new to the forum - Desire General

Hey guys...so I'm new to all this stuff. I have a htc desire cdma phone that i've had since feb of 2011. My roommate has a hero and first week i had my phone he rooted it. Since then I've lost the ability to send/receive mms's. I still haven't had the chance to upload a rom. Wondering if anyone would care to help me finish doing this...any rom that stands out thats pretty simple to install...only real thing i'm looking for is apps2sd and any way i can get function of sending/receiving mms

APN
I think you just need to manually insert your providers APN. In mobile data settings you can set your APNs which you get from your provider's website. I think you can chose between MMS, data etc. APNs.

I have cellcom (Wisconsin, USA) and couldn't find anything on their website...

Try resetting to the default settings, if that's possible.
May fix it?
Else you may try and flash a rom which have the APNs in it.

Before upgrading a rom....

All, this is a question that I am sure must have been asked before, but I can't construct a search that allows me to find an answer :-(.
I like to update the ROM periodically because I do have some strange behaviors every now and again. As I read Ricky's list of fixes, I see some of my issues being resolved.
However, each time I apply a ROM update, everything not on the SIM card gets wiped out. That's no biggie for me with the data, everything I need there is on a PC somewhere anyway. It's the t-mobile settings that are a pain. I have made a notre of what they all are, but it would be really nice to be able to simply apply those settings. I would think the easiest thing to do would be to back them up somewhere - somewhere that isn't going to get trashed during the ROM upgrade and then reapply them.
The trouble is I can't find a way to back them up and restore, nor to persist them somewhere on the device, so I end up retyping them. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
Thanks
Chris
It would really help us out if you tell us what you are trying to backup, what kind of information, data, so on.
I am needing to back up all the t-mobile connection settings. These settings are accessed under connections and are in gprs, proxy and vpn. They have names like T-Mobile Proxy, T-Mobile Data and T-Zones GPRS.
Thanks in advance

I can't speak about Kavanas ROM but I do know that Ricky's has a program called "connection setup" where you can select your country and carrier and the settings get applied automatically.
kavanas has it also
Thanks. Testing it now

VZW APN settings?

I have looked and could not find a solution, but I cannot find how to access and change APN settings for the VZW Galaxy Nexus. I have checked under mobile and WiFi networks under more, as others have said, but there is no APN option... I ask because MMS has always been a pain for me and others I know who have the GNex, and some have said that APN has something to do with it. Help would be much appreciated thanks.
BTW, I am running the latest version of Xenon HD and others I know are running stock 4.0.4 Idk if that has bearing on how to access APN.
I don't think the Verizon gnex have APN settings since it's a LTE phone. I could be wrong though (since I'm a GSM user myself).
Beamed from my CM10.1 Galaxy Nexus
I have had issues with sending, and especially receiving MMS on my GNex ever since I got the phone and I have read threads and threads of people with similar issues. There seems to be no definitive answer, at least from what I have read. Some say it's because it won't work if wifi is on, others say it's a carrier issue, etc etc. I just want to have MMS working. I don't know why this has to be such a headache.
So from looking at other threads and websites what i gather is because of verizons lte towers you MUST send image via 4g and recive via 4g other wise you wont get the message. I think some roms might fix this you can poke around.

Straight Talk data issues with custom roms using 4g LTE Verizon sim

Greetings everyone!
Signed up so that I can hopefully help someone else in need with their LG G3 phone using the Straight Talk 4G LTE Verizon sim card.
After many hours of flashing roms and trying out various things, it turns out for some reason other variants of the stock roms like Bliss Pop, CoudyG3, and Skydragon will not work with the data. I can still use my phone and make calls and i can still get text messages and even pictures sent through text messages, but for the life of me data would NOT work.
The only rom that did work again was the Jasmine rom. To my understanding it works pretty close to the stock verizon rom that comes with the LG G3. After the flash, BOOM! Everything worked and data came back to life.
I noticed the APN settings is very very different but this rom wont let you go in it to see it's settings. Surely there is a way to import/export the APN data to push on over to another custom rom? Just weird that after putting this specific custom rom data happily worked again.
BTW, if anyone tries to activate a verizon lg g3 with straight talk, be careful. Though their stupid website said that the phone was already registered with another tracfone provider/service, I was still able to get the phone to work. If after entering your MEID/EMI or whatever the numbers are and the straight talk website spits it back out at you, CALL straight talk. I got screwed and used up the network access code which somehow got lost into oblivion, but turns out that they themselves can manually add the Verizion 4G LTE sim card with the network access code card. (I bought the 4g LTE sim card package from wal mart). As long as the phone is in good standing, it will work!
Thanks. Hope this helps someone else out trying to get it to work with straight talk. I will try and see if there is a way to export this APN setting. I was told by straight talk that you don't need an APN set, but i think they are lying.
Peace!
solved
Back again,
Happy to report im using skydragon Rom with straight talk. Turns out you do in fact need to set the apn in the settings. Just add this apn
acct.tf.gw6.vzwentp
This is the apn for the Verizon 4g lte sim card when you use it. I didn't have to reset the phone but now data works great.
Hey question. I have a Straight Talk S3 currently running CM 11 kitkat based rom and things work great but I found other roms I want to install one of them being a Pac-Man custom rom but I have no data. I have a Verizon CDMA 4G LTE sim coming in acouple days just need the apn settings. Could anyone help me out with this? Thanx in advance for any help.
Sent from my SCH-S968C using xda premium
Surely it is the same APN setting as above. Try it out once you get your Sim card. Also, that S3 being a different phone may pick up on the access point names when you try another rom and set itself up, but if data is still not working, then try that APN I posted on the first post.
Also, be careful that you are actually connecting at LTE speeds as long as your area has it. Flashing to another rom I was only connecting at 3G. Turns out that once I tried another rom, you have to set the preferred network to LTE, then give the phone a reset. It took it a moment after reboot, but LTE finally showed up.
Depending on your phone, there are other settings to be set in it's hidden menu settings using the phones dialer. Just google around.
Hope this helps!

Add MMS APN to Lumia Icon... Possible?

The Lumia Icon came unlocked by default from Verizon. With WP8.1 you could install Access Point and it would automatically install the correct Internet and MMS APNs for the SIM that had been inserted.
With the update to W10M there is no longer access to the MMS APN on the Icon, rendering a really nice device only partially functional unless you're a Verizon customer.
Does anyone know if it's possible to "hack" this using tools available on XDA?
Had the same issue.. Enabled the mms field in the registry but couldn't get it working on Bell. Turns out access point actually works again... Still gives the message about being unsupported on this version of Windows when you run it, but leave it open for about 30 seconds or so and alas, it works! Go send an MMS afterward.
Holy ****! you just made my day!
When I try to install via SysApp Pusher I get "This app is not compatible with this device"
How do I go about installing it?
I was personally able to install it from the direct link http://windowsphone.com/s?appId=ce3895c7-01d0-4daf-a4c3-25c10463942d
That is with my phone region set to USA
I also have an unlocked Verizon Lumia Icon that I have been trying to get the MMS APN changed. I have unlocked the registry and was able to turn on the MMS APN field. Unfortunately the settings will not save.
The phone has been updated to W10M (.494). I also installed Access Point with no success.
A little background info. I purchased the Icon because our company has changed to Bluegrass Cellular, a regional CDMA carrier, which has an agreement to use Verizon towers as well as their own. (Verizon is not in our region.) Unfortunately Bluegrass does not offer WP and will not assist me with setting up the phone. My company issued an i-phone 6S. Ugh!!! I inserted the sim into the Icon. Calls and data work. I can receive SMS text. I cannot send SMS or send/receive MMS text.
I posit the following observations/questions.
The sim might possibly be custom programmed for an i-phone?
Would it be possible that an android sim would be compatible with the Icon?
I desperately want to stay with WP!!!
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
I am so desperate I am willing to pay someone to help me get this fixed if it is possible!
I am also will be willing to try any other CDMA windows phones that might work as well.
