MMS

Hi Guys!
just a quick question... How to send an MMS? And what to do to receive one?
I can't receive any MMS (I haven't been using them for ages, don't need them) but now some1 have to send me an MMS and...
It looks like I've all those settings, my simcard is activated etc- but i can't even see an option to compose one...
What I'm doing wrong then?
Cheers
Chris

you need to install you service provider mms settings into the device.

Thanks for your reply- unfortunately is not any helpful. I should mention that I'm using o2 rom with o2 settings. I can see those settings...
Cheers

Hi Guys!
If you can send/receive MMSes can you please tell how to send one?
What should I have in my menus? And why I can see all those settings but can't send?
Cheers Guys!

Ok, what I've tried next:
1. checking MMS settings (yes, they are in MENU)
2. taking a picture and tried to send this picture as a MMS (didn't work twice, Exec has just hang)
3. found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=261852&highlight=o2+settings and tried to applay those settings one more time. No joy...
Strange thing is that I don't have MMS folder but I do have MMS settings
Any other ideas? I really need MMSes (like never before, I'm heavy user but just calls and GPRS/WIFi- no texts (10-20/mth) or MMSes (5 in my whole life or even less)
Cheers
Chris

I'm so sorry for all those stupid grammatical mistakes I was sooo tiered last night and really fed up with MS and their ideas how to improve our lives...

T-Mobile MMS Settings?
Originally, I wrote:
I have a similar problem with my Jasjar and T-Mobile (USA): MMS messages just sit there, and occasionally I get a notification that they couldn't be sent...? My Jasjar was purchased independently and is unlocked. Is there some T-Mobile USA file I need to upload to the device? And can I do it via my Mac and Missing Sync?

Well, I uploaded a T-Mobile settings file which I had downloaded from i-mate, et voilá! I was able to send MMSes. It also (when I choose to disconnect from the GPRS network) restored the G-in-a-square that had become dashed two-way arrows. Unfortunately, there's still something interfering with syncing with my Mac via Missing Sync for Windows Mobile.... Thanks! Cheers,

Has either one of you tried to contact your provider and actually ask them to help you with the settings? I mean really, CALL customer service and have them either walk you through it, or get the settings and we'll help you input them if it comes to that.

Hi,
No, I havn't. The reason is that I do have:
- VGA hack (OZ)
- load of programs (which shouldn't affect anyway MMS as they are not affecting emails and texts)
- I've done full backup + restore using SPB backup tool (from older ROM to newer, as my phone went for service)
Now I going to do hard reset.
I just have to create list of installed programs, prepare them etc.
I've even installed windows
Anyway, it looks like something is going on with MMSes...
Cheers
Chris

None of the things you mentioned can be used as an excuse for not calling your provider of the settings:
a. OzVGA has a nice little button which will allow you to boot in normal mode.
b. Nothing to do with MMS
c. That might be a problem altogether, it's generally not recommended restoring on newer ROM.

Oh, yeah,
I do agree. As I've said only my backup could mess up with settings...
Will try to call O2 HD tomorrow
Thanks for your advice!

After TouchIT 2.3, MMS will not work

I've been trying to get my MMS settings to work, and the T-Mobile settings configurator is no help, as it seems like the input fields t-mobiles asking for dont match what my wing says. can anyone help me get my mms settings back to normal?

Under your mms settings do you have xxx.xxx.xxx.050 or .50? I don't remember the first strings of numbers but 050 won't work...

Did you run the Network Wizard? (Under settings/Connections.)

Check this out, pretty sure this is what you are looking for.
http://tmobileus.wdsglobal.com/mms?s...ue&service=mms

ok now i can receive mms without a problem, but they wont send. any feedback?

i have the same problem..they wont send at all i get the icon but it stays in outbox with no error message

Did you do what I told you?

when i get my mms i dont get a notification that i have a new message but i do get the mms is downloading icon. I changed the settings and the sound to let me know but it still didnt work but at least i cna still send and recieve them

Ok i set it up correct, and sometimes i get pictures sometimes i dont. the reason for this is that the settings keep changing themselves from what i set as the default mms profile (T-MO MMS) to T-Mobile Data, and when that happens i wont be able to receive mms until i switch it back. i still havent been able to send them though-What gives?

I am having the same problem, I run the network wizard and then a little while later, it seems to switch back and I have to run it again. I can't get my data connection to stay on all the time either.

i did, and it still doesnt work, MMS will not work

i have the htc herald unlocked and i get the lights like my mms messages are comin through after i send them to my phone but they never make it. i entered the manual settings.. what am i missing?

Is there a way to mms send via gprs?

There was a hack on the mda that allowed mms messages to be sent thru gprs instead of always trying to connect with mms. Is it possible on the tmo wing?

I don't know if you'd call it a "hack" ... but if you go into the MMS settings under messaging, there's a drop down menu that allows you to chose which connection to use for MMS. If you chose GPRS, it won't pop up the menu constantly asking for a connection.

what settings

I don't get that option...

If you're using the Stock Rom, you need to click on NEW MMS ... once you're in a blank MMS, go to menu, then options I think ... in there, go the servers settings and its in there if I remember the stock rom.

thanks
thanks man, hate that damn ballon poppin up, I need to flash my rom but im toughing it out for now... I might get a tilt (8925) in a few months, cause tmo not coming out with anything good for a while.

You're welcome. Good luck.

i did that gprs awas on registry hack and i now cant send mms messages. im usin open touch 1.0

what exactly did you change? What reg key?
Are your servers setup correctly? Run the network wizard just to make sure.

I am on T-Mobile, have used a half dozen different ROMS and have no problems with my MMS.
Your TMobile Data needs to be set on epc.tmobile.com
Then go to the SMS tab, all messages, menu MMS Options. Go to TMobile MMS Server, the server address needs to be as follows: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
Then select Connect via: T-Mobile Data
I have yet to have a problem sending a MMS using this.

try this one.
had tons of problems too, with custom roms. this cab fixed all of them. install after the auto sim configuration sets to tmobile. credit goes to the ChrisGrundy, maker of the timor tmobile 6.5 rom. also sets send recieve limits to 1000k, per current tmo limits.
(hopefully this isnt the same cab you already tried...)
edit:seems to only work with standard messaging program, previous post worked for me with manilla messaging app, but have to manually increase send/recieve size limit.

Thank you for that but im still not able to download a message or send.. it says that the notification is going to remain in the inbox... I guess i might have to switch roms which really sucks.. i really liked this one lol

The fix posted by benttwig (which I made myself) is supposed to be run after the HTC connection setup wizzard. Also, it's meant for use in the USA T-Mobile network.
Do those conditions apply to you?

I just now tried to run the fix after the connection setup wizard and it still does not work. I am sure im doing it correctly but its just not working for me.. I too have T-Mobile but I may be doing something wrong...
*** Well i just re flashed the rom and now the MMS is working.. Thank you for your help

MMS settings for T-Mobile TP2 without data plan?

Just purchased a TP2 and completed the HardSPL and installed the EnergyROM. However I still can't get the picture messaging to work correctly. My previous phone was a unlocked Sony W810i which I'm able to send and receive MMS messages with no problem. I've tried to duplicate some of the settings from phone to phone but I haven't had good results. I didn't want to spend the extra money for the data plan because the phone has WIFI built in. All I want to do is be able to send and receive MMS messages. Can anyone help? Thanks.......Jason

go back to where you downloaded your rom and look for the mms settings cab and keyboard cab. nrg's energyroms always has a cab for it...

or you can do it yourself its easy
go to connections
select tmo mms
hit edit and change the access point to wap.voicestream.com
leave everything els the same way and save haha its easy
after having to flase a new rom every day(im addicted) you memorize it

Under the T-Mobile MMS I have
Server name: T-Mobile MMS
IP address: 216.155.165.50
Port number:8080
Server address:216.155.174.84/servlets/mms[/url]
Connect via: T-Mobile MMS
Message size limit: 300KB
WAP Version: WAP 2.0
Where do I enter the access point name?
This ROM does have T-mobile setup program but the settings for MMS will not work. I don't why I can't get it to work, I can send MMS on my W810i with no problems.

Thanks, but the CAB still didn't work. I can receive, but I still can't send. Also, I have been searching on multiple forums, so don't just assume that I haven't been looking. I have been searching and trying different settings for 2weeks.

ok when you download a rom and have a problem with it, browse that roms forum and look for the bug post. i see you have nrg's energy rom so i went there and found the mms fix...click here....100!!!

looks like it was sourced to the same .cab file. hmmm did you go into connections and setup mms after the install?

Yes, I tried setting up the MMS settings after the install. I was having this same problem before I flashed the the NRG ROM. I see that you have T-Mobile, did you have to install the CAB? Do you think I'm having issues becaus I don't have a data plan? I wouldn't think that would be the case because my old unbranded W810i works just fine when sending and receiving MMS. However that phone is not a smart phone. When you are in the connections tab what is the difference between My Work Net Work, and the standard T-mobile Data. Under my work netwok I have no connections set up. However I was reading a thread on a different forum that instructed you to setup a MMS connection under MY WORK NETWORK. I tried that, but it din't work. Also, everytime I try to send an MMS I get a message that says my current data connection will be stopped in order to send the MMS and then you have to select OK, is that normal? Sorry for the paragraph...this is driving me crazy.

did you go to start/settings/connections/connection setup and select your country and operator? that should have done the trick. if that dont do it then this is what you do. since the tmo mms .cab dosent fix it and your connections are set and it still wont work, go to tmobile.com and grab the 6.5 rom upgrade, flash it, soft reset,(this will set all your settings to tmobile network), try to mms and if successful, flash back the NRG rom and use the .cab for mms linked on his rom thread(also get the keyboard fix). it will take you about half an hour. if you dont want to do that then wait and see if someone else has a solution. theres 183 views on this thread and no one stepped in to give advise. i have unlimited everything with tmo and i have no issues with mms. hope you can mms soon...

I don't mean to slam you...too badly, but if you don't know how to fix this simple problem, you probably shouldn't be flashing roms. The fix was in the 3rd post, but obviously you haven't used Windows Mobile long enough to know what he was talking about, and you haven't searched for the answer long enough.
So with that said I will walk you through it.
1. Go to the Start Menu, Settings, Connections, and run Connection Setup. Ensure that you have selected United States for country and the operator is T-mobile. Click Ok. Then Yes.
2. Soft Reset
3. Go to the Start Menu, Settings, Connections, and open Connections.
4. Click on the "Advanced" Tab, select Networks, on the pull-down menu select T-Mobile MMS, and click edit.
5. The Radio tab next to T-mobile MMS should be selected, if not click it, then click edit and the bottom of the screen.
6. Click Next on the Name Connection Screen.
7. The next screen should be Access Point Name.
8. Change this to wap.voicestream.com
9. Click Next, on the next screen click finish, and the following click ok.
10. Change the box for "Programs that automatically connect to......." to T-mobile Data and click ok.
11. Soft Reset
I verified these steps as flashed the new version of NRG rom.

I appreciate your help, and I did try doing this before with 6.1, with 6.5, and with the NRG ROM. Maybe I missed a step or installing the MMS T-mobile cab screwed it up. However I did get it to work this time. Maybe I'm not a WM guru like you, but I'll be enjoying my NRG ROM now. Would you like to make a donation for your help? I know everyone gets tired of answering the same question over and over, however I have honestly been searching different forums and trying different fixes cabs etc.. Once again thanks for everyone's time. Too bad you have to get flamed for asking.
