ever since i rooted the device i have not been able to receive sms photos. i have flashed like 2 roms and still nothing. currently i am using simmons 3.5 rom and i am on the metro pcs network... someone please help
Its mms. Not sms sorry
Sent from my BNTV250 using Tapatalk
its because your apn is not configured correctly buddy. ask your carrier for full apn connection details for your device
Will they give me this information? What if they ask why I need this... I just don't want my warrenty to be voided..
Sent from my BNTV250 using Tapatalk
They cannot void your warrenty for this buddy, its pretty standard stuff, and you need it to fully enjoy their service ^^ they shouldn't be able to refuse you. If your worried just go in, say you had to factory reset your device and need the apn information to get mms messages fully working

As far as warranty goes from what I understand you have already voided that when you rooted the device especially if you unlocked bootloader with HTC Dev.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S A510e using Tapatalk
It has nothing to do with warranty. At all. Your apn is your access point name. It allows your device to connect to your carriers network and access the internet. The mms feature runs through the internet and sometimes will not work when it is not Configured properly. Even if it is not configured properly the internet may still work. Your apn is a vital part of the service your carrier provides and they cannot refuse a request for it. If the do tell them you will switch carrier. Now, when they give you the access point name. Go into settings/network/apn and then select new apn. Fill in the information just like a form. Exactly as they have it. Save it. Now select it as your apn and then check your mms again, and your internet for good measure. And tbh, you may be able to find your apn online, they can be model specific but not Device specific. Ie if you have a friend with the apn working on your phone, with your carrier. Then simply copy theirs. But Warrenty is NOT AN ISSUE at all.

No vpn and apn are different. If you open your settings and go to wireless and network , look inside here and see if you can find the apn. What carrier are you with? And what country? I will try see what I can find for you. And I cannot see any harm in this update. At worst it may muck up your internet. Do a nandroid first, then test and see pal.

There is nothing under settings wireless networks except lan and VPN settings. I am in the USA Florida. And I use metropcs. The only thing that alerts me is that when they tell me to type the code nothing pops up. I see nothing for apn. Anywhere. When I look in the notifications / status bar there is a up and down arrow nd when I click on that. It drops down and says apn but nothing is in it. My girls best friend has the same phone but don't know when we can meet up with her....

In with one issue and out with the other eh? Typical lol. Well Facebook not working is probably a apn issue. And if you were to reflash the rom it would remove the work that your carrier did to get your mms working. Is Facebook the only internet using app you have that is playing up? And are you sure your internet is working fully.?
Also, just join drop box by clicking this link https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTU3ODI5NTUyOQ then upload the pics to your public folder, right click them and get the public link. Then paste it here. This will be much more use to you in the long run

Firt of all check if your network APN setting is correct. If your unsure about it just go to your network website and copy that to your phone. Secondly if you have data plan part of your package enable data under mobile network settings. Good luck

Ahh ok. Didnt think of that
My parents need to need to lock up my phone so I have no Internet access, not even wifi. Is there an app that anyone can develop or if there is one already that cannot have data cleared or force stopped? Please tell me as soon as possible.
Let me explin it better again sorry to bump this.. I need somthing that can lock wifi and i have no root but like lock it so no internet access at all and need a pasword to lock it.. But maybe also a phone watcher that monitors? But not text monitor.

No it doesn't. Wifi is internal on the Android System. And I have no root and I won't root it because of warranty. :/ So that means I can't use a rom with a wifi bug !! :/
Yeah app locker I saw but my dad said no wifi :/
What don't they just put a new password on the WiFi and disable your internet?
Yea too bad you can't root. But the only warranty it voids is HTC's, so it doesn't really matter since if something happens, it goes through your insurance usually.
Rooting= get stock Rom, remove all WiFi modules and files from kernel and Rom, problem solved.

Maybe I am thinking to technical. But you should be able to set your home modem with a MAC filter so that you are blocked on WiFi. I would suggest an ip filter but that normally comes with ups and downs as your phone will look for a new ip later. If you can get your folks to just set up a MAC filter then they can shut down the internet at certain times when you are not allowed to have it and it will function when you are allowed. I do this with my son, all his devices even his xbox get no internet access after 9:30. Every new device he brings home I lock it down. But thats just me.

Just get the app locker and have your parents set their own password, and turn off WiFi and mobile data. Only bad thing is is that you'll be locked out of the entire settings menu. Also, I understand how you feel, I'm 14 years old. Lol. Good luck!

One would assume if he can't have wifi at home then he probably can't have it anywhere else? So locking the Mac would only work at home, kinda defeats the purpose?

I ported my phone to straight talk from sprint and my data is working but the speeds are very slow. Straight talk told me to manually enter APN settings they provided me but it's not where it is supposed to be under the mobile networks settings. LG support told me it should be there and if it's not that Sprint has removed, hidden or disabled it. Does anyone know how to access APN settings on this phone?

I'm not sure because Ive never had to do it on this phone. I know Sprint has removed/hidden/disabled it. Certain 3rd party messaging apps will allow you to change the apn settings but I dont think it's system wide. I'm not by my phone currently so I cant test this right now but we do have a hidden menu. From your phone dial 3845#*970# to access the hidden menu.
If apn settings aren't in there you could always try a different rom. You would have to be rooted and unlocked with a custom recovery but most of them will allow you to change the apn settings. If you go that route, head over to the original development section for our phone and read the root guide by engine95 found there VERY CAREFULLY. Sorry if this isn't much help but like I said, Ive never had to do this because I'm still on Sprint Stock.
I tried some apps but they don't work on android 4+ they say and I've tried some secret menus with no success. Can't remember if I tried that one or not. Ill check real quick. I am rooted but I've been hesitant to switch Rome since stock works so well but I may have to look into it. Can anyone recommend a hassle free rom?

Yeah I was worried it wouldnt be in there. Most roms have some slight issues, I prefer stock myself and have been modifying it manually. Cyanogenmod 10.2 is probably your best bet though. It's based on Android 4.3, CM 11 is 4.4 based and mostly smooth but still not labeled as stable.
EDIT: Just make sure you make a full backup of what you have now in TWRP. I'd use TWRP 2.5.0.0 btw. Backup all partitions so if something goes wrong you can restore it back. And follow the install directions for CM precisely. Good luck!
try thisOffline SIM APN Database Otherwise consider using a custom rom or even a stock variant.
I'm not sure that database will help me since Sprint is cdma, but also I already have the correct apn settings from straight talk. My phone just doesn't doesn't have the option to input them thanks to Sprint. Cell providers really need to stop locking people in at this point. If your services were good and your price was competitive then people would stay with you, without the gimmicks. Sorry to rant I'm just really sick of all the cat and mouse games of unlocking a phone. I think I probably will just use a custom rom since my phone won't have anymore limitations after that, but that is still more work than I wanted to do just to change apn settings. Thanks for the feedback guys!

I have heard of other apps not having much luck with changing apn settings for us. Even tho I dont currently need it, thanks for the heads up!
It didn't change it for me. It said ICS or later prevents it but it did allow me to open the menu which was good enough for me. Still having a problem where after a reboot it keeps creating the sprint apn after I delete it but I figure that's baked into this stock rom somehow. Prob still be switching roms but I will play with it some more. It also keeps trying to reactivate on sprint but I was glad to at least see the menu. If it were not for some clever sprint engineers that app would have worked perfectly.
