MMS Problems, Any Solutions?

It seems to me that any ROM i flash on to my Kaiser will never let me send out MMS messages.
I have removed the "hidden proxy"
I did set up the proper T-Mobile configurations for the MMS service
I do have Arcsoft MMS Composer 4.2.8.1
And still, can't send or receive anything? Please help me out, I did try searching for answers and nothing has helped me out.
Thank you for your time..

I'm not sure what network your on, or country but you could try sending a mms to yourself and see if it works.

I use MMS regularly and it has worked for me on most ROMS that I have flashed from this forum including Dutty's. Have you called your service provider?

I'm on T-Mobile in Peoria, AZ, USA. I have tried sending a MMS and it stays on 0%. Then just stays in drafts.
My MMS use to work before when ROMS had a "Auto Configure" pre-loaded.
It seems that whenever I have to enter the configurations manually it never seems to work?

try this...
go back to 4.0whatever it is and see if that fixes it.

When you are in Messages, go to Menu>MMS Options>Servers - highlight the setting (mine says "AT&T MMS), double tap on it and it opens up a page of Settings:
Server: AT&T MMS or whatever yours is
Gateway: wireless.congular.com (get this from your carrier)
Port number: 80 (the default I think, but check with your carrier)
Server address: http://mmsc.cingular.com (whatever T-Mobile says it should be)
Connect via: << now here you have a drop-down menu - make sure you pick the one that you use for your general internet connecting (e.g. I can connect with either MediaNet or AT&T WAP - I just have to be sure they both match when I go to send an MMS)
Send limit: 600k (only option on my drop-down box - I know on my 8125 it was only 300k)
This fixed it for me, see if it helps you.

Thanks for the info but I've done that many times.
Like I've said I have configured and re-configured the settings..
And disabled the "hidden proxy" so now I'm not sure what could be the problem?

ok do this then hard reset and install my latest connection setup which got loads of countries and cities, thats the latest version. after flash it should automatically set up your conection hopefully
You can get it from my signature website below

Ok, will do..
Quick question for you Dutty.
I see that you have uploaded the "Dutty's New Build + NETCF 3.5 Lite Rom NO.6" on the server insted of the "Dutty's New Build + NETCF 5 Lite Rom NO.6" which I'm currently running..
Which would you personally recommend?

There are two lite roms one for at&t with new radio and drivers and one just htc brand

ok so the NETCF 5 brand has the HTC brand because that's the one I'm running.
But isn't NETCF 3.5 more like "40%" faster than NETCF 5 ??
Heh, because I do want the HTC brand, but you should make the Ultimate HTC Rom for all the Non-At&t users.

HTC HD2 Email Error Synchronizing

Hi All,
Sorry if the answer is somewhere I have tried my best for searching through forums but couldn't find any solution.
I have bought an HTC HD2 was on O2 but got it unlocked.
I'm using it with Orange. The internet and everything seems to work perfectly fine but I can't get emails through internet. Everytime I get the same message i.e. Error Synchronizing" cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings, tap Settings.
It's the same message either I try to access my yahoo email, googlemail or hotmail.
I have tried changing internet settings, email settings but no success.
Funnily enough I get email with no problems once my HTC HD2 is connected through WiFi.
I'll be very thankful to you if anyone could help my sorting out my frustration.
Thnx

Was having same problem - Try this-
Hi,
I think I was having the same problem today (HTC HD2 on T-Mobile). I had Outlook synchronization working fine to my work email, however when I tried to setup an IMAP connection to my ISP email (PlusNet) I was getting the error you mention.
After some experminentation/research I found the answer (for me):
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=302066&page=4
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just had this issue on my new HTC Touch Pro (on T-Mobile UK) stock rom.
I've been pulling my hair out over this for a few hours and FINALLY solved it. For me the issue seem that when T-Mobile downloads all its settings to the phone the Internet service is called "T-Mobile Internet" where the email settings aare trying to use "Internet" (which then no longer exists).
So in short - this is how I fixed it...
At you mail inbox: Menu > Tools > Options > Click ur email account > Edit Account Setup > press Next until you get to the Outgoing (SMTP) Mail server settings page > Click the Advanced Server Settings link at the bottom > change Network connection to your internet provider instead of the default "Internet" (e.g. mine's "T-Mobile Internet") > carry on thorugh the pages until finished. It should now connect without the Error Synchronising message.
Hope this helps save someone some time somewhere!

Thanks
Nice one Lloydy I was having exactly the same problem. My phone now works perfectly. I definately appreciated your post.

thanks!!
perfect man

Back to the HD2 for a minute... I have exactly this problem, and the Telstra ROM in my HD2 does not give me quite the same menu options as described above. For example there is no "advanced" option in the mail outgoing server setup page. Where else can I find it??
TIA

same here, can we have more detailed instructions on the htc hd2, there isnt and advanced option even with stock rom. Please make this clearer

I was having the same problem, only switching it to T Mobile Data instead of T Mobile Internet (which is what it was set on) worked...maybe it's just the switch and forcing the connection to recalibrate itself is what works...

Love this forum.
Thanks guys, worked great, yey!

Just figured it out and it works now - woohoo!!
To get to the "advanced" setting in the email config.
Click Start
Click email (in the programs menu page)
Highlight your email account (eg gmail)
click menu
select options
click gmail
click 'edit account setup'
click next/next/next.. until the smtp setup page
click 'advanced server settings'
select the proper network connection (eg Telstra internet)
Then done next/next/finish
And voila you can synchronise

Thanks Lloydy - I have also been pulling my hair out. Just one question though. Will emails be sent/received by wi-fi if wi-fi if is connected rather than using up data allowances of 3g/gprs. I tried going into the setting and turning off the data connection and then send/reeive email but the phone has a habit of turning the data connection back on on its own.

Another big thanks from me. Sorted my sync problem at last.
I'm on Q-Tel Hala (pre-paid) out in Qatar.
I've bookmarked this page for future reference.
Cheers, John

That was the sollution for my problem exactly

Oh man, you are GOD! Last 10 days iam trying to setup mail and finally i found your post. Thanks a lot!

yahoo mail, how?? / background from personal jpegs

Yahoo
Hey guys and gals, how do i receive/send or in any way use my yahoo mail account without the need of yahoo mail Plus!?
It's a big problem for me because it's the only email i use and i don't want to have to log in via browser...
is there an app of whatever, just how do i set it up!? please help
Background
How do i setup my background to a personal jpg picture without the need of always cropping the picture (i would adjust the right resolution via my PC)

to have your yahoo account work with any mobile phone, including android phones, you first need to change your yahoo account so that it uses Yahoo! Asia. Follow the steps below:
login to yahoo email
click Options -> Account-> Add or edit an account
click on Account Information from the menu on the left
change Preferred Content to Yahoo Asia
log out and then log in again
the create a new account in the Email application on your phone
fill in your email and password and then click Manual setup
Change POP to IMAP
username should be your yahoo username
IMAP server: imap.mail.google.com
Port: 993
security type: SSL (always)
Click next
SMT server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 465
Security type: SSL (always)
That's it. There is only one thing to note here. This works only with mobile networks and not with WiFi. Yahoo has some sort of deal to only access yahoo imap servers through mobile networks
hope this helps

thanks a bunch, i'll give it a try, that would be a lifesaver...and i don't mind not using wifi for mail since wifi is mostly awailable to me only at home and i can access yahoo on my pc so no worries there
any comment about the background?

hm...ssjowowo i have a problem, i'd appreciate a little more help
i followed your steps and i entered this:
Change POP to IMAP
username should be your yahoo username
IMAP server: imap.mail.google.com
Port: 993
security type: SSL (always)
but after clicking next it says: "Setup could not finish - Unable to open connection to server"
I used the pre-installed "Email" app in x10.
I had one more proble which is maybe causing the first one. In the yahoo setup i couldn't find "change Preferred Content to Yahoo Asia", where is that located exactly? What i did instead is changed the regional settings to Yahoo Asia! hoping that that's what you meant. I can give you screen shots if you'd like?

Do you use wifi or 3G/GPRS? Remember it won't work over wifi. Try using some of the other options for security type if nothing else works

sorry Astral07 didn't read you whole message. you have to change your location to Asia for this to work. I can write a more detailed guide when i get off work

No problem man, thank you for helping...a more detailed guide would be great
anyhu, this is what i've got

Your yahoo is now set in Asia. That's corect. Now on your phone follow this guide:
1) On the email app, enter your email add and password. Then click 'Manual setup' below the screen.
2) Click 'POP'
3) For username enter your full email address. ex: [email protected]
4) Next enter your password
5) POP3 server: pop.mail.yahoo.com
6)Port: 995
7) Security type: SSL (Always)
8) Delete email from server: Never
9) SMTP server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
10) Port: 465
11) Security type: SSL (Always)
12) Put a check on 'Require sign-in'
then if you are asked again just re enter your username and password
done!

thanks but after step 8.) i press next and i get: "Setup could not finish - Username or password incorrect."
i entered it like 5 times, i know my password very well i've also tried ucing just the username without the @yahoo.com but that didn't work either
what the hell is wrong...?

the username should have @yahoo.com
Are u connected on the internet? If you are using 3G try using wlan. It should work

i tried with @yahoo.com, no go
ofc i'm connected i tried 2G, 3G and wlan...no go
i don't think the conn is the prob...why would it say that my password or username was incorrect?

You are better off using IMAP because POP doesnt support folders nor email states from the server. So if you use POP, all your emails will get downloaded and marked as unread. IMAP supports both.
Astral07 try using these settings
Incoming server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 143
Security Type: None
SMTP server: smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 587
Security Type: None
Both these and the previous ones I posted before work for me

i don't know what to tell you...again, i got the same username or password incorrect message
i am 100% sure that those are correct, i also tried my second yahoo account and it said the same thing

Try using the K9 app from the market. It should work no prb from there. What carrier are you using? Maybe they have it blocked or something

hmmm, i'm on Tele2, i'll ask them but i doubt it
i'll try k9 now and report back

i tried ssjowowo's setting for imap and had the same username/password wrong

looks like it doesn't matter which protocol i use, i get us/pass wrong even with k9!
wtf...
i tried both pop3 and imap

I tried setting up imap on my yahoo mail but i get the username/password error. On pop it works fine. Now did you register your imap using wifi or 3g? cos i found this: http://mobiletech.knguyentu.com/2009/11/motorola-droid-setting-up-yahoo-mail.html
Caution: Before Proceeding, ensure that WIFI is turned OFF. This only works via Verizon 3G Signal.

so im assuming that this set up would work via 3g signal only?

i tried 3g, 2g, no wifi, every possible setting and still i get the username/password error

That's so weird. Im on O2 (UK) and both setups work fine. Maybe the problem is down to the carrier not supporting it which is even more weird. It took me ages to set it up the first time on my Hero. Now I just follow these steps. It worked first time on my X10

GPS Problems

My GPS is not locking at all and I've searched thru n found a couple things to try but nothing seems to work. Anybody?
G2x Deez Nuts

Same issue, change SLP to Google, Nokia, always the same issue. GPS is spotty.
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk

How do I change the spl?
G2x Deez Nuts

Dial 1809#*999#
GPS Test
Settings

According to the GPS test App I have 10/10 sats.......but the Google maps wont locate me and neither will other programs!!
G2x Deez Nuts

When I run Get Position under the LocMgrPD Test Menu (1809#*999#) and it locks, then all my GPS apps, Navigation, Telenav, Waze, Maps, etc will work. However, Get Position will only find me 7 out 10 times. I added a Any Cut Activity to my desktop with a link direct to LocMgrPD so I could Get Position quick and bypass the 1809#*999# entry. This has been the only way I have been able to get Nav and GPS to sometimes work.
I hope the GB Update includes a fix for the GPS Driver and this is not a hardware issue. I suppose if it is hardware, once the GB Update is out I can always return the phone and get a new one under the warranty as the GPS should really work. This and a minor Screen Bleed have been the only flaws in what is now my 2nd G2X.

By the way, try to run the Get Position in the LocMgrPD. It does the same thing as GPS Test, but for me it locks, while GPS Test never does.
Below is from another XDA poster...
Nokia SUPL - locks in about 16 seconds (GPS Status)
1. Go into the LG hidden menu (1809#*999#)
2. Go into GPS Test
3. Go into System Settings
4. MOLR Protocol (is set to User-Plane)
5. SULP Setting -> SLP Server Setting, I created a new one for the nokia servers (slp address: supl.nokia.com, port: 7275, no cert and no TLS setting)
6. SLP Auto Provision is activated
Google SUPL - locks in about 7 seconds (GPS Status)
1. Go into the LG hidden menu (1809#*999#)
2. Go into GPS Test
3. Go into System Settings
4. MOLR Protocol (is set to User-Plane)
5. SULP Setting -> SLP Server Setting, I created a new one for the Google (slp address: supl.google.com, port: 7275, cert NULL and Yes to TLS setting)
6. SLP Auto Provision is activated
Note: I personally believe it has something to do with the SLP Auto Provision. Mine was off by default when i launched hiddenmenu.

Its there a way to restore the LG menu to CM7 roms? Someone upload the hiddenmenu.apk maybe?

Thanks for this. Unfortunately, setting the SLP server to supl.google.com didn't help; it still took GPS Status 106 seconds for the first fix (which is very much in line with what I had been getting, and indicative of the AGPS data not being used). A couple of specific questions (which I realize you may not have the answers to, since you were quoting this from another poster):
The MOLR protocol button is grayed-out on my phone, so I have no idea whether it's set to User-Plane or C-Plane. Is there anything I need to do to enable this button?
Also, the supl.google.com instructions say "cert NULL" -- does that mean putting the exact characters N U L L into that box, or leaving it empty, or something else?

Yep, beyond my pay grade, no idea how these phones actually work. I left Cert blank and my MOLR was grayed too.
I wish someone with knowledge of how this phone actually worked would respond to the GPS issue threads, but everyone around here seems to be preoccupied with arguing over the merits of a G2x and Sendation.
