[Q] APN Settings for MMS

Seems like every time I flash a ROM, my APN settings won't allow me to send/receive MMS. Does anyone have a setting that works?
My following set up (Which is default):
Name: ATT
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: Blank
Port: Blank
Username: [email protected]
Password: CINGULAR1
Server: Blank
MMSC: wireless.cingular.com
MMS Port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication Type: Blank
APN Type: default,supl,mms
APN Protocol: IPv4
---------------
I am currently using Ninja ROM, and if you have configured the APN settings to have MMS work, please share the settings.
I have searched everywhere and nothing. Even asked in the Ninja thread, and the only response you get is "Oh, mine works...". That's basically a F U. Not helpful responses.
Thanks.

Not sure if you mistyped something, but the MMSC field is not supposed to read: wireless.cingular.com. Make sure it reads: http://mmsc.cingular.com
Also, your Proxy and Port fields should read:
Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
Port: 80
You don't list your MMS proxy field, but it should read: wireless.cingular.com
If the above changes don't fix anything, then let's try breaking out your MMS connection into a separate APN. Use this method (from my APN thread):
Standard warning applies here: as always, before making any major config changes be sure to fully backup your ROM. If you mess up real bad or something goes unexpectedly wrong, then you might permanently lose your connection with no recourse other than a complete restore.
Step 1. Delete all APNs
If you're not already at your APN screen, then from your home screen press Menu button --> Settings --> Wireless and networks --> Mobile networks --> Access Point Names
Press the left side of your 1st APN to go into the settings of this APN, then press Menu>>Delete APN.
Repeat this process for any other APNs you have. The goal is to delete all APNs so we can start from scratch.
Now do the next steps in the same order as below:
Step 2. Create a new APN (Menu>>New APN). Everything is case sensitive and must be entered exactly as below. This will be your 1st APN:
Name: MEdia Net
APN: Phone
MMS protocol (if applicable): WAP 2.0
MCC: (don't change this number)
MNC: (don't change this number)
APN type: default,admin,hipri (notice there is no space on either side of the commas)
APN protocol (if applicable): IPv4
everything else: <Not set>
Press Menu>>Save. You will now be back at the initial APN screen.
Step 3. Create another APN (Menu>>New APN). Everything is case sensitive and must be entered exactly as below. This will be your 2nd APN:
Name: MMS
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
Port: 80
Username: [email protected]
Password: CINGULAR1
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS port: 80
MMS protocol (if applicable): WAP 2.0
MCC: (don't change this number)
MNC: (don't change this number)
APN type: mms,supl (notice there is no space on either side of the comma)
APN protocol: IPv4
APN protocol (if applicable): IPv4
everything else: <Not set>
Press Menu>>Save.
You will now be back at the initial APN screen again. Make sure the 1st APN (named MEdia Net) is selected (via the round radio button on the right side). Your data connection will drop for a few seconds.
We are done at this point. Let me know if this works for you. If not, it is probably a software problem in your ROM somewhere.

I've tried this method you've posted. First of all, thank you.
Now, after setting up both APN's, neither seem to work to get MMS to function. I am not sure why.
I will call AT&T next week.

Hmmm, well at least we gave it a shot. The dual APN config should have worked for you, as it's the same as what comes on the stock ROM. I suppose one last thing you could try would be to get your phone back to pure stock and see if MMS works then. This stock RUU is located in this thread. It is an executable file that you run on your PC, and it completely wipes the phone, unroots it and brings it back to factory stock. If that doesn't work, then maybe your account isn't allowing MMS or something. Good luck either way.

I know it would work on stock, and stock rooted. But with any other ROM I flash, MMS won't work.
Again, thanks for your help. Its no deal breaker, just wish it would work.

I had the same problem I had to change the radio/ril back to stock to get it to work

I did that too on Ninja. And since I'm running Ninja ROM on mine, it seems its only able to use Single APN's.
I don't know.

[Q] Need T-Mobile MMS Fix

Can't seem to send or receive mms. I'm on a T-Mobile pre-paid account. Had the same issue when I had my iPhone but installed a settings fix for it. I've searched multiple forums and found nothing to help. Everything else works fine. It's just mms hangs when trying to send/receive messages. Would like to know how to resolve this issue.

make sure u have the right apn settings for your carrier. Settings > More > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names, and google the aon settings for T-Mobile, then use menu and add, then input and reboot

Still hangs when trying to send message.

Think I figured out the problem. I don't have data or mms on my prepaid account. Weird because I didn't for my iPhone but still could send/receive mms. If anyone could explain this please do. Otherwise please lock/delete this thread. Thanks

I just got a PTEL SIM, but I am unable to get into the APN settings at all to adjust these. Every time I go to "Settings>Wireless and network>Mobile networks>Access Point Names", I get a "Sorry! The application Settings (process com.android settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" error with the only option being to force close the process. I would like to try using APN backup & restore or a similar program to restore it. If you wouldn't mind backing your APN file up & sending it to me, I'd appreciate it.
**Actually n/m, I got it to work. The APN file on my phone was corrupted somehow. For anybody else having similar issues getting into their APN settings, I used APN Backup & Restore to delete the APN files on my phone, then just manually added a new one following the OP's instructions. Also, some other sites specify the whole case sensitive thing, but then capitalize "Wholesale" which didn't work for me. I followed the exact capitalization as the OP and can finally send MMS pictures. Thanks rpetrover!!**
Thanks,
MP.

Anyone else having issues the last week or so with PTEL data/mms?
My wife had been having issues, but we don't use data much so didn't really think about it. Then today someone sent an mms and I had no data to download it, and popped my ptel sim into my old phone to see if it was my ROM or radio, and the other phone had data with the Ptel sim. The difference? The old phone still had the Tmobile APN info.
I added a Tmobile apn to my current phone, and got mobile data back. Seems backwords, but it is on the Tmobile network, so I guess it isn't that far fetched.
So if anyone else is haven't issues with no data on Ptel recently, try adding a Tmobile apn and see if that fixes your issue (don't delete the PTel one in case something changes). Can't hurt.

Mobile data wont turn on on giffgaff Network

Mobile data wont turn on
Hello,
I am in UK and I am on giffgaff network, I try to turn on mobile data but it doesn't work. The arrows on the top bar do not appear as they supposed to when I enable mobile data. I did select O2 Mobile Web APN. Any ideas what could it be? Anyone else having same issues?
Thanks,
Kami

Fixed it, apparently you have to set up APN manually for giffgaff.
Data settings
APN - Access Point Name: giffgaff.com
Login - Username: giffgaff

Proxy: [leave blank]

Make sure not to confuse "proxy" and "MMS proxy". The first one must be left blank and the value for MMS Proxy is 82.132.254.1

Non-AT&T LG G4

So I switched recently from T-Mobile to AT&T and kept my T-Mobile LG G4 using it as an unlocked device. Well during the switch the sales rep added what I'm sure he assumes are the correct APN Settings. After he set up the APN, I get a 4g singal but my phone is not receiving data rendering all my data reliant apps useless, which is a major inconvience. Any have any ideas on how to fix this get an lte or data connection running on the phone.
Thanks in Advanced!
