Guys I need help. Set up my phone yesterday but I am not receiving mms. Did a web search and found an article on z5-compact apn for Tmobile but shocker it doesn't work. Anyone ha e the specific apn settings to go by for mms?

MMS isn't usually device specific, here is a T-Mobile support thread about MMS.

If you're on wifi, you should be able to pull the settings down

Did you get it working? I'm having the same problem.
Make sure when you update your APN, you reboot the phone. Had same issues trying to get MMS, checked all settings several times, then rebooted, worked like a charm.
any one still having problems with mms? I just found the fix after 2 days of non stop trial and error. oh and lets not forget restarting the phone a trillon times. it takes forever to boot back up

Just picked up my phone this morning, and I have not been able to send out any mms messages out. It just hangs, and keeps retrying. I got my update about an hour ago, and still no go. Errr... I hate new phone issues!
Anyone able to send out mms messages, or are you having issues as well?

Weird that you're having problems. I sent 3 MMS in the store right after they activated the phone, it was sent and received very quickly.
Edit:
Oops didn't see you had the issue fixed before I posted. :X

Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
I have been having problems with my mms since I first received my Nexus. MMS take 3 days to send and downloading mms gets stuck at downloading and never opens. I did some research and from what I understand it has something to do with your APN settings, try searching for the correct APN settings for your area and provider. APN settings can be found in ---> SETTINGS>WIRELESS&NETWORKS>MOBILE NETWORKS>
ACCESS POINT NAMES
** I have yet to fix my MMS issues, if you find something I would love to know

Yea, I don't know if re-flashing the ROM would be of any use. Some people argue that MMS only work if you have a data plan with your provider, but I've read otherwise as well. I've also heard of Nexus users getting more up-to-date sim cards and that fixed their issues, maybe worth a try? You might want to give your provider a call and ask them for the correct APN settings or at least explain your problem to them and see if they offer any assistance.
Hi everybody,
We all know that ICS has made it a bit difficult to edit your APN(s). We also know that some of us have been having issues getting MMS to work when we install ICS on our Epics.
Luckily after a lot of research and a little tinkering I found a great fix that worked right away. I took the APN Settings from an Epic Touch 4g.
1. Within you Epic open your Voice Dialer App.
2. When prompted say "Open APNs".
3. Another pop up will appear, tap on the OPEN APNs message that pops up.
4. The next screen will show one single APN called Sprint tap on it.
5. On the next screen you will see the list of settings for the specific APN. Below are the list of settings that finally got my MMS working.
a. Username: Sprint
b. MMS Proxy: 68.28.31.7
c. MMS Port: 80
**ALL OTHER SETTINGS STAY THE SAME**
6. Once completed tap the menu button and tap save.
7. Reboot for good luck.
Steps 1-3 will also work for Epic owners trying to edit APN settings to use on another carrier.
Hope the info helps!
Is this more for wifi or 3g. Cause I know I have trouble sometimes. I followed your thing. Guess I'll see how it goes. Cause I don't remember when I have had mms fail for testing.

Interesting. I just noticed this today when I couldn't see an mms in an otherwise awesome CM9 RC1.
I just installed HandcentSMS and that worked, but I prefer not having the extra apps. I'll try this over the weekend.

I believe it only applies to 3G since the APLs are only used as network identifiers by mobile devices.
Interesting. Where did you find the info?

The first three steps were from another post i found through a Google search (Dont ask, i unfortunately dont remember). Once i found out how to access the APL in ICS it was just of matter of finding the APL info for another Sprint phone (in this case a Galaxy II) and entering that info in my Epic's APL.
this was one of the main reasons i installed TPR, may have to switch back to ICS, if this fixes the MMS issues!
Very interesting. Now I need to receive an mms to test.
One thing I noticed was after following all steps, a lot of other information was populated in the Sprint settings when I went back to look.

Wanted to give out a BIG thanks for this fix
I installed CM9, RC1, and had issues sending MMS. Was unsure if it was the towers in San Diego, as I was just visiting,or the phone, but as I has some extra time, I went so far as to do a full wipe and reload of CM9 RC1. Still, over several days, was unable to get a MMS to send 9 out of 10 times, no matter what I tried, while plain text messages went right away.
I rebooted my phone, tried sending a MMS, and it stuck on sending. Gave it 15-20, and even rebooted. Still stuck at sending. I deleted the message, made this fix, rebooted, and tried to send a MMS again, and the MMS sent right away
huge thanks for this! works like magic.

I ask because I posted this in the rc1 thread about 4 hours before this one.

I too can confirm that this works to solve the MMS issues on WIFI. However, be careful; when I rebooted after applying the fix, my phone tried resending all of my past MMS messages. It really bogged my phone down, and I had to delete them in order to stop it from happening.

Works like a champ
Fix works great on AOKP Build 40 :good:
Would this fix work on a phone flashed to Boost Mobile?, the MMS issues is one of the few major things keeping me off anything CM9 related...

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!

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.

OK, there is an issue with select Motorola Photon Q's where the MMS function doesn't work on the stock messaging application. I actually had mine replaced over the issue, as I was unable to send or receive MMS. This should not be an issue with the network. From my understanding, Sprint is aware of the issue, as the store I bought my phone at called them to try to fix the issue. So, an OTA should come out with the fix.
Now, there is a workaround that has worked for me. Use another messaging app, such as Go SMS Pro, and MMS will work.

So glad I found this thread..On my third Photon Q in three days. First had a defective vibrate motor..the second would not send or receive MMS unless using WiFi so they replaced it. Third one is doing the same thing. Just installed Handcent SMS and its working perfect using the 3G. Maybe someone should forward this to Sprint? I after two hours wasted with tech support and several tickets created, I am thrilled with the phone now. I love everything about it except the MMS not working. Thanks guy!!
There has been a fix for this issue as per the Sprint discussion board. I have verified it has fixed my MMS problem. You will need your MSL to change a setting, if you dont have it you need to call sprint or use another method to obtain it. It appears some data profile usernames were borked during provisioning
Steps to follow:
1. Open your dial pad and dial ##3282#
2. Tap on Data Profile
3. Look at your username, mine ended in ".comom"
4. If yours is obviously wrong (like mine), fix it, save it and then reboot phone.
5. good to go.
Yepe... Mine says .compcs.com... Gonna have to call Sprint.
Thanks for this.
