I just got this phone and signed up for StraightTalk, so got a brand new sim card.
It's been over a week, and I still can't get MMS working.
I can send pictures to other Android phones, but not iphones. I can't receive pictures or group texts from anyone.
When someone sends me a pic or group text, I get an error message saying to check my APN settings (using Chomp. Stock just shows a 'downloading' button').
I've checked and triple checked the APN settings and am using the ones ST said to use:
APN: tfdata
Proxy: proxy.mvno.tracfone.com
Port: 80
MMSC: http : //mms-tf.net (no space but wasn't allowed to post the 'link')
MMS Proxy: mms3.tracfone.com
MMS Port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
APN Type: default,mms,supl
I have rooted, and flashed both CyanogenMod and currently on Carbon Rom. It's never worked, even on the stock rom.
I've been on help chat with straight talk 3 times at least. They are telling me it is the programming on my phone that is causing the problem.
Is this possible? That the programming on the phone is bad? That doesn't make sense to me.
They also suggested testing my sim card in another phone, but I don't know anyone that has an unlocked phone to test it in.
Does no one else use straight talk with this phone?

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:
Name: Suncom Net
APN: mobileinternet
MCC: 310
MNC: 490 (suncom's old mnc)
APN Type: default,supl
the rest blank
Name: Suncom WAP
same as above but APN Type is blank
(got mms receiving & data working with this in there so I've left it)
Name: Suncom MMS
APN: wap.voicestream.com
Proxy: 216.155.165.50
Port: 8080
Server: wap.voicestream.com
MMSC: 216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
MMS proxy: 216.155.165.50
MMS port: 8080
MCC: 390
MNC: 490
APN type: mms
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....
These settings work for me with xdandroid on t-mobile....
APN epc.tmobile.com
proxy: 216.155.165.050

MMSC: http://mms.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc

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.

Hi there everyone, I am new to your forum, but I have been using various mods on various devices over the years. I recently acquired an LG Optimus lte(p930) that was originally on bell. I unlocked it and started using it on rogers. I got everything working just fine, but was unsatisfied with performance. I found the leaked ICS software and updated it, and I love it!(So much so that I am going to abandon my iphone 4s) The only thing stopping me from moving forward is that I am unable to get my mms working. Data is work fine, but not mms, I manually entered the apn's but I noticed something was wrong.
ame: Rogers MMS
APN: media.com
Username: media
Password: mda01
Server: 172.25.0.107
MMSC: !!!not allowed to post link!!!!
MMS Proxy: 10.128.1.69
MMS Port: 80
APN Type: mms
The server line for this is missing in the phone, and I entered it in the proxy, but that didn't work either. after so much more searching I found an alternate.

APN: rogers-core-appl1.apn
MMSC: !! not allowed to post link
MMS Proxy: 10.128.1.69
MMS Port: 80
MCC: 302
MNC: 720
APN Type: mms
But this flat out does not work. some sites say it is used for both mms and data, and I just cannot get it to work. Any suggestions or known ways to get this to work would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I apologize as this is my first post if this is in the wrong spot, but I wasn't allowed to post in other area's of the forum.
APN: rogers_core_appl1.apn
MMSC: http://mms.grps.rogers.com

*Do not add any other parameters!*
Open the browser, let it auto-configure to the point of browsing, restart, try MMS again. It *should* fill all the settings in automatically.
I just set up an unlocked Atrix on Rogers for my mom, this is what worked.
This one didn't for mms or data. I wonder if I have to set my account for it. At rogers that is.
Hey guys, been trying to solve this problem for over a week now.
I just got Straight Talk, with an ATT Sim Card.
I am using these APN settings from the ST website, which work fine for data and being able send MMS.
But I cannot receive MMS messages.

Unfortunately none of these are able to let me receive mms messages.
I can get data and send mms messages on all of these however.
Thanks for the help.

Should work. Let me know (i dealt with the same issue in the past it actually ended up being on straight talk's end but the settings are the correct ones)
I still can't receive mms. Tried about every APN setting.

What do you mean it was on Straight Talk's end? I kept saying that to them but they kept saying no. They also say there are no higher up management who they can transfer me to.
so stil....
Can't get my phone to receive MMS.
Every MMS message shows up as 32kb and it attempts to download, then just stops. It's impossible each mms message I receive is 32kb.
Straight talk just tells me its on my end and my phone isn't compatible.
Really annoying but I guess its just time to give up

I say "on their end" because after dealing with it for a month (calling Straight Talk and spending hours with different Reps, pouring over internet forums) I renewed my service for another 30 days and the issue was resolved...magically.
In regards to APN settings are you making sure to delete all existing APNs before starting a completely new one?

Yea I have done that many times. Also tried 5 different roms, the same result however.
You renewed using the same sim card or got a new one? maybe its the actual sim card number that is bugged on their end and I need to get a new one and a new number?
This is my first 30 days.
So I guess I'll renew once and hope for the best, who knows.

Thanks man for giving me hope!
Shows how inept they actually are at trying to diagnose the problem and denying the problem was not on their end.
Oh well!

Believe me bro, I'm Soooo happy for you!!
I remember going through it and it was a Royal pain in the ass.
The reality is, when Straight Talk works property, it's the best out there (in my opinion anyway).
Peace
I cant get MMS. I had a month in reserve. After it was applied I still cannot get MMS. It was working on my full size sim card. I wish I had just cut it down to fit into my new phone instead of porting my number to a new small sim. They just say to me they cannot guarantee MMS. I told them i can Guarantee I will leave them if they don't fix it.
My mms is finally fixed. I can now receive MMS. I called them repeatedly for a month. Finally one guy finally offered to repush through the updates that they do when you change SIM cards. And that is what fixed it on my net 10 line.
On my other phone which was not able to send MMS on straight talk they offered me no such thing even after I asked for it. Of course they had me double check the APN settings. And lo and behold I had the setting inputted incorrectly. It was hard to catch this mistake because I had HTTPS instead of just HTTP I removed the s and now it is working fine.

I have a moto g with a Straight Talk at&t sim, and I had tried everything to get mms incoming working.
Finally I had them send me another sim card for a different problem.
The Original Sim card had a part number of TF64PSIMC4MB and was a micro sim.
The replacement was a TF64PSIMC4BMB and was a sim or microsim.
I switched over to the new sim, powered off the phone, and installed, and then started getting mms without changing any settings.
I'm using the tfdata settings from the straightalk site.
So it's a problem on their end, not on the phone most of the time.
I recommend asking for a replacement sim card if you can't get mms incoming working.
So, I found that if you remove port 80 from the APN...
Name: straight talk
APN: tfdata
Proxy: not set
Port: 80 <-- delete this
MMSC: http://mms-tf.net

... you get a better download speed. I was limited to less than 5Mbps on LTE with the port set to 80. I deleted that, and get a consistent speed of around 20-25Mbps. (Note: This applies to a SIM unlocked ATT hTC One X+, no idea if this works for a Galaxy Nexus)
Try adjusting your APN settings, first before this.
I had problems with my Nexus 5 not sending MMS messages and it turned out the pictures were just to big. I downloaded an app called Go SMS Pro (it's free) and it automatically re-sizes it, and it fixed the issue.

I'm a newbie and messed around with mine and now I no longer have internet, mine said 311 and 480, I'm on straight talk.
I have an LG G2 which I have rooted and GSM unlocked to work on Straight Talk. I'm running the stock ROM and the APN settings have been modified to allow for mobile data. However, whatever I do I simply can't seem to get MMS messages to send or receive.
Has anyone else experienced a similar problem?

I also have GSM LG G2 running a custom ROM and with Straight Talk.
My recommendations are to double check the APN, make a call so they can give you the right one because in some web pages isn't wrong, also check the SMS app that you're using, in some apps you may need to configure the APN again.

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.
