Internet and MMS Settings
To send multimedia messages, or to access the Internet when there is no available Wi-Fi
network, you must have a working cellular data connection with the correct Internet and
MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) settings. Here are some tips:
•
For most cellular networks and operators, Internet and MMS settings come pre-installed
on your device. You can then start using the Internet and send multimedia messages
right away.
•
It is possible to download Internet and MMS settings later from the Settings menu.
•
You can manually add, change, or delete Internet and MMS settings on your device at
any time. If you change or delete an Internet or MMS setting by mistake, download the
Internet and MMS settings again.
•
If you cannot access the Internet over a cellular network or if multimedia messaging is
not working, even though the Internet and MMS settings have been downloaded
successfully to your device, refer to the troubleshooting tips for your device at
www.sonymobile.com/support/
for network coverage, cellular data, and MMS issues.
If STAMINA mode is activated to save power, all cellular data traffic gets paused when the
screen is off. If this causes connection problems, try excluding some applications and services
from being paused, or deactivate STAMINA mode temporarily. For more information, see
Battery and power management
on the 34 page.
If you are sharing a device with multiple users, only the owner, that is, the primary user, can
download Internet and messaging settings from the Settings menu, but the downloaded
settings are applicable to all users.
