Mods if you think this should be in a different location feel free to move it. Also I'd like to see a sticky APN thread, because apparently google is too hard to use.
I thought I'd post this because it comes up alot and there isn't a single place this information sits(as far as I could found in my searches). Also I have to find them all over again when it comes up. So here it is.

If you find yourself not able to send MMS messages it is most likely because the proxy,port,username,password fields are not <Not Set>. Just tap these values and delete any information in them. I always restart but not always necessary.
Some people enter 216.155.165.50 for the MMS Proxy and 8080 for MMS Port I have never had to and am not exactly why these values might be needed but try them if the T-Mobile settings don't work.
thx
just what I was looking for :good:

The mms proxy and port is the old settings for Simple Mobile

I wonder if these settings might help S3 phones get LTE :/
I have been trying to get an ATT GS2 - I777 that is rooted and unlocked running on tmobile to accept and receive photos with texts for a week with no luck. I have used the settings provided by T-Mobile with no luck. I am running ICS though and it has a couple different settings. Any idea if that is what is causing it not to work. I can send regular text fine but it dies if you try to send or receive an image. Sending an image shows sending and it never goes. If I try to send from another carrier to this phone it comes back with a failed message in about 5 minutes.

Well I would keep it ipv4. If you can leave any extra settings blank do that. Definitely use APN.
Have you tried leaving everything blank or "not set" except for the servers? The MMS issue is definitely your APN settings.

i believe this may be wrong. the apn fast.tmobile.com should be fast.t-mobile.com
same with epc.tmobile.com (epc.t-mobile.com)
it would not work for me without the dash. (made an account just to post this found with google)

I always have used. epc.tmobile.com however the mmsc uses the T-Mobile.com domain. I can upload screenshots of mine but they are there same as the document. However the name is "T-Mobile US" but I don't think that matters.

my tmobile s3 all messed up
Hey guys,
I just recently bought a version samsung galaxy s3, with a sim card slot. I now use it with t-mobile and it works fine, cant call, send texts, browse internet and e.t.c. I have one problem with the text messaging, i cant receive pic messaging and i dont know why. The message comes to me as a multimedia file, but i press download, and it just tries to download, without making any progress. Can anyone help?

I've seen this happen often with areas of poor or slow network coverage. If the coverage is full 4g try rebooting the phone that helps sometimes

As far as I know, you have to have mobile data in order to receive MMS(picture messages) for SMS (text message) you only need network. Message can't be sent or received via Wi-Fi.

There's an article out there that follows the entire messaging cycle. To my knowledge, which may be wrong, Android routes all messages through the radio. So that if you have Wi-Fi on and your radio off, none of your messages will send until your GSM radio is on and has connected to a network.

My radio on? Can you elaborate please, i have been able to send and receive normal text messages without wifi. I do have a unlimited messaging plan with them. The problem is, the MMS messaging, or the messaging with media files such as pictures

Sure. When I say Radio I mean the GSM wireless radio, which is responsible for the wireless communication between your phone and the service provider's cell towers. And, to my knowledge, all messaging is sent and received through the cellular (GSM) radio through your cellular carrier (T-Mobile in this case.) As for MMS I was under the impression that went through the data network connection and SMS was handled just with the mobile network (Voice call etc...) Make sure your messaging plan includes SMS, if it does contact the carrier (T-Mobile) and make sure they haven't messed anything up. (maybe not phrase it quite like that) but inquire to make sure it is all good on their side.

Hit ok Then menu and save
Power Phone Off and Back on and test both mms and internet
I can confirm this works (as I just tested a mms to and from a Boost Mobile phone) after searching all of the web and not ever able to send or receive MMS.
I assume other have this problem with Simple Mobile from my reading so I am offering this share.

No offense, but I won't be checking or supporting this thread. This is my first real (HD2?) Android phone and I consider myself an Android Noob as I am from the WinMo world. I haven't even changed my sig as I'm too busy learning to customize.
Edit: Was able to send MMS to a Cricket person in FL, but not receive.
I have had hit and miss MMS send and receive not sure what the prob is?
I am not a big MMS, but most importantly the DATA DOES work?
I'm sorry if this is dumb, but does this make mms sent faster or with better quality
This is settings for the carrier Simple Mobile...it is a alternative carrier in some areas with cheaper rates

Does simple mobile have a data cap!? I'm looking at moving from tmo to them but 4g burns a lot of data. I will be web surfing and watching YouTube videos mostly... Thanks... The rumor is there's a cap at 1 gb
2 gigs actually than throttled. but i had more than 4 gig once and nothing happened.
Ok thanks... I'm thinking of moving to simple mobile... they want $35 for sim and programming here in Hawaii. The dealer did say my phone does not need to be unlocked to work on simple ..

Why don't u buy the sim on eBay they go for around $2 with free shipping. Once u get ur sim just go to their site and purchase a plan and ur good to go don't pay all those activation fees or outrageous activation fees those small stores are charging is ridiculous.
