[Q] MMS won't work - Focus General

After reading tons upon tons of answers for how to make MMS work after switching carriers (was on Rogers, now on Koodo) I still have yet to figure out how to make my MMS work...
What I've tried:
Soft Reset
Hard Reset
Official Network Profile App
Officially Developer Unlocking Phone
Using "Samsung Tools"
Acessing Root Menu and changing "AutoDataConfig"
My current Diagnosis version is 0628 (just reinstalled earlier - so... most recent?)
And my WinPhone is on Mango 7720
I apologize if perhaps you've answered this a lot, but I honestly have spent the past 5 continuous hours trying to figure this out (plus, many before)
Thanks for any help and suggestions!

Your Diagnosis is most recent (that's release date in MMDD format)
If you have any manual APN added, uninstall Network Profile, delete those and try again.

Thanks for the response!
Deleted Network Profile and all xap programs...
reinstalled Samsung Tools
Restarted...
Still doesn't work :/
Retry installing/using Root Tools...
Restarted...
MMS still won't send or download
Is there someway I can put in the exact information myself? Instead of it trying to automatically sync on startup?
(I'm with Koodo and they give exact settings:
MMSC URL: http ://aliasredirect.n et/proxy/koodo/mmsc
Proxy server: 74.49.0.18
Port: 80
any way to type that in somewhere?)

Try this. Pasting here fore search reference:
By default WP7 device configures data and MMS settings for the SIM card used on the first boot. If you change the SIM card you can manually change the APN for data, but for MMS settings you would need to reset the phone to initiate the automatic configuration. To reset the phone go to the System page under Settings, tap about, and then tap reset your phone.
Important note: Reset erases all user data from the phone. You must synchronize information using the Zune software or manually back up data before performing this step.
If this doesn't work either, try adding your settings in the APN (settings, cellular, add apn)

Yea, that was one of the first things I tried "Hard Reset"
I assume my Koodo SIM card doesn't like automatically syncing?
EDIT: Yep, Just did another hard/full reset (This time through diagnosis app) annd MMS Still won't send or receive...
(and then once again developer unlocked, tried Samsung Tools, tried Root, and then tried the official Network Profile app - nothing.)

Welcome to the club ! I've been trying to get my Focus to work with FIDO for better part of 7 months. Texting and MMS just does not seem to be configurable with the Rogers Samsung Focus. To the point that I'm now selling mine on Kijiji. Any takers for $200 ? I'll deliver anywhere in north Toronto area!

This is the one of the reasons I am not yet ready to jump to WP7. I have AT&T focus and I use StraightTalk pre-paid. I could never use MMS on it. So, went back to my Xperia Arc even though I love WP7.
I tried all methods OP tried already and gave up. I can never get why MS did such a dumb thing of not having a function to manually add settings. This is going to be a pain in countries like India as people switch SIM cards all the time when they cross state borders.

Im having the same issues with TELUS as well... It sometimes actually works but is really unreliable.

Is it not possible to select a new access point with the updated official ROM?

Hi there. I have set up a new access point (in an attempt to get some Facebook connection) and although it allows me to create a new profile, it doesn't then give me the option to select it - there is no tick box or button push even though the new profile is now in the list. I have just upgraded my ROM from the HTC site and am unbranded although using Voda in the UK.
Many thanks for your help, in advance.
I found the same as you, it does seem different to the old ROM. I changed the active Vodafone settings to the wap APN, logged off and on and this worked for me.
B
I feel its not selectable anymore as its automatic.
I may be wrong though.
Type "default" in the "APN type" field.
I wrote to HTC help and this is what their reponse. I am using the Hero on TMo US.
"I would first recommend that you perform a simple soft reset, which can be done by removing the battery and replacing it to restart your phone. Once that has been done see if you are able to switch APN setting, if you are not then I would recommend that you attempt to re-flash the operating system to your phone. Once the operating system or ROM has been re-flashed to your phone then I would recommend that you attempt to re-setup and connect to the T-Mobile US APN, if it doesn’t work, please attempt to use another SIM card. If all of this does not work can you please contact us back and inform us of this so we can look into further troubleshooting."
i just changed the telkila settings since it was set as the default apn.
yeah, all you should need is 'default' set as the APN type, and then if you have more than one of those, the selection thing usually appears.
any you have set as 'mms' will not be selectable.

[Q] MMS not working....tried every solution I found

Hi,
I have a problem with sending/recieving MMS.
I know that this question was raised here million times, but for the last hour I was searching here, googling around the net...and no solution I found worked for me.
APN settings for MMS are correct, I tripple checked that. Tried many variation, change few settings, but no luck.
I read somewhere that when wifi is on, MMS wont work. But wifi is usually off in my case.
Tried to delete APN settings, and reset them to default....also tried to manualy enter APN settings for data and for MMS.
Also tried to chage custom user agent...now it is on default android.
Size of MMS wasnt the case because I was trying to send small audio files (about 20kB).
Here you can see logcat while I was trying to send MMS.
This lines from it I guess that are important:
E/Mms:transaction( 1042): Url: http://mms.telenor.rs/servlets/mms
E/Mms:transaction( 1042): HTTP error: Forbidden
E/SendTransaction( 1042): java.io.IOException: HTTP error: Forbidden
Somehow it is not allowing me to use MMS server.
After that I turned on setting 'use only 2G networks' in settings / mobile network and next MMS was sent without problem. Then I disabled that option, waited a little for connecting with provider to finish and tried again. MMS was sent succesfully again.
Then I rebooted the phone, and after that I cant send MMS with or without that option turned on. No luck after another reboot. In logcat now are the same errors.
Anyone have a clue how to fix this?
Bump???
Anyone has any idea?
Ask your network operator.
Also:
Before you start, you need to activate your handset for receiving and sending MMS. For handset configuration send a SMS with text ‘mms’ to 131. Once you have sent the SMS for MMS configuration, you will receive MMS settings in the form of an SMS which you need to save.
You can also download MMS settings on your handset click here.

That came to me, but wanted to try something else before that for few reasons.
First: MMS worked fine when I first started to use android (mostly sense builds). I haven't tried it until recently, and as I said in two occasions MMS was sent successfully, so if my network operator is blocking it, I guess that I couldn't done that in those two times.
Second: I bought HD2 on contract at my network operator 6 months ago, and already violated warranty at least 50 times, so it would be awkward to ask them why is MMS not working on my Android HD2
Anyway, thanx for the suggestion, if I don't get any other hint here, I might try that...
edit: I just read you second message. MMS is activated long time ago and I have used it many times. I know the correct configuration for MMS. I have tried the one that was auto installed at first boot, and they are the same as the one I have.

To be fair they don't need to know what OS you have on your phone. They probably don't even know the HD2 can run Android, or possibly even what Android is.
Navigate your phone to the link I supplied above. The problem of course is that the page may well be dedicated to some sort of WM application rather than Android.
I googled this and returned only some issues of application development for the iPhone and Android where people were suggesting to use different port numbers etc, hence my advice to ring your network operator.
I'll guess I'll try that. Thanx for your help.
BTW, your link was telenor site from Pakistan And I couldn't open it. Anyway I read several APN settings on Telenor Serbia site, for HD2, Desire, Desire HD, generic Android settings...parameters are correct. Also tried to change port to 9021 (it said that it is for older devices), with no luck....

Well, apparently your advice was the right one. I called call center, my MMS service was active. They deactivated and reactivated it, I deleted APN settings, did a restart, entered settings again and so far it works, even after few restarts....

Send MMS with LG Optimus 7

How did I solve MMS problem!
Once in the MFG Menu...
1. Click 7 for Engineer Settings.
2. Then click 6 for Other Settings.
3. Select Set ADC (auto data configuration);
4. Set Enable;
5. Shut down, change SIM card and restart;
6. Reinsert your SIM card and restart;
7. In Setting/Celular/ Data Conection ON
8. Send MMS!
Let me know if this help
This really works. When I installed the Open EU firmware, everything was automatically working after the first reboot, including the MMS
nope...doesnt help me at all
This works for the majority of American and European carriers. However, if your service provider does not support ADC, then you are out of luck.
Hi,
did you try this app from lg store?
(Network Setup.xap)
I run this one in my phone and voilá, MMS is enabled.
Regards
Marcus
LG E900 Optimus 7 (Maximo 7 in Portugal)
I have an unlocked E900 (bought SIM free) with an Orange UK SIM card - tried the MFG method, no dice. Installed the App from the LG section of Marketplace (after changing ADC back to disabled), MMS worked straight away - thanks to Marcus for the pointer.
Neither option has worked for me (T-Mo USA network), though I didn't remove my SIM, restart phone, shut down, and re-insert the SIM again. Is this necessary?
Hi,
The above method stated by the original poster did not work for me but the following method did:
( I have my sim card in for this)
1) enter the MFG app (dial ##634#)
2) Input the password 277634#*# and press enter
3) Choose No. 7 engineer menu
4) in the engineer sub-menu choose other setting.
5) Choose Set Network Profiles
Let the list populate
6) Scroll down the list and find your appropriate carrier and select the appropriate xml, so for me in the UK:
on Vodafone it was: _PROV_VDF_UK234_15_ENG.xml
7) Exit the mfg app, restart phone
8) confirm that data connection is active in settings>mobile network
That's what fixed MMS for me, hope this helps.
I tried all of the methods listed in this post, but nothing worked for me with my LG Optimus 7 on the T-Mobile USA network. Specifically, none of the included profiles were remotely close to what I needed.
Anyhow, finally Laquox helped me work it out in this thread -- and now I'm up and running with proper MMS support. Nice
Help
I tried all the above no joy.
I checked the config on the phone which was branded to Orange but unlocked to Tesco and I notice I have 2 entrys for MMS One O2 one Orange any ideas.

You need to add the proper network profile. Follow the steps posted by Tatteltale, until you get to step 5.

Thanks for the reply
But when I check for the list it doesn't populate a list at all.
Also when I check the registry I notice I have O2 and Orange listed as MMS providers.
I was thinking the only way to aviod this is to install a EU unbranded Rom.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Thank you

it Works well !

When I try to access the "set network profiles" menu, as it populates the list, the system seems to crash and bring me back to the applist on the home screen.
Is this as a result of mango update? It was working only a couple of months ago, weird.

I had your same problem. So I just uninstalled the app, then reinstalled it by the original procedure, and then I could access the "set network profiles" menu again. Finally I was able to set my profile, I thought it only listed the network profiles for the operator in the countries where WP7 are sold but it listed most oi not ALL operators. It listed all the operators in my country.
can you tell me how to get mms on my LG e900 Optimus 7 using h2o wireless??? Please? i got the internet to work but it seems i only get edge internet for some reason but h2o provides 3g from at&t. Ive also got an iPhone 4 using h2o wireless and the 3g works fine together with the picture messageing but cant seem to send or recieve pic message on my wp7 using h2o im sure i need to edit the apn to have the mms work together with the 3g instead of edge can you please help? Im a noob obviously and ive googled and binged like a champ and cant find an answer.

Simple Mobile APN help with Focus

So I ported over my number from AT&T to Simplemobile for the 40 dollar monthly unlimited everything plan. I have everything working except data. I keep trying to change the APN but it's not working. Does anybody know exactly what settings I need to get data to work on the Samsung Focus? My phone is unlocked by the way. Thanks!

What exactly have you tried so far?
Thanks for the reply! Well I've tried using the Samsung Network Profile app, tried changing the APN by naming the APN "simple." I've also tried using the names simplemobile, Simple Mobile, but anyways its not working. Supposedly simple is supposed to work for the HD7, but it's not working for the focus

I wonder...
Do this: delete all APN you have manually entered.
Change the radio to World instead of North America in Settings/Applications/radio
Then, switch the profile to AT&T from Network profile, reset, then switch back to Simplemobile and reset again.
I hope this does the trick, if it doesn't you would need specific information from Simplemobile...
Type simple in both username and password. I figured it out by chance.
Thanks for the help, can you tell me exactly how you have your focus setup? I'm trying what you said and it isn't working. Do you have the samsung network app installed?
goto the APN settings..
under APN name use value " WWW" thats it.. save it.. restart the phone (if required).
So mine stopped working as well. I have an old Tmobile Dash and it works through that. I do have the Network profile installed as well as the Samsung tools. My focus is totally unlocked, but right now it makes no difference.
So, I deleted the APN and started from scratch. Network settings installed as well as Samsung tools with the 3G marker checked. Even though the 3G cannot work on Tmobile, when I enabled it and then typed in simple for APN, it works.
Hope this helps.
Please Help
Hey can you guys please explain how you got the data and MMS to work on your simple mobile unlocked Focus. I have the Network profile App, but cant find the Samsung tools app on the market place.
Also, what goes into the APN settings (Proxy server, username, etc)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
if in the us your apn (att) would be
APN = wap.cingular
USER NAME = [email protected]
PASSWORD = cingular1
I think that I have internet working on my Samsung Focus on Simple Mobile. I say 'think', because often when I try to open a website I am taken to the url androidapi.t-mobile.com/apppack/mvno.html which displays a 503 error. I tested just now by turning off wi-fi, trying to open a web page over and over again. I got this URL and 503 error a few times and then a web page finally loaded. It's not terribly useful, but it occasionally works - so I'm assuming this is more a problem with the connection than with the settings. Sometimes the cell indicator flips between an E and a G. I don't know what the G means, it's not documented that I could find.
I cannot get MMS to work, and based on my research and some others have said this too, it cannot be made to work. Samsung has an app called "Network Profile" that will change the MMS settings for the Focus, but there is no option for Simple Mobile. Until Samsung updates the app for Simple Mobile, we are out of luck.
The settings I use to get data/internet to work on my Focus are:
Under: Settings - Cellular
Data connection: On
Data roaming options: Don't Roam
Network selection: Automatic
Edit/Create APN
APN: simple
User name: [blank]
Password: [blank]
Proxy server/URL: 216.155.165.50
Proxy port: 8080

The thing I think that is left out of most of the instructions is to go to the secret menu by going to the dialer and entering ##634# and then go to MMS and change the apn there to simple.
Now my Dell Venue Pro is on Simple Mobile and the Internet finally works!
How did you change you MMS settings in diagnostic mode? I can only see the code but cannot find a code to edit the mms or data settings.
I am still stuck even after adding simple apn

The reason most people leave that step out is because it is not a step they can follow. The original question was about the Focus, and the Focus doesn't let users specify the MMS settings. From what I've read, only the Dell Venue Pro gives users direct access to the MMS settings. Which is why it's the only WP7 phone that Simple Mobile officially supports for MMS.
Samsung has a network app for the Focus that allows you to pick a carrier and then it changes the settings as appropriate. Unfortunately, it doesn't support many carriers.
I'm considering making the switch to TMobile prepaid - TMobile shows up in the nework app along with AT&T and so should be supported.
UPDATE: Switched to TMobile. Using the "Network Profile" app set to automatic network profile changing = On and Active Profile = T-Moile USA, I received MMS messages right away. Will do internet testing later. For 10 bucks less a month I would've preferred to stay with Simple Mobile, but since Microsoft / Samsung lock the MMS settings down & Samsung hasn't updated their Network Profile app to support more carriers, I had to make the switch. Glad at least the mms piece is working.
I was able to successfully use both 3G data AND send/receive MMS with the following settings:
APN: simple
MMS:
MMS APC: simple
MMSC: h77p://smpl.mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapeng (Replace sevens with "t"; new user controls...)
AUTH TYPE: None
All other fields are to be left blank.
As mentioned, these settings worked for me marvelously. ...For roughly ten minutes. Then the phone wouldn't wake up, I had to do a battery pull, and mms stopped working. When I go to check the mms settings in EM, it holds onto every value (including blank ones) save for the following:
MMS PORT: (blank)
AUTH TYPE: "None"
Whenever I select "Apply" to save settings, it always force resets those two values to the following:
MMS PORT: 80
AUTH TYPE: "PAP"
Hopefully this is all easy to understand. I've tried at length to search both xda and the world-wide-webz for an answer, but I'm coming up blank. I've always been able to figure this junk out for myself, but this is my first WP7 device, and I'm all kinds of 'tarded with it, haha.
You might want to enable the automatic sim settings. This setting is off by default due to samsung. I think the reason is to keep people on the same carrier that the phone was originally intended for use ie. samsung focus Att
1. Bring up diagnotics app ##634#
2. open diagnostics app located in your apps list (swipe left from start screen)
3. in the diagnostic app type 40*047#3
4. there will be a confimation prompt to confirm autosim detection
5. then the phone will restart and you should have MMS and cellular functionality and internet
This has helped my samsung focus from dropping in and out of my 3g connection...wonderful ...hope this works for you and confirm if it does work please.
I take no credit for this method and here is the original post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1241721
I got mine working without mms. Jailbroke the phone and followed the steps to enable internet connection sharing... that added samsung tools. I don't know what in the end made the difference but I was able to use network profile to tmobile and then add apn simple and it worked.
Since then I moved to straight talk .. att.mvno worked for them for apn but still no mms.

I was only able to find the place to input the APN (att.mvno) doing this made the internet work.

SMS works fine.
Sprint Touch Pro 2 TP2 Windows mobile 6.5. I have the Wall mart straight talk $15 sim card (bring your own phone) plan. I put it in the sim card slot on my Sprint TP2 and went through the steps to enable the phone to use GSM towers in the states. Calling works. But internet is only on EDGE (slower then sprints 1X) I think that is all the phone is capable of with the GSM raido it contains.
I searched the registry and found something like Http://mms.sprintmms.com changed it to http://mmsc.cingular.com and that did not work.
I dialed ##778# and hit view. there is nothing in there that looked related.
I went to start, settings, connections, connections, manage existing connections, and deleted what was there and maid a new one called Data and put att.mvno as the Access point name but there is no place to enter the mms settings in there.
I have searched google for hours and days. I give up. Some one out there has got to know the answer. Can you help?

In your MMS app, go to menu>MMS options>servers>add new server. If it's greyed out you have to do a reg edit in HKLM>Software>ArcSoft>MUI and look for "enable server edit" and change the DWORD to "1" After you change that, go back to the MMS options and "add new server" with the following data:
Server - Straight Talk MMS
Gateway - 66.209.11.33
URL - http://mmsc.cingular.com
Port - 80
Connect Via - Whatever you named your connection previously.
When you're done make sure you set that as your default server. I'm doing this from memory so I may have missed a step or the reg edit key may be named differently on the Sprint TP2. BTW, the Sprint and Verizon TP2 only supports EDGE speeds on the AT&T bands. 3G is for the AWS (1700) band like T-Mobile, HTC really screwed the pooch on that one.
Nice thank you very much for your help. My mms works now. I cant believe I did not think to check in my mms program for the place to enter the settings.
I did have to change the registry value to a 1 to gain access to the greyed out button. It was in HKLM>Software>ArcSoft>Arcsoft MMS UA>Config>UI>
Now if I can only get the mms and the sms time to be correct. Do you know any thing about that? My friend can be sitting next to me and send me a sms that I get instantly but the incoming time on the message shows totally wrong. It was like this when I was on Sprints service also. I flashed stock 6.1 and 6.5 and neither fixed it. I have Since or Touch Flow or what ever its called turned off. Just running basic home screen Spb Pocket plus 4.1.0, Spb Phone Suite 1.3.1, Garmin, Pocket shield and some other basic programs. I have a faint memory that out of the box this was not a problem. It may have been after I flashed and installed that it started. But then why did flashing back to stock not fix it? I have never flashed anything other then stock.

I did have to change the registry value to a 1 to gain access to the greyed out button. It was in HKLM>Software>ArcSoft>Arcsoft MMS UA>Config>UI>
So you say that I can get 3G if I get the Wallmart Straight Talk sim card that uses Tmobile? Wow I will try that. My brother just ordered one from Straight talk for his T mobile branded TP2. I will try it in my phone. T mobile has almost as good of reception here on the big island of hawaii as AT&T does.
Now if I can only get the mms and the sms time to be correct. Do you know any thing about that? My friend can be sitting next to me and send me a sms that I get instantly but the incoming time on the message shows totally wrong. It was like this when I was on Sprints service also. I flashed stock 6.1 and 6.5 and neither fixed it. I have Since or Touch Flow or what ever its called turned off. Just running basic home screen Spb Pocket plus 4.1.0, Spb Phone Suite 1.3.1, Garmin, Pocket shield and some other basic programs. I have a faint memory that out of the box this was not a problem. It may have been after I flashed and installed that it started. But then why did flashing back to stock not fix it? I have never flashed anything other then stock.

See, I didn't buy the Walmart ST SIM. I went straight to their website (straighttalkgsm.com) and got an AT&T SIM. I know you have the choice of T-Mobile or AT&T but I think it depends on the area code you will be using. As for the time stamp issue, that sounds more like a software bug than a carrier issue. Just for ****s and giggles, did you enter the proxy info in your connections? I know when I use the proxy info, mobilespeedtest.com reports my ISP as AT&T-Cingular, when I go without the proxy it lists my ISP as "shared block". Whatever that means. Google Maps also locates me faster when I have the proxy info entered. Of course, when I have to tether, I un-check proxy settings. BTW, you didn't hear that from me.

Wow checking the proxy box and putting in 66.209.11.33 does change my results from Shared IP Block to At&t. And it is 4 times faster.
I was getting a consistent download speed of only 77 Kbps and 1.1 Latency
Now I get 295 down and 2.1 Latency.
Im testing some data intensive websights now. Ok they are much faster now. All most as fast as my week reception sprint EVDO revA phone tethered to my router. The only thing sprint has over ST is that sprint does not throttle me until 30 gigs. And I have read that with the AT&T ST sim people are not getting away with much. DSL just came to my part of the jungle so I got rid of my sprint plan. I have no need to tether so much now.
I edited out my confusion from the above posts. It looks like I will never have 3g on the t-mobile or AT&T sim card on my TP2. Here is a link to some supportive reading about why 3G will not work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561656
One more thing I can send and receive Hotmail but cant send and receive Yahoo. When I try it says "Cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings, tap Settings. Settings". Then If I uncheck proxy it works but then I have to go back later to re check and put in 66.209.11.33 to get my faster speed back. Why can Hotmail do it but Yahoo can not?
I had the same problem and all I did was flash a new radio which helped with signal.
Just for fun I put a T-mobile sim card from T-mobile in my TP2. My Edge internet was very slow. So put in the proxy that Straight talk gives there users with T-mobile sims and it was still very slow. Super slow compared to using the Att proxy with the ATT ST sim in my TP2.
One interesting thing I noticed is that this sim had many more electrical contact points on it and it automatically set up the correct MMS setting for me. In comparison the ST sim card had lass contact points and I had to enter the MMS manually my self.
This TP2 Im using this week is bone stock out of the box and it is not handling daylight savings time correctly when putting the time stamp on the sms. I bet there are many good threads about fixing this I have not yet searched.

Simple the settings for the Hotmail account where correct and the ones for yahoo where not.
So this was an easy fix. I click on my sms program. click menu, tools, options, click on my yahoo account, edit account setup,next,next,next, next,advanced server settings. So in here is where i had it wrong. It was on my old internet settings so I changed "network connection" to "internet" that way it will even sync my email using wifi if its on and has internet, instead of needlessly requiring to dial up over the cell data connection.
I tryed this change in the MMS settings also but my MMS wont send so I had to change it back to the cellular data connection.
