Small MMS pictures - definitive fix?

I know this is a bit old, but I've never managed to fix the problem and I just received a picture message, so it jogged my memory
I've searched the forum, and it seems that everyone having the problem of receiving small pictures in messages has fixed it with either Cingular or T-Mobile cabs. What I'm wondering is, has anybody found a proper fix for it that works whatever network you're on?
I'm on O2 in the UK, and haven't seen anything posted specifically for O2, or in general for people not on Cingular/AT&T or T-Mobile, but I'm hoping someone knows what I can do!

I'm on T-Mobile USA and I have this problem with Crossbow Reloaded 1.7. I've tried searching and CANNOT find a FIX! What are these cab files you're talking about... Do you have a thread you're reading this from?

MMS Working on wizard with WM6
How you managed to get MMS working in general? I used Faria roms and IGnetics non of them support MMS.

For everyone with small MMS issue, install this fix. It worked like a charm for me.

worked like a dream - had a quick look at the changes it makes - all in the registry, seems to use a nokia xls for the formatting rather than the htc one... weird...

From what I understand this fix will not work on an HTC Inspire. Is that correct? Does anyone have a solution? thanks.

My phone seems to have no fix, I have encountered such a problem, there is no better way to do that?I urgently need someone to guide us.

Duttys V3 final issues

I would've posted in the V3 thread but since there was the new V4 thread and 300+ pages on there, people might not be as interested to look at the older thread.
So I flashed Duttys V4 rtm but found that there were many bugs and FELT like it was slower than the V3. But with both ROMS I am having problems with sending and receiving MMS. Or at times having a hard time receiving data. It would tell me that I am connected to the net but wouldn't transfer any. I use Opera 8.65 and it once told me it could not find my proxy settings. I've done many many hard resets and a couple radio changes. I get one or the other services. It's either I get my internet or I get my MMS. Never both at the same times. Anyone with input on this?

I'm guessing I must be the only one experiencing this problem then.

Well obviously I have been reading and searching the net plus xda and didn't come up with a resolution hence my question here. And my comment back to Hdstreetglide wasn't meant to be of an ass type response, I told him it was a helpful input but unfortunately it didn't solve my problem. So what kind of an attitude would you have liked for me to have? What would you have liked for me to say?

Thong, We are not being negative or nasty. If you will read Dutty's wiki I think you will find your answer. Colin is correct that this question has been answered several times in the 300 pages.

Are you with AT&T?
Do you have the MediaNet package?
if so, then go to :
start, settings, connections tab, connections, advanced tab, select network.
make sure to select media net on both drop down cells, then on the upper one, click on:
edit, proxy settings tab, uncheck the tab that says "this network uses a proxy server......" , click OK, you might need to reboot your phone and you are set to go.

Thanks asfoor that worked. unlike the WIKI it doesn't talk about what you just posted.

Thong...I have the same problem that you have been experiencing. My MMS doesn't work and I don't have a data package on my plan to try out MEdia Net so I'm in the process of figuring this out. I've changed radios a few times to no avail...I will update with any progress.
I have searched and tried and installed the MMS settings CABs. I'm running 12.17 radio but MMS isn't working right now...any help would be helpful.

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but don't you need some sort of data plan to receive MMS? Because it has to connect to Media Net to send and receive. I know when ATT accidently took off my data plan I wasn't able to connect PERIOD. It would try to but then it would give me the system message saying something like "Cannot connect to the answering modem etc etc."

Thong you are absolutly correct.. NO DATA Plan No SMS or MMS.... you at least have to have the very expensive pay per message plan..

Well what about unlimited messaging bundles? They allow unlimited messages of any sort to any one which includes MMS. When I first got my phone a week ago and flashed it to Dutty's V2 ROM I was able to receive small postage sized picture messages but after I updated to Dutty's V3 and radio I was no longer able to.
I forgot to add that I have an unlimited messaging bundle but no data plan due to the phone always being near a WiFi signal.

Is there anything else I have to do but install the disable hidden proxy cab? I tried that but still not able to send or receive MMS messages...I'm about ready to throw in the towel and just not use this feature at all although I would really like it if it did.

well i've tried everything that I could find about MMS issues and still nothing. I can't send nor receive pictures and my phone says that it can't connect to the servers. I give up.

tryed to search but couldnt find..mms no work on L26_3.53.502.0 pro(the new rom)

im trying to send mms and its just giving me error where it pusehs my mms to drafts.. when i resend it from there it doesnt go through.
im sitin on at&t network if it makes a diffrence. i ran a search on l26 thread but came out empty....
sorry about the new post but figured i might not be the only one..
thanks guys.

you might want to post this in the actual thread the rom is in since its users will be checking it out more often

pdaviet black themed m2d rom

does anyone happen to have the pdaviet nbh file of the black themed rom (i dont remember the build number). . .it was released two roms ago. . . the latest one was the gold and multicoled theme and the one before that was the red theme.
on another note i read this: The owner of the roms does not want to post his roms on www.xda-developers.com. He feels that he is not receive good appreciation here.So no more roms will be uploaded.
If you want PdaViet Roms then click here - http://www.pdaviet.net/forumdisplay.php?f=115
so i followed the link to find out that the page is in another language. . . Sad because i was starting to like these roms.

Well, I have it but I don't have a server to host it.
On a side note you asked a question right before that thread was closed. You wanted to get rid of the Notification Bubble from an incoming SMS right?
HKEY_C_U>ControlPanel>Notifications>{A877D65B-etcetc (this is the entry for "Messaging: New Text Message") change the "Options" to 7.
The Icon will appear, it will vibrate and sound still.

I did not meant that you wont get these roms, you can download the roms from the link i gave.I will talk to microlab regarding this and he might again agree on posting his roms here on xda-developers,till then we can make a thread just for bugs and solutions.
And this is the link to the rom you wanted - http://www.mediafire.com/?mijzzrzn5jz

Please do ask Microlab if there is a fix for the Sounds and Notifications screen. It is severely garbled, and if I knew where to find the xml for it, would have given it a shot. Appreciate your help very much.

No Problem. I know you can keep changing that value. "6" vibrates, and shows the icon but doesnt ring, so on and so forth. I don't know what they all do or what the max value could be, I'm guessing somewhere between 10 and 15. you probably noticed already but thats also where you can changed what .WAV file is played for a new SMS.

I don't speak a lick of Vietnamese and I managed to register on that forum, verify registration, get myself logged in, and find the latest PDAVIET Herald release.
It's just plain ol' forum navigation. It's not that difficult. *shrug*
edit-
Someone stole the task manager from the one I'm using. haha
That actually works out better for me anyway. I prefer to use Schap's Advanced Task Manager.
edit2-
If anyone else is annoyed by the white bar that appears when you click on the start menu (or an item in the start menu) in some of the PDAVIET releases, this fix worked for me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3127544&postcount=2757

I have the blue theme one that i believe is his (microlab) most current release and call me retarted but i cannot for the life of me get mms to work(on any of his roms). I downloaded the network wizard cab you posted and followed the steps and reset and still nothing. . .i can get internet to work fine which to me says that network config worked but no mms. Also on this rom threaded sms is messed up lol but if you go to advanced config and disable it the rom is otherwise sound!
Thanks again

Yeah I ran into that problem with the threaded SMS as well. I don't want to disable it so now I'm working on building some cab files so that I can stick his blue theme into a different build that has a working threaded SMS.

Network wizard, then Aserg arcsoft, then t-mobile mms. Reset after each. Some times even if you do it it does not seem to work right away so just re-install them all again. This last build I had to do it 3 times on my friends phone before the MMS worked. Also make sure you change all the settings in the network wizard. Oh and I think it has a problem when install on the device or sd card, I think that was what finally got it to work this last time. Sorry I was a bit drunk.

Yeah, I was going to build a cab file containing all of the blue themed stuff (including phone canvas, random access, volume control, m2d, etcetera). If you know of one that has already been built, that would be even better.

MMS Starts New Thread

My brother has a vzx TP2 and is having a problem that I can't find the answer to. I don't experience the same issue on my AT&T TP2 so I came here. His phone starts a new thread for every MMS he receives instead of showing the mms in an already existing thread from the same contact. For example when he sends me a number of sms they are all in one thread, then he sends a pic and in the same thread i get a little icon that i click on to open his mms. On his phone the icon is not in the same thread, his phone starts a new thread for each mms he recieves. I have searched the forums and not found anything (could be my search parameters) and I have scoured my phones settings to see if that is a setting. Now I know I have WM 6.5 and he is on 6.1 but my last phone had 6.1 and is functioned like mine does now, so I have to assume that this is either a vzx problem or a problem specific to his phone. Any ideas?

It's not a problem just the way it is. Which sucks by the way if you get a load of mms's, really disorganizes my inbox.
Posted this before to see if someone might know if it was recodeable but my post got treated like it had the swine flu! It's def a problem with the arcsoft mms software. I had an omnia with a different version of arcsoft and it worked fine.
Dont think you can port the version over though, way to integrated in the manilla system. I hate manilla, all spb ms3 for me.

Thats interesting to know. we both run spb ms3.5 and while mine runs well, his has the aforementioned problem and he also has an issue with the messaging program freezing and not opening requiring a soft reset. Does your messaging refuse to open sometimes as well?

I have the same issue with Sprint so it must be a CDMA thing. On my TP I ran an extracted version of arcsoft from the treo pro to fix it but tried installing on the TP2 and it doesn't deliver messages.

What version of arcsoft does the cdma tp2 come with?

Mine is showing version 5.0.94.128

Hmmmm unless I am looking at the wrong thing I am showing composer version 5.2.0.37 from arcsoft. Of course I have WM6.5 and a GSM version of the phone.

That would definitely be a reason there are differences. Did you check your brother's to find out what version it is running?

I am waiting for his reply. I do find it odd that my last phone (kaiser) when I upgraded it to 6.1 from the AT&T official release my arcsoft messaging client worked fine....I may have to see what version it is when I get home.

hmmm....I sort of just noticed this issue myself. I'm running the Verizon TP2 and it does indeed put MMS in a seperate thread. I'd be interested in a fix as well if anyone finds one.

Is there any kind of Solution to this my TP2 does the same thing every MMS is a New Thread and like chetqwerty said it really disorganizes the Inbox.

I actually thought this was done purposely. It was the same for me in 6.1 (6.5 too) on my TP2 and XV6800. I am used to it so I have no problem with it and I think its easier then going through tons of threads to find a pic or video.
