I have a telus 989 that is unlocked I use with a different carrier. I have to delete the Telus apn to send mms. you couldn't delete it manually so I used to use APN Backup and Restprehttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.APNBackupRestore. now that i have ics that app does not work anymore.

I came here looking for the apn answer for mms to work on Simple Mobile? Why are these answers so difficult to come by? Hmm.... Off to call customer support and I will be right back.

Have you tried adding your network's APN settings? Do a google search for your carrier's APN settings then add them under settings - wireless and netwrok - mobile networks - access point names.

AT&T and Rogers versions are both the same the APN simply allows the phone to connect to the Required network. Think of it as setting the network settings (Which it is).
MMS not able to receive .png files (screenshots) from others. Without the sender manually changing file extension, is there a way to either have the screenshot save a different file extension by default or another way around file being deleted upon receipt?
Thanks.
Works just fine for me. What rom are you using and what model phone? There is no stock 4.2.1 like your sig says btw. 4.1.2?

Could be your network. I just sent myself a .png image thru mms using the stock messing app, worked fine.
Galaxy S3, DarthStalker ROM & Kinetic Pulse Kernel.. Perfection.
Check the apn. The R530 was built for Sprints network, not T-Mobile, so it probably has something to do with that

I have a solavei SIM, and have for quite some time, never had any issues. All of a sudden I can't send mms, I've tried all the apn's and even factory reset, all the way up to odin the phone all the way back. I still can't get mms to work. Someone please help. The phone is tmobile s3, locked, never had any issues, not rooted.

If it just happened randomly, then it's probably on the carrier side. Call and see if they made any changes recently that could affect this. Otherwise, I'm just not sure.

I don't I'm puzzled by this. I had someone look into it for me. The only thing they could come up with was my phone is T-Mobile kicked do they can't help me.. yet they're a T-Mobile mvno
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I'm actually wondering if it could be T-Mobile's fault....sorta. with all of their recent changes and network upgrades, couldn't it be possible that some important things are now different, but your carrier has no idea about it as they may not have been informed? Or maybe something like this wasn't expected. It's just a guess of course, but I know the primary apn changed in markets where T-Mobile deployed LTE. Maybe other things changed too?
I know you said you tried the different apn's, but try the file linked below. Rename the current apns-conf.xml with .bak and copy this one over. It's in /system/etc/ I believe. Then reboot and see if it helps. It's all I can think to try right now. But this has only the new T-Mobile apn. All others are removed.

I'm using Solavei just fine make sure you APNS are setup properly and that you save and select the apn to use. Dont just press back. You can download the solavei app to set up your phone if you still cant figure it out.

That kind of sounds like it could be an account problem, just a guess though, but it would make sense. Maybe go to a local store and ask.If you can try one of their SIM cards in your device.

If you're stock, not rooted, there's not a lot you can do. Chances are it's an issue on the carrier side still. Have you tried your SIM in another device? Tried a new, or someone else's SIM?

Well I can still send mms if I use a third party app, without having to use Wi-Fi.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk now Free
Usually a stock sms/mms app sends via the carrier, so it goes over a secure line through their servers....or something similar to that. Hard to explain. 3rd party apps don't care about your carrier and just send over the internet, be you connected via WiFi or mobile data.

Fixed it! Had to modify the solavei apn. Basically mms proxy had to be black, had to change authentication type to none, add the ,supl,mns,admin,hipri whatnot. Basically even though this was suppose to be imei specific, it was incorrect.

You can do it in the programming menu. It's been so long since I've done this for friends, I'd have to research it myself for awhile. On the ROM I'm running I can go to settings>more>mobile settings>access point names.

Hey Noon guy here. Did you ever get the setting/APN you where looking for? If so, could you please help me with my Galaxy Nexus LTE-Sprint. I am having trouble getting OTA to go through. I thinking if I set the APN it may possibly activate over the air.

Try the update.
your lte settings are still wrong you know that right? and some of those carriers dont use sprint network... so your network numeric is also wrong, oh yea and stealing someone elses script and just changing the names is not cool. while we do appreciate you working out the mms addresses for other carriers giving credit where credit is due is a must and there is more to it than that
