Receive Tiny Picture Messages - T-Mobile USA - Solved + NEW PROBLEM, PLEASE HELP!! - Touch HD General

Ever since I got this phone I have been receiving teeny tiny picture messages. My operator is T-Mobile USA and I'm using a Touch HD T8282. I have done quite a bit of searching and reading and I have come to a disappointing conclusion that this is happening because T-Mobile does not have information about the Touch HD in their MMS Database.
Now here is my question. Has anyone here been able to find a work around for this problem?
I tried cooking in the T-Mobile Rhodium Arcsoft MMS and OperatorPKG but that just caused me to receive an error that my message cannot be downloaded.
Des anyone have idea on how to fix this problem? I would be willing to pay $10 to the person who can provide me with a solution that actually works, hard or difficult to complete.

Bumping this. Nobody has any idea?
EDIT:: Some more information:
I am using the OEM Blackstone Arcsoft MMS
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\MASD]
"Arcsoft_MMS"="5_0_43_98R6"
My device is identified as a "Touch HD T8282"
I am desperate for a solution. If anyone has any ideas I am totally open to suggestion!

Works perfectly on my TP2. It works on my Fuze also. I didn't make this cab it come from someone else, but it does work on my devices.

I will definitely try it and if it works for me I will send you the $10 like i promised.
EDIT:: Sadly I must say that it is still giving me the same error message:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Dude, I don't want your $10. I just tried to help. What that cab does is make your MMS pics bigger. Your problem is your not receiving them. Try this:
Go to messaging/menu/mms options/severs/. Now tap the highlighted mms or whatever its named inside the settings box. Mine says tmobile mms.
It should bring up a page with sever name and all that other stuff. But just make sure where it says "Connects Via" in the box you have it say " My Work Network" and see if that helps. This is what I had to do yo get mine back working again. Good luck.....

Hmm mine says SampleMMSC. I'm going to try installing that cab again. I just re-cooked my ROM with some more Blackstone provxmls that i found had MMS settings in them.

Well like I said, that cab I gave you is just to resize the mms pics you receive. It appears your mms settings aren't correct. You probably need to try different settings where I told you to go earlier. Good luck with it.

I'll figure it out if it kills me, don't worry. Once I have a working configuration, I'm going to make a single huge cab file that makes it all work like it should then I'm going to post it in this thread.

Go to messaging/menu/mms options/severs/. Now tap the highlighted mms or whatever its named inside the settings box. Mine says tmobile mms.
After tapping on the highlighted mms, it will bring up the server page. Your settings should be (mine are):
Server Name: tmobile mms
Gateway: 216.155.165.50
port # 8080
Server Address: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
Connects Via: My Work Network
Send Limit: 300k
WAP Version: WAP 2.0
This is how all my settings are if you want to compare and give it a try.

Still a no-go. Wasn't even able to send a MMS let alone receive one. I Think something is wrong with my actual MMS packages..

This cab finally worked for me.
After reverting back to the Blackstone Arcsoft MMS and re-adding the Topaz Connection Setup instead of using the T-Mobile Rhodium connection setting provxml, I am finally able to receive Full Size MMS
I definitely owe you one man.
Thanks again,
Dan.

Okay I managed to get my received MMS to show up in the resolution sent but now I am faced with a new problem..
I cannot SEND MMS. It will try, get to 100% and then the message will return to outbox with a little clock icon on it and just retry over and over until finally giving up and the picture just sits in the outbox and never goes anywhere.
I have a MMS hack in place that allows me to send MMS up to 600K but even before I made this change, this behavior was still present.
I have the T-Mobile MMS server settings in place, I have the T-Mobile MMS connection settings in place, I'm using the OEM Blackstone Arcsoft MMS 5.0.43.98.
If anyone has any clue why I might be having THIS problem and has any input, I'm completely open to suggestion.
Thanks in advance, Dan.

You don't owe me anything. I know it ain't much, but I'm just trying to give back to the xda community, which is a help to me everyday.

Thanks man I really appreciate the help. You wouldn't happen to have any idea how to get my MMS to send now would you?

I see you use Tmobile as well. But, I'm heading out the door to go to work right now. When I get back home, I will look at my settings and see if we can't get you fixed up.

I have my MMS working almost 100% now. I can receive MMS in the resolution in which they were sent and I can even get to the point where it is sending the MMS only for the phone to give up and the MMS I'm trying to send to remain in my outbox with a little icon that appears to be a clock on top of an envelope as if it is going to retry but inevitably the message just remains in my outbox indefinitely.
I don't care how crude the fix, as long as I can send MMS again.
You see sending MMS back and forth is important to my wife and I as we have a 2 month old daughter and one of us is always taking some kind of picture of her and sending it to the other. Now I can receive em but I can't send them and it's getting kinda frustrating.
Can't wait to hear back from you,
Dan.
EDIT:: Just realized that the "Edit" option does not exist for my server settings as well so I'll need to know how to fix that. If that's not possible then everything will have to be done via registry to fix this problem of mine...
EDIT2:: Figured out how to edit my server settings. Simple reg tweak. Now I compared my server settings to EVERYTHING that I could find on xda and the T-Mobile Wireless Configurator and all my settings match everything else I've seen to date. This means it has to be something either network-side(which can't be the issue if the other phone on my account can send MMS with no problem) or something in my registry that is the problem. What I need is for someone with the same version of Arcsoft MMS in on their HD operating on T-Mobile USA to dump their entire [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Arcsoft] registry key and all sub-keys so I can do a compare to my current setup. That is probably the only way I'm going to get this to work.

Okay I'm still having the cannot send MMS problem. I even tried flashing another ROM(Energy ROM WM6.1 build 21042) and I still cannot send MMS so I think that if I can't even use MMS with HIS ROM then there is some kind of problem with my service. He's also T-Mobile US and using the same model HD as me so I'm gonna give T-Mobile a call and see if there's something on their end that needs to be fixed.
Thanks for all your help everyone(especially supertrooper), without you my first problem would probably have never been fixed
Dan.
EDIT:: Ok T-Mobile confirms that I do have MMS on both lines of service. I even tested this by switching phones with my wife and successfully sending a MMS. This means it has to be ROM related and once again I'm asking for help. I really need a registry dump from someone with full working MMS on T-Mobile USA on the Touch HD.
The version of Arcsoft is unimportant, I can change the version I'm using quite easily.
Someone with T-Mobile USA using a Touch HD T8282 and FULL working MMS, please dump the following key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Arcsoft]
and ALL sub-keys.
Please and thank you.
Dan.

Hey guys,
Does anyone know how to fix this issue without installing a cab? (I.e., what registry changes do I need to perform?)
Cheers.

orange
I get this in Orange UK, they send me rubbish via mms .. cutesy pics and music etc.. all I see on my touch HD is a small picture in the centre of the screen.. to be honest I'd rather not recive rubbish from orange in the first place ...

Telus and MMS... It can be done!!... sorta

well, as the title implies, I have managed to get some of the mms features working on a telus titan phone
NOTE: as of yet I haven't been able to receive picture messages, but I can send them.
here's how I did it:
1. download then install the attached cab
2. under options -> advanced, then click the manual button and enter the following settings:
MMS Gateway: http://216.198.139.113
MMS URL: http://mmsfeplb01.int.eng.telusmobility.com:8088/mms
select which ever network profile you use for internet
and VOILA!!! half of the problem is solved... now if only someone could figure out how to receive them we'd be set, but I suspect that telus employs some means of the message being redireccted to their horrible online app to view the photos... which at present time, isn't displaying photos and they expire without me seeing them... good old telus, giving users the cutting edge while cutting out user support and features.
P.S. not too bad for my second post on these forums eh?
have you tried it using arcsoft mms and the same server settings?

haven't been able to duplicate the results on arcsoft... I'm new to this whole MMS thing, is there anyway to run a trace and see how this program is doing what is does?
Well as you said it does work for sending, the receiving portion however, I don't believe you will be able to do it since TELUS' MMSC server is programmed not to forward MMS' to phones that have a specific user profile such as the P4000, instead is supposed to send you a net alert and have the pictures forwarded to telusmobility.com/snap.
Unless you somehow get someon to modify your user profile in the MMSC provisioning, there should be no carrier settings or registry tweaks that could help you out, unlike other carriers.
However, why don't you just log into telusmobility.com/snap, go to preferences and set it to forward a copy to your e-mail address. I assume you use e-mail on your p4000 and this will achieve relatively the same thing...
While we are at it, although it is much more convenient to naturaly MMS someone with ther telephone number, you could just e-mail them a picture to their phone, thus using your data plan and not having to pay 25 cents per picture message...
mms email address for telus phones: [email protected]
this should send it straight to a regular phone's wap browser and you just need to get the corresponding email address for Rogers, Bell and Fido

I've recently discovered that the e-mail forwarding function only works when receiving MMS sent from a Telus phone. MMS sent from other networks cannot be decrypted correctly so they're not forwarded to the specified email address.
The "save to album" also doesn't do anything. I've checked my photo album at https://photoalbum.telusmobility.com/index.asp . It looks like the site is still under construction or maybe it's just plain crappy. Nothing was saved there from my photo messages.
All and all, I'm very disappointed in Telus in handling (blocking) MMS. I'm searching for a working SMS2Email (or MMS2Email) services now. This way the person sending you the MMS can send it to your email instead. If anyone knows one that works in Canada, Please let me know. I really need to receive MMS somehow, and not on the crappy Telus Snap site (seriously, are they kidding?!?!?!).
Sorry to bump an old thread
This worked great for sending, but has anybody figured out a way to recieve yet?
I just installed it, used the telus server settings as described, but all mms keep getting rejected by server. I definitely double-checked the addys... anyone else follow these instucs with no joy?

I can compose a text message and attach a small photo (20 to 50kb) and I get an out of memory error.
this program is very hard to use with a non-touch screen smartphone. Anyway to get it sized for a smaller screen?
i get the same error!!!! i can not get this to work any ideas i have followed everything in the OP!
Make sure you always have a subject or it will be rejected.

I'm wondering if anyone here has tried these settings on Android. I can't make it work, and I've made sure to set a subject on the messages. I don't expect much of a response, but I thought I may as well give it a shot.

Because Snap doesn't work right. Never has. When the wife and I first got the HTC S720, a Telus tech tried to get her going on Snap... even pics HE sent to it never showed up. With mine, maybe 30% of pictures sent to me ever arrive at Snap, let alone get forwarded on.
Furthermore, viewing in Snap itself has always been an exercise in futility. The password is about 2,000 characters long; the only way to effectively enter it is cut-and-paste. The only way to get it is to have the server email it to you, and the last time I did that (after I flashed my phone and lost the password), the password *never* arrived. I requested it four times, and never got a response.
And IF you do get a long, the pictures you get there are tiny. My wife ended up returning the S720 and getting a KRZR, so she could do MMS properly... she sent me 1.3MP pictures that only ever showed up as QVGA on the Snap site.

I've tried this with Rogers and Fido phones... the recipient gets a text message from my phone's email address, containing a string with the picture's filename, but not the actual picture.
Frankly, Telus's implentation of this is uttery broken and always has been. I've heard a dozen different "explanations" of why MMS won't work on their phones, and every one of them rings as bull$#!t. The most common one for them to give is simply that "no PDA-type phones support it", which I shoot down immediately with the fact that my Rogers Treo does it just fine.
When my wife's contract is up in another 16 months or so, I know she's planning to jump to Rogers so she can get a Blackberry and still do her picture messaging. Telus will lose a 20-year customer if they don't fix this issue; they will have NO chance of keeping her if they don't get MMS working. My contract will be up a year after that, and I won't be far behind her.
Hate to bother, but where is this "options" to put in the information. How do you get to it from the today screen?
Okay, trying this... but I get a "Not enough memory to complete this operation" message when I try to send even the smallest picture. I'm showing 51MB free RAM and 8.8MB free device storage memory...

Look for a new "SMS" icon in your Programs... launch that, click Menu on the right softkey, then Options... go to Advanced tab.
There must be more info required there... maybe the OP could share his settings for Message Center and Email Center numbers?
HOLY CRAP, IT WORKS!!!!
Well, partly... like the OP, I can send, but not receive (yet). The Palm app doesn't want to run on my Omnia (I get the "out of memory" error), but an older Arcsoft install (PPCGeeksSprintMMS) does.
I followed the time-honored hack for that one to enable the server editing (HKLM\Software\Arcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\UI\EnableServerEdit -> change 0 to 1), then plugged the OP's server settings into the config:
MMS -> Menu -> MMS Configuration -> Servers -> tap the server name to edit -> enter full Gateway and Server Address entries listed above, Connect via: The Internet, WAP: WAP 2.0 (Port will change to 80).
Now, Arcsoft, at least this version of it, is pretty clunky and doesn't integrate quite as nicely as the Palm app - the Palm one actually re-retrieved the last couple weeks' worth of incoming SMS messages as well(!!). This one keeps a separate inbox that so far is extraneous.
Update: okay, it worked... like, TWICE. I tried replacing the clunky ancient version of Arcsoft with a newer version and I haven't been able to get it to go since. I've even done a hard-reset and reinstalled it all clean... went through a bout of not being able to remove the WM6_threaded app as well.
If the OP is still reading this... could you maybe post your related registry keys? Thinking there must be some other string that I need, something that's either incorrect or missing... *sigh*
So near, yet so far away...

MMs messeging?

Iv'e seen a couple of threads talking about these new programs pple are making, i tried the arksoft mms cuz it was free but it doesnt seem to send the messeges, some error occurs and just puts the messeges in the drafts folder, any reason for this? And if there are any other mms messeging services that are on the house out there?
Some Guy SMMS.
I know about that one too but I guess ill have to donate to get it cuz its not free. Anything else out there?

This is a common issue.
I have Verizon.. If you have Verizon Keep reading, otherwise search the forums for all the proper reg settings.
You need to make sure all the server settings are correct.
there are also a few reg keys you need to change.
VERIZON MMS SETTINGS FOR ARCSOFT MMX 5.0.XX
MMS Settings:
Server Name: Verizon MMS <this can be whatever you want
Gateway: Blank
Port: 80
Server Address: http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms
Connect Via: The internet
Send Limit: 300k
Wap Version: 2.0
**** I have seen the Server address reported as VZW.com where I have VTEXT.com on may posts. I had this setting but could not send.. I made a few changes including this server address and I was able to send. I do not know if it was the server address or one of the other changes, but everything works perfect for me.
Also Check the Following Reg Keys:
HKLM>Software>Arcsoft>Arcsoft MMS UA>Config>MM1>Wspheader
Modify or add a new string called X-VzW-MDN with the value of your 10 digit number.
X-VzW-MDN 5554443333
Modify the following to look like this:
User Agent: utstar68kv1
x-wap-profile: http://uaprof.vtext.com/utstar/xv68k/xv68k.xml
Accept-Charset: us-ascii;utf-8;iso-10646-ucs-2;iso-8859-1
I'm fairly certain these are all the changes I've made.
It's also a good idea to backup these settings to a .reg file... so if you decide to flash a new firmware, or upgrade your Arcsoft Version you can just apply the .reg.. (Yes upgrading Arcsoft, deletes your previous settings.)
Dam, I have sprint, this suck, lol I hope someone might have the right tools to maybe find a solution to this problem of picture and file mail
Alright I have set up a new server for the mail but I don't have a clue about how to modify the registry . Can someone give me a play by play on this?

I'll apologize in advance if is this is a really dumb question. I know how to make the registry changes. But where do I change that first group of settings?
Go to sms/mms , tap the menu at the bottom and go to mms options. then go to the server tab , tap the add new server put in the info above then set it as default server. Then you are good to go. It will send and receive after this is done but it will not show that it is coming from you until after the registry is tweaked . I finally got that done on mine this afternoon and it seems to be working great .
Let me tell you there are no dumb questions here . I am a total newb here and this has all blown my mind that this stuff can be done.
some guy sMMS works great for me. As far as I know its free still you just get a naggy 5 second advertisement at the beginning and before you send your message. It's worked pretty flawless. Cmon though is $5 really that much to get rid of the ads?
Would this work for me?
I have a sprint mogul but it is on Pageplus network, under verizon wireless
After a flash didnt backup IOTA, so now the gps wont work, and have no idea where to go, it keeps trying to "Vison" so I have no idea where to go
awwww crap!!! im trying to do this with telus using dcds 3.23 and i was told that itsa a carrier specific problem, it just can't be done on telus' network. so, regardless of the rom i cannot send mms. oh someone PLEASE prove me and the telus data network guy wrong
I have been trying to get MMS working on Telus also but everything fails. I now get this Forbidden error message coming up when trying to send out the message.

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

MMS Hell

Hi everyone,
I'm having big issues with MMS and my GSII.
I bought it from Expansys.
I live in Australia.
I've got it running on the Telstra NextG Network.
I haven't touched it in ways Samsung wouldn't approve of.
I can't send MMS messages.
I've rang Telstra many, many times and they set this up and I turned it on and off and they sent me settings and I turned it on and off and they walked me through entering the settings manually and they transferred me to the really technical team, as high as you can go on high priority.
They told me to pull out the battery and sim card without turning the phone off, and to wait three minutes and try again and if that didn't work, to contact Samsung.
Of course, it still didn't work, and, of course, I came here.
I hope you guys can help.
:s
I'm not sure what information I need to give you that is helpful here, but I've taken some screenshots that may be related to the problem.
I'd really appreciate it if someone can help me out. I'm not sure what to do if I can't get MMSs to work.

Which error does your phone give you?
Server response error.
edit:
Just added the picture showing the error. Forgot that one first time.
I had that problem sending myself a mms. Server response error. On top of the fact that all mms coming in and out was a video instead of a picture with the stock mms.apk. I installed cm7 mms.apk and everything displays perfectly and i just sent myself a message.

Mine works fine and the only difference between my settings and yours is that I have authentication type for both Telstra Internet and Telstra MMS set to "PAP or CHAP". Try changing both these settings.
I have the same problem. After factory reset mms works for a day or two then the same error appears. I am on Rogers in Canada. All default apn/mms settings are correct.

How would I go about doing this? Sorry, I'm a bit of a noob.
Does it require rooting? I want to stay away from rooting until it's simple and fail-safe.

Try this: MMS "APN" Telestra.Internet and not Telestra.mms (since mms initiates telestra.internet
I had the same problem with T-Mobile and my sgs2. I think the problem lies with the messaging app as all was fine once I changed to go SMS, problem solved.
When I am sending MMS, I turn Wi-Fi off.
I usually add Topic/Subject and some text to my MMS.
This way my MMS sending works almost 90%.
Sometimes I have to delete MMS which is in "sending" status and try again. This way I got 100% success rate. I have no errors though. Try PAP on both Internet and MMS APN settings.
Have the same problem. Try to manually enter the phonenumber to the recipient. That works for me
hey guys, ive been trawling the internet for solutions and still cant get my mms to work (cant send or receive). has anyone got a working solution? i read somewhere that the galaxy s had a similar problem and needed a combined apn for internet and mms - does anyone have this?
(im on telstra in australia)
What a Nightmare
I also had this problem only SGS2. Bought from MobiCity and running in Australia on Telstra NextG. Unable to send MMS but all other SMS and internet working fine.
I looked up the Telstra website and entered their APN settings ... No MMS.
I looked up the Telstra settings on Ausdroid and entered these ... No MMS.
I found information on how to delete APN and put internet+MMS into a single APN as suggested for the original SGS ... No MMS. Grrrrrrrrr...
I used the Telstra website to SMS the APN settings direct to the phone ... No MMS and increasing frustration.
I sent an email to MobiCity telling them of my problem, as well as what I had already tried. They very helpfully sent me the Telstra APN settings ... which still didn't work.
I tried the suggestion mentioned here to type the phone number directly rather than use a contact from my Google contacts ... finally some success.
Then, thinking 'I'll be stuffed if I am going to lookup and type the number every time's, Installed GO SMS Pro from the Market, and it just works. Looks better, improved functionity including SMS scheduling. And Free.
It makes me think it is a problem with the stock messaging app. Anyway,thanks to the person who suggested GO SMS. Much appreciated.
I've was not able to send MMS to some contacts. It was the problem with spaces in numbers just like Outlook adds after the country code. I have cleared all spaces from numbers (via Kies) and now MMS works.
MMS error was something like 'cannot connect to server'. All settings for MMS was correct (like APN, ports, etc). SMS to a number with space works. Checked on 2 SGS2 with XXKE4 and XXKF2
I have a Hell of a nightmare as well with finding what I m looking for about MMS :
I want to change sending Priority to highest and can't seem to find a way in the SG2 menu or even with an app or MOD....
I posted a new thread on this issue.... : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16892768#post16892768
thanks for any help....
For all those who are on the Rogers network, I spoke to a tech rep yesterday and apparently it is a network bug that they are aware off and trying to fix. He said to try and input the contact numbers manually instead. I tried and it does work if you do it this way.
I am not on Telstra, but do you have the correct settings in the messaging app-settings-message centre/smsc ?
That was my prob a long time ago on my Sgs1.

I had the same problem. I had to remove the country code +61 from all my phone numbers for MMS to work. Standard MMS settings work just fine.
Big Thanks

I just wanted say a big thanks for this information. I don't have a Samsung but an HTC HD2 and it appears that I was the only person on Earth who couldn't send an MMS with my nandroid rom on the HTC HD2... or there were lots living without it. Your suggestion re "PAP or CHAP" has MMS sending perfectly on my phone with Telstra NextG. Reproduceable too as I now have my wife's HTC HD2 sending MMS as well on Telstra!
