I have read a few subjects on this board about tiny picture messages after recieving my first X1 MMS just the other day. All the settings here seem to be for TMobile US...
...o2 seem to deny this is their fault, does any1 have a fix for me?!
im sure someone else in the UK has been experiencing this problem....
i have but the valkyrie rom fixed it..
I assume the MMSFix cab fixes it though, as far as i know it tricks the mms server into think it's an N95 or somethin and sends it full sized pictures
Editing the registry fixes this. My post in another thread:
I take you are using a generic ROM? My mms was fine when I was on the original O2 ROM, but then when I upgraded and went generic my mms pics were tiny. Turns out that is because operators put in custom mms settings in the registry, otherwise it gets default mms settings that are years old, hence the tiny pictures.
It's quite an easy fix, have a look at post 14 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...picture&page=2
I am on O2 UK using a generic SE Rom, and changing the registry as per those instructions fixed it perfectly. My recieved MMS pics are now a good size. L11 is right, it tricks the MMS into thinking it's an N95.

I've just recently upgraded from the E200 to the SPV M1000. I'm fairly new to all the functions as I just used the E200 just as a phone.
Am I doing something wrong as I can't seem to recieve MMS any more, or set seperate ring tones to particular contacts.
Also I've noticed there is a ROM updade to 1.72, what benifits would this give me, and where can I get hold of it...
Thanks, in advance
seperate ringtones require a 3th party program
mms require that it's setup in mms composer and under connections
I am in the same position, I have just upgraded to an M1000 to find no MMS, the problem it seems is not setting up the MMS connection, it is that there is no version of MMS Composer installed on the phone. Does anybody know where I can get this software? I understand EzWAP might solve the problem but it has mixed reviews and some people say MMS doesn't work on the M1000 with it.
I think the software that is used by other networks is made by Arcsoft, but I can't find anywhere to download the software from,
Cheers in advance of any help
I'm surpised to hear Orange don't supply an MMS Composer? I use an XDAII on Orange and the MMS Compose O2 supplied works fine when configured for Orange. You can happily use the MMS Composer .cab file found here. Just copy to the m1000 and double click to install.
If you feel up to it you can unhide and unprotect the extended ROM, copy the cab file there and edit the config.txt file, then re-protect the extended ROM. That way if you hard reset, the MMS Composer .cab will automatically be re-installed. More details on doing this (it's relatively straightforward) can be found here.
Thanks for the link, it has installed fine on my phone. Do you know where to get the Orange settings for MMS? I was told I need to set up a new connection then configure the Composer, but I rang Orange and the best they could do was send a SIM update which did nothing at all!!
Cheers,
Fin
Yes, forgot that part! See here, the guide is for XDAII users but if you read through it you'll find the relevant sections for configuring MMS which apply to the Orange network regardless of whether you use an m1000, XDAII etc.
Dont know if yo will see this message seeing as it was last week but on the orange website there is now a rom upgrade which gives you a mms composer i have just downloaded it and it works fine....takes a while to upgrade though :lol: :lol:
Thanks, I meant to put something on this thread about the new ROM update, downloaded it the other day and it is great! Orange are bizarre though, I emailed them about a new ROM only a few days before and got a reply saying that MMS was not going to be supported at all on the M1000, so I was a bit shocked to see the update only two days after!
New Rom update
Thanks, I spoke with Orange yesterday about the MMS and they told me there is a new ROM update. I've downloaded it and applied. However when I restored all the data via xBackup the menu and application had gone. I tried this twice from the hard reset and the same applied, so I just rebuilt it manually.
i just flashed my 8525 yesterday with xda live and i have a problem. I had to manually input my MEdiaNet setting (i have cingular) and also my MMS setting in order to be able to download pictures. ANd in the "servers" tab under the mms settings i choose 'new' in order to input the correct settings but after I hit ok it doesnt do anything? which leaves me with no mms capabilities since the correct settings do not exist. I love the new os that was released yesterday( xda Live) but i need your help on this one!

There is a sticky at the top of the page to report issues with the XDA Live ROM have you posted this message there? The guys that worked on the ROM may only look at that thread for issues??
Re: MMS capability after rom flash
After several research attempts, I am unable to find a solution ot my current issue.
I used the flash rom to unlock sim and aside from the keyboard layout being changed (which I found the fix for and will try later tonight), I lost mms functionality.
There is no mms folder in the messaging application. There is no mms settings page, no mms anything at all.
I have not noticed anyone else having this problem.
Any ideas?
Thank you all very much in advance.

I was able to get it working by installing a cab file called arcsoft composer Z ( u can find somewhere in the posts) but when i installed that my text messaging stop working! so once i uninstalled the composer Z software my text started working again and i found my mms setting were available for editing... its just happened to work out like that i guess....
hi guys, i have a problem. when i receive mms messages, the pictures are sooooo tiny. i have it set to download manually and when i look at the msg details it'll say that the msg is 100+ kbs in size but after it finishes downloading, the picture is only about 5kb in size. same thing goes for short audio files(if a person sends me a 10-15sec recording, i only receive a 5sec clip of it). have any of you the same problem? i've looked through all my settings and can't find anything that would help if i changed them so i come to all you kind ppl. please help. thanks in advance
I think this topic came up around 2 weeks ago on XperiaX1.net, and I think they concluded it was a network (carrier/provider) setting. Might be worth a look.
thats what i first thought but with my n95 and all my previous ericssons, it's never been an issue. i've always received everything in full. but perhaps i have some incorrect mms server settings on this phone. i'll look into it. thanks for the quick reply
The phone speaks to your network when downloading the message and your network is going "I have no idea what this phone is" so it sends down the small version. If you search there was a regedit which tricked the network in to thinking you were a different model.
LOL, the answer to your question is literally 11 threads down!
"MMS pictures Shrinking in size when downloaded"

There was one guy who had this problem over at esato and he fixed it. This is hidden in a rather long genieric thread so i'll just copy his post here...
"Basically, it has something to do with the phone not being set up, or directing to the correct 'profile' with the network operator. For example, my settings were directing to the Taiwan HTC website for some reason. Because O2 didn't have these settings, it was defaulting the MMS settings to how they were when MMS was first introduced.
The solution is basically using a program like PHM Registry Editor to change the profile, so it directs to the correct details. However, as there aren't any specific Xperia ones yet, you can have it use those of another phone. In my case, I have used the N95 settings, as these are ones set up on O2.
So, in the reg editor you need to go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - Software - Arcsoft MMS UA - Config - mm1 - WspHeader
There will be 6 strings in this part of the registry. You just need to edit the 'User-Agent' profile to:
NokiaN95/11.0.026; Series60/3.1 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1
And the 'Profile' string to:
http://nds1.nds.nokia.com/uaprof/NN95-1r100.xml
You don't need to reboot. And that should get the pics coming through at the correct size.
Hope this helps if anyone is having the same problem."

ooops i found the answer last night lol suppose i should've reported back. the regedit trick fixed the problem. thanks you guys
Ok...this is my first ever post on this forum, so please don't shout at me if the answer is "easy" to find. I've been looking and looking and I've finally decided to post a question.
Is there a fix, for the tiny, thumbnail size mms pictures I receive on my HD2, which is running Coredroid's rom (previously WM 6.5)?
My phone provider is not TMOUS, not T-Mobile, it is O2 in the UK.
I would be thrilled if anybody could help. I really, really like this rom and I want to be able to send and receive properly sized MMS pics.
Thank you.
O2 don't recognise the default android mms useragent.
On cm7 roms there's an mms useragent setting in messaging, settings, extra settings,, but I don't think its there in all roms. I set mine to spoof an n95, works fine.

That sounds like a great solution. Unfortunately, I don't think I have a cm7 rom and I really want to sort the mms size out. Maybe I'll have to re-flash with a different rom, which seems a shame, cos I am thrilled with this one, after using WM6.5.
Thanks for your input.
I'm currently on KE7 firmware O2 branded but had same problem when using KE1 & 2.
Using the default pre loaded settings but can't send mms to anyone other than myself. Are others on O2 experiencing same. If not can you please let me know your settings.
Thanks

Works fine for me.
I use O2 network for MMS no problem .
If its an O2 phone get O2 to set it up .
As always check your MMS setings message centre you have entered the correct number for O2 MMS .

I had to input my settings manually using the link I posted after debranding with Odin as it messed up my settings. If you have the standard O2 branding, I don't understand why mms isn't working.
As jje suggested, you should take it into an O2 shop and they will sort it for you.
Edit: I didn't think O2 branded phones were on ke7. Afaik they are only on ke2' ?

Hey guys
Ok so i too was having difficulty receiving MMS's (and probably sending too, although i haven't tried). I think it was because i changed my phone's CSC to XEU (i'm on O2). My phone has two APN's, one it seems is for mobile internet (APN: mobile.o2.co.uk) and the other is for MMS (APN: wap.o2.co.uk). I recently flashed KF3, so i updated a few of the settings in the MMS APN to those in the O2 link posted a little earlier. And when i selected the MMS APN and turned on my mobile data i was finally able to view the MMS's i'd received.
So my question is this. Every time i receive an MMS, do i have to go into the settings and choose the MMS APN? Is there a way to just have one APN that does both? I don't want to go changing my main mobile internet APN settings before i know for sure.
Cheers guys!
I gave up using the stock mms app. Could never send mms to at all.
I now use Handcent exclusively & have no problems sending mms
I too don't use the stock sms/mms app, i use Go Sms.
But can anyone tell me if you can use a single APN for both internet & MMS or do you have to keep switching between the two? I saw the link someone posted about what the MMS settings were for O2 users (like me) but the settings seemed to be for GPRS not mobile internet. If someone else on O2 could post their combined APN settings i'd be very grateful!
I can only send MMS if my contact number has +[country code] before the main number. It gets stuck on 'sending' otherwise!
02 MMS messenging. sending MMS not working
Hi
Got a Samsung Galaxy S2 and been using the ressurection remix ICS rom for some time but found my only annoying gripe was I wasn't able to send MMS.
I am on 02 UK.
I have now upgraded to resurrection 2.0 to see if it made any difference and it hasn't worked.
I am on Android version 4.04. The baseband is I9100XXLPR and the kernel is Siyah v3.2.6+ which is on the resurrection rom anyway.
I found some setting on 02 which showed how to configure setting for MMS on galaxy S2 but still have found it doesnt work.
http://mobilereviews.o2.co.uk/devices/device.jsp?deviceId=738&tab=8&step=2&settingId=3885
I have also phoned 02 Customer support and they couldnt help and tried to send some settings over the network but still didnt work. I think receiving MMS is no issue.
Is this because I am running another ROM and kernel? I have looked on the forums and some people can get it working but I am having no such luck.
Is anyone able to help?

Have you checked the image size? I found this on Resurrection that I couldn't send an MMS but then tried with a lower res photo and it worked fine. Seemed that the full 8MP image was being rejected - this was on Orange mind, but was doing my head in till I tried a smaller image
Don't think it has anything to do with the ROM i just assumed it was a network limit?
I had this problem.
The maximum size to send a MMS in the UK is 300k. I installed GoSMS and set 300k as the limit and this solved my problem.
Hi
I can confirm the size of pictures are under 300k and they still don't send I have tried different pictures varying different sizes :-(
It just comes up after a few moments trying to send the message to say messaging has stopped responding....

Sounds more like a general problem with MMS and getting the config from O2, can only suggest trying to clear / reset the settings. Enter them manually or get them resent from O2 from the website.
MMS works on RR other than the network size limit - useful tip that GO SMS sets the size, cheers Aaron!
