Hi folks.
So I've got a Lumia 800, SIM-free from phones4u. I've tried the following to get my MMS working. Note everything else on the phone works fine.
Cut my PAYG O2 sim card to micro sim, booted up phone (first boot), set APN settings etc.
Doing a complete phone reset.
Getting a replacement microsim for O2.
Doing another complete phone reset.
I've bounced between O2 and Nokia's customer support lines a few times to no avail.
Texting the O2 number (2020) to get MMS settings sent to my phone. It errors.
So I have three questions.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Is there a way to force it into the right MMS settings?
Is Nokia's Network Setup application on the way after the secruity flaw that got it unpublished? Any indication when it might be out?
Sorry if any of this is a stupid question. A friend suggested you guys might be able to help.
Got the same problem and I believe everybody with sim free Nokia's experiencing the same problem.
There's no way to change the MMS settings. We need to wait for Nokia to release the app.
It's a bit annoying though.
Lumia 800 on O2 Ireland here as well and MMS is not working. I was expecting this as MMS on my existing HD7 would not work either without running the Connection Setup software provided by HTC.
I'm hoping the Network Setup software will be back soon on the Marketplace(and will actually include O2 Ireland in the settings).
Although my lumia seems ok with mms on tmobile uk, my wifes Mozart wont send or recieve mms at all i have tried everything. As HTC used to have a setup app before they removed it (dunno why its needed) im sure it can be setup by software.
Hi,
Nokia released the Network Setup App again. The only flaw is, I can't seem to find the app in Marketplace. BUT: go to this thread and follow the link in the first post on your phone.
My data connection now works perfectly, but MMS still does not work
Happy to report that USA T-Mobile Lumia 800 sending MMS perfectly.. after reading this thread, I tested this and my coworker got the photo I sent just fine. Didn't even take that long to send (T-Mobile USA restricts Lumia 800 to 2G Edge)
Thanks zoidinger - this got me the app. Annoyingly I now can't seem to actually make it *do* anything. I can select between O2 UK 1, O2 UK2, and tesco mobile, but no matter what it always ends up set to "O2 UK 1" iff I change it, go out and come back in again.
I'll have a play around today when I get the chance and see if I can get anywhere.

The Connection Setup app doesn't exist anymore on Marketplace or what? Because I had a Mozart before and to fix the MMS config I downloaded that app, ran it and then it worked.
BTW: I also got MMS to work on my Lumia yesterday with the Network Setup app. Here's how I did to get it to work:
1. I ran the app
2. Removed the app
3. Turned the phone off
4. Removed the sim card
5. Started the phone
6. Turned it off again
7. Reinserted the sim card
8. Turned it on again.
Now it works!
Right after playing around I got it working!
It was some combination of the following, in various different orders:
Playing with the Network Setup app
Removing the APN settings
Re-adding the APN settings
Rebooting the phone
Thanks so much for the trick to get the Network Setup app!

Unfortunately, that does not seem to work for me. I tested MMS with another phone. It worked instantly. I also checked the MMS settings inside the XAP from Nokia and they seem correct. Don't know what to do else...
The problem affects only branded firmware. Solution:
1. Open Internet Explorer on your phone.
2. We go to the following address: goo.gl/l5vi2
3. Click on the link "Zune Link" in the first post at the top.
4. Install the application.
5. Remove APN manually typed in the phone settings, if any we have (Settings-> Mobile Network-> Edit APN).
6. Run the application, wait a while and we have configured the phone.
7. Close the application.
Here is updated link for Network Setup from Nokia
I had to call Nokia as the previous links in threads did not work. they gave me updated link and I ran the app, power-cycled and sent MMS with no errors on phone. Please make sure you remove any APN settings before running the app, reboot after it detects your carrier. Enjoy, I hope this helps.The forum won't let me post a URL, you can email me directly [email protected] for link and maybe someone can post it
Anyone try this? Windows Phone on Straight Talk?
Mobile data (internet) works perfectly fine (and fast!) but I can't connect to live services . . . which kills the user experience of a Windows Phone. The Live services work over wifi, but when there is no wifi connection, the services, including marketplace, bing search, scout, etc simply refuse to connect.
Any thoughts on how I can correct this? I've tried everything I can think of and spent hours searching to no avail.
Any help is much appreciated.
Hi, I have the Lumia 800 on Straight talk and everything works perfect.
Make sure the apn setting are good.
Is Straight talk a network that gives you SIM card and no phone?
If it's a network that uses some other carrier's masts i.e. O2, Vodafone for example, then there is a solution to it.
How do you get your APN settings on your phone? Do you enter it manually?
Here is what will help you:
Once you connect to wifi to do whatever you wish and you complete using wifi, go to your network settings, mobile settings, then edit apn - enter your APN settings manually. I am not sure what Straighttalk APN settings are but you would surely find it somewhere.
After saving the APN settings, restart your phone but make sure wifi is switched off before you restart.
After the restart you will be able to use Live services with 3g.
However as soon as you reconnect to wifi, you will have to re-do the whole cycle each time in order to get Live services working on 3g again.
This might or might not work. I had exactly same issue on giffgaff. I have spent 3 months trying to figure out, flashed ROMs, hard resets, swapped carriers etc and finally have found this to be the way it works. I own a HTC Titan. Till today I thought, it was HTC's fault because I have ruled out carrier and MS for this. But if the above works for you then, it clearly isn't HTC's or carrier's fault but sure OS that keeps forgetting the APN. The reason this happens is because Straighttalk in your case and Giffgaff in my case, DO NOT have APN settings stored on their SIM cards. The OS doesn't seem to be configured to remember it. Ideally when you swap from wifi to 3g, your OS shouldn't have to read your SIM. However WP in current state seems to be reading SIM everytime you swap from wifi to 3g. However, when it can't find anything on the SIM i.e. APN settings, the live services won't work.
If this works, please please please drop me a PM as I don't use this Lumia forums at all. I have a Titan, so I wouldn't know. But if this works, I will have to write to WinPhone Support with whom I've been conversing for about a month now!!

Mind sharing what settings you're using? Also, are you using WP's built in APN tool or Nokia's Network setup?
APN is: att.mvno (all other fields are empty).
Using the built in WP APN under cellular in settings.
Tried the Nokia but it messed up the phone so I took it out.
Let me know if this helps.
I'm using my 800 on StraightTalk and have had the same issue. I found there are essentially 3 places where the APNs can be set up, and reboots must occur at the right time. (Win settings, ##634#, and Nokia tool)
it seems to be overly sensitive as to how they are configured. I must have reset this thing at least a half a dozen times before getting it to work. Ultimately, I ended up with the settings in all 3 places, but the sequence I did it in is Win Settings (network APN), ##634# (both network and MMS settings), a reboot, and then download the Nokia tool via WiFi and use it to enter the settings there for both network and MMS followed by another reboot. That issue is most definitely related to the APN settings, but I'm not quite certain why I had to do the hokey pokey to make it work. None-the-less, I hope this helps a little. Once you get it working, it seems to stick through reboots, wifi, or pretty much anything except swapping out the SIM card, which hosed everything up again.

Interesting. . . There doesn't seem to be anywhere to do that in the most up to date version of the diagnostics tool. (I know they changed a few things in the most recent update.)
I may have to restore to a previous version . . .
Thanks

I just activated my Straight Talk SIM yesterday (I was on T-Mobile's EDGE connection) and used Nokia's Network Setup tool to add, and make current, a new APN with att.mvno under the Internet APN's 'name' field. That's all I did, and data works fine (surprisingly, even on the RM-801 which doesn't have AT&T's 850MHz band).

How is call quality and what are your download/upload speeds. Been debating whether I should get a RM-819 device which is harder to obtain than a RM-801.
Hello. I just received my Nokia Lumia 920 yesterday. It is an International factory-unlocked version (920.1). It's not a dev phone or a Rogers unlocked phone. I cut my mini SIM to a micro SIM, put it in and it was working great (had to soft reset first though)! I do not have a data plan so I'm not worried about EDGE speeds. However, MMS messages are not being sent. Here is what I have tried to do to resolve this:
I went to Mobile Network. Data is off since I don't have any, highest speed is 3G (does this even matter, though, since I don't have data? Or will it affect my calls/messages?). Network Selection is on automatic. Then I went to Access Point. I pressed add. This is what I filled in:
Name: T-Mobile USA
Data Type: Default
Everything under the category Internet APN is blank
MMS Access Point Name: MMS
Username and Password are blank
Proxy address: 216.155.165.50
Port: 8080
MMSC address: can't post URLs... so I'm not sure how to let you guys know what I have here. I basically searched T-Mobile US MMS APN settings and used the MMSC address that was listed on almost every result.
Network type: IPv6 (I don't know what this is; the other options are IPv4 and IPv4v6)
There is no place where I can put the MMS APN (epc .tmobile .com). When I added this access point and enabled it, then did a soft reset, my MMS messages still won't send. Does anyone know how to fix this, or is it just not possible to send MMS messages from an unlocked Lumia 920 on T-Mobile USA? Thank you!
Can anyone help me with the APN settings please, I am in the UK, have been in touch with T-mobile / EE who really aren't helpful at all, it would be great to receive & send mms & haven't been able to do so for ages. I do apologise if this has been asked, I did scroll through a lot of pages.
go to settings - access point and activate mobile provider from list (if not activated) restart phone and mobile internet and MMS must working... in most case phone successfully load settings from SIM cards
or manually add new access point....
If seen some situations where the only way for it to fetch the apn for the card is to restore to factory defaults and with the card on the phone choose recomended settings on the first prompt. Try it if all else fails.
I finally got sick of having a locked bootloader, so I bought an unlocked Tmobile running nk2, rooted it, and cleaned up the bloatware with Titanium Backup. Now I'm looking at putting together a list of tips for using a G900T on AT&T. I've created the appropriate APN settings. If anyone with experience on this could weigh in with some things I should look out for or do proactively, it would be useful not only to me but to other AT&T users looking to get away from the AT&T locked bootloader. Thanks in advance for any advice.
Working APN settings
Here are the APN settings that are working great for me on AT&T. To set these, go to SETTINGS / MORE NETWORKS / MOBILE NETWORKS/ ACCESS POINT NAMES. Either create a new one using the "+" or edit the one you are using already.
NAME: smartphone
APN: phone
PROXY: not set
PORT: not set
USERNAME: not set
PASSWORD: not set
SERVER: not set
MMSC: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MULTIMEDIA MESSAGE PROXY: proxy.mobile.att.net
MULTIMEDIA MESSAGE PORT: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
AUTHENTICATION TYPE: not set
APN TYPE: default,mms,supl
APN PROTOCOL: IPv4
APN ROAMING PROTOCOL: IPv4
TURN APN ON/OFF: APN turned on
BEARER: unspecified
MOBILE VIRTUAL NETWORK OPERATOR TYPE: none
MOBILE VIRTUAL NETWORK OPERATOR VALUE: not set
The two items TURN APN ON/OFF: APN turned on and MOBILE VIRTUAL NETWORK OPERATOR VALUE: not set are ghosted out so I was unable to change them. In APN TYPE you should enter the information without any spaces after the commas.
How to root if your Tmobile s5 is already updated to nk2 or nh5
I used the instructions found here and it was super effective:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5/general/how-to-root-s5-firmware-knox-0x0-t2909352
Note: if you're not familiar with PC Odin, it will be good news to you that you don't have to install it. Just unzip it into a directory with the INI file and run it.
Good Post! I could have used this four months ago when I jumped to AT&T from T-Mo. I have not had any problems. The only thing I can think of is that I disabled wifi calling. I have had good success running international ROMs on it. I'm currently on BobCat Romhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/rom-bobcatromevov1-0ota-update-t2836665 ...Excellent...
I'm running Omega on my TMO S5 on AT&T. My APN is a little different but I've also tried the one posted above and get about the same results with either. The only other thing I did was download AT&T's Visual Voice Mail app. It's a great way to handle voicemail messages.
+1121611611 Error 122 Invalid Number
This is a problem that pops up for those of us who have started using a Tmobile s5 on AT&T--you start getting repeated texts that say "+1121611611 Error 122 Invalid Number". The problem appears to be brought about when you use a phone from one carrier on another carrier.
I found a fix for this at http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/help/error-invalid-text-reboot-t2865399
Short version: turn off/disable the visual voicemail app.
Here is the relevant text from that page:
PROBLEM: I recently switched from T-Mobile to AT&T, bringing over my unlocked T-Mobile Galaxy S4 (not rooted, running stock android, got the SIM unlock code from T-Mobile). After fiddling with the APN settings everything seems to be working fine, except every time I reboot I get the following text message:
From: +1121611611
122 Error Invalid Number. Please re-send using a valid 10 digit mobile number or valid short code. Activate:dt=15
Any ideas? I first saw this error text the first time I rebooted my phone after switching the SIM card to AT&T, and I get the same text whenever I reboot my phone now.
SOLVED: This was being caused by the T-Mobile Visual Voicemail app. Disabling the app fixed the problem.
Sticky this maybe?
Mods, do you think this is worth getting "sticky" status?

Thanks for the input. Flashing a ROM may be more advanced than I can address here, and may be more advanced than some of the people just looking for a "how do I get this working?" thread.
How to turn off WIFI calling
2.Tap Settings.
3.Scroll to 'NETWORK CONNECTIONS,' then tap More networks.
4.Tap the Wi-Fi Calling Switch to Off.
I also used Titanium Backup to freeze:

I've been my old AT&T SIM carrier on a new TMob S5 for about two weeks -- It's rooted and has Custom Recovery. I froze about 100 Bloats w/ Titanium Backup - installed Wanam to tweak it - and am getting an amazing +/- 0.5%/Hr battery usage on Stock 4.4.2!!! (No gaming or social networking, etc) So, I'm VERY pleased and also chose this route to get away from AT&T's bootloader lock policy.
Only one question: I notice an image of a fliptop phone on my AT&T account page. It used to show a pic of my S3. Is there some file I can edit on the phone to get it to show up as an S5 ? Maybe the build.prop or something?

My AT&T profile also shows a random flip type phone. It must simply be a result of using a non-AT&T phone. I haven't bothered trying to change it.
I'd LOVE to be able to put a caption on the AT&T site with a pic of the S5, something like "TMobile - S5 - Unlocked Bootloader"
(I've got a somewhat sick sense of humor)

I too got tired of the 900A having a locked bootloader. My buddy recently left Tmobile for Verizon so he had 2 S5's lying around gathering dust. Bought them from him. Sold my ATT S5 on ebay and haven't looked back. Actually still have one that I'm not using. If anyone is interested. Was gonna list it on ebay, but would rather have someone who knows the struggle of a locked bootloader get their hands on it.

GEEEEEEEZ -- and I thought the "feature" of having a locked bootloader was to prevent someone from stealing it LOL (That's probably what some folks believe -- that it's a wonderful upgrade to provide more "security" enhancements for your own good . . ., or whatever . . .)
I'm just finding a lot of new "features" and "up" grades annoying . . . and feeling a little crotchety this morning
