HTC Excalibur T-mobile mms message setup issue (yes I already searched) - General Questions and Answers

I have an unlocked HTC Excalibur/Dash that I am using on the T-Mobile USA network. It came pre-installed with Windows Mobile 6.1.
I cannot send or recieve MMS messages. Everytime I try I get an "Error synchronizing" message. I have followed instructions in an older thread for inputing GPRS and MMSC settings, but I still am having the same error.
Any help you can offer outside of telling me to search will be greatly appreciated.

I appologize if bumping isn't kosher here, but threads seem to get buried quickly.
Can anyone point me to a solution for this?

Having same issue, tried many settings under the mms, it might be roaming network setting issues. I haven't tried this yet, but I'm thinking that because I'm in roaming, I am unable to get any MMS.

Treo 750 V T-Mobile MMS Settings

Hi guys,
I have the Palm 750v unlocked with my T-mobile sim in. I have setup the Internet connection etc but the new MMS/SMS package sets up different and I cannot set up MMS .
Need someone who knows the password for T-mobile UK MMS
Anyone with any idea , even if you copy down the vodafone settings that would give me a guide of what is different.
Cheers
moved to treo section
Try this works for me
Thanks Chrisboy
Have you managed to get the device to send an MMS?
I havent tried to be honest but i did with my Tytn and it didnt work, i assumed it had to be switched on by Tmobile
Chris
mms I can't get working currently.
A network error (0x150) has occurred.
First things does anyone know where the automatic settings are linked too?
They must link back to a file in the registry or maybe in the windows file.
manual settings I have tried (same settings that work on my tytn still no luck)
The menu settings are different to the ones on my TyTN.
Menu,Options,Advanced
auto / manual
select manual then edit
If anyone gets it working on tmobile please post.
Thanks
speed tests are fantastic currently getting 1.1 megabits per second.

Is that on your Tytn or the 750V ???
Treo 750v chrissyboy6969. I love the device.
Dude how do you get 1.1mb/s on the device, HSDPA is not enabled the most i can get is 300kb/s
Not enabled a thing just did a speed test on the device and I am getting over 1mb always best so far is 1.1mb tmobile uk sim card. I know the phone doesn'y have wifi but I can live with these speeds over GPRS.
Very strange, i am on tmobile and i had the tytn before this and my speeds were around the same with the tytn but with this i can only get 300kb/s do you have the vodafone standard rom as well and what do you use to test the speed
Thanks

Guys Paul at Modaco sent me this . Its from the registery I guess the Vodafone part is hard set into the registry.
I have tried this and it doesn't work . If I open it with Notepad the Tmobile settings seem wrong . Is it simply just entering the correct values and you are done?
Treo 750 Clear MMS Settings
Today just got an "unlocked" Treo 750v (Vodafone Version).
The MMS settings are buried in the registry. Cannot get to them via typical set up options.
There is no way I can replace Cingular MMS settings with Tmobile (My carrier).
If I go and make change manually, the changes do not take effect. The next time I reboot/restart phone these settings disappear.
I have found registry import files in different forums, but none seem to make change properly.
Any ideas?
Yea , it seems an issue and it does come from within the reg. I have to date no none fix . Maybe some of the other more techy guys could help on the other forums.
I received my unlocked Treo750v yesterday.
So far I have been successfull in getting everything working except MMS messages.
Currently, I have aquired what I believe to be all the necessary information in order to send T-Mobile USA MMSs:
Message Center Number: +12063130004
Email Center Number: 500
MMS Gateway address: 216.155.165.050
MMS URL: http://216.155.165.050/servlets/mms
Network Profile: Default
Some people have stated they were unable to get these settings to stay after restarting their phone. I am not experiencing that problem. The closest I can get to reproducing that error is that when i turn off the cell capabilities, the Message Center Number disappears. However the correct number reappears when I turn the cell functions back on.
I've taken a brief look at the reg file in T_Mobile_750v.zip

OK, found a posting on TreoCentral that solves the MMS issue.... take a look

I use the same profile as my GPRS Internet but some people just add one under connections called Picture Messaging or something along them lines.
I took a look at the registry file and changed it and got everything working but when you restart the phone settings default to the original ones which cause message to stop send and receiving.
I also took some pictures of some speed tests as I am getting over 1mb speeds.
I am so happy with my Treo 750v it was a good buy everything that I want is now working. more pictures in my next post.

Can you put some screen shots up of your network settings

Verizon TP2 on ATT: MMS problem

I am using an unlocked Verizon tp2 stock rom on Att's network. I have got everything to work on ATT's network except for MMS. I can send mms messages to others but I cannot receive them. I used to not be able to download mms messages but I changed the mms settings from verizons to att's and it will actually download the message now. When I receive them though it just says "message not found". If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.

Are you on a stock rom or custom rom? Whenever I flash my ROM I never get MMS to work until I tell the phone what to use for MMS. This requires registry editing which I can explain how to do if this is the case.
This is a stock rom. I had to registry edit to allow me to change the mms settings because before they were locked to verizon and there was no way to change them
daddylonglegs, Maybe you can tell me the registry edits you did and i can try that?
only if you no how to flash a custom rom
http://hotfile.com/dl/22460657/342b335/EnergyROM_21885_RHOD500_31.Dec.2009_StandardM2.5.rar.html. im using this custom rom and everything works great.
I just loaded the energy rom and and still no luck with mms. I am using mms server settings
* IP Adress: wireless.cingular.com
* Port number: 80
* Server address: http:// mmsc.cingular .com
* Send limit: 600K
* WAP Version: WAP 2.0
I also have a problem with bing not working with locate me. does that happen to you too?]

I tried to go to the site and it wouldnt download. What specific rom are you using? The only one I know of is ssk which I used but found to be slightly buggy. I too had an unlocked tp2 that is being used on att. I cannot get mms to work but like the stability of the 6.5 rom and would rather have a pretty basic one since I would not be up to tweaking it frequently
He is using Energy "Leo" 21885. I tried it and it didn't help mms. The rom was nice but had some bugs that annoyed me. I changed to JUICY ROM and it is really nice and stable. If your looking for stock then energy isn't really but Juicy is. I still haven't got mms to work but if you do let me know.

I am having the same problem with my imagio. I have all of my mms settings. unblocked the server edit with arcsoft. can now send mms successfully but cannot receive. Any ideas anyone?
mms with att on verizon
go to ppcgeeks they have all the cdma stuff your looking for energy rom, mms fix, driver update, im dont have one problem. i love my verizon phone w/Tmobile service
AT&T is not CDMA. I have an Imagio and installed the AT&T WAP & MMS cab. Same problem: send is o.k. receive is "Message not found" I am using My Clean Imagio ROM (custom version with carrier provisioning [not turned on])
same problem here. changed all server settings but shouldnt the "connect via" be media net? thats not and option in the drop down for the cdma phones. is there a way to add this in? im thinking this would allow it to work? or has anybody found a solution for this yet? ive searching for days and havnt found any yet although iv seen people say theyve got it working but dont say how...

I would like to know what registry editing are you doing. I have a vzw tp2 and cant get the mms to work. Any light shined on this would be great. Is there an arcsoft mms cab you installed over, a proxy enable/disable cab, manually add in medianet and configure it, manually add att mms settings?
please post your setttings and help us out.
thanks
MMS works perfectly on the stock rom. Do you have a custom rom?
im using energys manilla 2.5 leo rom. still havnt gotten this to work. has anyone got this going yet. ive been all over ppc geeks trying to figure this out. ive even got other members pm-ing me with the same problem. i know there has got to be a way for this to work.
Why is their no answer? How do you get mms and data to work when you have a verizon touch pro 2 and you are on att or t-mobile in the USA? And I mean with any stock rom?
I received my Imagio sim unlocked. I put in my AT&T sim card. I had to edit the GSM servers, and phone/data band choices to match AT&T. I have changed the registry for ServerEdit under ArcSoft. I have used the network wizard to set up AT&T. Just like everyone else, I can send MMS but cannot receive MMS. All other e-mail, SMS works fine. Is this a UAProf problem or is it an IMEI problem with the proxy server? I really don't know. I want to say this. T-Mobile folks are not having the problem as much. The problem is with Verizon unlocked (global) phones using AT&T sim cards. Does anyone have an idea if AT&T servers or software is blocking the MMS due to the phone not being recognized?
HEY EVERYBODY!!! i have stumbled across a temporary solution to this several months ago and had posted the link to the thread i started in several places but i guess i forgot this one!!! haha anyway, its over on ppcgeeks but my name is different over there. its luzboss. so if it helps you out please hit thanks or show you appreciate it!!!

[Q] prl update for page plus on alltel htc hero cdma

Hi. I've found this site to be very helpful in my attempts to activate an Alltel HTC Hero cdma on the Page Plus network.
I finally got the phone to make calls, but it says that I'm roaming - there's a triangle above the signal strength meter. I checked it by making a call and it charges me the roaming rate of $0.29 a minute. I think I need an updated .prl file, but I'm not sure.
I'm able to send and receive text. I cannot send or receive MMS or connect to the internet.
Maybe someone here can help me. Please
Phone will be used in Berlin, WI 54923 (Near the following cities: Appleton, Oshkosh, Neenah, Fond du Lac)
Original phone details:
Alltel network, but Alltel is no longer in my area. Alltel customers were sent to Element One. I don't know if this affects what I'm trying to do.
Phone # (MDN) 920xxxxxxx
MSID (MIN) 9202900444
SIN/NID 1/65535
MMS Server url mms.alltel.com/servlets/mms
I rooted the phone and got my MSL (000000) number and made the following changes
Phone # (MDN) 920xxxxxxx
MSID (MIN) 9202799238 (from Page Plus)
SIN/NID 240/65535 (got "240" from Page Plus, they couldn't give me a NID number so I used the same one)
MMS Server url mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms (got this from searching on forums)
I downloaded a .prl file via KittyWireless manual programming instructions kittywireless.com/pageplus/pageplusmanualprogramming.html
I updated the PRL from my sd card by dailing ##775# and "commit changes"
When I make a call, I'm always asked to re-enter the 10 digit phone number I'm trying to reach. I've tried the following OTA programming numbers *228, *22800, *22888, *22890, *22891. I always get the following "Message AP 32 Welcome to US Cellular ..." It should be Verizon or Alltel, right?
I thought I might be using the wrong NID number so I tried 65335 (which I think is for Verizon), but it didn't make a difference. Still roaming and same messages when I try OTA programming.
I don't know if this means anything, but when I dial ##DATA# to edit mode I can choose either Data Profile, EVDO, or Advanced. If I choose EVDO, I get a blank screen. I can't make any changes.
So, I'm thinking I need a different prl file. Would this affect my data connection for internet and MMS too? What do you guys think? Can someone direct me to the right PRL file?
I've spent hours trying to get this phone to work... if you have any suggestions let me know.
Thanks!
PRL Update...
Hi there..
I've found the following PRLs useful when using Sprint Phones on Pageplus, so perhaps they will help with the Alltel Hero. I've used 51425m on my Alltel Hero on Pageplus. Worked like a charm. The 52505m is the latest VZW EvDo PRL.
Noticed the thread is old, but may help anyone else trying to do this.
Ive been trying to get 3g data working with my Nexus S on Pageplus.
All I can get is either a good 1X data connection or a slow, intermittent 3g connection.
I will try these PRL's when I get home.
Thanks!
any luck on getting this working yet ??? I can not find any solutions anywhere
You contact your carriers

[Q] MMS Issues on unlocked HTC Titan

I have an unlocked AT&T HTC Titan running on T-Mobile and I have been experiencing some MMS issues. I cannot send or receive any picture messages. I tried to use the HTC Connection Setup, however, I was still unable to get picture messaging working. For APN, I have 'epc.tmobile.com' which I added manually. Any help will be appreciated.
Currently running OS Version: 7.10.7720.68
Thanks in advance.
deleted
I went ahead and contacted customer support. Thanks for the help. Hopefully I get a response back.
And??
Do you know more about youre problem i have the same problem
Frank, I am currently in contact with HTC customer support. It looks like they will not be able to fix the problem but I am attempting some troubleshooting in the hopes that it will help. I'll be sure to update the thread if I find a solution.
Small update. It appears that I am able to receive picture messages but am still having issues with sending. HTC support was unable to help me with the problem. They recommended a soft reset but that did not fix the problem.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
fix mms on titan
first dl the htc connection setup and let it run for tmobile. re-start phone.
then go to settings -> cellular -> edit apn
In the APN box:
epc.tmobile.com
Leave everything else blank!!!
That's it; should work.
this works ...legit...running tmo on titan...beast...data/phone/text/mms all work

MMS breaks data

When I send an MMS message my signal indicator shows data connected and with good signal but Chrome says my device is offline. Has anyone else encountered this issue and know how to fix it?
Edit #1: Why is MMS in it's own seperate APN in the settings I added the MMS into the APN for data and it may be fixed. Why would the default be wrong?
Edit #2: Added screenshots of APN & I T-Mobile is my carrier.
Edit #3: Forgot to mention I'm in the U.S. with a MHA-L29C636, still not fixed

Nobody has anything to say?
Not sure if this is relevant to your issue. My experience here on Vodafone in Australia is that when I receive an MMS, I have to turn off my WiFi and turn on mobile data, and then the MMS content will load. I assume it would be the same if I tried to send an MMS.

I have the same exact issue as these people who also have T-Mobile. Not quite the same as yours mine doesn't work even when connected to WiFi.
Hi to all. I am on Tmobile USA. On L29C636 rebranded from Chinese. Had the same exact issue with Mms after resting the device. So it happens after a reset. I solved the issue by deleting the APN and Mms settings and entered a complete new one based on Tmobile settings. Honestly it's the same but for some reason that's how it worked for me. By the way I had issues with native SMS mms app on the phone from day one. So I am using Textra and that was another work around for the Mms. Good luck

This gives me hope can you please screenshot your APN settings so I can test this solution?
Honestly I had this phone for almost 3 months and all the issues i had I was able to solve form the form here. So don't loose hope. Here is the shot u requested. In general it's the same
