MMS pictures - tiny!

Hello,
I've had a quick scan round for information on this, seems to be a problem with Windows Mobile whereby any MMS pictures I receive are being shrunk down to a completely useless size. Is there a fix for this yet? I believe the settings in the MMS menu only relate to the size of outgoing messages.
I have an unlocked, unbranded UK X1 and I have an O2 Sim in there if that's of any relevance.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated as it's becoming a pain in the backside...

That's because the images are being resized by the senders' phone (smaller image > smaller size > less data transfer > cheaper)
Not much you can do your end, other than perhaps persuade your friends to see if they can chan ge their MMS settings to stop (or at least reduce) the image resizing before sending =/

The images are coming to the X1 at a much smaller size (2/3kb) than they are to any other phone.. and I've seen others report similar problems that have been fixed by phone-specific cabs?

I cannot confirm this, my MMS always come in the right size and the photos are as big as the sender wanted them.
Maybe you have set the network settings for MMS wrong? Do you receive them via GSM or GPRS?

Probably GSM - where do I check?

Messaging --> SMS/MMS
then press MENU and choose MMS-Options.
There you can change the settings, as maximum picture-resolution and so on.
One page there is named "Server", there you can change the connection.
It's named "A1 MMS" here and connects via "live!", while live is the connection I previously defined in my "Modem connections". When "live!" is a 3G-connection than it should be no problem, if life is set to a GSM connection then I could think of problems with this. You can also try to increase the maximum amount of data in the MMS options.
I haven't set too much there because my phone is branded and the correct settings were set from the beginning.

Doh.. just found another thread here relating exactly to my problem - sorry!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2926070&postcount=14
Tried it - works perfectly!

Just read that thread you provided, but I have one question.
Are we supposed to replace the Value data:
Current: X1i/arcsoft-mmsua-5.0.0.xx
"with"
New: http://nds1.nds.nokia.com/uaprof/NN95-1r100.xml
I just notice also that I only see 5strings instead of 6strings. Can someone shed some light on this matter?
Mahalos in advance.

Okay, I reapplied the registry settings and I got it to work now

MMS messaging + other

I've spent quite a few hours scouring Google to try to find an answer to this and not a thing has worked. I cannot send nor receive any kind of MMS message. I've tried installing all different types of Arcsoft .cab's as well as changing the registry, etc. The closest I've gotten is a message saying "Message will download next time you connect and receive e-mail"
My phone was able to do this before when I first bought it (used) but has not been able to since performing a hard reset. Obviously the previous owner had something going on which I did not. Is there anyone who can point me in the direction to a solution?
The "other" is that the MusicID program does not work. It likewise worked prior to the hard reset, so obviously these two are missing something similar.
Please let me know and thanks for any insight =)

Can you get online at all with internet explorer? It could be that you have lost your network connection settings. What network are you with, in what country - someone may be able to point you in the right direction.

connecting with I.E. is no problem. I'm with Verizon and I'm in the U.S.

Have you set the MMS server settings? Open Text messages (or email should work), select 'Menu' (right soft key), select 'MMS Options', choose the 'Servers' tab and then select the MMS profile you want and choose 'set as default'.
I'm not sure if this setting is part of ArcSoft MMS (I have this installed), but my MMS problems were resolved by doing this.
If you need to know how to set up the GPRS profile for MMS you should be able to find how to do that via Google.
Good luck.

the only GPRS profile i'm finding is for nokia and sony ericson phones. i found the menu you were talking about but i'm not exactly sure what to do with it.
i don't have a data plan so i'm not exactly sure what to set as my internet connection.
sorry for being such a noob but i do not have much knowledge about phones.

Preferred network list

Hi there, im having one problem and cant figure it out... i tried searching but i found just few threads asking same question but nobody answered...
so question is how to save list of preferred network list... by default i have first t-mobile even tho my card is o2 and i cant use data connection with tmobile cause it goes in roaming but if i pick manually o2 everything works fine... i can edit preferred network list but after every soft reset it returns to default settings... so im back to tmobile and i have to go to settings and manually switch it... is it somewhere saved in file/registry so i can hard code it the way i want?

Email Setup/Connection Problem

Hi guys, I been browsing the forum for a while - decided to sign up now due to getting hold of my first smart phone.
I've set up my email account (pop3) it worked the first time yesterday, received and sent emails.
Now today, when I receive I get nothing, no messages, and when I send one i get this message:
"cannot connect with current connection settings. the change your connection setting, tap settings."
clicking on settings brings up the t-mobile settings tab etc, but I'm not sure what to change here as I'm pretty new to all this!
and I'm just wondering if I need to change anything - as it worked yesterday but not now even though i haven't changed anything.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I used to get all kinds of hassle like this with my HTC Advantage. It would work perfectly for a while, then it would not allow access, so I'd have to re-input the SAME settings all over and it would seem to work again (fortunately, it seems to be pretty well behaved nowadays!)
So long as your pop3/send/recieve/SMTP settings are all good [make sure that login names etc are all as your email provider states, usually full email address and password and smtp/outgoing *DOES* require authentication]- sounds like you might want to check on your connection settings (I assume that the internet is not working either? Or MSN messenger?) B4 going into settings you will need to find out EXACTLY what your APN (access point name) address is for your specific carrier (there are typically several ones per carrier - usually one for contract and one for PAYG) and the user name and password.
Then check/update your connection settings. You can go and edit the existing setting - you will need to choose a name for it (there should be a default) and then you may have to 'select a modem' - typically I select 'Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)', as it works best for me [on another device however, I select GPRS only, as there is poor 3G reception here in the office and it causes the connection to find a 3G signal and try to connect to it, to no avail though and thus it drops the connection - but hopefully you wont experience this!]
Next update your: 'APN' and the 'User Name' and 'password' (those 3 things will be supplied by your carrier) and save it. And HOPEFULLY that should do it - it can get a little more complicated than that, but I'm hoping that you dont have to get into setting up work networks/proxy servers etc - I can do that and have some data for it, but I'm not very good at exaplaining it I'm afraid it's something I've learnt on a trial and error basis, as I'm not a techy/network specialist AT ALL
HTH

double post*

thanks for your reply!
as far i know all my email info is fine, but I shall try again after work. only details I might have to get is t mobiles. might have to look on the net. but i'll try what you've suggested.
but the net is working fine! I'm using it now...will give it some trail and error.
thanks, and till later!

In which network are you? And which country?

Hello - I'm on t-mobile in the UK
I'm thinking of doing a total hard reset - now my googlemail isn't working ! and that was yesterday.

Just for good orders sake:
T-Mobile APN Configuration
For both contract and pay-as-you-go T-Mobile customers in UK the following APN settings are used:
Name: TMobile GPRS
GPRS APN address: general.t-mobile.uk
Username : user
Password: wap
- other settings can be left blank.
Apologies if you already know how to do this, but I just checked on the HD2 and you do the following;
GOTO the Settings tab (last one).
Hit MENU (bottom right)
Hit CONNECTIONS icon
Hit CONNECTIONS
Select (if you're accurate enough.... ) 'Manage Existing Connections' and follow the path - you may want to just re-input the above to make sure you know all is well then save it (finish)
Just a thought.

Thanks alot for that blackblade, i can use that as reference, will try again in abit - I've done a phone reset for now.
cheers fella. very helpful.

well guys, I've tried checking and changing those details - still no joy. Not sure what to do with this now to be honest!

Not sure if you've resolved this, but I had the same problem with t-mobile.
You need to deselect "use proxy server to connect to the internet" in the t-mobile internet settings, for some reason this gets selected on set up. Once you've done this you should be away!

[Q] Changing the default network connection

I want to automatically select the default network to which the device connects
(the first combo in Settings->WirelessControls->menu->Connections->Advanced->SelectNetworks -
See attached image)
My problem is as follows -
When I set up the connection to the operator -
it sets the default network to be <<3G Portal>>
I want to automatically change it to <<Internet 3G>>
(Or in the worst case -
Automatically delete the <<3G Portal>> -
making the <<Internet 3G>> the only available option -
which will force it to be default)
Does anyone know how to do this ?
(Even if some Cpp/C# code is needed - does anyone know the API ?)
Thanks

Not a lot of sense there
Looking at the screen print
The phone is set up to access the web FIRST via the 3G portal (every phone needs a portal to get online).
The second option looks to me to be a WIFI connection. Wifi always take priority over gprs/3g/hspa
so unless you can make a bit more clear what your looking for......................
http://www.filesaveas.com/gprs.html
Of course, if you mean a different web access point get the APN settings and manualy add then from the settings menu - wireless and networks access point names - press the menu button - add apn

As I understand your Q, you wanna auto set the default network without having to manually change it everytime you hard reset / change roms?
Here's what I do for such things.
Get ceregistry editor, connect to your phone, export the registry to file, then, on the phone, change the default access point to the one you would rather it was, (possibly reboot phone here to be sure the registry has changed the default apn,) back into ceregistry editor, compare current registry to the snapshot, figure out which key changed, and to what value, then provision that reg key (via a cab, or provxml,) whenever you hard reset, after the network has been set up. (I have a cab with dozens of tweaks in it,you can just keep adding to it)

Thanks for the reply.
Both connections are over the Cellular network.
The first one (3G Portal) is set up by the operator to go via some proxies and stuff, which block certain services/sites as they are not stored on this proxy.
The Second one is "unfiltered" internet connection over the Cellular network.
Whenever the network is detected and set up, the settings are automaticelly set to go via the "proxied" connection.
I want to change it to work over the unfiltered connection.
I would like to know the registry keys or any other place this information is kept, so I could automatically change it.
I tried searching the registry for these values but could not get to a definite conclusion about where exactly the "default connection" is stored, or if it is stored in the registry altogether.
(If it is stored in the registry - I do NOT want a complete registry import/export - just the relevant keys)
Many thanks in advance.

Yes it is stored in the reg, but it stores an ID for each connection which is different for everyone, hence the method I suggested which would reveal both the key and the ID, I wasn't suggesting you import a whole registry, simply make a cab of just the one key. It would take about 10 mins to do, but I'm not running winmo so can't lookup the key for you.

Try using Data Controller by Red Frogfish. With this app, you can turn on and off all of your different connections indvidually.
Since, I have T-Mobile, I have the following connections:
T-Mobile Data
T-Mobile MMS
T-Mobile Internet
And, Data Controller lets turn each on or off as needed/wanted.

Ok, thanks.
I will try this method.
