I have a LG E900 that runs a windows phone 7 OS that I was given from Microsoft at the PDC. I use T-moibile in the us and there are a few things that I noticed are not working right since I dont have the US settings for example the mms message cant download and whenever I get updates from tmobile or my voicemail they come through as a text from the number 129.
I was wondering if anyone knows of a different version of teh firmware I can upload to use all my features on tmobile or if anyone else has the same phone and was abel to send MMS on tmobile US.
Thanks,
Jim

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.

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.
Ok, heres the deal. I have had my MDA for about 8 months now, and havent been able to figure out how to change the mms settings. I spent about an hour on the phone today with tech support for my phone company, and they think my phone is locked out(its not using a t-mobile sim). I have all the settings that I need to put in, it just wont let me create a new MMS account. What do I need to do to this thing to make it work? I tried searching the forums, but the results I get are too numerous to find anything....
Please help me!

My cellular company is IWireless, its a small carrier in Iowa, it works off of the T-Mobile network for nationwide, however, the MMS settings are off their own network. Im currently using the 2.26 T-mo rom again. I tried a WM6 rom(it was a TNT one), and the phone began acting extremely strange.. texts would get lost, I couldn't receive some calls, and I wouldn't get voice mail notifications... however, I could send and receive MMS (once I had the phone configured right)
I tried the CAB trej3k posted, and it didn't work. I have all the settings that I need to input into the phone, its just that I cant modify the settings in the MMS settings tab(the buttons are grayed out)
For now, I think I can live with having my phone, and no MMS, however, I would like to find someway to modify the phone still using the T-Mo 2.26 rom(works best with my carrier). Any ideas?
If you're willing to give it a try, install a newer ROM of your choice, and then replace your Radio ROM with one of the T-Mobile ones. I know you still want to retain your original ROM, but choosing a vanilla ROM with a low WM build number can usually get you a pretty stable device.
I'd recommend the UK 2.19 for you, it usually minimizes Missed calls, even on the US T-Mobile network.
I dont think that I can be doing any worse than what I have been for the last week... I was beginning to wonder why nobody was calling me, checked my voicemail, and I had 12... the phone never alerted me that I had voicemails(or that anybody called)...
There is no way, I take it, to work a way around T-mo's block on the MMS settings without flashing a new rom(again)?
I have been using my KS20 with AT&T for a while now, and I realize my messaging package includes mms. and the funny part is, i have never ever used mms in my life, so i tried and failed realizing, oh i need to set it up! which the at&t support didnt help at all! Can someone help me.... thanks in advance!
i followed the instruction from ATT on the LG INCITE it worked for me

Are any of you HD2 owners in Japan?
I'm thinking of getting an HD2 and getting it to Japan.
I'll charge it via USB/PC.
Am I right in thinking I can simply use my current Sim card and continue using the HD2 so long as I use the same Access point and Password for my current carrier? (My current setup is unlimited/SoftBank.)
In other words - the actual phone hardware should make no difference right - so long as the services you use and the login details are the same?
Any opinions would be welcome.
Thanks.
Softbank Pre-paid MMS
I have a slightly different problem: -
I'm using a pre-paid SIM card in my HD2 with unlimited e-mails. I can call and send/receive SMS's no problem. But when someone sends me an MMS (all messages sent to my [email protected] address from phones or internet are treated as MMS), I get the message notification which shows the subject line but; when click to download the message it says that I cannot download. I assume that this is because, although I have unlimited e-mails (via my [email protected] address) I don't actually have internet access; is that right?
I've tried installing Zgembo's S!Mail, but it doesn't seem to install without his manila...which is for a different phone and so messes up the phone interface. Even then, I couldn't get the damn thing to send out an e-mail.
All I want to do is send and receive phone e-mails (or S!Mails, if you're keen). Any and all assistance will be much appreciated!
BeeGee is a GOD
Went to his website and followed the excellent step-by-step instructions and now am ridiculously happy!
Hi Everyone,
I'm bumping this thread as I'm a Softbank HD2 User. I'm currently using an iPhone Sim Card (Black one).
I was just wondering what radio you guys are using as I couldn't get a decent signal after trying so many of them.
From my experience it seems 2.15.50.14 is the best .
What about you ?
Cheers,
I.
Radio Settings
I just have it on auto-detect and haven't had any signal problems. I'm sure you've tried it already though...
You should have no problem. I am Softbank too. I have an HD2 & I finnally found a rom that will eccept the softbank MMS & Smail sending & receiving software, (Zgembo Softbank MMS). All is working great now. I had to try many roms to find one that would work, this one does. (Build 21914.5.0.93) WM 6.5 OS Version 5.2.21914.
BeeGee Link, please
I see that you all got MMS working on the HD2 + Softbank + Prepaid - would you be kind enough to post a link in BeeGee's site where the process is described?
I've been searching around there (and in XDAdevelopers) and can't seem to find that post that explains what to do to get MMS on the HTC HD2...
thanks!!
I am in New Zealand and have purchased an ex AT&T Samsung Focus. Love WP 7.5 but cant send or recieve txt pictures. I doubt Telecom N.Z and AT&T use different protocols.
So its either a software incompatability or the that my focus tells Teleco N.Z that the phone is a AT&T model.
So I seem to have two options Change the ROM to a different version of WP7.5 or edit the Carrier name. Depends what is causing Telecom to lock me out of picture sharing?
If I edit the Carrier name what do I out in its place to indicate its a Telecom phone.
