Alltel PPC MMS not working? - Mogul, XV6800 General

Hi,
After using SPL-Unlocker and Flashing radio 3.27 my picture messaging stopped working. I called Alltel Data customer service, and they insisted on trying everything I had already tried.(THANKS TO THE MOST TITS FORUM EVER, XDA.) They were unable to assist me after 75 soft resets and 35 failed message attempts. They then informed me that they had no record of any issue similar to this and that it would be forwarded to their network engineers. I'm not entirely sure but I think he said it would cost me $40 for this. Anyway, I just thought I would share this. I imagine that I'll find the answer online or just make them give me a new phone. They have two days before I demand a new phone. This will make Titan 3 if that happens.

Which unlocker did you use? Did you also flash a ROM that is compatible with Radio 3.27? Does the ROM even have MMS software in it?
And I believe that you will not find it easy to get Alltel to replace your device unless you flash back to the OEM ROM, radio and bootloader...of course that may fix your problem!

You can read all of the stuff if you want - but I just downloaded and installed the cab file for Arcsoft - and bingo - everything began working once again. I'm pretty confident its the problem you're complaining of.
I didn't bother reviewing and/or trying any of the other "suggested" fixes that precede the file download.
PS: You mention tits, yet I have never seen a pair of tits on this forum ever yet

Thanks for the link skny. I couldnt get the cab to install but I used the second solution and changed my server address and it works fine now.
P.S. I'm not sure of the rule on posting tits, but it could only improve this great site, if used in moderation.

OK this is very odd.. After I upgraded to the 2.2.6 ROM and Radio 3.27 I installed the cab but did not do any of the server fixes. I was able to successfully receive pictures but when I would send a picture, it would say it sent but the other person never received it. After I applied the server fixes I'm having the same problem.. I can receive pictures but the ones I sent never arrive at their destinations. Any suggestions?

Post here problems and fix for new official 2.15 AT&T ROM

It would be good to put bugs and fixes to problems found on latest official 8525 ROM.
1.-The side dial problem could be a starter.
2.-No streaming on this update
3.-After this update you won't be able to go back to 1.34
Solution for number 3: Run enterbl.exe from your device, then the RUU for official 1.34, then you'll be able to downgrade
Anybody has a solution for 1 and 2?
BR
Good Idea.
Could I suggest that as issues are resolved, either you update post #1
or maybe even the WIKI?
I hate to see things get buried in an exausting thread.
Thanks,

Sure thing Berd!

Have you checked your USP to PC settings? There is a a check box to enable Advanced Networking. Try both settings (i.e. ticked and unticked) and see what happens.
Not sure if its the update, but my device hangs every so often. probably once a day since i updated last week. but that could be anything...
unless its happening to someone else as well...
no blackberry connect
not only is there no blackberry connect, but all versions I tried would not connect using the 2.15 rom. i've got to have bb email (unfortunately) so I rolled back to 1.34 official rom and 2.1.2.52 bb connect.
If anyone gets bb connect working with this new rom let me know.
fyi- I downgraded by using the sd flash card method described in the wiki.
After 2.15 update, I can't surf via the GPRS connection
I realize it is specific to connecting to the Cingy service as I can surf when on WiFi, but I have tried all the connection issue links I could find on the forum. I have to be missing something. This happened right after I upgrade to the new official ROM.
Here are my current settings.

The 'this newtork uses a proxy' is not checked. I tried it checked to and no dice.

I have 3G in task bar and depending on what I play with in the settings.. sometimes it will seem to be grabbing the site and then it was 0K and finish with no error and nothing on the screen.
Other times it will error out.

can't disable startup sound
I recently upgraded my 8525 to the new rom provided by att/cingular (actually it is provided through htc's website, I found the link through cingular) I have some questions and was wondering if anyone can help.
The rom update doesn't give you wm6, it is still 5. It does enable the push to talk feature, and rebrands the phone as att instead of cingular. It also enables "cingular video," which is a streaming video service through att/cingular.
Now with the newer rom there is a horribly loud start up sound. It sounds like an airplane is taking off. Every time I soft reset the phone it plays this loud sound, even if my phone is on silent or on flight mode. This sound was not there before I upgraded the rom. I went into the folder where the sound is stored and tried to delete it, it will not let me. When I right click on it, the delete option is grayed out! The file is just a windows media sound, it is stored under the windows folder, and is named "3G_Up." I even tried to do it through the phone explorer on active sync, still won't let me delete it.
I am wondering if anyone knows a way to delete the file or somehow disable the start up sound. I have looked at all settings and don’t see any for start up sound.
I am also wondering this: I assume flashing a cooked rom will eliminate the cingular startup sound. If I flash a cooked rom onto my phone, will I be able to use the “push to talk” and the “cingular video?” Neither of these worked with the original rom. The “cingular video” is just a bookmark, and I tried sending a link from my phone with newer rom to an 8525 with the older rom, and it would not load. On 8525's with older roms when you push the push to talk button, it says "the ptt service is not yet available on your device."
I am assuming I have to choose between a cooked rom with no cingular video and ptt, or just live with the start up sound. If anyone knows any other way, I would just be thrilled
Thanks,
Jon

I have found the way that you tether is different than the older rom. I disabled USB connection through active sync, and connected USB cable. Then run program "internet sharing" on 8525. Then open internet explorer on pc, and begin using internet on computer. That is all I have to do to get online.
I'm not running this ROM anymore, but the solution to #2 should be to disable the IE proxy. This is in the Wiki.
The Wiki is your friend.
Follow this link: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
Scroll down to "Tweaks" and the near bottom of that section you will find your RegEdit to delete whosh sound.

i am having the same issues. Problems on Media Net and ISP connections. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. Not sure what to do.
can't disable startup sound
Do a registry search for animation. You'll find a startup wav file setting. Delete it and the startup sound is gone.
You know, I just can't understand why people would still run the completely useless Cingular/AT&T ROM build. My rom *never* crashes, never locks up, I have tons more ROM memory and I don't have all those stupid "hey, this is a cool program that you COULD use for only $9.95 a month" programs they foist into the rom...
But, I guess if you'd rather have trained monkeys at Cingular giving you "support" instead of the people here, many of whom are engineers of some variety, and know the rom's and phones inside and out, who can argue with that....

I can think of several reasons... some people dont want to flash a cooked rom.. some people want the PTT feature which does not exist on a wm6 rom yet (this alone makes this rom NOT completely useless, but would make yours useless for some people).. for some people this rom is very stable... i got a million more reasons..

Its also a safety net for the noob such as myself for the next few weeks. Though I am a big DIY from electronics to cars.. when I get a brand new phone (as this one is to me - 8525) and I have it as a work phone.. I am going to read every thread I can until I am sure my curiosity doesn't leave me bricked because I missed a thread that says.. waitwaitwait... don't do that, do this, pfew, saved you a trip to buy yourself a new phone. So, in the meantime, I will play it safe with a supposedly official and tested ROM until I get the cohunas to dabble a little deeper. It has nothing to do with my trust in the forum.. it has to do with my abilities to read some of the semi-cryptic wording that I don't fully understand yet and applying what I can figure out step by step. I understand the concepts of a cooked ROM, just not fully any of the downsides.
So, as my previous thread stated, I ended up going with the official 'newer' ROM from HiTeCh and afterwards I couldn't connect to Medianet. So I call them, talk to support for 30 minutes and then they hand me over to HTC for an hour. After all that, I get another phone. Since I am now a 'Connections' afficianado from having everyone and brother at Cingy and HTC walk me through over and over, I decide to change my new phone which is currently on 'My ISP' and switch it over to MediaNet. This is (as far as I understand it), what the new ROM is forcing me to do anyways. So I change over, it connects to MediaNet just fine... and then I try to surf the web. SAME THING HAPPENS. So, it turns out the old phone was not the problem, it is either something wrong with Cingular or something wrong with my plan. I change it back to 'My ISP' and I am back surfing just fine.
The moral of the story, I would recommend getting the MediaNet setting/connection workng first before you upgrade the ROM. That way you know when you upgrade the ROM and it forces you to use MediaNet (the My ISP setting no longer worked for me after the ROM update), that you haven't killed your internet surfing capacity. These are just my ramblings so if anyone has any ideas/questions let me know.
If the answer for how to get passed this has been posted a million times, I haven't found it in my searching for the past 4 days since I got my phone... and thus immediately went to the new ROM when I saw it was available... so please point me in the direction... and flame on!

Thank you for your suggestion, but I tried this before with no results.
AT&T is probably doing it on purpose (no streaming) to make us use their pay access software.

Downgraded to RC29, lost internet - Cant' get past sign up.

I was running JF's 1.51 but needed to downgrade to RC29. Now that I've done so I can't get internet and therefore can't get past the sign up stage.
I've searched the forums THOROUGHLY and can't find a solution. Please don't delete my post.
I realize there's a post detailing how to skip this sign in step. Because I can't change the settings of my phone it wont work for me. I need to know if anyone has run into this problem and what are some possible causes. My APN settings are correct. I even have the EDGE network internet icon on the phone, and it looks like there is some activity, but I cannot connect to Google servers.
PLEASE help, I'm kind of new to this and maybe jumped in too quickly, but the first time I followed this process I didn't have any problems at all. I've tried changing the ROM and using different bootloaders, nothing will get past the authentication.
I'm no expert, but just a question. Does it matter if hes using an newer radio on an older build?
When I sometimes flash a ROM and can't get internet access I just turn on/off my phone a time or two and eventually I get internet back.
Actually this is fixed. It was simple and embarrassing.
After doing a lot of reading I found a post on another site with a tmob rep. He was talking about how if you have a shared text plan, sometimes there are issues with the data plan provision dropping off of the sim card because the subscriber will have a shared text plan and also text messages as part of their data package. T-mobile systems see this as redundant and drop a feature.
I've had the same data plan for almost 2 years, it's the same data plan I was using when I first got the g1 - sometimes their systems don't pick it up for awhile apparently - but when they do you can no longer use that internet gateway. Coincidentally, this happened to me just as I was downgrading my g1.
Sorry for the needless post. Thanks to everyone who contributes to the site with guides, they have always been very helpful to me.

New Vogue.. No Mods. Old Service.. No Data?

Hello all! Its 'That Guy' Again
I recently bought a new HTC Vogue because my old one had *crud*crap*Stuff* on the screen. I called into Sprint customer service as always when swapping.
Everything seems to be fine. The phone is working. Texting is a-ok.. Data is a no-go.
This new Vogue ahs not been *modded*Tweaked*Flashed* (yet)
However when I launch an app to activate the provisioning feature, nothing happens. It dials the usual #777 and proceeds with the 'provisioning data services" msg. But after that it just disappears.
I dont not get a reply back or anything. If I try to refresh the browser to loop through it once more it just does the same thing over and over. Provisioning-----Then nothing
After 2 hours with customer service at Sprint we have gone through just about everything we could think of.. Still nothing.. The phone is practically brand new! Is there something im missing here? Maybe a bug in a certain version of the stock rom?
My old vogue provisioned fine previously and after I flashed to Froyo it was pure bliss.. However this phone will not take the data onnection O-o
If there is anything I can do/attempt to do id be forever greatful! And ill gladly donate my old Vogue to anyone who can use the parts.. It looks like super glue or something in a 3cm patch on the touch screen.. It still recognizes touch on ALL parts of the matrix, it just doesnt look pretty. The shell is kinda scuffed but over the phone works perfect =) This was one phone I didnt want to (ORD) to death.. Thanks in advance to anyone who gives insight on the issue!
Are you running on the most recent Vogue stock rom? which is 6.1
Yes =) Im running the Stock 6.1 Pro from from the HTC website

I am not certain of what the Sprint rep asked you to do, but I have a feeling that your issue lies in the EPST programming. You are likely missing username and/or passwords under the Connections section in EPST. Give it a go and let me know what happens. If you need instructions, let me know as well...
I would be glad to take your old Vogue off your hands if you are serious about giving it away.
Sorry for the lateness! I did discover that she(the rep) had seriously messed up the epst settings in the phone, however after recovery still no data. Its almost as if the phone hates it lol. Eitherway in that case its not as useful as it could be. Ill really only bought the second one because it was new and i wanted the screen to be scratchless I dont mind sending you my old Vogue especially since youre already on the east coast lol ill log in again when i get back to the office and we can swap details.
Thanks again for you help!

There really are 3 or four things on EPST that you need to modify to get the device working properly (in most cases anyways): MIN, MDN, Username, Password, and maybe a couple of others to get better performance out of your connection (cycle, priority, etc). If you flash to stock, why don't you try to do *228 to do automatic provisioning?
Let me know when you want me to give you the shipping details for your Vogue. Thanks.
Only thing that pops in to my mind is that maybe you bought the phone off of eBay? Was it a "Sprint" branded phone, or like an Alltel or something that you activated on Sprint? I would imagine flashing the Sprint ROM from the HTC website would handle everything, but just as a shot in the dark, you could try to install the Carrier CAB (http://winbreak.com/winmo/voguegoodies) for Sprint.
NuAngel
@egzthunder1 Go 'head and pm the info m8! Sorry for the delay again im just hardly at this location anymore.
@NuAngel I actually bought the phone new from some rich guy on craigslist. It was flawless and my vogue had the previously mentioned "crap" on the screen.
It is branded Sprint and they activated the phone just fine as far text and phone. They are saying the data is active however no matter what rom/radio i use it wont access the data network. With WinMo it always says provisioning data but it never happens.. the browser goes idle. if i try to access any data apps it tries to provision but never seems to finish the job.. Android rom same deal just no provision of course. And as you know the Stock Sprint rom has also been flashed with no success of accessing data. Everything else works fine and i have the same service with my current vogue which works perfectly everytime.
If the data issue cant be resolved it will always make an awesome test device.. However, while I cant dig up anyone else having the issue, someone is bound to..

PM sent. Thanks a lot!
Whatever is causing this, after reading your explanation, now I am positive is in the EPST programming parameters. Android builds here have APNs for Sprint in there out of the box (no provisioning required). But to connect, it looks at the PST programming (just like WM does). I would try to speak with someone else at Sprint and see if they tell you something else. There aren't too many things that should be modified in there for the internet to work...

[INFO] Unable to access Google services over 3G

I had a unique problem that is now solved and I wanted to share my experience in case anyone else can benefit from it. I was unable to access any Google services over 3G cellular internet, but over WiFi it worked just fine.
I was also able to browse the web over cellular. My EVO is NAND unlocked and been running Fresh's ROM and also CyanogenMod.
Since I first noticed this with Android Market I tried clearing data for it and that didn't work. I also noticed Google Voice couldn't send/receive messages, so tried that as well and could not reinstall as AM wasn't working.
I restored a backup I had made days earlier and had the same results. I tried clearing cache/dalvik cache/etc. still no joy. I tried installing fresh after clearing data/cache/etc. etc. and it still did not change anything.
Finally I called Sprint and they instructed me to do the following:
Enter ##3282## into the phone keypad, select Edit.
Enter a password the tech gave me.
Go to Data -> Press Menu -> Press "Restore". Allow the phone to reboot.
It will go through a lot of different things -- ie: PRL update, firmware update, resetting your "profile" (in settings/update), etc.
It did not work after all of these things so he said he would reset all the "stuff on their end" and after he was finished it worked. I asked and he assured me it had nothing to do with any configuration on my phone. When I asked him to describe what it was he did to fix it, he said he "switched the provider/internet signature" which is on their end. This finally resolved the issue.
So, if you have these same exact symptoms -- you may benefit calling Sprint FIRST before wasting your time trying all those things that I did.
The problem that I am having is GTalk will hang at trying to connect for a very lengthy time. It works over WiFi just fine but over 3G or 4G it's sporadic. And when GTalk isn't connecting the market won't be able to complete a download either.
If it persists I'll give Sprint a call.

Well... you can certainly try and troubleshoot via your phone. Steps I tried with mine:
- Restarting the phone (lol)
- Clearing specific app data (settings -> applications)
- Reinstalling apps (couldn't do this because related to Market and did not have APKs)
- Clearing Dalvik cache/cache
- Clearing app data
- Restoring a previous backup
- Wiping and reinstalling the ROM
- Trying a different ROM or ROM version
I'm sure there's another one or two but a Sprint call doesn't typically cause you to lose any data on your phone. Hope you get your issue resolved.
I've been having this issue sporadically ever since I switched from the Hero to the Evo about two weeks ago, and it's very frustrating! After trying to sign in to google talk (or cancelling and redownloading an app download) 10-20 times... it usually starts to work. Connecting to a wifi network always resolves the issue immediately.
I called sprint, and after trying most of the steps you have posted, the best they could do is ask me to call google at 650-253-0000, which I will try later.
I mentioned the "switch the provider/internet signature" idea to the initial rep that I spoke to as well as the "escalation rep" I was transferred to, and they had no idea what I was talking about
aikeru , have you experienced the problem again since Sprint's "fix" was applied?

Hmmmm... I haven't experienced the problem anymore. That does sound frustrating. I got the rep to clarify more than once that it was a fix on their end and not on my phone. It's odd, but it's specifically Google services that I had problems with (ie: market, voice, talk, etc.) and not internet and they worked fine over WiFi.
You may just have to keep trying with someone else who is a little "smarter" or follow through the script until they get to that point. I wish I knew more technical details but that is all I recall them saying, really.
I'm having the exact same issue as the first poster. I can't connect to Google services when using 3g. WiFi and 4g works fine. This started after I did a nandroid restore yesterday. I did another nandroid restore of an older know good backup and it did the same thing. I called Sprint and they said they did a reset on my phone and still the same thing. The tech also said she had another caller just before me with the same issue that they were not able to fix.
I'm am still using the stock HTC Rom (3.29) with it rooted with Unrevoked.
So, from your description I've been having the same very problem. Like a couple of people, I had to call sprint a couple of time until they got me to a "senior" tech support. Until, then, they kept on telling me: go to google, call google, email the app developers.... bs bs bs... So, While on the phone with one of their "senior level tech support" (silly that they will insist for a half an hour on the phone with you before they pass you on to these senior techs... even sillier that there is such a division... if they are techs, they all should be trained to deal with these problems.. but anyway).
So the Senior Tech guy told me that they were aware of the problem, that it was indeed on their end and that they they were working on it....
(the first tech to answer the phone should know something like that as opposed to spending 30 mins of my time (each time I call) with "go to the app developers.... all 20 of them, it's their problem").
So, now, I'm supposed to wait until it's working again. Nothing I can do until they have it fixed on their network.
The apps that are not working for me are Market (on and off), Talk, google voice, news rob, Places Directory, Madison Bus, and a few others that use some kind of google service in part or in full, except google maps.
I'm on an Epic 4G, stock rom, up to date, and rooted. And this problem has persisted for 3 days now, in the Madison, WI area (3G/ no 4G).
Hope this clarifies a bit.
Great Read....

I did another nandroid restore of an older know good backup and it did the same thing. I called Sprint and they said they did a reset on my phone and still the same thing. The tech also said she had another caller just before me with the same issue that they were not able to fix.
I'm am still using the stock HTC Rom (3.29) with it rooted with Unrevoked.

New MMS problem arising

Since the last two or three updates within CM builds, I cannot receive MMS from my friend on the sprint network, I am on Tmobile.
I simply receive the message with an attachment that cannot be downloaded. every time I click the download button it tries to retrieve the file and fails
I can receive MMS from myself and it hasn't solved the problem
the apns seem like they have had no direct changes, is something to do with my friends phone more likely or is there a cause for this? tomorrow I will try to have someone on tmobile send me an mms to see if results are different.
need some kind of answer!!! preeeezee
recently gathered info leads me to the suggestion that it is 2.3.4 itself causing this issue, as there is a whole new box called "APN Protocol" in our APN edit menu. Haven't ascertained if there is an actual fix besides downgrading to an older build.
I am having this same exact problem. I know you haven't gotten and answer and it's been a while since you posted on this topic but i didn't want to get yelled at to "use the search feature"
no one seems to have the answer. i get mms from my sister (blackberry) and mom on Verizon. (my mom doesn't even have a smart phone) but my girlfriend with her blackberry on sprint wont come through. It shows the "download" button and it fails every time i click on it.
I haven't tried iphone users yet but seems the problem is carrier specific with my phone not playing nice with others.
I am running the latest cm7 nightly build on mytouch 3g slide from t-mobile. And using the stock message app to send and receive.
(please don't tell me to use handcent or anything of the sort, i'd like an answer to THIS problem, not just a work around)
please someone help!??
Did you try changing the User Agent in the messaging app settings and seeing if it helped?
yeah, actually tried them all. I believe thats only for sending mms so the receiving phone thinks its coming form another type of device. as far as receiving mms, no luck man
on 2.3.4 ive narrowed it down to I cannot receive MMS messages from iPhones on att or verizon. Anyone else who sends me one I am able to download.
Going back to rom in my signature
hmmm, interesting cause i can verify i get from Verizon but not Sprint. And we both have t-mobile, as far as i can see
Just wish the problem was more uniform so that it would be easier to narrow down the problem
im having the same problem with SIMPLE Mobile. it seems i can send to myself and recieve from ALL GSM carriers but CDMA carriers IE. sprint, verizon, metro pcs, do not work i can click download button till im blue in the face and they wont download...any ideas??
I fixed it, or rather it fixed itself. I backed up angry birds data (the only data that matters, otherwise my girlfriend yells at me that she has to start all over AGAIN lol) using titanium. I did a full wipe, data, davlik and cache. Then installed (at the time) the latest nightly, cm7 nightly 78. Automagically fixed, at least the people I tested (including my girlfriends, which was the initial problem) restored angry birds data and donezo. Tell me if it works for you.
