Hey guys, I just came off of the Galaxy Note to the S3. I never keep the data option enabled all day because of the battery drain, plus I just manually update all my sync'd apps anyway so there's no need for it to drain my battery & use up my pre paid credits at the same time.
My problem is this. With the galaxy note when I would go to either send or receive an MMS I wouldnt have to have my data connection permanently on. It would automatically enable the connection to send or recieve the incoming MMS, download the pic for me then automatically disconnect it when it was done. No muss no fuss. The GS3 does not automatically enable data to retrieve ur messages, you instead get a little download button in ur text you have to click. Problem is even after I enable data and click download to retrieve my mms, 95% of the time nothing happens, no activity is shown that the pic is actually being downloaded and you just end up staring at the screen for an hour until you get bored and turn it off, without your mms.
Is there a setting somewhere or something I can hack that will turn on the feature that will automatically enable data to retrieve your mms just like I had on the note? Its a bit hard to believe they'd have it on there then disable it on their brand new one. Not everyone likes to have data on all day :|
Thanks guys
Do you have Auto-Retrieve set to on in the messaging app? Just checking.
Check you apn settings

Find APN setting for your network provider. In apn type, type in 'mms' without quot

mms is already in the APN section. The settings were sent to my phone after I put my sim card in. Looks like there mightn't be a fix for this... :|

Hey, I had the same problem and I just fixed it. it will take you about 10 seconds.
1. go to mobile networks in wireless and networks.
2. choose access point names
3. menu button and choose New APN.
4. Im on AT&T so this is what I put (may be different if you have some other carrier)
Name: ATT PHONE
APN: Phone
that's all you have to put, everything else will already have values in there so dont change them.
5. once youre done with this just choose the APN you just created and your MMS will work.
**If you have a carrier other than AT&T then maybe this will work exactly the same, just find a phone with the same carrier and copy what's already there.
Thanks for the tip jon, however it still didnt work for me

Oh, that explains it. you could probably use the same method but copy the info from another phone using the Optus network. for example, here in the US, AT&T has several settings that I can choose from so if one doesn't work I can switch to another (which I did by inputting the info manually)
Maybe Optus has more than one setting so you can just use another. borrow a smartphone from someone and see what settings they have, if its different than what you're using now, try the one they have.
Hi
I also have this issue but it is important to note that there is nothing wrong with the MMS settings. The problem is caused by the S3 requiring Mobile Networking to be active to send and receive MMSs, but I choose to keep Mobile Network disabled unless I specifically wish to use it.
On my previous mobile of another make, even with Mobile Network disabled, the network would come to life to send and receive MMSs and then switch off again. The S3 does not behave this way and needs the Mobile Network to be specifically enabled manually.
This is an irritation! I would love to know if anyone has a fix or workround for this.
So.. there isn't a work around because its how they designed the phone eh. Is it something that they can tweak in a custom rom? Or do I just have to wait until the release the new galaxy note and hope they they put it back in again?

are you on AT&T? If so, with the Galaxy S the problem is not with your phone's settings but on AT&T's end. turns out that sometimes your phone just disconnects from their network and they have to reset it--takes the only about 2 minutes to do over the phone.
It's on US Cellular, calling then would fix it though?

Im not sure how US Cellular works. I have AT&T. before you called them you can check your settings and make sure mobile data is turned on and you can also check your APN settings. on my GS2 I have 2 settings for APN, one is AT&T the other is Cingular. on my Wife's GS3 she was having MMS issues so I added a second APN to her phone and it worked--for a while then it happened again, called AT&T and it was something on their end.

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)?

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.

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?

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.

Make sure you have data enabled whenever you receive one.
Data has been enabled with every APN. I've also rebooted after I switch APNs, and then verified that they remained after the phone starts back up. Any form of troubleshooting regarding every basic setting has been attempted.

so i have just switched over to straight talk and i also have a samsung vibrant from tmo, on froyo. how did you get your data working? ive tried teakker, etc. and nothing has worked for me. i really dont want to root my phone but im thinking thats another option so that i can change the apn options somehow and use what the other straight talk tmo users are using (which is not what they give you on the activation card)
feel so helpless
I have been thinking of going to straight talk, couple questions
1. Do you have to request a tmo sim card from straight talk?
2. Do you need to be unlocked?
3. Do they charge activation?
I didn't mean to "hijack" ur thread but I figured you guys could answer this. Thanks

Hey everyone, I've been looking around the forum for different solutions but can't find anything. I just switched to the optimus g from an iPhone, now I can't get any Mms from anyone. I can send them to no problem but can't receive any, no fixes from the forums here or online have been able to help. I'm running the stock os and using go sms.
What have you tried??
First move is to check, double check apn settings.

I've tried different apps as a messaging service, changes all the different settings for Mms. I've made sure all my apn settings are correct and manually entered them in to go sms. I've even called my provider and they haven't been able to help.
Is data enabled in the connectivity-> mobile networks settings?
I also see your carrier is Telus? Are you using an E970?
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
You probably forgot to turn data on. With the iPhone, it's always on unless you turn it off so you probably don't think of it. But yeah, to get MMS, you have to have data on, just like on the iPhone

Have you check in the Canadian forum? There may be something specific to the E973 device or to Telus (carrier help desks can be far from helpful), that someone in that forum knows about.
I would check with the carrier again also. My aunt got a new phone and couldn't receive mms. Took at&t a couple days to figure out exactly what was wrong (which was something with how her account was set up that was beyond the level of the store people and L1 tech support).
These are the settings I am using are they wrong? I have tried many settings but none seem to work. I am not sure if anyone is using their Z Ultra on t-mobile but I keep getting sign in to t-mobile network error as you see in the notification at the time of one or two of the screen shot. Thanks.

I had TMobile on my Z3c for a little bit. There was a setting that I had to change from the reccomended APN settings to get MMS to work. I want to say the IPv4 had to be selected and not both or 6 under APN protocol.
I'm having this exact same issue but with AT&T. My APN settings appear to be perfect but I can't send or receive picture messages on my wife's phone. I've tried it on LTE and on WiFi. I also tried different messaging apps too.

My settings are already ipv4 for both. I tried toggling it to 4 and 6 and no change.

Wow? I'm on T-Mobile usa too and it's not working. Are you using the stock software? Would you mind screen shooting the rest of your APN or just typing in what your using so I can try and replicate please?
In the end, I had to call ATT to get mine working. We reviewed my APN settings (which were all correct) and then she tried "pushing an update" to the phone and it magically worked. I think they had something blocked on their side.
