I have an @ntlworld.com email address and I have been trying to configure my virgin mails to work on my SGS2 it wont even get past the incoming settings. It just fails to connect to the server and cannot finish the setup...
I was wondering if anyone else is facing the same issues.
I'm successfully using my ntlworld account on my sgs2.
Are you trying to connect when using a data connection? Sometimes the carrier can cause issues but I've only experienced this on sending. I suggest trying with wifi from your ntl connection.
I've set up my mail account manually in the past but this time I think it set up automatically.
Hope you get it working.

Same problem for me. I think im going to call Verizon and have them walk me thru, cuz my gmail account won't even load my emails, so no point forwarding. If I get the correct settings, ill post for you.

Here is what I have done, that works: installed K-9 from the market.
It does work. A bit over whelming with all the choices and settings.
Gmail works but I do not want to link Verizon mail with Gmail.
I even tried to use the server settings K-9 uses, for the native email settings on the Atrix: That did not work. The settings on the Atrix are different.
Played around interpreting the wording differences.
THIS DID WORK for incoming!!
Verizon server settings that work on my AT&T Atrix:

User name: your email name without the @verizon.net
Password: your email password
Advanced settings:

Use secure connection: NO
Use secure password TLS: Never

worked!
Outgoing: Still trying to figure this out.
Help me out, or stay tuned!
Till then, I can read incoming only.

So odd, I have incoming working great.
But with different port settings.
My problem is the outgoing.
I love this better than the K-9, or Gmail app.
Outgoing has lost of odd settings.
Most do not work so help me out.
Please

These settings also didn't work. Guess im just not meant to get my main email on my atrix.

Notice! K-9, free App in the market, will automatically set up your Verizon email account on your phone.
As far as manually setting up Verizon settings on the Atrix:
Be sure to select "OK" or "Yes" after you make changes to any of the settings pages before you exit that page or the changes will not be saved.
I live on the east coast donno if there are different settings for other area's?
My Atrix is stock, but rooted, if that makes a difference.
The method used was trial and error using lot's of other " setting suggestions", until I got the incoming to work. Applied the same method to the outgoing.
Create a test email, send it to my gmail account, wait for either failure notice, or gmail to say success.
If you get past the "Wrong user name, or password failure" notification, do one server at a time till you get it going.
I like the stock android email application a lot better than K-9 from the market.
Just too many settings in K-9, but to each his or her own.
Good Luck! My phone email signature now say's: Verizon Email sent from my Motorola Atrix on AT&T.
Not sure if east versus west is the difference either. Maybe. Don't know. Im same setup as you stock but rooted. I tried the k9 and while it would get my emails, it wouldn't show me all new ones. Always was one message it didn't show and just happens to always be a vip message. Im gonna have to stop being lazy and call Verizon from a separate device. Thanks for all your help.

You can set the number of emails downloaded in K-9, and how often
Hi for my xperia x10 I can't receive or send picture mail. I used to be able to get them and I'm not too sure how to fix this; and wifi isn't part of the problem. When I got to send picture mail it would just hit up edge/gsm/etc.
My apn is set up correctly; so I don't know what's going on. It just switched all of a sudden:
Name: T-mobile
Apn: Wap.voicestream.com
mmsc: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
bump bump bump
anyone know?
You need to have your APN set up if you haven't. Mainly the MMS part. Also you may need to enable data in order for it to work, unless your ROM has an option to allow MMS with data off.
I have mine set off already.
Name: T-mobile
Apn: Wap.voicestream.com
mmsc: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
It used to work without me enabling data. >__>
Any other ideas?
I had the same problem before and what I did was download the apn settings using the SE settings download.

I noticed that I don't receive emails on gmail while connected to 3G. Works fine on wifi. 3G also works fine (for example if i open the browser i can browse fine and even if I manually sync gmail i receive the emails) I just never get the notifications. This also seems to be the case with other apps like facebook.
Is there some setting somewhere I could be missing?
I have sync on for both google account and facebook.
any ideas?
is it possible this is operator dependent? I have a friend with Galaxy S2 and has the same issue.
(also can a moderator please move this topic to Q&A)
Could be APN related. I had to remove proxy yo get tapatalk to work amongst other things.
Do your APN use a proxy? Try remove proxy and proxy port. Write em down first, in case it doesn't help.

I checked, no proxies set - so thats not the case.
I did a factory reset,went through the setup process adding only samsung and google accounts. I tested it by sending an email to myself, while connected to wifi i got the notification instantly, I disconnected wifi and checked that i can access the web through the browser, then sent another email to myself and got no notification.
I read somewhere that the connection bars should be blue if there is a connection to google services. is this true for the s3 stock rom ?
ok i fixed the problem. for anyone else who might have the same issue in the future (i guess on any android ICS based phone) the problem is caused by incorrect APN settings, the default ones the operator shows on the phone were wrong, i simply had to add a new APN with APN Name: internet and no other settings (I assume this is operator dependent)
The APN should be stored on your SIM-card and can usally be requested through USSD-code to have a configuration SMS sent by your provider.
Alternatively you can just call them and request a configuration SMS.

Yes. However note that some providers are so sneaky (and/or lazy) as to have multiple access points which are billed differently. So check with your operator if that is actually the correct one, not that you are billed per Kilobyte and get the shocker of your life with the next bill.
Hello all,
I'm trying to connect my phone to my company email and it never completes the step where it refers to "checking incoming server settings..."
it then displays a message "Couldn't finish: couldn't open connection to server" I'm using the same credentials everyone else at my work uses, with my own specific email of course. The settings I've entered:
Domain\Username: domain\myusername
Password: ***
Server: mail.mycompany.com
use secure connection (ssl): checked
port: 443
there are two people in my office who have the exact same phone and use the same credential setup and there is no problem. I'm currently running cm 10.1 which is the only difference between myself and them.
I have checked and searched and can't find a fix, I also tried using touchdown to no success either. Any suggestions?
I have been doing some research and apparently the only company that supports MMS over Wi-Fi is T-mobile. I want to know how it works, and more importantly I want to know why other carriers insist MMS must go over their data. I am upset with my carrier because in one breath they say "This plan comes with unlimited picture messaging" then says "but you must have a data plan to send picture messages" AND we will charge you $1/megabyte. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to know this is just plain wrong. So how does it work? Is it a special app? Is is a special kernel? Rom? Please enlighten me.
Thanks

Here is an extract from wikipedia
MMS messages are delivered in a completely different way from SMS. The first step is for the sending device to encode the multimedia content in a fashion similar to sending a MIME e-mail (MIME content formats are defined in the MMS Message Encapsulation specification). The message is then forwarded to the carrier's MMS store and forward server, known as the MMSC (Multimedia Messaging Service Centre). If the receiver is on another carrier, the relay forwards the message to the recipient's carrier using the Internet.[5]
Once the MMSC has received a message, it first determines whether the receiver's handset is "MMS capable", that it supports the standards for receiving MMS. If so, the content is extracted and sent to a temporary storage server with an HTTP front-end. An SMS "control message" containing the URL of the content is then sent to the recipient's handset to trigger the receiver's WAP browser to open and receive the content from the embedded URL.

I'm no expert, but I think the problem is that the store and forward server of your carrier are just accessible over your data connection and not connected to the internet. So you are forced to transfer the data over your data connection.
It seems odd that my carrier would restrict access to its MMSC server to 2G/3G/LTE only. Here are the addresses for (Telus's MMSC)
MMSC: http://aliasredirect.net/proxy/mmsc (seems like just a regular web server)
MMS proxy: 74.49.0.18
MMS port: 80 (just like a regular HTTP server)
MCC: 302 (i don't think this has to do with the MMSC)
MNC: 220 (" " " " " " )
If they are restricting to just data plans that is obviously a way to get money. And I don't agree at all with that kind of policy.

I just looked into the MMS specifications.
The communication between your mobile phone and your carrier (the MMS Proxy-Relay) is WSP, which is similar to HTTP.
The problem is there is no authentification whatsoever in the whole standart, so the only authentification is the source of the request.
In other words it is technicallly impossible to send mms over your wifi connection, because your carrier cannot know that you are the sender of the message.
I assume then my phone identifies itself when it makes a request to the MMSC server? IMEI? Is there anyway to get a log of this communication between my phone and the server? Thanks Very Much for Shedding Some Light on this issue.
Another reason I think the carriers do not allow connection to their MMSC server via wifi (ie the internet) is because it seems to be unprotected. If they were to add authentication to the server then maybe they could open the server up to outside the network traffic. But if you ask me I should be able to choose an independent MMSC server for sending and receiving MMS. Actually I think I recall seeing MMSC servers you can download but imagine they are a pain to set up.
similar question
Since my question is similar to the OP I'll ask my question here. Is there a relatively convenient android app to send/receive MMS over WiFi? Don't care if its my number or some pseudo number generated by the app.

Along with textra and every other app i've tried, wifi mms sending doesnt work. And I'm on T-mobile.
It works great on stock roms with stock sms appwith wifi-calling enabled, even if ZERO cell tower connection, but as soon as I go to another sms/mms app or onto a kitkat rom or something that does not include wifi calling, I cant get a single mms out over wifi.
It does work with Sprint, I have wifi at my workplace and sending big pictures would be instant, only the wifi enabled and 3g/4g would never even turn on. i just switched to ATT and now have a S4 and cannot do it, where as with spring i had a S3 and had both phones active in my hand and saw that with sprint it worked everytime. my S4 would activate 4G to send.. and once done the icon would dissapear but Wifi was active the entire time and it took much longer since my service is limited so it was very clear what each phone was doing!! I want MMS over WIFI !!!
btw both phones using textra app!
