MMS wont work, Telstra Australia.

OK, I know I've asked for help with this before but it's really starting to annoy the hell out of me.
I have done the corporate install, and unlike others, the MMS bits were included in the install, but just to be safe, installed Dingo's cab, wich would be really helpful if I lived in the UK and was on O2. I have installed the "Telstra Australia.cab" settings that someone kindly d/loaded from O2's site and to be quite honest, I cannot see a single thing this cab has added or changed anywhere in the MMS settings or the connection settings.
I even went so far as to getting hold of some old manual set up instructions for a XDA II, put these in and still no joy.
Please....... someone must know something to help me, it's bloody frustrating.

I have a similar problem, depends on who I send to, my brother no, my wife yes. Dont know why or how to fix it so I am also interested in suggestions.

MMS/edge/gprs/wtf

okay. so after using faria's the real thing rom i saw that i could no longer send or receive mms messages. i used the tmobile usa settings from the tmobile website help system to no avail. kept getting wierd errors ("answering machine is busy and/or system has hung up") so i dropped back to stock tmobile 2.26 official rom. sending of mms resumed to normal and then today, wamo!, no more sending/receiving mms but this time no error messages other than "message could not be sent". the tmobile rom i flashed had the standard tmobile settings already and i made no changes to networking as far as i know. looking at the system it appears i am using:
radio 02.25.11
rom 2.26.10.2 WWE
arcsoft is my messaging app (from tmobile rom)
i also installed batterystatus 1.04.201 beta3, tcpmp, some google apps (yes they worked yesterday, and no, they do not work today unless i choose wifi).
steps i have done to figure it out:
1) searched forums and found a few posts/threads but they were not helpful for me because not the same issue, or the magical "nm i fixeded it!" posts with no description of what they did.
2) did test msgs with friends on tmobile. all could send receive but me. they do not use wm5 phones so that leads me to think there is a setting i fuxored on my phone somehow.
3) called csr for tmobile
4) did clean button - lokiwiz - tmobile official 2.26 rom. with same issues. yes i am sim/sid unlocked.
so my questions are (finally) this:
1) what troubleshooting can i do to find the culprit?
2) are there other messaging apps that collate all mms and sms (i dont use outlook)?
3)is this just a regional hiccup and not my phone setup? yes i called tmobile and they have no outages reported in my area (tampa, fl), but hey, they also said i can use 3G on my phone, so you never know .
wow. that was a lot.
anyway, thanks for any help or tips in advance

with fairs rom i had the same mms problems. also had a GPRS problem with the auto configurations. the t-mobile site is wrong with the gateway settings for mms. they list .050 when it should end in .50 there are is a topic about this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298222
that should help you with both your problems.

yep. right after i posted this someone else put up a post about it and solved it.
amazing that they put the wrong ip addy on the tmobile site. fixed and working great now.

MMS settings for T-Mobile TP2 without data plan?

Just purchased a TP2 and completed the HardSPL and installed the EnergyROM. However I still can't get the picture messaging to work correctly. My previous phone was a unlocked Sony W810i which I'm able to send and receive MMS messages with no problem. I've tried to duplicate some of the settings from phone to phone but I haven't had good results. I didn't want to spend the extra money for the data plan because the phone has WIFI built in. All I want to do is be able to send and receive MMS messages. Can anyone help? Thanks.......Jason

go back to where you downloaded your rom and look for the mms settings cab and keyboard cab. nrg's energyroms always has a cab for it...

or you can do it yourself its easy
go to connections
select tmo mms
hit edit and change the access point to wap.voicestream.com
leave everything els the same way and save haha its easy
after having to flase a new rom every day(im addicted) you memorize it

Under the T-Mobile MMS I have
Server name: T-Mobile MMS
IP address: 216.155.165.50
Port number:8080
Server address:216.155.174.84/servlets/mms[/url]
Connect via: T-Mobile MMS
Message size limit: 300KB
WAP Version: WAP 2.0
Where do I enter the access point name?
This ROM does have T-mobile setup program but the settings for MMS will not work. I don't why I can't get it to work, I can send MMS on my W810i with no problems.

Thanks, but the CAB still didn't work. I can receive, but I still can't send. Also, I have been searching on multiple forums, so don't just assume that I haven't been looking. I have been searching and trying different settings for 2weeks.

looks like it was sourced to the same .cab file. hmmm did you go into connections and setup mms after the install?

Yes, I tried setting up the MMS settings after the install. I was having this same problem before I flashed the the NRG ROM. I see that you have T-Mobile, did you have to install the CAB? Do you think I'm having issues becaus I don't have a data plan? I wouldn't think that would be the case because my old unbranded W810i works just fine when sending and receiving MMS. However that phone is not a smart phone. When you are in the connections tab what is the difference between My Work Net Work, and the standard T-mobile Data. Under my work netwok I have no connections set up. However I was reading a thread on a different forum that instructed you to setup a MMS connection under MY WORK NETWORK. I tried that, but it din't work. Also, everytime I try to send an MMS I get a message that says my current data connection will be stopped in order to send the MMS and then you have to select OK, is that normal? Sorry for the paragraph...this is driving me crazy.

did you go to start/settings/connections/connection setup and select your country and operator? that should have done the trick. if that dont do it then this is what you do. since the tmo mms .cab dosent fix it and your connections are set and it still wont work, go to tmobile.com and grab the 6.5 rom upgrade, flash it, soft reset,(this will set all your settings to tmobile network), try to mms and if successful, flash back the NRG rom and use the .cab for mms linked on his rom thread(also get the keyboard fix). it will take you about half an hour. if you dont want to do that then wait and see if someone else has a solution. theres 183 views on this thread and no one stepped in to give advise. i have unlimited everything with tmo and i have no issues with mms. hope you can mms soon...

I don't mean to slam you...too badly, but if you don't know how to fix this simple problem, you probably shouldn't be flashing roms. The fix was in the 3rd post, but obviously you haven't used Windows Mobile long enough to know what he was talking about, and you haven't searched for the answer long enough.
So with that said I will walk you through it.
1. Go to the Start Menu, Settings, Connections, and run Connection Setup. Ensure that you have selected United States for country and the operator is T-mobile. Click Ok. Then Yes.
2. Soft Reset
3. Go to the Start Menu, Settings, Connections, and open Connections.
4. Click on the "Advanced" Tab, select Networks, on the pull-down menu select T-Mobile MMS, and click edit.
5. The Radio tab next to T-mobile MMS should be selected, if not click it, then click edit and the bottom of the screen.
6. Click Next on the Name Connection Screen.
7. The next screen should be Access Point Name.
8. Change this to wap.voicestream.com
9. Click Next, on the next screen click finish, and the following click ok.
10. Change the box for "Programs that automatically connect to......." to T-mobile Data and click ok.
11. Soft Reset
I verified these steps as flashed the new version of NRG rom.

I appreciate your help, and I did try doing this before with 6.1, with 6.5, and with the NRG ROM. Maybe I missed a step or installing the MMS T-mobile cab screwed it up. However I did get it to work this time. Maybe I'm not a WM guru like you, but I'll be enjoying my NRG ROM now. Would you like to make a donation for your help? I know everyone gets tired of answering the same question over and over, however I have honestly been searching different forums and trying different fixes cabs etc.. Once again thanks for everyone's time. Too bad you have to get flamed for asking.

[Q] MMS not working....tried every solution I found

Hi,
I have a problem with sending/recieving MMS.
I know that this question was raised here million times, but for the last hour I was searching here, googling around the net...and no solution I found worked for me.
APN settings for MMS are correct, I tripple checked that. Tried many variation, change few settings, but no luck.
I read somewhere that when wifi is on, MMS wont work. But wifi is usually off in my case.
Tried to delete APN settings, and reset them to default....also tried to manualy enter APN settings for data and for MMS.
Also tried to chage custom user agent...now it is on default android.
Size of MMS wasnt the case because I was trying to send small audio files (about 20kB).
Here you can see logcat while I was trying to send MMS.
This lines from it I guess that are important:
E/Mms:transaction( 1042): Url: http://mms.telenor.rs/servlets/mms
E/Mms:transaction( 1042): HTTP error: Forbidden
E/SendTransaction( 1042): java.io.IOException: HTTP error: Forbidden
Somehow it is not allowing me to use MMS server.
After that I turned on setting 'use only 2G networks' in settings / mobile network and next MMS was sent without problem. Then I disabled that option, waited a little for connecting with provider to finish and tried again. MMS was sent succesfully again.
Then I rebooted the phone, and after that I cant send MMS with or without that option turned on. No luck after another reboot. In logcat now are the same errors.
Anyone have a clue how to fix this?

Bump???
Anyone has any idea?

Ask your network operator.

Also:
Before you start, you need to activate your handset for receiving and sending MMS. For handset configuration send a SMS with text ‘mms’ to 131. Once you have sent the SMS for MMS configuration, you will receive MMS settings in the form of an SMS which you need to save.
You can also download MMS settings on your handset click here.

That came to me, but wanted to try something else before that for few reasons.
First: MMS worked fine when I first started to use android (mostly sense builds). I haven't tried it until recently, and as I said in two occasions MMS was sent successfully, so if my network operator is blocking it, I guess that I couldn't done that in those two times.
Second: I bought HD2 on contract at my network operator 6 months ago, and already violated warranty at least 50 times, so it would be awkward to ask them why is MMS not working on my Android HD2
Anyway, thanx for the suggestion, if I don't get any other hint here, I might try that...
edit: I just read you second message. MMS is activated long time ago and I have used it many times. I know the correct configuration for MMS. I have tried the one that was auto installed at first boot, and they are the same as the one I have.

To be fair they don't need to know what OS you have on your phone. They probably don't even know the HD2 can run Android, or possibly even what Android is.
Navigate your phone to the link I supplied above. The problem of course is that the page may well be dedicated to some sort of WM application rather than Android.
I googled this and returned only some issues of application development for the iPhone and Android where people were suggesting to use different port numbers etc, hence my advice to ring your network operator.

I'll guess I'll try that. Thanx for your help.
BTW, your link was telenor site from Pakistan And I couldn't open it. Anyway I read several APN settings on Telenor Serbia site, for HD2, Desire, Desire HD, generic Android settings...parameters are correct. Also tried to change port to 9021 (it said that it is for older devices), with no luck....

Well, apparently your advice was the right one. I called call center, my MMS service was active. They deactivated and reactivated it, I deleted APN settings, did a restart, entered settings again and so far it works, even after few restarts....

Did you make the same mistake as me and try to open it on your desktop PC?
It states you must open the link in your mobile device

[Q] Help: No MMS with Fenny or Insane

Other Roms I can send/receive MMS without much problem. But with Fenny or Insane I can not send MMS with the default app or with Hangouts.
I can send plain texts with both, just not MMS.
I would rather use one of these 2 roms because I need to be able to use the screen mirroring with my samsung tv which I havent found functional on any other roms.
Would love any suggestions or tips, on what in particular with these 2 roms prevents me from sending/receiving mms while others and stock do.
Thanks

I remember trying that with Fenny, am trying Insane now so will try again.
Settings->Connections->More Networks->Mobile Networks->Access Point Names-> There is nothing listed here
I will find out the GCI apn settings and add them and test it.

Well that didnt help, but I found another location that did.
Hangouts->Settings->SMS->Access Point Names-> had 2 options both of which I recognize as local phone companies, the GCI one was slightly different than they had listed on their website so I changed it to what it should be and successfully texted myself a picture.
Sent my wife one and will see if she gets it as well.
Edit: I haven't successfully sent her one yet but I think its just our crappy edge network at fault, I have successfully received one from her, so I think it is probably working as good as it is going to.
Is there a way to get it to work over wifi connections? we are both usually connected to wifi so that would be more convenient.

Hi mate ,
Check with your phone company which APN settings are the right ones , even if you use WIFI the data need to knows where to go.
SMS and MMS need the APN , apps like Whatspp do not they can go thru wifi
