Verizon lumia 822 with straight talk

[anchito27]

JKing106, What is the exact name of the access point app for the Lumia 822? I tried looking under access point and no luck. Also, is the marketplace the best way to find said app?

 

[JKing106]

It's called "Access Point." Look for an App called Sysapp Pusher on the store. Google for it if not. After installing that, install "Extras + Info" from Sysapp Pusher. Access point should then be in your Settings menu.

JKING106 You are the man! Thank you very much for your help. The access point app showed up in the setings menu right after I installed it, but I went back in and installed the info and extras anyway. Thanks Again and you have a good Thanksgiving! I know I will because I will have this phone ready to go for my wife as soon as I get the sim card!

 

[JKing106]

Glad I could help. Use the settings for MMS I posted. They work for me. Let me know if you need more help.

Ah, ok. You are using the fields under the "Cellular" entry. I left all that blank, and created a "Straight Talk" entry using Nokia's Access Point app. That's why the fields are different. Erase everything out of "Cellular," install the Access Point app, then enter the info I gave you from above.

My step-daughter was over this weekend (it's a phone I gave her), and I did what you said - Access Point, all the settings you put down... It can send MMS, use data, send/receive SMS, but not receive MMS. Weird.

Are you using an ATT or a TMO format SIM card? This one is ATT, and since you didn't say, that's the only thing left that I can think of that may be different. Thanks for your help.

Okay, so now I am having the same problem as hopmedic in that my wife's lumia 822 will do everything except receive mms messages on the 4G connection. I think it will receive MMS messages when their is wifi present, but not the cellular data connection. I rebooted the phone and it still wouldn't receive mms. So I tried putting in the apn info that I have in my Lumia 900 found here How to set up Straight Talk MMS & Data with Nokia Network Setup app on Lumia 900 | StraightTalkWindows.com and then I lost the ability to send pics too. So I am stumped. I am going to put the settings back in that JKing106 has posted and hope that someone smarter than me can tell me what I am doing wrong. Also, what is the correct apn for just the internet data? I can't even get that to work. I changed the MMS APN back to the settings JKing106 posted. For the data I tried the att.mvno and the tfdata and neither of them would connect to the net. I also have the AT&T micro sim card for the lumia 822.

Very informative. I have a friend who lost her iPhone and needs a phone. She is on AT&T and I was going to give her a Lumia 822. She mostly used her iPhone for talk, text and ultra minimal browsing. So I think the 822 should work. She does not use MMS. Also I suggested she try using Viber or Whatsapp instead. Any thoughts?

 

[anchito27]

Okay, so I did a master reset on my wife's phone and made sure the wifi was off and put in the tfdata for the apn and the internet works. So then I downloaded sysapp, found the access point app and put in the MMS settings and the 822 can send and receive normal texts and it can send MMS picture messages, but it will not receive the MMS picture messages on the H connection (4G?) but the 822 will not receive the MMS picture messages with or without the wifi. Any ideas?

 

[worldspy99]

Can anyone respond to a basic question? Will talk, text and data work on an 822 on AT&T? I am not interested in MMS.
Thanks in advance.

 

[JKing106]

What do you guys have your Internet APN set to in Access Point? Also, make sure all the APN fields in Cellular are blank.

Internet APN info for Access Point:

Username - blank

Password - blank

Proxy Address - mms3.tracfone.com

Proxy Port - 80

Network Type - IPv4

Authentication Type - none



MMS APN info for Access Point:

These settings work for me on everything with a Straight Talk ATT SIM. Make sure you go into the "Cellular" settings in the "Settings" menu, and clear out all the entries for APNs there, then reboot for good measure. If that doesn't work, I don't know to to help you further. Good luck.

You're correct that Verizon is a CDMA carrier, but the 822 is a dual band phone with CDMA & GSM.

I'm posting this from an 822 on Straight Talk (AT&T GSM SIM) right now. So, yes, it can.

Ok - Step-daughter came over today so we could have her son's birthday party, and I got it working. In access point all of the settings where what you had, JKing, but I tried for kicks deleting that profile, and then recreating it, and it works. Thanks for your help.

For the record, for everyone else, this 822 is now working on Straight Talk with an ATT SIM.

 

[JKing106]

Excellent, glad you got it working.

I am having this same issue. I was about to try the master reset, but glad I read this first. Have you been able to get it worked out? I spent over an hour on the phone with Straight Talk troubleshooting to no avail. Very frustrating

Make sure you do NOT have anything set in the Settings | Cellular | internet / mms APNs. If there is, delete it. Then delete what you have in the Access Point. There will probably be one that you didn't put there that can't be deleted. Then go into Access Point and create a new access point setting. Put in the settings that JKing106 put in this post:
