[Q] A Guessing about the 4.0 MMS Problem - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone!
My service supplier uses different APNs for internet & mms. I'm using CyberGR Mod v11, which is a 4.0.4 rom.
I find that my phone can only send MMS when wifi is connected with mobile data on, while it can't when no wifi. Of course the settings are all the same.
so here I guess that the Android OS couldn't switch APN automatically, maybe when one APN is in-use.
Anyone has any idea/information about the problem or solution?
Thanks!

My phone can do it fine either way, so I guess there's another thing.

I couldn't send or receive MMS on CyberGR (v10)rom on wifi or 3G.
No one seemed to have a solution except that my apn settings were wrong. They weren't.
Switched to CM9 nightly and everything's good.
Not quite as cool as CyberGR but way more stable and no bugs so far

I was so troubled by this problem as mms connectivity kept up and ate battery

The only thing keeps me away from original CM9 is that I don't have a fast way to turn torch on.

I love CyberGR for all its Mods especially all the toggles. Just need a daily driver right now where everything works though.

[q] d2g/roms/gsm

Hey Everyone,
Can anyone who has been using a D2G on a GSM network, I am on Rogers in Canada myself, provide some feedback on which ROM's they have tried aside from stock blur rom, that has worked properly with GSM?
I know CM7 doesn't work worth **** on GSM and the MIUI ICS that is out has mixed GSM reviews.
So if anyone has any ideas or positive results I would love to hear about it.
Otherwise, it will be time to say bye bye to the D2G
Froyo-based CM7 was perfectly stable on GSM.
Gingerbread-based, I don't dare touch it. I know MIUI works, but there are quirks.
I tried CM7 Gingerbread. It worked well for calls but i could not get it to accept an APN so I couldn't get data except on Wi-Fi. after a couple of days I gave up and ran into the Miui ICS build. I've been using it for a couple of weeks and I'm quite happy with it. I did have to install third party app to get it to accept an APN at first (it kept FCing from the Android settings menu) but after that it's all been perfect.
What cell carrier network are you using? GSM ? Rogers? What was the apn fixer app called. Thanks.

Will try miui ics too.
Will I be too optimistic when I ask whether there exists something like safestrap for d2g?

There's only CWM via Droid2 Recovery Bootstrap (which uses logwrapper hijack).

Try long pressing the data toggle in the notification bar, might get you to the Mobile network settings screen.

Use gitril app to make sure you radio interface layer matches your rom and baseband
some people seem to be having issues with cm9 sms/mms I don't have any sent and got some today already. Don't know what the issues are though.
For me, I can only send/receive mms on data only. Try sending/receiving with wifi off

haha was just going to say this. I believe that has been mentioned as a known bug - MMS doesn't work on WiFi at the moment.
Between that and the WiFi-calling issues I had to switch back to EB 2.3.7 for now.

help getting data to the skyrocket after flashing aokp

Hi guys,
I am by no means a stranger to aokp and I use it on my galaxy nexus
I am having trouble getting data to my girlfriends skyrocket.
I use the APN settings I see other people changing to - which causes the phone to switch in and out of 3g and 4g very quickly allowing for no data to pass through the phone.
should I flash a new radio to fix this?
Thanks
I have tried flashing to the latest ICS radio - that didn't work.
I also tried feflashing the whole rom - that didn't work
I tried restoring apn settings to default - it keeps hanging
any ideas?
I had the same problem. I switched to SKY ICS until I can get it working. It is a common issue people are having and it seems like a fresh download and trying over and over are the only fixes. No concrete solution from what I have read.

Also I use Apex Launcher instead of the Touchwiz that comes stock on the Sky ICS. It has a great feel and my phone feels so smooth on his rom. If you wait a couple weeks there should be a really good and stable Jelly Bean rom coming out.

haha well I tried CM9 this time, and while it had the correct APN's installed already and the most recent ICS radio - it still had data issues - not as bad - but it had issues still with switching from 3g to 4g rapidly....trying SKY now
I'm having no problems with data running aokp. When I first flashed, I didn't notice the cingular apn that was set by default (still got data..). Running mine on UCLE2.

I'm getting different answers from different people....some people data worked with out modding, some people, data worked after modding, other people data just didn't work.
I have tried 3 modems, redownloading and reflashing 3 times, and I have tried both CM9 and AOKP and nothing worked.
hopefully they will find the issue (what ever it is) and fix it soon.

I did edit the apn to the ATT one just to be on the safe side. Didn't notice it at first tho like I said cuz I had data from the get-go.

ATT ics 4.04 updated.... now wifi hotspot won't work!

Okay updated my skyrocket ATT phone to ICS 4.04 last night with their legit update from ATT. Now my wifi tether does not work! That is all I use for internet and the main reason I bought this phone. When I click on the app to start tethering the phone hangs for 1 minute, errors message saying settings has stopped working and then everything closes.
Suggestions?
Yes use a custom rom then you get the best of all worlds low bloat and tethering turned on and maybe smoother.

ICS 4.0.4 Hotspot
I am having the same issue with the hotspot mode. When i go to enter the menu from settings it locks up for about a minute then crashes. I did some reading and found this was an issue with 4.0.4 for some Sony phones. What they found was that they were missing APNs after the update.
The only APN i see on my phone now is the Default PTA and I seem to remember having 2-3 APNs on 2.3.5.
Well sky-ice 4.2f6 is a very nice and its based off of att official rom and seanzscreams does a rom right.

Just use FoxFi, and the Proxy Add-On to hide from the service provider.

Mine works fine
Hello All,
Don't know why, but mine works fine with no modifications.

Actually I found a fix for it. Install and run Wifi Hot spot & USB tether lite from svtp and that causes Tue stop hot spot to work again.

Hi!
I'm also using a different carrier and the only solution I found was editing the database by hand..
I created a post with the proceeding few days ago: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1782492
Just rebember to take care on what you change in databases so you don't soft brick your device!
This change that is described in the post I tested on my device and worked fine..
Good luck!

Same here can receive but not send
Had the same problem except my data would cut out all the time! Tried the dun mod but whenever id change anything it would deactivate the "carrier enable" and the apn would no longer work from then on. I recreated a new apn but left proxy out.. solved my data problems.
I'll test mms next
