[Q] Switching Network Profile - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, first post here...been reading for a while though.
I have a bit of a problem with my LG Optimus Quantum. It was prepaid on Bell (Canada), so I unlocked it and have been using it with my Fido SIM. I can get SMS and calls to work, caller display works periodically, and MMS cannot work at all. If I set the APN I can also get 3g to work (but I don't have data so I leave it off).
I tried switching the network profile in MFG but where there should be a list of XML files there is nothing..just a black area.
Is there a way I can edit the xml file with the network configuration? I noticed after viewing it still points to all the bell mms servers and such. There is also nowhere for me to add proxies to the APN for the mms in the MFG.
I like me my picture messages

[Q] Mobilicity Nexus s 9020t MMS / picture downloading issue

Whenever I receive a text with pictures, it displays a downloading bar. When i click on it, it turns into a "downloading" and nothing happens. I've talked with customer support and they've suggested to add the apn on their site even though the phone already came with it by default. I don't have a data plan yet, so I'm not sure if this might be the problem. Any ideas?
Bump, anyone have this trouble also?
Tried calling for custom support, used the right settings for APN. Still cannot send pictures.
Data plan
Well, MMS does use the data and if you dont have a data plan and you are on prepaid service, you might not be able to use data at all. I'm pretty sure that in Mobilicity's case, the data used by MMS is just counted out of your data plan, its not a sepperate MMS messaging charge or anything like that. Also, make sure you have the correct APN settings, they have it on their website.
I do have the correct APN settings, MOWAP and MOMMS as detailed here.
Mobilicity has MMS for all their plans, regardless of data plan. That was exactly my first assumption that since I did not have a data plan, that pictures were not sending or receiving through.
Anyone have a nexus s with mobilicity experiencing the same problem? I've been calling custom support 6 times now, being asked to visit a local dealer, to a warranty support dealer, to back to the customer support help, and then to the samsung customer support. I've been going in circles, tried using a "demo" sim card in one of the mobilicity dealer place, no fix.
I don't have data plan. i can receive and sent mms
my settings
Name- T-Mobile US
apn- wap.voicestream.com
proxy 216.155.165.050
port 8080
mmsc- htpp://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
mms proxy 216.155.165.050
mms port 8080
mcc 310
mnc 260
in order to receive or sent mms you have to check "data enabled "
Well, I got my problem fixed! Apparently you DO need a data plan to receive pictures over mms. The plan states that phones can receive them without the data plan, but smartphones handles pictures differently than regular phones.
I tested out at one of the local stores, and it works. Not sure if like you said, I just need to have "data" on, or actually have the data plan. I'll try the first when my month runs out. Thanks!
Sorry for the bump but i thought it would be better than creating a new thread for the same problem. anyhow, I've recently picked up a nexus s from mobi (with the $25 data plan) and im having problems with the MMS. I usually get a message with the size details, and a "download" button, same problem as you had, it changes to "downloading", then nothing happens.
If i scroll up in the conversation so that the "downloading" button disappears, then scroll down, it's just back to "download." Sometimes (maybe 10% of the time), the message will come up as it should, with no "download" button, the picture just shows up.
ive double and triple checked that the APN settings are 100% correct, so that can't be the problem. I manually updated to the official release of ICS 4.0.3 (from this thread) last night, but it didnt work before either (came stock with 2.3.4) Sorry for the life story, but thanks for any help.

[Q] APN and Data Help

Hello, Im hoping someone could help me.
I live in a rual area in Arizona. We only have one carrier and its Cellular One. From my understanding its totaly
different than the Cellular One on the East Coast.
All the phones they sell are unbranded. Wether its a cheal flip Nokia or the GS3, their unbranded and most are the
International versions.
I like to use unlocked phone's from either tmobile or att. However I always have a problem with data.
Cell One offers 2 different Internet packages, here are the apn's for their data.
Basic Internet-
apn= wap.c1csky.net
proxy= 209.4.229.94
port= 9401
Smart Phone Internet-
apn= isp.cellularoneaz.net
no proxy or port.
MMS-
apn= wap.c1csky.net
mmsc= mmsc.c1neaz.csky.us:6672
proxy= 209.4.229.94
port= 9401
Here is where my problem is. Lets say I enter the basic Internet setting and the MMS settings in the phone. My internet
will work and so will pic msg's. However I cant download anything or i cant login to Facebook. Every site I try works except
Facebook.
Now if I change the apn's to Smart Phone Internet then all data works downloads, facebook etc. But picture msg will not work.
It only happens with unlocked att or tmobile phones. If I use one of their phones its not a problem.
Sorry the post is long... hopefully someone can help me figure it out.

AW: [Q] APN and Data Help
Asked the Hotline to send you a message with the right apn settings? They send a text message that sets all the required inputs. Or add one apn with the mobile Internet details and another one with the mms settings.

Can a phone carrier block this device?

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
Sent from my MyTouch 4G Slide using xda app-developers app
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.

[Q] Using Cell (Nexus4) + Telus Flex (for ipad) + VOIP (Fongo). APN Configuration

EDIT: SOLVED!!!!
turns out that Telus somehow makes your phone switch from isp.telus.com to sp.telus.com. You must delete any SP.Telus.com APNs. Just to be saved, I deleted all the preset APN's and added my own with no Proxy or Port no. **additionally, i had a security app that was sending texts that there was an unauthorized SIM in my phone. If you have any security app in your phone, make sure you log into it and register the SIM, otherwise it will send texts using the tablets number which will be very expensive.
Hello. This is my first post and I'm sorry if i break any rules, but I haven't found any solution after several days of research.
I have a Nexus 4, Root, Cyanogenmod 10.3, 4.3.
Today I went to Telus and got a SIM that i said was for an ipad so that i could use a Data-only Flex plan with Voip app (Fongo).
I have used this for about a year with Fido, but I liked the Flex bracketing used by Telus.
When I put the SIM in the phone, I went straight to The APN settings. there were three APNs there, one sp.kooddo, one sp.telus, and one isp.telus. I know ipads require the APN isp.telus.com so i selected the last (isp.telus.com), however after use of 1mb, my account showed pay-per-use usage amounting to $6. the preset isp.telus is named "Telus SP Tether." I'm thinking the problem might still be in the APN name. I deleted both the sp.telus ones just to be extra safe.
I added an APN as recommended on the Telus site for ipads/tablets:
APN: isp.telus.com
Proxy: 74.49.0.18
Port: 80
the preset isp.telus.com (Telus SP Tether) had proxy and port empty, but their MMA proxy and MMS port had the above settings.
I don't know if this is was the problem.
There was one thread on XDA about successful setup of Telus tablet flex data SIM in GS3, however, i could not follow their steps because of different menu functionality in the N4. (thread)
OP recomended to make APN, then press BACL instead of SAVE, and then select Radio Button. But if i go back without saving, the APN is cleared and there is no Radio Button.
Telus had put $10 worth of charges for text messages i didn't send. I had Telus block sending and receiving texts, but they still go through and get charged. strangely it's to my moms and borthers cells and its at exact same times (to the second) (e.g. Telus has it that I sent 7 messages at exactly each of these times to both contacts: 3:00:00, 4:00:00, 5:00:00, and 10:00:00). I have no idea what these are....
Additionally, Telus never asked for my IMEI (Fido did require an IMEI of an ipad). when i called in to Telus, they read back the IMEI they had, and it was of the N4. could they be blocking me access to FLEX plan and forcing me into pay as you go?
Thank you for all your help.

[Q] Issues with Moto XT1045 and AT&T MMS

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.
