I have an AT&T Tilt unlocked and am using it for T-Mobile. The phone works great with the exception of a few things. What do I need to do in order for my Internet and MMS messages to work?
Also does anyone know of any shortcut for text messaging? It seems that you have to go through so many steps to start a text.
Thanks!
settings are different with other carriers
I am not exactly sure what settings would have to be changed to make the internet work but I know I have read it a few times for different ROMS, I just didn't need the advice since mine works. Search the forums and find out what TMobile runs off of. As far as how quick it takes to get to texts, you can change a key to them and there are a ton of programs that offer shortcuts.
for MMS the setttings need to be:
Server name: T-Mobile MMS
Gateway: 216.155.165.50
Port Number: 8080
server address: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
connect via: T-mobile MMS
Wap version: WAP 2.0
for the internet go to connection settings and for the connection name enter
T-mobile Data
access point name: wap.voicestream.com
user name and password leave blank
thanks for the quick response. Where exactly do I go to enter this information?
thanks again

Thank you for the link
it also depends on which internet plan u have? if its the 5.99 tzones plan, its a little more difficult to set up, let me know if u have that one and i'll tell u how.. if ur using the 19.99 plan, simply go to settings-->connections-->connection setup, and set it up for tmobile USA. it'll also set up ur mms at the same time. good luck

oh wait... ur using the tilt rom... thats probably NOT gonna be there... i'd advise u to flash to a different rom.. sorry
Hi,
to speed up your textmessaging you can copy the files tnsms(for SMS) or tnmms (for MMS) for the windowsdirectory in your startupfolder.
These files open a new SMS or MMS an you wont have to do many steps.
Then you have possibility to choose these applications in your buttonapplication, where you can assign applications to buttons.
yes i have th 5.99 plan can you still help?
sms settings on tilt
Sorry mms settings......
Does anyone know where these are ?
my buddy is on tmobile and it took me a good day to figure out the correct settings... I honestly don't understand why tmobiles mms settings are so hard to setup while atts is really easy
hey, just as a warning, i was never able to get the 5.99 settings to work on the original tilt rom, and another user on this forum also never got it to work. the 19.99 internet works fine on the tilt rom. dunno its weird. however when i flashed over to a different rom, it worked no problems.
1- go to connections, and add new connection cellular line, gprs 3G, call it whatever you want
2- access point name: wap.voicestream.com, leave the next one blank and then finish.
3- now click on manage existing connections, click on proxy settings on the bottom right tab
4. make sure both boxes are checked, and enter 216.155.165.50 as the proxy server.
5- click on advanced, and double click on http: and change the port to 8080. leave everything else the same. ok out to the original connections settings screen.
6- click on the advanced tab on the bottom. click on select networks and set both of them to my work network
thats it.. IE should work now no problems, and set any pop3 email accounts to connect to my work network. good luck

i have no idea how to flash to a new rom. Is this something that you think i can do easily and without ruining my phone?
I am running into the same issue too, no MMS, but Internet works good on the 5.99, so i am really wanting the MMS to work.. I hope i dont have to have the $19.99 to have it to work.. that would suck! HELP!!!
Hi All,
I have a problem with phone !!! My Optimus2X changes sometimes my APN for another one which doesn't work, I lose DATA connection and battery drains really fast
All my APNs which are configured on the phone by default !
I can select manually the good APN but sometimes the phone selects another one (Probably after lose the signal GSM)!
Do you have an idea ?
PS: sorry for my english, i hope you will understand me....
You can delete the APN's you don't want and just keep the ones you use.
FIRST: Write down settings of APN's you use (you can probably find them on the internet later anyway).
Download an application called APN Backup & Restore. Do a backup (my phone had around 350 APN). Delete all APN's.
Now go to Settings -> Wireless Controls -> Mobile Networks -> Acces Point Names, press "Menu" and select add new APN. Type in all the settings and save it.
I just did that to fix my GPS and it works fine. I had seperate settings for Internet and for MMS.

YES !!!
Thanks man ! It's ok now...
I have deleted all the VPN (after the backup : 1560 APN saved ? , also I had only 4 on the "menu").
And I have configure only one which is OK for me
Thanks again for your complete answer
With this method, all APNs will be deleted.
If I go in the other country, my phone will find correct APN to pass & receive calls & sms ?
Hey guys, I've had this issue to and have shared this in the past but here it is again.
A lot of people complain they can't send or recieve MMS despite proper APN settings (i.e. calls, 3G working fine) after flashing a new rom.
The solution is very simple.
Just go to your phone's APN settings and delete ALL the extra settings except for the one that your phone needs to use. I've had this issue repeatedly where there were like 5 settings. ALL YOU NEED IS THE ONE SETTING i.e. delete everything else.
For eg. for me since I am on Rogers, in Canada my APN settings only list Rogers MMS as my APN and nothing else. When I had flashed the rom I had 5 settings there, I just deleted the others. MAKE SURE YOU DON'T delete ALL of them, unless you know your APN settings.
Another quick reminder, APN (access point names) settings in ICS are found in "More" under Wifi and Bluetooth in phone settings and in there click "Mobile Networks" then "Access Point Names"
Cheers
Hello All,
I'm trying to get a stock Verizon OG Droid to work on Pageplus.
I activated it recently and the 3G data and text messaging seems to work just fine but picture messages/mms aren't received nor sent ...
I assume this has something to do with a apn settings or some options, any help would be appreciated
Thanks,
Pete
You have to create a second APN for MMS in addition to the mobile data APN.
You should be able to find the necessary information in the help pages of your provider - or use google.
Interesting thing is i have tried sending that phone smaller pictures and it seems to receive them, can this be a MMS size limit issue ?
How does one resolve this ?
I am not sure if the APN would cure this problem anymore or has anything to do with it...

I'm pretty sure there's a size limit on MMS too.
Usually the picture is resized when attaching it.
Perhaps i should check the APN settings because it seems very flaky still...
I could not find out where the settings are on this phone, can someone point them out to me ?
Thanks,
Pete
Settings > Wireless > Mobile network > APNs > press menu key > select "Add APN"
Something like this - I don't have any stock 2.x devices to check...
Hi,
Phone rooted and using TrickDroid ROM. When I ran the setup configuration only my parent network was available (on T-Mo UK and only had the option of choosing EE).
This worked fine for data although I couldn't send MMS. I've added an additional APN for MMS which I believe to be configured with the correct settings however in the APN options I can't deselect the original APN for MMM e-zone as it shows the padlock icon.
Does anyone know how to unlock this APN so I can use the newly added settings for MMS?
I have the same problem on stock.
I added a new APN for my carrier's MMS. saved it, but can't select it or deselect the original.
Would really love it of someone could resolve this as its driving me cwaaazy
