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

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.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement

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.
I have the following problem on my almost new Desire S.
I browsed the forum, but did not find an answer
i have the correct configuration for both MMS and 3G data.
Test case A)
If I configure only 3g APN, internet is OK, but no MMS (of course)
Test case B)
If I configure only MMS APN, internet does not work (of course) but MMS are perfect.
Test case C)
This is the very strange case...
if I configure both APN for 3g and MMS... internet is OK, but MMS do not work at all...
Sending MMS gives me "generic network error" message
When I receive an MMS, it contains only the text and it display a message saying "can not download"
Any suggestions?

Sorry, I can't offer any sensible advice, as all I can think to suggest would be to do a full reset and then re-setup from sratch, which is probably over the top.
I've never had to manually play with APN's myself. Can you get the VODAFONE website to send you the APN's you need?
I already reset the phone to factory... almost 3 times.
Since 3g APN and MMS APN work fine separately, they are correct.
Yes I get autoconfiguration sms from vodafone, but no chance to have mms and 3g working together

Sounds like a visit to the Vodafone shop or a call to their technical support phone line might have to be your next step.

Try the app: apn global, could be due to apn issues.

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
My MyTouch is actually a HTC Panache from Moblicity, which is apparently the same phone with a different name. I usually use it with WIND Mobile, and when I go to the US, I use my T-Mobile SIM. On my old Hawauai U8100, this was not a problem, and all APNs changed automaticly, and i had no problem using data in the US or Canada. On this phone, however, APN setting are cleared every time i remove the SIM. I already have the settings for WIND and T-Mobile, so I can re-enter them every time, however i noticed that T-Mobile uses the AT&T network in places that there is no T-Mobile coverage (such as upstate NY), so when I am there I only have voice & SMS, but no data, as I do not have AT&T APN setting.
So first of all, I would like to know how my old phone got APNs automaticly, and if that would be possible on the MyTouch, and if not, what are the APN settings for the AT&T network that is shared with T-Mobile?
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.
