Can't get MMS to work

I've had my 4350 for a week now and love it. I had a Dash earlier and just got tired of the volume/jogger issue. I also have a wizard, to which this phone is just a huge improvement over. However, I'm having an issue getting MMS to work on the Tmobile network. I've contacted Tmobile and spoke with their level 3 techs and they weren't able to make it work either. It connects to the network, but for some reason will not actually download or upload any data! Anyone else having that problem, or is there anyone with Tmobile that actually has their MMS working? Sometimes there are disadvantages to the being the first kid on the block to get a device!

Hey i´ve got it working with the Configuration of a .cab File :

Go and have a try, i don`t know if this is German only...

The tricky part is that you have to create a separate MMS dialup-settings using you mobile carrier data provided, including the Proxy settings.
Then I had to look up the instruction that went with the device and it had a screenshot of what setting had to be entered in the MMS settings. Man, I was ready to kick the s**t out this gadget trying to make it sending MMS.

Optus MMS issue

I have been enjoying my HD2 for yonks now but I am plagued by a problem whereby I cannot send or received MMS messages.
I also had a problem with replying to SMS messages but this was fixed when I installed Vito SMS Chat... sent and replied to a couple of SMS's using SMS Chat then unistalled it and all is good!
Now back to my current problem.....cannot send MMS messages on Optus 3G. I spoke to Optus and was informed MMS messaging is not supported on the HD2 for at least 6 months due to some deal Telstra has with HTC?? What the!?!?!?
I have searched and searched but found nothing that helps on any forum so I am hopeful some here can assist me!?!?!
I have checked and rechecked settings and they all seem correct.
Cheers.....
PS: I have cooked my ROM to one of the scotsman's OZ Roms and love it!!

I am with TPG which use OPTUS 3G lines and i am able to send MMS without any issues at all.
All optus need to do is to activate MMS on your sim card once its activated it should work.
My sim card was already activated before i changed to the HD2 but i dont/havent had a problem yet.
PS. I would change to TPG its a hell of alot cheaper but still uses OPTUS's network (if your on a contract then i feel for you).

I am with PennyTel and they use Optus too.... their customer service is very poor but the call rates are amazing cheap!! Like 0.08c per call to the States untimed! Hard to beat that.... but the downside is poor customer service!
I will try to contact their customer service today to check that my MMS service is active!

some of the mms settings with the connections wizard are incorrect.
I have to change mine everytime I flash a new rom.
I don't have them here but if you search you can find the correct settings and fix them manually.
You could check if mms is enabled by putting the card in another phone.

Hey lakeman,
I have searched for settings and everything I find is the same as in my phone. Appreciate you providing your settings when you get the chance so I can compare....
Mmmmm....didn't think to try sim in another phone... will do this tonite as a test!

Not that it helps you much but I've been using my HD2 on Optus since I got it late last year.
I have never had problems with sending or receiving SMS or MMS...
I'm also using the default settings that are in the startup wizard after flashing

ok
4 things I have found(though I use Virgin settings)
1.you sometimes have to send yourself an mms to activate it
2.for the server in connections, the connection wizard put a space between virgin and MMS
3. the port should be 9201 rather than 8070
4. the wap version should be WAP1.2.
again these are the things that I had to change to work for me
I have used some roms occasionally that worked straight up
At least this could be a starting point for you to troubleshoot
cheers

hi [email protected]
Im with Optus too.. I had issues the first few times I've received MMS.... everytime I went to download the MMS, it'd give me an error and tell me that the file doesnt exist (or something along those lines).
I tried redo-ing all the settings extra with the wizard and couldnt get it to work..
One day, I unexpectedly received an MMS and I was able to reply back with a MMS... it hasn't died on me so far -
And I didnt do anything other than flashings a different different ROM or two and different radios, so i'm guessing that's what might've fixed it.
Anyway, if you're after the actual Optus settings to compare (it seems to be different for the resellers like Virgin, etc even though they run on the same network):
Server Name: Optus MMS
IP Adress: 61.88.190.10
Port Number: 8070
Server Aaddress: http://mmsc.optus.com.au:8002/
Connect via: Optus MMS Settings
Messages Size Limit: 300kb
WAP Version:2.
All the settings above were automaticallyconfigured using the Connection WIzard.
Hope this helps! :

Thanks lakeman and bobbified,
Tried your suggestions to no avail!
I have a call in with my provider to investigate and they advised my problem is being escalated.....I hope!
I guess I'll have to wait til next week now as it is Saturday!
Cheers....

Cannot send or receive MMS [tmobile]

I use Tmobile. Before i bought the Touch Pro 2, i owned a Nokia Supernova. I randomly lost the ability to send and receive picture messages. Since i was planning on buying a new phone anyway, i figured the problem will just be fixed when i do that.
It has been a couple months now with my HTC and the thought had completely left my mind until this week when various MMS messages needed to be sent and received and it was not happening. I then remembered the problem and realized that a new phone has not fixed the problem.
I have googled the problem and i have found it is common, however, everyone's experience with tech support has been the same "Hard Reset the device"
1. i doubt that will fix the problem since i have flashed 2 roms since i got the phone. Energyrom with CHT. The first just being an early build than the second.
2. the ONLY "solution" that i did find, did not work for me. [http://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/T-Mobile-Touch-Pro2/Can-t-Send-MMS-messages-HELP/m-p/268108]
And so as a last resort, i have come here to ask for some help.
Other than the 21 steps found in the above link, i have also tried the "Automatically Configure Connection" option on my device.
Thank you in advance.

Been having the same problem since my Tmo usa touch pro 2 and now the problem is back on my hd2. Tmo is not doing anything about this problem and its really pissing me the hell off man.

my sms/mms work fine on my unlocked tilt, even work on my nokia 6510. OP, ahve you contacted them and let them know about the issue?
I have used what is in that link for my old htc wizard, and now tilt. Worked great. Are you using the stock ROM or custom? I might recommend running a custom ROM and/or downloading the "connection setting" wizard.

hi. i have unlocked x10 and not been able to send or receive either. hard reset nothing. checked apn settings but nothing. with o2 and was advised that my sim card was 4 years old and only 2g. aparently i need a 3g sim card and he thinks this will work. have to wait 3 days for it. but strangely my previous phone was sony satio which was also a 3g but worked fine. but this is not uncommon aparently. so hopefully new 3g sim card will work. hope this will be helpful.

I have a touch pro 2 as well and under connection there should be a seperate tmobile connect that says tmobilee mms make sure everything in there is configured correctly,

I'm on prepaid, so I'm not sure if it's the same for those on contract.
One setting I found I needed to change to get MMS to work correctly (besides the obvious), is to change the WAP Version to 1.2....

i think it would help my situation (as well as others who are looking) if you would please post your settings under the T-Mobile MMS selection. because i have no idea if it is configured correctly.

What about for imagio
I am having similar problems, I have an imago and cant find out how to get mms, everytime i send a message it gets stuck in my outbox and received messages are blank, anyone know how to fix this, also i cant find the apn screen anywhere

Did you checked if your APN settings were still ok ?
After me flashing my phone i couldnt send/recieve mms either, Checked my APN settings, and they were not configured anymore. Went to the site of Vodafone and there it said which data i had to enter.

Unable to recieve sms picture

I am just wondering on your opinion of what could be the cause of not getting an SMS picture someone sent me. In my last phones I would get a bunch of garbled text so at least I know it attempted to receive it.
I am able to send out SMS pictures and the same person is able to receive them.
suggestions?

Is your friend with a different network provider?
I have a similar issue, that a friend of mine with a different provider cant send me pic messages. They send, but i never get them.

I am with bell and they are with telus

hah, what a coincidence. exactly the same situation here.
i was able to receive pic messages from this same person with my 2 previous bell phones, but the sgs is the first one on the 'new' network, with the sim card and all.
tried it with 2 other people, one (on rogers, with an iphone 3g) couldn't send me a pic, another (also on rogers, but with a blackberry) was able to send me a pic.
telus = rogers
thats gotta be the difference. still unsure as to how to fix the situation though.....its extremely frustrating.

same situation... called tech support, they arent any help. I can send pics to my friend on Tmobile USA from Bell, but I dont get their pics on my vibrant . They have a vibrant as well so it should be working. Gotta be the networks fault.

yeah, i can get pics from a friend on koodo. that person is acting like a pic forwarder now hahaha....and i can send pics to the telus friend too.
anyone found any other info on the web about this? it cant be all that uncommon....?

I can't help, but I can add that I too have had problems receiving SMS messages from someone on a different network. In my case it's from a Fido iPhone user, while I too am with Bell Canada. The Bell rep I spoke to was able to send me a lovely picture of his keyboard without any problems.

Isn't fido part of rogers too? Maybe its a general rogers >> bell thing....
Is this just with the galaxy? Or have you had it work (gotten pictures from that particular contact) with previous phones?
What i cant figure out is that if the problem is with the network itself, shouldn't there be relatively easily-found reports of it elsewhere? I can find no such reports.....

Surfed the internet, and tried a whole bunch of different settings again, and still no dice. Still works from Koodo, but nothing from any rogers variant.
Highly ticked. Probably give bell a call monday, see what they say.

I was able to receive pictures on my old phone (Moto Razr2) although the last time was quite a while back (over a year). Perhaps Rogers changed something in the interim that broke it. Unfortunately I haven't anyone to further test this with.

[Q] MMS settings on Walmart Family Mobile

Hey all,
I recently bought a Nexus 4 to use on Walmart Family Mobile (MVNO of T-Mobile), and I can't seem to get MMS working. I've used their official MMS settings (unlinkable since I'm new -- but on myfamilymobile's website) with no luck. I've tried their customer service several times and got the runaround every single time ("there's nothing we can do", "go talk to LG").
My previous phone was an Exhibit II locked to T-Mobile. I never bothered unlocking because calling and SMS worked just fine with WFM being an MVNO, but I just accepted I wouldn't have MMS because the phone was technically locked to a different carrier. With the Nexus 4 being truly unlocked, I sort of expected it to work.
Has anyone had any luck with WFM as far as MMS goes? Could it be a problem with my SIM?
Thanks!
EDIT: Tried Tweakker from the Play Store -- no help
