Hi there...
First of all, I’m so sorry if I created an existing topic with same problem but I need some help and explanations regarding my problem from my fellow androiders. I'm having difficulties with my MMS setting. I tried to Google and read the available topic in this forum but it didn’t work for me.
Last week, I subscribed Celcom Weekly Broadband and the subscription ended few days ago. I never had any 3G or MMS setting in my phone. To commence with my problem, I called Celcom Careline last week and they gave me these 2 settings to me. (Situation: 1st day of Celcom Weekly Broadband)
Here's the setting:
So, in my APN settings, I have 2 settings which:
- Celcom 3G (got green round button)
- Celcom 3G MMS

When I tested it, I can browse the internet and the MMS works well. After the weekly broadband ended, from this thread: [Guide] Manual APN Setting gajahwhite told me that "once you already receive the MMS. You can delete the Celcom 3G APN setting. The other one (Celcom MMS APN setting) no need to delete."


My PROBLEMs are:

1) After I deleted the Celcom 3G APN, the mms won't work. My MMS sending and receiving failed. When I clicked the [download] button in messaging, it says "Currently cannot download ..."
In my APN setting, the Celcom 3G MMS doesn't have the green round button. If I change the APN type to be MMS, (the green round button appeared but still can't retrieve mms)

2) If I changed the APN type to default, my problem was, when I send the mms it seem I have to turn on my mobile network and it cost me money…but it works! I got Facebook widget on my home screen and it appears to update the status by itself and I can browse the Market and Facebook apps even though I didn’t have any Celcom 3G APN in my settings.

I should not be able to surf Market and Facebook apps right? :blur: Suddenly without sending or receiving MMS, My prepaid credit from RM25 now has become 0.09cent. Sigh...is it because of the apps that are running in the background? (Some of the apps do have the privilege to access the Internet right)? BUT if I turn it off, MMS picture, be it in sending or receive seem not working. How to enable the MMS without “kredit kena telan”?

Yeah. I do have streamyX in kL and but now I'm at my hometown. So...no matter how what, I need to enable the 3G APN to received my MMS lar?

p/s: I might be misunderstood with explanation from this website: celcom-apn-setting-for-android-device

I'm misunderstood gajahwhite explanation. I thought that after I received the MMS, I can deleted the 3G APN and I can surely send and receive any MMS without the 3G APN setting. (just using the Celcom 3G MMS APN).

Sorry for asking this, how to set the background data to update manually? It is in the Setting --> Account & Sync ---> Background data?

So by untick it, those widget and background data will not suck my credit right? Or do I need to delete all those widget at my homescreen and open all apps setting that can turn off the auto-update?

So how's about the explanation from the website that I posted a few seconds ago? Is it him wrong or I'm the one AGAIN misunderstood the how-the-MMS-works-with-APN?

thanks master cleave

@mfadzil
I tried to use only 2G MMS setting & use Handcent to send or retrieve the MMS but it didn't work. I need to enable the 3G APN to make it work.

@MyWifeCar
No luck for me.

So...the conclusion to send or retrieve MMS, is it necessary to have the 3G APN or not?

Based on gajahwhite and LEVIATHAN explanation, we do need the 3G APN.

is it the mobile data equals to the background data like LEVIATHAN explained above?

Do u use prepaid or postpaid? I think your handphone got 3G APN lar
Or you just have the mms setting only? (without 3G APN)

...sigh! No problem lar for you. Hehe ...
I'm gonna wait for mfadzil to post now. I'm still confuse lol

Does she have the 3G APN enabled in her phone setting?
I'm using the old android generation G1 a.k.a HTC Dream

Without unlimited data plan means that, if she browsed the internet, the data charges (10cent/10kb) will be on her bill right?

Currently I'm at my hometown so got no Wifi yet to test. The Wifi idea sounds great mate! Thanks! .. The problem that bothered me was "kredit kena telan". So I might try LEVIATHAN suggested which disabled those widget and background data and set it to update manually.

So I'm gonna keep my both Celcom 3G APN & Celcom 3G MMS in my phone setting after my celcom weekly broadband deadline (just subscribed it few days ago again) . So I'm gonna test it next week. Hopefully no more "kredit kena telan"

Just tested it using 2G MMS and the weirdest thing was I can't set the MNC # to 13. I tested using 13 but somehow the settings cannot be saved.
But, you can't set it to 19! weird huh..

Sorry for troubling you mate

@huruhara: i thought if you were already able to send mms, you should be able to retrieve it without no problem :blur:

just downloaded APNdroid

@daeric & huruhara: mind sharing the Celcom 3G WAP APN setting?

bro..
I think your configuration setting's wrong. It should be this way.

CELCOM 3G SETTING (tick it @ round green button should be on)
Name: celcom3g
apn: celcom3g
apn type: default

CELCOM 3G MMS SETTING
name: celcom3g mms
apn: celcom3g
mmsc: http://mms.celcom.net.my
mms proxy: 10.128.1.242
mms port: 8080
apn type: mms


Other than that, leave it to the default value. You still having problem with MMS right? And try to delete the Celcom 3G WAP setting.
Btw, if you're in PREPAID, please do untick the background data. It is in the Setting --> Account & Sync ---> Background data

Hahaha!
I'm using internet now. Currently switching off my phone.
Just try to send the MMS to yourself.

Hmm. Now you have Celcom 3G and Celcom 3G MMS setting right?
The green round button is applicable to Celcom 3G right?

Confusing :blur:

Taken from [GUIDE] Manual APN Setting

Thanks for those helped me out. Just tested yesterday with my MMS (my celcom broadband expired already). Hey! It works and my "kredit tak kena telan". It went smoothly. I just need to TURN OFF the background data & other account sync.

Thank you very much!

My conclusion: We DO need the 3G APN to retrieve and send MMS.
