i have a bit of a problem with 3G data and mms. in original stock 2.1 from SE i can disable 3G data, but that will not turn off MMS sending and receiving.
however, in most froyo, including in CM6-final. this is not possible. we have to enable both 3G data to get mms to work. however... i dont have a 3G data plan, and it can be very expensive .............
here are some facts that i have tried out:
1. using SE stock 2.1, it is possible to disable 3G data but still receive send mms
2. using SE stock 2.1, it is possible to have only 1 APN for mms without other types (default, supl), but still receive send mms
3. it is a froyo bug, based on things i found on the internet
4. some brand such samsung motorola, have patched it
5. i tried to set up different APN for mms (mms) and 3G (degault,supl). still can not do mms without 3G data
6. i set up only 1 APN for mms... it doesnt work
7. different APN for mms and 3G data, send an mms to myself, works, and then i delete APN for 3G data. now mms can work with only mms APN. and i dont have 3G data activity at all. but after restart. can not work again
anyone, any idea how to get the mms working without enabling 3G data?
ok. thank you
cheers

i know it might not be important to some. but here, where i live, i could get charge with something like 2000 USD if i am not being carefull with my data usage....
i really need mms to work, without having to enable data for web. just 3G for mms only...coz i can not text sms to other operator, must use mms. sms is locked inter operator only

thanx man!
unfortunately, i tried that in my step 6 above
"6. i set up only 1 APN for mms... it doesnt work"
it won`t connect. saying data service unavailable... the only way i can get mms to work is by "fishing" 3G data using 2 APN, and then delete APN for internet, leaving MMS alone. still, after i reboot, i get data service unavailable and have to "fish" again.

i assumed that u followed the instructions word by word rite?
personally, i'm not using 3G connection, i only use 2G and my service operator won't charge any excess fee if i leave my connection on..so i can't really help much
i just happen to saw that thread and i thought that might do some help to u..
Yup
Thanks. I really appreciate it. I can not use 2g here in japan. All network services are in 3g. No more 2g.
Oot a bit, it was quiet amazing for me, as a foreigner, in sendai that during the earthquake, 3g data service are fully operasional at full speed eventhough we hno gas water and all.
Anyway, I finally found the answer.
I installed quick settings from market (they have several app with that name, i use the one by sergej shafarenka). Use it to disable mobile data.get mms, with not 3g internet.
it wasnt my idea too to be honest. Someone post it in an old thread for samsung galaxy. I ran in to it accidentally today. Fiuuuhhhh...now I would not have to worry anymore
Would anyone be so kind to test this for me? Here's my problem. If I'm connected to WiFi or 4G, I can't send MMS. To be more specific, I CAN send MMS, but it takes a VERY VERY long time (basically at 1x SMS speed as opposed to the recommended 3G speeds MMS is capable of using).
So if anyone could try the following that would be great. While connected to WiFi, try to send or receive a picture or video.. basically any MMS. What SHOULD happen is 3G should come on (while WiFi is still connected) and quickly download/send your MMS message. That's not what's happening to me. When I send or recieve 3G never comes on so it takes forever. If I disable WiFi or am not connected to a network it sends/receives through 3G just fine. This only happens when I'm connected to a WiFi network or to 4G.
works fine
If you don't already have it enabled try enabling background data as well. Then try to send your mms and see if it helps.

what setup do you have?
Are you using a rom that has the mms hack? try turning it off so it will compress them down more and it may work...
Thanks for the replies, guys. I'm running ViperRom RC 1.3. This was happening before I rooted and installed ViperMod though, but I'll look up the MMS hack and find a way to disable it.
I haven't been successful at getting data and mms working on my HTC Shift through Verizon Prepaid, so I bought a Rezound and set it up on VZW Prepaid.
Everything including mms seems to be working, except I cannot switch on mobile network or connect to the internet.
Also, *#*#4636#*#* does nothing so I cannot change those settings listed in the tutorial.
Any suggestions?
Woo Hoo! Finally a fully functional phone. I just installed "Data Toggle Free" from the market and clicked it on from the home screen drop down menu. Now everything works.
Interesting
how did you do this. I would like to do this myself. Do you get 4g? Do you get unlimited 3g? Please help
I was able to get my Evo onto PagePlus without too much trouble. I have voice/sms and 1X data. I even managed to get the stock messaging app to send MMSs fine. I'm not able to get 3G working, I have a donor phone but its a Droid 2 and I have no way of getting the ESN changed so I can do the Donation. If anyone has had luck getting 3G to work any other way please let me know. The only other oddment I have going on is a message that pops up very often saying "Unable to establish Data Connection". Its obviously looking for a Sprint LTE or 3G connection which I cant do anything about, but does anyone know how make the message go away forever?
I have also noticed that while I am at home, I can send SMS to anyone, but when I am at work, 30 miles away, some I am unable to send SMSs to certain contacts.
Have you tried changing your prl and roaming?

I have updated my PRL to one that turns off the roaming triangle, and set the options under data to roam data and voice without asking. If I fiddle with the roaming settings too much things stop working and I have not found a combination that will avoid the message.
Does MMS work over Wifi Calling? I ask because you can't send MMS over EDGE.

I work in an underground office with no signal, but I have WiFi. T-Mobiles WiFi calling has always allowed me to send and receive MMS and SMS. Note that some corporate wifi setups may include special protocols like LEAP that may or may not allow a solid fully functional WiFi connection...basically it has always worked for me. :good:
