OK tried everything

I basically bought a brand new wizard from O2 in Uk, hard reset it, reset when "starting customisation", installed "show ext rom cab" and got rid of all that crap.
got everything working on the pda, software installed, but I CANNOT get MMS to work.
Ive tried cabs off here, inputting manual settings, and I cant get it to work.
Im thnking maybe I need to install something else? Ive got "MMS Configuration..." under the different account menu, which is maybe mms composer? I go to about and it says "mms composer v3.0.7.14" but there is nowhere i can DESIGN an mms???
I had this problem on my old compact when I went bigstorage.
ANYONE HELP
thanks by the way, great site.

why don't you install the I-Mate rom instead - and then just delete the antivirus and skype - so that you have a nice and clean install which works really fast (from experience) - and also works with mms 100%?

surely there is an easier way than reflashing the device with a new rom.
I've got this just as I want it bar the mms.

well it's your business ... however... when you hit the reset button to "get rid of the crap"... you might have prevented some patches from being installed - and sometimes these patches are important for stable functionality.
In any case, I agree that there must be a way to get the MMS working without flashing the ROM, however I just feel that the I-Mate rom without hitting the reset during boot and with all the patches - will probably serve you better.
However, I wish you luck with your current ROM.

Somebody said the only benefit of flashing a k-Jam Rom on was the wifi G. Not so, after you have done the extended ROM thing on the K-JAM Rom, you have about 5mb more space, and none of the T-Mob rubbish like that horrible pink dialer. The Camera appears to be slightly better too.

Don't do a reset when the O2 extended rom kicks in, let in run and choose a "Basic" install at the menu. You get all the O2 conectivity and MMS App but no O2 active or anything. it does install a couple of O2 apps that you can remove later.
Oh, there are a couple of O2 items in the start up you need to remove as well.
Not perfect but probably an easier option if like me you couldn't be doing with the hassle of a full reflash

well, ive got no o2 cabs on the device anymore, only stuff like resco and the likes in its place :lol:
but I made a copy of all the cabs, does anyone know what they are?
And which ones people would recommend to install

Update please
Hello
I am in the same situation as you!
Have done a hard reset to get rid of the o2 crap which makes the machine run loads better.
I have everything back to how I want it except the MMS function.
How did you solve your dilema?
Thanks

Me as well, any way to get the MMS accont back?

I had a similar problem of not being able to send MMS, but never have done and found out 6 months later that O2 hadnt set it up on my account !!!
Worth a check

I lost the ability to do MMS?

So yeah, I gussied-up my M500 with a bigstorage rom from the ftp and it's pretty hot.
Thing is, even after installing pretty much all but the most offensive-looking cabs from the orange ext-rom, I have no MMS functionality.
I've got the access point settings just fine, but in messaging there is no MMS account, nor any way to add one.
Is it a .cab that I'm missing? There /are/ a couple that refuse to install, says they're missing a file somewhere in the Windows directory?

Man, it seems forum search is an ancient art unknown to the people of today.

I did not install Caller ID, but only installed an older version 2.0.0.x from an older extrom.
For version 2.0.x: Remember that Pocket Outlook has to run always in order to receive MMS. So if you use some kind of taskmanager, prevent poutlook.exe from being closed (this can be configured in SPB Plus)
Cheers,
Mundl

OK, so let's try this out!
Also: I totally searched! I guess my search-fu is weak ;_;
[edit] All seems to be working, ish. Though a message someone claims to have sent me last night is in limbo or something? I guess if the phone doesn't know what's what then a MMS sent to it is lost forever?

MMS do you use it

Ok I'm makeing rom for Prophet, Kaiser and Touch and prob will make for more devices.
Therefore I ask here insted of doing a poll in every forum?
on some devices the memorry is not that much and ArcsoftMMS is taking up alot of space and can be installed by cab for users that realy need it.
so the question is how often do you send MMS

I never use MMS..i guess my vote wont count..caz u are not building for Hima right ??

i agree, its better to remove this from the ROM. if somebody really uses MMS, he/she can use a cab to install it.

I rarely use it, don't find the need to send "pix" to everyone, especially when I've got e-mail at my finger tips!

Gullum i think remove it.If i will send pix i can use E-MAil.

i use it every once in a while. there are times in which i use it everyday but most of the time i would say on average weekly

Considering that the Elfin has Wifi and I can pretty much attach any pic I want and email it to anyone using my Elfin, I don't see the need for MMS.
Of course there are those purists who will say, "oh, but then you need to find a wifi hotspot...I can send MMS anytime"...
I've never been in a situation where I've had to send a picture immediately. If I do find myself in that spot, then I'll use MMS.

I dont HAVE to send MMS messages at all but it is the multi-functionallity of my Kaiser I love. Basically I like to have all options available. I hate it when I`m in a position not being able to do something because I didnt install it because of ram/storage space. Its like having alot of money but no stores to use´em in.
I probably send 50 mms messages a year (Vacations, Fishing, A picture of my daughter to her mother, and so on..) but not once a week.
When there is a situation worth it I use MMS. Being in that situation without that option would probably make me crazy. Of course I can send an email but I would like the pic to show up in the recievers phone at once. Eighter way: most Norwegian mobile phone users dont have email on their phones (dont use it) ........... yet. For pictures and sound, we use MMS.
Off topic:
Viva Scandinavia! I´m visiting Iceland this summer

I agree with the above - its one of those options you hardly use, but its very annoying for example someone who has a device without email option wants to send a picture and you dont have the capabilities, i probably have sent 1 this year and received 2 or 3

yeah, i've never used it, but i guess it's handy if you do have it. tbh, if i had a rom with no mms, i wouldn't notice it wasn't there because i don't use it at all! mms is expensive!
if you are making new rom, i'd say leave it out & add link for the cab, if somebody wants it, can dload it.

look like so far that MMS should be a cab option and not in the rom.
I personaly have only sent MMS to test if it works in my roms. I've had differant phones over the years and I hardly ever sent or received any MMS during these years.
So my desission is MMS wan't be in my future roms but I will have a link to a cab to go with my roms...
Thanks for all the votes and please keep voting as this might be of intrest to other cooks too.

MMS on Verizon

Hiya, i currently have an xv6800 on VZW with an unlimited data plan.
I have dcd's 3.2.6 and radio version 3.42.50
Everything is going great, its fast, gps active, except I am currently unable to send or receive picture messages. I cant find any options for this
I have the verizon carrier cab installed
Just curious if i am missing a certain cab file or if someone could enlighten me on this?
Sorry if this has been posed before (I searched and only found sprint related issues)
Thank you very much for your time,
Cody

I was actually wondering this for the longest time, too. Before (I don't remember what rom I had at the time), when I would receive an MMS, I wouldn't be able to download the images or whatever was included, but at least it would inform me. Now it isn't even listed under the messaging accounts (I have titan reloaded 1.1). Is it not possible for Verizon?

Same Here
The only option I have is to send it via email. I have even tried to set the camera setting to MMS size but still I can not find an option to send out a MMS, who know how many incoming MMS's I have missed.
-Regards

I now have Verizon MMS - tested to send and receive, but my SPB Pocket Plus does not show that I have received a message (but I do get a notice and an icon in the top of WinMo 6.1 - and new MMS's only show the persons phone number, not thier name), nor does winmo 6.1 correctly thread MMS like it does for SMS. Don't know if it is buggy or SPB does not like the .cab file?
