Custom ROM MMS Mini Guide (If you don't use a prepaid data plan)

---

Well I m on Floyo 0.15 and had some issues with MMS sending/receiving.On stock 2.1 SE ROM when you have Mobile Data OFF,our X8s still automatically use GPRS to handle mms messages.On Floyo and other ROMS you need to turn it ON which may result in additional charges from your carrier if you don't use a prepaid internet data plan.

So what do you do in this case you may ask! Well if you only use WIFI for internet and still wanna use MMS you should customize APN Settings.

First google you carrier's APN settings for MMS and set it up manually.Be carefull to not use capital letters on some fields!
Then delete every other APN settings leaving Mobile Data ON all the time and Reboot!

This way you can MMS technology without any fear of additional internet charges. ;)

APN Settings can be found in WIRELESS ->MOBILE NETWORKS->APN menu in any custom ROM!

Hope I helped someone here!
Cheers and enjoy your phones!

Ah, yes, killing all other possible internet connections. It will get the job done, but if we ever want to use broadband connection again, we'll have to configure it. Wouldn't it be easier to simply install APNdroid?

You can have 2 APN's, one with only MMS and one with both and swith between them.

Well you can "right click" on the APN menu,choose RESTORE APNs,reboot and you re done easily!

just sent request to your network provider. they will send the setting and your phone automatically install it. that's what I do when requesting for TuneTalk APN.

i ran into similar problem in my Mini pro. i tried to have 1 apn too only for mms but still can not get it to work.

basically, my solution is to install quick settings from market, use both APN (internet and mms) and disable mobile data using q.settings.
i am not sure how qsettings work, but it doesnt work by adding mess lines in the APN. and zap, no internet, yes mms
anyway, hope this might help others with the same problem
cheers
ps: i did not mean to oot, i know this is x8 thread, but just as i said above, might help

Thanks for the guidance. After I installing "quick setting" application, I'm finally successful sending MMS from my custom ROM X8

Glad to know that it works for you in x8!

ps: a bit becareful when you turn on/off wifi. in my case, 1st time i use it, when i turn off wifi, the 3g mobil turn on by itself. since they (wifi toggle and 3g mobile data toggle) are in the same box. just pay attention to 3g data toggle after u turn on/off your wifi. if it goes back on, just switch it off again and your good to go .
for me, it was just that one time though. after that, 3g data is always off no matter what i do with the wifi. i toggle 3g mobile data back on again only when i need it
