Ok so I have been able to send and receive MMS fine for several weeks with Rogers and my HTC S621 with the new wm6 rom on it.
Worked for awhile with the tmobile rom and then stopped working before i changed rom.
So anyways whats happening now is I can send FINE but I cannot receive.
Finally got someone at rogers who seemed to know what they were talking about and they said that if I have my sim in another phone like a nokia that is supposed to send and receive then if their system updates and shows me with that and I put my sim back in my HTC then I can receive but if the system updates again showing me with a HTC S621 it will no longer accept the incoming.
There is nothing they can do to fix it... they said they were planning to release a rom with a fix for it but I dont want to wait for that so does anyone know a way around this?? is there a registry fix or something to allow me to keep getting them??
Thanks
Not only that,
Sorry to thread crap, but i was wondiering if any body had a how to on setting up on the NEW WM6 internet settings for rogers. I c ant seem to get it to wokr.
REgarding this MMS stuff, i was having similar issue where i could send MMS but not receive. I then realized that my friend had the same issue as well. I checked my online album and all the pictures were going there. I don't even receive notifications of my MMS messages being received by the other person. I worked with rogers tech support for nearly 2 hour2 with 4 different phones (rogers does not support MMS on HTC s621 or any other phone running windows mobile because they dont have an agreement with microsoft apparently). I could not even get my rogers razer to work, same issues. They kept telling me my account was fine. She then recommended i try a new sim card, which i did with no luck. I have yet to call back and let them know that im still having problems. Has anyone been experienceing similar issues?

I have the exact same issue. I can send but not receive. What do you have for your MMS settings?
Sorry, Rogers does not support MMS messages being received on the Excalibur.
The software they use does not have a profile for the device, so they make you log in to their website to view mms messages.
pain in the butt? YES.

On my Treo 750m I'm able too send and receive.
Here are The working settings for the htc s621
in connections create 2 profiles one called Rogers Internet with access point internet.com. the user name wapuser1 and password wap, leave everything else blank. Create another Rogers Media that connects to work, access point put media.com. The user name is media and password is mda01. Authentication as none and leave everything else blank. Then go to messages choose MMS and then 4Account settings, put a check on all except reject all messages and allow read report, number of attempts 4 and resolution original. Then press the menu and go to MMSC settings, create new profile. Name is Rogers MMS, MMSC url is http://mms.gprs.rogers.com, the wap gateway is10.128.1.69 with port:80. Connects via WORK and max setting 300k and WAP 2.0 press menu again and make Rogers MMs as the default and erase the other profile if there was one. Your all done but make sure also if you press from the main Start then settings then GPRS Authentication that its on PAP authentication
Tried that... doesn't work.
The MMS profile wont stay on "Work" for connects to...
MMS Probs after HTC Rom update?
since i upgraded to the htc rom yesterday, i noticed that my mms when receiving a pic, i get a "error synchronizing" when i try to hit menu and download message.. hopefully this has not been talked about already. HELP!!! I am on the t-mobile network..
I too am getting the same error message since flashing my dash to WM6 htc ROM...I still think the Robust Rom outweights the sms problem...however in a perfect world, we can have both...anyone else with the problem???
I meant to write those settings down before upgrading -- someone with a standard Dash might be able to post them. As with the wap.voicestream.com setup to get internet going, I believe there is additional configuration to be done before MMS will work right...?

I hate to do some cross-forum posting stuff, but PocketPC Addict has the settings for T-Mobile (a little Google goes a long way!). I learned that MMS and GPRS settings are not often sent by the carrier when I jammed my AT&T SIM card in there.
I find it funny that AT&T keeps all their settings for all their devices, yet T-Mobile doesn't, especially considering that T-Mobile is far more liberal when it comes to customer support (allowing people to bring their unlocked phones with them, unlocking phones after only three months of service, not charging extra for teathering, relatively cheap Internet rates, etc.)
thanks for the info, couldnt really find anything on that particular site, but i bookmarked anyways! looks like another great forum to relate too!! anyway who ever else still have a prob.. with mms (tmobile dash) since the htc upgrade, myself too found a site by googling it.. and here is the link.. it worked for me! good luck

MMS/SMS settings for cingular on unlocked/unbranded dash
I just got finished flashing my dash to the generic HTC ROM and I'm trying to find the procedure for putting the settings in for cingular. I tried following some that I found that aid to go to:
Start > Messaging > MMS > Menu/Settings > Menu/MMSC Settings
But the fields don't match up with the settings that the Cingular/AT&T site provides. For instance, there's no username/password settings on the dash in this location.
Anyone have a working set of instructions/settings for the new AT&T/Cingular?
I do NOT have a data plan, nor do I want to use MediaNET, etc. I just want to use WiFi and MMS. (WiFi works fine.)
*sigh* I spent 2 hours looking and looking.. then, imediately after posting this, I find it. Well, at least this may help the next poor soul looking for it.
This is for another device, but the instructions are exactly the same.
For pretty screenshots go to:
https://www.wireless.att.com/support/deviceConfig.do?content=KB69475.html
1. From the home screen, press Start and select Messaging.
2. Scroll to and select MMS.
3. Select Menu.
4. Scroll to and select Options.
5. Scroll to and select Account Options. (mine said 'Account Settings')
6. Scroll to and select MMS.
7. Select Menu.
8. Scroll to and select MMSC Settings.
9. With "Cingular MMS" highlighted, select Edit.
10. Validate the following: (Edit existing or Add)
* Name: Cingular MMS
* MMSC URL: http://mmsc.cingular.com
* WAP Gateway: wireless.cingular.com
* Port: 80
* Connect Via: The Internet
* Max. Sending Size: 300K
* WAP Version: WAP 2.0
11. Select Done.
finally! mms settings just copy from blackjack ATT
find the mms settings for your dash/att at att website. go to support select the BLACKJACK and copy the settings. lol SO funny i was looking and looking and looking everyone had a different flavor. but when i tried this setting it worked instantly. GO right to good old AT&T/support/blackjack/mms settings.
MDA MAIL (T-Mobile DASH) (HTC S620) - Internet Gprs, MMS Settings and WIFI Problem
Guys,
I have been reading all of the threads on this forum and i am glad that you are solving almost all the problems that ppl occurred while using the dash.
I have the T-mobile MDA Mail europe and i love the phone but there is no wifi. In order to get the wifi i installed new ROM (thanks to this forum) and now I have the newest ROM but i still dont have wifi. I asked the chief of T-mobile service in my country how can i solve this and he said the actually T-mobile Europe is ordering this phone in HTC without the WIFI antenna. I was amazed and dissapointed. They are sooooo ****ing gay coz they want us to use their gprs as only internet access.
However, After the installation of the official HTC WM6 ROM (i hated the t-mobile rom), I cant use even the GPRS. Can set the settings by myself. Can you please help me? There are no hints on the official t-mobile site.
Thanks in advance
I can't seem to find a fix for my MMS. I went from Sprint to Page Plus with my Epic Touch 4g. Everything works fine, web, apps, youtube, etc. However I cannot send or receive pic messages or long texts. I have tried manually inputting the verizon APN settings but they won't take and I am still not able to figure it out. Is there any package I can install to just take care of this crap? Every time I manually change it within a ffew hours I get an error message and my settings switch back to Sprint settings. I ask about a package because I saw that in one of the settings in the ##data# menu there is a APN selection and in there it has Sprint as the one and only option. I'm curious if I can install Verizon settings and remove sprint or at least have the option to switch in that menu. I also tried installing go sms and that also did not work. Please help, it is annoying having to email pictures back and forth in order to send pics and big messages.

How does one do this? Can you give me a walk-through? I'm relatively new to this stuff..
I just wanted to share some info in case there were others who could be negatively impacted by an issue I found.
First, this only applies to people who are using Google Hangouts.
Here it is. I am running a Lollipop on my GS3 (t999l), and I have the latest Hangouts installed. I was aware that Hangouts/GV had missing sms issues here and there over the years. After various troubleshooting in the past, I was under the impression that it was not missing sms anymore. Well, I was wrong. My friend sent me a text, but it wasn't received by my hangouts. This apparently happens only once in a while because I'm usually able to text him back and forth just fine. Anyhow, I began yet another troubleshooting/exploration, and I found what I suspect to be the cause.
I went to Hangouts > Settings > SMS > Access point names
Then, I saw a MetroPCS apn "listed and selected" on the top of the list! Below the MetroPCS apn were T-Mobile US (epc.tomobile.com) and T-Mobile GPRS (fast.t-mobile.com) x 2 (there are two T-Mobile GPRS listed with the identical settings).I have no idea why MetroPCS apn was there, and why it was selected, but apparently that's what it gets selected by default (I used Hangouts' restore default setting feature, and it chose it). I have never ever used MetroPCS, so this is puzzling. In any case, I deleted the MetroPCS apn from the list as well as one of the duplicate T-Mobile GPRS just in case. I then selected the remaining T-Mobile GPRS (fast.t-mobile.com) as the access point.
I think this has resolved the issue (fingers crossed). So, if you use Hangouts too, I highly recommend that you check the above setting to see if there's a weird setting like the one I found. I hope this may be helpful to some people here. If you do find the same/similar issue, please do report back in this thread to share your result.

Is anyone else having issues with MMS not sending or receiving on T-Mobile? I noticed that the APN isn't editable on this phone.
If I switch to airplane mode and back, it will send or receive the stalled message, but will stop working after that.
Any ideas?

Yes I have issues sometimes while on wifi. I don't use wifi calling
Which text app are you using? Maybe a different one would work.

Make up an APN name with just the name and apn filled in with something random. Save that APN. Next go back and edit that APN with the one you need and select it. That's how I fixed my APN.

Thanks I'll give that a try.
It's odd because it was fine ob my OG Pixel XL. I had this issue with the 6P and it was later fixed with an update.
It could just be carrier issues in my area too I guess...
Mine works fine.
You should try Textra. The king of all texting apps
On OG Pixel now. Was really confused when I got it last month. I'm used to making one default APN, but Pixel on Oreo had 5. Is 2 the same? All of my attempts at using advertised Tmob APN broke something. I actually think all 5 APN are needed for VOLTE, WiFi Calling, Messaging over WiFi (IMS), and international roaming. Try the three dots and reset to default.
Also under dialer settings *#*#4636#*#*, phone info, 3 dots, IMS Service Status.....you can check status.
If I deleted those weird APN's it would break IMS.

Please provide me the details of all the APN fields for the T-Mobile APN I should be using on a Pixel 2 XL. I'm also having issues sending MMS messages and I'd like to verify the APN fields with somebody here who has theirs working. Please let me know, thanks.

Did you ever figure out a solution to this? It seems like (from what I read on reddit) that Google Messenger does not like the fact that T-Mobile uses multiple APN settings.
I found if I created a new APN entry with these settings, http://www.4gtricks.com/2017/10/t-mobile-apn-settings-google-pixel-2-XL.html?m=1, that solved the MMS issue. But every time the phone is restarted or the radio toggled with airplane mode, the phone sets itself back to the default APN setting that cannot be edited. That's incredibly annoying.
I then found (from this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/77c1dj/android_tethering_and_apn_carrier_config/) that if I set the MVNO type in the APN I created to "GID" that the default T-Mobile settings disappeared and only my custom APN was there, so I didn't have it resetting with every restart.
But I'm worried based on what others said here that this may break VOLTE or wifi calling or cause issues with roaming on T-Mobile (if it thinks I'm an MVNO customers). So I'd rather just be able to edit the default APN. Even with root, I can't seem to find any posts about how to do this.
[Edit, I seem to have found a solution (working so far), which I explain here: https://productforums.google.com/d/msg/phone-by-google/RNDSr05hUQ4/GPbYF3GYAgAJ.]

Thanks for this. Yes, I'm still having problems. I was in a week long conversation with T-Mobile about it and they couldn't figure it out either. At one point they suggested a signal booster (???) The odd part is that it only happens when I'm at work. It works fine everywhere else. The bad part is I get most of my MMS when I'm working...
The only theory I have is that at work we have a series of access points around campus with the same SSID instead of a mesh network. Maybe MMS gets screwed up somehow when jumping across access points.
I will give your suggestion a try and see if it helps.
I found that my mms didn't work because of my router. I have a netduma router and mms doesn't work when I have turbo mode turned on. I have no idea what turbo mode changes about the network but whatever it does, it screws with mms somehow. Maybe your work network does something similar to netduma's turbo mode.

In the Google Product Forums link I provide there are some other people saying that connecting to certain wifi access points seemed to interfere with their ability to send/recieve MMS. At least one person said it affected MMS even after they disconnected from that access point. And I think some people in that thread, if you read through it, found some solutions. For me, as I explain, also in that thread, my problem did not have to do with wifi and I resolved it by making some changes to my APN settings.
MMS Fix
I have come up with a simple fix! I am fortunate to have access to two Pixel 2s (one XL and one not) and will try this with my wife's (UPDATE: IT WORKS!), but here's the story:
Situation
My wife and I work for the same company and she mainly uses MMS and I don't, but it is happening to both of us after upgrading to Pixel 2s. She has the Pixel 2 and I have the XL. I have done a test where I added my Google Voice number and my wife's number in a group message and tested all sorts of combination of things. Our phone's MMS works on the house Wi-Fi and the mobile network, but not on our work Wi-Fi. I have reset network settings and APN settings back to default, no change. Looking at the APN settings, I realized the two T-Mobile MMS listings have the APN listed as "TMUS," whereas the default APN is listed as "fast.t-mobile.com." Since "TMUS" is not a valid domain name, I changed the first T-Mobile MMS APN to fast.t-mobile.com and MMS started working on Wi-Fi. I reset my APN settings back to default and it stopped working on my work's Wi-Fi again. I thought that I should leave the default APNs alone, just in case and decided to create a third T-Mobile MMS APN with fast.t-mobile.com as the APN. This third T-Mobile MMS APN somehow allows MMSs to work on the company's Wi-Fi.
Fix
Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Mobile network > Access Point Names.
Tap on the 3 dot menu at the upper-right and select "Reset to default."
Create a new APN with the following settings:
Name: T-Mobile MMS
APN: fast.t-mobile.com
Proxy, Port, Username, Password, and Server: Not Set
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc (When typing this in, make sure auto correct doesn't change anything since URLs are case sensitive!)
MMS Proxy and MMS Port: Not Set
MCC: 310 (Should already be set)
MNC: 260 (Should already be set)
APN Type: mms
APN Protocol: IPv6
APN Roaming Protocol: IPv4
Bearer: Unspecified
MVNO Type: None
MVNO Value: Not Set
Tap on the 3 dot menu and select "Save."
Reboot your phone for good measure (may not be necessary) and open Android Messages.
Send a MMS or group MMS on and off the Wi-Fi network you are having issues on to see if it sends. If you have several queued up messages that haven't sent, you may need to tap to resend them and they may become out of order on the recipient's end.
Conclusions
The main thing to note about this is that it is the same as the other T-Mobile MMS APN, but has TMUS replaced with fast.t-mobile.com. If you look at the actual default fast.t-mobile.com APN, you'll notice that "mms" isn't listed among the others in APN Type. I feel, if I could edit that default fast.t-mobile.com APN, the problem would be fixed by adding ",mms" at the end. I assume one could duplicate everything in the default one and add it that way, but I wanted to provide the simplest, non-invasive fix possible that would not result in any future problems. When the phone/Google Messages consults the APNs, I assume it goes through each one to attempt to find one with MMS in the APN type and then attempts to contact the APN via its domain name, but fails since TMUS is not valid. I am not sure why it doesn't go ahead, verifies a working data connection, and then sends the MMS using http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc as it seems to do fine on other Wi-Fi networks. I do not know what makes my company's Wi-Fi different aside from it using EAP authentication and the fact that this problem didn't occur on my wife's previous phone (T-Mo Galaxy S7). I had the 2016 Pixel for a while, but I use Google Voice and would not normally notice the MMS issues. I need to implement this on my wife's phone and if I do not update this post, you should assume it worked (I may just forget to come back).
UPDATE: It works! I followed my own instructions and it works on my wife's Pixel 2 too!
If anyone has a good theory as to wth is going on, please contribute!

I am not sure why it doesn't go ahead, verifies a working data connection, and then sends the MMS using http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc as it seems to do fine on other Wi-Fi networks. I do not know what makes my company's Wi-Fi different aside from it using EAP authentication and the fact that this problem didn't occur on my wife's previous phone (T-Mo Galaxy S7). I had the 2016 Pixel for a while, but I use Google Voice and would not normally notice the MMS issues. I need to implement this on my wife's phone and if I do not update this post, you should assume it worked (I may just forget to come back).
If anyone has a good theory as to wth is going on, please contribute!

Thanks!
That did the trick for me using Textra. I had been using the setting on there to turn off WiFi when I sent or received MMS, but I don't have to do that anymore.
I had the same problem, a simple reset the default apn and restart the phone worked, no need to add anything.

Great! As I mentioned, I had done the same to both phones (actually, even got a different SIM for her phone). Something about being connected to our work's Wi-Fi caused the phones to throw their hands up in the air and refuse to work when no MMS APN with a FQDN was present.
I keep getting notifications of MMS failures... when trying to retrieve and trying to send. When this occurs, I check the APN listing and notice instead of just one APN, my carrier's APN has been automatically duplicated and sometimes triplicated but with missing info in the new APNs such as maybe the MMS proxy or the port will be missing from these new automatically added APN entries - and also the phone has automatically changed to one of the new "bad" APNs. I delete the "bad" APNs, leaving the "good" one and everything works. Few hours later, it does it again. And sometimes it won't do it again at all until I reboot the phone. I just had to go through the process of deleting two new "bad" automatic APN additions because an MMS I was trying to send failed. Checked the APN list and sure enough, the phone had triplicated my carrier's APN and changed itself to use one of those. Deleted both of them and MMS working again. This is really getting annoying. I'm on Cricket Wireless (owned by AT&T using AT&T towers). I just did the Network Settings Reset and when I did that, once it reset everything, sure enough there were two APNs listed for my same carrier and one of them was missing the MMS proxy address. I selected the "good" one and sent a test MMS and it failed. I went back into the APN list and deleted the "bad" one, retried the MMS and it worked.
I'm also not receiving mms but I am on Sprint. How did you access the apn list?
I'm seeing the exact same behavior on my mother-in-law's new Pixel 2 on Cricket. My wife and I both have Pixel 2 XLs on Cricket. I see the duplcation/triplication on our phones as well, but so long as the correct APN is selected, MMS messages send. On the Pixel 2, I also have to delete the "bad" APNs that are missing the MMS proxy and port in order to get MMS to work.
Are these APNs pulled from the SIM or does the SIM connect to Cricket and then download APN information? I'd just like to know if this is a Google problem or a Cricket problem.
Definitely seems to be an issue with Cricket. I've since left Cricket and went to Google's ProjectFi. No problems now and using the Pixel 2 XL's eSIM. I posted about the issue on Google's Help Forums and see there's others having the same issue, all with Cricket. Could be Cricket's SIM cards, could be the Pixel not reading them correctly.

I kind of figured the post on the Google forums was you as well. Unfortunately, Project Fi service doesn't work well enough where I live to be an alternative. Sprint and T-Mobile are pretty much worthless here. I've opened an escalated case with Cricket. I was told I'd hear something back in 3-5 days. I'll let both forums know what I hear back. Glad I'm not alone on this one.

Me too on cricket. I don't think that the APN's are coming from the SIM directly, because I'm using the same SIM I used on my 6P, and it updated to the proper APN over the network when the SIM was inserted into it.
I'm guessing we could go into a Cricket store and get a new SIM if needed? Carrier should definitely have to fix this one. But like you, once fixed mine stays good...

After more experimenting, I have found that this does in fact affect both of the Pixel 2 XLs as well. I don't notice it on my phone because I use Google Voice for my texting which doesn't depend on the carrier's APN settings. Basically, if more than one APN exists and one of them is missing MMS settings such as the MMS proxy and MMS port, MMS does not work. This is true regardless of which APN is chosen as the active APN. If the "good" APN is chosen, but the "bad" APN still exists on the phone, MMS does not work. My phones will hold their settings until they reboot the next time at which point they will redownload the duplicate and bad APN data which will break MMS again.
Samething here but now with 8.1. I have to delete the 2 automated APN's and add a manual one. The manual one is the same info as one of the ones I deleted. After I reboot the APN is set on my manual one but it added the 2 other ones and then I can't send any pictures until I delete the 2 automated ones...WTF!!!!! Things I've done, flashed September, November and December images multiple times, tried different kernels, rooted/unrooted, both unlocks and re-locked, deleted and edited the 3 APN.xml files in system/etc, edited the the file in framework/res but it gave me errors when pushing back to the phone. The sim works fine in nexus 6 and 6p. If this is crickets problem it will never get fixed. So looking at Plan B. Stop the phone from adding APN's. If anyone has any info on how to stop the adding of APN's. You will save my sanity lol.
