arrrg.....mms cannot be had.

First off let me say ive searched this site high and low and tried almost every .cab ive found and followed plenty of setup instructions but still for the life of me cannot get MMS to work. email i get no problems sending texts i get no problems. but no MMS , and i think ive tried everything on this site.... im running Farias WM6 rom , and love it.
I had MMS working on the phone before i had to reflash beacuse i updated a radio rom and it almost bricked it.... so i followed all the instructions again just like usual and reflashed the downgrade rom and then upgraded to farias. I just dont remember what it was i did to get MMS working before
If someone could help me out it would be much appreciated.....
Maybe we could start a sticky entitled " How to get your MMS back after flashing "
Thanks in advance guys.

You have absolutely no MMS? You cannot receive or send MMS? Who's your carrier?

Yea , no MMS at all......
cant recieve or send.....
I had it working on the Faria rom before i had to reflash.....
all i keep getting is " error syncronizing " everytime i try to hit " send/recieve"

I had the same issue, go under the MMS settings, then goto server, select Cingular MMS or whoever your carrier is, mine wascingular, and then set it to the default and delete the one named default
If there is not other one besides deafault, then you need to ask your provider for your settings and add it.
hope this helps

This might be helpful to others , but i tried it still no worky for me.
stolen from " Jon " on howard forums
Ah! This sorta illustrates the problem. I had mentioned that I couldn't seem to send MMS, although I *could* browse the web via GPRS.
Well...I spent some time on the phone with T-Mobile "PDA Support" and finally have this figured out! There's been talk here about using the two different APN's available to T-Mobile Internet customers for WAP and MMS versus regular website browsing.
When I spoke with T-Mobile PDA Support, I was told a few things:
1) they've had some network problems that aren't 100% resolved that could be messing up our ability to browse the net, consistently get EDGE speeds, or send MMS messages.
2) MMS is supposed to be sent over their WAP gateway, so for this, you should use "wap.voicestream.com" as your APN.
3) Web browsing for full HTML web pages is supposed to be done over their non-protocol-restricted internet gateway, so for this, you should specify "internet2.voicestream.com" as the APN.
I did some experimenting, and it seems that I cannot send MMS when I connect via "internet2.voicestream.com", and I cannot browse the web when I connect via "wap.voicestream.com". But, as the gentleman from T-Mobile PDA Support suggested, when I chose the APN appropriate to the task, I succeeded. I tried this several times with consistent results.
I think I saw some discussion here about manually selecting the GPRS connection each time so you get the right gateway. But with a bit of configuration work up front, you can make this work automatically. Here's how:
The essence of the solution is that you should have TWO different connection setting groups - one for Internet Browsing and email, and one for MMS. Then, you can have the first one automatically invoked when your application tries to connect to the Internet, and you can have the MMS application automatically select the second connection group when it's trying to send an MMS message.
So -- Most, if not all, of you have a connection group named "T-Mobile GPRS". To examine it, click on:
Start / Settings / Connections and then tap the Connections icon. With the Tasks tab selected, you should see two connection groups listed, along with three choices under each one for tasks you can perform.
Under the connection group named "T-Mobile GPRS", click "Manage existing connections" -- you should be on the "Modem" tab -- if not, select it now.
This page shows a table in which you can list various network connections that this connection group can use to send and receive data. Since it seems that the three APNs that we know about are special purpose (one for WAP/MMS, one for Internet, one for VPN), it does NOT make sense to mix them here and let WM5 try to figure out which is best to use -- you will wind up with inconsistent results (i.e., works sometimes, but not others, seemingly at random).
Instead, since this "T-Mobile GPRS" connection group is for Internet browsing, the one and only connection you want to specify here is one that will use the "internet2" APN.
But first, click on the "Proxy Settings" tab below, and just click the box labeled, "This network connects to the Internet", and make sure the other boxes on the pages are blank (no proxy server specified here!). When you're done, select the "Modem" tab again (you might have to minimize the keyboard display at the bottom to see the tabs).
If you don't have a data connection yet that uses the internet2 APN, you can click on "New", then give it a descriptive name (such as "Internet connection"), select "Cellular Line (GPRS)" as the modem, click "Next", and input "internet2.voicestream.com" as the APN, click "Next" again, leave the user name, password and domain all blank and click "finish".
Click "ok" at the top a couple of times and you should be done with the connection group that gets you to the Internet.
Now - we'll create a separate connection group for MMS:
Go back into "Start / Settings / Connections" and tap the "Connections" icon again. You're back at the "Connections" screen that lists your two most recently defined "connection groups" -- the top one should be "T-Mobile GPRS" since we just worked on it. Click on "Add a new modem connection". Even though this line appears under "T-Mobile GPRS", you'll actually be creating a new and separate connection group.
You'll see a screen entitled, "Make a New Connection". Give it a meaningful name -- I chose "WAP connection". Select "Cellular Line (GPRS)" as the modem, and click "Next". This time, under Access Point Name, specify "wap.voicestream.com". Click next and make sure on the "My Connection" screen that user, password and domain are blank, then click "Finish".
You will now have separate connection groups for Internet Access and for MMS tranmission.
The next step is what makes this work automatically. Close all the windows until you're at the "today" screen again. Click "Start" and then "Messaging". If you don't see "MMS" at the top left of the screen, click the "Menu" button at the lower right, click on "Switch Accounts" and select "MMS".
Click "Menu" again, and then click "MMS Configuration...". You'll see three tabs: "Preferences", "Servers" and "About".
The preferences tab has non-critical choices that you should set to meet your own needs.
On the Servers tab, you should see a single server listed, "T-Mobile MMS" -- this was installed by one of the T-Mobile customizations when you first booted up your MDA. Click on this , and you'll see a screen that details the configurat ion of this server. Here's what you want in the config:
Server Name: non-critical, T-Mobile named it, "T-Mobile MMS", so you should probably leave it at that.
Gateway: 216.155.165.50
Port Number: 8080
Server address: http://215.155.174.84/servlets/mms
...and HERE is where we tell it to automatically switch to our network connection that was set up for MMS:
Where it says, "Connect via:", the default that T-Mobile put in was your old "T-Mobile GPRS" connection. Instead, I clicked the drop-down arrow and selected the new connection that we created way up above that references the "wap.voicestream.com" APN, called something like "MMS Connection".
Sending size limitation as locked at 292k. WAP Version defaults to 2.0, but you can drop it down to 1.2 if you have some reason to do this (I don't).
Once this is all set right, click "OK", and "ok" your way back out of the messaging application.
Now you're ready for a test:
There are many way to initiate an MMS. However you do it, when it starts up, you should see it connecting to GPRS via your "MMS Connection", it will then send your MMS and disconnect from GPRS again after a bit.
Open up PIE again and select a website, and this time you'll see GPRS connecting via your first connection group -- the one that uses "internet2.voicestream.com" as the APN.
You can go back and forth several times -- this setup will select the correct network connection group each time, and work.
The ONLY issue I've seen with this is the following:
If your GPRS connection for one type of activity is still connected when you try launching the other service, it doesn't seem smart enough to force the old connection to disconnect first. So...if your old connection hasn't time out yet, you may have to click on the "G" icon (top of your today screen) and select "disconnect" before starting your other activity. But that's it -- aside from this, all the APN switching is automatic -- and works perfectly.

sounds like what ever your server settings are, your gateway setting is wrong.

" next hop connection failed "
Someone just texed me and said " nice pic " so i guess it worked ??
not holding my breath just yet, but praying !

*sigh* *arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggg*
now its just connects and disconnects.........
Here are my settings tell me if something is wrong :
Under my MMS configuration ( found from the messaging menu )
Servers :
Sever name : T-mobile MMS
Gateway : 216.155.165.50
Port number : 8080
Sever Address : Http://215.155.174.84/servlets/mms
Connect VIA : T-mobile MMS
And
Settings > Connections > connections Icon
Tmobile MMS then under " manage existing connections "

In the advanced tab under TCP/IP :" use server IP address is selected " and
nothing else is.
under servers on the advanced tab " use server-assigned addresses " is only selected.
any clues ?

back to the "Gateway+timeout" error.... sigh...

i dont know what the hell i did , but its sending messages now.........
still havent recieved one tho.
i think im gonna have to do a writeup tho.

Do you use wifi? When wifi is on my MMS doesn't work.

Did you ever figure out what was happening. I'm having a similar problem. As far as I can tell all the setting you listed above are correct, and I have mine set the same. When I try to send a message it hangs at 87% and never completes. Once it ran up to 99% then I got the "Gateway Timeout" error.

What version of the ARCSoft MMS client are you using?
I cannot get it to send or connect at all unless I use one of the CABs for the settings floating around - then it works, but that causes other NASTY side effects on WM6.

Just the one that came with the rom that I loaded, [02/Nov/2007] TNT.1933, ArcSoft 4.2.8.1 with plug-in and full features. The settings seem to connect, the message just won't complete sending.

I'm not able to get it to connect unless I use the T-Mobile CAB (manually configuring does NOT work) and that breaks data connections when on sync.

TILT bloatware removal question

Ok so I get the fact that if you soft reset when it installs all of the bloatware then it will cancel the install. However, I have done search but the answer was not very clear. When I stop the bloatware from being installed, does that mean I going to have to cinfigure all of the mms settings and internet settings? If so then when were would I find those settings for the at&t tilt? Also, will the cellular video cab for the 8525 work on the tilt or does someone need to make a new version? Any answers on this stuff would be greatly appreciated and like i said earlier, the search did not really give me a definite answer.

did the search not give you a deffinate answer or just not the one your looking for? You can find the MMS and WAP setting by search for Cingular MMS settings on google and this forum and also the cingular video will work with MediaNet as your ISP settings.

It still has proper internet settings. Haven't check the MMS though...

or you can always boot it up normally with all the bloatware, copy all the settings, and then hard reset and do the anti-bloatware boot.
I read that the att.cab file is the settings cab which you can install separately after un-hiding the install cabs on the tilt...? can anyone verify this?

The soft reset upon initial configuration on the tilt should leave the media net (3g) settings in tact...i dont know about the MMS yet but text messages, internet and push email with my exchange server work fine right now.

If any of those settings need manual configuration, all those settings can be found here.
One thing I noticed is the connection profile MEdia Net does not have the proxy settings out the box. The support page will have you input those settings. I find it's not necessary with the auto proxy detect in place. Also using MEdia Net with proxy settings may not allow CV to work.

MMS works fine. The only thing you may want to do is download the enable and disable proxy cabs. Check out this thread on HoFo: http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1257055

Need help with T-MO MMS/DATA on Sprint TP2 Touch Pro 2

So I have a Sprint Touch Pro 2 that I unlocked with HardSPL and sim unlocked through htc-unlocks.
I'm currently using the latest release from Mightyrom
I have the Phone calls and texts running no problem on the phone. My issue is with MMS and DATA. As I open the browser it gives me the CANNOT CONNECT screen on my Opera Browser.
I have no ability to send an MMS, As I go to my text message menu, I press NEW, and I have no option to choose "picture", "video", or "MMS" as a message type.
I found these t-mobile settings I guess i'm supposed to enter. Only problem is that I don't know where to enter these.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6531224&postcount=5
I'm pulling my hair out here trying to figure this out. I think i'm overcomplicating this
Any and all help is appreciated, thanks folks

Can you elaborate?
There's 8 options under the "connections" tab, and i've looked in all of them and don't see where I can enter any of it.
Anybody else who might have knowledge as well please feel free to chime in and help out. I'm a newbie who's searched everywhere there is, with no luck..
All input is appreciated

After you are at connections I believe you pick manage connections and then new connection and add from there.

settings - connections - connections - manage existing connections - new - choose cellular line (gprs,3g) - next - apn = epc.tmobile.com - next - finish
as far as mms goes I haven't found a way to make it work using mightyrom

Can't receive pictures since flashing ROM?

This is super frustrating...people are sending me pictures, but all I see in the text thread is "Downloading". I've got full strength signal, and sometimes I'm also connected to WiFi.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Are you talking about MMS?
When I was on JB,I had to manually install my APN settings for MMS.
Google your MMs settings,and enter them manually.

Could you give me a hand if you've got a minute? I'm not quite sure what I'm looking for, or how to access those settings in the menu tree? Thanks a million!

EDIT:
I found the APN setting in the menu...I made a few changes, hopefully that will do the trick!
EDIT:
Nope. Still messed up. Could someone share their APN settings in here?

Hi,
I am not currently on JB.
Go to settings/mobile data/ and I think APN settings.
Have a look.
First you need to google your MMS settings.
You want your carrier and area.
When you get to your APN list,press the second button from the left on your phone,and select a "NEW" APN.
Enter the new configuration,save,and reboot.

Let us know if it works.

I'm on paranoid android (i.e. JB)
i can receive mms pictures by doing these things (I use stock aosp messaging app)
turn off wifi
turn on network data
ensure mms apn is correct
turn off auto retrieve in mms settings
when i receive an mms, i have to manually download the pic. not only the stock mms app won't download the pic automatically, if i turn on auto retrieve, i dont receive mms at all. however go sms can download pic automatically.
