problems with mms on t-mobile g1 (dream) - General Questions and Answers

I have the g1 and I'm using the apn (internet2.voicestream.com) because it comes free on my account ( I have a very old grandfathered plan) but my mms won't work. I've tried lots of settings I found on the net. Can anyone help me? Thank you.

Picture messaging...

Is anyone else not able to send picture messages? I've been trying since I got my wizard.. lol... if you know how, please, do tell...
you need to find ArcSoft MMS.. it shouldnt be too hard.. and then go to your carrier's website and look for the MMS settings. if you have cingular or att i know that it isnt hard.. good luck

I was hoping there was a free way to do it... lol I think you have to pay for ArcSoft...
You shouldnt have to.. I saw it in a bunch of places on the XDA FTP.. it also is here: http://rapidshare.com/users/IW25NT towards the bottom. take a look for the settings too, they shouldnt be too hard to find on the carrier's site.

found it by itself

Only problem is I am using crossbow reloaded wm6 .. and it doesnt give me an option for MMS configuration.
it should work with it.. i had it working w/ wm6.. try it out.. see what happens...
-Nstefanelli-
It's telling me it cant be installed because its not signed digitaly by a trusted certificate
that makes no sense.. i had no problem.. you have to find the setting that allows that to be installed and allow it. im not sure where it is.. but it should be there somewhere. you may want to google it or find a newer version of it on google

Crossbow Reloaded has MMS in it already. There is no reason to install it. You have to configure your providers settings. Have you done this? There are cabs on the second post of that thread you can use.
Mfrazzz, those settings will connect me to MediaNET right? I dont have MediaNET service... I was actually trying to see if it was possible to send them VIA WIFI.. so I dont get charged my money hungry cingular... <probably the last carrier to offer unlimited txt messaging.. lol>

I'm having a similar problem. There's no MMS "folder" or anything of the sort when I goto messages. There's no MMS anything anywhere that I can find. Using Crossbow reloaded 1.7. I downloaded the cabs, only one installed, the other one didn't. Then I installed the Arcsoft, and nothing. Whats worse is you can't search the forum for "MMS" so I'm stuck.
Any advice?

MMS and SMS are via MediaNet. Has nothing to do with WiFi. So if you send MMS or SMS its going to go across GPRS and you will have to pay for network fees. Whats worse (unless something has changed) MMS counts against both Messaging and Network usage. So if you have a plan with Cingular for 200 messages, sending or receiving an MMS will count as one of your messages (sent or received). But then you also get charged for the network usage for uploading / downloading the picture along with that.
IMO: If you are with Cingular and you are going to do texting and MMS, its worth it to pay for like the MediaMax 200. Something like $20 a month, and you get 200 messages and unlimited internet. Yeah, we have 8125's and are supposed to be on the PDA Unlimited plan ($40 a month and thats with NO text messaging!!!) but if you flash a custom rom and only put on the cab in my link, you can do just a MediaNet plan for much cheaper and they don't know the difference (there is a whole thread on the Cingular MediaNet stuff in the Wizard forum).

EIther you have a bad flash or something else has happened, as the MMS stuff is there (arcsoft and all). If you don't have MMS setup, thats probably why its not showing up. Who is your cell provider? use their website to get your MMS stuff setup. I have the Cingular cab in the Crossbow Reloaded 1.7 thread and there are links for T-Mobile, and some other non-US services there too.
But believe me, everything is there to do MMS in that rom... If you have issues then switch to the new 1.7.1 rom that is in "public beta" right now as initial reports is its working better (no dialpad issue so far like 1.7 had).
Mfrazz, actually, Cingular offers a 40 dollars for unlimited everything now...

Right, that is the MediaMax unlimited (or something like that). But if you call Cingular, they will tell you you can't have that as you have a PDA phone. Only thing we are supposed to have with these devices is the PDA Connect for $40 and thats just net access and now Messaging. The key / trick is to only use the wap.cingular.com access and then you can use MediaMax (whatever flavor you want). I don't do enough texting to justify $40 a month, so the $20 with unlimited internet and 200 messages works fantastic for me (seeing how I was paying $45 a month for PDA Connect and the $5 for 200 messages plan). You then change your data plan via their website (or if you call in tell them your 8125 isn't working and you are using a Razor or some Nokia phone right now).
Yeah thats what I did.. I changed it online.. .. Cingular is full of weasles..

Small MMS Pictures solved

I recently switched to the HTC S710 using T-Mobile USA. When I received a picture in an MMS, it was very small. I had to fix a similar problem with my T-Mobile Wing. The registry settings are different though. Here are the ones that worked for me:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ArcSoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\mm1\WspHeader]
"User-Agent"="prodigy/arcsoft-mmsua-ppc-3.0.0.xx"
"Profile"="http://www.htcmms.com.tw/gen/vox-1.0.xml"
"Accept-Charset"="us-ascii, utf-8, iso-10646-ucs-2, ISO-8859-1"
"Accept"="application/vnd.wap.mms-message;*/*;"
"Accept-Language"="en"
I joined just to thank you for posting this. What a PITA to track down... here are some keywords to hopefully make someone else's search easier.

First off where did you find software specifically for us cellular? second I have heard, myself included, you can receive which of course is free because it is incoming, but are unable to send. As far as I have been able to find...there is not a work around for this. If you happen across one....please do us all a favor and post it please!

Java SMS/text-based Instant messenger (no data internet gprs wap wifi) for F700

Hello,
I have a Samsung F700 and I have a plan with unlimited sms/mms messaging but no data whatsoever, so I am searching for an instant messenger that functions through sms only. Any help would be appreciated, whether you can tell me where to download it and how to install it or names of programs or if there is a name for these types of messengers
does anyone know about a program called OZ? supposedly it uses sms (but possibly also uses data for some functions?) i read somewhere that att uses a att-branded version of it? would this work? where would I get it?
Thank you!
I have t-mobile if that helps
