Hi
Please check your APN settings. Use your carrier support pages to find the correct mms settings...or you could try to reset the APN settings to default.
Good luck

Ok, I'll give it a shot at doing a quick walkthrough...
Go to "Setting". You'll be looking at "Wireless & Networks" and see "Wifi", "Bluetooth" "Data usage" and finally "More..."
Tap "More..." and choose "Mobile networks". Here you'll see "Access Point Names". Tap there and you'll now presented with your carriers APN's for your on-line and MMS settings. My carrier (Telia in Sweden) reads: online.telia.se and mms.telia.se. You should be looking at something similar with your carrier brands name.
Now it's time to head over to your carriers homepage and search for MMS settings. When you've found them, tap on "your-carriers-name MMS"
Now compare the settings on your phone to the one on your carriers home page and change whatever differs in the present APN settings on your phone and for heavens sake, don't forget to save! :fingers-crossed: You'll be able to save your new settings by tapping the symbol to the left of "Home"-button on your phone.
Now back your way out oh the settings with the arrow key and wait for a brief moment while your phone is connecting with the new settings.
I hope this will take you along the way to a happy MMS-ing
Good luck and be patient
/A

Help with APN settings/mms settings how to edit them

How can I change my mms settings. when I open messages and the click settings then click connection settings it shows the settings but will not let me edit them can anyone help with this thank you
I belive there is a way to edit these settings via cdma workshop but i dont know too much about that
I cant get the phone to connect to the work shop
Does anybody know if they have rooted this phone yet I read the forum about it it does seem like they have yet
Root is a work in progress.
What are you messing with your settings for? if your having issues just run *288 and let it do it. if that doesnt work use the RUU Update, and then reprogram your phone and use *288
I cant I have the Eris running on Cricket I have the phone, internet, text and the market running great but would like to have mms
How did you get it running on cricket? Didnt you have to flash stuff for that work, if so please post me links asap. It will inevideably lead to root.

no, as above, edit security settings in epst
uhhh, yoo hooo! guys, the htc based android phones are dirt simple to program for use on another network..
I've had my eris running full on alltel over two months now with the unl. data plan. Never looses 3G, alltels 3G coverage is wicked sweet.
Getting Voice & SMS working:
Get current .PRL file for your network(alltel, sprint, vzw, cricket, etc..), google for it. Mount your phone thru USB, drag the PRL to the root of the SD card.
Unmount
Dial##PRL
Enter SPC code
Select PRL from SD
Restart Phone
Activate phone with your carrier, lie about what phone it is, i told alltel i'm a Samsung Delve, a phone they have.
They'll tell you to *228 it, this will work perfectly after you've programmed the PRL described above.
Hang up with them.
Getting data to work:
Dial ##PST send.
Enter SPC code
Go to security...
Google for those settings for your carrier and enter all that is asked for in that menu screen.
Do nothing else, restart the phone.
Now, setting up MMS on the Eris is a pain, I still can't get it.
When going to Messages, Settings, Connection settings, ... i am not allowed to edit those settings, they're stuck at vzw values.
IF .. and ONLY if I install the "quick settings" app in the market, disable mobile network, THEN go to messages, connection settings, .. i can now edit those values and change them to alltel's mms addresses... go home, them go back into messages, connection settings, all is saved, good. If I go and re-enable mobile network, ... the mms connection settings switch back to vzw... GAHH!!!

It's probably just allowing you to input settings but unable to save them due to lack of permissions. Looks like MMS is screwed until root gets here :\
how do you get web working on crickets network ive change the settings from the security but still no luck.

[SOLVED][Q] Updated APN, now can't connect to network

I updated my APN to help with an MMS problem I am having, but it didn't work. Rolling back my changes didn't help either, so I had to reset my APN list back to default. (using the option in the APN list).
Now my phone won't even connect to the network (I'm on O2-UK), to make and receive calls.
I've tried a nandroid restore and still no luck. Any ideas?
Regards
Darren
Apn settings do not affect calls. Any either other changes you have made?

Figured it out. After ringing O2 to ask them about part of the APN setting, there call-centre TROLL then marked my phone as Stolen/Lost. I found this out by LiveChatting to one of their UK operative on the O2 website and he confirmed my phone was listed as Stolen or Lost and would rectify it straight away (after taking some important data from me).
Thanks anyway chaps, could we close the question now?
Darren
What a muppet!!! As long as your sorted now.
Edit your thread title to put [SOLVED] at the start of it, doesn't need closing down.

APN wont save

I have a new what i was told is an unlocked atrix on the sasktel network. i can call and text but i can't save my apn settngs to get my internet working. the wifi works fine but not the network one. please help, my provider won't
What are your current APN settings? Go to Settings >Wireless & networks > Mobile Networks>Access Point Names
Neither will mine. Unlocked Bell Atrix on MTS.
I have no APNs listed, and they never show up once saved.
Not sure what other network settings are..but I'm unlocked on Telus and my apn settings are: sp.telus.com
When I first entered them I had so.telus.com and had phone and SMS but no mobile data until I realized my typo.

Hello buddy,
i had the same problem and the solution that i found is to set a new apn and just set the following choices
1. Name
2. Apn
3. port
All other choices left blank.
I did that and it works perfect.

Tried that.....i can enter all the settings that is fine. but as soon as i click the menu button to "save" it goes back to the main page and shows no APN settings saved
Are you rooted?
If yes try to change the /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/telephony.db add the apn in there
no i am not rooted i did not want to do that till i knew i got everything running.
I tried and tried to get the Bell Atrix to work.
APN Manager: no luck
Network Info II: no effect when settings changed either in OS or APN manager.
Whenever an APN was typed in, it would "save" (proven by APN Manager) but not be selectable, it just disappears once menu-save.
Returned it and purchased a Nexus S, took all of a minute to get data working.

Perhaps i didn't explain correct.
Make a new apn change the first four choices and left the other unchanged(not blank)

i am rooted now. can you explain this method a little bit for me
i cant just change the first four because the MCC and the mnc are not registering i have to enter them manually. my provider says it is not reading them from the sim card for some reason. i rooted the phone now. i am going to try getting into it from there
The easiest way I found was download SQLite editor. Its a few dollars. Then open it and click yes for root. Go to dialer storage then telephony.DB. then carriers. Add your apn to the list. If eceything is correct it should work. If the phone does not read the mcc then you may be screwed though.

(all settings I left blank, leave blank, make sure you press menu, save to save)</br>
2) Enable Airplane Mode
(hold power button for three seconds, select Airplane Mode)
3) Open Root Explorer
4) Navigate to: /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/
5) Click on "telephony.db"** (this should open the db using SQLite Editor)
6) Select "carriers"
7) You should see a long list of APN settings for various carriers, Push the menu key to bring up the menu. Then goto new record and fill out the details from there. Make sure that the _id is sequential from the other records.
8) Press back twice to close the SQLite editor and you should be back in Root Explorer. Close Root Explorer.
9) Disable Airplane Mode

to keep root and install custom rom if that is also what you fancy

S2 can call and text but cant connect on mobile data.

I rooted and flashed my GF's SGS2 with wanamlite 13.0 ROM and its perfect.. but now, she called me and asked why she cant connect on the internet using mobile data.
No signal indictors like 'E', 'G' or 'H' are showing even she enabled the mobile data and neither changing GSM to CDMA vice versa worked.
She has also tried restarting the phone, searching the network operator and choosing the right one but to no avail. Her sister also has the same network provider but she doesnt have any problems on the mobile data.
Is it possible that it is a Phone defect? I really doubt it since she can do text and call using her SGS2.. Im confused >.<
PS: I've already tried searching this kind of question so please, dont post 'letmegooglethatforyou' links. Thank you.
First thing you do is go to the carriers website & get APN settings, write them down & check the APN settings on the phone. If there are APN settings on the phone but they're different in any way to the ones you got from the carrier's website, change them. If there aren't any on the phone (in settings/mobile networks/access point names), these need to be entered, make sure APN type is set to default.

Thank you for your wonderful advice..
Im so stressed that I even forgot that there is an APN settings needed (I swear that it is automatic in my own S2).
Anyways, I'll call her once again and try to work things out.. I hope she can understand and follow how to check/change the APN.
Will update once done.
Thanks again!
No probs Post again once you've checked/put the correct APN settings in if it's still not working & we'll nut it out further.

Straight talk on i605

I've had an issue crop up every now and then esp if i switch roms. Right now I'm running the nameless 5.0 ROM t0lte on my i605 and sometimes it gets stuck on edge. Here's some help with getting 4g back.
Go to phone dialer and type *#*#4636#*#*
Should take you to a special menu. Click the top selection should be phone info.
Select band as in attached image.
Also go into settings where you change apn and make sure APN info looks like attached files. Then goto network operators and search for.. Try one of the at&t ones.
This should work

****NOOB Question**** I just bought a Sch-I605 from a friend and had it switched from VzW to Straight Talk, ive rooted using ghettoroot method (Super Shotout to the creator of it because it made at least rooting on 442 ND7 easy as pie!) right now i have not done much else to it is there somewhere that can show me the best settings for my phone/ maby also by area/ how would i know what the best settings for me are? if possible can someone point me in the right direction to learn more about what i am looking for ( im not even sure if i am asking the correct questions) id like optimal apn settings and id like to learn how to verify / can i switch from stock VZw settings to another as far as my data profile ?/ where can i find out how to gain unlimited data for my particular model and phone any help would be greatly appreciated .
also the dialer code *#*#4636#*#* did nothing ... the only thing i truly can assume about that part is i did something wrong is there a list of dialer codes?
** also if i am in the wrong forum / area i truly apologize for that where can i ask new to android dev questions id love to learn more not just to do it but also to know why im doing it.
***I TOTALLY apologize for the terrible grammar mistakes self-improving is time consuming***
