[Q] Configuration Messages on CM10 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
My network operator uses configuration message to let you use Mobile Data
so i sent a message to 250 with the word "set" as i always did on the Samsung Stock Rom
but with the CM10, I didn't receive anything
and in the message app on the samsung stock rom when i click the menu button, there was an option for managing Configuration Messages
but that's seems to be missing on CM10
{Q} Is CM10 able to use Configuration message somehow or what ?!

The point of the configuration messages is so that you can install the APN settings for the particular carrier you're on. CM10 will automatically install the APN settings for your carrier (unless you're on a ridiculously obscure carrier) so there's no need for the configuration messages.
Are you getting a data connection? If you are, a then all good. If not, check your APN settings and see what's happening there.

No, I don't get any connection without that configuration message
and Where is that APN settings ?!

Settings then more settings then mobile network then access point

Andrew have you seen where the default CM APN's don't cover a given carrier? I've been on a pretty obscure carrier with custom ROM and still been fine...

Iv never had problem with apns till I stuck a different Sim in a stock Rom.

Problem downloading MMS images

Everytime I get sent a picture message mms, I can't download it. The button comes up, then after pressing it, the screen just says downloading for ages. Has anyone else come across this problem? Thanks.
Sounds like either:-
1. you haven't got your mms setting right - especially when you got a unlocked phone or your changed network
2. I had that problem when I am on "three" network - make sure that "mobile" network is turned on (ie 3g signal) and its not roaming onto a different network.

Ok, I looked into these settings under wireless controls, and under mobile network settings, access point names, orange internet is checked with a a green dot, but orange mms isn't. when I press it to try to enable it or something, there is no option. Do I have to ring Orange to get them to enable it or something?
Shouldn't have to ring orange, but if its an orange branded phone, it should have all the appropriate settings.

[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.

Manually switch APNs

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.
Combine them

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.
NAME
Viaero Connect
APN
internet.vedge.com
APN TYPE
internet

Did you ever figure this out? I have the same issue.
For MMS Part .... change port number "9401" to just blank

[Q] APN Settings Via Shell

I know there is a lot of questions surrounding APN settings and I have done a lot of research and can't seem to find a solution to my problem. Background I am running a XT908 which appears to be a very close cousin or brother or sister (choose your family member) to the XT912. It is a CDMA phone from a small local carrier. Anyway I have CM 10.1 on it, working great frankly I love it, however like many small carriers getting the APN settings restored is a real pain.
So the real issue is when I goto Settings -> More -> Mobile Networks, there is no option for Access Point Names. This is true both on CM 10.1, AND the stock ROM which was ICS 4.0.4. So the data on my phone is working, however I can't send MMS messages (it just sits at sending). I presume the problem is the APN, I'm not sure if it is simply using Verizon's and it is working because Verizon runs off the local carriers towers or what.
Anyway, is there a way to modify the active APN setting(s) via the ADB shell. I've been doing a lot of playing around with the apns-conf.xml, and the telephony.db database located in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db. I attempted to restore my APN config by installing APN Backup & Restore, making it a System App, dumping the APNs on the stock ROM, and then restoring them on CM10. This did import some of the settings (although the database fields don't match up exactly), however I still have the MMS problem.
So I guess I just wrote a long winded explanation to ask, is there a file or database I can modify with my local carriers settings and make it the active APN? Or is my APN not even the issue since data is working fine, it is MMS only? Thanks much.
Going to try and bump one time.

[Q] Re GSM and APN settings

This isn't really a problem. It's just a question out of curiosity...aimed at the guys who tear down ROMs on a regular basis, or whoever else might know.
Okay so here's my scenario. I have a Verizon Note 2 which I use here in the Caribbean on a GSM network. Most of the time I use ATT or N7105 roms (without the ATT/n7105 modems of course) since I'm using a GSM network.
Whenever I use ATT/N7105 roms, my phone automatically retrieves APN settings for internet and mms from my carrier.
When I use Verizon ROMs like I am right now, I never receive these APN and MMS settings automatically.
I know my APN settings but it's convenient having it retrieved automatically when I switch sim cards.
What part of the ROM is it that allows this to happen when I'm using ATT roms?
Is it something in the build.prop that I'm missing? CSC settings or something else?

Well for the 1% that might be interested I figured out the answer. It turns out the ATT and N7105 roms apn-conf.xml file had my carrier's apn/mms settings.
So just replacing that file in my Verizon rom got my settings added automatically.
