Summary:
Some providers make use of a different APNs for MMS and data. In such cases, leaving the APN type as "" will cause MMS not to work (see History for explanation). To fix this, we have to ensure the following:
Data APN Types are set to "default", or "default,supl" (if you're having issues with AGPS, use the supl one)
MMS APN Types are set to "mms"
In other words, APN types should not be left blank for any APN. Hope it helps. For a detailed description read below.
History:
Hi all,
I previously had MMS working perfect after following this instructions: http://www.systemscrafter.com/imho/archives/6, but since I switched to CyanogenMod BETA 3 MMS hasn't been working for me.
After some testing, I've found out the following. It seems that under APN Type, the one you use for data MUST be designated as "default", and for the MMS one, as "mms". Lower-case. The apns-conf.xml left out the "default".
Secondly, after doing that, it still did not work reliably. This was solved by removing one of the data APNs. In Cyan's apns-conf.xml, there were "Gee! (GPRS)" and "StarHub Internet". These 2 are essentially the same APN point (one uses proxy, one does not), configuration wise, just given different names. I removed "Gee! (GPRS)" and entered "default" under "StarHub Internet", and MMS is now working perfect.
Update: xiutian had a simpler fix. Simply go to "Gee! (GPRS)" and "StarHub Internet", make sure both of them are set to APN type "default". It works, just tested. In other words, never leave the "APN type" blank. It has to be either "default" or "mms". (Any other values? not too sure...)
Update #2: cyanogen has kindly informed me that setting it to "default" may cause AGPS to stop working. After doing some searching, I found this: http://www.nexusoneforum.net/forum/...how-can-i-get-internet-work-my-nexus-one.html. Apparently, setting it to "" makes Android use it for everything, which explains why MMS was not working for some of us. To fix the AGPS part, instead of using "default", we now use "default,supl".
Update #3: @bcpk on Twitter has kindly pointed me to the following article: http://wccftech.com/2010/09/09/solving-gps-nofix-problem-cyanogenmod-6-nexus/ Do check it out if you're having issues with CM6.
Hope it helps some of you.

I'm sorry to say that it did not help me.
I'm on Orange in Switzerland.
I had to input the apn myself and don't see where i can make it default or not.
Could you please provide me with a little more info?
Thanks
I went thru the APN list and made the necessary corrections. Will include in beta4.
The file is here if you have anything to add:
http://github.com/cyanogen/android_vendor_cyanogen/blob/eclair/prebuilt/etc/apns-conf.xml
Awsome
For Orange CH I've found 2 things that work for me,
1) apn internet
mcc 228
mnc 03
2) apn wap
proxi 192.168.010.002
port 8080
mcc 228
mnc 03
Both these settings work to get data, but I still havent managed to find the correct mms settings, and the shop not only wants me to leave them the phone for an hour or 2 (i wonder why) but then they want me to pay them extra for the mms info..BS
I've been searching on the web but all the settings I've found and tried are not working.

When entering your APN, scroll to the bottom, there's a option "APN type", tap on that and type in "default". To be honest I don't know why Google can't make it a ListBox where we can choose from...

ahhh thanks,
I always thought apn type had something to do with the operator and therefor never even tapped on in.
I'll keep trying then with some of the settings I've found online, set the internet one to default, and see what happens, as soon as I can

I'm on Centennial Wireless. I had the internet working since day 1. But this didn't help with the mms. It does seem 2 almost connect now that I put mms in type, but still no go.
success
yeaaayyy i finally got it.
Orange switzerland has 2 sets of settings, one for data and one for mms.
I had the correct information for both, but my mistake was in the apn type field.
So I went ahead and made the main data on default,supl and the other mms et voila...thanks...that link helped
L
esincho: More info would be good. You put "mms" in type for your MMS APN, right? What about your Data APN? What did you put in type for that?
Seems that the new Nexus One update has an updated apns-conf.xml.
Some of the settings have changed, particularly StarHub.
Code:
<apn carrier="StarHub"
mcc="525"
mnc="05"
apn="internet"
type="default,supl"
/>
<apn carrier="Gee! MMS"
mcc="525"
mnc="05"
apn="shmms"
mmsc="http://mms.starhubgee.com.sg:8002"
mmsproxy="10.12.1.80"
mmsport="80"
type="mms"
/>
I've also uploaded it here: http://www.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=wysie/MISC/&file=apns-conf.xml

sorry bro U right. I'm not new 2 having 2 put in these settings, cause I am on Centennial and I buy all my phones unlocked cause Centennial phones suck. My internet works fine, 4 it under type I put default,supl cause I read somewhere this is what 2 put. Like I say, I have all the right mms info from the carrier cause I'm use 2 putting it in. I shows like it's connecting, but it don't maintain connection.
I just received a mms and was able 2 open it, but I still can't send any.

Uff, thanx this helped me. Now I can use MMS on Orange Austria.
how can i verify AGPS is working?
htc magic next to my n1 seems to show more accurate position, and we're in door so it couldn't be pure gps
I can't seem to have MMS working on my N1. I am in Honduras and the settings seems to be pretty str8forward but my MMS are not going out.
I've set up the 2 apn and tried both the "default" and "defaul,supl" setting but nothing. The message is never sent out. I seems like the application is calling the APN but then it stops. I can see that for a second the icon of the Edge connection disappears when trying to send the MMS.
How would you configure your apn with the following settings :
nombre de la configuracion: MMS Claro
Pagina de inicio: 10.6.32.27/servlets/mms
Punto de Acceso o (apn): mms.megatel.hn
Dirreccion IP: 010.006.032.002

I'm on AT&T right now,
i use APNdroid to disable Data, but i still want to be able to use MMS, so i set APNdroid to still allow MMS, and i made anothe APN with the necessary info and as APN type MSS
but it doesn't seem to work, any input?
after some fiddling with it i fixed it myself
i took the default APN added MMS as APN type
and told APNdroid to ALLOW 3g data (so practically not use apndroid)
and NO MMS Port as seen at some other places, MMS port is <not set>
For those who wanna see entire settings for JUST MMS (not data)
Name: AT&T MMS
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: <not set>
Port: <not set>
Username: [email protected]
Password: CINGULAR1

MMS Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS Port: <not set>
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication Type: <not set>
APN Type: mms
using APNdroid to disable Data and keeping MMS doesn't work, just set the APN type to MMS and you're good..
if you want to use both MMS and Data just keep the APN type field <not set>
DATA/MMS
Thanks to wysie i was able to get data on internet2.voicestream with apn type default,supl and mms on epc.tmobile.... would anyone else know how to set up the apn for other apps like t-mobile my account that uses epc.tmobile.... what apn type would that be so android knows to switch it to that apn to access info?
Telia (Denmark)
MMS not working for me ?
AF9210: From what I know there's only <blank>, default, supl and mms .
MarkM83: More info?
Thank you soo much Wysie. you have no idea how long i've been searching for a solution to my mms/data issue on my Hero and then Nexus after it. I owe you a couple o beers

I've been trying to set apn on my hero without luck. After trying in different phones and SIM carrier, my conclusion is that I need to set "authentication type" to PAP, the problem is there's no where i can make this setting on Hero. Is there any work around I can do that? I suppose there should be a configuration file i can work on.

What network are you on?..... There is no option to set anything to "PAP" on my phone and all works ok,... Give us some more details.
I'm in Cambodia, and this is the setting provided by the carrier. I got no luck no matter how i tried, i tried to contact the carrier but they're not that helpful. The phone dealer told me change the authentication to PAP if it doesn't work, that's how he solve many other cases. And according to that dealer, almost all android phone can't connet to the mentioned carrier, except Nexus and Milestone, not even the latest model like HTC desire or Xperia X10.
Internet Access Point Name (APN): cellcard
Data bearer/connection type: GPRS
User name: mobitel
Password: mobitel
Authentication: normal
WAP/Proxy address: 203.144.95.100
Port: 8080 (8080 for http and 9201 for wap)
Home page: http://www.cellcard.com.kh/mobile
Ok,....
Try this and let me know how it goes,...
Name: Cellcard GPRS
APN: cellcard
Proxy: 203.144.95.100
User name: mobitel
Password: mobitel
APN type: default
Leave everything else blank.
Then once entered, DO NOT press "BACK",... remember to press "MENU" then "SAVE".
i did the exact setting as your guide. no luck. and the attachement is what i get from phone information by *#*#34636#*#*
Clear the proxy field and try again.
still not working.
Just to clarify, this SIM card works fine on WM6 and other phones.
I am using new Darkstorm v2 that are published today.
I have seen something new...
I can not use 3G if there are available WiFi network, even WiFi is closed.

Firstly, what I suggest is go to setting> WIRELESS&NETWORKS > MOBILE NETWORKS > then, check whether the DATA ENABLED already tick or not(if not,just tick it)...
Second,in case the first step not working even after you ticked it...then now you go back to the MOBILE NETWORKS again...choose ACCESS POINT NAMES...and then make sure you choose the correct access point(which must be the same name with the one when you using WINMO)...
Hope these help...Cheers...

does it works?erm..basically sometimes the 3G data is disabled in default setting or sometimes it'll just choose an access point randomly...so,I think this is why these situations occur...
Cheers,you are welcome...haha,learning when teaching...
when i tick on "mobile network", i get "Use phone for data connection when WiFi is Unavailable" .
I do i change it to operate 3G when i want?

Yea..thats correct,when you are not connecting to WIFI, you can browse the internet using 3G...Furthermore you can long press your home&add widget,then choose power control...put it on any screen you want...then trough that widget you can control your 3G and WIFI anytime...you can on/off the 3G when you want use or save battery...
Android is roaming while it should not.....
Maybe it helps.... I discovered that when I'm running with Android the 3G isn't working because the phones "thinks" that it is roaming( I checked the box, no connection when roaming). In reallity it isn't roaming and I also do not understand why this it is happening. In any case when I unchecked the box immidiatly after the 3G connection was on. Actually I was now looking on the xda if somebody had the same experience.
Addition:
The WiFi is OFF even Unavailable network, and i get this problem, and can not use 3G, at the same reason that i have mentioned before.
There is a code that i have to change?
I will try the roaming method...
More information
I have see, that i do not see APN list in Darkfroyo, and i believe thats why i can not connect to 3G.
So, how can i fix that?

OK, but how can i add that information?
When i go to APN page, i get black page and can not add ANY information.
Am i missing something ?
Thanks!
EDIT:
I have managed to fix it!
1.I have run a ROM that the 3G works.
2. I have copied the right information from APN, from the working one, menu details.
3. I have run the desired ROM, Darkstone for example.
4. I have added NEW APN information, at APN page with the information i have got.
5. WALLA! now 3G is working!
Thanks you all!!
I also change my Froyo ROM to shubCRAFT 1.5★CM6 Final and APNs still is empty. Can you tell me please wich ROM you installed.
I've not had that specific 3G problem. When I start up Android, there is a "New SIM Insterted" message which when I launch it comes up with an Error Report and have to Force Close the program. After doing that I find 3G works fine.
Also I am unable to go to Wireless & Networks and choose Access Point Names as said Error Message/Force Close appears. But doesn't seem to cause any problems generally. As for Wi-Fi, I have the opposite, if Roaming is enabled then the Wi-Fi will refuse to turn on

Yes, at the APN, you will see black screen, without ANY configuration.
So, select the menu "windows button" and press "new APN" then' it will give you a place to insert information that you have copied from a working one...
Hope it helps...

First off let me say I've been searching EXTENSIVELY on this issue.
I'm in the US on T-Mobiles HTC HD2 (obviously).
When I purchased the phone it had already been rooted (I believe that is the correct term). It was running winmo 6.5 along with Android on an SD card.
I haven't had the phone long but I've learned so much from this site regarding modding and such. I can NOT send MMS messages on Android (I believe I remember sending one on Winmo). I don't have a data plan and I've tried every single APN I've found. Still nothing.
I recently flashed my phone with the new MAGLDR. I used "MDJ_Revolution_HD_v._2.2_NAND". It runs pretty smooth.. Except no mms capability =(. I've updated the Radio to the most recent. 2.15~ (I think).
I've read that possibly it's the ROM I'm using. Like I said I've been searching, please bare with me on this question, but I'm a little confused on what a ROM actually is. From what I've read everything I've found is a "winmo" rom. I beleive the rom that came with my phone (note: it came from someone else, its not stock) is Energy? It's a blue logo at bootup.
Would I have better luck with the MMS if I flashed to another rom? And if so, how would that affect my android? This site is full of information and sometimes it's hard to sift through what I need and what is extra. ANY help on this matter would be greatly greatly appreciated.
Thank you

I didn't know that you could send an MMS without a data plan. Most Android builds won't send MMS over Wifi and without a data plan. Some of the new NAND builds have MMS working over Wifi.

My old Nokia would send good quality MMS without a data plan so I just assumed this would be the same. If you think this is the case then I suppose I can stop beating my head against the wall.

I knew it! How did they get it working?
There were three phones on our family plan and none of them would send/recieve MMS. I don't know what they did to get it working, however, they sent information from the cell towers to the phones repeatedly until all three phones worked properly.
2 things u need to check out is to fix the problem,
1. (Boot Android) if u are in roaming area u need to go to your settings go to wireless and networks then go to mobile networks (NOT MOBILE NETWORK) and simply click on the checkmart data roaming to enable data tranfer over roaming coverage and then go to Accesspoint names and clik on the one avaliable. ( you should now be able to send and recieve MMS messages or send them over your network.

No sorry that wasn't it..
It turns out I needed to use a SPECIFIC APN if I didn't have a data plan. It was wap.voicestream.com and then the other stuff. I don't remember it. It works now!

The MMS should be setup as follows:
1. Settings --> Wireless and Networks --> Mobile Networks --> Access Point Names
2. The APN should be named "T-Mobile US"
3. Edit that or create it and the settings within should be:
Name: T-Mobile US
APN: epc.tmobile.com
Proxy: 216.155.165.050
Port: 8080
Username: (leave this blank)
Password: (leave this blank)

MMS Port: 8080
MMS Protocol: WAP 2.0
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
APN Type: (leave this blank)
Once done, back your way out, maybe reboot the phone for good measure but shouldn't be required. To test success, send yourself a picture message (mms).
Hope that helps
My Streak actually had two entries for APN's. One as above, and one called T-Mobile MMS

Once done, back your way out, maybe reboot the phone for good measure but shouldn't be required. To test success, send yourself a picture message (mms).
Hope that helps
My Streak actually had two entries for APN's. One as above, and one called T-Mobile MMS

Thanks, but that one never worked. I heard that was for if you HAVE a data plan, seeing as how I don't I was able to use this one:
Name: mms
APN: wap.voicestream.com
username: mms
password: mms
MMSC: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
MMS Proxy: 216.155.165.050
MMS Port: 8080
And it works now!
Ok update: Now all the MMS I receive are very very small. 4KB~ Average. Any Ideas?
New Problem
I have all the MMS Settings set up properly. The onlu problem that I have is...
I am able to send picture messages aka MMS Messages ( I am on an unlimited messaging plan and hence the picture messages are included)
However I have problems downlading and viewing them.
Lets say my friend sends me a picture message ( a .jpg file) It shows me in the subject that there is an attachment but when I try to download it (first it doesn't even automatically downloads it when I have it set up correct )
the error message comes up " Unable to download message from __"
Can anyone help me ? I don't know how this issue started. I only remember that MMS messages used to download by themselves once before.

OK, this is dumb, but try this...
Settings/All Settings/Connections/Connections/Advanced/Select Networks
on the drop down list select T-Mobile MMS. Then, Edit. Tap & Hold on black dot T-Mobile MMS, Then Connect.

change the APN used for the Internet and toggle the moble Internet on/off
I've been trying for weeks to get MMS working, to no avail, and now I seem to have deleted my Cricket APN without backing up first, so I can't get any wifi. Can someone post or point me to, a working cricket APN, I'm using a VZ Droid Eris, if that matters, I don't think it does, but it's obviously only 1/2 flashed to Cricket. I appreciate any help that can be offered, as Cricket's 1G service sucks really bad so I'd rather be on wifi.
read this, might help you
Its pretty straight forward, but I have recently received a bunch of mesages from people asking me how to set up a data connection for cricKet on Android, so here are the steps.
Settings>Wireless Controls>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names>
From there select the default APN probably simply titled Android
From here we plug in the settings that we would with Windows Mobile:
Name: Cricket (Doesn't Matter, More for Labeling Purposes)
APN: Cricket Mobile Web (Doesn't Matter, More for Labeling Purposes)
Proxy: wap.mycricket.com
Port: 8080
Username:[email protected]
Password: cricket
MCC: 310 (This is the default value)
I would assume you would make the following change for cricKet, as you would in the PST settings, but when I save, the APN deletes itself. Please test on your end. Data WILL work if you leave setting at default. I just think this could be the one setting preventing us from authenticating with google.
MNC: 00 (Default Value is 995)
Everything else I left as is. This will get data running but WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO ACTIVATE YOUR GOOGLE ACCOUNT. This has to do with the proxy (I think). If you know a way around it, or further settings to change please make me aware so I can update.
Menu>Save
Then stop and restart the modem.
At this point you should have an active data connection. If it doesn't work RIGHT after the stop/start of the modem, give it about a minute.

Your answer is in the first 2 pages of this general forum. Little research will go a long way. Search for ATT apn settings.

Put in the sim card, go to settings - wireless and networks - mobile networks - check "on" Use packet data. Than press Acces point names and create new APN. Depends on what data plan you have you enter the APN settings. I am on grandfathered unlimited AT & T data plan so I created APN called cingular 410. All the settings for this APN you will find easy on this forum, if not, send me private email I will email it to you.It is not hard to set it up even if you are not really computer geek. ( I am not )

Thanks I have h+ and 3g working I just can't send pictures it just sits there with the circle rotating for ever...but I can get picture mail...what did I do wrong...PS thanks again
I was told just delete any apn in there. Create a new one and put ATT and Phone in the first two lines and the system will do the rest.
However, I have the same problem as the poster above, I can send/receive calls, get text but no picture message
It just sits there trying to send it out for ever...see picture below
At the bottom of your apn settings under apn type make sure you have internet and mms checked.
check but still no go on MMS
What is mmsc and what should that be at god this is really pissing me off I have done everything three time and still can't get it to work
I have this problem too! I added port 80 to my apn settings for mms port. At first I thought that cleared it up. But I still have a problem from time to time. Anyone?
Note: I only have issues with sending attachments, like pictures, to text messages (ie mms). Emailing attachments works fine.

The first few values scrolled off the top. Apn, proxy, port, username. I'd assume wap.cingular and the rest empty.

Ok, I went through this drill with AT&T and it took a couple calls to get things sorted out after I activated my new line for my phone. I had precisely the same issue that you did where everything worked except MMS.
#1 - Be SURE they double checked that they provisioned your phone correctly on the back end. Unless your phone was correctly provisioned, your phone's APN settings don't mean jack. Ensure that AT&T setup your phone on the back end as though it was a Samsung Galaxy S2 (not the Skyrocket though). I had to get past tier 1 support to get my issues corrected.
#2 - Remove any and all APN entries you already have there and setup your phone as follows:
Under Settings\Mobile network settings: Use packet data (check to enable)
Tap 'Access Point Names'
Tap the menu button, left of the home button and choose 'New APN'
Name: AT&T WAP
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
Port: 80
Username <not set> - Leave this alone
Password: <not set> - Leave this alone
Server: <not set> - Leave this alone
MMSC: http:/mmsc.cingular.com
MMS proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication type: <not set> - Leave this alone
APN type: internet + mms
Do NOT forget to tap menu again and choose 'save'
This should work without rebooting the phone, but I rebooted mine anyway because they asked me to.
Again, make sure they correctly provisioned your phone and tell them that it should be setup as though it is a Galaxy S2 (not the Skyrocket).
My phone went from 3G/H+ with only sms and NO MMS reading/sending to full functionality once they fixed a provisioning issue AND only with the right APN settings, which AT&T gave me from their Galaxy S2 phone configs.
Enjoy.

the MMSC url should have read http with 2 slashes and not one like this: "http:/"
XDA won't let me post proper URL's until I have 8 posts, so forgive the intentional typo It keeps stopping me each time to try and find a way to fix it. I even had to wait 5 minutes to make the point of correction.
Spammers really have a way of making this suck for the rest of us...

Nope, no AT&T banner at all.
Me neither. . . My Sgt actually did have a att banner. . . Not sure that provides any insight on what a sgn should do...
I am still borkes on this front. My sgn works really well otherwise. . . .
