Is there a way to reset the APN for cricket? all of a sudden I can't receive MMS and I am not re flashing again,I've done it once since I couldn't receive MMS, it just says unsuccessful, i can send them however


Download APN MANAGER by 81 square in the ANDROID MARKET.Select CRICKET as your provider,activate & leave the rest of the settings alone & you should be good to go.

I just selected the appropriate carrier,(CRICKET or METRO PCS),mine being CRICKET,activated APN & left the rest of the settings alone.So far,SMS/MMS works,was able to attach an article & successfully sent & received the MMS to a NON-CRICKET phone.Currently testing w/a CRICKET to CRICKET MMS. Will post results as soon as possible.


UPDATE:Successfully sent & received an MMS containing a video attachment from one CRICKET phone to another. 100% SMS/MMS Success!

Even though i have metro I was curious if you could receive mms from a non cricket carrier? I have gotten all aspects of the mms to work using apn manager except for receiving pictures from other carrier. The mms will show as downloading but will never fully download.

Interesting enough when I flashed backed to factory and loaded APN manager I noticed there are two totally different APN settings for Metro from whats in the Stock APN settings and the APN manager software. At this point I am trying to figure out where the stock apn manamger loads it apn settings from. It's not the telephony.db file not the apn xml file from what I can tell by looking at the two compared to whats loaded by default.

Anyone still having MMS problems should try APN MANAGER by 81 square,from the ANDROID MARKET.Very simple fix for my CM7 CRICKET MMS issues.


That didnt work at all for me :(

Im on cricket... But it seems more n more ppl are havin probs...I wonder if its because of the merge with pocket?! Cuz I know they are trying to get rid of pocket service altogether while trying to "merge" their towers :/ smh @ crickets nonsense

After 5 days of trying to figure this out I just flashed back to CM6. MMS works out the box with that build. What I don't understand is when I flash to CM6, Open up the APNs manager, MetroPCS does not have a green light by default but by not even turning it on I can still send and get MMS correctly so does it pull from the telephony.db file by default because the manager reflects the apn xml file info I think. ...or is there a hidden or unknown file because the factory build reflects neither the xml or db file information as it has no apn, username, password or apn type.

@Ashley I would conclude the overall problems for those whom the fix will not work for is related to the CM7 build and not the carriers. If you were to go back to CM6 that would verify my assumption.
