hey. my friend has a verizon 6700. when he receives a picture message it brings up a log in window and tells him he needs to sign into the verizon wireless data network. if he's connected thru wifi it will try to go to the picture but it fails. is there any way to fix this? i was thinking perhaps it was some sort of verizon MMS settings that needed to be added into the connections setting.

Yes it is verizons settings . Same issue with sprint . Some times they try and tell you that you must get the internet package to see pictures. You may have to go thru quiet a few represenatives to get someone to get it working correctly for you. I have seen this issue with both services .
So good luck. I haven't seen the manual setting anywhere if I come across them I will gladly post them for you.
also make sure he has a pic msg plan some of the old msg plans were only text msg

Hey there. Kinda new to WM, but the problem still remains. I bought a SPV M3100, unlocked it with the method described on this forum, and terrible surprize: I cannot make video calls. When I try one, it says it couldnt do it and asks me to choose from : normal call, text message etc. Things like I am not subscribed or I dont have coverage are NOT probable. I am on Vodafone network. Do u have any idea what cold be wrong? Maybe because of the unlocking?
Hi Leoking,
Unlocking shouldn't have done this. Just to be sure you could make and receive video calls before? Your account has video calls enabled? You are seeing a 'U' or '3G' on the top of the phone when you try this?
Gav.
Thank you man for trying, the problem is solved. It was a ROM/Radio problem.
Tell me smth though: do u know how to enable delivery reports for SMS messages?
Goto messages then: Menu > Tools > Options > Text Messages > tick Request delivery notification.
Gav.
Yes now it works. I didnt have that option, had to install a patch.
video calls???
I have an 8525. Can these things make video calls? How do I do it?

Yeah, how?

No they cant, the 8525 does not have the front camera, nor does cingular's network support video calling

Now why would a 3G network not support this? I thought the bandwidth would be fast enough. Does the cingular network somehow know that you're making a video call as opposed to downloading a large file?
its provider dependant.. a 3G network can support video calling, however i think its the way the video call is made, obviously its the same as a data call, but im sure it would reguire different server settings which cingular does not have, nor support... i would imagine it would require a server that would convert your telephone number into your ip address, kinda like a dns server does with a URL... (dont qoute me on that, im not sure how the whole cellular video calling network works, yet) however, i dont see any reason why you couldnt do it with a program such as Microsoft portrait (a beta program i picked up somewhere) which would be able to do it over the internet... makes its call via IP address, but you still run into the problem of the 8525 not having the front camera.
SMS Delivery Reports
Hi I just updated my rom so I could get a new voicemaill notification from vodafone with the new cingular rom and thank god I now get the sms new voicemail reports. But I have found 2 problems 1. I cant switch on delivery reports for sms set to other voicemails. 2 The band selection is gone from the phone setting but I found a registry entry to get this back.
Does anybody know how to sort out he sms delivery report issue

Hi mate, can you tell me what the problem was and what you did to resolve it. I cannot make video calls either, i've tried calling my handset and it goes to videomail. I definately have it set up etc as i used it on my previous handset.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
im sure that there might be a thread for this already ..... but ive been lazy and i havent asked sprint about it ... but is the touch capable of mobile to mobile picture messaging .. everytime i wanna send a pic the selctions i get are only able to send to email... i cant select to send to a contact... is it jus cuz i cant figure it out or is the touch incapable of mobile to mobile pix messaging
mms is not yet available on sprint. in the future, you can use the search button located on the top right of this page.
there is, but since you're lazy about it maybe you should try kngtut79's advice and try searching.
you can use dashwire. I am on Bell CDMA in Canada and it allows you to send a sms to your contacts as a link to the picture which is the closest I have come to so far. Hope that helps www.dashwire.com

Verizon MMS requires data usage to send or recieve pictures and video. I am specifically looking for a program to send and recieve MMS messages without using data. The program linked above, called sMMS, does it without using data.

This will not work for you then, it still uses data, and you need the Sprint Picture Messaging, which is of course not available for VZW users.
Verizon charges you for a MMS like it's a SMS. If not it's $0.20/msg, the package for, I believe, 250 SMS is $5/mo.

I have unlimited texting, but was told that smartphones on Verizon don't use MMS, instead they use data somehow.

You are referring to the xv6900 right.....
Sprint Windows Mobile Users. Picture Mail Officially Available. Just Remember To Add Picture Mail To Your Plan.

EDIT: WORKS BETTER IF YOU JUST GO THROUGH THE LINK ON YOUR MOBILE PHONE FOR DETECTING REASONS. OTHERWISE JUST FIND YOUR PHONE, GO TO FREE/TRIAL>PICTURE MAIL
I`ve been trying for a couple weeks now to get MMS working on my Touch. I got a thread going but no luck in fixing it. I came across this today though http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35616. I called Alltel after I changed the setting, but the MMS network happened to be down at the time, so I don`t know if the setting work since nobody could send any at the time. The representative talked to the advance service tech and googled it as well, but neither could figure it out. I`m gonna call back tonight ( they said the network should be up by then) on a different phone to see if they can diagnose it. It kinda sounds like a problem with flashing roms. I know it worked for me before I started flashing, but it also happens even when you flash to an official alltel rom with a locked phone as in the case with my brother`s touch. When I upgraded his radio his stopped working. Perhaps its a network problem, hell I read that Sprint took it away from there users.
I just switched to the even more plus plan, and now can no longer send MMS messages or e-mails. I can receive them though, and I do have Internet access too. I can also send SMS messages too. It's just MMS and e-mail I can not send. The MMS messages send status go from 0% to 99% and then I get an generic error.
I tried several ROMS from the standard shipping ROM to a 6.5/Sense 2.5, and none worked. I upgraded my radio too and that did not help.
I called T-mobile, but so far they have been little help. The said they keep seeing errors and clearing them, but still no luck.

Thank you, thank out!
The T-Mobile settings always start as epc.tmobile.com. That doesn't seems to work and changing them to wap.voicestream.com as you said fixes it.
My real problem was that I was not (under settings...connections)...
...going to advanced (tab at bottom)
...then select networks button (box)
...and then switch to T-Mobile MMS on the drop down menu.
I was just changing T-mobile Data only and missed the drop down box and MMS.
I also may not have restarted, but it is working now!
I am now off to try the other suggestion so that I do not have teeny tiny thumbnails in my MMS messages.
I have been having this problem for 6 months, finally its annoyed me to the point of asking for more help. If i take my SIM out of my phone and put it in my wifes, i can get picture messages no problem. if the SIM is in my s4 then i cannot. i will get an error message half our later saying message could not be downloaded.
I have verified my APN information, it matches exactly with what telus says it should be, and with what it on my wifes phone. Ive also talked to telus who couldnt do anything more to help me. everything is good on their end, and like i said it works when my sim is in my wifes phone, and we have the same APN settings.
I would love to be able to get pictures in texts, everyone sends them to me and i can never view them.
another issue is that i canont send picture messages unless i turn off wi-fi. if i dont it wont send and will eventually come back saying ti could not send. if wifi is off, sends no problem. i dont so much care about this one, but if anyone knows...
Thanks in advance!
anyone?

Make sure mobile data is enabled and/or you have your messaging app set to automatically download/enable data for downloads or whatever. MMS can only be sent over mobile data and sometimes it needs to be enabled manually to send and recieve.
Hehe GUI setting is not going to solve your problem, can you attach your /system/csc/customer.xml file please, I know exactly what's your problem m8

Had that happen to me. Goto Messages App. Top right settings, then More Settings, Then text messages, then Message center. Make sure theres a phone number there. Thats the ATT phone number for text. If you dont add this +13123149810 you must have the + sign also. Hope that helps

Ya that happened to me as well. Just went missing. Thats how i found out the missing number. Was comparing all my settings to my daughters s7 edge.
Similar thing happened to me, I was receiving text messages ok, but could not send them out. The AT&T number at the message center was there correctly. (+3123149810) If it happens to you, go to your APN settings and make sure all MMS Port numbers are input correctly, mine were missing, for some strange reason. All good now.
