[Q] Simple Mobile MMS - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone using Simple Mobile for Vibrant, do your MMS work? If so could you tell me which rom your using and APN Settings.
Mines just says download and hangs there and never downloads.

I also have Simple Mobile and i use these settings for the APN: http://simplemobile.webs.com/index/Android Configuration/Android Configuration.html
My MMS works, but sometimes i can and sometimes i cant download, its happened on all my Vibrants.

Okay I will try, I guess its just the Vibrants

I use the settings from this video. It is more specific than the page linked to above (which gives options on certain settings).

My internet and MMS work now.

How does Simple Mobile coverage compares to T-mobile? I believe Simple Mobile users can't benefit from roaming agreements between T-mo and AT&T. What about the network speeds before the change and after?
I'm considering canceling my service with T-mo and going with Simple Mobile. I also have a Vibrant. Please, let me know if the change is worth it. Thanks!

I really like simple mobile. Data works well - after installing a custom rom it regularly goes to H or hspa. $50 for unlimited text / voice / 100 meg data is plenty for me. Just don't expect to get much help on the phone. Be sure to buy the sim card on ebay. It's only $1.

No it's not just a vibrant is happen every phone I have used on simple mobile hd 2 and iphone everything

AT&T and Tmobile Network Settings

Anyone have the AT&T and Tmobile network settings? I tried using HTC Connection Setup with the windows mobile standard 6.1 and it doesn't seem to work. Is there a version that does?
Check here for the ATT settings and here for the T-Moible ones.
Thanks and thank you for not telling me to search I've spent the last hour going through archived posts for it.
No problem Actually, i didn't use XDA for this one, but rather Google.
I noticed these dates on those pages are kinda old. Are these current settings to use? I have a Tmobile Wing and wanted to be able to use the AT&T sim card on there for the internet, mms, text, etc. I know it will not do the 3G, but wanted to get it working to try it out.
Any suggestions?

Root rogers 3g fix

Whilst using the root for my xperia x10 I ran into a problem, I couldn't use data on apps other than my browser(couldn't download anything either) but the only way to fix this is to go to Settings>Wireless Controls> Mobile Networks>Access Point Names... from there delete GoRogers, then press you options button and select New APN, put in Name- Rogers, Apn- rogers-core-appl1.apn, then save and you 3g access will be once more. Hope I helped, have a cheeky day
EDIT: I forgot to mention that this is only on the rogers network, sorry..
Edit: if core-rogers-appl1.apn didnt work call rogers to refresh network.

Sure it's faster, but without entering your MMS settings, I'm guessing you aren't able to send MMS messages (e.g. picture texts)?

Faster, simpler and incomplete. You're missing the MMS settings.
Just in case someone looks in here and doesn't look anywhere else, these are the settings:
Code:
Rogers Internet
rogers-core-appl1.apn
not set

my way.
After rooted to Build Number R2BA023, my 3G was not working.
So here is what i did ... by common sense (NO DISRESPECTED TO ANYONE).
Restart the x10i > goto into setting > Wirless controls > Network operators > Select automatically > then Auto internet settings > choose your operator (ie vodafone contract, PAYG etc).
Then my 3g is working .... easy, no fucing about with setting or inputting stuffs.
Oh yes, I am on vodafone contract with UK network. Dont know if this will work in different region.
Let us know.

Glad to hear you got yours working Not sure if you noticed though, this post pertains to Rogers and the x10a in Canada. Sometimes the option to automatically get the settings fails due to the fact we're using a generic ROM.
im on 3 AUS. i went and did all those steps, but i still cannot get my 3g up..

the last part is very true.
with the auto-settings my 3g was slow and either than browsing no other internet function would work. i used the settings for 3g for rogers i found on the internet and everything works, and fast and now the market works on 3g(couldn't get it to work on 3g with the auto-settings).
dam this is a good fix!
is there a difference between entering rogers-core-appl1.apn and internet.com for Rogers apn in Canada?
internet.com just allows data to work, while the core-appl1 apn allows both data and mms to work.
the auto select apn feature sets up rogers phones with the goam.com access point, not internet.com or appl1. not sure what the difference is but the goam.com only seems to allow the browser to work. might be for those plans that allow unlimited mobile web surfing for cheap price?

Thanks for the clarification not a clue about goam.com, my phone is set up with internet.com and media.com separately, no problem so far, just my account not showing data anymore, that scares me a little hehe

until last week i too was adding both the internet.com and media.com apn manually, but it is a lot less work just adding the combined apn, especially when flashing back and forth, and back and forth again, with different roms.
you definitely do not want to use an android device without a data account, so if you have access to data but no data plan you could be setting yourself up for a huge bill!!
I'm not sure if this is just me or what... but ever since I have rooted, rogers My Account app wont show my data usage. It says 0mb used, when clearly I've used it way more... even downloaded apps using 3g from the market. I used the internet.com apn. Also it doesn't display my data usage on the rogers site either.. it says 0mb again. I can see all my minutes that I've used for voice and my texts but data sais nothing used. Am I somehow spoofing my data usage to rogers? I'm confused.

Good question. Will have to wait until my invoice is released in order to see how and if they are calculating my bandwidth as I am having the same issue. My invoice comes out tomorrow.
Edit: If it turns out it truly is this easy to game Rogers data usage... lets just keep it our little secret.

Simple mobile

Would simple mobiles unlimited talk, text and data work on my unlocked/rooted vibrant??
Sent from my Super Smooth Vibrant using XDA App
Yes, they even work on a locked t-mobile phone
Simple Mobile is 100% compatible with T-mobile phones, they use the exact same frequencies, and I far as i read, they will unlock your phone for you. But with T-mobiles new Pay as you go plans, Simple Mobile doesn't look super appealing now, but when/if the merge goes down, and At&t F's everything up, i can see Simple Mobile getting ALOT of bussiness.
While using simple mobile on this phone can you access youtube?
( i was talking to a S.M. rep and he mentioned that youtube might not work)
Simple mobile uses the same network like Tmobile so can you talk and surf the web at the same time without having to be connected to WIFI?
Also if i connect a T-mobile 4g phone on simple mobile will i still be able to get 4g speeds?
TIA...
i currently use this on Simple Mobile, and all works perfectly. the only issues i get is occasionally i will get these spans of time where it refuses to download MMS (SMS still perfect tho) but that's not really a anti-selling point

yes u can, that's all GSM (SIM card) smartphones i believe

MMS without ATT Data

Hey all,
I was wondering if anyone has been able to disable the AT&T mobile network but still been able to get multimedia messages. From the home screen I push menu, settings, battery & data management, data delivery and uncheck data enabled.
While this does turn off my internet connection to AT&T, I cannot get mms messages from my buddies.
I was able to disable the internet on the htc inspire.
Not sure if this is just phone related or rom related. Im using the alien rom.
Sent from my Yo-Yo-Yo!
you need to be connected to AT&T with data enabled, thats how the message is downloaded lol.
If you're not connected to the ATT network, there's no way they can get a message to you. It's looking for your IMEI/ESN on the network to be able to transmit the information to your phone.
Then how come with my old inspire I could get mms while mobile network was turned off?
I have the 200 MB limit and I don't want to go over it... with the inspire it had an option to disable the internet from att. The only internet I had was with.

MMS needs data connection however AT&T text messaging plan includes data for MMS.
for internet browsing and apps you needs separate data plan. MMS will work (keep your phone's data connection enabled) with regular text messaging plan.

I would be okay with that if the data from the mms didn't count toward our data quota. That is the problem with the mms on our phones.

I am using the Atrix on T-Mobile US and I can tell you that for my carrier MMS data DOES NOT count towards data plan limit.
---
The data used to send an MMS message does not count towards your data plan quota on AT&T either.
I think you need to enable data using a mms only APN. Sorry, i'm not real good with APNs so i'm not sure what the settings need to be.

[Q] How do you picture message if you are on T-mobile?

Ok so I am encountering a little problem here.
1 - I do not have a data plan (which is why I picked up the ATT version of the GS2)
2 - I am on T-mobile
3 - I am not able to send or receive pic messages
I turned off my mobile network data on my t-mobile phone but would still be able to send/receive texts.
Anyone have any idea of what is going on?
You turned off mobile network that's why
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
I've used AT&T windows phones in the past on Tmobile (and vice versa) and usually you have to change quite a bit to get it to recognize the network properly, like the address it uses for mms. Idk if it's the same with Android.
