I'm on the $55 cricket plan and I need some help figuring out how to configure the MMS on it because some of it is different because of all the different layouts and things. I've had a frustrating time trying but still no success. If anyone could give me the settings or tips on how to flash the mms onto there it would be EXTREMELY helpful! I'm running the V1.0 of the MikG rom, thanks in advance for any help!
No help???
I've been unable to get MMS working on MikG 2.1 through importing the APN that used to work in my own rom or by attempting to manually input the information. Sucks because I kind of like the rom, but no MMS is a deal breaker for me. I don't know what's so different that the old method of updating the APN info to Cricket doesn't work.
Yeah I agree. I absolutely love the rom but without MMS it's quite disappointing. I tried using my APN backup and restore file that I've used for all other roms (which always works) and it has no effect. I looked into the messaging application and it is a bit different as you can actually set your MMS settings inside the messaging app, but either that doesn't work or I am putting in the wrong data connections. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone could spread some light on the situation.

Hey everyone.
I have recently upgraded to the AT&T 8525 from a Cingular 8125. The phone is unlocked and I am using it on t-mobile network with t-zones.
Currently I have the Hermes_WM6_WWE_vp3G_v3.62.3_ATT_Full rom installed. The rom is fantastic!! The only problem is that the AT&T browser is know to be locked so I am unable to surf the web. I have tried other browsers but have the same result. If I update the proxy settings to include WAP it works. All http requests get changed to wsp.
I have been searching the forums for the past couple days and I haven't found a solution. Is there anyone out there that may have a fix or workaround for this issue.
I have tried the FARIA R32. That rom didn't have that issue but but had others like flaky wifi connections and no mms.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks!!
why not use opera mobile?
or pie?
i dont even remember a att browser
I am referring to PIE. Sorry if I wasn't clear. I have tried Opera and Minimo. Same results.
It makes me think here is something deeper then just the application used.
The strange part is all other apps requiring internet access function without issue. It's only surfing the internet that seems to be the issue.
If I enter http://anysite.com it gets changed to wsp://anysite.com
Not sure but seems it's a PIE registry user agent setting. Maybe this thread has the answer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1198850
Thanks for the suggestion. I checked it out that the registry settings seem to be fine. It maybe in the Browser.DLL which they talk about in the thread.
I am going to continue to look into the problem. The other roms I have checked out don't have this issue. It's only the AT&T based roms that have this issue.
Can anyone recommend a good WM6 rom that works well with T-Mobile?
Thanks!!
Hi,
I've used Schaps 4.31 and am currently using Pays 2.15 Full without problems, but I have total internet. You mention that you have T-zones which is the 5.99 option. I think, wap is the only way you are going to get anything with that plan.
I will give that Pay 2.15 rom a try.
I've been using T-zones on my wizard for that past year without issues. WAP is not the only option of T-zones that's why I have kept it for so long.
Do you have issues with MMS on the Pay 2.15 Rom?
Roms where MMS works Internet browsing doesn't and roms where internet browsing works MMS doesn't ... go figure.
-----------------------------
I am using the Pay 2.15 rom and so far so good.
The only issue is that the symbols on the keyboard are mapped incorrectly. I need to find a fix for that now. If it's not one thing it's another.
I think when you had your 8125 the port settings were set to be open for full internet why just having the 5.99 t-zone plan and know that you have a 8525, you need those connection settings again, which I cant remember but you can do a search here or at www.howardforums.com
If you have T-Mobile why flash an ATT based ROM to your phone?

Because I hadn't found a T-Mobile rom.
It's all working fine now. For anyone who is needing the keyboard symbols fixed, I have attached the cab to fix it. Keyboard_Symbols_8525_Fix.CAB
Have you used one of the connection wizards...Schaps roms have one and seem to work for me ...but I am using AT&T so I can't say if it sets up T-Mobile correctly or not....
Glad it,s working ok now. Pays ROM includes Advanced Config from Schaps ROMS and one of the options in there is keyboard mapping, so if you ever have to hard reset, just change it there next time and you won't have to re-install the keyboard fix cab.
does anybody knows what to do about mms i have try six drifrent roms from manila 2.1 to 2.5 none of this rom since to have mms working need help, or going to have to go back to the stock rom i dont want to do that. please help.
I'm using The Cell Pro Series V8 with Manila 2.1 and mms works fine for me, give it a try if not already but failing that perhaps run a connection wizard which sets up the mms settings or worst case scenario get in touch with you operator.
Hope this helps
mms not working
thanks i try calling operator'
if you have a cdma phone then mightymike works perfectly...his seems to be the most stable, reliable, and most "stock" like...give it a shot
mms not working
im using the cell pro v8 still the same problem next step is to call operator thanks.
mms not working
it looks like the problem was att, they fix it so im happy againg o by the way the cell rom v8 is the best i try thanks.
Hey all,
Hoping that someone here has some insight with regard to a problem I am having with MMS.
Firstly, let me say that I have had no problems sending and receiving MMSes on my original HTC ROM, nor with Modaco 3.x ROMs.
Recently, I started trying out some of the cooked 2.1 ROMs appearing on XDA, and I am loving them. However, for the life of me, I cannot get MMS to work. I've tried CKDroid, Villian and jnwhiteh's AOSP 2.1 ROMS, and all do the same thing.
I have confirmed that my APN settings are 100% correct by reverting back to an old Nandroid backup from when I had the original ROM installed. I copied those to the LETTER, and still no luck. A work colleague has a G1 with the latest Cyanogen ROM, and I've tried his settings too. I've even flashed Cyanogen's APN list on the three ROMs I've tried, to no avail.
I can only conclude that something in AOSP 2.1 is not quite right. I'm aware that some people are having success with MMS though, and I cannot really explain this. My theory is that perhaps they have a singular APN for both internet and MMS. My Network provider requires two. Perhaps it is this "switching" between the two that is not working correctly. However, I have also tried leaving ONLY my MMS APN installed, also without success. I guess that kinda blows my theory out the water.
Pretty sure I've tried everything imaginable without having any deeper knowledge of what goes on in the background (which is why I am appealing to the boffins here).
Any help / advice would be greatly appreciated!
I've only used the Kagudroid and Modaco ROMS. And MMS works fie on Kagudroid, so maybe give that a go?
just tried on Villian 1.2. and it works, I have as well special MMS APN. I assume you have it, but just make sure you have type=default set for the network ( not MMS ) APN.
Wow, okay thanks, I'll give that a shot!
Just to give this problem a bit od support, i have also had an MMS problem, but i have to admit i have only been using Modaco 2.9 and 3.1.
If i am on Wifi or 2G and i want to send or recieve MMS the phone will temporarily connect to 3G and download the message and then revert back. If i am already connected through 3G the phone wont download or send the message.
HTH

UPDATE: I am officially sick and tired of typing in the same APN settings over and over again, but I can now at least officially confirm that MMS (perhaps where two APNs are used) is working in both Villain 1.2.1 and KaguDroid 1.3. Identical settings do not work in CKDroid or jnwhiteh's AOSP 2.1.
What does this mean? What makes Villain and Kagu different? I believe Kagu is based on an HTC kernel, could this be it?
Either way, I hope that this information will assist the devs working on custom ROMs in finding a solution for people like kkoouu and myself. Clearly there is a problem in the mix *somewhere*.
Hi - I too have been having this problem. It works fine with Modaco 3.1, but not with Espresso Hybrid nor Villain.
Could you detail step by step how you got it working? I've never changed any APN settings ( indeed I don't know what my settings are or how to change them! ).
cheers
Villain doesn't include a huge APN list like Modaco, so you will have to input your APN settings manually. You can get these from your Modaco ROM (write them down), and input them into Villain.
Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Mobile networks -> Access Point Names
The key seems to be that you MUST have "default" under TYPE for your internet APN, and "mms" for your MMS APN.
VERYYY Silly question -- do you have to have data-network on to send MMS?
I thought not - but I just tried it and it worked

Where did you check your setting or what did you use to compare them with.
I for example am on T-Mobile in Germany. On every custom Rom I've noticed a wrong mms apn. The mmsc was always http://mms.t-d1.de but the correct one is http://mms.t-mobile.de/servlets/mms. The port was different too.
I don't know which apn list the devs are using but the apn, at least for mms with t-mobile d, are just wrong.
Correcting them solves the issue and mms can be sent and received.

Looked on orange website to compare the settings. All correct. But since the minor update 2.0.1 i havent tried mms as yet, but hopefully its fixed.
Not sure if there's any suggestions anyone has for this problem, but ever since I flashed CR mod's 2.2 rom & since gone back to CM7, my wallpaper sticks, regardless of how many times I completely wipe my phone for a fresh install & my MMS won't download certain picture messages that my wife's cruddy samsung gets just fine.. also the facebook widget won't properly refresh, I'm less worried about this getting fixed, but more concerned w/ this being helpful in diagnosis for someone w/ more knowledge/experience than I.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated... maybe I've overlooked a simple procedure or something..
Thanks!

Hi folks,
Sometimes I can't receive picture messages and I can never send them to my wife's telus phone. They show up as white squares with no text included. Anybody had this or can provide suggestions? I have tried many things so far. Full story below...
Thanks
**************************
I have a Telus T989/ S2X. I have had it for 1.5 yrs and have flashed numerous ROMS since I rooted it about a year ago. Over this time I have had MMS issues on and off.
From early ICS ROMS (darkside) and now to Jelly Bean roms (CM10 nightly, Jedi Jelly, Slim-Star...and more) I have had a strange issue. I can send picture messages to almost everyone and receive from almost everyone. Occasionally I have an issue receiving from friends on the Rogers/ Fido network and it stalls at 'downloading'. I tried unchecking auto-retrieve and it does not fix it. I have also tried multiple radios on multiple roms.
More recently my msgs cannot be viewed when I send them to my wife's phone ( I know, a blessing sometimes right?). She is on the same network (Telus) and has no problem sending/ receiving from anyone. When I send to her it shows as a white/ blank square and none of the text I typed shows up. Regular text are no problem ever.
I called Telus support and they ran me through checking the APN settings and a bunch of other tests sending pics back and forth and no fix. They are going to escalate the problem. I tried the trick of sending yourself a picture via gmail too without any luck. I didn't tell them I was rooted and on 4.1.2....but I have tried tons of diff roms and done a bunch of searching on the forums and google.
Just today I tried the Koodo 4.0.4 rooted ROM with no luck. Then I got pissed off and backed everything up and rolled back to the Telus 2.3.5 Gingerbread ROM. Guess what? MMS worked just fine!!?? I double checked the APN settings and they were identical.
So....has anyone else had this issue? I don't want to be stuck on Gingerbread just to use MMS. Could it be that the newer versions of the MMS/ SMS have issues? I noticed that when I went back to 2.3.5 it said "converting to MMS" when I attached a pic. I never see that in any other ROM.
Any suggestions or solutions that people have come across? I am slightly frustrated....especially since my wife's Nexus S has no problems and my S2X is way better but failing.
Thanks for your time and thoughts folks!

maybe u were send pics that were larger than the network supports. Hypothetically telus may only support 5meg attachments while Rogers/Fido does 10 ( I think this is actually the case but I'm not 100% sure). Use a third party app like hand cent or gosms that supports MMS compression and see how u fair

It seems like some are getting through with Handcent. So the stock app in CM10 is not working then? I should try different size files maybe to see if that is a factor like you said.
