MMS? - Nokia Lumia 900

I have an unlocked Nokia Lumia 900 from Rogers. As I'm sure most people here know, getting MMS to function on an unlocked [Nokia] Windows Phone can be a hassle. I've tried hard resetting my phone, changing the APN, etc, and so far I've had no luck whatsoever. Can someone guide me through a process that will enable MMS to work? It's fairly important considering the number of messages I send/receive every day...

Download Network Setup from the Nokia collection. That will configure MMS.

It's not available in Canada, for whatever reason.

Sorry, there's no way to configure MMS without Network Setup.

Are you sure you have Tango?

Tango doesn't let you edit MMS apn's.

Hi,
I had the same issue with Fido until another user on here helped me out. I called Fido and had them reset my data package. I believe the user called it re-provisioning. I have attached the link to the original thread. I just said I was having data issues which was not untrue because my data connection was extremely slow and that I had talked to someone who suggested reseting (re-provisioning) the data plan. After the re-provisioning the MMS started working and my Visual Voice mail (visiual voicemail through mms, not the windows phone as its not supported on Rogers from what I understand). In addition my data connection finally seemed to work correctly.
here is the link:

Hope that helps.

I'm trying to set-up MMS to work on T-Mobile USA. The problem is that the Network Setup app is missing some of the MMS APN settings fields, specifically, MCC, MNC and APN Type. Do you know of any way to work around this problem?

I ran the network setup app and everything works fine on TMo US. MMS & Data. The settings pane (Settings > Cellular > Edit APN info) remains blank, but the settings are there.

Thanks. I finally got it to work last night after I did the 8773 update.

I don't know if u still care or not, but u can flash the Mexico's latest ROM (telcel or smth), you won't have LTE, but you'll have everything else functional (mms and tethering included)! And you'll also lose the rogers splashscreen... yay

Has anyone tried the Country Variant Mexico MX Black LTE V1???

Yes, I have. I tried both this one and the TelCel rom. Both of them allowed me to finally use internet sharing and MMS. I'm pretty sure LTE works on both roms too it is just shown as 4G instead of LTE and when you are on HSPA it shows H instead of 4G like with the stock Rogers rom (and probably AT&T too). When tethered and showing 4G as the connection on my phone, I have gotten 1.5 MB/s down and about 800 KB/s up so I'm pretty sure that's an LTE connection. When I went to the cellular settings and changed it to only use 3G data, I get about 150 KB/s down and 80 KB/s up.

Tmobile problems, Need help badly...Please help :(

So i have searched and searched but have not found something that works. I have an unlocked USCC Touch Pro 2 that i am using on Tmobile. Calls and Text work fine but when it comes to MMS and Data i am stuck. Whenever i try to send an MMS i get a Box saying there is no data connection. I even installed a preconfigured tmobile MMS cab. Still no luck. Can someone help me with the data settings? Thanks.

Is this a US Cellular phone? I'm surprised that a CDMA phone works on T-Mobile's (GSM) network at all... But if you can receive calls then I guess it does.
The data setting for T-Mobile -- the APN -- is epc.tmobile.com
So...if you have a place under Settings>Connections>Manage/Edit existing connections for APN or Access Point Name then epc.tmobile.com is it for data.
I don't know about MMS...I don't use it.
Its a CDMA/GSM phone.
MMS is wap.voicestream.com

Did you try the APN I suggested and did it work -- did you get a data connection?
Anyone know of a CAB that does all this Data and MMS settings like a T-Mobile Carrier Provisioning?

[Q] Flashed Xperia PLAY, now I get no 3G network

I flashed my Xperia PLAY last night, with a UK .ftf. I originally had a US .ftf (or I assume, I live in canada). It's asking if I'm on Rogers or Fido whenever I try to use my data network and it didn't before I flashed it. I don't seem to get 3G network anywhere, except very few places in my town, when I used to get it everywhere. I'm not sure if coincidentally the Rogers 3G networks are down or not. I'm downloading a supposed "rogers branded 2.3.3" .ftf, hoping it solves this. I just want to know if the reason I'm not getting 3G is because I flashed with a UK .ftf?
Oh, the reason I flashed was because my Xperia PLAY somehow bricked itself. I hadn't done any modding or root attempts whatsoever before this. I had only learned of flashing yesterday.
If you haven't set your APNs yet, you'll need to do so. Generic UK didn't get a 3G signal before I did that. APN settings are in Settings > Wireless Controls > Mobile Networks.

Ah thank you, that fixed it. I have a question though, I found on the internet the APN settings for 3G and for MMS. However I can't enable both. Or does the 3G one include MMS?
To be honest, I'm not sure. MMS on my phone has always been hit or miss. I think the 3G APN works for both.

Hm, alright. Thanks for the help!
There's two sets of settings floating around out there. One has both Data and MMS. The other has two, one for data and one for MMS. Only the data one of the two needs to be selected. MMS will just work.

[Q] MMS issue

I just got the Lumia 900, and everything is working fine except I cannot send/receive MMS. I am currently on the newest update, but my APN settings were not built into the phone like they should have been. I manually inputed them and the data is working fine now, but pictures still will not send. Am I the only one with this problem? If not, has anyone figured out a fix? I called both Nokia and At&t. At&t told me the issue was that I didn't have a data plan, which I do, and Nokia told me to have At&t send an APN update push to my phone. At&t said they couldn't do that. Anyway, let me know if you all know of anything that could help.
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE: After spending 2 hours on the phone with AT&T and Nokia, I finally got tired and called an AT&T rep that I know. She took a look at my account and realized that I had data on my account, but it was never set up with the 4G data which is why I could access the internet via HSPA or HSPA+ but couldn't get MMS. The phone was just confused. She made the change for me and it's working fine now. If you're on AT&T, just call 611 and make sure you're on an LTE plan, not just a 4G plan and see if that fixes your problem.

Something seems wonky here.
You have a Lumia 900 on AT&T with a qualifying DATA plan, and you can't get MMS.
A couple of thoughts:
What aren't you saying? Hacked? Rooted, Unlocked??? Bought it off of eBay?
Have you tried a Hard Reset with the sim in? During setup, the first indication of a setup problem is, Time Zone, Region, Time are not setup automatically. Does this happen?
Do you have an official mini sim, or is this a cut down one? Cut down ones...might not work.
Take it back to the place you bought it....do a hard reset in front of them. Does it work? By work I mean does it detect time zone, time, your number. NO, its not usual for them not to...don't believe that if they tell you that. If there is NO detection....something is wrong..either with the Sim or the account.
Have them check your account...right there...is it setup? You should NOT have to input an apn on this phone, if all of the above is correct.
I have had 2 lumia's and a Samsung Focus S since March 2nd. Each one had to have the account reset. For some reason something went wonky on the phone during setup. Dropped vm, one time it was data plan not initializing. A Quick check caught them...

I am in the same boat. Bone stock 900.
Looks like an issue with 4G. When I change my data connection to 3G MMS works as expected, change it back to 4G, no workie...
I was going to mess around with APN to see if I can get one set up that works. There is a Nokia Network Setting app that can help with this but it's not on the Market Place anymore. I've been doing some searching and this appears to occur on many different carriers with 4G. I'm in the US on ATnT, but it is happening overseas too.

Might have figured mine out, I added an APN
apn: wap.cingular
user: [email protected] (all caps)
pass: CINGULAR1 (all caps)
proxy: 66.209.11.32
port: 8080
There is not slot for MMS so I skipped that, it would be:
mmsc: http://mmsc.cingular.com
Go to settings
Cellular
Edit APN
Input the above
Save (check mark)
I then toggled in airplane mode for 30 secs and then out of it. Sent my self a MMS and it worked, sent one from my wife's phone and it worked. Both of those scenarios were failing on 4G before. PITA
That app is off the marketplace

glad you got it to work. Are you in an LTE area?? I still maintain that having to input that apn indicates something is not correct. But, also realize you gotta get the phone working

Yes it work but..... It seemed to have reduced my data download speeds. So I deleted the APN and that got my LTE speed back.
Will toggle to 3g when an MMS fails for me. Will also start to bug ATnT about this too.

Hearing from a couple decent sources there is a fix coming soon from Nokia. Not holding my breath for today or tomorrow but I did get the same info from a couple of different sources.

I'm more convinced than ever tht LTE may not be our friend. Nokia may be finished with the beta test, but AT&T isn't...or any other carrier that is
Can send MMS via LTE with my L900. No connection problems since I got it before launch day. Do you have a properly provisioned micro-sim.

MMS not sending or downloading

every since i got my GN it has had trouble sending or receiving MMS, doesnt matter if i'm on 3g or wifi
i have tried clearing the cache and force closing, this works about 20% of the time
anyone know of a fix for this?
From what I've experienced and know, you can't only send/receive MMS through 2g/3g, NOT wifi. MMS is a carrier based service, which is why it won't work on wifi. Some roms have the ability to download on Wi-Fi though, don't know of any here, but quite a few on the G2x.
Anyways, how long do you give it to send/receive till you decide that its a "failure"? It would also help to disable "auto retrieve" in the Messaging app.

This issue is most likely related to the apn settings provided by your carrier. I had this issue too, and found out on two separate carriers that I needed data on one, even though it said I didn't. On the other carrier, I just had the APN settings wrong, and that my current carrier allows MMS through 3g data without charging for it.

+1. This.
You need to verify your MMS APN settings with your carrier.

On your phone.

You can probably find the correct settings on Sprints website somewhere or by googling Sprint APN

Bell issue?

I have a Rogers Lumia 900 unlocked and am using it on Bell. I have the latest updates and haven't had the data connectivity issue since the first update several months ago was sent out. Last night I lost data connectivity over the cell network and still haven't gotten it back. Wifi works fine though. Is anybody having this issue on a Lumia 900 on Bell?
Hey
Hey Brother if you are having data issues and even issues with calls going to VM sometimes outta nowhere go get your sim changed, i had the issue and i realized i was using bells 4G micro sim and i actually needed the new 4G LTE micro sim once i got all that setup the phone part of my lumia runs fantastic no data issues what so ever

Thanks for the reply. I should already have the LTE sim. I made sure I asked for that when I got my Lumia. I haven't noticed any issues with calls going to VM without ringing... just lost my data last night.
Well I seem to have fixed it. I added the proxy address of web.wireless.bell.ca port 80 to the APN settings and my data is back. That seems really strange to me that I'd have to do that since it's been working without the proxy ever since I bought my Lumia. When I got it, I tried it with and without the proxy as well as both APN's for bell... pda.bell.ca and inet.bell.ca and they all worked. O well it's working again so that's all that really matters.
Glad to hear it's working now..
Wondering if you can confirm a couple things..
Internet sharing, is it locked for you? As well is MMS or group texting working for you?

Internet sharing is locked for me... I tried a Rogers sim in my phone and it worked perfect but locked with the Bell sim. MMS it not working as the network setup app from Nokia is available. I haven't tried group texting so I can't comment on that.

I'm pretty sure there's no speculation as to whether or not it will fix it. That is the only thing holding back MMS from working as it allows us to change the MMS servers. Once that app is available again, we will have working MMS as long as you put in the correct MMS server.
