My Nexus on AT&T has the wap.cingular APN that was picked up from the SIM card. My data plan is provisioned for 4G smartphones so I added the "phone" APN and am using it for internet.
My question is whenever I send or receive an MMS message, the data connection drops on the phone which I am assuming is because the phone switches to the wap.cingular APN for MMS. As soon as the message has been received, the data connection comes back.
Can I combine the MMS settings like the proxy and such into the "phone" APN so my data connection stays alive during MMS transmissions?
Thanks!
So my answer is yes. You can combine everything - found it just after I posted. Wish you could delete your own threads!

ok heres the deal...
i have a 8525 unlocked and super CID on the t-mobile network..
i am using the HTC offical Release of WM6
i have everything set properly on my phone. i have even gone to the extent of calling t-mobile for support but they said i have all my information correct( modem connection and proxy server) i was wondering if anyone else on the t-mobile network is having the same problem.. any feed back or help is appretiated
P.S. The phone DOSE connect to the GPRS network and shows a connection ticker.... seems to time out when downloading MMS/Web content
mee too
Hey there. I am in the same boat. I have the TyTn which i'm using on Tmobile (US). I walked through withe the Tmobile rep and validated all the settings but my MMS still does not work.
My internet and all does. very wierd. any help appreciated.
Thanks,

Similar problem
I have a Tmobile Wing, and been having this problem for about 4 months now, it works sending mms to other Tmobile customers but not for other carriers. ANy info on this matter would be appreciated.
Thanx, Erros
Hoping I can help All Tmobile Users WIth a TyTn Device Cause I would Shoot Myself if My MMS didn't Work ! lol
I have 2 Working TyTn devices With Working MMS Sending & Recieving.
At this Point I'm Sure From the Fustration lol You have your MMS Settings Memorized lol But Here there are Just in Case....
Server Name : T-Mobile MMS
Gateway : 216.155.165.50 (Tip if you have 216.155.165.050 it Probably will Not Work)
Port Number : 8080
Server Address :http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
If you Have this So Far All is Good. After This point I will get into Details Cause this Next Step Can be Tricky......
Connect Via: This is Where it Gets Tricky. From My experience You can Send or Receieve MMS message Successfully through wap.voicestream.com SO ! if you have Internet2.voicestream.com or Internet3.voicestream.com YOU MOST LIKELY WILL NOT RECIEVE or BE ABLE TO SEND MMS.....So Since all of us on T-Mobile Don't have 3G yet(Shut up Cingular Users I Don't wanna Hear it ! ) And There Really isn't Much of a Speed decrease or Increase from Using the Different Internet Connections I would Leave the Internet connection aLways at Wap.Voicestream.com.
If you feel like the Internet Speed is "Faster" on The others or the Other Internet Connections give you More Connectivity Options, You Need to Setup 2 Different Connections for the Internet. One for MMS and One for Your Regular Internet Browsing. This Is Where The Option "Connect Via" Gets Tricky. If you set up The MMS Using Wap.voiceStream.com as a General Internet COnnection you can Set
Connection Via : The Internet
If you Setup 2 Connections , One for MMS And One for Internet you will Name The MMS Connection What ever you Choose for ex. "Tmobile MMS" And then When Setting up the MMS and "Connection Via" option , you WIll Select what ever you called the MMS connection in the Drop Down Menu.
Sending Size Limitations : Sound be Set at Max Depending on What Version of MMS you are Using it'll be anywhere from 300k up to 600k in the Drop Down Menu
Wap Version : Wap 2.0
Hope This has Helped. If anyone Needs More help, clarification or Pix For Help of Setup I'd be More than Happy to. Tmobile is so UNHELPFUL when they Find out you are Using a "Non-Tmobile" Phone. So I"ll Help out as Much as I can.
Here you go!
Here you kids go... this will fix server settings and enable tmobile customers running on custom cooked roms to receive the full size picture (without installing these files, you may be able to get it to work with the proper server settings, but pictures will be downscaled). Heres the ultimate fix
enjoy!

Just flashed a cingular sx66 with the 1.42 tmobile Uk rom, and got most of it set up.I got the web2go thingy working with internet2.voicestream.com, and tried to set up the mms to work, and it doesn't, and I don't know why.
I can receive the portion of a message that tells me I have an mms from whoever, and to "mark for download", but when it goes to download, it gives me some error about not being able to retrieve the attatchment, and to try again later. Also, if I attempt to send an mms, I get a similar error about not being able to send.
Anyone have any idea why this is happening?
well what carrier are you using?
and if you're using the same EXT rom as the ukrom, thats very likely why. i've never used MMS since superold plan, but i imagine something is funky with the MMS settings.
I use tmobile usa. And, so far as I know, everything else is in proper working order.
What do you do if you want to send/recieve picture messages?
..messages? i just pop out micrsod and upload them to my site lmfao or email them.
butyeah, if you're using UK settings that may be your problem.
I agree with you..... what settings we are talking about, is the question.
try flashing with a US rom, see if it helps.
The only us rom is cingular.... eh. that's what I just flashed off the device.
or a Himalaya extrom would work too methinks.
I may have just bricked the radio.... dunno. I tried to cover that pin like it says in the wiki (universal's battery problem) and put the battery back in... the device wouldn't power on, so i pulled the battery and tape, and now the unit boots and all, but won't find service. at all.
I'm going to look at flashing the newest radio, and see if that will fix it.

The limit in my EnergyROM is currently 300kb but the att limit is 600kb. I know there is a fix, but I can't find it, no matter how much I search.
Could some one link me to it please?
Thanks!

From the Energy ROM FAQ. Does this answer your question? It should say Sending MMS with AT&T, I'm not sure why he put SMS.

Sending SMS with AT&T: Run the Carrier Provisioning at Start > Tools, select ATT 2. The download and install this CAB http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...4&d=1271445465 to adjust the maximum size to 600k.

PS: I have never had to install the cab that he mentions and it changes to 600kb automatically. That may be for an older version and they forgot to update the FAQ, not quite sure but I do not believe that part is necessary, just run the carrier provisioning.
mms fix at&t
Please post to links for users to try thanks.
For those who can't receive at&t mms:
I used the PR MMS MediaNet settings tool available on XDA
Go to Settings>Connections>Connections
Delete all data connections before running the tool
Use the device Network Setup Tool to make your primary connection.
Run the PR MediaNet MMS tool to set the size limites
After setting up the connection create a new connection in com manager
Use Work Connection
Use these settings
Connection Cellular GRPS 3G
Name I used MediaNet No Proxy
APN wap.cingular
Username [email protected]
Passwork CINGULAR1
Do not use the proxy settings for this
Have all internet applications go to this connection do that in your com manager
Go into your mms options in messaging click servers click at&t mms make sure MediaNet is still the connection for send/receive mms
now it will send receive mms using the at&t proxy and the internet for other apps without the proxy
how about sending bigger then 600?
Hey I just got an unlocked tmobile lg g2 and am usuing it on wind. I have input the apn settings for data and mms, but i can only select one apn setting, when i have it on data, the data works but mms does not, when i have it in mms the data does not work. Is there anyway i can select both apn settings so they can work together? It only allows me to sellect one apn setting at a time
I have an unlock VS986VK that I gave to my son to to use on his ATT account. They activated the phone and he can make and receive phone calls and MMS but gets NO mobile data. Beside the signal indicator there is an H... but anything that requires data says there is no data connection. I've Googled for about 3 hours or so and tried various APN's and I've also tried switching networks types and subtypes a few times with no success. Is there something I'm missing? Its my understanding that this particular phone will not be able to use ATT LTE 4G because of different bands being used... but he should be able to get some kind of data right?
APN's are a complete B****! I have VS982 and Straight Talk with Verizon, and even after a fresh factory reset AND stock firmware flash my phone wouldnt get data. Even with the APN typed in correct. I had to root my phone, and use a backup of my APN settings from my LG G2 with the app "APN BACKUP and RESTORE". Luckilly I had it backed up. It shows when I backup or restore that there are actually 33 APNs being moved. (For my phone atleast) and if I clear all APN's and just add the main one, it still wont work.
Anyhow, have you tried this one?
