[...] on StarHub First off, if all you want to do is just surf the Web, then just refer to Google’s recommended settings. This means simply setting the APN names for your telco on your Nexus [...]

Although StarhubCares refuses to care and comment, citing that Google Nexus One has no plans with local operator, the MMS mystery has been solved.

Starhub or maybe HTC, *requires ALL* 3 standard APNs below to be configured, word for word on the Nexus One. If anything is missed out, N1 will be a fail-phone.

The following 3 APNs must be added:

Name: Starhub Internet
APN: shwap
Proxy: Not set
Port: Not set
Username: star
Password: hub
Server: Not set
MMSC: Not set
MMS proxy: Not set
MMS port: Not set
MCC: 525
MNC: 05
Authentication type: Not set
APN type: default

Name: Gee! GPRS
APN: shwap
Proxy: 10.12.1.2
Port: 80
Username: star
Password: hub
Server: Not set
MMSC: Not set
MMS proxy: Not set
MMS port: Not set
MCC: 525
MNC: 05
Authentication type: Not set
APN type: default

Name: Gee! MMS
APN: shmms
Proxy: Not Set
Port: Not Set
Username: Not Set
Password: Not set
Server: Not set
MMSC: http://mms.starhubgee.com.sg:8002/
MMS proxy: 10.12.1.80
MMS port: 80
MCC: 525
MNC: 05
Authentication type: Not set
APN type: mms

Reboot and you should be done. However there is still one more pain: if you have poor or are out of 3G coverage, MMS sending will fail and the phone *will not* retry.

Looks like it is also a cripplephone. According to speculation below, and my personal unsuccessful attempts in getting help from both Starhub and HTC, mms on Starhub and M1 is crippled on the nexus one:

Do you have a working Starhub MMS setting for your N1?

Looks like anecdotally the nexus does have problems with connection speed in Singapore too.

It’s not a T-Mobile problem. I’ve ordered the N1 on-line and live in Singapore. My mobile provider is Starhub mobile here in Singapore.

Same problem…. It’s definitely the N1

I used the same Sim-card that I had in my HTC Magic before with the same 3G settings… The magic works perfectly, the N1 has problems…..

Ping,
I ordered my phone on 5th Jan. It shipped 9 Jan from the US by DHL (info from tracking reference)
It hasn’t arrived in Singapore yet though.

I ordered the Nexus late evening on the 6th, but the order hasn’t even been shipped yet. Am curious to know what is Google’s turnaround time for processing/shipping orders to Singapore.

For those who have received the phone, care to share? Was it shipped from the US? Or Taiwan perhaps?
