Working T-Mobile US MMS APN Settings.

[eosrider]

Mods - I know this is a question asked in most android builds "how do i get mms to send?" so i took some time and tried to work out a bug.

Devs - Ill be testing on all available builds tonight and post the results here.

Mods, Devs, and [Ref] Thread holders - want to use it ? go ahead.

Everyone else -

I cant believe that I have my CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) i did not notice this.

IP address octets cannot have a octet begin with a 0

So. having said that. use these settings and have a great time sending messages.

NONE OF THE POSTED SETTINGS WORK FOR ME... CRAZY thing is i was able to send one last night. ONE! thats it????????????????

 

[eosrider]

tesing multiple message sending now. with initial settings.

Multiple mms on initial settings works. have sent 4 different pictures to multiple numbers. all confirmed working.

 

[anniehero]

just tried it to no avail, running nrg's glass wm, 2.12 radio and dan's froyo v1 with the latest zimage.

 

[eosrider]

how long are you guys letting it run for before deleting the message?

 

[djdant]

I can confirm these settings work for US T-Mobile just sent one to myself
Using mattc froyo 1.4

Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

 

[eosrider]

hmm... benicia... im in Santa rosa. i wonder if these settings might be regional.

 

[swaser18t]

how long are you guys letting it run for before deleting the message?

15 min... also if you long press one the sending picture and go to details the size is only 1KB

 

[djdant]

Now we need to fix the sending size, the pic I sent got so degraded an only 14k from a 250k pic

Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

 

[dysprosi]

Got it to send one MMS to myself. It took about 15 minutes. Had to disable WiFi. Can't get any more to send.

[anniehero]

i can receive them now, which i couldn't consistently before. still no luck getting them out however.

i should add that it shows the correct file size when i send it as far as i know, none of them have popped up as being 1kb.

 

[eosrider]

If the message details show 1kb you have not sent a message out
working diligently right now.

 

[Susasama]

I beginning to think Miri's ROM is the factor that is allow those to be able to send. Cause i sent 3, and not a single one worked for over 15 min had the logo, wifi, no wifi, and different radios.

 

[eosrider]

Tried 2 other roms and 2 other android builds per winmo rom. nothing worked.
Did not try experimenting with radio tonight but after all was said and done. went back to the first setup ( Android; Shub / Miri 17.6

 

[eosrider]

ok... something really weird is going on. With different builds i sent all different pictures of random items ( lighters, coins, water bottles ). now those builds that failed my testing were all taken off. SD card was formated between builds. I ended up going back to the setup I had when i started this thread, because it works.

Now i have the people who's picture i sent randomly saying that they are getting their pictures. 3 different pictures and people. Keep in mind that this is AFTER I formatted and went back to the working setup. so i didnt have the same pictures on the sd card.

Thoughts?

 

[simeezee]

I think the problem is the windows rom. I tried many different android builds none of them allowed me to send mms. I was only able to receive them.

 

[S3BAZ10]

..... I said this once already.


ROM's with no SenseUI and stock Messaging App should work without error as long as APN is correctly Set. Stock/Non-Sense UI Rom's APN:

NAME: T-Mobile US
APN: epc.tmobile.com
PROXY: <Not Set>
PORT: <Not Set>
USERNAME: <Not Set>
PASSWORD: <Not Set>
SERVER: <Not Set>
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS PROXY: <Not Set>
MMS PORT: <Not Set>
MMS Protocol: WAP 2.0
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
AUTH TYPE: None
APN TYPE: default,supl,mms

ROM's WITH SenseUI all have the same issue/bugs if you are on T-Mobile in the US (even with the correct APN's set).

MMS pictures are shrunk to tiny tiny 2kb images when receiving with that HTC Messaging App, this is because Sense sends in the user-agent string for MMS found in: /system/customize/MNS/default.xml

T-Mobile's MMS server's doesn't recognize the "HTC Desire" user-agent string therefore when receiving MMS, you get a tiny tiny thumbnail pic. I think you can set it to "NexusOne" Or was it "Nexus One/Build FRFxx". Forgot if it was one or the latter. (OH.. this is only for TMOUS People, I don't think this affects european peeps, since the Desire Rom was made for that region.) Problem with this is, I think those settings are loaded with the initial setup (first boot, and I'm not sure where it's stored afterwards. If you modify now and save it, it seems to have no effect. Also, customized SenseUI seems to ignore the file altogether?)

Those with incorrect, or missing APN's using any ROM with SenseUI. If you are on T-Mobile, your settings should be as follows (This will allow you to send and receive, but theres the file size restriction):

NAME: T-Mobile Data
APN: epc.tmobile.com
PROXY: <Not Set>
PORT: <Not Set>
USERNAME: <Not Set>

Actually, ignore this one, its apparently used for Firmware Over-The-Air updates.
