Consumer Cellular APN MMS settings not working after WP 8.1 Update

Were you able to get an LTE connection status at the top?

I am working with Consumer Cellular to get the LTE working on my 635.  Bought my first 635 a few months back and it took a week and half a dozen reps for someone to get the settings correct on their side.  LTE was incredible after that.  However, the phone kept rebooting on its own.  I ended up sending it to Nokia for repair.  A week later I received a replacement.  Proceeded to call CC to provide the new serial # and get the replacement set up like the first one.  I figured it should be easier the 2nd time around.  Not the case.

I am still stuck with only a 4G speed.  It isn't a serious issue but I know it should be LTE and I am under utilizing this phone.  The have me using ccdata for the APN and proxy.mobile.att.net.

I'm going to call them tomorrow and get the att.mvno setup on my phone and on their side.  Hope I get this working like the first time.

Regarding the issues sending and receiving pics and text.  I sent myself a pic and text and it fixed this issue when setting up my first phone.  Give it a try.  Also be sure like was mentioned above that you are set to IPv4.

Let me know if that helps.

OBTW, when I now set up a new WindowsPhone, during setup, I select NO AUTOMATIC UPDATES.  If the darn things works, leave it alone.

I don't need someone to break it and not help me get it fixed.

I've got more than 50 hours into this BS.

First, eliminate the lack of strong signal as a cause.

Second, these settings are now working on a Nokia 920 and 520 with Consumer Cellular:

Edit Internet APN:  

APN= att.mvno

user  name= EMPTY

password= EMPTY

proxy server url= proxy.mvno.ccmobileweb.com

proxy port= 80

ip type= IPv4

Edit MMS APN:

APN= att.mvno

user  name= EMPTY

password= EMPTY

WAP gateway= proxy.mvno.ccmobileweb.com

WAP port= 80

MMSC url= http://mmsc.cingular.com

MMSC port= 80

Maximum MMS size= 99999

IP Type= IPV4

A comment on this second step, the 520 is at version 8.0.0517.150 as delivered and works, the 920 was at 8.0.????.???? and worked.  The 920 got updated in early September and stopped working.  Another 920 was updated at the same time and not only did stop working, but the camera stopped working.  The first 920 mentioned, had everything tried with no success on the MMS problem.  Not until the OS was redone using the Nokia Software Recovery Tool, did the MMS function return to operational.  The second 920, we did manage to get the MMS working, but the camera still didn't work.  That unit was returned to Nokia for repair.  Still waiting on that.

While the second 920 is out for repair, I ordered 6 520's for my business.  They all came with 8.0, but apparently there are "different" released versions of 8.0 out there.  I have new 520's that report different version numbers, some are at 8.0.0517.150 others are at 8.0.10327.77.  These all work at the above settings.

So, thirdly, what does this mean?  Not all 8.0's are the same - they have slightly different behaviors.  This is provable.  Not all 8.1 upgrades are the same, I can prove this also.

Conclusion:  If when you can eliminate the poor signal issue and you have again verified the settings, I would strongly recommend either sending the phone in for "repair" (it sounds like they are recent purchases and Nokia has a 1 year warranty (I believe)) or do the previously mention Nokia Software Recovery Tool OS redo.

IMHO, Microsoft has a severe issue in the handling and deploying of updates.

That is my 2 cents.
