Droid 4 on Cricket $45 plan - Data & MMS

[xsylus]

As of right now the settings that used to allow me to send and receive are now only allowing me to receive. This is my issue, a setting that works perfectly one day doesn't work the next day. There's no way to efficiently test MMS if it is that temperamental. Further more, time and time again I see others saying the MCC should be set to 310 and the MNC set to either 004 or 016. On my Droid 4 running ICS those settings WILL NOT WORK because the phone hides them from the APN list. It ONLY accepts 311/480.

add your phone # to your username ie 5555555555@mycricket.com
and try that mms.apk its modified 4 cricket...
or try my gsm patch's build.prop
or delete /data/eri.xml then reboot.

So what I did was download the zip file and just extract the auto-conf.xml, made a backup of the original and replaced it with the one from the zip. Rebooted so it would take effect than added my MDN to the user name and changed the MCC to 311 and the MNC to 480. Thus far it's working again! Also under the programming menu for MMS I changed the file size limit from 1228800 to 1024800 because the text message apps auto compress/resize the photos taken with the phone camera to that specified size and while that setting was on 1228800 it wouldn't send my photos but after decreasing that to 1024800 it sent just fine. Hopefully this will continue to work but like I say I've tried so many configurations and had them work one day and stop working the next.

One other thing I wanted to mention. MMS works great when I'm connected via 3G but fails to send when I'm connected via WiFi. I can still receive while connected to WiFi though.

Another thing I find kind of interesting about ICS is that with GB I needed to force my data through a proxy since I'm on the 45 plan but right now my data is working fine without any forced proxy settings

The one from this thread: Cricket ICS and JB Fix for Samsung Epic 4G (MMS Working) - xda-developers

Ok my MMS is working with apns-conf.xml for that file and using MMS.apk also. So far it sending most of time. I cant complain using stock Messaging app.

good i figured it was an ics thing cuz nobody had this much of a prob with gb...

[WickedWayz]

It is ICS thing because when i had GB i worked also. Plus i think Cricket is changing how APN work on their system for newer phones. Plus being Motorola does help cuz they limited how apn work than my samsung epic.
