OK tried everything

I basically bought a brand new wizard from O2 in Uk, hard reset it, reset when "starting customisation", installed "show ext rom cab" and got rid of all that crap.
got everything working on the pda, software installed, but I CANNOT get MMS to work.
Ive tried cabs off here, inputting manual settings, and I cant get it to work.
Im thnking maybe I need to install something else? Ive got "MMS Configuration..." under the different account menu, which is maybe mms composer? I go to about and it says "mms composer v3.0.7.14" but there is nowhere i can DESIGN an mms???
I had this problem on my old compact when I went bigstorage.
ANYONE HELP
thanks by the way, great site.

why don't you install the I-Mate rom instead - and then just delete the antivirus and skype - so that you have a nice and clean install which works really fast (from experience) - and also works with mms 100%?

surely there is an easier way than reflashing the device with a new rom.
I've got this just as I want it bar the mms.

well it's your business ... however... when you hit the reset button to "get rid of the crap"... you might have prevented some patches from being installed - and sometimes these patches are important for stable functionality.
In any case, I agree that there must be a way to get the MMS working without flashing the ROM, however I just feel that the I-Mate rom without hitting the reset during boot and with all the patches - will probably serve you better.
However, I wish you luck with your current ROM.

Somebody said the only benefit of flashing a k-Jam Rom on was the wifi G. Not so, after you have done the extended ROM thing on the K-JAM Rom, you have about 5mb more space, and none of the T-Mob rubbish like that horrible pink dialer. The Camera appears to be slightly better too.

Don't do a reset when the O2 extended rom kicks in, let in run and choose a "Basic" install at the menu. You get all the O2 conectivity and MMS App but no O2 active or anything. it does install a couple of O2 apps that you can remove later.
Oh, there are a couple of O2 items in the start up you need to remove as well.
Not perfect but probably an easier option if like me you couldn't be doing with the hassle of a full reflash

well, ive got no o2 cabs on the device anymore, only stuff like resco and the likes in its place :lol:
but I made a copy of all the cabs, does anyone know what they are?
And which ones people would recommend to install

Update please
Hello
I am in the same situation as you!
Have done a hard reset to get rid of the o2 crap which makes the machine run loads better.
I have everything back to how I want it except the MMS function.
How did you solve your dilema?
Thanks

Me as well, any way to get the MMS accont back?

I had a similar problem of not being able to send MMS, but never have done and found out 6 months later that O2 hadnt set it up on my account !!!
Worth a check

[HELP] Data Connection (Not Disconnecting After MMS)

Hay all,
I've got a major problem here and I'm not sure if it's a common Blackstone thing or if I can stop it.
Basicly after I recieve a Media Message (MMS) or send one the data connect stays active.
I'm on Orange and it uses Orange Internet as thats the only data connect info I can find on the phone (when sending a MMS it show up as Orange MMS in the little info bubble at the top)
Is there a way so that after I recieve an MMS or send one it automaticlly dissconects like on the Nokia Phones?
As this could cost me a fortune having an active connection open an not relising.
Thanks

There are several ways to accomplish this. I'm guessing you're on stock ROM, so the easiest way to accomplish this would be to install HDTweak which has settings to automatically turn off data when not in use (you can set things like to turn off 1min after not being used or 5, etc). If you're on a cooked ROM, you can check if there is a "Data" tab when you go to Settings>Phone>Data which will have an option to automaticaly turn off data when not in use.

Thanks for the reply - When I go to settings there is no Data option
How do I do this rom stuff - I've new so a little unknowning on these kinda things

I would probably advise you to do the first thing I posted, which is try HDTweak, since you won't have to mess with ROMs that way as it's nothing more than a program, but with powerful features. However, if you do wish to flash to a new ROM, do so at your own risk. The ROM development section has great tutorials along with a plethra of ROMs to choose from, and I believe most of the new ones have the Data tab (I know Duty's ROMs have it, but I'm guessing that many of the other ones do as well, and you can always just ask in the thread with the ROM that interests you the most). Just make sure to read the wikis on in the ROM section, they'll answer all your questions and if there is anything left unanswered then a search in the ROM section will probably give you the solution.
Good luk

SMS not working on cricket

I just flashed my phone and the phone works fine. I just have problems
with sms. I can't send or recv any sms messages. I used prl 1050 and 38515
and still the same. I keep getting message can't be sent and the
bottom of the screen shows error synchronizing. Is there any settings for
SMS in this phone? I did the *228 programming and it all went thru fine, and followed the instructions that ryan mogul posted for programming the phone with my new phone # and settings.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
thnx

Possible Solution: disable "Automatic Prepend" phone feature
This is an old thread, but if you use a Sprint-based ROM with Cricket, you'll probably have problems sending SMS.
Solution:
Turn of the feature "Automatic Prepend", which prepends a "1" to the phone# when sending SMS
HowTo:
Start Menu --> Settings --> Phone --> Services tab --> select Automatic Prepend --> click Settings button
change it to disabled, then click OK, then close all windows
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Also, PRL 1050 is no longer a working PRL, and will probably cause problems if you are using it. *228 is best method for loading a good PRL, although if you're a cricket user, and you have a diamond/touchpro, *228 will only work when you have a 1X (non-EVDO) PRL loaded, such as 1042. To get around this, you have load a 1X PRL before trying *228. Just copy the PRL file to your storage card, or to your Internal Storage or My Documents folder, and then dial ##775# (or ##778#) to use the HTC PRL loader to load the 1X prl (such as this one)

thnx for the reply , its already disabled still not working
can't send msgs but recv fine
and the data portion doesnt work , internet from cricket doesnt work also
i'm stumped

I'm having the exact same problem. I've tried different roms, tried *228, call cricket, ect. When I First got my phone i could send and receive txts, but MMS and data didn't work dispite the cab installs and manual pst programming I did. I have verified with a flasher that everything is flashed properly and he told me that it was probably my rom (RyanMogul2006's 3.1 light cricket build) I tried cooking my own, and also tried DCD's 3.2.6 (currently on) I don't understand why this wont work! I can make and receive calls no problem, but also when I load IE, it takes me to the mycricket.clearmode.com/brandstoreBPPortal/go?page=subscription where it tells me I need to subscribe to mobile web (it's included in my plan and confirmed by the reps)
any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you.

I have had this problem with several phones lately. (A Q and two 6800's with Ryan Moguls Rom's. The problem is obviously Cricket's, because you can get to URL's within the Cricket Portal, but usually cant get other URL's (sporadically I would get google.com). The cricket people either swore I had Internet on my account or in the first case they charged me $5 to upgrade my account (to mobile Email) to no avail.
I finally took it to a Cricket owned store, and the guy said, o yeah, I will fix it, and he changed a setting (on their net) and it worked. In another case/different phone, a different store said that my $45 account, (special price, but includes Internet) did not show Internet on it, so he added it.
Find somebody at Cricket who knows something (the customer service over the phone is worthless) and tell them the basics (clearmode.com only) and see if they can fix it.
btw this is unrelated to the original SMS problem (I have seen this fixed by rechecking the PST settings & *228)

Okay I went a person yesterday, and they told me that if it shows up in the system as a "flashed phone" it will sometimes disable you from sending txts or anything. She changed it to a dummy phone (something Motorola) and then did an account refresh and now everything works! My guess is that this is what causes this, so I think we can safely close this thread now.

SMS not always sending

Hi all, I switched my phone to the latest EnergyROM WM6.5 Rom from Miri's 6.5 rom to give it a try and I have to admit I love it. My only gripe is that I struggle to send text messages, a problem I had with a few previous roms but it seems to be getting worse. I'm not using Manilla, I just use the Titanium front end and not the threaded SMS system. I can type either a new message or reply to someone, with full strength on my phone and many times it comes up the message could not be sent, so I have to go into drafts and send it again and sometimes it will go and others it wont. Its driving me insane as I use my phone primarily for texting and I dont ever remember having this problem on the original Orange rom. Has anybody else come across this?
P.S. Sometimes at the bottom of the messaging app it says Error Synchronizing if that makes any difference

Maybe flash another ROM and also radio. Or try a hard reset, maybe it will solve your issue

I've tried a number of roms (Dutty, Miri & EnergyROM), I always hard reset at least twice after flashing and have tried the 1.13 and 1.14 radios (With and without the Rilphone.dll addon) and still have the problems at random. It doesn't happen all the time which I find confusing, sometimes it will refuse to send an SMS a couple of times then will send it no problem

Possibly try going to Start > Settings > Personal > Phone > Advanced and then deselect/turn off 'Add home country prefix to phone numbers etc etc'

I've tried that one but that particular option isn't in the latest energyrom release which is currently my favoured rom, although I cannot seem to find anyone else posting this problem with that rom

Eep! Rooted Hero and now Messages Don't Work!

Hi all,
I finally took the plunge today and rooted my Hero and used MoDaCo's 2.3 custom Hero Rom by "Paul", and it appears to have been installed correctly (used the video tutorial via unlockr as a, err, tutorial).
However, I just heard my sms ringtone go off, went t check my messages, but i can't load any threads now!!! I can compose new ones, read the last lines of each thread in the all messages view (though not the new one), and a reboot didn't help.
Can anyone tell me what I've done wrong?? It's rather urgent, so any quick reply would be much appreciated
Thanks in advance!
edit: I've now gone back to the stock T-moby one, thank heavens for the nandroid backup!

It depends what you went from but I'm guessing the original stock ROM. You need to clear the data on the phone as the update uses some different data formats in the new ROM (2.x). In particular, the new SMS database has at least one new column, so the old SMS database typically causes the problem you are experiencing. Use the data clear function in the recovery ROM to make sure all old data is gone and then flash with the new ROM. I've found the factory reset wasn't adequate for clearing the data from the phone before flashing with the new ROM.

I went from the new Orange ROM to Modaco v2.3 last night. Had similar problems at first However, I did the whole installation process again but did a 'Wipe' before re-installing the custom ROM. Everything now works perfectly.

Wipe is a must
and then.....all is good

thanks one and all; I guess that means I will have to get htc sync to work first then!

Thought I'd drop a quick line to say that the wipe-then-install did the trick! Pity I couldn't save the text messages, though
Thanks guys

there are a number of backup apps in the Market
I used MyBackup to backup SMS prior to the wipe, then restored after flashing with the custom rom.

A wipe isnt necessary..the new sms db just has a new column in it.. index_on_sim on the sms table. Adding that in any sqlite browser does the trick and messages load fine.

I'll use the MyBackup for next time, then, as I've got an interim program SMSBackup that sends all sms' to my gmail instead. which is another way of doing it, just shame you can't put it back in after.
I think I'm going to install the new radio, as now just realised the mobile data connection doesn't work! Ah, the dangers of rooting your phone and using a custom ROM
Edit: Uhm, that didn't help, using 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18 radio from MoDaCo, and yes, the mobile network box is checked, signal is at full, and in a location where i used to have HSDPA (H). D'oh! Might just sod it and just wait until the T-Moby one, then

you might wanna check under "settings -> wireless controls -> mobile network settings -> access point names" if the right access point is defined. that's the most probable cause for not having a data connection.

@nuumuun: You, sir, are a star in a reasonably priced car!!! The APN list was empty, had no idea what they were but a quick uk google on "tmobile apn settings" gave about 5 varients of answers, I picked one I felt was more recent (WAP? I don't think we use that anymore ), and the "H" is back on the notification bar!
