Xperia MMS fix???

hello,
I need help resolving the issue with the MMS on they xperia ( pictures show up as only fraction of the size). I have researched around and haven't found anything. i even contacted my carrier ( Tmobile) and all they had for me was a " We don't officially support that device". I have an X1a and Tmobile and SE R2A rom if that helps at all.
Thanks

download this.. and NEVER lose it.
i've used the same CAB to fix this issue for 3 years on all of my WM devices. haha.
install it.. then make sure you go in and change the MMS settings (photo resolution, then in the servers tab, change the send limit to 300, and wap to 2.0)
and any other settings you might want changed.

bro may the easter bunny drop GOLDEN eggs infront of your house, thanks a lot....

First post here. Thank you Clubx1 for asking the question, and thank you ibeQuint for answering. Purchased an X1 for my wife and she was having the same issue. Thanks again.

title of cab says tmo,
i never checked but, if affected, does it work for at&t aswell?

ibeQuint... i am unable to download from rapidshare... can you please upload on megaupload or zshare and post a link...

Here is the cab... not tried it yet and so not sure if it works on any apart from TMo... it should but dont take my word for it...

hi do they do a fix for o2?

I take you are using a generic ROM? My mms was fine when I was on the original O2 ROM, but then when I upgraded and went generic my mms pics were tiny. Turns out that is because operators put in custom mms settings in the registry, otherwise it gets default mms settings that are years old, hence the tiny pictures.
It's quite an easy fix, have a look at post 14 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=441428&highlight=picture&page=2

Im so confused!

Ok, heres my problem. I have a Verizon XV6900. I am currently on a local CDMA carrier. How can I get my HTC to work on my network, my network excepts outside phones so I know they will do it. Ive read about the Coke unlocker but I am confsued. Does the unlocker make it so you can use the phone on any CDMA network or just so you can put custom ROMs to it? Thank you very much, ive done alot of reading but I just need some clarification. Thanks.

The coke unlocker is so you can install new/different ROMs on you device. What you really want to do is a full flash to your carrier. Who is your carrier? I might have some good pointers or even a tutorial I can point you too.

I have a local carrier called cellcom, theyre a local CDMA company.

I did a quick search and it seems like there is some sort of cellcom rom or something out there for the Vogue, so if you can find that, you shouldn't have an issue. I couldn't point you in the direction of that though, didn't find a download of any sort, just some random info.

Well that's a new one to me! But any way to flash over to them from Verizon you will need to gather some basic information like:
PRL files
MNC #
SID/NID #
activation number.
To get your web MMS working you will need to know other setting like HDr/ppp username and passwords. server names ports proxys, etc. Those you might need to get from cellcom.
There is alot of info that you can pull from a current handset if you have one and some that you will need to ask them for.
Here is a LINK for a tutorial I wrote for flashing the Vogue to cricket just replace all the cricket info with the cellcom info. If you have a question on the tutorial post it in that thread. I monitor it better then here.

From what ive read I can use an alltlell rom and it would work. Could someone tell me how to go about this so cellcom can activate it because I dont have any codes or anything. Thanks.

You can put an alltel ROM on it but you will still need some of the setting I mentioned above unless they are an alltel MVNO which would technically make them a Verizon MVNO now. But anyway here is a LINK to all the shipped ROMs for the Vogue I would start there with a shipped and then upgrade after you have it activated.
Be sure to unlock with coke unlocker first and follow all the instructions.

Well I previously had a razor that was from US Cellular and that worked fine and was activated perfectly but I read in my research that someone had a US Cellular Vogue and it wouldnt activate with cellcom. Is there a way I can just get the unlock code and then have them activate it without messing with the ROMs?

The easiest way to do it find out the PRL & activation code for the OTASP and see if it will program the PST automatically. If it will OTASP successfully you will have at least talk and text.
and it won't touch the ROM.
Your unlock code for a Verizon device will be 000000. F.Y.I.

Could you explain to me how to do that? Im sorry but im a complete newb.

The PRL file is going to be the hard part, I did a quick search and came up empty handed.
For the OTASP I would say call your carrier and ask for it. Most carriers are like *228, *2, *22804, etc, etc.
If you find out the important info I can tell you how to use it.

This site will give you a little bit of intell on PRL's SIDs MNC's and different info you will need. http://www.roamingzone.com/

Ok, I used the service menu and pulled some info out of my rumor. I have the PPPID, PPP Pass, SID, NID, and PRL. I guess the only thing im missing is the MNC and the OTASP number. Im gonna call cellcom in the morning for the OTASP number but does anyone know where I can find the MNC.

Pulled it from my last posted link
here it is Cellcom MNC 600
Now on your PRL you will need the file if you don't have it post your PRL number here and I'll see if I can help you locate it.

My PRL number is 10010. But I guess cellcom doesnt do over the air activation, I called and asked them, so whats my next step? I really really appreciate all the help your giving me on this. Its nice to find an online community that is actually helpful.

Well so now you will need to manually program it with all your gathered information. To do so you are going to access the PST program by dialing ##778# or ##778snd then it will bring up another window click on edit enter 6 0's. Frfom there find all the info that you will need to replace and replace it. As for a PRL file it is a scarce creature for cellcom. I would recommend asking them if they might be able to refer you to where to get it.

try this one it works for me!!!
I have got HTC P3050 (TELUS) I have got a procedure to unlock SPRINT TOUCH but anyone can tll me that it will work for TELUS TOUCH i want to use it in India it may be any network
here is the procedure:
I did this for my Sprint Touch. I am still using it in the USA but my phone has been modified to support other carriers with no problem.
The steps are simple:
Here is what you need to do:
1. Download GetSPC(attached below)
2. Unzip to desktop
3. Turn off phone and remove battery.
4. Write down your HEX ESN
5. Power your device back on
6. Connect via ActiveSync or WMDC
7. Copy entire folder to main memory on device.
8. Run GetSPC.exe
9. In the top box type in your HEX ESN(make sure caps is on)
10. Click generate or whatever the button is named
11. The resulting number should be a 6 digit number, your MSL, write it down.
12. Search for, download and install Qualcomm's QPST tool.(not freeware)
THE FOLLOWING STEPS ARE VERY DANGEROUS SO MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW MY DIRECTIONS EXACTLY.
13. Run QPST Configuration(run as admin if Vista)
14. From the Dialpad, dial ##3424#(##diag#)
15. Connect device to computer via USB(this will install drivers)
16. In QPST Configuration, click ports.
17. Continue to add ports until the QPST Configuration detects your phone
18. Under active phones it should display your phone.
19. Click Start Clients/Service Programming
20. Select phone and click ok.
DO NOT LEAVE FIRST TAB, THE SETTINGS TAB. THIS IS THE ONLY TAB WE WILL NEED TO CHANGE ANY SETTINGS
21. Under the settings tab, click Read from phone.
22. Input your MSL you got from GetSPC earlier.
23. Under codes where it says Service Programming, change this to 000000
24. Click Write to Phone
25. Wait 1 minute
26. Close Qualcomm QPST one window at a time.
27. Disconnect the USB cable from your device
28. Perform Soft reset once
29. Test new MSL(##000000#)
30. If new code does not go through, hard reset.
31. Depending on what device you have, follow the necessary steps to unlock your phone so you can flash a new ROM to it.
32. Install OEM ROM from carrier of choice or build your own custom ROM using the new carrier's information.
33. Follow instructions to flash new OS to device.
34. Call service provider and do some sweet talking to get them to activate the phone on their network. You may need to do some serious sweet talking because Sprint ESNs are not in Verizon's database and vice versa. This goes for all CDMA carriers.
Good luck.
just get the PRL & MDN FROM YOUR NEW CARRIER AND CHANGE IT USING QUALCOMM
IF U GOT CONFUSION JUST REPLY ME
ALSO I DONT OFTEN VISIT COMP.. SO JUST WAIT 4 MY REPLY I WILL DEFINETELY REPLY YOU
GOOD LUCK
ALSO HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Try using ##778# with no snd. Then you should have the new window pop up.

if u dont get a prl just try to connect any of phones running on cellcomm and then read PRL from that phone using QUALCOMM
also if u want to start it to cellcomm then just go there and fill up the forms and tell them to enter your ESN on their network now just install TELUS WM 6.1 ROM and then dial *228 it will automatically download all the PRL,MDN and change all other information
then flash any ROMS you like i basically like NFS FAN V17 ROM
ALSO U SHOULD PROBABLY DIAL ##778# IT WILL OPEN EPST TOOL THEN U WILL NOT HEAR THE RECORDING!!!!!
IF ANY PBL REPLY ME !!!!!!!
WELL HAPPY NEW YEAR

Microsoft abandoned open market WP7 phones...

I'm really pissed off with Microsoft...They have totally abandoned open market phones...First, we had a major error with Mango update that made some people to flash a new official rom in order to get that update. I never got a tethering update for my open LG and now I don't even get the latest official 7740 update. I don't f$%^ care about carriers. I bought an officially OPEN device and I demand support, or else they can stop selling us illusions...

Sorry to hear that...
I purchased an open market phone from Amazon (US) and have been it on AT&T. It's the LG E900. Recently, I got the Mango update, and the firmware update for tethering and hidden ssid's. Everything working great!
In the US. I got a Vodaphone Germany.

Vodafone Germany ≠ Open Market.
I'm also pissed of, I bought an open market device, because I wanted updates asap and now we have to wait longer?!

I have thought, that Zune checks phone status: if phone has update notification, Zune will find update immidiately.
So, if we hack phone for update notification, Zune will deliver update to us.
Anyway, it pisses me off, open market phones recieve updates after branded phones.
P.S: Vodafone > Open Market
Added: I got strange thing after setting empty all 3 registry keys: on creation of relationship Zune tells, that I must not disconnect or use phone while update, but still no update!

Getting the update is not equal to getting access to hidden WiFis and Internet Sharing. I've been through all 3 firmwares available to me (German OPN, European OPN, and Vodafone Germany), and I know that at least the German OPN receives a post Mango update called "LG Update". But after applying it you still don't have Internet Sharing and access to hidden WiFis.
I was so sick of this that I eventually flashed the Vodafone firmware to have a Mango phone as Microsoft specc'ed it. Unfortunately now I'm missing out on "Kundencenter" and "NAVIGON select" in the German Marketplace. I hope they will appear sometime in the future. I know I had them while using the Euro OPN firmware with my Telekom.de SIM.
To be honest, I totally hate the way these updates are run. And that Microsoft's support is playing the finger pointing game ("LG is free to disable features in the phone. Complain to them")

Right after Mango I recieved LG update too, but it was far before news about update with hidden wi-fi and internet sharing.
My firmware cycle is Singtel Singapore firmware, Vodafone Germany firmware and Europe Open firmware.
On this forum I saw 1 post about successfull update with open firmware (firmware version became 1.1.4.10) so now I am in search for latest EU OPEN firmware with those features. I lost any hope to recieve update normal way, so I gonna reflash my Optimus 7 again instead of hopeless using of "Update" button in Zune.

I'm not sure this is entirely fair. I the firmware update is for E-900 devices, NOT E-900h (the North American version).

If you have the Mango Update, i.e. 7720, and you don't have Internet sharing, just developer unlock your phone and it should show up.
That's all I had to do to mine, granted mine is Vodafone branded on AT&T, but they seem to play nice.

It didn't work for me.
Developer unlock does nothing without updated driver for wi-fi, which I can't recieve.

AT&T US - E900 - all mango updates hidden SSD, internet sharing
like I said earlier, I have the kg e900 from Vodafone Germany (bought on amazon us) and I have mango with hidden said support and internet sharing at&t us. I received mango when Microsoft rolled out the last update to remaining phones. Also had mfg menu to set to at&t 3G. Never been happier!

I wait for 2 or 3 more days and then I will also flash a Vodafone ROM :/
What a weird world, where a carrier ROM is superior to the OPN ROMs.

I guess that in the US, most of the people use carrier contracts because they are ultra cheap, but I don't think this is the rule with the rest of the world. It seems that Microsoft has initially organized WP7 support around what US needs.
Generally speaking, Microsoft has "forced me too" to flash my e900 devices with Vodafone ROMs in order to get the updates. If second generation open market WP7 devices have the same (open market device specific) restrictions with the updates, I won't buy a WP7 again.

I have an OPN Phone too but no one can say me if i will get the Update.
But i read on Pocketpc.ch that OPN Phones get teh Update with Mango, but the Option is disabled.
I checked MFG Menü but find no option to activate IS, can anybody of you take a look to MFG ?
EDIT I Found out something strange: I installed Supreme Shortcuts from here. And Activatet IS, i get an tile to my homescreen and can get in the IS Menue but by activating i get an erorr message. I take some Screenshots.

...for what update are you talking about? Tethering or the latest official?
Tethering and Hidden WiFi can't be turned on inside MFG. I have looked at it many times.
Microsoft says that carriers are rensponsible for tethering in branded phones. They almost didn't say what happens with open market phones but I found out that, Microsoft has thrown the responsibility to phone companies...who don't care about open devices too.
The latest post mango update has yet to appear to open devices...

@ Muvolt i talked about the Internet Sharing update.
Yes sure i asked first LG, they told me i should ask MS, they told me i should ask my carrier and the sayed i should ask MS.
Can you say something to the screenshots above?

Probably, you are trying to toggle tethering via that shortcut app, but tethering hasn't been enabled in the firmware, so you get that error.

That's nice for you, you but your phone isn't an open market phone, it's Vodafone branded.
I don't think Microsoft is to blame for this missing wifi-driver update, it's LG's choise to support only branded phones.
The 7740 update came from MS and it was rolled out to all phones.

ATIV SE

I broke my interop unlocked Ativ S. Instead of buying a new one I bought the Ativ SE from Amazon without a contract. I've read every post with "ATIV SE" in it and searched the forum for hours looking to see if any progress has been made with the ATIV SE.
The phone came unlocked, however I can not receive MMS messages or turn on internet sharing with out using a friends Verizon sim card. I have T-Mobile service which is the source of my issues.
Fiddler works to install most other manufacture APPs. I did a stupid thing though and upgraded the phone to windows 8.1 because of Cortana. The Nokia Access point will not install.
Is there anything that can be done with the ATIV SE yet? A lot of post say "all Samsung devices" but pre-date the Ativ SE's release. I've contacted Microsoft, Verizon, T-Mobile, and Samsung trying to figure out the issue or get the phone flashed with a generic ROM but support only wants to point fingers at other companies and rush me off the phone.
Any information is welcome. I've tried customizing the APN settings every way I could and had T-Mobile resend correct setting countless times and still nothing. Verizon did something with the ROM to make it miserable to use on another carrier. I can get the diagnostic app to install but it seems like codes have changed from the Ativ S.
I spent hours trying to get the correct LTE settings for T-Mobile and 6 weeks of frustration makes me want to go buy another Ativ S.

I can't recommend anything besides wait awhile. No work has been done on the device as its specifically manufactured for Verizon.
I would attempt to call Samsung. Say you got an update from Verizon and the spinning gears won't stop spinning after 5 hours. I've heard that Samsung has offered onetime flashing, but I don't remember where.
Once you get a GDR3 version of the phone, try editing stuff inside diagnosis or APNs.

Did you ever get your problem solved with the MMS or internet sharing? Im in the same situation.
Any help is much appreaciated.

Have the mms and Internet Sharing ever been solved for the Ativ SE for WP8 and Official WP8.1? I would like to buy one to use for at&t if it is.

I've been trolling the forums for months off and on. So far there's been progress but after FINALLY being able to roll the device back to WP 8.0 GDR3 and upgrading to the "real" WP 8.1 it looks like Verizon has made things much more difficult. The APN settings are locked and hidden. I was able to get LTE data working again, but MMS and Internet sharing is FUBARed.
Maybe I can't follow directions, but it seems like every way to edit the registry has been patched after upgrading to Verizon's version of the OS.
Root Tool is available in the APP Store, but I can't get it to function.
The Registry Key information that needs editing is readily available on the forum, but I haven't found a functioning method to do so.
If anyone has been able to successfully edit the Registry on an ATIV SE please provide the info on how you did it!

I have no idea how to use the MBN creator either.
What I have figured out is:
1) Able to flash device back to stock
2) Side load unsigned developer apps
3) Find necessary lines in Registry to edit
If anyone has a modded image that works with WP8_Binary_Downloader_Ver._3.54.exe, or can help me put the last pieces of the puzzle together, that would be awesome!

So you're saying you were able to edit the APN for MMS on WP8 and it still didnt work but now with the official real WP8.1, the APN for MMS are hidden and can't even be edit anymore? Man that really sucks! I really like the phone too. Have you tried these

Yes. The Windows Insider APP was updated, so it closed that method of registry editing and Couldn't manage to get write access enabled for CustomPFD. If I could edit the registry the phone would be perfect.

Ok that make sense. So can you sent MMS still? I'm very close to buying this phone for at&t but without MMS and Internet Sharing, I might not, unless you or someone gets it solved. I wish I was a developer.

I tried it again for ****s and Giggles. I got tethering to work!
Am going to play with MMS next

Awesome job man! Keep it rolling. You just made me one more time closer to getting this phone ? Remember to write everything down ?

Root Tool works perfectly fine for me on an Ativ SE with 8.1.1. Unblock RPC by placing the txt file in the Documents folder, unlock your phone with WPPT, deploy the WPSystem unlocker xap, patch Root Tool using the provided instructions and a file explorer (I use Pocket File Manager, I've used others successfully as well), and then once you open the newly-patched Root Tool go to the install xap section, press install (without setting anything up), and it should say failed, but that's fine. Then you can use the included registry editors (the regular one and the Samsung-specific one) with dword and string values. Works fine for me, including interop unlock (but some deploy attempts result in capability errors because of the new security measures). Bootstrap works but not enableallsideloading (including the 2 versions posted later in the thread). All aesthetic changes work perfectly (small font/large screen, 5 action buttons, change model number, accent colors, etc). You can do pretty much anything you can do with an Ativ S, just remember you're slightly stifled by GDR3 and/or 8.1/8.1.1. Let me know if you have any questions or need help. With the small font/5 action button setup and the newest firmware, it's easily the best WP experience currently available. If we can figure out how to rotate the display 180 degrees, we can just enable the navigation bar (which works fine on the SE) and we'll not only have the usb port on top, but we'll also have access to 3 other buttons that can be remapped via the registry.
@tonbonz posted some info regarding using the SE with mbn creator:

I haven't attempted anything with this information yet, but I may later this week (possibly tonight), and I'll be sure to report the results when I do.
I'll be posting any info I get to this thread, so keep an eye on it:

Also, in regards to the potential issue of new updates breaking exploits, I've found an update lineage that results in the latest OS (8.1.1, OTA) with the stock/GDR3 FW (including the gdr3 diagnosis app, which is different from the 8.1 version). That isn't necessary yet, but it may be in the future and we can always flash back to gdr3 to get there.

Hey G.moe, thanks for the info, so is your MMS & Internet Sharing working with your ATIV SE then?

I managed to get my Internet sharing and MMS working, except I when I recieve an MMS it says file no longer available on server. I think I missed a setting somewhere.
does anyone have any idea where to directly edit the MMS settings in the registry?

That's good to hear man! You're getting there. Your progress is making me a day closer to buying this phone ;D I hope G.Moe can help you out.

GTF696, any luck on the MMS working yet?

Hi. I am using Ativ SE in India, everything is fine but for data i am getting only 2g speeds
I can even launch field test, looks like its blocked
Kindly help me

I just recently purchased an Ativ SE for use on T-Mobile. Like many of you I have been scouring the web for the best solution for the MMS fix as well so it gives me hope to know that through the registry editing it seems you've made some significant headway GTF696. From what I've been coming across this does seem like the most likely way to get this going especially since Verizon has already been duped in this on other devices like the Lumia Icon. Also I've come across a few post that mention having solved the issue and want to know if any one can confirm the method. I'm a new user so I can't post link but if you search "[Q&A] [Research and Reference] Samsung ATIV SE (SM-W750V) – Research and Development Apktop" in google the first link is from someone saying their method on how they setup the registry to workaround the MMS issue. Hope this is actually helpful and useful for all of us and gets us a step closer to fixing this issue

it's not perfect but the ATIV SE, after registration editing, does 100% work on T-Mobile. Unfortunately Verizon had Samsung heavily modify the OS and remove features that allow for APN Modification. The Methods I used should work with any GSM carrier however what you specifically need to do will be carrier specific. If you search for ATIV SE on the forum you should be able to find everything needed. Unfortunately, while the ATIV SE is one of the best windows phones available it's under valued, under supported, and Verizon made it a pain in the ass to use unless it's on their network. I wouldn't recommend this device to anyone, not even Verizon customers, for that reason.
The general idea of what I did was wipe the phone phone, Flashed the original Rom, upgraded the device Over the Air, and then installed the registry editor and customized a few strings. All of which has been talked about in detail on other posts. You HAVE to have an SD card.

TicWatch Pro 3 LTE and eSIM

Please, give me an advice.
I bought a TicWatch Pro 3 LTE.
I've received eSIM from my operator (T-Mobile).
I would like to import it into my watch.
But in the Mobvoi application on the phone I do not see the option "Communication settings", "Scan eSIM QR code", etc ...
And on the same network (T-Mobile Czech) with a similar eSIM.
I'm sure it worked on the older model (Ticwatch Pro 4G / LTE), see attached pictures.
There used to be an option "Scan QR" and the possibility to choose "Other" operator. Now it's gone.
It just looks like the current version of the Mobvoi application has lost this option (?!).
How should I proceed? Will it help to install some other APP? Which one and from what source?
Thanks!

In current Mobvoi app on my smartphone, there is no option to install the eSIM :-(
So how can I make it work?

I'm searching for the same solution. Unfortunately there are no feedbacks from Mobvoi about it.
Maybe they will release a new app version that will unlock this feature that was already available on previous models.

There is no visible option. I think the same, they will enable this feature to this new model. Right now the app seems to "detect" our LTE version like a PRO 3 GPS without eSIM support.

hi the story behind the scenes:
Mobvoi has launched the ticwatch 3 LTE exclusively in cooperation with vodafone.
Unfortunately right now there is no chance to use it with e.g. an T-Mobile e-SIM. (i do have the TW 3 LTE and also an T-Mobile DE Contract)
After launch of the Ticwatch Pro 4G it was the same thing...weeks later they opened the esim functionaltiy for the other providers.
The option "Scan E-SIM QR CODE" is only visible in the mobvoi app when the smartphone is logged in in a vodafone network.

That's a bummer, they need to make the e-sim available to T-Mobile and other carriers...

I have moved all of my development efforts away from XDA.

Ok so I managed to get this sussed out and got it working on EE (UK network.)
The way is actually quite simple - I have a dual SIM phone (note 20 ultra) and one of those SIMs is indeed Vodafone.
I did the following:
1. Switch my primary SIM to Vodafone (could achieve the same thing by just inserting a vodafone sim temporarily.)
2. Force close and relaunch Wear OS app on phone
3. Using newly available "Add a Vodafone SIM to your watch" (or similar) option in Wear OS I selected to Scan a QR code - then just scanned the QR code for the EE SIM (it kept calling it Vodafone in the WearOS app but I completely ignored that and added it anyway.)
4. Restart watch
5. If you get the same result I did - success! You are now connected to whatever network you want.
6. Switch back to your normal SIM on your phone and the watch will remain connected to whatever network you scanned the QR code for.
Really hope this helps someone else!

My case is very similar. I'll try it when I get an eSIM card.
Thanks a lot for your explanation!

Sounds great!
Is there a chance to order the needed(vodafone) SIM via internet with international delivery (to Czech Rep.)? Do they have a prepaid (burner) card?
Or could you give me detailed instructions how, where and what to buy? I'd ask someone I know in UK and she will send me the SIM in a letter.
But: will it work in roaming? I mean: if I obtain the Vodafone UK SIM and if I insert it into my dualSIM phone here in Czech Rep, would I be able to scan the eSIM QR code and install it into my watches?

Si, he probado con O2 y funcionan las llamadas, tal como se indica anteriormente, pero hay que hacerlo con la sim principal sobre todo y funciona bien
Mod translation
Yes, I have tried with O2 and calls work as above, but you have to do it with the main sim mostly and it works fine

Thats awesome news! Did you manage to get number sharing working between the devices?

I just ordered a pay as you go sim from vodafone (for free from their website) after reading this! This is great news! Have you managed to share your number between your phone and your watch?

I dont know if you've tried, but I just ordered my ee paired esim. Should arrive in the next couple of date. I'll let you know if number sharing works.

Waiting for my Voda pre-paid SIM, and going to order soon the esim watch too from Mobvoi, just waiting to receive the 200 Mobvoi-dollars off coupon (means 280€ off the purchase price) to buy the watch. Esim card will come from T-mobile Hungary.
