Can't send/receive picture mail - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

cannot receive picture text

Hello All,
Hope all you are having a great 2011! I just noticed that my x10i cannot receive picture text. When I received the picture text, it popped up like a normal text, however, instead of displaying the picture, it says "message cannot be downloaded". Have anyone experienced the same problem? I had my data traffic disable because I do not have data plan, but after enabling the data traffic, it still does not download. Is there something in the setting that I need to enable in order to receive the picture texts? Thanks for all the help!!

In which country?
Try using automatic settings. Go to settings and click on Sony Ericsson at the top of the page. It should download it automatically. Make sure your WiFi is off.

Issue on bell
Not sure if this will help but I went from an Iphone and was use to sending pictures from the gallery so when I went to on the atrix same thing went to pictures chose to share and the only option was text message (no mms option) it asked if I wanted to resize and wether I did or not it only sent the text not the photo. The only way I found to send the pic is to chose insert inside the acutual messaging app (havent tried with handcent) yet.
The setting mentioned earlier are more than likely the issue as you would have to set them manualy.
quick question, coming from the iphone using bitesms. with the handcent quickcompose or even with chompsms is there a way to have favorites show up as default in the list upon oppening the quickcompose as they do on bitesms really miss that feature

Call AT&T. Once again another fail by them: they automatically switch your texting plan if it isn't available any more. I had the 200 plan, and they basically switched it without telling me, and they messed it up. I just called them and setup a 1500 plan.

Help I cant send mms

Can someone please help me on how I can send mms via my android htc mytouch 4g slide? Ive configured the network settings, I can receive mms just fine but I cant send any pics that I take from my camera. Im using Vodafone australia and Ive gone to their website and retrieved the network settings and configured my device hence I can receive them just fine but just cant send.I dont get no error it seems to go ok but none of my friends say theyve gotten them. At first I thought cause its a 8megapixel camera the attachment might be too big, the pics are about 1mb. I remember my last phone I always had to compress the image to about 600kb to send it. Anyway I changed the resolution of my camera to the lowest setting and the pic was 24kb but they still didnt get that mms. I dont get it, what gives?
I've noticed this on some phones, try a different sms app such as go sms. It might work better as if I recall correctly it has some additional mms settings such as message size and includes workarounds for some known mms problems.

Hoi,
did your check your settings for mms-server and mms-port in your settings ?
Otherwise post them, so we can find out where the problem is.

try to active/unactive 3G, sometimes it's fixed for me.
As for sending MMS I use app called Handcent. Try it, it is free (and for me the best solution for SMS and MMS)
I am having the same problem. I can receive pics but I can't send them.
I have US T-mobile and here are my APN settings:
APN: epc.tmobile.com
Proxy: Not Set
Port: Not Set
Username: Not Set
Password: Not Set
Server: Not Set
MMSC: (ht)(tp)://mms(dot)msg(dot)eng(dot)t-mobile(dot)com/mms/wapenc <-(I cant post links but you get it.)
MMS Proxy: Not Set
MMS Port: Not Set
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
Authentication type: Not Set
APN type: Not set
Also I've tried a couple other messaging apps like gosms and handcent. But they didn't help.
Do you have mobile data services switched ON? Even when I am on Wifi Network, I have to switch my 2G/3G ON to send MMS.

[Q] Why are my APN settings are not working?

So I got my XZU on Friday. Bought a Petro Canada Mobility sim, cut and inserted it, and I am able to call and text without problems. Issues arise when I want to use mobile data. I filled out the APN info as the Petro Canada site said (located here at 5.f) and that didn't work. I googled around and tried various other ones, which also didn't work.
I called Petro Canada, I called Sony, and they each say to call the other and that everything is working with their respective equipment.
I don't know what else to do, I don't know if I'm missing something in my settings, and I hope you guys can help.
The 2 settings configurations I tried/keep trying are:
(1)
APN: goam.com
Proxy: 10.128.1.69
Port: 80
Username: wapuser1
Password: wap
(everything else not set/default)
(2)
APN: goam.com
Proxy: 10.128.1.69
Port: 80
Username: wapuser1
Password: wap
MMSC: http://mms.gprs.rogers.com
MMS proxy: 10.128.1.69
MMS port: 80​(everything else not set/default)
I should also note that I have tried the option to "Download settings for Internet and MMS" (it prompts me to select Fido or Rogers, and I choose Rogers because Petro Canada uses their network), and if while it's downloading, I go to the APN page, I see the APN it is attempting to download, and it matched settings (1) I listed above, only named SONY GPRS. It then fails to download and leaves me with nothing.
Thanks for the help.

Well, the settings look OK from what I can see... Stupid question, but you have data enabled in the settings?

Just to be sure, since Petro Canada is using another network: you have got Data Roaming enabled in the settings?
I'm using a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) myself, and when I disable Data Roaming, I can't get a mobile internet connection either. But then again, if that were the issue, the phone should give you a notification.
I remember having internet connection problems with my previous phone, and I solved them by simply leaving the proxy settings blank (server address and port number). Maybe you could give that a try?

I was gonna mention that about proxies also, it's unusual for an operator to use a proxy locally isn't it? Definitely worth a go to leave it out.

I had data roaming disabled. Changed it to National roaming. Doesn't work, removed proxy and port, still no luck.

[Q] mms issues

I'm new to this and would appreciate some help.
have nothing against Verizon wireless, but times are tough and needed to save some money.
Went with consumer cellular...works great except I can't send or receive picture with a text.
Hope some one out there laughs and knows an easy solution.
Thanks
Russ
You need to edit the apn settings with whatever messaging app you are using so the mms apn settings match the ones your carrier uses and not Verizons.

You might can take your phone to the provider and have them help maybe.
