a couple of questions:
1. thought i would take a look around in the "edit access point" settings but when i i tried to back out of it i got the the message "the name field cannot be empty" and the prompt "exit / ok". if i select "ok" it keeps me on the screen, if i select "exit" it i'm taken to the previous screen. why am i getting the "name field..." message? did i accidentally make a chance? or is the "name field..." message normal even if no changes are made?
2. thinking that i must have made a change, i t decided to use the "reset to default" apn menu option. well this ended up deleting the "T-Mobile US LTE" apn that was listed before i hit reset - it was listed along with one other apn, "T-Mobile US". but after taking a look at the "T-Mobile US" apn settings, they appear to be identical to the "T-Mobile US LTE" apn settings. so do i need to add back the lte apn? do all t-mobile s4 phones typically have both apn's? and finally, did i mess up the modem i flashed by hitting "reset to default"?
any help would be greatly appreciated.
I believe, you could manually add the APNs back, or you could just reflash whatever rom you were running. Messing about with unknown things is the number one reason it's always a good idea to have a backup handy.
I'm a little confused on what happened, but I would just add in the APN manually. This is the one I always use when putting it in. I don't think you need the non-LTE APN, as the list seems to show only one being used on my phone (I have a Verizon APN on my phone too because of the ROM I'm using). Modem should be fine I think.

ha ha i've become an apn expert in the last couple of days in terms of editing and/or manually adding them thinking that i might have a problem! :laugh: but as it turned out i didn't have an apn problem after all, if you choose "add (+) " apn and then back out you will get the message i mentioned "the name field cannot be empty"... instead of backing out you have to select menu then "discard" which will take you back to the previous screen without an error.
but since you have been kind enough to respond, maybe you can help me with something else, i've started a thread but haven't received a response yet. are you able to send mms messages with wi-fi calling enabled? i'm not, i have to disable it if i want to send mms messages. the reason is wifi calling turns off the data network. i can send texts, but i can't send them to email addresses nor can i attach photos or videos - mms has to be sent over the data network. this is a problem for me because i live in an area with poor coverage, i need the wi-fi calling to make calls, and when i turn it off and try to send mms it's far too slow because of my signal strength. is there a mod, hack or workaround that would allow me to send mms over wi-fi rather than mobile data? what would be great is a web-based mms solution which would handle mms on the web, bypassing my phones limitations. here's my post:

I have been searching around for a solution. Looks like guys on sprint have it working by fixing the APN settings. Does anyone know the settings for Verizon? I tried the server setting that used to work in WinMo before it was working correctly. I don't care if I can't send at this point I would be happy to just receive them. Any help?
I think they figured it out by just planing around with the APN settings... so be a pioneer dude, figure it out and help out other vz guys.
I don't use MMS, so it's never been a concern for me. Besides, don't you have a website that shows you your MMS'? I know Sprint does - even in WinMo, I don't get MMS, I just get an email saying I have a new MMS. Maybe I set it up like that a long time ago, but I don't remember doing it

I tried some settings, but I really have no clue what I was doing and it was more of a guess. And the only way to test it was to have someone try and send me a mms which was getting old with requests.
I tried the basic settings that people are using on sprint, but used the Verizon server address with no luck. I noticed the Name: and APN: where reveresed in my phone already. I didn't change them. Also the Password: field had four *'s in it like there was a value there and the Server: field also had one * in it. Also the APN type: field had a * in it. I didn't change those as I have no clue what they do or what the actual values are so I didn't want to change something I didn't know how to change back.

I didn't even think to try sending when I tried the settings like this. Did you delete out all the other fields that I mentioned above?
I know there's a ton of messages on MMS, but I've tried searching and have been unable to find a fix for this. I've got an unlocked TP2 from AT&T running on Tmobile, booting Froyo off of my SDcard. I've got an old Suncom sim card with a grandfathered in 2g data plan, it's not the fastest but it's free and unlimited. I've gotten data & mms to work with this sim in winmo, iphones, and every other phone I've tried, but this is my first experience with android and its giving me a lot of problem.
My APN Settings:

I've got data working. I can receive mms perfectly, as long as wifi is disabled. But I cannot get it to work to send an mms. Took me forever to get the receiving mms working and that just turned out to be the naming of the APNs (which I thought was weird) but I feel like I'm missing something else small to get this working.
Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: Forgot to mention I'm not getting an error message, it just hangs. Wifi is disabled. And the edge icon comes up and sends and receives data for a short period of time before it seems like it gives up.
If you are connected to T-mobile's network you should try t-mobile's network settings....

Looks like your setting are almost the same except for the MMSC.
IIRC, I couldn't send MMS until setting my MMSC to the address I posted.
Nope not the solution for me. If I use epc.tmobile.com as my apn I don't think I'm getting any connection out, probably due to my older sim I'm thinking, just from watching the upload/download icon, very little activity. Don't even get a notification for a failed download of mms picture with it.
Trying that MMSC with wap.voicestream.com as my apn I'm at least getting a connection out, a lot of upload/download activity, and getting a download failed notification trying to download an mms.
The only thing I think I haven't tried is changing the mms user agent, but I'm receiving pictures at 128kb, much bigger than what I would think an unrecognized user agent would receive. But so far most of the mms setup for android has been different than what I've seen before so maybe it'll work.
Also a newer Tmobile sim might fix it too, but I've had it working in other phones. It works flawlessly in windows mobile on the same phone. Again I'm thinking it's a combination of the sim card either the mms user agent of android or some other identification tmobile is getting from my phone showing up as android.
I think that with highlands new RIL, MMS works, you just have to enter the right APN settings.

GSM MMS worked in the original RIL too, I didn't change any of that. The only thing new regarding MMS in my RIL is for CDMA phones.

So the Ion, for some reason has been tricky to get the MMS settings correct. I was at my wits end, and about to get rid of my beloved Ion due to the inability to send and receive MMS. Here's the settings I use, set them EXACTLY, any deviation, they will NOT work, trust me, I tried!
Delete any previous Straight Talk APN settings.

What was catching myself, and many others I've seen asking the same question, was the addition of the MMS APN. I as well as them, were setting it all as ONE single APN. TWO APN's ARE NEEDED!
Soon as I set them and checked the Straight Talk box, it started sending and receiving quickly! Pictures go both ways without any issues at all, and last night at work I ran speed tests and averaged roughly 5mbps.
This was exciting to me and hopefully it helped someone else out. Now you're free to enjoy $45/Mo unlimited everything on your sexy Ion!
Just tried this now. I was only able to send pictures when connected to wifi for some wierd reason. I just got the "queved for sending" message. Doesn't look like this has resolved it for me. let me try a power cycle. You have the default "straight talk" named apn the one with the green bubble next to it in your setting correct?
Thanks for the advice will let you no if get it working or not.
Yeah, when I made it the Straight Talk MMS setting didn't have a checkbox next to it. However after resetting phone and doing this again it does? Odd. I'll see if I can figure out
Try creating with wifi off? Set APN type as mms, not MMS. Worked for me. That's the only changes I made
Changing MMS to lowercase had it working for about ten minutes. Still having troubles.
Working fine for me still

I spent many sleepless nights looking for proper APN settings on Straight Talk's B.Y.O.P. plan (AT&T) for my unlocked Sony Xperia Ion (LT28at) device, here are the ones I came up with by messing around with multiple references, that work flawlessly; I get a near perfect 4G signal nearly everywhere and can send and receive MMS messages very fast:
You need you create 2 APNs and select the one named "straight talk"; The APN titled "mms" will be unselectable if done correctly.
Delete any other APNs if possible.
These settings are CAPs sensitive and sorry for the spaces in the URLs, don't have permission for posting hyperlinks yet, so leave out the spaces.
When I created this APN setup I did it with the Wifi off and then restarted the phone, and after reboot, worked great with Wifi.

Now I get faster speeds on straigh talk. Went from 1mb to 5mb download with this simple change.
Info on new sim (sort of)
Just thought I would give an update for all of us still hanging on to the ION
I just got a new ST ATT type sim card. I just knew for certain that with the new sim card that the standard APN settings would work
I was disappointed to say the least, LOL
Still the only ones working for me are in my post on page one.

only settings that worked for me, thank you so much <3333
None of these working
None of the settings listed work for me. When I try to send a picture it says "queued for sending when service is available" and when someone sends me a picture I get "message not downloaded". 2 APN's do not work. I also do not get any 4G with these settings. At least with straight talk's settings I get 4G LTE but of course nothing works that way neither.
Any more settings I can try?
Not really sure I've had an ion for 2-3 yrs and in the beginning when I lived in Atlanta it worked. But now living in Indiana i can't get any (MMS) to work ? I have wonderful 4g though
Good day!!! well this problem has been driving me crazy for the past 6-7 hours. i bought an unlocked tmobile s3 and i'm trying to get data(4g) on this phone with straight talk. calling and texting work fine but data is a no go.
I have litterally tried over 10 diferent apn combinations found online, provided by stratight talk rep and this website and none have worked. with most of them i get the small 4g label to light up next to my signal strenghth implying that my phone is connected to data, but when ever i try looking for somenthing with the browser or the playstore it says i have no internet connection or it redirects me to a website
here are some of the apn combinations i've tried:

I'm starting to think that the permanent APN settings for tmobile, which i can't remove, are maybe causing conflict with straightalk's apn settings despite the fact my phone stays on straightalk apn settings.
please someone help me, i'm about to smash the phone and move on.

you do this by making sure the green dot, the straightalk apn is selected correct? if so it is and still not working.
I assume you are able to make and receive calls just fine. Silly question but I assume, your Straight Talk account is all set for data and what not ?
EDIT - What baseband do you have right now ?

yep i'm able to receive and make calls just fine and data is also configured. my baseband is 800/1900 i believe...
Baseband is not the operating frequency. Its the text you see when you go to Settings > About>Baseband. Please provide that value
Have you confirmed with Straight talk that your account is configured correctly for data and the sim is a newer sim ? Also try the sim in some other phone to see if you get data there.
OK, background, I am on a family plan, some time ago we all switched over to AT&T. I had a Galaxy S2 at the time (yes, old I know), got a TMobile S4 as AT&T tends to lock their bootloaders.
I can't figure out what is going on. Regular texts are fine, but pictures with text messages? Always fail.
Edited the SMSC setting last night was able to send a text message with a photo. Today get text with picture from a friend, get the 'download' prompt, press download, gives me 403 error.
What gives? It's like I fix one thing and something else has to break. I just want it to work damn it.
Have you checked whether your APN settings match AT&T?
Do you leave data enabled at all times?
Sorry for the late reply guys.
