When I set my apn to ATT Phone my data connection is fine. I can surf the interwebs and send and receive emails and texts okay but I can't receive mms. I changed my apn to ATT WAP and I was able to receive mms but no interwebs or emails. I am rooted and running gtg's infused 2.1.0. Any thoughts?

Fixed
I figured it out. went to settings, wireless and network, mobile network, access point names, selected ATT WAP, scrolled down to APN type and selected Interwebs + MMS. Good to go!
I am running the latest MIUI rom on my G2x. Everything works fine, but I can not send MMS picture messages or recieve them. I can send regular text messages, but no picture messages. Please help ???
Thank you !
Are you on wifi?

Well yes, I have both WiFi and Regular Data ... but I use WiFi 95% of the time. Why ?
Thanks

You can't do MMS over wifi, you'll have to switch to mobile data to do MMS. It should work normally, but I've found that MIUI and MMS don't really go together when you're on wifi.

Ok I see. I turned off WiFi and of course my data doesn't work. I thought MIUI/CM7 fixed the loss of apn (data) issue ? Although I can make calls, I can not use data over the mobile network unless I remove my battery and reboot with WiFi off. This sucks.

Yup! I can successfully connect. But my apns have data and mms as different profiles. So I think its switching to mms then before it sends properly it tries switching back to data? I don't think there's a way to combine the two apns for wind mobile. But it works fine on weapon :s any more clues??
Thanks for your help so far!!

APNs are like that. One APN for data, one for mms.

Hmm I noticed in #*#*4636*#*# that my phone is constantly switching between data and mms. I've tried deleting the mms that I'm sending but the phone still constantly switches between the two. Anyone have any reasons?

I just checked and once I try and send an mms it locks the phone in this vicious cycle of switching between internet and mms apn settings. Then a reboot fixes it. Anyone else experience this? I'm not sure if or how I can give more detailed info.
i dont have any issue, but sometime when phone goes through dead spot and radio crashes.. where it stay stuck in no service, you flick on plane mode and it doesn't effect it. So you'd have to reboot in order to get your service back. Otherway around that is you go in mobile network and select your network, but apns will disappear. :d SO just reboot.

Would it be too much trouble to ask you how did you fix this? some of us are dealing with this issue and we will appreciate if you can give us the solution since there's no patch or fix out there
thanks
I looked around and found that mms doesn't work over wifi, regardless of rom or root or anything. It seems the tmo servers need to make a data connection in order to start mms send. I've never had a problem receiving mms over wifi, but sending seems not possible.
Edit: As far as receiving, I enabled "auto retrieve"and have had no problems receiving mms on wifi.

I'm not using WiFi to send MMS and after checking the APNs I found two one says epc.t-mobile.com and the other one says simple with proxy settings in it... did a hard reboot, reboot, wipe dalvik cache, wipe cache and still have the same issue, very frustrating
So of course I have the Samsung infuse 4g, It always worked fine, but these past few days, whenever i receive a mms, it comes as a link, and I cannot send a single mms out... I have the MIUI rom installed (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1355691) and i just have a few tweaks on it, the adrenaline, cm7 froyo one. they never bothered me, so i know thats not the cause. is it just the server being down or something? or is anyone else having this problem? and know a fix? xD
Go to settings > Wireless and Network > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names. I'm not sure if it's the same in MIUI, but it should be similar. You most likely only have 1 APN, which is for internet. You will need to add a 2nd APN or do the 1 APN trick to get MMS, but your internet Speeds WILL be lowered.
How do you do that trick? o.o

I just got the N5 for T-Mobile. I am having issues trying to send MMS (pictures or group texts). Data is enabled as well as Wifi. This setting the mms just hangs and never goes through. I have to turn wifi off in order for it to go through. This doesn't seem ideal as it should be able to switch automatically.
Is there a solution?
You can try 8sms. It worked for me
You try fixing your APN settings?

I have tried other apps like Textra, etc, but none of them can handle MMS properly. If I am on WiFi, MMS will never download or send. If I turn off WiFi, I have about a 50% success rate and they usually end up coming in hours later. I have tried different ROMs, different APN settings, different apps. It is a shame that T-Mobile sells this phone with pathetic MMS capabilities on their network. I understand it works fine with other networks, but T-Mobile is atrocious.
So, is there anyone out there using this phone T-Mobile who doesn't want to throw their phone in the ocean when dealing with MMS? I'd be interested to know your setup.
Thanks for your help?
not a single issue with sms or mms here, on tmobile in nyc. do you have the correct apn? or do you have it entered correctly? im using the fast.tmobile.com apn.
Same here no problems with native messaging app and textra
No problem with stock AOSP MMS or Hangouts or 8SMS. I did have trouble with another third party client but I don't remember what it was, think maybe Textra the same one you used.
No problems with MMS although I will admit I had some problems with MMS but that was the app's fault. I had to manually put the MMS because the auto detection wasn't working just yet. I'm using chompSMS. Textra SMS worked fine as well.
Ensure you have the right APN. Also the T-Mobile APN is fast.t-mobile.com the - matters.
No issues with Purity rom and MMS...
Go to Settings>Wireless&Networks>More>Mobile Network>Access Point Names and select T-Mobile. If there isn't one then add one with the name T-Mobile and the address as fast.t-mobile.com should fix your MMS issues

Which APN?
Are you on Android L? Sounds like the same issues I had. I tried all the APN tricks and it still wouldn't work. I would get them occasionally when off Wifi. On stock 4.4.4 I don't normally have issues with MMS.
