[Q] APN Settings for Unlocked G2 AT&T - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It seems I have searched every forum.. on every android site imaginable. I have posted this question and tried everything recomended to me. Here is my problem and I hope someone can help.. I purchased an unlocked T Mobile G2. I am using it on AT&T. I have unlimited talk, text and data plan. My internet works fine. BUT.... When I send/receive MMS messages they are in video format. My wife and I like to take pictures of our kids and send them to each other. I have tried several APN settings that were supposed to work and none of them fixed the problem.. I had a G1 for 2 years and the same settings worked in that phone. Can someone PLEASE send me the correct APN settings to use this phone on AT&T? Any help will be GREATLY appreciated..

try this, it has always worked for me for both way picture messages and i received 1 video message before as well (but never tried sending)

I dont have a place for MMS Protocol, have APN Protocol as the last entry at the bottom. My APN Protocol is set as IPv4, Im not sure if this is right.. As I stated I went back into my G1 and copied exactly the APN settings from that phone to my new G2 and it still sent all my pictures as videos,, kinda aggravating... I do appreciate your help.. I will let you know if this fixes my problem i have input your info into my phone already.. I just tried to send a normal picture to my wifes phone and it came up in video format just like it did before... If you can think of anything else Im sure open to opinions.. I lost my 3G with this phone and now i cant send pictures.. Kinda thinkin about selling the phone as much as i like it.. If i cannot get it to function anywhere near right it seems kinda like a paperweight.. Thank you for your help
...

This Apn was just what I needed!!! Thanks so much. Got my 4g back..I appreciate. It!! Worked perfectly on my unlocked HTC g2. I had to downgrade for a couple days while my new s4 is in the mail. :laugh:

Data not working (Rogers)

Hey guys, I have an Xperia x10a, got it from someone who had rogers. I decided to debrand and root it. That seemed to work out fine. Now I am trying to get the 3g to work, and it just doesn't seem to.
I have added APN settings for two different variations.
One was internet.com, the other was rogers-core-appl1.apn, neither work. I am trying to get a hold of rogers tech but they seem to have no clue whats going on.
Here is my info:
X10a
Firmware - 1.6
Baseband - 1.1.31
Build - R2Ba026
This is driving me nuts, but I cant seem to get it working.
I appreciate any help.
Thanks.

All I seem to get is network errors. Not really sure what to do, enter all the info, enabled the APN from the menu, wifi works fine, but it just doesnt seem to work. The auto select network detects rogers, but the settings just dont seem to work.
Thanks.
Kitu.
I am very sorry guys, apparently rogers had a block on the data for some apparent reason. For some reason the first couple tech representatives didn't tell me there was a block.
Thank you those settings worked perfectly.
Didn't mean to waste anyones time.
Thank You.

No worries that is what we are here for to help! I have asked my fair share of questions and gotten sound advice. So it was my chance to give back.

MMS

So I know this seems to be an issue but cant seem to find a straight answer.
I got my vibrant a few days ago and do not know what rom I am running. I am using Tmobile and I am able to recieve MMS's blurry, and I can not send them. However I updated the APN settings to these
Name: Simple
APN: simple
Proxy: 216.155.165.050
Port: 8080
Username: Not set
Password: Not set
Server: Not set
MMSC: http://smpl.mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS proxy: 216.155.165.050
MMS port: 8080
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
Aunthentication type: PAP
APN type: internet + mms
Now when I performed this last night working station 3.I was using wifi calling and all of a sudden was able to send MMS no problem. I left and was on regular network and still I could send...no matter what I still recieved blurry ones. I woke up today and went to work at station 4. I again could not send MMS's at all (was on wifi calling and tried normal network). I came back to station 3 and still could not send MMS. I checked my APN settings to make sure nothing changed, and alas it did not. I am on the wifi calling here. I retried and sure enough I can send...I changed nothing and am on wifi calling and when I was at station 4 this morning I was on wifi calling and it didnt work, and i tried on the regular network and it didnt work.
Sometimes I get a general "fail to send", while others I get "error connecting to the network"
My question is why is it working now after i checked the settings and changed nothing.? and how can I find what version and kind of ROM I am running?
Regardless of which I am finding a lot of topics, but cant seem to find a fix for both the blurry issue and not being able to send MMS.
Thanks guys for the understanding and cooperation this whole droid thing is new to me after being a blackberry head. I love the phone but I am still new to this whole thing, I am wish I knew how to update my kernel (if I knew what version or type of a ROM I am running).
I feel burnt out from pondering this all day.

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.

Verizon Galaxy S5 on Straight talk, cant get MMS texts to work.

I just switched my verizon phone to straight talk. Im finding out one of the things thats saving me money is terrible customer support...
So I have an S5 SM-G900V running 4.4.2 unlocked.
So I switch to straight talk and everything is great. Same exact service as verizon for half the price. The next day I get a text that my data plan has been updated from 5 gb to 8 gb. They told me this would happen. Now when they switch my plan over they also reflashed my APN and broke my data/MMS. Get on the web google a little bit download a couple things and within an hour Ive got the APN properly working and data going just fine. Next day I try to send someone a picture via text and realize I cant receive or send MMS'. Get back on google tonight to configure the texting an APN settings and for the life of me I cant get it to work. Ive tried numerous old and new MMSC's proxies, ports, etc. I managed to get my downloading working but uploading refuses to play nice.
My APN reads as follows right now.
APN: TRACFONE.VZWENTP
MMSC: HTTP://MMS.VTEXT.COM/SERVLETS/MMS
MCC: 311
MNC: 480
APN TYPE: DEFAULT,DUN,STDHIPRI,SUPL
APN PROTOCOL: IPV4/IPV6
APN ROAMING PROTOCOL: IPV4/IPV6
BEARER: LTE
If I didnt listed the field is blank. So as a small note my wife has the same exact phone but with the next version of android and is having no issues. Her APN reads exactly the same except the MMSC is set to default, and the APN TYPE doesnt have STDHIPRI. I tried her settings not luck. Also the MMSC im currently on is not what worked for downloading so Im broken on up and download right now. I used an older tracfine address that got downloading working. This vtext address is what is listed as correct for a verizon phone everywhere on the web...
Also Id like to add I wanted to try some settings I found with different MCC and MNC numbers but if I change them it immediately deletes my APN profile...
I did also try go sms and some other recommended messaging apps and it made no difference.
Help please lol. Im getting super frustrated.
Well I just fixed it. Go figure I walk away from it for a couple hours, make a post, screw with it for 10 minutes and figure it out...
SO for anyone else on the internet with this issue here is the functioning current APN for a verizon phone on straight talk as of 8/2017
APN: TRACFONE.VZWENTP
MMSC: HTTP://MMS.VTEXT.COM/SERVLETS/MMS
MCC: 311
MNC: 480
APN TYPE: DEFAULT,MMS,SUPL
APN PROTOCOL: IPV4/IPV6
APN ROAMING PROTOCOL: IPV4/IPV6
BEARER: LTE
It was all in the stupid APN Type line. Apparently either my phones a screw ball OR perhaps newer android phones default better on certain settings that my rooted phone cant? Either way this stupid line changed worked to fix both my downloading and uploading...
