Help mms problem generic network error on htc Desire

[jaffanz]

Kia Ora

Just received and have been setting up, htc desire. Wicked phone, can safely say the iPhone has been retired lol.

Getting the MMS not sending generic network error messages whenever i send a PXT/MMS. Looked around, well to be honest trawled the forums all over WWW, and noted that obviously (am here in Vodafone NZ) the APN settings are abscent.

Whacked these in and still can't send MMS. Does anybody have any thoughts?

These are the correct settings according to Vodafone for mms.

NZ APN2 settings
APN 2

I have the same problem with "generic network error" in Denmark, sending MMS....

turns out, i had to literally put the word 'Default' into the first of the two APN entries, the one for web browsing. So one has apn type Default, the other is apn type mms. if the first one is missing the second won't roll.

tricky...

After a few frustrating days of seraching forums and trying various combinations and permutations I have a combination that works on my phone. Usual disclaimer applies (if it causes the phone to explode, nuclear war etc at your own risk.) I have an HTC Desire running Android 2.2. I have tested pxt and mobile broadband which works. Settings as follows:

Name:
Vodafone NZ
APN
live.vodafone.com
Proxy
172.030.038.003
Port
8080

This works for VF NZ there are a couple of settings different to what was posted in the first of these threads. I am sending MMS quite easily now. Thanks

Hi tetley44,

I tried your MMS settings as well as the one @ vodafone's help website and from another forum too. So far no success... But I started off my research because I wanted the internet service to work and now it does!
Strangely enough my settings for internet are as follows:

Name: VF Internet
APN: internet
MMS Protocol: WAP 2.0
MCC: 530
MNC: 01

And that's it! All the other fields were left <not set> and oddly enough... it works. By the way I tried the vodafone's details from their help website and it didn't work for me.

Now I'm stuck with the MMS and WAP services.
I'm leaning to belive that, maybe in my case, the settings are in my SIM card and the phone only has to be "tricked" into looking for the right info from it. Other than that I don't see a reasonable explanation for the internet settings to work this way and the WAP and MMS not to, in any way I've tried so far.

Could you post all your APNs and in wich order they appear in your APNs list? If so I will give it a shot by deleting all I have and re-adding one by one with whatever info you supply.

Cheers mate! =)

To be able to receive MMS I take it I need the mobile network turned on?

I have it turned off at the moment as i don't have a data plan and use free wifi everywhere, and the only APN i have set up is for MMS,
