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.

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.

" 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 )

Sever name : T-mobile MMS
Gateway : 216.155.165.50
Port number : 8080

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.
I can not beg, borrow or steal O2 to get settings for my Palm Treo 750 (windows mobile 5) to get on the internet! It is unlocked. I have tried various wap and password settings that I have found from them and online.
I have called O2 tech support which is really unimpressive because it seems they simply will not let you go up the ladder of support to get to someone that can answer the problem. I have been on palm.com website using online live support and palm says O2 must give the settings. O2 curiously tells me Palm must give me the settings. Anyone have any experience with this and know the settings? Know where to look? Me like you long time if you can help out.
thanks
I can give you my setting and it is not O2
You can ask O2 for the right setting.

I was wondering did that solution that was given work for your phone cause it didn't for me. If it didn't work have your found out how to resolve the issue cause i haven't fixed mine yet.
thanks
Hi everyone..
I know radio performance varies greatly depending on your geographical location, but I use a smaller carrier that only operates in 1 state... (well, I can roam around the US, but only home area is 1 state)... After playing around with MANY roms & radios, this is what I found...
I am using a US Cellular branded Touch Pro 2....
I am using the "Energy.RHODCDMA.21911.Sense2.5.Cookie.Jul.24" rom w/ the "VZW_1.88.07WV" radio... I get the highest level of signal with this radio.. At home, I wa typicalls gettign 0-2 bars.. now I get 3-5... Also, as an added suprise.. my battery life has tripled (And I am still using it just as much, if not more).... I was very happily suprised and shocked... Also, the GPS seems to lock in pretty quickly too right out of the box....
You still need to manualyl set up your internet and MMS settings with this (and all) rom... and the settings are for the newest Airfire/Einstein settings...
first off, of course make sure you turn CDMA off and only GSM on... (not world phone mode)...
1. Start
>Settings
>Connections Tab
>Connections
2. Add New Connection
3. Enter name for connection “Airfire Internet”
>Under select modem select “Cellular Line (GPRS)”
>Next
4. Enter access point name> internet.air.net
>Next
5. Leave User name, Password and Domain all blank
> tap Finish
E-Mail
1. Start>Messaging
2. On messaging screen select Menu in bottom right corner and go to options
3. Select Outlook E-mail from list
4. Under server address enter> webmail.airadigm.com
>check the box for SSL connection
>Next
5. Enter in your user name and password for your e-mail
>enter airadigm under domain
>check box for save password
>Next
6. Select what you want your phone to sync with on your PC
> Finish
7. Start
>Settings>Connections tab> Comm Manager
>Turn on Data Connection and Microsoft Direct Push
8. Wait a few minutes and your e-mail should sync with your PC
MMS
1. Start> Messaging> SMS/MMS> Menu in right corner> MMS Options
2. Servers tab> New> Airfire MMS
>leave gateway blank> Port: 8080
>Server address: http://mms.airfiremobile.com/+1(10 digit number)
> Under Connect via select Airfire Internet
>Done Note: You must add the +1 before your number
3. When screen returns to the settings page after entering MMS settings set your MMS settings you just created as default.
I hope this helps everyone who has airfire... or even people just looking for a great rom/radio combination that gives good battery life!
