet like "Facebook Pop"
After all of that, when you get an email you will get a double notification - one from Go SMS and one from Softbank. Thats unavoidable unless you uninstall the Softbank app. But only Go SMS will get the full MMS, and you can keep ignoring the Softbank mail notifications
Seems to be working good for me so far. I love being able to type and reply to messages without the annoying "sending" screen. And being able to see new messages as they appear instead of having to get out of the message being edited, to see the new messages

i can confirm it works on my DHD
The key is not only getting the right apns but also getting that user agent string in your mms app.
Cyanogen mod can do it, or go sms pro too if you don't want to run cm.
@SQ3.0dotJP
Not even the Softbank Mail App works, giving me the same error message as other apps. The solution you quoted wont work as well.
Regarding error messages: the only thing I can achieve is that either I get an instant error message (cant download...) or a timout error message (trying to download...after some time: cant download).
I think it's a minor detail, but I cant figure it out.

Hi guys,
I've spent the entire day trying to get this to work.
Just FYI, I have a Nexus S, rooted, Cyanogen mod 7 and just got a prepaid sim from softbank.
I've followed the instructions given here to the letter. Go SMS Pro is certainly a better app than the Softbank crap.
I can received messages, as in I caan see the title, but when I click them it says "Currently Unable to Download. Please Try Again Later". The same thing happens in the softbank app or another mms.apk I got where you could change the User Agent from a list. I also cannot send any messages, it just sits there with the little circle going around and around.
I've tried both the APNs that came with the Sim (Softbank(open) and Softbank(smile.world)) with no luck at all. I also downloaded the App the guy in the quoted post suggested, but it fails with any APN or web proxy combination.
I've also looked at other APNs online and tried a whole bunch.
I don't understand what setting is wrong. I've literally spent about 8 hours on this now, and I think I may be going a little crazy.
ANY help with this will be rewarded with knowing you have made my year (or at least my month).
Thanks very very much,
N.
SOLVED! Nexus S on Softbank Prepaid!
:clapping:
Hopefully this will help others who troll online trying to get their Android (perhaps a Nexus S) to work with Prepaid Softbank.
For the fix, I did the following. Note, one or two parts MAY be unneccesary, I'll test it all later. A quick note, I initially installed the Softbank Mail app from the Market, but since I'm rooted I just uninstalled it after it was all working and it still works GREAT! So you DON'T NEED to use that app. Just FYI.
Download the following:
Go SMS Pro
Go SMS Emoji (if you like Emoji)
Softbank Mail (Get rid of this if you are rooted)
Follow the instructions as stated by Tokyo_Dom, repeated here:
Go SMS
Under Receive Settings, check the Disable other message notification checkbox. This means SMS will only be received in Go SMS but unfortunately it cannot stop the MMS from being received by the stock app (more on that later)
In MMS Settings:
Check the Fill user agent manually checkbox (under User Agent)
Change the user agent to this:
Vodafone/1.0/V802SE/SEJ002 Browser/VF-NetFront/3.3 Profile/MIDP2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1
(Cant make any mistakes, so best to copy/paste)
Under APN Configuration, select Custom Access Point
MMSC: http://mms
MMS Proxy: sbmmsproxy.softbank.ne.jp
MMS Port: 8080
Under Important Tips, select the checkbox saying Stock messaging app uninstalled
If you dont select this then Go SMS wont download MMS at all. In that case Go SMS can be used for SMS only (i.e. other Softbank only) - MMS would go to the stock Softbank app.
Softbank Mail
Settings → S!Mail Settings → Receive/Display Settings → Mail receive method → Change to Sender/Subject only. Then under notification settings, turn off the lamp, turn off vibration, change the notification sound to be something quiet like "Facebook Pop"
APN Settings
On your Android, go to "Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks". Make sure only "Date enabled" is checked, you don't need national or international roaming.
Then click "Access Point Names". Here I deleted EVERYTHING so it wouldn't get confused. I don't want 3G internet, as on Prepaid it is crazy expensive.
Add a new APN with the following details:
Name: Mail Web Service (This can be anything you want)
APN: mailwebservice.softbank.ne.jp
Proxy: sbwapproxy.softbank.ne.jp
Port: 8080
Username:softbank
Password:qceffknarlurqgbl
Server: <Not set>
MMSC: http://mms/ (< This is "http : // mms /" without the spaces if the forum removes urls)
MMS Proxy: sbmmsproxy.softbank.ne.jp
MMS Port:8080
MCC:440
MNC:20
Authentication: PAP
APN type: mms
Save this. Now, at this point you SMail/MMS MIGHT be working. If it is, congrats and please let me know. If it isn't there are a few further steps that should get you there. I've found these on different forums, so appologies if I don't give credit where due. I think I found them here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21545288
PPP File
There MAY be a file on your phone at : / system / etc / ppp / peers / pppd-Ril.options.
There wasn't on mine, but I created one anyway (oh yeah, probably need to be rooted for this). It contains two lines for the Username and password, which you must change to correspond to the same username and password in your APN settings. Otherwise, it never seems to use the right one, and therefore your MMS or data will not work. You'll need to root your phone and figure out how to edit or copy an edited file onto your phone. So, change those two lines to look like this:
user softbank
password qceffknarlurqgbl
Give it a try and see if it all works.
Data On/Off
For some reason, whenever I first turn on the phone, the messaging only receives a header for each message, but refuses to download the actual message body. Even if I click 'download' on the message in the message app, it will not work, and will give me an error.
For the solution, everytime you start up your android, go to "Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks". UNCHECK "Date enabled", then reCHECK "Date enabled".
It was specifically after this fix that my messages started to be downloaded. It may have been this alone, but I already did the other bits. I might investigate more later, but I don't want to stop a good thing ATM.
SOME OTHER TIPS AND TRICKS
1) Make sure the APN is set to "mms".
I also found that it would work with the APN type set to blank instead of 'mms' in my APN settings. HOWEVER, with it set to blank, it was CONSTANTLY, I mean non-stop, using my 3G connection (as indicated in the status bar). It was trying to connect to the internet I presume. My Softbank prepaid service includes messaging but not internet service, nor do I have the APN for internet in my settings. But, without specifying my mms APN as 'mms' type, it trys to use that APN for internet as well. Anyway, that drained my battery very quickly! Set it to 'mms' so your 3G radio isn't working overtime to no benefit.
2) Alternate APNS that MIGHT work
APN: mailwebservice.softbank.ne.jp
Proxy: leave blank
Port: leave blank
Username:softbank
Password:qceffknarlurqgbl
Server:leave blank
MMSC:http://mms/
MMS Proxy: sbmmsproxy.softbank.ne.jp

APN type: mms

APN: mailwebservice.softbank.ne.jp

The major difference is MMSC and MMSC Proxy. On my phone I leave the „MMS proxy“ field blank, and the proxy address from this article (sbmmsproxy.softbank.ne.jp) into the MMSC field.

Sorry for MegaPost, just wanted to put this togeather for others to make it easy. It's about 24 hours work to finally get it sorted.
Thanks for clarifying things! I should have no problems now.
hey travisler just wondering - is your Nexus s a cdma version? I've been trying to get prepaid s-mail to work on my samsung captivate and it hasn't really been working. I'm just wondering if it's a hardware issue like whether the captivate just can't connect to softbank's mms network
Hey tanjierong,
My phone is from Korea so is GSM I'm pretty sure.
It is all still working fine, if you can connect to softbank (ie. you can make a call or recieve) then this hack should work for you. It has worked for a few other friends here too now with random android phones.
Hope you get it sorted.
Thanks
Omg travisler... I've been cracking my head since one month in Japan. Using Xperia s and I just can't get the app working. Tried several methods like pushing through mms.apk file using adb still doesn't works. Until I came across your post, works like a charm dude. Thanks a lot. Now I don't have to carry two phones at once :fingers-crossed:
Great bit of info you have provided here travisler.
I have put my Softbank 'dumbphone' (708sc) grey SIM into my Motorola Milestone, Cyanogenmod 7 phone. I want to use it like a 'dumbphone' that can use wifi so I have no need for a 'smartphone' data plan. It works as a telephone and I am in the process of getting 'text messaging' working. I have been reading quite a bit online and there is much information about getting MMS to work.
When one enables data as the APN guide instructs, this will only apply to MMS and not accidentally lead to huge bills for someone without a smart-phone data plan will it?
I followed the 'GO SMS' guide but not the 'APN Settings' guide and I ignored 'Softbank Mail', then rebooted. I get a new MMS sender and title notification in GO MMS Pro but when I try to download the full message I get the warning "please check that the network is available".
So I followed the instructions in the 'APN Settings' guide. There were already a couple of Softbank APNs there, they had a radio button beside them but my new one didn't. After a reboot there was a new icon (3G?) in the notification bar and I could download MMS but the first SB APN was still checked - I suppose the phone was using that SB APN and not the custom one. I removed both the original 2 SB APNs and rebooted and now I am back to receiving the warning "please check that the network is available" when I try to download MMS.
My MMS address is ****@q.vodafone.ne.jp as I already had a Vodafone subscription when Softbank took over and I cannot change the address to ****@softbank.ne.jp, would this require a tweak on the MMS settings I inputted?
Or perhaps my SIM card is the issue. It is not a 'pre-paid' SIM but one from my contracted 'dumb-phone'.
I'd appreciate some help please.
Thank you very much!
This worked for me with the white prepaid SIM.
I did all the steps you listed and used the first APN settings that you recommended, except that I had to set the APN type to "default,mms".
If I only enter "mms", I would sometimes get the 3G icon, but I could not download the messages.
I tried this and still no go. I have a sh203 sharp from softbank. I added the apn but i cannot edit the stock apn since i cannot find a way to root my phone.
When i chose the apn i created i loose my internet data..
I found this thread when looking for the apn settings for the newest CM7 for us. So i thought anyone who would like them could find them here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1187611
all credit goes to denenatse for posting this, althought what he has there is the exact same as what we ahve on stock so he must have copied them from that... although one difference is at the bottom in apn type, he has not set... i had mms and data connection or something like that

Hi all-
I had to reload my phone recently, and discovered some issues with Rogers on LTE.. the LTEMobile APN appears to block tethering.
I've tried tethering several tablets (Nexus7, Galaxy Note10) and my laptop through LTEmobile and the only traffic that passes is DNS lookups, yet the phone itself works fine. IF I switch back to the stock Rogers HSPA APN, rogers-core-appl1.apn, all tethered devices work fine.
When I called Rogers technical support on this, the technician tells me that for tethering on LTE device, I must use lteinternet.apn; this is 'the designated APN for wifi tethering devices on the Rogers LTE network'.. LTEInternet.apn uses all the same default configuration as LTEmobile.apn, it is simply a different APN name.
HOWEVER- As I add the APN and test my phone and the Galaxy Note on the phone with him, I can clearly see (at least in my location currently) that the LTEInternet APN is actually *not* LTE, according to the apps on the phone it's connecting at HSDPA/HSPA+ and two Android Speedtest.net runs from my phone with the two APNs one after the other seem to bear this out: LTEMobile got 15Mbit downloads and 8Mbit uploads (still crappy in this location), 2 minutes later the LTEInternet APN got 1.8Mbit down and 0.39Mbit up. Switching back to LTEmobile.apn, my phone negotiates an LTE connection with the same tower.
So while it is named LTEInternet, it appears to be a kneecapped HSPA-only APN for tethering, deliberately limiting tethering speeds. As though a fixed data cap wasn't enough, now they kneecap the line speed for tethering too.
This was also posted as a reply on the Pixel 2 XL Q&A forum here and I figured other T-Mobile Pixel 2 users would find this useful since this fix works on both the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL.
Situation
My wife was unable to send MMSs on T-Mobile with her Pixel 2. Finally realized it had to do when connected to Wi-Fi, but only when connected to the EAP Wi-Fi at work. Since we work for the same company, I tested with my Pixel 2 XL and it is happening to me too. It works fine at home on our Wi-Fi and on the mobile network, but not when we are on our work's Wi-Fi. I can disable Wi-Fi at work and the MMS sends. Both phones have the same dysfunction. I normally use Google Voice and I never receive MMSs directly to my phone and had not noticed the issue up to this point.
I did a test where I added my Google Voice number and my wife's number in a group message with my phone's number and tested connecting on Wi-Fi, mobile network, and work Wi-Fi and every time we are on the work's Wi-Fi, MMSs fail to send or receive. I know it is happening to only Pixel 2s and no one else because my wife's previous phone, a T-Mobile Galaxy S7, worked fine on any network to send/receive MMSs. I have reset network settings and APN settings back to default, no change. From what research on the issue I could find, people were changing APN settings. Looking at the APN settings, I realized the two T-Mobile MMS listings have the APN listed as "TMUS," whereas the default APN is listed as "fast.t-mobile.com." Since "TMUS" is not a valid domain name, I changed the first T-Mobile MMS APN to fast.t-mobile.com and MMS started working on the work's Wi-Fi. I reset my APN settings back to default and it stopped working on my work's Wi-Fi again (as expected). I thought that I should leave the default APNs alone, just in case, and decided to create a third T-Mobile MMS APN with fast.t-mobile.com as the APN. This third T-Mobile MMS APN somehow allows MMSs to work on the company's Wi-Fi.
Fix
This fix seems to be the least amount of work and is very easily undone.
Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Mobile network > Access Point Names.
Tap on the 3 dot menu at the upper-right and select "Reset to default."
Create a new APN with the following settings:
Name: T-Mobile MMS
APN: fast.t-mobile.com
Proxy, Port, Username, Password, and Server: Not Set
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc (When typing this in, make sure auto correct doesn't change anything since URLs are case sensitive!)
MMS Proxy and MMS Port: Not Set
MCC: 310 (Should already be set)
MNC: 260 (Should already be set)
APN Type: mms
APN Protocol: IPv6
APN Roaming Protocol: IPv4
Bearer: Unspecified
MVNO Type: None
MVNO Value: Not Set
Tap on the 3 dot menu and select "Save."
Reboot your phone for good measure (may not be necessary) and open Android Messages.
Send a MMS or group MMS on and off the Wi-Fi network you are having issues on to see if it sends. If you have several queued up messages that haven't sent, you may need to tap to resend them and they may become out of order on the recipient's end.
If you ever wanted to undo these changes, you can either reset the APN settings or remove the fast.t-mobile.com one.
Conclusions
The main thing to note about this is that it is the same as the other T-Mobile MMS APNs, but has TMUS replaced with fast.t-mobile.com. If you look at the actual default fast.t-mobile.com APN, you'll notice that "mms" isn't listed among the others in APN Type. I feel, if I could edit that default fast.t-mobile.com APN, the problem would be fixed by adding ",mms" at the end. I assume one could duplicate everything in the default one and add it that way, but I wanted to provide the simplest, non-invasive fix possible that would not result in any future or unforeseen problems. When the phone/Google Messages/text message app consults the APNs while on an enterprise Wi-Fi connection, I assume it goes through each one to attempt to find one with MMS in the APN type and then attempts to contact the APN via its domain name, but fails since TMUS is not valid. I am not sure why it doesn't go ahead, verifies a working data connection, and then sends the MMS using http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc as it seems to do fine on other Wi-Fi networks. The phones are like, "Whelp, I'm on an enterprise Wi-Fi connection and I need me an MMS APN with a FQDN or I aint workin'!" I do not know what makes my company's Wi-Fi so different from my home Wi-Fi aside from it using EAP authentication. This wasn't a problem on my wife's previous phone (T-Mo Galaxy S7). I had the 2016 Pixel for a while, but I use Google Voice and would not normally notice the MMS issues.
If anyone has a good theory as to wth is going on, please contribute! I think its some sort of wonky Oreo issue. I hope this helps anyone who was as frustrated as I was!
Every family group text used to be a nightmare. This solved all my MMS maladies. Thank you for the nice writeup!
Hi there,
Just wanted to ask if there was a way to adjust the APN settings on the oneplus 7 as it appears it has been greyed out with no "+" sign to add new. Not sure why this is happening as I came from a oneplus 3 device which had this option. My father is traveling in europe right now and has the same device, he is unfortunately unable to edit the APN settings with the purchased sim card which is causing him grief. Why has this been disabled? For some reason as well the carrier that he is using, BONBON in Croatia, the pushed settings are not correct and thus he cannot get internet or 4G internet working. I should mention my device is not rooted or unlocked bootloader and this would not be an option for him over in europe as he is not comfortable nor has the setup to do so.
Is there any help here? It appears it may be just our phones as I checked with another pixel 3 locally here and it has the "+" sign available to add another setting etc.
Thoughts on this, really need some help to get him going over there!
New development:
Turns out the "+" sign has now appeared and we have attempted to enter the following information from BonBon technical support. Unfortunately after we enter the below information and hit save, nothing happens. I have found another post on here indicating that MVNO should be set to something to allow for it to save. Weird. I haven't tried, but here are the results of the APN settings below:
Name: Internet
APN: internet.ht.hr
Proxy: Not set
Port: Not set
Username: Not set
Server: Not set
MMS center: Not set
MMS proxy: Not set
MMS port: Not set
MMC: 219
MNC: 01
Authentication type: PAP
APN type: default, supl
APN protocol: IPv4
APN roaming protocol: IPv4
APN enable/disable: APN enable
Bearer: Unspecified
Mobile virtual network operater (MVNO) type: None
Once I hit save and back out there is nothing there listed, no matter what i did.
check on yur phone if you have an app created on your phone by the sim card:
"SIM Toolbox" or "BonBon services" or something like that
Hi there,
Unfortunately nothing was created, is there an app or tool I can use to get this added? Any ideas as to why it wont save after trying to add?

Having the same problem, and I DO have an app called "Sim Toolbox" listed as somewhere on the phone, but not in the app drawer. Is it part of the problem?
