Sorry for the title but i am trying to make this thread as "findable"?? as possible , in case it answers a really bugging problem I and i think a lot of others have after researching into this!
I have been using a Hermes (black majick windows mobile 6 ROM) and now a Kaiser (HTC's own WM6 English ROM) on O2 and i have never been able to receive full screen pictures/photos via mms. I can send them ok and others receive them full screen on phones like HTC, sony, etc.
For example, my sister has a Hermes - Trion from O2 with WM6 and she can receive full screen mms from me. When she or anyone else sends me a mms file which might 50kb, i receive it as a tiny image and it is shrunk down to 3-5kb.
So i am guessing there is something that needs to change in my MMS settings/registry, but i have no idea where and what it could be.
Can anyone shed some light on this please?
Would appreciate this a lot as my wife keeps sending me mms photos at work of our new born baby and the size of the photos are no bigger than my thumb very depressing
I have similar annoyances but in my case it's due to the operator. We have only two GSM operators here in Oman.
One operator allows VGA-sized photos in MMS messages, up to 100KB in size but they also charge a lot for each MMS. (100 KB for a VGA-sized photo gives quite good quality.)
The other operator always shrinks all photos to thumbnail size, usually not more than 10KB in size but they are cheap! But cheap is not always good. For the peanuts we're paying for their MMS messages we get sh*t!
i have used opentouch 5.2 for quite some time and have absolutely loved it. the interface is fantastic. tried out 7.1 today to see if it would fix the "unable to send message" error that I receive when trying to send email via smtp that many people are experiencing with wm6.1.
i am so fed up that I have put back on a tmobile wm6 rom, without threaded sms, without all of the cool features the cooked roms offer, just so I don't have to delete and re-add my 2 email accounts 4-5 times a day because they quit letting me send email after only a little while of being set up anew.
arghh... has anyone found a fix for this?

Hi,
mms/sms is working on my v7.1 rom, I have no issues using it and most of my users are not having issues.
Please direct your questions in the original thread so we can help you.
SMTP issues - not SMS
I don't use any of these roms yet, so I have no input on a fix.... but it looks like he is talking about SMTP not working correctly - not SMS - so... basically... his emails stop sending after a short while and he has to re-configure his email settings constantly to be able to send his emails.... sounds very annoying - is this a common problem? (makes me think twice about flashing my phone to a 6.1 rom as I use email almost constantly for business)
Yes this is a very annoying problem especially when you store a lot of mails on your device and finally one day it stops sending.
Alternatives like Flex Mail are too slow..
Regards,
Carty..

Thats strange,
I guess I must have misread it, I've always sync my mail with my companies exchange server and never had any issues.

Same here, except I use the free Mail2Web. I rarely if ever have used anything but exchange on these phones.
Ill test using smtp. Exchange works fine.
Edit: working fine so far will test more.
Working fine here
I've been using email a lot on my phone, worked fine for a good six months now with the 6.1 roms. OTP6.5 still being used here... I love the simplicity and stability of HTC home.
yeah it's not an SMS/MMS issue, it's an SMTP issue.
are there any WM6 cooked roms (not wm6.1) that include the WM6.1 threaded SMS system?

No. It's integrated into WM6.1 that I know off.
SMTP Works fine in WM6.1
I have been using WM6.1 Cooked ROMS for a while now and all 6 of my SMTP email accounts work just fine. Never have had to reset anything to use it, only time I have had sending issues are in areas with weak signals and large emails.
i can set up a pop/smtp account in my device with a wm6.1 cooked rom and it will work great for a few hours or a few days sometimes, but inevitably i will get an error message about "unable to send" and after that 1 time of receiving the error message it will *NEVER* send email again on that account until I delete it and re-add the account (and re-write all the emails stuck in my outbox).
It may not be the ROM, I have this problem with 6.0 & 6.1 Official ATT ROMs.
Hi trevorcobb,
I have the same problem you described with email.
I have it on my Tilt, running Official ATT WM6.0 and WM6.1 ROMs. It's VERY ANNOYING!
I've tried POP3 and IMAP4 configurations of my gmail accounts, without luck.
I've tried using different networks, no luck.
I've deleted and recreated my email accounts in my Tilt, and it temporarily fixes the problem, until a few weeks or days later my emails stop going out.
I've looked for help in the Gmail Forums, and other places and found very little.
It seems odd that it should work for a while and then stop, without any warning.
I'll keep working on it, and let me know if anyone knows what causes this or how to fix it permanently.

The OP noted the exact problem - smtp-, not exchange server-based accounts. If the links above describe the problem accurately, it appears that you will not see this problem unless you have timed out an email send request via smtp.
Allegedly there is a fix on way - not holding my breath...
It is possible to add much of the 6.1 functionality to 6.0 - like threaded sms. Some folks report that they have gotten manilla/touchflo2d working as well.
Some kaiser chefs are threatening to go back to cooking 6.0 ROMs - see here which were all faster than the bloated 6.1s anyway.
Nevertheless, hoping to see a fix or update from WM - how would you like to be rocking a Diamond or Touch HD and have this problem?
Cheers,

PROBLEM WITH MMS PICTURE MESSAGING
When i receive a picture message it says something like 150 kb then i press download...then when i go to look at the picture that it downloads its somewhere around 3-6kb and super tiny...is there any 3rd party mms messengers that I can use? HTC could not help me at all...and Tmobile couldn't help me either...both companies were dumbfounded. I have a HTC Fuze unlocked from ATT but using it on Tmobile...any help would be appreciated.
I'm bumping this one up to the top too. I'm having the same problem. I can send them at 150k, but receive them as 5k. I had the same issue with my 8525 until I found 2 cabs that fixed the problem. I haven't found anything for this Fuze yet.
I flashed the EliteRC4 and my MMS is working properly. I'm not sure what the difference is in the Chrome ROM and EliteRC4 ROM, but MMS works properly for me on T-Mobile now.
Picture MMS Messaging on WM6.5 for Raphael (AT&T Fuze) on TMobile
Has anyone been able to figure out the picture messaging (MMS) on any WM6.5 ROM for the AT&T Fuze that actually receives the pictures at full size instead of thumbnails on T-Mobile for the US?
I haven't been able to flash one WM6.5 ROM yet that the MMS works like it's supposed to and actually receives the pictures full size.
I found a fix for the thumbnail size MMS pictures
Here we go, I found the fix for the small MMS pics. Install this cab, soft reset the phone and it worked for me.
Thank you so much.
O2 MMS
Hi, I have searched all over XDA for a solution, and none so far have worked. I can only receive pictures at 3k no matter how big they are sent. I've tried the above .cab file and no joy.
Please Please Please can somebody help.
I'm running TCP's V3.1ROM with manilla 2.1, win 6.5 build 23017 hybrid & Radio 1.14.25.05 with O2 pre pay.
Hi guys, I had a HTC S710 running windows mobile 6.1 - that you guys hacked (New phone comming soon - S710 broke:-() and I wondered if you could make a few things clear for me?:
Firstly, I set up my hotmail and a few other email accounts, and ever since when I went the reply in threaded text I got two error messages, one of which saying "This account is encrypted. Please try again on a different account..." (Something like that - definatly to do with emailing but its been along time I can't remember exactly!), and the only way I could text is too read it then go back to contacts and send from there! Is this a common problem/has anyone else had this? Is there a fix?
Secondly, my new phone will be running windows mobile 6.5 and I just wondered if the same thing will happen on that. If it will is there a fix on WM6.5?
Now, I like threaded messaging but if there is absolutly no other fix, I dont mind living with out it!

Thankyou for moving my post for me, I wasn't sure in the first place! Sorry!
Hi,
This may have been asked before but I cannot find an answer to this on these forums.
I'm using windows mobile 6.5 (recently updated to the 'official' 2.53 rom) on an HTC touch diamond 2.
Whenever I get an SMS from someone (say 'bob') I've previously had an SMS from, when I click in the new messages icon, it does not show the new message. It stays on the previous message from bob, and I have to scroll up to view the new message. Very irritating.... and especially bad if there have been other messages (from different people) between the last message from bob and the most recent one. I guess this is a problem with the 'conversation' threading.
I can't believe HTC broke this, something so fundamentally straight forward. If anyone understands what I'm describing, maybe there is a registry tweak you are aware of which fixes this? However I've seen a few comments in these forums that the HTC messaging is quite crappy, so I'm not holding my breath...
Thanks in advance
