Straight Talk Galaxy S3 4.3 / 4.4.2 APN settings?

Robert417919 · Dec 15, 2013

So I have a Galaxy S3, non-rooted, on Straight Talk. Before I updated to 4.3 LTE, SMS and MMS all worked fine. But now that I have updated I can't get MMS to work. I can send them but not receive them. Can anyone on with a S3 that has 4.3 on ST get or receive MMS? If so do you mind helping me out please.

Not sure if this will help but be sure your mobile data is on. I on on at&t and mostly have to have the data on to send MMS. Some of the customs Roms like wicked sensation has a zip file to allow sending MMS via WiFi..

Yea I leave mobile date connected even when on WiFi... Looks like flashing a ROM might do the trick since the issue seems to be related to the stock OTA update.

yeah I love it when the updates have added features at no extra cost that you cannot get rid of. also, check into the PAC man rom. it is 4.3 based and is very stable. its a hybrid of Paranoid, AOKP, and CM. tons of options and excellent battery life, I get avg 18hrs no problems. I have issues with most of the 4.4 roms, seems like somewhere something sucks the battery dead. but still a WIP.

Is there anyway to maybe just get this feature.. like from an Xposed mod or something? And my problem is receiving not sending. I can send them just fine.

Having the same issue on A S3 here also. Any news on this?

Robert417919 · Jan 16, 2014

I saw on another forum that once the plan expired and you renewed it the problem fixed its self.. and it DID!!! My plan refilled on the 12th. It took a few days but about noon today my phone said insert SIM. Puzzled I just powered off, took the batter and SIM out and reversed and powered back on. Thinking of what that person said I sent myself a MMS .. and it worked! Had my girlfriend send my a picture too and it work. I also sent her one. So yea.. MMS seems to fix its self when you refill you plan after it expires. Hope this helps and works for others!

Ok, thanks. She renews at the end of the month so we'll see what happens.

Had exact same issue on my wife's s3 after updating to 4.3.... allot of bugs and junk came with that update... Fixed it by first while on screen where you can enter newapn I clicked menu and reset to default. Than I took sim out and put into another phone and sent picture message to it on another phone. Than inserted back into her s3 and it started working. Maybe you don't even need another phone. .. Just try to reset apn to default and turn off than turn on without sim than turn off and put sim card in and enter the apn settings than save and try again. Hope this helps.

Try to change the MMS proxy: from, mms3.tracfone.com to, mms2.tracfone.com

I'm on net 10 (same stuff different flavor) that fixed my issues with MMS messages.

This. I'm on a 90 day plan. Doesn't expire until April 27. So, is there some way to get Straight Talk to, in effect, do whatever it is that's done when an account is refilled, while still maintaining the time I have left? It seems to me that if so many different people are reporting this as the only solution (and multiple searches reflect this to be the only thing that works), if there were some way to get Straight Talk to do it manually, that'd be a great fix.

Hello! I just put an AT&T phone on Straight Talk. It worked great for one day, then 4.3 muffed it all up. I have the same APN as you listed, and nothing is fixing my problem of not getting SMS Pictures / multimedia.
I was just wanting to follow up and see if you ever found a solution to your problem?
Thanks!!

My girlfriend is on straight talk and has no issues. Here is the APN she uses:

APN:tfdata
MMSC:http://mms-tf.net
PROXY:mms3.tracfone.com
PORT:80
MCC:310
MNC:410
APN TYPE:default,supl,mms,admin,fota,hipri (no spaces after commas)

everything else is blank. If this doesn't work try changing the proxy to 66.209.11.3

Manually putting in the information works but straight talk has a data apn app on the play store and it will walk you through the steps, for me when I got to the bearer I just clicked LE and I am on LTE right now with straight talk.

Has anyone updated to 4.4.2. I was thinking of doing it but I didn't want to end up with the same problem.

I just installed Cyanogenmod by HELLFIRE on my Straight Talk SCH-S968C Galaxy S3, but the rom is for the Verizon version of S3 the I535. I can make calls and send text but cannot use data.

What can I do?:crying: Someone told me to go into Build.Prop and edit it but I dont know what lines to change or anything. Could use some help, love this rom and want to use it. Any ideas, thanx:fingers-crossed:
