My new TyTN...seems to be missing MMS...

...ok.
I just got a TyTN. On my HTC Universal, there was a MMS console or something...forget what they call it...
But it was flawless and there isn't one on the TyTN from what I can see...
Can someone help me out? It MIGHT be my general non-familiarity of the device so I don't see it...but I don't see any programs or settings that even come close to referencing it...
Thanks...

If I understand the questions correctly
From messaging.

Select MMS

You have to install the Shortcut-MMS.cab from ExtendedROM.
I for one, didn't install it, cause the whole messanging application (SMS and E-Mail) starts much faster without MMS installed.
At the moment I'm searching for a proper replacement for MMS that's not that lazy.

Missing MMS Menu on HTC TyTn
Hi,
I have the same problem on my HTC TyTn. In fact, MMS menu is missing. I've read the answer but I don't know where I could find shortcut-mms.cab.
Could you help me, please.
Jee

unhide the extendedrom as described in the extrom unlocker thread. then you should find a file *shortcut*mms*.cab in the dir /ExtendedROM

Hi,
Thanx for answering. I've tried what it explained, but nothing happen. My phone coming from SFR (vodaphone). Maybe there is something else to do.
Regards
ROM Version 1.23.163.3
ROM Date: 06/18/06
Radio Version: 1.16.00.00
Protocole: 32.53.7018.01W

Me, too, and I think I've got it figured out..
I have most of this problem solved but need one additional piece of info (at bottom); maybe someone can fill that in for me.
I got a new 8525 from Cingular.com the day they came out. The letter 'A' stuck so I had to exchange it for a new one. The first 8525 I had showed the MMS directory just fine but the second one they gave me did not. I'm not aware of any differences in the way I set them up or how this could be, but MMS has been missing from my second 8525 since I first fired it up. Cingular support was no help.
Here's what you need to do to fix it:
(1) You need to unhide the Extended ROM. Info on doing that can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=283750
Note that in my situation my phone was already SIM unlocked, and I found that I did not have to CID unlock my device in order to fix this problem. Information on what the difference is between SIM unlock and CID unlock can be found here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_SimUnlock
(2) Now, when you open File Explorer, you'll see a new folder listed called "Extended ROM." Open that folder and you'll see a list of .cab files that can install various things for you.
Run the MMS installation .cab file called "MT_Shortcut-MMS-Hermes" to install the MMS function that somehow got missed in the initial setup. I found that I was not able to install this program to Extended ROM, and I did not try to install it to the storage card, but it installed in my Device memory just fine.
Open up Messaging, and you should now see the MMS folder, unless you soft reset, in which case you have to re-install. In my case, no configuration of the MMS function was needed, and MMS works just fine.
QUESTION: Whenever I soft reset my phone, I lose the MMS function again and have to re-install from the .cab. How do I make MMS a permanent feature of my phone?
I hope this helps folks get at least as far as I've managed and maybe someone else can help finish answering this problem. Thanks in advance.

OK...
Let's say a stupid asshole erased his ext-ROM and is now missing the whole Shortcut-MMS.cab .
Is it possible to flash back only the ext-ROM ?
Can someone send the .cab to the asshole (meaning ME!) ??
Thanks

Sprint rom mms failure possibly due to Programming menu change

The diagnostic menu access and settings on the nexus 1 sprint rom for eris have changed providing only network selection type and some pretty cool battery stats.
This menu before provide a managery of localized network settings and changes that are no longer there or accessible by the verizon diagnostic number. If anyone knows what files in the rom are directly related to this structure change in the rom please post it here because i have a feeling its tied to the mms issues everyone is having. Its pretty much the only thing thats apparant as a physical change on this rom.

Thank you for your hard work in getting this fixed. Wish I had the time to help you out a little more.

We'll i've about exausted comparing files and swaping them out on my phone, i mean it shouldn't be this hard 2.1 is 2.1.

Yes but if your using a legend Rom than its a gsm ROM, so I believe this is were the mms problem is coming in to play.

I think he's talking about the sprint port from heroc. We're missing like one small part either about APN or some settings or something

Yeah, we're just missing something tiny, its working sorta on my build but not up to real usability yet.

can you elaborate on how you kinda sorta got it to work? I've noticed when sending there is sometimes a spinning data connect looking thing at the top as well. If you have any heads up i'll look into it.
And the apns-conf, i cracked open a nexus 1 rom and ripped out the file and theres verizon wirelss carrier settings in it. No go with that either. So it has nothing to do with the apns file or the mmsmmc or whatever file some people have noticed.

Pulling the APK's from the Eris 2.1 rom and putting them in the legend build got inbound going and sometimes it'll send outbound. I've still not worked out whats the last issue with it though.

I tried pushing the stock Mms.apk and .odex from eris into /system/app running aloyisous 4.1 and now my phone is stuck in never ending boot up. any ideas for a quick fix or do i have to reflash?
Edit: Fixed with a flash without wiping.

does mms work this way? I tried doing that for building the rom and it stuck at hung at bootscreen then finally got through then FC 1000 times

i pushed the stock mms and had no change in results, none at all, even though its a different file size. See mms.apk is the text messaging app, not the config file. We need to look beyond the app, the apns confg and whatever else is out. Or we'd have figured it out.
You said you partially got it working where ti sometimes works. What exact files did you copy to sometimes get this too work because i've yet to have 1 file go through.

MMS never worked on the 1.6 ROMS (T-mobile based) made for the HTC Touch on Verizon and other networks, afaik they still don't have it working.

found another adb file inside of framework-res.apk under /res/xml
but even though it says verizons link inside instead of sprints still no go. But i did received a "cannot send message not found" error after doing it only on picture outgoing. Maybe thats a heads up of where to start? Maybe that file in combination with another inside the framework folder is the key too all this.

Try this:
Load up a normal 2.1 ROM that MMS works for.
Download APN Backup & Restore.
Use it, Backup APN's.
Load up your Sprint ROM.
Download and open APN Backup & Restore.
'Delete APN's'
'Restore APN's', and choose the APNs that you backed up from the normal 2.1 ROM.
Your APN's may be very close, but this will make them E-X-A-C-T.
I'd be curious to see if this will fix.

You should read the forums bro, we've be explicitely dealing with apn file versions with no effect. Pretty much the first thing all of us tried.

I too am at work so I can't upload it from here......
If you know of another way i can send it to you i will ......
just curious, what personal info might be in this file ? any, or is just the generic VZW settings ??

you could email it, i think you can attach anything using the mail app off the sdcard but since I don't know what files it generates i'll just wait till im home. I think i can manage 4 hours of having to do work and not picture message.

question about latest cyanogen rom install

So I just installed cyanogen's new 2.1 rom which is running better then the 1.6 I had I follwed the wiki on how to upgrade but the Google apps. Still aren't installing the way I did it was
1 installed the defanged file followed by gapps file on the wiki then the actual. 2.1 is there something I'm missing

Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general

I dont think u need the defanged base...
boot into recovery mode and wipe
flash this update-cm-5.0.7-DS-signed(2)
then this gapps-ds-ERE36B-signed
reboot

Well, do you have 32a? for me when i use the 5.0.7 stuff i would lose my ram. I was wondering the same thing because i am stuck at 4.7.x with the defanged not really knowing how to get to 5.0.7

Installed 5.0.7.DS and now now SMS pictures
Hi, I installed the Cyanogen 5 stable ROM and now I'm not able to view picture or Images when I receive SMS. Is there a setting to this, because I've search everywhere and can find anything remotely to enable such setting if there is.
Thanks.

First off sorry about posting in the wrong section
I have the 32b magic and for the people having my issue I had to use the defanged file because if I just used the 5.0.7 and the Google apps. File my phone would not pass the mytouch screen I waited for an hour and had no luck so this is what I did and worked like a charm
BTW I'm running this with the old radio and spl with no issues as of now
Did a nandroid backup
Wiped my phone back to factory setting
Installed the defanged file
Followed by cyanogen 5.0.7
And last the Google apps. File. Cyanogen provided
The first boot took about five minutes and is now working like a charm the only app I didn't get was the Amazon mp3 store and I can't find a site with the direct link to the apk. File to install through my phone since I don't have a computer right now

I'm not having any issues who is your provider?? Also what is happening are you getting the messsage just no pic or nothing at all??

I have TMO and never had the problem with the stock ROM.
When selecting on a SMS with an Image included it displays a message: "The media content was not included due to a picture resolution or message size restriction."

First off I think you mean mms that's what picture and video messages are SMS are texts goto. Your settings then wireless / network. Then mobile network then apn it should have Tmobile checked goto the mmsc and make sure this is there http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
Then try again that should do it

Yes, you are right, it's MMS.
Anyhow, I tried the URL you posted; it's broken. I'll try going to TMO support site.
Thanks for you time.

Do the following Steps:
Go into Settings
Select Cellular
At the bottom screen select "add apn"
Type "wap.cingular" in the APN field
Press the check sign to save.
Soft reset your phone and you should have data access
Also make sure you have "Data connection" On

I have the exact same issue. Down to even the same radio. Has this issue been resolved with the APN? I have no problem with data just MMS. I can neither send nor receive.
I tried:
wap.cingular alone and with the [email protected] CINGULAR1 username and password combination
proxy
ism.cingular
isp.cingular
I checked my girlfriends Samsung WinPhone 7 config on AT&T and it lists no APN settings at all yet MMS works without issue.
I am at a road block here and MMS is something I use for work almost daily. I would really hate o have to go back to WinMo 6.5.
Thanks for your time everyone,
Mike

Always use Connection Setup when setting after a hard reset or new flash. Do manual setup if no other work around. The new ROM's have a new database of carrier settings to automate connection setups.

[Q] Apn Issues - Darky's ROM 10.1

Hey forum,
I know a lot of you would of heard stuff like this before, but after flashing Darky's ROM I'm having issues with APN. I have tried multiple times to access mobile Internet, and I noticed I have no access points. I have tried to create access points as I have been given the info on how to access Virgin's internet, but each time I go to save it, nothing saves, it stays blank. Anyone have any ideas?

Yeah it's a problem with JVO/JVH itself. I also had that problem. The trick is to not touch the MNC field when entering the apn. After that it's all sweet. So even if MNC is shown as 029 do not go in there and change it.
Hope that helps

try restoring to default apn then proly nothing will happen but you will be able to save new once after... worked for me...

solve
u can solve this problem when u flash the dark core 2.6 kernel
it work perfect with me
(sorry for my english)

I have the same problem.
I'm not running Darky, I have stock JVP, with CF_root
I did restore to default and I never changed MNC
Name, APN, APN Type are the only 3 fields i modified, and it still will not save
Any other ideas?

Can you send mms?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

No, I also need an APN for that.
Got an answer that seems to make sense, haven't had the chance to test it as I'm in the office for another 4/5 hours.

Apparently re-flashing new firmware with an old CSC meant for your region should do the trick. Follow the link for more info.

If anybody is still interested, I did as advised in the link I provided above and it worked. Basically I downloaded an older firmware which had the CSC for my region of the world, and flashed the CSC alone to my phone through Odin, no pit no repartition.
It worked perfectly fine and I didn't lose any of my data or apps.
Good luck.
