I can't say for certain how long I've been having this issue because I don't use it that often but here is what I do know.
Sending and receiving MMS used to work fine (last time was several months ago with the stock Cingular 2.25 ROM).
About a month ago I backed up my phone with SPBBackup, unlocked my phone, and ultimately installed the Core 2.0 WM6 ROM. I had a few very small issues with this ROM, but no time to work through fixing them. Soo...
I reinstalled the factory Cingular 2.25 ROM and restored my backup. Things appeared to be functioning properly. During this time I successfully sent out 2 MMS messages (with 2 more messages failing... but that could have been a problem with their phone and not mine). Two days ago someone tries sending me multiple MMS messages and I get nada. No notifications, nothing. I've had two different people try, and nothing came through. When I sent them a message, it goes but they can't open it.
Woohoo, I have some spare time! I load the TMobile 2.26 IPL/SPL, TMobile UK 2.19.11 Radio, and Crossbow Reloaded 1.7. Wonderful, I love this ROM. Kudos to mfrazzz. Wait, what's that? I still can't send or receive MMS? Ok, I load the .cab files to restore the WAP and MMS settings and verify these with what Cingular has listed on their site. Still no worky.
I break down and call Cingular last night. After nearly 20 minutes on hold, the lady verifies that I should indeed be able to send and receive MMS with my plan and I am told I need to go to a store and have them swap out my SIM card to fix it. Grrr!
I now reload the factory Cingular 2.25 ROM and don't restore a backup. MMS still doesn't work. I verify MMS settings... still nothing. I reload the above mentioned .cab files... still nothing.
I'm at my wits end. Does anyone have any suggestions? Voice calls and SMS work fine, it's just MMS. Is there any chance that swapping the SIM will actually do anything?
Phone is a 8125 v3 on Cingular. Currently it is back to all stock 2.25.

something is disabled on your account most likely. Have you changed any features (add/remove) online or over the phone? sometimes these have dependencies or are "upgrades" to existing features and can disable a function that you need. When this situation happened to me it turned out to be that GPRS pay per use was taken off my profile when I added a $4.99/mo MediaNEt feature. Once they re-added that service to my account I was then able to send and receive MMS again.

I updated my Kaiser to Dutty's Dual Touch V3 Final ROM and so far I'm very pleased (slightly more lag than Schap's 4.30 ROM but at least the camera works now flawlessly). Unfortunately I just found out half an hour ago that the SMS/text messaging isn't working. I tried everything, even tried different Radio ROMs (currently working with 1.27.12.17) but nothing helped.
Everything works fine, internet, data connection, everything. Just SMS/text messaging doesn't work, I'm desperate. I don't want to do a hard reset because I already installed most of my applications (took me over 2 hours!) and it would be a pain in the a.. to go through this again.
Any ideas what could be wrong? Does anybody else have the same problem?
I already used the HTC Connection Setup utility (V 1.0) after each and every Radio change and it works (T-Mobile internet works fine) but I still can't send SMS/text messages. Any way to manually enter the SMS/text messaging access number without using the HTC Connection Setup utility?
SMS Service (Settings) is set to "SMS over GPRS preferred", I also tried "GSM preferred" with no result.
Please help! Thanks.
Have you called your carrier to make sure the service is active on the network? Doesn't sound like a ROM issue to me, I'm running Dutty's v3 and SMS works perfectly...
I've just updated to Dutty's v3 rom and text messaging works fine for me too.
I use dutty's roms since the begining, and all of them worked.
I'm actually having this issue with multiple ROMs with my AT&T Tilt. SMS messages worked up until a few weeks ago.
I'm going to have to call support to find out what's going on, since my phone will state that the SMS successfully sent, but they are never received & my data plan shows 0 text messages used...

Actually this is not a "problem" but a registry hack that has been implemented. If you want that feature back, the simplest way would be to run something like Kaiser Tweak to re-enable it, and tweak some other components while you're at it.
i've never flashed a ROM in my life. however, many people say that after you flash a ROM you should do a hard reset, which for whatever reason, tends to work out kinks like that.
no problems here. Man dutty's V3 ROM ROCKS!
^^^^ That is exactly what i do everytime i flash a new rom. Once its done flashing and loading i do a clear storage and then run thru it make sure things work and then load up my programs.
Maybe I should have added that I'm not a newbie.
I did a hard reset before I flashed Dutty's new ROM and I did a hard reset after the flash. Everything works fine, I installed all my programs.
Just found out that SMS receiving works, I assumed this doesn't work either because sending SMS wasn't working.
So there is only ONE problem: SENDING SMS doesn't work.
There is no problem with my provider (T-Mobile Germany), SMS is a standard service with them and doesn't have to be activated.
Anybody having a clue? Why can I receive SMS but not send it? GSM, GPRS, EDGE, UMTS and HSDPA data receiving/sending is working fine.
Oops: I might have an idea why sending SMS may not work, I'll check it out if it fixes my problem, stay tuned. I still appreciate all kind of hints if somebody has the same issue.
My problem was carrier related. They screwed up the features assigned to my phone when my wife upgraded her phone...
Hope you figure out your texting issue.
im having issues recieving MMS messages. Ive loaded the right cab but still cant get it to work. I get "error syncronizing" im using schaps beta rom. Anyone have a clue?
thanks,
Maybe its related to this.

well, i did have prob initially after loading 6.1 but i loaded the MMS cab, from dutty i think and it works fine, i m using Alex's 6.1 try going to the faq on his wiki for 6.1 u will find some help there or download a cab for mms/sms. it should fix it.
I used the WM6.1 from the austinsync link and it works fine without any mods at all. It actually runs great just has the reboot bug. I attached the link link.

Have duttys 6.1 on att. No problems what so ever
Dutty's would load on my phone go thru the customization then reboot and freeze at the HTC screen. So I looked in Austin's post and found one I am happy with. Since it was a "public" beta I didnt want to even bother dutty.

The problem associated with that is you have to flash to a older or new radio. Dutty's Publicly released beta requires the older radio's.
Try running the enablehiddenproxy.cab & make certain the user agent is coorectly set for the HTC-8900, Not TYTNII.
I am having a similar problem with MMS. I can send but cant not recieve. Im using WM6.1 based v3.0 by Sleuth. Anyone find a fix for this yet?
FWIW I just reflashed to the orginal At&T rom and now MMS works just fine. Maybe its a WM6.1 issue

I've had problems with the MMS since I started flashing the phone. Here are my observations, and then where I'm at now.
- stock ATT Rom, I can send and receive fine. I send to myself they show up full size (506kb sent, 506kb received), I send to someone else, if they can accept the 506kb, they get it. I can send to email addresses and it shows up full size.
- Then I started flashing. I've tried 4 dutty's ROMS, 3 Alex ROMs, two Sleuth ROMs, a Schaps ROM, a Q-ROM and now I'm on a UDk ROM. I see the MMS issue going one of two ways.
1- Non-reception of MMS messages at all. The way to cure this is to play with radios. Downgrade it, upgrade it whatever. Often messing with the radio will get the MMS to receive.
2- Reception of MMS but at a greatly reduced size and or clarity. Take my 506Kb from before. Right now, on my UDk Rom, it goes out at 506 K, receives at 5 K. Basically useless. I'm on the 1.64.08.21 Radio.
In case two, I have tried dutty's, schaps, and alex's cabs (IIRC)... I have three cabs on my phone to setup the er... ATT MMS settings. None of them get me to receive at full size.
Also, I've tweaked the registry settings a thousand ways from yesterday- 614400 for all three receive settings, graduated from 204800-614400 and still no dice there either.
Now sometimes, if someone sends me an MMS message below the 300K threshold, I receive it full size. But anything over, resizes from 5Kb to a max of about 120Kb. Just useless to me.
So far, every ROM I've flashed I've had issues with MMS.
I've even tried the enable hidden proxy cab. I'm not sure what GSLEON3 means by the user agent thing though.
Any help would be appreciated, and hopefully my observations help someone else.
ON EDIT:
I figured out what GSLEON3 meant, I think. I went to start/settings/system/about/Device ID
Then I changed "HTC_TYTNII" to "HTC-8900" and I can now receive MMS messages full size.
So, maybe the fix is this:
For no MMS reception or spotty MMS reception, change radio.
For sending/receiving limits, check your Registry settings, and check your Device ID name.
At least, it worked for me, this time on ATT in So Cal.
overland2:
Hunting around the registry, I found the following key:
HKLM\Software\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\mm1\WspHeader\User-Agent
mine was set to:
Vodaphone/1.0/HTC_Kaiser/3.08.161.0
In addition, the key:
HKLM\Software\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\mm1\WspHeader\x-wap-profile
had a value of:
http://www.htcmms.com.tw/voda/kaiser-1.0.xml
This is from the 5.0.31.7 Package Alex has in his kitchen. I cooked this into my ROM based on the 3.02.405.0 WM 6.1 ROM. I can't receive mms either, but I can send. I am using an ATT Tilt on the ATT network.
I suspect these two reg keys need to be corrected...can you check yours?
GSLEON3 - Can you lend some additional assistance? Thanks..
My experiences with MMS on Windows Mobile 6.1 with At&t are as follows:
I am currently using JohanDC's DCS v1.5 WM6.1 with Radio 1.64.06.04 and the "Att Internet n MMS settings.cab" instead of the autoinstalled settings* and I CAN both send and receive what appear to be full sized image mms. (they are not thumbnail sized at least)
I have also tried Sleuth's WM6.1 with both radio 1.64.08.21 (it came bundled) and 1.64.06.04 and the same cab and could send but was unable to recieve. The phone would wake up from a sleep as if it were about to recieve but it would never connect to download nor would it even give any notification.
*edit*
Reg entries:
HKLM\Software\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\mm1\WspHeader\User-Agent
value= HTC-8500/1.2
HKLM\Software\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\mm1\WspHeader\x-wap-profile
value= http://www.arcsoft.com/mobile/UAProf/ArcSoft-MMSUA-PPC-v42.xml
Thank you Zer0.
You may want to consider changing UserAgent to HTC-8900, although I suspect the 8500 is adequate because it is a Hermes. Did you happen to grab that settings cab you use from the Hermes section?
If you could, can I ask that you post the cab you use to set the ATT mms settings, so that I can extract it and look at the reg settings it changes? I want to see if there are other settings we are missing...
Thanks!
Thanks for the ideas on changing the Radio versions. I reloaded WM6.1 based v3.0 by Sleuth. MMS worked for the first try but then like usual i could not receiver them. I loaded up Radio Rom ver. 1.58.26.20. I then soft reset my Tilt and have received 4 MMS's in the last 1/2 hr with no problems. So i hoping this is the fix I've been looking for.
At&t settings cab attached.
OK heres the issue. When I originally went to 6.1 my mms worked great right out of the box on Duttys Rom. Two days later i could no longer recieve mms. I tried reflashing and using connection setup. Still no recieve. I tried reflashing and manually configuring. Still no recieve. I tried reflashing and using a different settings cab each time. I have tried everyone i could find for ATT (5 in all i think). I tried flashing every 6.1 radio just to see if that could have any chance. I reflashed the rom and played with nearly every reg setting that I had any clue what it was for. Still no recieve. If I send a MMS from my wifes phone mine wakes up but it never connects and recieves. I tried flashing every 6.1 rom out there. Only one ever let me recieve. That was the XTRM rom. However it has huge TCPMP issues so i couldnt stay with that one. Has anyone else with this issue actually found a workaround? How many on US ATT have the ability to recieve MMS? Could anyone that does PM me and send me theyre exported registry key for MMS? It has to be some type of issue with the registry causing it not to querry and connect to the server. Sometimes my mms options will say 300k max send but my composer when creating a mms will say 600k. Its almost like theres two different mms programs overlapping one another. Im open to any suggestions at this point.
Confirming MMS issues on ATT network with Tilt.
As previously posted by other users, I can send just fine but I can not receive any messages. Currently using Dutty's 6.1 with 1.64.08.21
Throughout all my flashing experiences, this has changed back and forth. Sometimes I can receive but not send, sometimes send but not receive, sometimes no MMS whatsoever, and on vary rare, vary brief occasions, I can send and receive.
Hello everyone
I have been a fan of all cooks in xda-developers. I must say that I have tried every new Roms available.
One thing that keeps me trying the new roms is, can't receive MMS messages.
I am on AT&T in Atlanta area. I can send and receive sms but I can only send MMS messages.
I have used/ tried every radios too with same result.
Even Hyperdragon's AT&T mms hack didn't work.
I have searched and read all kinds of info on this and called AT&T to see if it was provisioned to receive mms. All the things are ok at the AT&T side.
I would love to solve and receive mms messages in the near future with your help.
Thanks guys in advance
sometimes it's a network issue with att. ive had this problem before. you just need to call att and they should be able to fix it. at least they did when my phone wouldnt send or recieve mms.
Ahh..I did that already with no such luck. Matter of fact , I called them 3 times so far. They told me to bring my phone in to do "sim-swap". As you know I can't do that because of " Cooked Rom" in my AT&T Tilt.
theres a link in the wiki explaining how to revert everything back to warranty settings

You can do a SIM-swap. They don't look at the guts of your OS just to change your SIM card.
Also, if you search the forums, there is a cab file that has all the ATT sms and mms settings in it. I use this when ever im having problems.
Also, are you using the default sms program built into WM or are you using an add on threader program?

Here is a customized ATT Settings cab that ATW and myself created that sets up the ATT settings w/o the proxy.
Mod Edit: Also allows creation mode in your MMS settings.
I had the same problem and tried may cabs posted some worked for a day and then failed again which I do not understand why. Finally I found this and it is working for me for a while. Try and see if it works.
I have tried "shogun_cing mms fix" with Hyperdragon. And still not able to receive mms ...dang.
On to try RR AT&T cab. I ll report back.
Maybe post exactly which rom you are using and post your message in that thread? I've had the exact same problem and have since try an MMS 1st thing after flashing to see if I am going to keep a ROM or not. Most new ROM's work since akaDonny went and found the dependency's needed for Arcsoft MMS.

By the way which rom did you use?
Well, after reading this thread last night I realized it's been quite awhile since I'd sent an MMS. Usually when I receive them, it has me go to www.viewmymessage.com. I don't think much of it because of all the flashing I do to my phone. Turns out after adding my settings, I couldn't send or receive MMS either. I called ATT told them my issue and somehow they fixed it again. I was told to turn my cell off and on 3 times and to wait 15 minutes before sending an MMS so that the data they were sending my SIM would fix it.

Well...just got back from AT&T store to do a sim-swap, jumping jelly fish- it's working now.
I am unsure if the sim-swap did the trick or some of the AT&T setting cabs I tried.
One way to find out is to flash other roms to see if it works.
Just can't understand why changing the sim card works....
they didn't have to swap my sim. i don't understand how they couldn't help you over the phone as well. Anyway, looks like your problem was resolved and that's what matters eh?

I know the shogun cab usually fixes any problems im having with MMS when i flash a new rom.. Is this cab/fix better then the shogun cab.. could you explain the differences?
thanks...
still using schap's 4.30
Just because I don't want to start a new thread, shogun cingular works just fine with receiving mms, though generally 9 times out of ten I never receive or can't play without saving, the AUDIO part of mms' when sent even though everyone elses devices (non htc) play just fine. Very annoying issue as most of the recipients devices; Lg vu's, samsung, blackberry's, and even their ****ty razr's get full playback of video and audio in their mms. What say you All the Way?
No Problem
Ever since I had my sim card changed at AT&T store, every rom I flashed the sms and mms works prefect.
After new flash I let the "auto" connection setup do its thing and voila its working. On a rare instances when it does not work, I just use one the "AT&T Wap MediaNet & MMs setting" cab file.
for those of you having trouble with mms , try changing sim, it worked for me.
Hi Everyone,
I am running the latest At&t stock rom, however I never let the bloatware install run, skip it by soft resetting. For some reason I cannot receive MMS messages unless I let the bloatware install run. I have spoken to At&t and they have tried changing values but nothing. I am able to send messages with pictures but cannot receive, I am never even notified a message came in. Texting works and browsing the web works in both opera and PIE, does anyone have suggestions?
ROM: 1.95.502.5 WWE
RADIO: 1.02.25.32
You're not alone, I had a problem with SMS messages after trying to bypass bloatware on the leaked rom, now there is a new rob by htc out for the fuze, so we'll see how that goes
But my issue was that i could read the sms texts in TF3D, but i could not view the threads or even see the messages in the main text message program
Also i thought my phone was sending out texts, but it really wasn't
Finally I caved in and hard reset with the bloatware, now i'm using a flipclock cab file to bypass alot of the tf3d bloatware. - unfortunately the bloat programs are still installed.
Strange you can't receive though, That was about the only thing i partially could do with my phone
TF3d is the most annoying thing ever, I guess they wanted it to be like the iphone, I am pretty sure you can remove that. I think i am going to dump my registry and then do a hard reset, dump the registry again and compare what is different. It has to be something really stupid.
hi, try this, then go into MMS setting and change the size from 200KB to 600kb, hope this helps, i know the cab says Kaiser, but it just mms setting for att. works on my fuze perfect.
Lupe
That cab didn't work. I tried disabling HSDPA HSUPA and forcing 3G still nothing. Hard Reset, noticed like the fifth item installed during at&t is some MMS XML file, going to hunt for it now, anyways after i had it back at factory I got an MMS no problems... *sigh* i guess i will just delete as much of their crap as possible and live with it.
mms setting from HTC
how about this.

maybe,???

Just an Update... Loaded the most recent ROM from HTC: 5.11.502.2 WWE over a month ago and I can send/receive pictures just fine now, they must have fixed something or the network was having issues.
So yesterday I flashed the new AT&T Official ROM on my Fuze and thought everything was working great. To my surprise I no longer am getting text messages nor can I send them. Both calls and the internet are working fine. I believe that is not that AT&T is not working since I put my SIM in my friends Tilt and it sent and received texts just fine.
Now the catch is that when installing the new ROM I did a soft reset to bypass the AT&T customization script. I did run the MSFT_security.cab but skipped the manila and opera cabs since I use MobileShell 3 and Iris.
I would like to know if there is any way to get text msgs to work without installing all of the excess stuff. Thanks.
More than likely, you also skipped the set up of the carrier codes, etc. I believe that you might be able to find the settings for AT&T
This might help
