it doesnt really helps, APN´s are not automatic all the time, depends on the carrier

MMS from TMN Portugal not working on HTC with Windows Phone 7

Hi!
I just wanted to tell people that MMS configuration for the network TMN Portugal on HTC devices running Windows Phone 7 such as HTC HD7, HTC 7 Mozart, HTC 7 Trophy... is not working! It's not possible to send or receive MMS messages on HTC devices with TMN Portugal but mobile internet works fine.
I haven't find a solution until now, because using manual configuration of the APN won't solve the problem either. HTC knows the problem exists since the launch day of their devices and have done nothing to solve this! Its been several months now...
The culprit is probably the HTC Connection Setup application that don't have the right settings for TMN Portugal. Using Vodafone Portugal or Optimus Portugal SIM cards on the HTC devices works fine and these can send and receive MMS messages.
This should be relatively simple to solve, with an update on the Connection Setup application, but its really very annoying that HTC is not doing anything to solve this!

The big question is; will they ever do anything about it?
Remember the time zone problem? They never fixed it...
Hi! I sure hope they will fix this! I have been bothering the HTC support for a while but they are stating they know the problem, but still have nothing that can solve it!
What a wreck
just go into the htc hub
tap get more
slide to aplications and tap more
install connection Setup an run it
tested it myself, working mms with optimus
good luck

I don't think you have read my first post... The MMS configuration of HTC Connection Setup app works great with Optimus and Vodafone but NOT with TMN.
yep.. that sliped me by.. sorry about that
Hi,
what how do you configure the mms for vodafone?
Since the default isn't working for me...
hi there? any news about mms on TMN?

You have missed Proxy server/URL.
No need to do it that way, just use that HTC app from market, connection manager or something like that (configurador de ligação in PT). Choose your network and voilá!
Only problem i have is that this only works if my data connection is set to "ON", if not.. MMS are not sent (or received..)
And having in mind that portuguese networks data plans are so expensive.. It means no MMS on my phone
Android had the option to disable data but mms would still work, i guess im going back to it, even if that makes me sad =/
EDIT: Android has the option and for WinMo 6.5 we had that wonderful app called NoData, i miss it now xD

[Q] Optus SGS2 MMS issue 'downloading'

Hi all,
Any Optus branded SGS2 owners here having issues recieving MMS from Vodafone numbers. - hope im not the only one lol
I have had my phone for about 2 weeks now and till this day cannot send or recieve MMS from people on the Vodafone network. I can send and recieve MMS fine from Optus, Telstra, 3, Virgin but nothing from vodafone.
I have called Optus about this issue, its been over 2 weeks now and they still cannot resolve the issue! if i put my SIM card in any other phone and enter the correct Optus APNs it works fine (can recieve and send MMS to vodafone). I have checked/re-checked/deleted and re-entered the Optus MMS APNs about 20 times now as instructed by Optus and still not luck!
Here are some screen shots to give you guys a better picture.
Vodafone recieve MMS shows up as 'Download' but never downloads!
hxxp://img231.imageshack.us/img231/7726/vodafoneg.jpg
Telstra Recieve's fine
hxxp://img198.imageshack.us/img198/8295/telstraj.jpg
And any other provider seems to be fine.
No matter what i do i cannot download the MMS from vodafone numbers nor do they recieve my MMS.
Anyone else have this issue?
Exact same issue here. No idea what to do.
I am on AT&T, and having the same problem.
I had this problem for ages with all MMS and found it actually worked when I turned wifi off and just had mobile data networks on and hit "download".
Worth a try at least if you haven't...
I had this issue too. If I had mobile data off and an MMS was sent to me, the msg would be stuck in 'downloading' and I could never receive it even after turning data on and off, restarting the phone, killing the process and reopening it etc. There was no way to manually retrieve it. My fix is;
1) Open messaging
2) Hit menu button -> Settings
3) Untick Auto-retrieve.
Now all MMS's appear with a download button. Simply enable mobile data, hit download and voila!

x10i gingerbread 2.3 doesnt send sms ... only receive on t-mobile usa :/

i updated my x10i to 2.3 and everything was great and i could send and recieve sms.
after a day of having gingerbread now i cant send any sms but i can receive. every time i send its stuck on "sending". if i reboot my phone it does send it though but on the 1 sms that was in queue for sending.
then i installed wolf's rooted 2.3 and everything was working again but on the second day it started happening again and i cant send sms again, only receive.
im on t-mobile usa..
PLEASE HELP!
I'm on T-Mobile USA and haven't had any issues with SMS since the GB 2.3.3 came out. Well, I'm unsure yet if I can receive full sized mms (always a problem with TMO on non-TMO phones)
It's a silly thing to double check, but have you downloaded the APN settings for Tmobile USA? If you don't, the default 'Telkilla" or whatever it's called is on. I can still get 3G on TMO usa with it...
Go to settings, click on 'Sony Ericsson' (very first one), and then click on "Settings download"
To double check: go to settings, click on "Wireless & network settings", click on "Mobile networks", click on "APNs"
Problem solved.
My sim card got screwed up so I replaced it with a new one.
After leaving my old Sony with this sim card in the washing machine las year I'm surprised it worked till today lol.
Thanks anyway=]
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

You need to set up your wireless apn go to:
menu/settings/wireless & networks/mobile networks/network mode/gsm/wcdma preferred (click it)
Then Back button/Back button/sony ericsson/settings download then wait a few you will see it (3g/H) flash on (you do not have to click it it's just saying that is your network) then go to:
Back button/wireless & networks/mobile networks/access point name. there should be two apns
one wireless/one mmsc. if for some reason you have three make sure that the top one (the house icon 3g) is checked or you will be roaming
And always remember to backup your Settings and APNs,and anything else you need to keep. There are free apps on the market to do that but the pro/key versions have more settings and help the developers and no adware. Hope this helps if not all be here tomorrow or i'm sure someone else will help too i do have some apns just tell us what network your on an we can help you set them up. Good luck
well i did every thing that you told me and i got an epc.tmobile.com and an wap.voicestream.com but still not sending out texts and i am on the tmobile
Figured it out it was my visual voice box from tmobile turned it off and they started sending again so if anyone else has the same problem as me try that

[Q] Roaming problems on the S2

I have a problem with roaming.
I am on MTS who has joined with Rogers network.
On stock ROM: 2-6-35-7-i9100xwkf3-cl276555 rootdell101 #2
I go to the US
Phone works on roaming
Can receive SMS
Cannot send SMS - Send fails
I have since rooted and installed Alienware 2-6-35-11 ninphetamine 2.1.3 xxkh3
I go to the US
Phone has 4/5 bars and can't get on network to roam
can't send/receive SMS
when dialing get the Mobile network unavailable message
My wife's samsung galaxy S i897 works fine -
Swapping SIMs with her yields the same failures on my S2 with her SIM.
In both cases, crossing the border home fixes the problem and life is grand.
I have tried:
1.enabling data roaming
2.rebooting
3.battery pull
4.swapping sims
Is anyone else having similar roaming issues - is there a ROM that actually works while roaming from Canada while in the US?
I have seen problems on my old Galaxy S and my wife's similar to this as when trying different ROMS, but have never gone across the border with any of these ROMS installed.
What I've seen with different ROMS is:
1. sometimes cannot get phone to get on network unless I setup the APN settings first
2. sometimes cannot get phone or data to work without enabling roaming mode. The phone actually says it's roaming even when it's on the home network
Is there anything I'm missing in the forums on this issue?
Thanks for the help
hmm, maybe you've tried, but have you checked if the APN list is accurate ?
i believe there is an app to set the APN on the market ( can't remember the name though, never had the need for it.)
or try to google if you can find the APN setting of your network provider.
Seem like an APN problem to me as you explain it.
on the phone, you can access that with :
Settings >> Mobile networks >> Access Point Names and then the details of each APN can be checked/edited.

Whatsapp refuses to work over data only wifi

Hello all,
Im running the latest Omega rom and Ive noticed that Whatsapp refuses to work over data (3G) connection even if other application are not so picky. Whatsapp works as supposed with wifi connection, Please help. Several people asked this over the internet, but nobody answered.

I had the same problem not only with whatsapp but also with viber etc. I fixed it by creatin my APN settings manually.
Settings/Mobile Network/Connection Settings than tap home buttons left key / New APN
you can ask APN settings to your cell provider.
Usually it's not the cause of Whatsapp but your provider blocking it.
Many (if not most) providers are either incapable or unwilling to use transparent packet inspection (not necessarely Layer-7) and rely on the phone to have a Proxy server configured in the APN.
Interestingly exactly this proxy is usually not even given in the configuration details.
Some providers (such as mine) even attempt to do their bandwith throttling via the proxy. I don't complain since I don't use it =)
But other applications are ok with this default configuration. And Whatsapp in my HTC phone worked ok on 3G data with default settings...
later edit - found the solution 4 the problem, when flashed the new omega rom, it put all the APN profiles my provider has, including some ****ty MMS and WAP APNs. After I deleted those and left only the Internet APN, things got back in normal.

Just restor APN to default
I too had a problem in whatsaap with my Galaxy SIII - O2 germany network. Whatsapp was not working on mobile net but was super fine on wifi. I restored APN to default then it again fine.
Whatsapp application problem
Hi all,
I am using samsung galaxy s duos.I am unable to send messages through whatsapp when I am using aircel network,other networks it is working fine.Is that the problem with aircel n/w or whatsapp application.If any suggestions pls give me replies......http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/confused.gif
Also had a problem with WhatsApp messages not being delivered when on 3G but they would on Wifi. I thought it was something to do with droidwall but the resetting off APN settings makes sense.
I shall try that and hopefully it works.
Okay resetting the APN's did not work.
I am running Omega Rom and Jkay but this happened when I ran stock as well.
On 3G messages will sometimes come through immediately, sometimes not. They will always come through on Wifi. They will also come through if I open Whatsapp. Not sure if it is ISP related but when I had a Nokia on same ISP I never had this problem.
Does anyone know if something in Droidwall would be blocking this?
Thanks!
I was having problems since yesterday with my phone. Even not having the S3, one quick look here and found the solution. Thanks.

Go to Mobile manager>Data usage>control app data usage. Scroll down to Whatsapp and tick mobile data box.
This worked on my android phone.
