Does anyone know how to setup MMS on this device?
I'm using Xda with Rogers Wireless (cellular service provider) in Canada. I know that I have to subscribe to their MMS service, but they won't support my device and I have to figure out how to set it up myself.
Can ANYONE help? Step-by-Step?
Also, does MMS use GPRS to send/receive MMS message? Or is it the same as TEXT messaging.
REALLY appreciated!
Many thanks for even taking the time to READ this message!
Dear Guinness
PLease find the manual configuration for MMS on XDA IIs.
• Tap "Start > Settings > Connections Tab > Connections"
• Tap "Select Networks" in "Advanced" Tab
• Tap "New…" to create a new Connection Settings
• Enter your "Operator name" : ... "General" Tab. (e.g. O2)
• Go to "Modem" tab. Tap "New…" to add a Connection
• Enter the Connection name : MMS and select the modem type. If you are using GPRS please select "Cellular Line (GPRS). Tap "Next".
• Enter the Access point name (if using GPRS) : (operators apn) . Tap "Next"
• Enter the User name : (check from operator) and Password : (check from operator).
• When you finish, you will see the following screen. A connection named " MMS" is added. Tap "OK" to save and exit.
• Click Edit my proxy server, click the 2 check boxes and enter Proxy Server: (check from operator) and click advanced.
• Enter HTTP prot as (check from operator)
• Enter WAP server as (check from operator) and Port (check from operator). Click OK.
• Tap "Start > Settings > Connections Tab > GPRS settings
• Select: PAP authentication, click OK
• Run the MMS Composer. (Tap "Start > Messaging > scroll and take MMS)
• Tap "Tools, MMS settings…"
• Connect Via: Click the box to scroll down and select the MMS profile you created.
• Go to Servers, edit the existing server or create new.
• Enter the Server Name : MMS , Gateway: (check from operator), Port: (check from operator) and Server Address check from operator)Tap "OK" to save.
• A new Server setting is added
• Tap "OK" to save and exit.
Well usually MMS wrks with GPRS in the background, so it is via GPRS, EDGE or 3G
Hope this helps

As for the 3G It displays the 3G logo but in the settings it says 1xRTT:6 under mobile network type. To get the 3g to work i need to figure out how to get the ha and aaa keys from the donor info i purchased. And again any info would be very much appreciated
first, which doner are you using?
the HA key is "secret" without the quotes
1192 is where you'll find the AAA key, it should be the 10 digits after the 0's
all you need is your user name & that should fix your 3g.
for MMS
replace the apn-config.xml file in
root/system/etc
reboot into recovery & fix permissions
remember to do this EVERYTIME you flash a new rom
reboot system
then ##DATA#
edit
enter your msl
other
then lte apn
& select the new apn file
also, dont forget to fix the mmsc url

Hi. I'm having a problem getting my Spring GS3's 3g and MMS to work.
I used a guide to change the MEID to that of an old Boost HTC Design.
I flashed CM10 on the phone, but was having some signal issues.
After flashing to Wicked Sensations I couldn't connect to the network until I used ##72786#. Now voice and texts work, but I can only get 1x data and I can't edit the APNs.
I use Google Gesture search to get into APN settings, but all the options in the Edit Access Point screen are grayed out and it won't let me edit anything.
This is my first flashing job and I have been searching for days trying to solve this issue. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I think what you said about the user name might help me, but I don't know where to go to change that or what to change it to.
I'm currently on Wicked Sensations if that helps at all.
Thanks!

Sprint Phone To PagePlus 3G MVDO Programming
Software Requirements:
Cheap/Free - New QPST & QXDM Pro or DFS CDMA Tool Donor/Demo
Premium - CDMA Workshop ( FOR THIS PHONE YOU WILL NEED THE PAID VERSION --- NO OTHER OPTION WILL WORK )
ESN Change - not required for Verizon clean non-blacklisted phones
(Signed Keys Required):
To get 3G Data a Phone must obtain Verizon/PagePlus unique ID/Keys after activation that is delivered to each phone.
Each unique HAA/AA password key is tied to the account phone number.
Activation is network new number/port setup, phone to phone ESN/MEID swap, or phone number change.
QPST will write to my HTC EVO. For non-data programming once you do the above just allow the phone to self-activation. It completes but it doesn't program the 3G data.
Requirements:
1. Sprint 3G Cellphone (prefer clean ESN)
2. Either the latest QPST & QXDM Pro (recommended) , CDMA Workshop, or DFS Tool (recommended)
3. Modified Sprint PRL for Verizon Network
4. Verizon DMU Key ( THIS IS THE "10 KEY" IN EFS )
First you must program the Phone to Verizon/PagePlus.
A. Change MSL from Sprint MSL unlock,
ehow Sprint MSL or MSL Reader = marketplace download {require root}
B. Next Program Verizon format contained within documents if not porting with a preexisting phone number use [email protected] and [email protected] for phone provisioning.
C. Copy/Push the DMU Key to Phone’s DMU folder
D. Program the Verizon PRL
E. You must Disable mobile network data before you Dial *228 Activation
F. Activate the Phone with *228 which will update most data information then reboot
G. Within 10 – 15 mins of Activation do the following
H. Verify and correct your [email protected] in phone provisioning to final phone number
I. Program the phone with the following:
Program all Verizon phone passwords and HA Shared passwords to "vzw" without quotes. Click profile 0 and click edit.
Check and make sure your “NAI” is the correct one for Verizon/PagePlus network:
MCC 310 and MNC 00
NAI: [email protected]
MN HA SPI Set: Enable
MN HA SPI Value: 12C
MN AAA SPI Set: Enable
MN AAA SPI Value: 2
Reverse Tunneling: Enable
Home Address: 0.0.0.0
Primary HA Address: 255.255.255.255
Secondary HA Address: 0.0.0.0
DMU Pub Key: 10
MN Authenticator: 0
Rev Tunnel Preferred: Checked now with both passwords hit ok.
Now Profile 1 information below must retain the same data details as profile 0.
Your AAA is [email protected]
Your initial HA Shared is vzw
Rev Tunnel Preferred: Checked now with both passwords hit ok
J. The 3G DATA Sprint trick.
On Sprint a Phone without activation will have its Active Mip profile defaulted to 0. After any type of programming the default Active Profile becomes 1 but you’ll NEED it to be set to 0 for the initial data Verizon programming connection only.
Generally changing the Phone’s Active Mip Profile by ESPT Dialer or by programming software will auto reboot the Phone.
Warning, by all means necessary AVOID the Phone reboot as it will initialize your Phone’s Active Mip Profile back to 1. There is a critical reason for this!
* You’ll need a root experimental ESPT Dialer to change the Phone’s active data profile setting which will fail to reboot.
OR
* You'll need to use CDMA or DFL Tool and change the Active Mip Profile to 0 without rebooting the active Phone. {Not sure reread I}
K. After changing Mip Profile to 0 be sure to view the changed Dialer ESPT ##DATA# “Date Profile” settings at least two as this could crash. At crash view again until the ##DATA# reloads resolves any crashing.
L. After changing the profile above your Phone’s voice and data transmission will be inactive. Toggle “Airplane” mode first ON then OFF. Now your signal bar will show an active broadcast transmission again.
M. Change network to CDMA PRL or do whatever you need to do for the Phone to maintain a stable data connection.
N. Enable the mobile data network, preferably outside. Maintain data connection for at least 10 minutes
O. Before you Reboot / Power off the Phone Disable the mobile data network again.
P. Use DFS TOOL or QXDM Pro and copy all of Mip Profile 0 data to Profile 1. Clone both your HA Shared & AAA passwords then enter all information that was programmed OTA earlier and clone to profile 1.
HA Shared Secret: shouldn't be garbled characters (OTA programming has assigned your phone unique keys)
AAA Shared Secret: shouldn't be garbled characters (OTA programming has assigned your phone unique keys)
Now you’re done!
You will get:
A. Voice
B. Text
C. 3G Data Locked
MMS Setup:
Requires you change the Phone’s APN Settings:
A. Dial ##DATA or Voice Dialer speak “Open APN”
B. Change to:
Port delete {Not Set}
Proxy delete {Not Set}
MMS http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms
press menu button then Save
Thanks bud!
Wow, thank you for taking the time to post all that information. It seems to be a lot more work than I thought, especially with the money I'll have to spend to get the right versions of the required software for this job. I'm seriously thinking of letting someone else just help me. Thank you again for your help!
I have an at&t e980 and im on straight talk updated to 4.4.2 kitkat. When i went to put my APN settings back in the APN Type was grayed out and i couldnt send MMS. I found the solution on the Androud Forum site but cant find the link it was under the g2 forum. Basically you have to be rooted and install SQLite Editor and go to data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases then click on telephony.db and then carriers. Delete all of the APNs but the one listed as LGE DEFAULT and then the Straight Talk one change the apn type line from "default" to "default,mms,supl" and then make everything else match what the other says as far as the values that you didnt input yourself then save and reboot and it will be changed and editable from then on. I dont know if anyone else will need this and my instuctions may not be clear, but i figured an answer is better then no answer. any questions just ask ill do what i can to help

Thanks for the info.. but a couple of things:
1) Should there be only two APNs left after deleting the AT&T APNs ? LGE Default AND Straight Talk only ?
2) You say "and then make everything else match what the other says" ... what are you referring to ? What other? LGE Default APNs should be the same as Straight Talks ?
Edit: Nevermind.. I've tried editing the APNs every which way but I came up empty.

Ok there should only be the two APNs left and all the values other then what you can already edit in the normal settings should match the lg APN if I can I'll go back and see what the values are and post them up here
First thanks to Firebourne for posting this fix.
i had this problem too. and followed what the op suggested and the apn type would just revert to "default,dun" and not be editable when done. after an hour of messing with it i was finally able to get it to work. Here is how; follow the op's instructions and change the type to "default,mms,supl" then also change the value usercreatesetting to "0" (no quotes, of course) that setting survived a reboot and mms is working correctly and the field is editable in the apn settings..

I tried and changed it about 12 times before I was able to change the AT&T APN and edited as StraightTalk. Eventually I was able to send MMS..even to an iphone friend.
It would seem to me that AT&T did something to this update that makes the phone only work properly on their network. Why else would you not be able to edit APN types? If it was a mistake then this is one big @#$%^ mistake and they need to get it fixed in a hurry.
Ok. So I said the hell with it and went ahead and rooted. Now im trying to do this but it's SOOOOO unclear. Someone needs to clear this up and give proper instructions. I did what the OP said to do, the settings stuck, but pics still wont go out. This is frustrating to say the least. Can someone please step in here and clarify this? Following the OP, I have only two apns( LG default and my straight talk) I edited the straight talk with the default,mms,supl line. What do I do with the LG default!!!!!!! People are talking about editing the AT&T apn but the OP says to " Delete all of the APNs but the one listed as LGE DEFAULT and then the Straight Talk one change the apn type line from "default" to "default,mms,supl". OK!
I have NO idea WTH you mean when you say "and then make everything else match what the other says as far as the values that you didnt input yourself". Ummm...What?
EDIT: Ok. I got it working. Don't "delete" anything. Just change two values in your Straight Talk APN. Change the "default" to "default,mms,supl" and "usercreatesetting" to 0. THAT"S IT! Again, DON"T delete anything!

I have an at&t e980 and im on straight talk updated to 4.4.2 kitkat. When i went to put my APN settings back in the APN Type was grayed out and i couldnt send MMS. I found the solution on the Androud Forum site but cant find the link it was under the g2 forum. Basically you have to be rooted and install SQLite Editor and go to data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases then click on telephony.db and then carriers. Delete all of the APNs but the one listed as LGE DEFAULT and then the Straight Talk one change the apn type line from "default" to "default,mms,supl" and then make everything else match what the other says as far as the values that you didnt input yourself then save and reboot and it will be changed and editable from then on. I dont know if anyone else will need this and my instuctions may not be clear, but i figured an answer is better then no answer. any questions just ask ill do what i can to help

When I change any thing my APN all vanish. and it just blank I can Add new APN but still can not Change APN Type. Thoughts on what I may be doing Wrong?
Okay I have figured out my problem I had flashed the 20 G version of 4. 4.2 KitKat and in so doing it was not letting me edit so I flashed back to 4.1 .2 did not root my phone set my APN settings and allowed the phone to update from the phone's software update once the phone was updated to the new 4.4.2 KitKat from at&t I rooted my phone and used to the SqLite editor to go in and change my settings now my picture messages works... I did not delete anything I only changed the two settings that were mentioned buy one of the commentators in the section

Solution for Android 4.4.2 (Build E98020G) on Straight Talk (AT&T LTE)
I tried every solution I could find on the web (and xdaDevelopers) for changing the APNs on my rooted LG Optimus G Pro E980, but at first, nothing worked. Eventually, I came across this solution and created a walkthrough (see my updated thread on the topic):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-g-pro/help/guide-set-straight-talk-apn-rooted-t2807611
Finally an answer WITHOUT ROOT
It is possible to change the APN type without SQLite or root. The guys at my work figured this out. It is kind of a tricky workaround, but this is tested and working on LG Optimus G Pro, G Flex, and G2 with the MMS issues.
1. Go to the APN Settings and reset them to default. After that you should only see the AT&T APN
2. With the SIM card in the phone open Mobile Networks (get to the screen where you can click on Access Point names.)
3. DO NOT POWER OFF THE PHONE FOR THIS PART! On that screen and with the phone still on, slide the SIM out. You should get a prompt asking to reset the phone. DO NOT RESET THE PHONE.
4. After the prompt click on Access Point Names. There should be no APNs here. If the AT&T APN is still here go back to step 1.
5. Now you need to create a new APN whit the SIM is removed. The APN should be as follows:
Name: Straight Talk MMS
apn: tfdata
user: (blank)
server: (blank)
password: (blank)
proxy: (blank)
port: (blank)
mmsproxy: 66.209.11.33
mmsport: 80
mmsc: http: // mms-tf. net - This is spaced for Junior User restrictions. Should be no spaces.
authtype:none
type: mms
THE APN TYPE SHOULD ONLY BE FOR MMS. DO NOT PUT ANYTHING ELSE IN THE "TYPE" FIELD
6. Now with everything typed in DOUBLE CHECK EVERYTHING. If it is correct you can save this APN. Once it is saved there will still be no APNs on the APN page.
7. Pull the battery and put the SIM back in the phone.
8. Go back to the APN settings and DO NOT open the APN you just created or it will reset the entire process!!!!! If you did everything right the Straight Talk MMS APN you just made should not have the selection bubble. If you have a selection bubble on the Straight Talk MMS, go back to Step 1.
9. Make another new APN as Follows:
Name: Straight Talk
apn: tfdata
user: (blank)
server: (blank)
password: (blank)
proxy: (blank)
port: (blank)
mmsproxy: (blank)
mmsport: (blank)
mmsc: (blank)
Mcc: 310
Mnc : 410
type: default
10. Save this APN and select it. You should get LTE shortly after that.
That's it! If you want MMS without root this is the only other workaround I know of! This was tested on multiple Optimus G Pro, G Flex, and G2 and is working! Hope it Helps.

It is important that once you have entered all the info for the new APN, you must press the menu button and select save. Then one you are back to the previous screen, select the radio button next to your new APN to select it.
Yes, it worked on my LG Optimus G Pro
I agree that's one helluva clever workaround...tried it and got the custom MMS APN setting in as described, then got the selectable ST APN as described into the phone as well. The first couple of times I tried to send an MMS it was still stuck in the proverbial Sending loop going nowhere - but then it decided on try number three to go through...weiiiiiiiiiird indeed.
I may still end up rooting and changing the APN database...this is a deliberate attempt by AT&T to block carriers like Straight Talk from having MMS functionality...a very subversive workaround to the prospect of Congress passing new unlocking legislation. I'd love to have been a fly on the wall when the managers, engineers and the lawyers discussed this little scheme. I have some lawyers of my own I'm gonna run this one by - yes I'm talking to you AT&T and whomever else was in on this little collusionary party - I hope LG didn't sign off on this little scheme...would be interesting to know if the KitKat updates anywhere else in the world disabled APN's in the same way. The Hill isn't going to like this much when they find out, nor The White House.
Thanks for the non-root suggestion, strange as it is. For those of you trying this one, it took several reboots before the MMS messages started working correctly...I was about to give up and re-root, and bingo, it worked. What a kluge just to try and block functionality...naughty naughty.

Thanks for posting this!!!
The woman has an LG G Pro on ST and hasn't been able to get picture messages for a while now until I came upon these instructions.
I didn't follow the instructions exactly, I had the mms apn and the defualt apn added before putting the sim card back in and it still worked.
Default option got picked up w/out me even having to change to it.
Again, thanks a bunch for posting this friend!!

Hey guys,
I did the fix last night but after a restart and a few hours later, the phone didn't get mms service again.
I checked the apn and the "mms" apn , the "type" got reset back to default instead of mms.
I know I followed the instructions a little differently my first time around but the second and third time I followed the instructions exactly but still got the same results after a few hours.
Anyone have any suggestions? Location service seems to be messing up too..
It also didn't work for me. I've tried a lot of settings and tricks and I just can't seem to crack it. I'm on a locked D800 (AT&T G2) with KitKat Modem, Mahdi ROM and a "new" Straight talk AT&T micro sim.
