Have an unlocked HD7 running on Att..no mms

i talked to ATT..no help there so i found an APN online and i can use the internet etc.
but my phone will not send or recieve MMS messages
the only info i can enter on the APN is APN, username, and password
there are no editing proxy etc...
can anybody help me with this??

Go to the HTC section of the market and download the connection manager/connection wizard/network profile. I'm not sure what its called but you'll know when you see it. Run the app, select att, enjoy.

thanks! seems to be working...
funny cuz when i opened it up it already said ATT...so i just hit the check mark and it works

Tmobile and ATT both require data connections to send MMS. Since Tmobile and ATT 3g are not compatible, it'll send over EDGE.

It's my understanding there is a method of changing the frequencies of the HD7 to be compatible with the AT&T data service. But you have to contact AT&T for the needed info.

I *seriously* doubt that is true.
TMOUS HD7 --> never get 3G on AT&T.

How To VVM on AT&T (confirmed Samsung Focus S and Focus Flash)

Many of you are aware of a thread in the Focus S section of this forum about someone with their Focus S getting VVM to work. However, it wasn't the most helpful thread to replicating it. I have since replicated this on a different device (the Focus Flash), so I wanted to post something here to let more people know.
Thanks to davezaff for the idea.
Here is how I did it on my Focus Flash. You will probably need a way to edit the APNs.
1. Update to 7740
2. Update to 8107
3. Insert sim card into an AT&T Android LTE phone (I used skyrocket)
4. Go to att.com and switch plan to Data Pro 4g LTE plan. I had to call to switch since it wasn't working on the website.
5. Setup VVM on Android LTE phone (don't know if this is necessary, but this is what I did....make sure friend knows the VM password so they can re-add it when they put their sim card back in.
6.Insert sim card back into Windows Phone
7. Call Voicemail
8. Wait for VVM to show up on phone (mine showed up after calling voicemail).
9. If sync error, edit the APN as follows
APN settings (delete the internet_line APN)
Create a new APN
APN Name: pta
Profile Category: internet (always on)
APN: pta
Auth type: None
Username:
Password:
Proxy address: proxy.mobile.att.net
Proxy domain:
Proxy port: 80
I now have working VVM on AT&T with my Samsung Focus Flash. My internet tethering still works (applied the Interop unlock + tethering hack from XDA). I have not tested MMS since I did this, but the MMS APN was untouched.

So they have tied vvm with their stupid data plans, how nice. So I can pay $20 for 300mb + vvm or I can pay $10 for unlimited data and traditional vm... ATT is so dumb.

Moved To WP7 General​
This is not development, its more of a guide. Please post such threads in the WP7 General section​

For the normal person, it is pay $30 for 3GB of data with traditional VM or pay $30 for 3GB with VVM. The only difference is one plan has the word LTE at the end.

how can one even get the 8107 update on the samsung focus s? i tried the old force update method (disconnecting the internet connection) with zune, and that hasn't worked...

Yes, and just download the English only language pack.

i already updated to 8107, but im asking if the vvm works for the titan, i also don't know anyone with an LTE android phone

Does this work if you don't setup VVM on the android device first? I was thinking of just calling AT&T and asking to be switched to the 4G plan.

Get it working without an LTE device
OK, I got this to work on my Lumia 800. Furthermore, I didn't have an LTE device.
What I did have however, is an AT&T store that caters extensively to my place of work (a software company). They are really nice, understand unusual requests, and try everything to help.
I did the following:
1. Upgrade the OS as per the original post.
2. Call the nice AT&T store that I mentioned above. Asked them to put me on an LTE plan. (I was already on an enterprise plan, so I was moved to the same enterprise plan but the LTE version. Cost of my plan remained unchanged).
I explained that I was doing some app development, and planned to be swapping phones from time to time, some of which are LTE phones. (I also have a microsim adapter, so moving between phones that take microsim and regular sim is not an issue for me).
They asked if I'd like VVM provisioning. I said yes.
They told me that they would change my listed phone to a blank IMEI (basically change the IMEI listed on my account to a blank IMEI that's associated with an LTE phone for provisioning purposes). I don't know if this is something all stores would be willing to do.
3. In the APN settings, I changed my APN to pta. I did NONE of the other settings mentioned (proxy, proxy port, and everything else are BLANK).
Now I have Visual Voicemail on my Lumia 800!

Hmm so why is vvm only available to LTE phones/network I want to get this.

I wonder if this blank IMEI is a special IMEI that at&t has to test LTE devices on accounts or something. I wonder if this IMEI would also work on other accounts as well. Hmmm.
I don't suppose that IMEI is something you could share possibly? I mean if its not a real phone, and can work on multiple accounts, it would be very nice to (selectively) share it so that some of us can get VVM.

I agree, since I just called asking for essentially this setup and they deniened any special IMEI.

So i also have an 800 and asked them to provision me for HSPA+ recently, so they switched my data plan to one that was supposed to be able to access it (i have no idea if it really can - that's a whole different can of worms). What did they switch your plan to? If you look online and hit "recent usage", you can see under "Additional Data Purchased Usage" your data lines with the plan code. My code is "HSSMTD4O" Just wanted to see if i could skip the "call att" step.

Thought I would share my experience also..
I was able to get VVM working on my Focus Flash. Luckily I have a friend that works at the ATT store. He just took a Samsung Note scanned the IMEI and added that as my phone. Then he enabled LTE and VVM. I rebooted phone and went in the the phone tile, and VVM prompted me for password. I put in password and all has been good.
The easiest way would probably be to borrow a friends VVM supported phone and put your sim in it, then have them add VVM to your account.
I did not have to add any APN's or make any changes to the phone.

Getting it working without a LTE device and without AT&T in your pocket
So, I decided to try and get VVM setup on my Focus S today, but I have no friends with AT&T and the local store was unwilling to help in the fashion outlined above.
So what to do? Well the main thing you need for this is the IMEI number from an Android LTE phone. So I asked a couple friends that don't live close by, and none of them had a LTE phone.
So I searched the internet for those "Get unlock Codes" websites, specifically for tutorials on LTE phones, and some of them show the IMEI number.
So I went into chat support and told them I needed a LTE plan with visual voicemail, and they asked for the IMEI number, I gave it to them, and then 2 minutes later VVM is now provisioned and working properly.

Yeah so I ended up adding the IMEI of a random Galaxy Note that I do not own. It was dead simple to do it online through tech support chat. After that, just called up voicemail, waiting a second or two, hung up, and then my phone prompted me for my voicemail password and automatically enabled visual voicemail. I realize that AT&T's system does not check for duplicate IMEIs across the network, so you can throw the same IMEI onto any number of phones and AT&T wouldn't know a thing (until they start looking of course).
I did have to change my APN to "pta" to get it to sync properly, but after that it was all smooth sailing.
Now I've got Visual Voicemail on my Titan and Lumia.

I am glad some of you were able to get it to work. The big issue I had before starting this thread was getting the APN settings. After getting VVM enabled, it couldnt connect until I messed with the APN. Glad I was able to help y'all!

Straight Talk - Nokia Lumia 900 APN Data Not Working 100%

Hey all,
I just jumped onto the Straight Talk Windows Mobile bandwagon. Everything went smooth with the number port, texting, calling, and data is working as long as I type out the full address however I can not do any searches in Bing, download apps, ect over the connection. It seems like its almost there but something just isn't quite right. Could someone give me a heads-up as to what I could have wrong or adjust so that I can have the phone operating with data 100%
My APN is currently set as the
att.mvno
port 80
with the straight talk proxy.mvno.tracfone.com
Thanks a bunch!

The solution to getting the windows live portion of the data to work on a straight talk nokia lumia 900 is setting the APN to att.mvno
and NOT putting the proxy or port information. Data will then work fine across the board. Putting proxy and port info will allow you to only browse sites without the use of bing,voice talk, app market ect.
Now to just get mms working...

That's The Issue What I've Heard Is That Nokia Had An App That Will Help You Configure Your Network Connections But It Was Pulled Out The Market, By Who Maybe ATT Or Microsoft Don't Know. I'm On RedPocket Everything Works Fine But MMS, Haven't Tried Tethering As Of Yet.

I figured out using the Network Setup app. It's very weird that there are 3 Network setting apps (2 in settings under Cellular and Network and 1 Network Setup)
I dunno if it is available in the Marketplace but it came with my phone.
In SG.

THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH! This has been driving me crazy for some time. I got it working for a while when using the Nokia app, but then reset my phone, lost the app, and it would no longer work. This suggestion worked perfectly!

Rogers Lumia 900 on Fido - Did your MMS start working?

Anyone have a Rogers Lumia 900 with a Fido Sim Card have their MMS start working?
Not sure if it was me screwing around or they changed the MMS backend on their end by my MMS/Internet Sharing is working with my Fido Sim Card.

Did you reset your phone or remove sim or anything?

No figured it out, did the Update Trick to get Tango, it must have installed the OS in an "unbranded" configuration. I had some Network issues, called Fido and had them do a "Resend to Switch" that's when MMS and Internet Sharing started working. Had someone confirm by doing the same thing with their Rogers Lumia 900.

Did you specifically ask for that by name? What problem did you report? Would love to get mine working. I find mine is slow on data connection sometimes especially compared to focus.

Are you on Fido? Different carriers have a different name for it, I believe all they are doing is reprovisioning the sim. If you are on Fido and did the Tango update trick, you'll get the added benifit of MMS/Internet Sharing working. On a side note, when I first got my Lumia 900, I had put my Fido Sim in the phone and my data was very slow, especially compared to my old Focus. I had them do a "resed to switch" and it fixed my data speeds.
Power off your phone and call them from a lan line. Tell them you're having data problems and the last time you experienced this the customer service rep did a "resend to switch" and ask if they can do it again. if the customer service rep doesn't know what you are talking about hang up and call again. If the customer service rep knows what you are talking about they will tell you to power off your phone (which it already is). After they do the "resend to switch" wait a few minutes and then power your phone on.

is it because Fido is the same network as Rogers ? or does it really have anything to do with the tango update ?
I have a Rogers Lumia working on Bell, even after the tango update, the internet sharing still cannot work. still no way to change APN to get MMS to work also.

Since Fido doesn't carry any WP7 devices at the moment and pre-Tango required APN with MMS/Internet Sharing not working, I could be wrong but, I'm going to guess that it's the Tango update through the update trick. I could be wrong but since you're on Telus, you could try the same thing.
Couple of things to note though, Nokia claims that LTE gets configured from the firmware (pre-OS boot) so don't know if it would work for you or not if you're using an LTE sim. Also, they finally confirmed that the Network Setup app is coming back to the North American marketplaces within a couple of weeks and the new version being released is supposed to work with the Lumia 900.
So you can either try doing the same through Telus or wait for the new version of the Network Setup app to be released.

Hi, I did what you said and data seems better and mms and visual voice mail is working. Have not tried tether yet. Thanks alot for the help!

Internet Sharing (Tethering) - AT&T Branded - Carrier Unlock

A while back, AT&T began offering unlock codes to Lumia 900 owners who either bought the phone outright or had satisfied the requirements of their contract. This has opened the door to using this device on other GSM carriers.
If you are using AT&T as your carrier, or an AT&T MVNO (such as Straight Talk or Net 10), you might want to stop reading. I was a subscriber to Straight Talk and never got Internet Sharing to work on my Lumia. Proceed at your own risk of frustration.
This thread is intended to carefully document my experience getting Internet Sharing to work on my carrier unlocked Lumia 900.
If you wish to enable Internet Sharing:
Call AT&T and ask for an unlock code. If you do not have a competitor SIM, you can produce the Unlock code prompt by dialing ##782# from the dialpad.
Connect your phone to a PC and backup your photos, videos, and music. You'll be doing a Hard Reset soon.
Remove the SIM and replace with a non AT&T SIM, such as T-Mobile.
Perform a Hard (Factory) reset by going to Settings -> About -> More Info -> Reset.
Perform the initial setup tasks using the advanced mode.
Press and hold POWER to turn the phone off. After 30 seconds, turn phone back ON.
After 1-2 minutes of the phone being powered on, be sure you have a data signal; verify this by opening a browser and navigating to a website.
After verifying you have a data signal, attempt to enable Internet Sharing. Go to Settings -> Internet Sharing -> ON. The phone should show the Wait indicator for 5-10 seconds and then present the Wireless AP name, encryption type, and password. You can change these settings.
A word of warning: Do -not- install the Network Setup app. This will break Internet Tethering and lock your phone down tighter than Fort Knox. If for some reason install Network Setup out of curiosity (as I did), and break your tether, just do a hard reset and repeat the steps above (sans the AT&T unlock code entry business.) The Lumia should grab all the network setup data it needs from the inserted SIM at first boot. If you change SIMS, you'll need to do another hard reset; it is speculated that the LUMIA does not update network settings when a new SIM is inserted.

More Information
Interesting development: when the phone is displaying 4G data connectivity, Internet Sharing turns on successfully. When the phone switches to LTE, internet sharing is not possible; the AT&T message is displayed.

It did not work for me. My Lumia 900 RM-823 was already carrier unlocked and upgraged to Windows Phone 7.8. Tried twice after reseting to factory settings and started from scratch.
Anyone else had any luck?? If yes, could you please specify how it was done??

THANK YOU, patrick. Followerd your instructions and "Voila!". Unlocked Lumia 900 AT&T

No luck on my end either. I had upgraded and installed the Nokia Network Setup to access the 4G on Tmobile, but even after a hard reset I am still unable to access internet sharing....
Anyone?

it seem that if when the cellular network is under LTE. the internet sharing wont turn on and that message about call 611 comes up.
but if you network select t-mobile under the cellular setting. the internet sharing works. but only for a moment until the cellular network automatically switches back to the LTE network.
that's what i've notice so far. anyone else?
---------- Post added at 11:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 AM ----------
it seems that as long as it read 4g at the top corner. you can access the internet share menu.
another thing i notice is that if you connect another device to the nokia 900 and the cellular service switch to LTE your device still has internet option.
so it seems the problem here is making sure you are in the 4g network for you to have the internet share menu to work for you.

After getting the unlock code and putting in a t-mobile sum card the tethering would work on the t-mobile network. Interestingly enough it would not work on the at&t network because I was not paying for that and it would tell me to call.
AFTER, I installed the Nokia network app and selected at&t LTE it would tether.

Internet Sharing (Tethering locked to at&t) Lumia 900 Unlocked
I have a Lumia 900 and it is unlocked and works with other SIM cards all over the world. OS is 7.10 and firmware 2175.2307.8862.13100.
I have factory reset the phone to try and get the tethering to work but it will not. I get a message (CONNECTION NOT SHARED_ to enable tethering on this device, go to att.com/mywireless or dail 611). How can i get around this to get the internet sharing to work ?? I got the APN info from my service provider and i can use internet explorer on the phone using the data from the sim.
PLEASE HELP, SO THAT I CAN TETHER THE SIM CONNECTION TO ANOTHER DEVICE.
