I've searched to the best of my ability and can't find much help. My problem is that when I'm any custom ROM (tried about 5 including CM7, CM9 and RootBox JB) I must manually switch APNs when I get a MMS message. So for example, if I receive a picture message, I have to go into my APN setting and manually select my MMS APN, then go back to my messaging app and hit download. Then once it downloads, I have to go back into my APN setting and switch back to my internet APN. On the stock ROM this was not the case. I have all the correct settings, I'm absolutely sure. I've tried editing the apns-conf.xml file to add my carriers settings. Tried flashing without the sim card in. Can't seem to get it to work. I'd really appreciate any help you guys can provide.

I assume you mean combine the two APN settings. I've tried that. All that does is leave me without internet or mms capabilities.
Seriously? what provider do you have? I'm guessing since you're in the USA judging by the american flag in your profile that you're on ATT or straight talk? Telling us what provider you have would help quite a bit..
Edit, I thought help me, help me I'm dying questions belong in the QnA forums?
Sorry, knew I was forgetting something. My carrier is Viaero. I live in the middle of nowhere in Colorado so its basically the only option. AT&T doesn't cover our area. And now this isn't an urgent issue, just something that kind of annoying. All I was looking for were some ideas on how to remedy the situation, so I thought general would be more appropriate.
Post both apns please
I've verified these with Viaero and with another SII running stock. also had an unlocked iPhone before which these worked with. Another side note, on custom roms if I put in the "APN TYPE" I get neither internet nor MMS. So I have to leave those blank to get it to work at all.

Did you ever figure this out? I have the same issue.
For MMS Part .... change port number "9401" to just blank
I recently Tried to use my ATT SIM with my Dinc4G, I had to add an APN but it worked 100%, Voice and Data.
When I went back to my Verizon SIM, I found I had no data...
It hasn't come back at all for a couple days now, when I reset t o defualt APN I see the Verizon APN and even got screenshots of the settings
Problem is it changes back to some APN with wrong settings almost immediately, and I cannot change that APN.
Adding New a New APN causes that APN to disappear, and the name of the locked one to change. The information is still wrong, can't be changed and I have no data...
At a loss here, can't figure out whats happening. I even put my SIM in my Galaxy Nexus... and THAT didn't have a data connection either....
Are you rooted?
I've had the same problem after testing out an AT&T SIM, and there seems to be something wrong with the way Dinc4 tries to reset APN data to defaults.
There might be a better/easier/more proper way to fix it, but the only one I found was to edit APN database directly using a SQLite editor. Obviously, needs root access for that.
If you are, in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases check telephony.db and cdmaapn.db files.

I've done some searching and didn't happen to run across anyone that was having a similar problem. Originally, I thought this might be a StraightTalk/Verizon issue, but I've confirmed that one of my family members with ST T-Mobile can text with Verizon folks just fine. So let me dive into the details...
I've had my StraightTalk T-Mobile sim card for about a week now. I activated it without any problems, set up the APN and everything seemed to be working just fine. I've been texting with a few family members and some co-workers without issues. My data and voice calls are all working fine as well.
I went to text a friend that has Verizon post paid service and he never got my text. So I sent a few more without success, then tried to text my own Verizon number (since my account is still active for the moment) and I never received my own text either. He sent me a text message that I received just fine though, but again he didn't get my response. Just to further test, I send an MMS message to myself and my friend on Verizon and that came through just fine, so it appears that all texting capabilities work with the following carriers (AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, ST T-Mobile) with the exception of regular SMS to Verizon.
Here are my APN settings:
Name: StraightTalk T-Mobile
APN: wap.tracfone
Proxy: Not set
Port: 8080
Username: Not set
Password: Not set
Server: Not set
MMSC: http:**mms.tracfone.com (replace ** with //, since I can't post links)
MMS Proxy: Not set
MMS Port: Not set
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
Authentication Type: Not set
APN Type: default,supl,mms
APN Protocol: IPv4
Bearer: Unspecified
About the phone... I purchased an AT&T Note (sgh-i717) and unlocked it myself. The unlock was successful but I was only getting edge data since T-Mobile has re-farmed the towers in my area yet. So, I installed CWM and flashed the Blaze4G radios. I'm now getting consistent signal and H+ speed (4-8 mbps avg, 14 mbps peak). The only other thing I had to change was that my phone number wasn't showing up in the About Phone -> Status section, so I went into the dialer -> Settings -> Additional Settings -> My Phone Number and set it there in the format of xxx-xxx-xxxx. I also just flashed the T-Mobile VKL1 radio as well but no change in my sms issue.
I'm a bit lost at this point on why everything else would work except for sending sms to Verizon but yet I can receive them from Verizon just fine. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Texts aren't immediate when the network is busy. Sometimes the delay can be several hours.
None of my Verizon messages are ever delivered, some from 3-4 days ago. I called Straight Talk tech support and they are tracing some of my messages. One of the things they thing might be wrong is the message center number that is configured in my phone but they didn't want to change it until after they could do further research.
Update: Confirmed the smsc is correct, so that doesn't appear to be the issue.
Just a follow up in case anyone else ever had an issue similar... a T-Mobile technician called me today, they found out Verizon had blocked my cell phone number from their network. After the tech got the ban lifted, texting is working just fine.

That's interesting. And it sucks. You could have spent hours\days working on something you could never fix. Did they give any reason for your block? Glad you got it worked out.
Those apn dont look right to me....im on st with my.note and.no problems.

You'll want to flash the T-Mobile ROM in the development section. Follow the instructions carefully.

I just purchased a used AT&T I777 and activated it with Straight Talk. Everything works great except for the fact that it fails to download picture messages. It was originally on 4.0.4. I just upgraded it to 4.1.2 and it still fails to download pictures. I can send them without any problem. I'm using the APN settings that Straight Talk gave me. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm hoping I'm not out $300.
I was just told by the person I bought the phone from that straight talk has issues with AT&T phone. Would it work to root the phone and put a different version of android on it?
One more thing I need to know. I have the option of sending this phone back (minus a 20% restocking fee). If I decide to root the phone and put a custom rom on it, can I restore it back to original so that I can send it back without issues?

I tried putting my APN settings up but the site wont let me. Guess I'm too new.
Are your Straight Talk APN settings correct?
Proxy=proxy.mvno.tracfone.com
Port=80
MMSC=http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS=66.209.11.33
MMS port=80
MCC=310
MNC=410
APN type=mms,supl
Don't know if the APN type data is important or not. These are the settings that work on my I777.
APN settings
Those aren't even close to the APN settings that I have. I tried yours but they wouldnt work.
Name= StraightTalk ATT
APN= att.mvno
Port= 80
MMSC= http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS= 66.209.11.33
MMS port= 80
MCC= 310
MNC= 410
APN type= default,mms,internet,supl,hipri
Try these apn settings. They worked for one of my friends s3. (The supl and hipri help speed up the internet a bit)
Just rechecked my APN type entry.
APN type=default,supl,mms,web
Not sure what happened
I was sitting here going thru other sites looking for solutions when all my pic messages started coming in. I didnt change anything but its working now. Thanks for the suggestions
I tried with the default T-mobile AP, which is the old one, and I tried the new one. When neither of those worked, I called T-MO and got their help. They created a new AP using the new settings (fast.t-mobile.com). It also didn't work. Anyone get MMS to work on T-MO?
adding mms to APN type worked for me.
APN Type:
default, supl, mms
Thanks for helping. Didn't work but I appreciate trying.
Here's what I had to do to get it working:
First, reset the APN settings to default.
Then, add mms to APN type.
Next, clear the setting for server.
Then add the mmsc.
Then it worked.

Weird that you had to do anything at all. I got the phone, inserted my SIM, rebooted, went through the setup wizard and was good to go.
Finally!

Worked for me. You rock!
This happened to me when I first used the phone with AT&T as my carrier. AT&T couldn't determine the issue and are still investigating it. I ended up doing a factory reset and it fixed it.
Im having some issues on the subject, that i cannot really figure out..
I have a Asus Padfone X Mini (T00S) and i cannot send MMS texts on the epc.tmobile.com APN,
i have tried messing around adding this and that, but all my attempts to send a MMS have failed
supl,mmsc and everything i have tried failed.
I would appreciate it if you would please send me a screen shot from you apn settings and also explain what is happening
Im fairly new to the APN system
