Sorry if this has been asked before, but I haven't been able to get MMS to download without manually turning on cellular data. My LG G2 used to do this automatically. I don't pay for cellular data, but I get free MMS with my texting bundle. With the G2, it would download the MMS but I wouldn't get charged data fees.
Now that I've switched to the S3, I can no longer do this. Is there any way to get that working? I've tried a few different APN settings but no luck so far.
Any help is much appreciated.
My sister in law has an s4, stock rom, mms on Rogers, no data because it is blocked, but she has to leave data enabled in order to receive mms.

So i have searched and searched but have not found something that works. I have an unlocked USCC Touch Pro 2 that i am using on Tmobile. Calls and Text work fine but when it comes to MMS and Data i am stuck. Whenever i try to send an MMS i get a Box saying there is no data connection. I even installed a preconfigured tmobile MMS cab. Still no luck. Can someone help me with the data settings? Thanks.

Is this a US Cellular phone? I'm surprised that a CDMA phone works on T-Mobile's (GSM) network at all... But if you can receive calls then I guess it does.
The data setting for T-Mobile -- the APN -- is epc.tmobile.com
So...if you have a place under Settings>Connections>Manage/Edit existing connections for APN or Access Point Name then epc.tmobile.com is it for data.
I don't know about MMS...I don't use it.
Its a CDMA/GSM phone.
MMS is wap.voicestream.com

Did you try the APN I suggested and did it work -- did you get a data connection?
Anyone know of a CAB that does all this Data and MMS settings like a T-Mobile Carrier Provisioning?
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.
Does anyone have any other methods to avoid enabling data to send/receive MMS?
I came from the xperia x8 and arc and both can receive and send mms without enabling data. I googled and some ppl said that samsung devices are different from sony's and that data must be enabled to use MMS. I find this very depressing coz i dont have any data plan and if i enabled data, my prepaid will be deduced alot. Anyone have any workaround regarding this problm?
-plz help if there are ppl from malaysia...

Have you asked your carrier to actually block data instead of charging you if you use it?
I have to ask, why would you buy a phone such as this and not have a data plan? You are missing most of the advantages of the phone.
I'm not understanding your request. MMS requires data. So blocking data = blocking MMS.
Different carriers use different methods for allowing MMS. For example, Rogers sends all MMS through a different APN than regular data. That way it charges a fixed rate for each MMS, instead of it coming out of your data plan. MMS works without a data plan, so it would lead me to believe that you do not have the MMS APN set up for your carrier.

Interesting. Verizon does the same, but it still sends over data.

The way Rogers does it, you can still ask for data to be blocked, but are still able to send MMS. All MMS data goes through one APN and is charged per MMS; All other data goes through another APN, and is charged per kb.
Nice.
T-Mobile in the US separates it as well so you can send MMS without a data plan.
For Rogers, you can just delete the data apn. There is a second apn just for mms anyway.

Hello, I hope someone can help.
I had myLG LS970 flashed to cricket the other day but I was having 3G issues and I believe the flash was not "full" as they say. I was able to get a whopping .1 Mbps but I was connecting. I was not able to send or receive MMS messages and to receive incoming calls I had to disable mobile data. Long story short I didn't back up the settings and I've tried every combination I could find online . Does anyone have the Data and MMS settings for this phone on cricket that actually works? I need to get the data working so any help would be great. Specifically the information found in the ##data# menu is what I need. Thanks in advance.
So, I'm coming from a S7 edge, and I'm on xfinity mobile. When I'd send an mms or my wife sends me one, it would auto download with data off. But since using the note10+ I sent my wife a pic and its requiring I put data on to send it. Asked her to send me one and I need to put data on to download it.
Is there something in settings to look into?
The s7edge was a tmobile branded phone, that was flashed using the verizon firmware, (for some reason xfinity firmware didnt connect at all, which is odd but anyways)
It's not a big deal, but I'm wondering why it's an issue now.
Thanks guys!
I am on Xfinity Mobile as well. If you go look at their own forums, many others with many types of phones have this issue. The support agents over there either say that is how its supposed to work or do not know what the issue is.
MMS is based on the 3G infrastructure that was the addition of an additional data layer, so I would assume it has always required data as it has always required a minimum 3G connection.
yes you need data for mms, not sms but yes for mms
