MMS Settings on WM6

Hi,
I have a HTC Touch with WM6 on it and yesterday I received a SMS message about a MMS that I received.
I tried to figure out the settings for MMS through my provider (Vodafone NL), through google and through this great forum. Unfortunatly I am unable to find the settings for MMS anywhere in my device.
All the MMS guides say:
Go to messages, go to options and then edit your MMS settings.
Unfortunatly I dont see MMS settings but SMS/MMS settings and the only two options I have are "use unicode if needed" and "request deliveryreceipt".
Anybody can tell me how to configure MMS settings on my WM6 HTC Touch device?
Greetz,
Sander de Rijk

you must have the new mms app just go to sms/mms and make a new mms choose custom, go to the menu or what ever two settings are on the bottom and look for mms settings (sorry for lot being to detailed right now i dont have my phone with me)
hope this helps you in some way

I am sorry but I dont quite understand you.
I only have the option to create a new email account (pop3 or imap) and I cannot choose MMS.
What kind of MMS app do you mean? A seperate install? Or do you mean another message provider like exchange/MMS/pop3?

sorry as i sed i did not have my phone with me but now i do and the mms app is what sends mms because it is separated from the sms sender
My mms settings are in the sms inbox and select menu and mms settings
if not try these
go to your sms inbox select menu go to new and select mms. Choose custom now select menu > options > MMS options.

that works fine, but its the configuration for receiving MMS messages
I received a SMS message from my provider that I should watch the MMS online on some website. Why cant I get it on my device directly?
When I look at the info at the provider they say that I should configure some sort of mms url. But I cannot configure that anywhere.
or am I missing the complete picture of MMS receiving?

this used to happen to my old motorola phone because the file was too big or it was not compatible (even that i knew it was) this is a network problem or try setting the size limit in the mms settings to the max you can on it but if you want higher try searching for the registry settings, search "mms size limit" or something like that

instead of all various configurations where I have to enter the URL of the MMS server it was quite easy: send an MMS and my provider automaticly configures my phone as MMS-capable

[Q] How to auto-switch to MMS connection when receiving a message

I'm on Vodafone and I have different Internet connections for MMS and Internet (maybe all operators do the same, I don't know).
Right now, my 3G / HSDPA connection is almost always on. I don't know why, because I only set the e-mail to auto-check each hour, but after that the connection remains on until I shut it down manually or I connect the phone to the USB cable.
Every time I receive a MMS I get a notification for a few seconds asking me if it should disconnect the active connection to get on the MMS connection. Then I have to press Menu, then Yes.
Is there a way to give this MMS a higher priority to automatically download my MMS, then disconnect? Or to automatically disconnect 3G / HSDPA connection when it's not in use?

This is bothering me too

Just set your Internet connection to download MMS too.
MESSAGES -> MENU -> MMS OPTIONS -> SERVERS
There chose your MMS server
Then CONNECT VIA -> set your internet connection.

Nope, it didn't work that way. I tried with "The Internet" and also with my Internet data settings, but it won't download the MMS - just pop up an error that it can't download the message. Only "Vodafone MMS" works in "Connect via".
So the question stands. Maybe there's a way to automatically disconnect from 3G when no apps are using Internet. I can't believe that MS were such idiots when they designed this operating system...

You can use Advanced Config tool to close 3G session on idle, thanks to Menu > More Parameters > Connexions ...

Strange. My internet connection "live!" manages to download my MMS too.
Sorry that I could not help you.

I also have a "Live" profile, but I use one called "Mobile Internet" because "Live" has some ports blocked (for e-mail and other stuff). 10x for the help anyway.
I will try the advanced config method.

Thank you so much! It worked for me.

Thanks mate for such a simple fix. Having to always answer yes or no was a pain in the arse.

R1A was able to hadle simultanious pdp context, but in R2A it is perfect.

No, it's not. At least not for the ROMs based on R2A I've been using.
Had to change my MMS connection to "live!" in every ROM so far.

Where exactly can one find this? How do you get to Messages?

Multiple APN use on Cyanogen 3.4

Hi,
Im using Cyanogen's 3.4 ROM with Hero Theme 1.3.5 and can not for the life of me figure out how MMS is supposed to work simultaneously with data/internet.
I have 2 separate access points configured on the phone, one for the internet and one for MMS.
If i create an MMS whilst the internet APN has the green radio button next to it checked it will not send. However if i go into the APN settings in the phone and check the radio button next to MMS i can send and receive it with no problems but can no longer browse the internet over GPRS / 3G
there is no settings in messages to tell the application which APN to use and it appears that in its current state, the phone is not smart enough to swap over temporarily to the correct APN and then swap back, it has to manually be done.
Is anyone else having this problem or is there something i am missing to get the phone using both APN's at the same time?
Thanks in advance.

Try setting the apn type to "mms" for the MMS one. The checkbox will dissapear, sa that might mean you can no longer manually select it, since it will be selected automatically

Ok i tried that and your right, it did remove the check box. but it didn't fix the problem unfortunately. just for good measure i changed my internet APN to have the APN type and that didnt work. so i removed it, left the MMS APN with the APN type of MMS, powercycled and tried again, still didnt work
Got any other ideas? is anyone able to replicate it? Cheers

You could try to use "default" for the Internet apn type, along with "mms" for the mms one. Other than that.. try searching the internet for the settings.

cant send MMS

i cant send and download mms but gprs working perfect
what to do all the setting is ok

To make my MMS work I had to do (and this is translated so might differ a little):
Message tab -> All -> Menu -> Settings -> Settings -> Menu -> MMS-server -> your profile -> then the connection was set to GPRS or WAP, change this to My ISP or My work network.

its not working

What ROM are you using? I do know that some of the more recent ROMs have this particular problem.

MMS not working on Vodafone HD2
I've followed the instructions on the vodafone.co.uk site carefully for MMS server settings but my device simply fails to send OR receive MMS. This is highly annoying for such a new device.
HELP! Someone must have it sorted.

I have exactly the same problem except im an o2 uk user, cant send or recieve mms when using a cooked rom.

And the same for me on VF UK. Can't send or receive MMS. Did you ever get it sorted?

not sure about vf, but for o2, you need two data connections setting up. 1 is wap, for mms, and the other is for actual data. If you set the mms server settings to use the normal data connection, it simply wont work.
Problem is when you go to settings menu all settings connection connection select networks edit, it only shows the currently selected data connection, you cant see that there is another connection setting there. So, you need to change teh top dropdown to the second data connection (o2 active its called for o2, whilst the normal data is called mobile web) and THEN you can see/edit teh settings for that connection.
the mms server settings need to be told to use O2 active and not mobile web, else it wont work.
Just some thoughts.

O2 user - same problem
I've just come back from an O2 shop, where one of the "experts" there failed miserably to get my phone to send or receive an MMS. I share all of the above frustrations.
samsamuel - could you do a step-by-step guide to the set-up you describe? I would like to try this but I am struggling to follow your explanation.

no worries. if you still havent figured it out yourself and i havent replied by, say, monday, feel free to PM me and remind me. (I have the memory of a 90 year old goldfish)

ok, so heres what i did last time i manually set up mms for o2.
settings menu all settings connections connections add new modem
name o2 active (tho of course name doesnt matter)
modem cellular line gprs
AP name wap.o2.co.uk
user o2wap
pass password
domain blank
then, sms tab, all messages, menu settings options menu mms server new
name o2 active MMS (again, name doesnt matter)
ip 193.113.200.195
port 8080
server add h ttp://mmsc.mms.02.co.uk:8080
connect via **choose the name you gave the modem connection in part 1**
if you choose your normal data connection it wont work, it needs to be o2s wap server.
message size 300k
wap ver wap 2.0
soft reset, and it 'should' work.

MMS not sending..

I've searched and all I could find is how to fix resizing of MMS pictures. But for me I can't send them. It always says unable to send message. I don't know if I can receive them because I haven't had anyone send me one and I can't obviously send one to myself.

You will probably have to hard reset your phone. That happened to me and that is what I had to do.

look in
settings menu all settings connections
and see if you have a connection setup option, which should set up web data and mms data.
or, in the start menu, there may be a tmo branded item, possibly looks like a sim card, which will request settings from your network, , (though it doesnt work on my o2)
Alternatively, have you been messing with the mms server settings? particularly which data connection it uses to send? cos (certainly on the o2 uk one) if you set mms to use the wrong data connection it fails. (One is propper data, teh mms one is wap)
