New user to the M1000

I've just recently upgraded from the E200 to the SPV M1000. I'm fairly new to all the functions as I just used the E200 just as a phone.
Am I doing something wrong as I can't seem to recieve MMS any more, or set seperate ring tones to particular contacts.
Also I've noticed there is a ROM updade to 1.72, what benifits would this give me, and where can I get hold of it...
Thanks, in advance

seperate ringtones require a 3th party program
mms require that it's setup in mms composer and under connections

I am in the same position, I have just upgraded to an M1000 to find no MMS, the problem it seems is not setting up the MMS connection, it is that there is no version of MMS Composer installed on the phone. Does anybody know where I can get this software? I understand EzWAP might solve the problem but it has mixed reviews and some people say MMS doesn't work on the M1000 with it.
I think the software that is used by other networks is made by Arcsoft, but I can't find anywhere to download the software from,
Cheers in advance of any help

I'm surpised to hear Orange don't supply an MMS Composer? I use an XDAII on Orange and the MMS Compose O2 supplied works fine when configured for Orange. You can happily use the MMS Composer .cab file found here. Just copy to the m1000 and double click to install.
If you feel up to it you can unhide and unprotect the extended ROM, copy the cab file there and edit the config.txt file, then re-protect the extended ROM. That way if you hard reset, the MMS Composer .cab will automatically be re-installed. More details on doing this (it's relatively straightforward) can be found here.

Thanks for the link, it has installed fine on my phone. Do you know where to get the Orange settings for MMS? I was told I need to set up a new connection then configure the Composer, but I rang Orange and the best they could do was send a SIM update which did nothing at all!!
Cheers,

Yes, forgot that part! See here, the guide is for XDAII users but if you read through it you'll find the relevant sections for configuring MMS which apply to the Orange network regardless of whether you use an m1000, XDAII etc.

Dont know if yo will see this message seeing as it was last week but on the orange website there is now a rom upgrade which gives you a mms composer i have just downloaded it and it works fine....takes a while to upgrade though :lol: :lol:

Thanks, I meant to put something on this thread about the new ROM update, downloaded it the other day and it is great! Orange are bizarre though, I emailed them about a new ROM only a few days before and got a reply saying that MMS was not going to be supported at all on the M1000, so I was a bit shocked to see the update only two days after!

New Rom update
Thanks, I spoke with Orange yesterday about the MMS and they told me there is a new ROM update. I've downloaded it and applied. However when I restored all the data via xBackup the menu and application had gone. I tried this twice from the hard reset and the same applied, so I just rebuilt it manually.

MMS tab is missing after ROM upgrade

I have Qtek 9100, and I recently upgraded my rom to 2.26.10.2 WWE. after the upgrade, I don't have any MMS capability. When I go to Messaging, then menu, there is no 'MMS Configuration' tab. No MMS anything even on my folder drop down list. I tried the Cingular MMS Cab that was posted. and that didn't work. GPRS and the internet connect just fine.
Any Idea?

I did
I did actually go to that forum first. I install the Cingular MMS Cab, and it didn't work. I still couldn't find the 'MMS Configuration' anything. I don't really know how to do the extended ROM stuff. I know how to set up the MMS configuration for cingular once I can get to it. But I can't even get to the setting.
:?:

Had a simular experience.
Recent hard reset and no Extended ROM anything. Didn't start up at all.
Now this is good and bad.
I have the GPRS settings done but am struggling with MMS
I believe i have the base settings correct but i am unable to set up an MMS account in the place where email, TXT and hotmail goes.
As you can see i am on Vodafone UK with a monthly contract
any help appreciated

I just had the same issue last night. Hard reset, and non of the customisations loaded.
So i loaded a new rom to it instead

I had the same problem when i first got my phone. It was because of my data plan. I believe the customization takes place by downloading. I didnt have the Cingular PDA Data plan. Im tryin to beat the system with just media max data plan. its cheaper and few texts are included! you may have to add the PDA data plan in order to get the custom installations.

Make sure you look under Menu -> Tools -> Options. MMS will show up in there, if you're using the CAB I posted. I'm still trying to figure out how to make it show up in the menu itself versus having to go through the above shenanigans. Maybe I'll revisit that today when I should be working instead.

well, I still have the same plan as before I upgraded my ROM. and it worked great. No data plan, just the media bundle (or whatever they call it hese days). After I upgraded the ROM, there's no MMS even when I go to menu->tool ->option ->new account , it just do the email setting again. This happened also the first time I got the phone, and someone from cingular send me the setting on air (smart message or something) and it opens the "mms configuration" tab under the menu list. Then it worked just fine until I upgraded the damn ROM. Do you think is a problem during ROM upgrade process? Will redoing the ROM upgrade help? I rather not do this again.
Thanks everybody!

Which CAB did you install from that thread? The one in Dr P's post, or the one in my post?

i installed yours. and actually, since I've been up all night trying to tinker with this, I actually found a fix posted by Molski. And It works now. It doesn't have the direct 'mms configuration" tab to get to the setting, but at least now MMS is in the folder list and I could set up things from there. It seems to be working fine now.
Thanks for all the reply and helps, and shout out to Molski too.
This is the thread that I was looking at just incase someone is having the same problem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=59513&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=25
I still don't know why or what the problem was though. Will I have to go through the same thing again when I decide to upgrade the ROM in the future?

You shouldn't have to. And that CAB file I posted should have done basically the same thing. I can't figure out why it didn't. I know I use a slightly different one when I bulldoze my 8125, but if I remember it's because I included some personal settings in there. I can't remember now.. But I may go dig it up, and if it isn't, post it here as well..

Okay, I just looked at the CAB files, and I see what I did.
Basically, the one I posted there just has the settings to fix the resizing issue. It doesn't actually create the MMS folder.
I have another CAB that I use that does create the MMS folder, and then I do my actual settings in a CAB file I use with a bunch of different settings.
I think I'll merge the two CAB files together and post 'em.

what resizing issue was there? since I have installed yours before the other CAB, should I reinstall yours again?

Probably wouldn't have to, unless it adjusts the camera settings.
Basically, if you blitz your device, and don't install any of the Cingular customizations, you don't get MMS. THere's a CAB in the Extended ROM that if you do install it, you get MMS, but there is a sizing issue with images. For example, I may have sent myself an image sized at 90k taken with my phone to myself, but when I receive it, it's a thumbnail sized image at about 3k. With the settings adjustments in the cab file I made, it would be the full sized 90k image.

to avoid all this I sugguest u call cingular and get a data plan.. hard reset or update ur rom or whatever u wanna do. and see if the mms appears then. after that call them back and cancle that data plan... it worked for me

I have already fixed the problem using the fix posted earlier. I am still using the same plan as before, and it's working fine. I thought the data plan is for GPRS connection using a laptop, for example. Anyhow, I just use the media package from cingular and I have been able to access the internet using my phone.

T-Mobile_Network_Customizations.cab

can someone toss me this file..Im trying to use molski's lovely rom..Well I AM using it but I think I really screwed my internet settings. Wish I had xcelein's T-Mobile Network customizations before I tried to manually edit everything

I ended up reflashing the extended rom from Xcelein's 2.26 custom rom EXT_ROM fix.....tested the cab and it works GREAT. finally the MMS started working again. Since Molski didnt have a separate ext rom.exe available i just started from scratch and reflashed to his 30mb hotness!
so as of now I successfully loaded the t-mobile network customizations cab onto the molski rom because apparently it comes NAKED and without any internet settings.
My only gripe/issue is when you actually try and configure the settings it wont let you. When you go into MMS, and then go to the servers tab, you cannot select the T-Mobile MMS tab that's there. i tried to press enter and it either closes out of the program or just makes that circular thingy (like when you are copying and pasting and item). Very strange, just happy to know all my internet settings and MMS work perfect. I'm using the Palm sms threader but i left my MMS1 folder stock instead of changing it to MMS1.old. I'm letting the native program handle this one because no matter what I did I couldn't get the Palm threading app to send/recieve mms

O2 UK MMS Settings

I have an MDA Compact (Wizard) with WM6 installed. The cab file for O2 network settings I used to use prior to WM6 no longer works - it doesn't change anything. I've tried following instructions for other phones but they don't work - has anyone got MMS to work on O2 under WM6? If so any help appreciated

if the settings that worked before no longer works
and t-mobile dident change then i'd say the issue is spc
for your device's wm6 rom
and asking in the Wizard Mobile 6 forum would give a bigger chance of success

Yes it works, although I too had a cab which used to set it up automatically along with my GPRS settings which now no longer works.
Attached is the instructions sent to me from O2 for my Wizard (works on my Hermes WM6). I followed the GPRS one first, then the WAP one, then the MMS one. I did reg dumps before and after and then made my own cab which (almost) works.

Thanks
Thanks for the above - I'll give it a go

MDA MMS HELP!! Changing settings!

Ok, heres the deal. I have had my MDA for about 8 months now, and havent been able to figure out how to change the mms settings. I spent about an hour on the phone today with tech support for my phone company, and they think my phone is locked out(its not using a t-mobile sim). I have all the settings that I need to put in, it just wont let me create a new MMS account. What do I need to do to this thing to make it work? I tried searching the forums, but the results I get are too numerous to find anything....
Please help me!

My cellular company is IWireless, its a small carrier in Iowa, it works off of the T-Mobile network for nationwide, however, the MMS settings are off their own network. Im currently using the 2.26 T-mo rom again. I tried a WM6 rom(it was a TNT one), and the phone began acting extremely strange.. texts would get lost, I couldn't receive some calls, and I wouldn't get voice mail notifications... however, I could send and receive MMS (once I had the phone configured right)
I tried the CAB trej3k posted, and it didn't work. I have all the settings that I need to input into the phone, its just that I cant modify the settings in the MMS settings tab(the buttons are grayed out)
For now, I think I can live with having my phone, and no MMS, however, I would like to find someway to modify the phone still using the T-Mo 2.26 rom(works best with my carrier). Any ideas?

If you're willing to give it a try, install a newer ROM of your choice, and then replace your Radio ROM with one of the T-Mobile ones. I know you still want to retain your original ROM, but choosing a vanilla ROM with a low WM build number can usually get you a pretty stable device.
I'd recommend the UK 2.19 for you, it usually minimizes Missed calls, even on the US T-Mobile network.

I dont think that I can be doing any worse than what I have been for the last week... I was beginning to wonder why nobody was calling me, checked my voicemail, and I had 12... the phone never alerted me that I had voicemails(or that anybody called)...
There is no way, I take it, to work a way around T-mo's block on the MMS settings without flashing a new rom(again)?
