[Q] T-Mobile USA MMS... Due to APN settings? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

This is a problem that has plagued me since day 1 when I got my N1, persisted through my Nexus S, and now with my Galaxy Nexus and I have vowed to fix this...
Whenever I receive a MMS message regardless of the sender's carrier, the message comes in and says "Subject: no subject" before the picture is displayed. Small, trivial, issue yes, but I can not for the life of me get rid of it and have tried nearly every possible APN setting from Googling alternate options. I have also tried using replacement messaging apps and all have the same result. My current APN settings are:
APN: epc.tmobile.com
Proxy: Not Set
Port: Not Set
Username: Not Set
Password: Not Set
Server: Not Set
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS Proxy: Not Set
MMS Port: Not Set
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
Authentication type: Not Set
APN type: default,supl,mms
APN Protocol: IPv4
Bearer: Unspecified
Can anyone help?

Will give it a shot. Tested immediately after changing the setting and still received the "Subject: no subject", but I will give it some time to update and report back.

Some time later and still experiencing the "Subject: no subject" message...
Just chatted with T-Mobile online and was told the following:
_Braxton M: That is definitely strange. I believe this may just be something with T-Mobiles services.
Me: How can I go about fixing this?
_Braxton M: This is something that unfortunately cannot be fixed. This is a standard function of T-Mobile devices.
Me: So you're saying that ALL t-mobile devices when receiving MMS messages will display "Subject: no subject" when the sender hasn't specified a subject field?
_Braxton M: Yes, that is correct. I myself experience this daily.

The only thing different between these settings and my settings is that the Username for me was Not Set. I switched it to "None" and still experiencing the same issues.

hmm not sure.. those settings are working for me..
try a reboot after?

I'm experiencing the same issue and while its a small issue, its annoying.
Has anyone been able to figure out how to suppress the Subject: No Subject message during MMS?
Is not everyone experiencing this when a subject is not specified?
iOS has a setting where you can turn it off, I'm surprised Android does not have this functionality or does not just omit the subject when the sender does not set one.

UK APN Settings

Hello folks,
I am unable to get a data connection to T-Mobile on my Desire (Unlocked CPW, possibly pre-release firmware edition) and would really appreciate someone with a T-Mobile supplied & branded Desire posting the APN settings that work for them.
My phone is set up by default as follows (there is a second APN configured for Picture Message, which I am yet to try):
Name: T-Mobile Internet
APN: general.t-mobile.uk
Proxy: <Not set>
Port: <Not set>
Username: <Not set>
Password: <Not set>
Server: <Not set>
MMSC: <Not set>
MMS port: : <Not set>
MMS protocol: WAP 2.0
MCC: 234
MNC: 30
Authentication type: <Not set>
APN type: default
Thanks,
Edd.
You can get internet settings automatically by going to T-Mobile's website then "help and support" tab then "software and settings". Type your mobile number in choose desire then click GO!
Thanks for your helpful suggestion, but I have already been there and it tells me the following:
The number you have entered is invalid. Please re-enter.
Great, huh? That's why I'd like to know exactly what settings are going out on their own versions of the phone.
Edd.
Hi Edd, I have pretty much the same settings
under username and password use the following:
username: user
password: pass
I have user/pass working on mine and had these settings working on a Nokia N97 over the past year with the Web n Walk and Mobile Broadband plus booster.
UPDATE: Sorted now.
I just phoned T-Mobile to give them my PAC code (which arrived an hour ago), and it turned out that either they or CPW had not set up my account. By the end of the call, I had a 3G or H icon and everything working fine.
Thanks for your replies.
Edd.

[Q] No data signal after updating to 2.2

I updated to 2.2 yesterday and since then noticed that I no longer get a data connection. I know of someone else who has the same experience (also on the 3 network with an unbranded phone). Has anyone else experienced this or know of a solution?
Yes I had the same with an unbranded phone on three.
Seems the APN Setting disappeared!
Enter these in:
Name: Three
APN: three.co.uk
MMSC: http://mms.um.three.co.uk:10021/mmsc
MMS Proxy: mms.three.co.uk
MMS Port: 8799
MCC: 234
MNC: 20
Leave everything else blank
Brilliant! Thank for your help... all up and running again.
Cheers mate!
Just noticed mine has done the same.

[Q] MMS Receive Fail From iPhone Users

Hello again XDA,
I seem to be unable to receive MMS messages from iPhone users but experience no issue when other T-989 users (Girlfriend) send me MMS messages. I only mention iPhone users as the only people who have iPhones have tried sending me MMS and they always hang and never download. I can't confirm this happens with any other model phone. Are any of you NexusMOD users experiencing this issue ? Any suggestions would be great.
Thank You,
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium
check your APN settings. But ICS build has some draw back like this since they port from AT&T
shankar10, where can i find APN information? i'm having the same issue as the OP. for me though its AT&T as well as iPhones

AT&T GS3 Force 3G = Signal loss

As the title implies, I have forced 3G mode on my AT&T GS3 in an attempt to save battery life. At this point, I'm just testing to see how much better it is with LTE off. So far, the results have been pretty promising.
I used this APN to do it:
Name: AT&T US
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
Port: 80
Username: <not set>
Password: <not set>
Server: <not set>
MMSC: <not set>
MMS Proxy: <not set>
MMS Port: <not set>
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication type: <not set>
APN type: default,supl,agps,fota,dun
However, I noticed that I now occasionally lose signal in strong signal areas. The signal will just drop off for a bit, then come back. It's similar to how the Nexus GSM model was periodically losing signal. I have installed the "No Signal" app to track the occurrences and they seem pretty regular. I also removed the proxy setting from the above APN and the results are the same.
Trying the HSPA+ APN (below) results in the phone defaulting to LTE anyway. Anyone have another APN I can try, or any insight as to why this is happening? I'm aware that I could just go back to LTE, but I get pretty fast HSPA internet where I live and I'd rather have the battery life.

I do, actually, but thanks for asking anyway.
I appreciate your attempt to get a good force 3G operation working.
After trying your APN, I noticed that it was just staying on H+.
I tried the other link posted in this thread and it seems to work better in my location (New Jersey), although it still switches between H and H+.
Although I appreciate bravomail for posting the link, I don't think the derogatory comment was necessary.

AT&T gs3 Signal Problems

I have searched here and google and tried about everything but I cannot find a solution. I have been having a problem with my at&t gs3 not picking up a signal, it will have bars sometimes with no data, then randomly drop all signal together. Sometimes I can get 4g after initially changing APNs, but it always drops out after a few seconds. I did get it to stay on edge for a little bit, but that also dropped out. This started right after I rooted the phone. I then installed Task's ROM, first the ICS then the JB version, to see if that would help, and it didn’t. I went through several APN settings to see if that was the problem, nothing gave a solution. So I tried returning to complete stock through Odin and that didn’t fix the problem either. I was getting full 4g before I rooted it, so know the problem was caused in the rooting process. I just want to know if there’s anything I can do to fix this, or should I just try and return the phone now that it is back to stock? Here are the APNs I tried, none of which fix my problem (the x in the hxxp are t):

This, can someone help with this?
Edit: the HSPDA one worked for me. It was the last one I tried...

Funny, I'm having the same exact problem also. I came across this thread looking for a stock image to return my phone back to stock to see if that helps.
I'm on Task's latest build. I even reflashed the modem to see if that helped but no luck.
Have you found a solution to this?
