Faster 3G Speeds with more APN info in settings

Hi guys,
I saw this on another forum, but a guy said that his other friends on t-mobile had much higher download speeds on 3G than him on his Desire, so he entered their 3G settings into APN and apparently has much faster speeds. I'm not sure how to measure the speeds so thought I'd just post the settings here for you guys to see whether it really is faster or not! Here it is:
name= T-mobile Internet
apn= general.t-mobile.uk
username = t-mobile
password= **
mmsc= h ttp://mmsc.t-mobile.co.uk:8002/
mms proxy= 149.254.201.135
mms port= 8080
mmc= 234
mnc= 30
auth= pap
I can't post urls yet so there's a space in the mmsc.
Probably shouldn't delete original APN settings just in case.

Download speedtest from the market

That's what my settings already are...

any settings for Orange ?
The ones on the web site are all blank .. bar the name of the APN

For those not sure, the password is "tm"

ok before i had DL 5kb/s and UP about 200kb/s
now after entering these settings i have DL 170kb/s UP 50kb/s
any idea if changing the settings will make us pay them some kind of extra charges?

I've tried this with vodafone and can confirm it works. In fact the settings I used were from vodafone's actual website under Vodafone MMS.
I was testing under HSDPA signal:
Download (before): 1093 kbps
Download (after): 1904 kbps
Upload (before): 290 kbps
Upload (after): 440 kbps
The settings are:

Anything for O2?

Have tried this myself and didn't seem to make any difference

of course its the same.. cos they're the same settings the network provider install when you set up your internet
why would it be any different lol

Hi I don't see how the settings mentioned would affect your browsing speed as by default the handset will only use this APN for MMS messages. My handset by default is set to use 'Vodafone Post-pay ISP' APN.

Hi
I can confirm that for T-Mobile UK changing the settings as mentioned does improve speed e.g. from download 0.5mb/s to 0.95mb/s (tested just before and after changing settings)
Thanks

Before applying, top downspeed on speeds didn't even hit 500. After wards, I hit 1335!!! Almost 1337!.... but yeah, that's fast...
Also, less data dropping...

what software is your phone running as my phone on orange and o2 pick up the settings auto (listed as apn already)

Manually entering the Orange settings seems to make no difference to my speeds, anyone else get a boost?

not sure if its just me but on my phone (running a rooted custom rom) if I change the mnc to 30 (like stated above) the new apn is not saved and autimatically deleted.. If I leave the mnc on 33 it will then allow me to save the apn. anyone have a clue why this is?

o2 mms settings?

Hi All,
I'm having trouble with the mms settings on my Desire...(3g works fine) I've put in the following settings that I found online somewhere but it doesn't work (won't send mms). I'm on o2 simplicity 20 tariff.

Does anyone on o2 have different settings that work? Or let me know what I'm doing wrong?...thanks!

Try these settings, they should hopefully work: http://forum.o2.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=144262#144262

I am on the same tariff and my MMS works perfectly ..... apart from the resizing issue.
My details are the same as yours apart from :

and

Thanks Mastoid!
Yep the that's the link I got my original settings from...
I'll try out the small changes hot-fuzz recommended too...checked my other APN setting and they were the same.
Don't know where I'm going wrong...I can receive them ok...just trying to send them takes forever and it never gets sent.
Just switching off the phone now...will see if it works and report back...
EDIT: (stupid) question...but do i need to have 3g on for mms to work? Never had to on my other (non-smart) phones but thought these might be different...

Yes, 3G/GPS/EDGE is needed, that's the cellular connection
Do you have 3G in your area?
SMS uses a small data channel on the GSM protocol. This data channel is used to transmit information about the network (like the name, signal, type, etc) and for example connect calls. It was also realised it could be used to send small messages, then SMS was born.
Now, MMS is entirely different. When you get an MMS what actually happens is that you get a special type of SMS that tells your phone that it needs to connect to a server to download a MMS message. Doing so means it opens a data connection through GPRS, EDGE, 3G, HDSPA, or whatever data connection channel is available.

Just to add to this. You dont need to have it ON, you just need to have it available.
I have Mobile Network turned off at home and 3G automatically turns on for the purpose of sending an MMS.

Thanks again for the helpful advice! Seems like I hav to manually turn on 3g for it to send. Will wait and see if the recipient responds...

...still no good, can't send mms settings are exactly as suggested above. Hopefully once o2 release the desire it might help...

found this over on the AV Forums, it's for htc magic but some guy replied that the settings also work with the desire.

Right after far too much messing around I have managed to get the settings to work!!!
This guide is based on a HTC Magic that has been unlocked and rooted and is now running a O2 SIM card.
You will need to set up 2 x APNs on the handset.
First one is for your mobile internet. Remember that if you do not have the unlimited web bolt on then this will start to get very expensive for you! You need to enter this information in. If there is nothing written for a paticular field then just leave it blank.
Mobile Web:
Name: o2
APN: mobile.o2.co.uk
Username: web
Password: web
MCC: 234
MNC: 10
MMS:
Name: MMS
APN: wap.o2.co.uk
Username: o2wap
Password: password
Server: http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002
MMSC: http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002
MMS Proxy: 193.113.200.195
MMS Port: 8080
MCC: 243
MNC: 10
Now once these two seperate APN's have been entered and you have made sure you saved them you should see a grey circle next to each one. Click on the MMS circle and it should now have a green light inside it.
Re-Boot the handset.
You should now have mobile internet and MMS capabilities
Just remember that these are the settings that worked for me on my HTC Magic unlocked and used with a O2 SIMplicity card with a unlimited web bolt on. Make sure you have a data package otherwise your phone bills will be massive! If in doubt check with O2 to make sure your not being charged for the data etc. I cannot be held responsible!

I just found those settings on avforums thanks, tried resetting the MCC to 243 and clicked save...but the whole APN was removed/deleted so had to reset it back up using 234 as standard.
Just wanna make sure - is it 234 or 243 that I should be using?

Just wanted to say thanks for the settings!
Was trying to figure this out & found the info very useful
Bloody lack of o2 support lol

I used to have an Iphone 3G for which I sold and now I have the Desire but I still use my Pay and go O2 SIM which I got for my Iphone, all the setting I had found didnt seem to work but after scouring the web I found a page which gave me most of the settings. I now have internet and MMS. The setting I used are as followed. (p.s. please restart phone once input) (p.p.s.

Go to settings then Wireless & Networks then scroll down till you find Mobile networks (set option for roaming, networks, APNs)
then Access Point Names, Push Menu and New APN.
Then input the following

Take the "N" out of the end. It should only be /wapenc
Edit: the full mmsc should be:
Http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
That should be the root of your issue. :beer:

I tried that. the weird thing is I work at a cell phone place and configure apn's, but when i configure my phone it never works. can it be because cm9 or a radio issue ?

Hi there,
Just a small correction I found.
"APN TYPE : INTERNET + MMS" should be "APN TYPE : DEFAULT,MMS". I found the setting at http://androidforums.com/hero-support-troubleshooting/45005-mobile-network-apn-settings.html
Also that thread set the following proxy, port:
Proxy: 74.49.0.18
Port: 80
Once I made these change, I finally got Telus LTE data working again.
Thanks!

You don't need to set the proxy and port. Getting rid of the proxy is only really a concern if you want to block (some) adverts.
I believe "Internet + MMS" is for a device original to Telus. "default,mms" or "default,mms,supl" is for devices not from Telus. That's been my experience, anyway.
YMMV

[GUIDE] USA AT&T 4G/LTE APN Settings for the M2 (tested & working)

Here are the US AT&T 4G/LTE APN settings for the M2. I have tested this on my M2-802L and it all appears to work. Note that incorrect APN settings not only affect MMS send/receive, but also your cellular data connection as a whole.
Those who are not AT&T subscribers, or are not on the AT&T network, may cheerfully ignore this thread.
The APN settings can be found in your "Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> More... -> Mobile Network -> Access Point Names" item.
Touch the "Access Point Names" item to open up the "APNs" screen.
In the "APNs" screen, touch the "Menu" burger on the bottom of the screen.
In the dialog box that opens up, select the "New APN" option. This brings up the "Edit access point" screen where you can enter the details of the new APN.
Enter the following details in the "Edit access point" screen (make sure that everything in bold green below is entered exactly as shown):
Name = Nxtgenphone
APN = Nxtgenphone
Proxy = Not set
Username = Not set
Server = Not set
MMSC = http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMS Proxy = proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS Port = 80
MCC = 310
MNC = 410
Authentication Type = Not set
APN type = default, mms, supl, hipri
APN protocol = IPv4
APN roaming protocol = IPv4
Bearer = Unspecified
MVNO type = None
Verify everything that you have entered above one more time.
Press the "Save" button in the menu bar at the bottom of the screen. At this point you should be taken back to the "APNs" screen.
On the "APNs" screen, press the circle to the left of the new "Nxtgenphone" APN you just created. This should activate the APN. WARNING: DO NOT ACTIVATE THIS APN IF YOU ARE NOT ON THE AT&T NETWORK OR ARE NOT AN AT&T SUBSCRIBER!
Happy data trails :fingers-crossed:

Hi there - does this help with getting LTE speeds? What data speeds and connectivity/speed level are you getting with your M2?
Thanks.
