[Q] apns-config.xml

I have a problem. And it seems a pretty widespread problem. Got no replies on other threas so i've started a new one. Any 4.0+ ROM. Stock, custom, MIUI or otherwise. mms doesn't work. I'm using i9023. I'm with Crazy John's network in Australia. A relatively obscure networkthat piggybacks the Vodafone au network. I've done some research and think I may be on to something. Is it possible that if your apns aren't in the apns.config.xml or not correctly configured in that .xml then your mms won't work. I understand that with gb it didn't matter, you just input them manually. But is this true with ics or do they HAVE TO be in there? If so, how do we get this to the devs so they can update their config? I would have asked the dev of my favourite ROM, but xda won't let me post in the dev section. I just find it suspicious that users from the same list of networks are repeatedly reporting this issue with all ICS roms. The only other possible reason i can think of is that it has something to do with all rhese roms being ported to gsm from 4g roms. But that doesn't explain why MIUI V4 doesn't work. Some feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.

Does your operator offer some kind of APN configurations to be sent via SMS ? This could help, because it might fix something on their side also.

How do u mean 'fix something on their side'? I enter my apns manually. I've called them and they just try to help me set it up over the phone or send me to their website. I know the apns off by heart, but i've also tried merging the into 1 apn, and various other configurations of all of their apns. I've tried changing user agent. Nothing. I bought the phone from Vodafone(unlocked) so the default apns are theirs(which are in the apns-config.xml by the way) but if I enter apns for Crazy Johns only internet works. MMS works flawlessly on any GB rom but not at all on ANY ics rom except GalnetMIUI ICS which is actually still GB with a few ics tweaks.

Have you tried to refresh your SMSC (do NOT use Update)? Dial *#*#4636#*#* | Phone Information, scroll down and hit 'refresh' for SMSC.

Yes I have. SMS works fine, but can't send or receive pictures at all. Just gets stuck at 'sending'. And can't download when receiving.

Um; I had this mms problem as well on mobilicity 4.0.3
when I updated to 4.0.4 ICS i heard mms was fixed. but it wasn't for mine; so i did a little research and someone suggested to integrate both the 3g APN with the MMS APN and it solved my mms problem:
I'm on mobilicity in Canada
try using my settings as a template for your network apn
Name: MOWAP
APN: wap.davewireless.com
Proxy: 10.100.3.4
Port: 8080
MMSC: [http]://mms[dot]mobilicity[dot]net <- couldn't post external links
MMS proxy: 10.100.3.4
MMS port: 8080
MCC: 302
MNC: 320
APN type (important): default,supl,mms
APN protocol: IPv4
all in a single apn; save it and select it

Yeah, I've tried this. A hundred different ways. Still doesn't work. Thanx anyway. Funny thing is, my network sells the galaxy nexus & they don't seem to have any probs using the 2 apns that I used on gingerbread.
Sent on neXus from somewhere. Could be anywhere.

Haha... I tried one more time and got it working. Thanks heaps for the template. My apn had .net at the end. Changed it to .wap and good to go. Cheers

Turns out this was kernel related in my case. Found that most custom kernels won't let me do mms for some reason. After trying kalim's cm9 kernel & finding that mms works using my normal apn setup, I went and tested them all. So far, matr1x 19.5 is giving me the best result. Happy.
....memoirs of a flash addict.

I had this problem as well and I'm also on Mobilicity in Canada.
My mms was broken in stock 4.0.3, fixed in 4.0.4 and then broken again when I switched to my first custom rom CyberGr. It was a great rom but one of the reasons I switched was my frustration at not being able to get mms working.
I screwed around with apn settings and tried 3 different kernels(including matr1x) and a bunch of other stuff that I've probably forgotten about, but no dice.
Someone suggested cm9 and that's what I'm on now. Mms and everything else work like a charm.
The source of this problem is still a bit of a mystery it seems to me because solutions that worked for some didn't work for others
Weird.

[Q] MMS APN for T-Mobile USA after Black Update

After the black update, I lost the ability to send and receive MMS on my Unlocked Lumia 1020 on T-Mobile USA network. I've entered the fast.t-mobile.com APN settings on both Internet and MMS, I have 4G LTE internet working, but MMS still does not work.
Before there was a Nokia app that auto configured this for me. I can't seem to find this after the Black update, or it is baked into the system now, but for the life of me, I cannot get the MMS working with the APN settings I have. Tried both epc and fast.

I'll be going into my local T-Mobile store later today, hopefully I can get an answer from them.

I got mine working.
OK so with the access point app installed what I did was install a manual APN outside that settings app. I went to settings > cellular and pressed the add MMS APN.
Once I set it up I was able to send but not receive. Just use the APN settings available pretty much anywhere for T-Mobile. After that remove the settings all together and reboot.
I guess the APN app setting kicks in again and viola. Worked for me anyways. Hope it works for everyone else.

Skyrocket MMS not working with AT&T GoPhone sim

I've searched the forum and googlez but each APN I've tried does not allow MMS to receive. The candy kat 4.4.2 rom has a bunch of apns already entered. Tried each one. I can send MMS but cannot receive any. Is there anyone else using Gophone sim with working MMS?? What APN do you use?

I had this same issue, usually if data works your apn is fine. Try using a different app than what comes stock. I dl'd chompsms and I could receive mms again. Gosms is a nice alternative also.

Can't send mms on CM12.1

I'm not sure when exactly I lost the ability to send mms through the default messaging app but it definitely works on 5.0.2 and definitely doesn't work on at least 4 different CM12.1 roms, all very cleanly flashed. It works through textra and chomp though, so it's not an apn issue. No one else seems to be complaining however...maybe most people don't use the pre-installed messaging app? I don't know, but I wish I knew why it stopped working and how to fix it.

Hey Guys -- I'm glad I found this thread for, I too, have had MMS issues since upgrading to 12. When I upgraded, it set my default to Messenger which was fine. However, I noticed I couldn't send MMS through Messenger. I found the thread for correct AT&T APN for MMS. I checked and configured my APN to the correct settings. However, still no MMS sent capability. So I switched back to the standard Hangouts and no problem.
However, I have to think I can't be "stuck" on using Hangouts for MMS, right???
Thanks.

Its apparently an issue that Google has, the app doesn't know what APN to use. Hangouts or another SMS should work fine.

Textra works great.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement

I'm running CM12 (not .1 though) on my LG G3 (D850). I couldn't get Messenger MMS working until I deleted all the APN's that I didn't need. Only kept the ATT LTE one and now MMS works just fine. YMMV, but worth a shot.

I had issues with the APN after a CM12S update. If you are rooted, rename /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db and data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/shared_prefs/preferred-apn1.xml to have a .bak extension (or delete them outright) and reboot. The system will rebuild them and you should get your telephony database and preferred APN restored. If you're not rooted, you don't need to, but you can rename the file via ADB.

Anyone that is still experiencing the issue please follow this link and vote this subject up.
https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-3371
This is the bug log for Cyanogen and they just escalated the issue to critical.

Similar problem but slightly different here.
When I attempt to send mms (using messaging, messenger, hangouts or textra)
It causes device to drop data connection until I turn cell data off and on again.
If I do not send any mms internet works fine on 3g, H+ and LTE (4g)
I have removed all but the optus mms apn, updated the APN to match optus APN listing....
(Primary proxy and authentication had to be changed)
Still no progress. Anyone able to shed some light on where I going wrong?
Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (N910G)
CM12.1

No problem here. I use Hangouts though

tried this method, did not work. I had to go back in after and pick my preferred APN to get data to work again.

when I upgraded to 12.1 my apn was set to internet, rather than cricket aio.
Cricket AIO seems to have the correct settings according to https://www.cricketwireless.com/sup...ice-byod/customer/bring-your-own-android.html
Had to delete internet apn.

Everything's working.
