After ages messing with various settings i eventually realised MMS was'nt enabled on my sim.
All is now enabled and seems to be working but everyone i know who has an MMS phone either doesn't know how to work it or hasn't got it set up properly.
Would someone be so kind as to send me an MMS so i can test it out? I'll send ya one back but I've promised the wife I won't send the naughty ones so you'll have to make do with my car :lol:
My numbers 07739178234 and i'm in the UK.
Cheers
If nobody responds just send one to yourself, thats what I do! 8)
HTH
i tried that but did'nt get anything.
Do you have to check for new messages or something?
How do I set a notification for them as theres no option for this in the notification options?
Got one from ya John and recieved it fine. I sent one back, did you get it?
I was wondering if there were any other mms hacks that work on the mogul other than the widely known one at ppcgeeks, cause it only works when it wants to and I would like to try a different one.
Lately there have been server issues where it just doesn't want to send any picturemails... heh, seems like Sprint is try to crack down on it
yea, and that sucks cause I tend to send alot of pics to other peoples cell phones that dont have email on their phones, or dont know how to use it.
well I figured something out!, I turned off my data conection and turned on my wifi(thanks to my wireless antenna) and triend sending again and it went off without a hitch! Damn Sprint!
Hmm, I don't even have MMS in my Mogul Inbox apps, only Text Message, Outlook, and my email account. How do you guys send MMS then?
IN my Cingular 8525, I have MMS in the Inbox apps.

I found a workaround/fix that has it working.
Change you DNS from Sprint's to Open DNS.
see : http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/ppc-6...et-access.html
Then it should work every time.
here use this thread, it works.

mms works fine for me, had to softboot twice but always had to softboot twice with wisebar on my 6700, out of curiosity why would sprint want to prevent you from sending picmail when you are paying for power vision? "seems like Sprint is try to crack down on it"

Not sure if it's just me, but with that program you have to already know the person's number to enter it in? Is there a way to pull up the address book and select a number?

You can click/tap the "To:" link.
Wow...can't believe that I missed that!!! Thanks a bunch!
What about Alltel's ROM... they offer picture/video mail on their 6800s... can anyone extract the cabs out of it??
I don't know about anyone else, but the MMS app seemed to really slow down my phone... sometimes the messaging application would freeze up entirely when it was installed!
So, I found that at least for Sprint users, you can send an email to <phone number>@pm.sprint.com, and it will show up as an MMS message on that user's phone!
This is a much more robust way to send pic mms, and my phone is much happier now without the MMS app.

The whole point of this app is so you dont have to type in the email address

they are not cabs to extract, it is not installed from the extended_rom but instead part of the ROM.
if someone else knows what files and regs are needed i could extract them and build a cab. i had considered trying to track them down and/or pulling out files/regs used in the mms cab from ppcgeeks. i could try this but i have a feeling the mms builtin to alltels has stuff all over that would be hard to track down.
it is arcsoft mms though just looks like a diff version. installing the ppcgeeks arcsoft mms cab on alltel does not produce working mms and this is part of my feeling that this version is layed out quite differently.

This is the exact same thing I experienced with the mms cab from arcsoft. My phone was sluggish and whenever I tried to go into my text message shortcut it would take up to a minute to load up.
I'll go without for now too, until we can find a way around this.
This is the OLD WAY
I use the old MMS Cab file from Verizon 6700. It's very simple to make it work. First install the Cab , then the cab text menu. after the soft reset, just go into the Arcsoft files registry and change the Enableserveredit ot 1 , default is 0. Once that is done, go to the MMS config and change to sprintpcs and the address also to sprintpcs. then thats it. This is just a brieft description if anyone wants to try it.
If anyone want me to attached the file and go step by step, just post the reply here and i'll get to it. Reason is because i don't know if everyone knows about it or not, so i won't waste time posting the files.
You will have an MMS in Messaging, YOU can send it from there, but when you received MMS pix/video it is received in the Text Message account. Basically this MMS account enable you to send MMS pix/video and receiveds then in your Text Messaging account. When receiving MMS, it will send you a link to the pix/video directly. I know on the Alltel, it takes you to the sprint messaging website and you have to log in to see pix/video. The setup above as i described, takes you directly to the pix/video and do not need to log in.
FYI:....send MMS using phone numbers not e-mail addy
Right now after doing the resolution hack, my MMS won't send out, giving me an error that says my image size of 16k or whatever is over the 0k limit? I can change my resolution to the lowest setting and it's still giving me the same error.
i am trying to send a picture message but it always goes to outlook. this is great but what if the person doesnt have a pda phone? with my regular clam phone the send to automatically sent via text. i have looked but cannot seem to find a fix. is there a program that will integrate pics and txts?

go to ppcgeeks.com and do a search for arcsoft; there's instructions for setting this up for use on verizon.
will this work on sprint too? i heard they would be blocking MMS so you must use picture mail.
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.
I have t-mobile in los angeles ca with a HTC TOUCH HD. it took me along time to configure the mms setting, well long story short when someone sends me a MMS (picture message) it opens at 160x120 which is really small (3-7kb no more) i can send big pictures like 30-40+kb i just cant recieve them. ive tried to find setting to change this but i cant, ive been with tmobile and htc support with no help. ive used different phones from friends but no luck. what can this be???? so again basically they send me 23 or larger kb picture but my phone opens them at no more than 7kb, why is it chopping up so much how can i fix this???
Sounds like T-mobile just don't allow biger pictures.

thats what i thought, but i didnt have any problems with my previous phone (t-mobile dash/htc s630) i was able to recieve photos over 7kb. how's everyone else doing with picture messaging on there touch hd
is everyone else recieving normal sized picture messages
No proplem here, just send 1600x1200 image (80k) message for myself, shows exaxtly like the one I sended.
am having the same problem all my pictures are coming in Small..
this is happening to me to tiny pics coming in,but my limit from o2 is 300kb
after reading some things on the net it seems its an o2 issue but one im unlikely to get resolved from o2 as they dont support the hd,and cant find a solution
