Here's a short post if you ever come to a problem setting up MMS on Google's Nexus One phone.
As far as I've figured it out, the problem emerges if your operator requires different APN's for Internet connection and MMS service.
To skip all the trouble I had figuring out what's the problem, the bottom line is that you must set APN type for the one that you use for Internet access to "default" and APN type for MMS must be set to "mms". Caps matter.
All the time I've left APN type for the Internet APN empty. Nexus One lets you write anything you want for acces, other Android devices usually let you choose from one of the predefined values. If you left it empty, Internet access will work, but if you define another APN for MMS (there you must enter "mms" as APN type), MMS won't work. When you set APN type of the Internet APN to "default", and left everything else as before, MMS will start working.
Here are the sample settings for my operator (BH Mobile) that work on my Nexus One.
- Internet APN
- Name: BHMobile
- APN: active.bhmobile.ba
- Proxy:
- Port:
- Username:
- Password:
- Server:
- MMSC:
- MMS Proxy:
- MMS port:
- MCC: 218 (this can be different for your operator, Nexus One usually automatically recognizes it)
- MNC: 90(this can be different for your operator, Nexus One usually automatically recognizes it)
- Authentication type: None
- APN type: default (this was the problem all the time while MMS didn't work, it was not set)
- MMS APN
- Name: BHMobileMMS
- APN: mms.bhmobile.ba
- Proxy:
- Port:
- Username:
- Password:
- Server:
- MMSC: http://mms.bhmobile.ba/cmmsc/post
- MMS Proxy: 195.222.056.041
- MMS port: 8080
- MCC: 218 (this can be different for your operator, Nexus One usually automatically recognizes it)
- MNC: 90(this can be different for your operator, Nexus One usually automatically recognizes it)
- Authentication type: None
- APN type: mms
What is really weird is that Internet APN setting was causing problems with MMS APN. I assume that it was using the Internet APN when trying to send MMS until I've set the APN type to default. Afterwards, it searched the MMS APN and used the correct one. Just assumption...
