1356031 2013-10-14 02:12:00 Got a Lenovo A820 phone here. Was imported from China, then rooted and flashed with a ROM from needrom.com, it would appear to be a very well supported ROM, with tons of good comments too. Certainly apart from this one issue, it's awesome.

With a Vodafone SIM, the phone works perfectly. Can send and receive MMS no problem. Put the 2Degrees SIM in, and it will not send or receive MMS. The APN settings the SIM puts into the phone are correct according to the 2Degrees website, and certainly the phone can send a receive texts, and get online using 3G fine, it's just the MMS that's the problem.

I've also tried re-adding the MMS APN and double checking all the settings, with no change.

Any ideas what else I could check? I've posted about this on the needrom site too, and the general consensus there is my APN settings have to be wrong. While it may be technically right, it isn't a lot of help. :p

Thanks.

1356032 2013-10-14 03:02:00 This is what i put into my old Android for 2D. I seem to remember that the APN settings that were sent to me would not work for MMS. I used the sittings below(input manually) and they work OK.

1. "Application" > "Settings" > "Wireless controls" > "Mobile networks" > "Access Point Names"

2. If APN '2degrees isn't shown Press "Menu" > "New APN". Fill out the below fields:

Name: 2degrees

APN: 2degrees

"Save"

MMS Settings

1. "Application" > "Settings" > "Wireless controls" > "Mobile networks" > "Access Point Names"

2. Again, if 'mms' isn't shown Press “Menu” > "New APN"
