okay. so after using faria's the real thing rom i saw that i could no longer send or receive mms messages. i used the tmobile usa settings from the tmobile website help system to no avail. kept getting wierd errors ("answering machine is busy and/or system has hung up") so i dropped back to stock tmobile 2.26 official rom. sending of mms resumed to normal and then today, wamo!, no more sending/receiving mms but this time no error messages other than "message could not be sent". the tmobile rom i flashed had the standard tmobile settings already and i made no changes to networking as far as i know. looking at the system it appears i am using:
radio 02.25.11
rom 2.26.10.2 WWE
arcsoft is my messaging app (from tmobile rom)
i also installed batterystatus 1.04.201 beta3, tcpmp, some google apps (yes they worked yesterday, and no, they do not work today unless i choose wifi).
steps i have done to figure it out:
1) searched forums and found a few posts/threads but they were not helpful for me because not the same issue, or the magical "nm i fixeded it!" posts with no description of what they did.
2) did test msgs with friends on tmobile. all could send receive but me. they do not use wm5 phones so that leads me to think there is a setting i fuxored on my phone somehow.
3) called csr for tmobile
4) did clean button - lokiwiz - tmobile official 2.26 rom. with same issues. yes i am sim/sid unlocked.
so my questions are (finally) this:
1) what troubleshooting can i do to find the culprit?
2) are there other messaging apps that collate all mms and sms (i dont use outlook)?
3)is this just a regional hiccup and not my phone setup? yes i called tmobile and they have no outages reported in my area (tampa, fl), but hey, they also said i can use 3G on my phone, so you never know .
wow. that was a lot.
anyway, thanks for any help or tips in advance
with fairs rom i had the same mms problems. also had a GPRS problem with the auto configurations. the t-mobile site is wrong with the gateway settings for mms. they list .050 when it should end in .50 there are is a topic about this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298222
that should help you with both your problems.
yep. right after i posted this someone else put up a post about it and solved it.
amazing that they put the wrong ip addy on the tmobile site. fixed and working great now.

I got my Cingular 8125 about a month ago, and I just recently noticed that I didn't have any MMS features available. So I contacted Cingular and they were absolutely no help, but I did figure out that my phone had a custom OS uploaded by the previous owner, and it said Molski.biz AKU2.3 (2.26.10.2 WWE) on the startup screen.
So I did some searching on here and found out that Molski creates some awesome ROMs for our phones, and I found a download link to upgrade to AKU3.3 that is supposed to have MMS support and all sorts of other cool stuff. I upload the new ROM as instructed, and the phone works but there are absolutely no differences between 2.3 and the new 3.3. The only thing that's different is the startup splash screen, it now displays a Windows logo and old one simply said Molski.biz in red letters.
The ROM version and everything else is still the same, and I have no MMS features, no Smartskey, extra themes, etc. that the new Molski ROM is supposed to have.
Can anyone help me?
Phone info (before & after AKU3.3 install is the SAME)
G3 HTC Wizard
ROM: 2.26.10.2 WWE
GSM: 02.25.11
SPL: 2.26
IPL: 2.26
Since you upgraded and only the splash screens changed and not the rom, it sounds like iti probably isn't CID Unlocked (so they may have used shell tool or something). What you should do is CID Unlock it just to be sure if you want to play with various custom roms (like Molski, Faria, and all the WM6 ones):

Now, with that said, if all you want to do is get MMS working, here's a cab for Cingular (I'm assuming thats who you have, you didn't say) that will get MMS going
That worked .. but I still can't download MMS messages when I receive them. It starts downloading but stays at 0% the whole time. I followed the guide on Cingular's website to setup their MMS options and the only thing I noticed is that my phone doesn't have the option to connect via MEdia Net for the downloads. Could that be the problem?

You do have to be sure you are operating with MediaNet with proxy to get MMS messages. Go to Settings>Connections>Advanced>Select Networks, hit the dropdown menu selection and pick Media Net rather than My ISP. Then go to Connections>Tasks>Set Up My Proxy Server and be sure that "This networks uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet" is checked. You can't get MMS if you aren't on MediaNet proxy!

Hmm .. it seems my phone doesn't have the MediaNet option on it. When I go to Connections>Advanced>Select Networks I only have My ISP and My Work Network .. no Media Net option available. I can rename the Work network to say MediaNet if that will work, but I dunno how to configure the proxy for MediaNet. Can anyone gimme the settings from the proxy server?
Try installing this cab and see if it gives you MEdiaNet as an option.
BTW: per a post from Dr. P I saw here, I now keep both this cab and the one I posted above (as well as others) on my SD card so if I have to hardreset or when I switch roms, I can quickly put these settings back on my phone.
I think I found them .. is this it?

Thanks, I'll try it out when I get home later tonight.
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!
What Cellular company and what version of Windows Mobile are you running?

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)?
Hey guys,
I have been having a very annoying issue as of late I'd like to resolve. I have been trying to flash a new ROM onto my device since thanks to Haykuro we finally can have TMO G1 ROMs on the device however I am having an issue. I follow the instructions step by step, and yet when all is said and done I get into the OS and I have no data network. I can send SMS, make calls, however I cannot check my email or surf the net.
This is very annoying, and I have tried both Cyanogen ROMs, and the JacXROM, and neither one works. I am guessing this is a radio firmware not working, however it is the latest one for Rogers I have found so I don't see how that is the issue (and it is works for others)
Does anyone have any ideas?

Did you check apn settings?
Because if your not in the us you will have to config the settings to your provider.
Does anyone happen to know the APN settings if that is what I have to do? I have no idea what to put in there.

I am not going to look exactly where it is stated...but do a search you should find the settings. These settings were posted somewhere in this thread, I believe somewhere in the middle, it was posted like 5 times.

edit: Sure esmith, make me look like an idiot, lol, guess you posted like 2 sec. before me. Although you were more direct, I was hoping not to spoon feed the answer, cause they will ask other questions again without searching.
For some reason whenever I search I always get crap results.. But just so you know I posted that and then said "Duh, I'm an idiot I should look for it" and I saw the big APN thread and found a post a couple pages back. Didn't work though, so I will try esmiths settings.

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

Are any of you HD2 owners in Japan?
I'm thinking of getting an HD2 and getting it to Japan.
I'll charge it via USB/PC.
Am I right in thinking I can simply use my current Sim card and continue using the HD2 so long as I use the same Access point and Password for my current carrier? (My current setup is unlimited/SoftBank.)
In other words - the actual phone hardware should make no difference right - so long as the services you use and the login details are the same?
Any opinions would be welcome.
Thanks.
Softbank Pre-paid MMS
I have a slightly different problem: -
I'm using a pre-paid SIM card in my HD2 with unlimited e-mails. I can call and send/receive SMS's no problem. But when someone sends me an MMS (all messages sent to my [email protected] address from phones or internet are treated as MMS), I get the message notification which shows the subject line but; when click to download the message it says that I cannot download. I assume that this is because, although I have unlimited e-mails (via my [email protected] address) I don't actually have internet access; is that right?
I've tried installing Zgembo's S!Mail, but it doesn't seem to install without his manila...which is for a different phone and so messes up the phone interface. Even then, I couldn't get the damn thing to send out an e-mail.
All I want to do is send and receive phone e-mails (or S!Mails, if you're keen). Any and all assistance will be much appreciated!
BeeGee is a GOD
Went to his website and followed the excellent step-by-step instructions and now am ridiculously happy!
Hi Everyone,
I'm bumping this thread as I'm a Softbank HD2 User. I'm currently using an iPhone Sim Card (Black one).
I was just wondering what radio you guys are using as I couldn't get a decent signal after trying so many of them.
From my experience it seems 2.15.50.14 is the best .
What about you ?
Cheers,
I.
Radio Settings
I just have it on auto-detect and haven't had any signal problems. I'm sure you've tried it already though...
You should have no problem. I am Softbank too. I have an HD2 & I finnally found a rom that will eccept the softbank MMS & Smail sending & receiving software, (Zgembo Softbank MMS). All is working great now. I had to try many roms to find one that would work, this one does. (Build 21914.5.0.93) WM 6.5 OS Version 5.2.21914.
BeeGee Link, please
I see that you all got MMS working on the HD2 + Softbank + Prepaid - would you be kind enough to post a link in BeeGee's site where the process is described?
I've been searching around there (and in XDAdevelopers) and can't seem to find that post that explains what to do to get MMS on the HTC HD2...
thanks!!
