unlocked Galaxy Nexus on t-mobile USA can't MMS - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Purchased a Galaxy Nexus HSPA direct from google. I am using it on T-Mobile USA on a family plan I share with my daughter. The plan has no data but includes unlimited text and MMS. (We get by on wifi for our Internet needs).
The problem I have is that my daughter's MyTouch 4g Slide (locked to T-Mobile) has been sending and receiving MMS fine with mobile data turned off. This has always been the case for 6 months running and it has not been when on wifi. However, my brand new Nexus cannot send or receive MMS with mobile data turned off. The only scenario I have to send and receive MMS is by turning on mobile data prior to sending an MMS or before one is received.
My goal is to have my Nexus send and receive MMS without having to turn on mobile data (like the older MyTouch 4g slide).
Our settings are slightly different, so replicating hers is not exactly possible. Below are the details of our devices. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Ya, I figure I will give going to the store a chance since I can't find the answer anywhere online. However, my situation is slightly different from yours as I do not have a data plan (but do have unlimited MMS in my contract)

I had a similar issue, which I fixed as follows:
Go to the APN settings, hit the menu key and reset to default.
I later found out that having the APN protocol set to ipv6 was an issue, so I got around that by setting up separate APNs with ipv4 for MMS, and ipv6 for data, etc...

I suspect the stock settings send text message via data and wifi connections. To test try sending a text when you are in your wifi area. As you can see, your daughter has 2 different APN setups while you have one for everything.

Me and my wife were in Florida in June and we brought our GSM Galaxy Nexuses with us.
I just walked in a T-Mobile store and purchased two SIMs. We tried one in my phone and it just wouldn't work with data at all... No MMS, no data.
He tried fiddling with APN settings to no avail until I rebooted the phone and then it all just worked and it worked perfectly fine for the next 3.5 weeks that we were there so I can definately say that if they tell you that it won't work because you don't have a T-mobile phone they're incompetent.
So my advice, reset your APN settings and reboot phone then test. If it doesn't work, start comparing APN settings with the other phone you have that works. And always reboot the phone if it doesn't start working immidiately.

I just had this same problem with my Gnex... Restarted the phone and it worked perfectly.

Would you mind detailing your APNs? I am still having trouble with this.

[Q] Sending MMS Under Froyo FRX06, Tmobile

I know there's a ton of messages on MMS, but I've tried searching and have been unable to find a fix for this. I've got an unlocked TP2 from AT&T running on Tmobile, booting Froyo off of my SDcard. I've got an old Suncom sim card with a grandfathered in 2g data plan, it's not the fastest but it's free and unlimited. I've gotten data & mms to work with this sim in winmo, iphones, and every other phone I've tried, but this is my first experience with android and its giving me a lot of problem.
My APN Settings:
Name: Suncom Net
APN: mobileinternet
MCC: 310
MNC: 490 (suncom's old mnc)
APN Type: default,supl
the rest blank
Name: Suncom WAP
same as above but APN Type is blank
(got mms receiving & data working with this in there so I've left it)
Name: Suncom MMS
APN: wap.voicestream.com
Proxy: 216.155.165.50
Port: 8080
Server: wap.voicestream.com
MMSC: 216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
MMS proxy: 216.155.165.50
MMS port: 8080
MCC: 390
MNC: 490
APN type: mms
I've got data working. I can receive mms perfectly, as long as wifi is disabled. But I cannot get it to work to send an mms. Took me forever to get the receiving mms working and that just turned out to be the naming of the APNs (which I thought was weird) but I feel like I'm missing something else small to get this working.
Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: Forgot to mention I'm not getting an error message, it just hangs. Wifi is disabled. And the edge icon comes up and sends and receives data for a short period of time before it seems like it gives up.
If you are connected to T-mobile's network you should try t-mobile's network settings....
These settings work for me with xdandroid on t-mobile....

Looks like your setting are almost the same except for the MMSC.
IIRC, I couldn't send MMS until setting my MMSC to the address I posted.
Nope not the solution for me. If I use epc.tmobile.com as my apn I don't think I'm getting any connection out, probably due to my older sim I'm thinking, just from watching the upload/download icon, very little activity. Don't even get a notification for a failed download of mms picture with it.
Trying that MMSC with wap.voicestream.com as my apn I'm at least getting a connection out, a lot of upload/download activity, and getting a download failed notification trying to download an mms.
The only thing I think I haven't tried is changing the mms user agent, but I'm receiving pictures at 128kb, much bigger than what I would think an unrecognized user agent would receive. But so far most of the mms setup for android has been different than what I've seen before so maybe it'll work.
Also a newer Tmobile sim might fix it too, but I've had it working in other phones. It works flawlessly in windows mobile on the same phone. Again I'm thinking it's a combination of the sim card either the mms user agent of android or some other identification tmobile is getting from my phone showing up as android.
I think that with highlands new RIL, MMS works, you just have to enter the right APN settings.

GSM MMS worked in the original RIL too, I didn't change any of that. The only thing new regarding MMS in my RIL is for CDMA phones.

[Q] Connecting my S3 to AT&T data?

Greetings!
This afternoon I received my AT&T branded S3. A friend signed up for AT&T and wanted to keep his old phone so I purchased the S3 from him.
Upon booting up I am able to connect to the AT&T network, however data services are not working. I noticed that it was connecting to the PTA access point pre-setup on the phone so I tried adding the usual AT&T WAP access point (wap.cingular.com). I have had many "international" phones before so I am accustomed to setting up all of the settings myself. I am stuck here though as I am unable to figure this one out.
I would appreciate any and all help!
Thank you in advance,
Matt
data
i received mine today also. i tried cutting my galaxy s ll sim down and using it. i had not data. so i had to call att and it is a totally different data scheme for the 4g lte. i was on the phone for 45 minutes before all was fixed. i had the old grandfathered unlimited data plan and it was looking bad for a while, but they finally did some checking and over rode the system to modify my current unlimited data plan to work with the new s lll. i have never had a problem with the service i get from att, today was no different, they fixed me up and this phone is sweeeet. so it may be your problem also and have to switch to the new data for the 4g lte.
Solved!
Called AT&T, first level support tried reprovisioning my account (turn off phone, wait 2 minutes, call back), had me setup voicemail and then tried telling me my SIM was not a 4G sim (I cut down my old SIM, by old I mean 3 days old). Eventually got escalated to true tech support, they wanted to reprovision my account again, I let them know we just tried that but I'd be happy to do it again. Lo-and-behold this time it worked!
No change of data plan necessary, I had the 2GB plan from before.
I also had no date, but i just added a new apn and it worked. Try this:
Name: AT&T US HSDPA
APN: phone

Fedex just dropped my phone!!
Man, this is really super nice looking phone!
I sold my Skyrocket like 2 weeks ago for this. Living with iCrap (iPhone 3GS) for 2 weeks was god awful experience (I gave my iPhone 4 to my wife so..). I'm like in heaven now....
ordered 6/6 premier, blue. bayarea Nocal. It's delivered like 2:15PM.
I hope everyone gets what they want as soon as possible....
Just had a buddy try the wap.cingular settings and it worked.
looking to use my S3 without calling in and changing my phone type. Leaving it at iphone so i can use both with no issues.
Does anybody have the full apn settings? is there a separate one for mms?

You need reprovisioning. PTA is the correct apn And necessary for lte. It will slow down all the way through 4g3g and edge. Mine does.

APN settings for AT&T ???

Can someone forward the APN settings that you are using on your phone

Depends on your data plan on AT&T.
If you have the simple 3G smartphone plan, you can use the wap.cingular APN which is:
Code:
Name: Cingular 410
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: Blank
Port: Blank
Username: [email protected]

MMS Port: Blank
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication type: Blank
APN Type: default,supl,mms
APN protocol: leave as is
Bearer: leave as is
If you have the Smartphone on 4G provisioned on your plan you can use the Phone APN which seems to be faster. My Nexus is provisioned for the later 4G plan and I combined my MMS with the Internet for one APN:
Code:
Name: AT&T HSPA+
APN: phone
Proxy: Blank
Port: Blank
Username: blank
Password: blank
Server: blank
MMSC: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMS Proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS Port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication type: Blank
APN Type: default,supl,mms,hipri
APN protocol: leave as is
Bearer: leave as is
You'll need to check on your AT&T plan to see what data plan you have. If you don't have Smartphone on 4G you can't use the phone apn. You have to use the cingular.wap one. I'm getting about 5 mb/s down and 1.1 mb/s up using the phone apn.
Hope this helps and remember the Thanks button!

Thanks for this. I searched the forums and whatever else thread that has the supposed APN info did not work. This though, works like a charm. :highfive:
Thanks! This APN for 4G worked on my T999 SG3 from T-Mobile that I just put on ATT. I managed to get 3.49 Mbps down from it. 4G icon. I guess this means my Iphone 5 LTE wont be used now lol.
It's not the APN, it's how the mms.apk was compiled. Download Go SMS Pro from the market, disable stock MMS app, go through the ADVANCE Settings in Go SMS. Find MMS Custom Agent & type "Android"
Done & Done.
I hope it works for you, too!

[Q] PLZ help tmobile s3 on straightalk (t-mobile sim)

Good day!!! well this problem has been driving me crazy for the past 6-7 hours. i bought an unlocked tmobile s3 and i'm trying to get data(4g) on this phone with straight talk. calling and texting work fine but data is a no go.
I have litterally tried over 10 diferent apn combinations found online, provided by stratight talk rep and this website and none have worked. with most of them i get the small 4g label to light up next to my signal strenghth implying that my phone is connected to data, but when ever i try looking for somenthing with the browser or the playstore it says i have no internet connection or it redirects me to a website
here are some of the apn combinations i've tried:
NAME:STRAIGHT_TALK
APN:wap.tracfone
PORT:8080
MMS_APN:wap.tracfone
MMSC: ttp://mms.tracfone.com (H at the beggining)

APN:wap.tracfone
Proxy: 216.155.165.40
PORT:8080
MMS Proxy: 216.155.165.40
MMSC: blank
I'm starting to think that the permanent APN settings for tmobile, which i can't remove, are maybe causing conflict with straightalk's apn settings despite the fact my phone stays on straightalk apn settings.
please someone help me, i'm about to smash the phone and move on.
Try:

you do this by making sure the green dot, the straightalk apn is selected correct? if so it is and still not working.
I assume you are able to make and receive calls just fine. Silly question but I assume, your Straight Talk account is all set for data and what not ?
EDIT - What baseband do you have right now ?

yep i'm able to receive and make calls just fine and data is also configured. my baseband is 800/1900 i believe...
Baseband is not the operating frequency. Its the text you see when you go to Settings > About>Baseband. Please provide that value
Have you confirmed with Straight talk that your account is configured correctly for data and the sim is a newer sim ? Also try the sim in some other phone to see if you get data there.

When I get an MMS, it just gives me the option to download the msg, but never actually does.
Anyone have any idea?

that is my settings also, now if ur using a different rom, from the N9005.. I get that message and its due to the message size, tmobile has 1mb download and overseas rom has 300mb, so if someone is send a pic that is too big, u won't receive it..
I jump around from different roms, and sometimes I get that when the pic is too big...
but if ur on a tmobile rom, u should not get that message..

Thanks for posting your settings.
So I'm glad I left my straight talk service active. After I left my house's wifi connection and drive one hour to work I found out that not one area within 1 hour of my home gets ANY t-mobile service. All I can connect to is AT&T, and with NO data services, since I'm roaming,
I switched to T-Mobile to take advantage of the Wifi Calling feature on my Note 3 N900T (Factory Unlocked). It works awesome, and is just what I need, since all I can get at my home is Verizon, sadly.
Anyhow, I'm going to give up on T-Mobile and go back to Straight Talk AT&T LTE and just live with not being able to Make or Receive calls on my Cell at home. It would be nice if AT&T would support this feature.
Does anyone know of a good WIFI calling service that integrates into your phone well? Without getting another number assigned to your phone, like most of the services (apps) on Google Play do.
Thanks.
