[Q] MMS not configured? - HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an

Do we need to run the connectionsetup.xap to configure the MMS settings? I entered the APN settings but I can't send pictures text.

What is your APN?
I used epc.t-mobile.com
user: blank pw: blank
I can send/receive MMS and texts

I figured out T-Mobile MMS Problem. Here r correct setttings

After weeks of trying to figure this out here are the correct settings!!
1 Under My Work Network, select (Add a new modem connection)
2 Enter a name for your connection; I used (MMS)
3 From the Select a modem drop down choose Cellular Line (GPRS)
4 Tap Next
5 In the text box labeled (Access point name) type in wap.voicestream.com
6 Tap Next
7 Leave the User name, Password, and Domain fields blank
8 Tap Finish
9 Tap the Proxy Settings tab
10 Place a check in both boxes
11 Leave (Proxy server) blank
12 Tap Advanced
13 Leave HTTP and Socks Server fields blank.
14 Enter 216.155.165.050 for your WAP server. Port # is 9201
15 Enter 216.155.165.050 for your Secure WAP server. Port # is 9201
16 Tap OK twice
Now go to your MMS program and set it up, create a new server and I called mine T-Zones. Here are those settings.
Server Name: T-Zones
Gateway: 216.155.165.050
Server Address: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
Tap ok
Now go to preferences and enter these settings,
Connect Via: My Work Network
Connect to Server: T-Zones
(check the box to retrieve messages immediately)
And it should work.
Enjoy!
Nice job, can you send?
I'll also give this settings a try under ezWAP 2.5 and see if they work with
it.

What MMS program are you using?
Also is there an option/setting for
"Sender address type:" in this program?
If so what do you have it set to?

I am using the built in MMS prog. on the iMate.
I have MMS enabled on my account, I can receive the message header
but I can never download, sending seems to work, but they never get delivered.
Any ideas?

I'm using the i-mate on t-mobile with the default program built in as well.
I don't see "Sender address type:" or "Sender address".. where is this and what should it be set to?
-arebelspy
Sender address should be set to Phone Number and Sender address should be your 10 digit mobile number. So check these settings where ever they maybe.

Picture Messaging w/ a wizard? Why won't it work?

I have an MDA that will not send picture messages. Text messages work fine, but I've tried all the ways to send picture messages and I can't get picture messages to work!
Specs: T-Mobile MDA. I did the soft-reset trick to keep the customizations from loading. I then ran the cab file I found here to restore the MMS settings.
Server Name:T-Mobile MMSC
Gateway: 216.155.165.50
Port: 9201
Server: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
Connect Via: My Work Network <---- I don't have a data plan, but I do have a text messaging package from Tmo that apparently includes picture messaging. Is this my issue??
Sending Size Limitation: 100k
WAP Version: 1.2

I have the K-Jam with a Tmo plan and I have wondered about the same thing.
You can only send MMS messages through the wap APN. Thus, you must create a dialing connection to wap.voicestream.com and then specify the MMS connection to connect via that APN.

Go to Settings, Connections tab.
Select Connections
Under 'My ISP' select 'Add new connection'
For name, select T-Mobile WAP
For modem, select Cellular Line (GPRS)
Click Next
For Access point name, enter 'wap.voicestream.com'
Click next
Leave all fields (user name, etc) blank
Click Finish
Go to Messaging applet
Click MMS Configuration on Menu
Select Servers tab
If you have not already entered the T-Mobile server, do it now. (covered in other thread)
Under Connect via: drop down, select 'My ISP'
Click OK
Send an MMS message.
Also, if you have a T-Mobile family plan as I do, right now you can get unlimited messaging (text messaging, mms, etc) for 9.99/month. Our family shares a plan with 4 phones (two teenage daughters). That comes to 2.50 per phone for unlimited messaging. The best deal I know right now!
JonnoB,
Thanks for the help. Unfortunately, picture messaging still doesn't work. Since MMS requires transmittal over a GPRS connection, wouldn't that imply that you must have a data plan to use it?
I did exactly as outlined in your post and my phone even says "T-Mobile WAP (GPRS) Connected". However, I have no IE or picture messaging functionality. Thanks again for your input.

Yes, I think it does require some sort of plan. At least T-Zones because while the message is received via SMS, the rest of the data is downloaded from the WAP server afterward. If MMS is important to you, you should consider the $20 unlimited plan for data... or if you find yourself in hot spots, the $30 plan which includes unlimited wifi as well.
Oddly enough, T-Mobile customer care claims that a data plan is not required for MMS. Their solution was to hard reset the device. I'm not sure I want to hard reset with all the T-Mobile bloatware.

T-Mobile US MMS ISSUE

When I try to send MMS, it shows that it goes either to 99 or 100% but then stays in the outbox with the clock next to it...
And I also realized that I can receive, but not send... anyone know why?
Using Faria 3.3 ROM, ArcSoft 3.5, everything is configured right according to T-Mobile. I'm about to start ripping my nails out! It seems that some others had the same issue but no solution. Ugh...
HEEEELP!

Try this ninja magic...
In the messaging app, select :
Menus / Tools / Options
Select MMS
Select the "Servers" tab
Finally set T-Mobile as Default
We'll have try some more ninja magic if you don't have a T-Mobile Option.
Settings are exactly off the T-Mo configurator, except for the 0...
One thing... I'm not using the proxy, could this be the issue?
[edit] Doesn't work even with a proxy.
herzzreh I Had The Same Problem I Had To Create A New MMS Configuration And Put The Following:
Server Name: PictureMessaging
Gateway:216.155.165.50
Port Number: 8080
Server Address: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
Connect Via: The Internet
Sending Size Limiation: 300k
WAP Version: WAP 2.0
Then Make That New File You Created As Your Default.
And Also Make Sure Your Connection Is T-Mobile GPRS (wap.voicestream.com)
Hope That Could Help

Look in the registry for this key:

Check these values:
"PromptForActiveConnection"=dword:00000000
"HideNotification"=dword:00000001

Thank you. Ignore the PM I sent you the other day asking for this same thing. Thank you again.

Anyone else with simple mobile having problems receiving mms on there G2?

Title says it all, mine only work every once in a blue moon.
Its the one thing that is frustrating me with their service. It has worked MAYBE Twice.
Its the APN settings. It has to be something, no pun intended, simple in them that has to be added or taken away.

Agreed, I'm trying to figure it out
Keep me posted. I have tried everything from their website to their facebook page and even from a couple of threads here on xda. It seems that its somewhat device specific. There is no true 'setting'. I just got tired of trying different things and told everyone to email me because most everyone I know has a smartphone to do that with nowadays... still would like the option though. Knowing its busted annoys.
Maybe this will help:

What's interesting is there are no MMS Protocol option in my apn settings. I am trying these and will post results anyway, though. But my experience is always different when the variables are not the same.
Edit:
Yeah, doesn't seem to be working. Just keeps sending but never finishes. This is annoying!
I have simple mobile and its working fine on my end. Sometimes receiving will lag and i wont get a picture here and there but for the most part it works. Also i only have 1 apn set but when i had my g1 i had 2(two) like the poster above said.

Does borealis17 own a Vision? If not, Evofision might be the exception. I waould like two know how many G2 users are also simplemobile users. Then we can get to the bottom of this!

Donations
I will give a donation to whomever can get this mms working fully functional, this is horrendously killing my ability to receive dirty pictures from women. Will donate via paypal if solution works.
I think I figured it out. I am broke and would love a donation but the decision is yours. We were kinda in this together.
I was playing around with settings and found that if I use chap authentication... BAM!!!
Also default,supl,mms in the last line as well.
Hope this helps!

sorry let me rephrase, I called simple mobile, there customer service(which is horrible btw), told me to create two apn's, one for web and the other for mms, did you do that or do you have one apn?
What is the success rate of downloading your picture messages?
also, can you just post your APN settings?
and if it works as it should, I promise I will make a donation to you.

Have you tried changing the authentication settings as yet?
I just have one apn. The thing I noticed when I put two in is that our phones only use one at a time. There is no switch off component. we choose which settings and thatss the one it uses. I did that with the recommendation from the user who posted the settings and had a differnt set for the mms. After doing it I saw that it was useless because of the fact that you can only use one at a time.
I have sent myself photes on a number of occasions and they have worked everytime. I have noticed that it DOES NOT work on wifi. My apn settings are the default set with the authentication set to chap. That's it! Go to the apn settings and hit menu, then hit reset to default. It takes a minute or two. After, when it gets set, go to the and set chap auth. That's it.
I have tried to upload a screen shot but all the browsers and even the xda app won't let me. But that's the subject of another thread!
Hope this helps. Let me know when you have tried it.
I get them but they r almost always jacked up some how. The text won't show or the picture won't show or the pic will flash on the screen for like .01 seconds...
They is why I like email on my phone lol
