i was having issues with stock mms on my vibrant. i downloaded "save mms" application and i am able to save "mms" messages to my phone. i don't know if this helps you or not.
Is there an APK I can install that can help me with that?
i'm sure there is some where on here. the easiest way is to check the market for "save mms".
Maybe not a problem but do you happen to have your data network turned off through via holding down power button? This was how i fixed my mms :/
You may want to try and put + in front of the conctacts numbers.
+ 7081234567 .
stock Tmobile 2.2 MMS does not work unless you change all of your contact numbers ex. 555-555-1234 now needs to be 5555551234. go to your contacts app and select the contact hit menu then edit to change the number

Hi
I'm new to this forum and not that technically savvy so apologies if this is a daft post.
I have a problem with my (UK) T-Mobile MDA Vario in that the MMS menu item is missing from the Start -> Messaging -> Menu -> Switch Accounts menu (I'm told it should be there).
I've followed the T-Mobile instructions for setting up the MMS server configuration and that all looks fine but I just don't see the MMS menu item to enable me to send a picture message.
Details when I start up the phone are as follows:
IPL 2.21
SPL 2.21
GSM 02.19.11
OS 2.21.2.6
Can anyone tell me how I can get the menu item onto my phone?
Many thanks
mms
why did you not look into the message folder?
it should be there
Thanks for the reply.
The only folders I see under the Start -> Messaging -> Inbox dropdown are:
Outlook E-mail
Text Messages
Is that the Message folder you mean?
Thanks

Official T-Mo Rom?
Some official T-Mo roms disable MMS settings editing. I believe T-Mo 2.26 rom does this.
Missing MMS folder
Hi
I had the same problem with my Cingular 8125. After many discussions with Cingular support and no success, I stumbled upon this cab. file, copied and opened the file to my device. I now have the MMS folders.
Have attached the ZIP file for Extended_ROM2.
Below is the cab file that worked for me.
MP-Shorcut-MMS1-Java5xx-CyberonVoice-CV-051220.CAB
I know how U feel. I am also new to these smart phones and only yesterday have I been able to configure MMS, Email and Internet.

Yes this is the folder where MMS would be along with Text and Outlook. Sounds like MMS was accidentally deleted as a new email account was being entered. You may have to hard re-set your device to get it back' or hit NEW at the bottom left, and enter MMS as the new account.

Does your camera have MMS option?
fixed! (well pretty much)
Hi All
Many thanks for your responses!
I tried installing your CAB file Rod and it seems to work a treat - the MMS menus and folder are there now and I can send and receive picture messages - result! When I restarted I lost them again though but I can live with that, I'll just install the CAB after each restart.
hotdog53, yes the camera had the option of sending via MMS but when I chose that absolutely nothing happened. Seems to be alright after the CAB install though.
Thanks again for your help!!

Hi Claire
Great to hear U has some measure of success. I can't remember offhand exactly which folder I installed the cab in, not sure if that would make a difference. Maybe U could try it in different folders. I have restarted my phone numerous times since and have had no problem. Maybe someone else could help out.I am now offshore India and had to leave my phone onshore, so no access to it for a few days.
Good luck

I was wondering if there were any other mms hacks that work on the mogul other than the widely known one at ppcgeeks, cause it only works when it wants to and I would like to try a different one.
Lately there have been server issues where it just doesn't want to send any picturemails... heh, seems like Sprint is try to crack down on it
yea, and that sucks cause I tend to send alot of pics to other peoples cell phones that dont have email on their phones, or dont know how to use it.
well I figured something out!, I turned off my data conection and turned on my wifi(thanks to my wireless antenna) and triend sending again and it went off without a hitch! Damn Sprint!
Hmm, I don't even have MMS in my Mogul Inbox apps, only Text Message, Outlook, and my email account. How do you guys send MMS then?
IN my Cingular 8525, I have MMS in the Inbox apps.

I found a workaround/fix that has it working.
Change you DNS from Sprint's to Open DNS.
see : http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/ppc-6...et-access.html
Then it should work every time.
here use this thread, it works.
http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/ppc-6700-xv6700/82107-wanna-speed-up-your-internet-access-3.html
mms works fine for me, had to softboot twice but always had to softboot twice with wisebar on my 6700, out of curiosity why would sprint want to prevent you from sending picmail when you are paying for power vision? "seems like Sprint is try to crack down on it"

Not sure if it's just me, but with that program you have to already know the person's number to enter it in? Is there a way to pull up the address book and select a number?

What about Alltel's ROM... they offer picture/video mail on their 6800s... can anyone extract the cabs out of it??
I don't know about anyone else, but the MMS app seemed to really slow down my phone... sometimes the messaging application would freeze up entirely when it was installed!
So, I found that at least for Sprint users, you can send an email to <phone number>@pm.sprint.com, and it will show up as an MMS message on that user's phone!
This is a much more robust way to send pic mms, and my phone is much happier now without the MMS app.

they are not cabs to extract, it is not installed from the extended_rom but instead part of the ROM.
if someone else knows what files and regs are needed i could extract them and build a cab. i had considered trying to track them down and/or pulling out files/regs used in the mms cab from ppcgeeks. i could try this but i have a feeling the mms builtin to alltels has stuff all over that would be hard to track down.
it is arcsoft mms though just looks like a diff version. installing the ppcgeeks arcsoft mms cab on alltel does not produce working mms and this is part of my feeling that this version is layed out quite differently.

This is the exact same thing I experienced with the mms cab from arcsoft. My phone was sluggish and whenever I tried to go into my text message shortcut it would take up to a minute to load up.
I'll go without for now too, until we can find a way around this.
This is the OLD WAY
I use the old MMS Cab file from Verizon 6700. It's very simple to make it work. First install the Cab , then the cab text menu. after the soft reset, just go into the Arcsoft files registry and change the Enableserveredit ot 1 , default is 0. Once that is done, go to the MMS config and change to sprintpcs and the address also to sprintpcs. then thats it. This is just a brieft description if anyone wants to try it.
If anyone want me to attached the file and go step by step, just post the reply here and i'll get to it. Reason is because i don't know if everyone knows about it or not, so i won't waste time posting the files.
You will have an MMS in Messaging, YOU can send it from there, but when you received MMS pix/video it is received in the Text Message account. Basically this MMS account enable you to send MMS pix/video and receiveds then in your Text Messaging account. When receiving MMS, it will send you a link to the pix/video directly. I know on the Alltel, it takes you to the sprint messaging website and you have to log in to see pix/video. The setup above as i described, takes you directly to the pix/video and do not need to log in.
FYI:....send MMS using phone numbers not e-mail addy
Right now after doing the resolution hack, my MMS won't send out, giving me an error that says my image size of 16k or whatever is over the 0k limit? I can change my resolution to the lowest setting and it's still giving me the same error.
Hey yall,
I'm trying to figure out what happen here. I believe on most pocket pc phones - when you press messaging you are brought to a screen that shows the options
----------------
TEXT MESSAGES
----------------
MMS
----------------
SET UP EMAIL
----------------
What I would like to know is on my phone I had all those things however just recently all I would see after pressing the messaging shortcut is
--------------
SET UP EMAIL
--------------
Where did the text messaging and mms option go? Are there ways to fix this without hard resetting? I sure hope so - it'll save me a lot of time. Thanks a bunch guys.

I don't think the rom has anything to do with this - I could be wrong though. :-/

That is all the shortcut has personally I like:
32#:"\windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -open "inbox"
That is a direct link to SMS inbox I programmed it to my right soft key for fast access.
Hope I helped ya!

Thanks for trying however that won't solve the problem I am having above. Using file explorer I would click on tmail.exe - the only thing that will pop up is
Setup E-Mail
SMS and MMS are not there to choose from. Originally when I click on messaging I would get 3 options to choose from. Now I would only get 1. Does that make any sense?
Looks like you might need to install Arcsoft again to get it back if it is gone.

Well that didn't work. Thanks for trying though. One thing I do notice though is - when you hard reset and check the process section under taskmanager you will see tmail.exe running in the background. With my problem - the tmail.exe is no where to be found under process. Clicking on the actual tmail.exe file under /windows doesn't do anything either. :-/

Have you installed any mail/sms software?
I just switched to the even more plus plan, and now can no longer send MMS messages or e-mails. I can receive them though, and I do have Internet access too. I can also send SMS messages too. It's just MMS and e-mail I can not send. The MMS messages send status go from 0% to 99% and then I get an generic error.
I tried several ROMS from the standard shipping ROM to a 6.5/Sense 2.5, and none worked. I upgraded my radio too and that did not help.
I called T-mobile, but so far they have been little help. The said they keep seeing errors and clearing them, but still no luck.

Thank you, thank out!
The T-Mobile settings always start as epc.tmobile.com. That doesn't seems to work and changing them to wap.voicestream.com as you said fixes it.
My real problem was that I was not (under settings...connections)...
...going to advanced (tab at bottom)
...then select networks button (box)
...and then switch to T-Mobile MMS on the drop down menu.
I was just changing T-mobile Data only and missed the drop down box and MMS.
I also may not have restarted, but it is working now!
I am now off to try the other suggestion so that I do not have teeny tiny thumbnails in my MMS messages.
Hi,
I have a Samsung Vibrant. As I'm in Australia, I was playing around trying to connect to another frequency via *#*#4636#*#* > Phone information. I set it to AUS and backed out (pretty sure that's all I did). Then I couldn't send any texts .... at all. Failed.
I switched back to Automatic frequency - no difference....
I have re-falshed the OS with Odin, both with the most recent 2.1 release and also with one that is supplied on the xda post "OFFICIAL T-Mo Vibrant JFD ODIN/Nandroid Backup Images" (I'm not allowed to post links) (I've still got this one installed right now). Both made absolutely no difference.
I deleted all user data... no difference.
Now I have a stock phone entirely, that will not send any text messages.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Andrew
I've noticed that SMSC is blank - I tried to set it to the right number: +61411990001, but it just returns 'update error'. So I tried 0411990001. It didn't 'do' anything, but didn't return an error. It disappeared when I backed out and came back in. it didn't fix the problem.
Is there a trick to updating the SMSC that I've missed? It seems likely to be the error??
there is also no information in 'Your Phone number', and I recall that the default way to access voicemail never worked because of 'no voicemail number on the sim card'...... does this all add up to my sim card not having the correct default information? Is there a way to fix this?
....help

Here are a few tips:
1 in mobile settings click apn and make sure there is a green circle on thee right of the name for your apn. If not just tap on the circle once and out should turn green.
2 in mobile settings, click automatic network discovery then try step 1 again
3 open mms app, press menu and go to settings. Make sure auto retrieve is checked.
Let me know if this works or not.

@crazy25000: Thanks heaps, that led me in the right direction to correct the texting issue. I had no apn at all - no options and had to add it manually. I'm not sure that it worked, but perhaps. I did get to the right settings menu to fix the smsc number though, which is great.
I still feel like my sim card is not quite right - there seems to be no default data for the carrier on the sim.
Immediate problem solved though. thanks again.
i have done the same thing while fiddling with my vibrant. sms wont send because the gateway # is blank . what i did was pop it in a friends iphone and type **5005*7672*61411990001#
(61411990001 is optus smsc # yours may be different)
then i put it back in my vibrant and viola!
altho i still cant send or recieve mms..

Glad to great it's slowly getting resolved. If you don't have an apn, click on automatic network discovery in mobile settings and it will automatically generate the correct apn for your carrier. Keep me posted because this it's relatively easy to resolve so don't stress
