Trouble Viewing MMS Pictures Received - Networking

Hello,
I am trying to take advantage of sending & receiving on my MDAII.
When I receive a picture, I get the alert message. But when I try to view or download, I don't see the picture anywhere on the screen or in the viewer.
When I try to send a picture I click on send via MMS and the hourglass continues to churn and it never seems to get sent.
If I put the SIM in another picture phone, the feature works fine.
Thanks for your help.

you have the wrong settings in the setup for your mda. Trawl through the news groups and youll find them

Thanks but any chance you could steer me the right direction with a link?

Hi,
if you look in the networking section of this group i have posted the UK vodafone MMS settings and were to put them. All you need to do is replace them with your operators settings but put them in as i have instructed. Just keep trying you'll get there in the end.

Thanks for your reply. But I am on T-Mobile USA. I don't think those settings would work.
GPRS is working fine for me. Just the MMS pictures.
If you don't think that is correct, let me know, but I'd hate to risk losing the settings I already have and potentially lose GRPS.

Um, no disrespect intrended, but how on God's green earth are we supposed to have any clue since you provided absolutely no information about your phone, ROM, service provider, applications installed, whether you can send MMS, etc etc etc.?
Give more, get more. Get it?

i'm on cingular i havn't tried sending and I get the mms but the pictures wont download
I'm assuming this is a stock Cingular ROM them (as you still haven't mentioned that). So IPL/SPL read 2.25 when you reset your phone and its starting up? If thats the case, then you may do better calling Cingular and asking them directly as they can step you through things right over the phone.
If you want us to help, then you have to tell us more as we can't see your device or guess at what is happening. Why won't the pictures download? Do you get an error, or some message? What does the phone do? What exactly do you see and what are you tapping and what happens?
This happened to me after i upgraded my rom to ANY WM6 rom.
I could not get any MMS messages to work in or out.
I had to revert back to Tmobiles stock wm5 rom cause i need my MMS messaging.
Custom ROMs (for the most part) do not setup GPRS or MMS. Have you run the GPRS and MMS cabs to setup this function for Cingular? Here are the two I run after I upgrade. As Dr. P has said, store these on your SD card so that you always have them with you. This can save you, if you have to do a hard reset and you aren't around your computer.

Rogers Canada Cab for GPRS & MMS

I created this Cab originally for myself and I have had some requests for it so here it is. If there are any issues please direct them here and I will look into them.
If people are interested I will soon include a cab with the MMS at default 600k, let me know.
Before Installing cab make sure that you delete your old settings first!
Enjoy!
New Cab for VPN users, settings from mangopudding. I don't use these settings, just made the changes from the settings provided.
Grabbed it, thanks!
nice job lurch i will send people to this file next time I am asked. I will check it out to see which server addy u are using.. apparantly there is a different one these days, with the new vision stuff out

The new vision stuff isn't on here, the guy that was doing the testing for that for me went on vacation for a month so I haven't been able to finish that off.
I will keep looking into though.
If you have the base settings or anybody else pm me with them, I will get it done sooner that way.
hi lurch how yu doing. i installed the cab and had already manually entered the settings. my problem is recieving ppicture messaging. i can send but not able to recieve any at all. i'm using the softbank x01ht. do u know a solution that could fix this

Have you manually gone in to look at the settings?
If you have let me know what the differences are from what you entered manually, It is possible that the MMS settings didn't completly override the old settings.
ok do forgive for the little naivety that will be displayed...i check in connections and everything is supposedly set up correctly according to the stettings you had written before you made the cab...i also setup the server when i'm gettin ready to send a mms message...just so you know i'm using the new black shadow rom with radio 1.43 is there somewhere else i'm suppose to make changes...when i go to manage existing connections, do i have to setup anything under proxy settings

No leave the proxy settings alone.
Go to messages, SMS/MMS (forgot you had Shadow running), options, click on MMS, and then the servers tab at the bottom, you should only see one thing there highlighted "Rogers MMS"
If you don't let me know. Or if there is 2 different ones there tell me what they are.

Here's a long shot but have you went to send and receive.
Doesn't make any sense?
I had to try myself on the 17745 build, I sent a message to myself and I received no problem.
Is the problem on the other sending end, send one to yourself, make sure that you put in the number like this 9995554444, no prefix and you have to have the area code in there which in my example is "999".
Sorry that I am writing all this out but there are people out there that don't know this and I am making sure that I am being very clear.
Hard reset works to.
I guess you don't want to waste time.
I am at work, but the PC is on, I usually get the messages fast so I will get you through this.
Once you are up and running install the cab file, no need to hard reset, then send yourself a MMS, look at my previous post. tell me if you get it, you will probably get a screen saying that a download is there, click download anyway.

The settings are absolutly identical.
Question did you have any issues before you changed ROM's.

if i'm not mistaken i was able to send it on the wm5 but think the problem occurred when flashed to wm6...i've only been using black roms so far, there was one time when send/recieve was highlighted but i use to get error synchronizing back then asi notice some people did also but now its just not highlighted at all...other than that no problems

Right now all that I can suggest is to try and manually install the MMS, go to the settings and delete the MMS Rogers that is there and make a new one, you shouldn't have to change the connection settings, and see if send and receive will highlight.

Are there any other mms hacks than the one over at ppcgeeks?

I was wondering if there were any other mms hacks that work on the mogul other than the widely known one at ppcgeeks, cause it only works when it wants to and I would like to try a different one.
Lately there have been server issues where it just doesn't want to send any picturemails... heh, seems like Sprint is try to crack down on it
yea, and that sucks cause I tend to send alot of pics to other peoples cell phones that dont have email on their phones, or dont know how to use it.
well I figured something out!, I turned off my data conection and turned on my wifi(thanks to my wireless antenna) and triend sending again and it went off without a hitch! Damn Sprint!
Hmm, I don't even have MMS in my Mogul Inbox apps, only Text Message, Outlook, and my email account. How do you guys send MMS then?
IN my Cingular 8525, I have MMS in the Inbox apps.

I found a workaround/fix that has it working.
Change you DNS from Sprint's to Open DNS.
see : http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/ppc-6...et-access.html
Then it should work every time.
here use this thread, it works.

mms works fine for me, had to softboot twice but always had to softboot twice with wisebar on my 6700, out of curiosity why would sprint want to prevent you from sending picmail when you are paying for power vision? "seems like Sprint is try to crack down on it"

Not sure if it's just me, but with that program you have to already know the person's number to enter it in? Is there a way to pull up the address book and select a number?

Wow...can't believe that I missed that!!! Thanks a bunch!
What about Alltel's ROM... they offer picture/video mail on their 6800s... can anyone extract the cabs out of it??
I don't know about anyone else, but the MMS app seemed to really slow down my phone... sometimes the messaging application would freeze up entirely when it was installed!
So, I found that at least for Sprint users, you can send an email to <phone number>@pm.sprint.com, and it will show up as an MMS message on that user's phone!
This is a much more robust way to send pic mms, and my phone is much happier now without the MMS app.

they are not cabs to extract, it is not installed from the extended_rom but instead part of the ROM.
if someone else knows what files and regs are needed i could extract them and build a cab. i had considered trying to track them down and/or pulling out files/regs used in the mms cab from ppcgeeks. i could try this but i have a feeling the mms builtin to alltels has stuff all over that would be hard to track down.
it is arcsoft mms though just looks like a diff version. installing the ppcgeeks arcsoft mms cab on alltel does not produce working mms and this is part of my feeling that this version is layed out quite differently.

This is the exact same thing I experienced with the mms cab from arcsoft. My phone was sluggish and whenever I tried to go into my text message shortcut it would take up to a minute to load up.
I'll go without for now too, until we can find a way around this.
This is the OLD WAY
I use the old MMS Cab file from Verizon 6700. It's very simple to make it work. First install the Cab , then the cab text menu. after the soft reset, just go into the Arcsoft files registry and change the Enableserveredit ot 1 , default is 0. Once that is done, go to the MMS config and change to sprintpcs and the address also to sprintpcs. then thats it. This is just a brieft description if anyone wants to try it.
If anyone want me to attached the file and go step by step, just post the reply here and i'll get to it. Reason is because i don't know if everyone knows about it or not, so i won't waste time posting the files.
You will have an MMS in Messaging, YOU can send it from there, but when you received MMS pix/video it is received in the Text Message account. Basically this MMS account enable you to send MMS pix/video and receiveds then in your Text Messaging account. When receiving MMS, it will send you a link to the pix/video directly. I know on the Alltel, it takes you to the sprint messaging website and you have to log in to see pix/video. The setup above as i described, takes you directly to the pix/video and do not need to log in.
FYI:....send MMS using phone numbers not e-mail addy
Right now after doing the resolution hack, my MMS won't send out, giving me an error that says my image size of 16k or whatever is over the 0k limit? I can change my resolution to the lowest setting and it's still giving me the same error.

MMS - Picture Arrives, 2 days later TXT arrives...?

Hi,
I'm using a Sim Free Touch Diamond 2 on T-Mobile UK. Got a strange problem going on at the moment.
When someone sends me an SMS (From any network T-Mobile, Orange, O2 etc). I usually get the MMS with the picture downloaded within a couple of minutes. I can view this on the phone as you would expect. BUT, two days later I will then receive a TXT from T-Mobile saying that someone has send me a MMS, please go to http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/pmcollect - When I go and login the same picture message is waiting for me...?
Anyone else had this problem? Strange thing is that this only appears to have started happening since I returned from a trip to europe.
I've tried T-Mobile customer service - all they can suggest is that this is probably a setting on the handset....
Can anyone help or throw any light on this?
Cheers,
A.
Hi
I am having the same problem.and also experiancing sms coming through late or not at all. however i actualy work for T-Mobile.. and know its not a problem with the D2..it is more likely network issues. but am not aware of any issues..i will speak to technical next time i can and will let you know what they say..i is starting to bug me as well but it is some thing that started for me back in June and i was using my D1 at the time..
Hi there,
I have a similar problem.
When I receive a MMS I only get a sms/text notification saying that I have received a MMS and that I have to go to the t-mobile website. I can't view the mms on my phone.
Is this because I need to install a program to view the MMS?
I am able to send MMS, I just sent a MMS to myself and I received it without a problem, but as a sms/text message, not the MMS itself.
Really annoying!
Hoping to get an answer.
Cheers!
It sound like a problem with your settings...
Go to the t-mobile website :
http://support.t-mobile.co.uk/help-and-support/index?page=home&cat=SOFTWAREDOWNLOADS
and send the settings to the phone once installed do a soft reset.
you should install both MMS and internet settings...
if this still doesnt work then you may have to try setting them up manualy ..
Heres a link to the manual on how to do it and the settings you need:
http://support.t-mobile.co.uk/help-and-support/index?page=selectphone&phone=HA176
if that still doesnt work you will need to call customer service there maybe a problem with the settings on your account. tell them you have done the above steps cos they will want to do them again with you and if you get someone in the phillipines this not a easy task.. they should transfer you to technical support and they will sort it..
any more problems just ask as i have worked for T-Mobile for nearly 4 years..
Thank you!!
It worked!! Thank you very much!
The first option didn't work as I have a dutch number. I did try to send the mms options to my phone via the dutch t-mobile site but they don't have the settings yet for this phone!
I then googled for "t-mobile mms instellingen" (settings) and I found them. Did it manually and now it works like a charm.
For the dutch people interested, here is the site with the settings:
https://www.t-mobile.nl/persoonlijk...lgestelde-vragen.aspx?q=algemene instellingen
Thanks for pointing me in that direction!!
Cheers!
You normally get that text about going to the website to get your MMS when the network thinks your phones not MMS compatible or you don't have MMS messaging live on your acc.
Hi sorry only just getting back..
managed to speak to technical and what they said is they need 5 examples.
date time number and postcode of area you where in.
so they can raise the problem and get your mms profile reset and should then be fine.

MMS problems on Vodafone UK

Would any other members who are on Vodafone UK please let me know if they can send MMS messages. I have tried both contract and pay as you go sims, I can receive MMS messages but cannot send them. I would be grateful for any information to resolve this problem.

I wonder if this is related to my issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=618218
According to this (I can't verify if it's out of date or not), Vodafone's MMS limit is 100k. If you want, you can try using Handcent Sms from the market, which severely reduces the file size (therefore the resolution and quality of the picture) before sending out an MMS. I'm curious to see if you're having the same issue as me. If you do, the stock messaging program has a pretty huge flaw in it which needs to be addressed.
Tell me how it goes.

I tried to do some research, and it seemed like some Hero users were having the same issue as you. See if this helps you at all: http://androidforums.com/htc-hero/7776-mms-vodafone.html
The key would be this quote:
"All Vodafone Numbers MMS is deactivated At network level by default , you need to Ring customer services up on 191 Free of charge and ask them to Activate it"
I'm surprised they do it that way - it always used to be that the first MMS you sent activated your account automatically.

I think I had been down this way before but rang Customer Services again just to make sure. The guy at Vodafone first asked for my number which he checked and said that it was already activated for mms and internet, he then asked for make and model of phone, this is the good bit, he has never heard of this phone and it is not on their database so no support. I told him that they would be supporting this phone in the very near future, he said that if that is true I should just wait until that happens and ring back then.
What is it that makes it so difficult to send a flippin picture message

tell him you have a Vodafone Magic ... its a supported Android phone on Vodafone and the menus are identical so if he wants to talk you through setting anything up then no problem.
If he has to set anything network side to work on Voda then no problem either
