MMS Help - General Questions and Answers

Hi all. Here's my question. I have tried a few different ROMs on my HTC Touch Pro and am in love with the current one I have. However, I just noticed that I can't send or receive MMS with it. Is there some app I can download to get around this, or will I have to deal with it or get another ROM? Thanks for all your answers

Moved as not software release.

New HTC Fuze Official ROM Released

I didn't see any news about this here so... It seams like HTC has released an update for the AT&T Fuze. According to the HTC Support site, here's what's included:
Microsoft's Windows Mobile Adaptation Kit Update (AKU) 1.4.6
Slide to Answer
Push To Talk Button is now re-assignable
FM Radio Application
Enhanced MS Voice Command
Call waiting indicator is now audible when using Speakerphone
HTC Music player supports Album art/info
Improved TouchFlo3D (TF3D) and User Interface performance
A-GPS Update: Speeds up the time it takes the GPS to get a fix on your location
Quick GPS is still recommended for the optimal operation of GPS based applications and services
The update can be found here.
But... what does it take to actually download it? I have a 3-month old Fuze in the US, but when I plug in my S/N - it says that it isn't for my Fuze?

I have the same issue. Tried it twice. Any ideas?
Same here. I just got through sending HTC an email about it. My fuze is only about 2 weeks old.
Same Problem -
"Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device."
The phone is less than a year old and it makes me want to reach for an iPhone.

Looks like someone called HTC and was told it would not be up until 12:01 EST. however it is after that now. Guess I will try again after midnight pacific.

It's obvious you're a closet IPhone lover. Quit denying yourself the pleasure of not having to post here ever again.... Go buy an Iphone... go go go go!
just a question
i jst updated my rom with a rom from this site will this new rom from htc work? and will it return my phone back to the factory settings? cuz this new rom from raphael the fuzeberry is awsome
Still saying not for my device
Oh well, hopefully later today
This is the response I got from HTC.
"Hello Shannon, Thank you for your inquiry about the HTC Fuze. We would be happy to assist you with that information. However, we are experiencing an issue in the download of the update for the Fuze. We are aware of the issues and do apologize for the inconveniences. We are working on getting the issue resolved at the current time. We do ask that you allow 24 hrs and then retry to download the software. If after the 24 hr period you are still experiencing issues in downloading the software then please let us know. Again we do apologize for the inconveniences and appreciate your patience in resolving this issue. Shannon, I hope we have answered your question in detail. Feel free to contact us again if you have any further questions. HTC Technical Support http://www.htc.com http://www.htcwiki.com."
Can't download Official ROM either
I have a FUZE I purchased in February, same issue with not accepting my S/N. I know I will be a candidate for the new ROM so hopefully, the issue as described above from HTC support will prove to be accurate and we can download in a relative short time. I am really excited to try this new Official ROM as I am not comfortable flashing the ROM's that are available otherwise. I just don't have enough technical background to feel like I can do it without the real risk of bricking my FUZE.
HTC Fuze support site is down...
For now, they are probably fixing the issue with the S/N error because the support sub-site for the HTC Fuze is down.
why would you guys want a rom that weve had the updates for months? and 6.5 is already working great for us plus without all the att junk?

I concur! There really is no reason to downgrade to this rom....

It could have some updated drivers and it looks like it has a new radio in it. That's the main benefit of getting this.
I wouldn't downgrade to 6.1, even if it has "new stuff"....won't take the cooks very long to extract any new stuff, and add it to the 6.5 roms

I agree, that's what I meant by my post...once someone gets their hands on it and can extract the goodies
Well, this ROM is appreciated regardless
I think custom ROMs are sweet, and I am a big fan of 6.5. But, I personally kinda like official releases, despite 6.1 and the AT&T crapware. I'll probably end up installing a 6.5 rom anyway if AT&T doesn't make one, or if AT&T's really sucks. Besides, I am overloaded with MS betas on my PC and phone.
Does anyone know when it will be downloadable again? The link seems to be down again or is there another place to find it?
If this allows the MS voice command to say the name of the caller, then I'm all for this update.

This has been an issue with a few carriers. It is how the carriers set up mms there are a few fixes for T-Mobile but nothing for sure. If the apns don't work and 3rd party apps don't work then it may not be fixable
i really dont know anything but i just messed around with the apn and pic got a lil better and bigger now if i were to get my phone rooted will there be a better chance to mess with the settings? ive read other members fix the problem but wish i can get some help

The best help you will get it by searching and reading. As this only happens on carriers that the phone was not made for like T-Mobile and some other small time carriers. Rooting alone may not allow you to do it but a custom rom might.
ok..i had a normal size mms right now but i dont know wut i did so im trying to figure out how i had it but i will take ur advise and just keep reading and researching thanks!
still no luck on fixing my small MMS on my HTC 4g simple mobile
I would try rooting your phone and try a stable ROM that is out there. I prefer Android Revolution HD because there is not much in the way of noticeable user interface. It is very smooth and stable..
i really dont know about rooting or anyone that roots phones

[Q] HTC HD 2 win 7 problems HELP

Hi Guys
sorry if this has been posted before ..
I have successfully loaded win 7 on my hd2 and even managed to get the code to register live ...
everytime i go onto market place and try download something it says
"cant get this information at the moment check again in a little while"
its been saying this all night now and am at my wits end with it
anyone help please
Thanks
Ste
Have you, perchance, checked the HD2-specific section of this forum? You're running a custom build of an OS that's not supposed to have custom builds on hardware that isn't supposed to run the OS, so some problems are expected. This isn't the best place to get them fixed, though - most people on this part of the site have official WP7 devices. Try the HD2 forums, especially the thread for the ROM you're using.
Yes, you should definitely be in the HD2 forums.
Having done a lot with my HD2 before I bought the Lumia, I can tell you that it matters to know what ROM you're using. Are you able to buy apps via Zune or the windowsphone website?
Have you tried a hard reset?
I used the Back to the Future ROM and only had issues with the marketplace once out of about 12 installs. That issue was related to my liveid and not what you're experiencing at all.
Thanks will look into it

Universal build for both CDMA and GSM

I am posting this here because I received an error message stating that I could not post in the development section. Kabaldan had posted that a universal build was available now for the Photon Q and wanted feedback from those that tested it. I wanted to respond but since I can't in that thread I will do it here and hope he finds it. Anyway, I have installed the universal build and for the most part it works great. The only two issues I have are the same two issues I have found with the official cm10.1, the nightlies of cm10.2, as well as all the other custom roms that are available here for the photon Q. Those two issues are as follows:
1) I am unable to connect to my cellular companies network. I am connected through Sprint. What I want to connect to is CSpire's network since that is the company I have my cellular service with. I do not know how tomake that happen.
2) I am unable to send or receive picture messages. So I have followed the suggestions from other users and tried Go SMS, Chomp SMS, and Handsent SMS. If I have those installed I can receive picture messages, sometimes. It is not everytime but most of the time. But even with those 3rd party apps I am unable to send pictures. I have actually had one sending for an hour and half this morning. My phone kept saying "sending..." so I finally stopped it.
Now I am not sure if the two are related or not. I have read where others have had success sending and receiving witht he 3rd party apps. So I am thinking it is maybe because I am not connected to my cellular companies network. Of course, as far as I know that may have absolutely nothing to do with it. If anybody knows, I would be grateful for advice on how to fix this. Otherwise I can't get the full benefit from a custom rom. Thanks in advance.
1. Is not an issue with the ROM at all. Make sure it works on stock before going to any aftermarket ROM's.
2. If you don't have service, how can you send or receive MMS? Cart before the horse buddy, get your cell service issue sorted first.

Ok, so let me clarify my original post. When I am on the stock ROM I can send and receive MMS. It is when I go to an aftermarket ROM that I am having the issue. I can receive picture messages by using a 3rd party messaging app (such as Handsent) but I cannot send them. I currently do have service. I did not say that I did not have service. I am connected and it says my service provider is Sprint. Sprint is not my cellular company, CSpire is. I can do everything on an aftermarket ROM that I can do on stock ROM except picture messaging. I can surf the web, download apps, watch youtube videos, send and receive email, etc. I was pointing out that my phone states it is connected to Sprint's network and not CSpire's network. I am wondering if there is a difference somehwere that causes picture messaging to not work. That may not have anything to do with it but I am asking so I can rule out all possibilities.

So on stock ROM it says CSpire correctly?
The phone works fine when it says "Sprint" in the notification pulldown in custom ROM's, just MMS is failing? Sounds like an APN issue... I'm not sure you can configure this from the normal settings, you might need to tweak the build.prop to work for CSpire.
Hopefully someone chimes in who has CSpire... I'd say there is a build.prop change needed, which can be made into a flashable zip which all CSpire users can apply after flashing...

You are correct. On stock ROM it says CSpire. And you are also correct in that the phone works fine when it says "Sprint" in the notification pulldown in custom ROM's. And yes it seems at this point that only MMS is failing.
And since I will more than likely screw my phone up if I try to tweak it, I will wait and see if someone who knows what they are doing with CSpire (or knowledge of it) chimes in and offers a solution. Thank you for offering your assistance.
The current worldphone CM 10.2 xt897 build is made for Sprint CDMA/universal SIM modded GSM-UMTS usage.
The C-Spire variant would need at least a few changes to build.prop and different eri.xml overlay.

I'm not positive what these would be. I would also love to see them wrapped up into a flashable ZIP so we don't have to make separate ROM's just for CSpire users.
Shouldn't be too difficult, I just need to know what is different

I assumed that the build came from the original Sprint version and modded to work (or whatever the process was). That must be the same reason the other custom ROM's have the same issue. I appreciate your explanation. Now I know a little more than I already did. Just wish I had the tech know how to help you guys out.

I have no idea how to help but I would be glad to if I can. I will say this.... it might be more trouble than it is worth. CSpire is a very small local company and even though they are still selling the Photon Q online, not many of the stores have them in stock. I only know of one other person who has the phone. So there may not really be that big of a demand for this fix other than me. Everything else works great with these ROM's so I can just use alternative methods for sending pics for now. Thanks again.

lsufan72: To fully support CSpire Photon Q in the new unified CM11 builds should be fairly simple now, but I need to see the content of /proc/cmdline from CSpire Photon Q.
