i am running wm6 most beautiful addition on my g4 cid locked device and i cant get the mms to work if by any chance anyone has figure this out on t mobile USA it would be greatly appreciated..or if they could re right the guide that t mobile has that would be fantastic.
http://tmobileus.wdsglobal.com/mms?...mobileNumber=&captchaEnabled=true&service=mms
thats the t-mobile guide
thanks in advance
The T-Mobile guide is written for a device still using a T-Mobile ROM which is why it doesn't seem to make sense when you're using WM6.
I have an MDA and I've also had issues getting MMS to work under any WM6 ROM I've tried so far.
If anyone has any suggestions...
Dave
The TMobile Settings Guide in that link WILL still work. I am running Faria's WM6 ROM (quite happily I might add), just did the TMo settings myself on my CID unlocked TMo MDA about half an hour ago and MMS is now working again.
Just do EXACTLY what the directions say and your MMS will work again.
I did EXACTLY word for word and my MMS still not working...it starts to send then just dies out....and msg is moved to the drafts folder.

I have to ask since I had the same problem at first...
Did you try a manual power cycle (not pressing the soft reset button on the side or a software soft reset but actually pressing the power button for 3 seconds, letting it sit off for a few seconds and turning it back on)?
I found that with the Faria ROM, to get some changes to "stick" you have to power cycle your MDA after each and every change. Takes a while and it's a PITA, but it has solved 99% of the problems that I was having with the ROM.
If you HAVE done that already, then I dunno what to tell you guys...my condolences? JK but there has to be a permanent fix or a CAB out there somewhere...
Well, I hadn't tried the full reset was just doing a soft reset. Tried it and still same. I don't know what the issue is....lot of people are not able to send MMS. Text messaging works fine. I'll just keep trying to mess with it and hope someone finds a solution before I do.

I finally remembered what the "deal" is... the MMS instructions for TMobile has a minor error:216.155.165.050 should be:216.155.165.50
Note the lack of the zero before the .50
Give it a whirl, let me know.
--M
PS I added it to the Wiki for the next time I forget how to fix it.
Hmmm... I'll have to give that a shot. I've been using the 050 per the steps and all it would do when I tried to send a test MMS was move the message to the drafts folder and never send it.
I've got the normal T-Mobile ROM on my MDA right now and I plan on flashing it over to the Faria ROM later on today.
I'll post the results when I'm able to test it.

.50 NOT .050 : BUT Crossbow receives SMALL MMS pictures
I agree. I ran into the same problem with my very first Crossbow rom. Changing the server gateway is 216.155.165.50
NOTE it ends in .50 not .050 . This worked for me
BIG problem with crossbow roms right now: Receiving pictures messages are VERY small. They will be downsized to 160x120 and less than 15kb. 'til this day i still haven't figured out how to fix that. At first i thought it was the Arcsoft registry settings, but i have meddled through the arcsoft registry settings so many times. I think there is something else in the crossbow roms that is capping the receiving size. I have set all receiving registry settings to receive pictures in their original form or 640x480, but they still keep coming at 160x120. You can test this by sending a picture to yourself (note its size before sending it) or having someone else send you a picture. Good luck!
Hot Diggity Dawg!!
It worked like a charm. Sweeeet! Thanks for the help. I didn't even think about the server being wrong, I figured T-Mobile knew what they were doing. Guess not. XDA Dev got 'em beat.
Yep, using .50 instead of .050 worked fine for me here, too. Thanks!
Dave
are you able to send and receive? i am only able to receive. i have followed the instructions and am still not ablt to send. i am using the t-zones plan with proxy...

I sent to my old Verizon phone (which is still working until the 23rd so I've been using it as a test phone lately) and it worked fine. I sent a picture I took with the Verizon phone to the MDA and it received. However, I did get the 160x220 or whatever size it is on the MDA. It works, though. I'll worry about other issues later.
Something I am noticing now is that whenever I connect using IE, it uses the MMS profile I set up instead of the GRPS one I set up first. It works, so no big deal. I guess.

Outgoing files from the MDA will be in full size. But for some reason, with the new crossbow roms, all INCOMING pictures will the thumbnail size (160x120). This is NOT normal. If you use the standard roms, or Xelecins Custom 2.26 rom, you will notice that you get the full size image. I have been trying to find a fix for this ever since the first cooked crossbow WM6 rom... its annoying
Incoming Picture Size Setting
My friend just sent me a picture through MMS and it cam through at 320x240. How is this possible you ask? Under your MMS configuration, >preferences
There is a drop down menu that allows you to choose the photo resolution. Just pick "orignal" instead of the default setting

ok, so i set this up on my TYTN (with WM6, thx to this sweet forum).
a buddy with a moto q on sprint tried to send me a pic, but it came as a text with a http link (to sprintpcs.com). i suspect that issue was on his end.
heres the kicker - i hit the link, and IE opened, and went to the page, even though I had wlan off (i.e. it used the picturemessage connection to get there)! i tried going to google, and that worked as well! is this some form of t-zones or tmobileweb? i only have the 1000 min family plan, and i don't have any internet services added to my account. could this actually be some form of simple free proxy-based web browsing?
...or am I going to get bent over on my next bill for some previously unknown pay-by-the-kb-or-minute fees...
please advise.

Mine has been set to original and on occasion 640x480. It makes no difference. They all come in at 160x120 or smaller. Are you sure u're using crossbow WM6? Cuz so far, i've been hearing other ppl with the same problem. We all have our settings at "Original"
All pics coming in to me with MBE, mUn, and Faria WM6 roms come to me 160x120 (and I've had a couple come in smaller than that even). I'm set to Original, and I've even changed it to other settings and back again. Can't seem to figure out why this is happening.

Thanks for the reply. Does the per minute data usage work the same as the voice usage (i.e. if I have unlimited nights and weekends for voice, would the same apply to data)? Or is this a seperate rate? Is there a page detailing this at the T-Mobile site somewhere? I searched for the better part of an hour and could find no specifics.
Thanks in advance.

Through four different ROMs (Xplore 1.1, 2.0, and CB RL, currently using 2.0 BB), I've repeatedly had the same issues when everything is loaded and done:
1. In MMS, when trying to Send/Receive, I get an error "Error Synchronizing". Now the messages do seem to go through, if I create one and send it to myself I get the message back, but I'd like to understand why I still get this error.
Q: Is there a "event viewer" or error log that can help identify the issue?
2. Unable to receive emails from Cingular Media Mall to download purchases.
Observation: After requesting the download from the Cingular Media Mall website, the CPU utilization goes up to 30% for a few seconds, then back to 1 or 2%, as if it is seeing an incoming message, but can't accept it? Text messaging seems to work okay, such as *646# or just a phone to phone message.
I've attached the CABs that I've found that set internet / MMS settings, and I've verified them against the Cingular site and what I have on the phone.
I've done as suggested in other threads, to take the newly flashed phone, and before doing anything else, install the MMS and internet settings and try it - but it responds exactly the same.
I've taken the SIM and tried it in my stock 3125, and both work fine, as well with the stock WM5 official rom in the Wizard.
Hmmm...
Just loaded the Crossbow Faria Edition, and the SMS from Cinguar worked. I had gone through the SMS settings a few times, but it sure appears that's where the issue was. I'll dig through the settings to see what's different. There may be hope afterall...
As far as MMS goes, there wasn't a MMS config, so I ran the WAP cab, and tried MMS again. Still the same sync error still came up, though it sent and received is okay.
Same goes on T-Mobile. I seem to receive MMS' just fine but I'm not sure how long ago the person sent it. Last night, it took about 20 minutes to receive the MMS I sent her.
Update
Well, it seems the Faria Crossbow definetly is a step in the right direction, in that now the SMS appears to be working correctly.
There's still a hitch though with the Media Mall though, in that once you click on the link, you get an error message in the browser that says "an unexpected error has occured". Also still haven't nailed the MMS sync error yet.
I still wonder why I bother, but I hate when something doesn't work...
Going to flash back to a more vanilla rom though, too much stuff...
I had this issue as well. the cab files weren't actually installing the mms settings. i had to put them in manually and the sync issue went away.
Gotta be magic...?
Okay, tried Xplore 2.0 again, and still can't get the MMS/SMS settings right. The MMS cab adds the GPRS settings or MEdia and My ISP, but couldn't get SMS working. Arrg!
Starting to feel like this shouldn't be so darn hard, but I went back to the Faria Crossbow rom, which has all the setings included and working. Even tried to cook my own rom, but don't understand enough about adding stuff to get it right.
Maybe there's a way to extract an XML with all of the networks settings for all modems from an existing phone?
i use the p_conn..... cab. I have never had an issue with sms or gprs/edge using this cab. With MMS, i have to set the server info manually.
Have you manually checked to see if an mms server is listed or does it only have a sample server or no server at all?
Are you using My ISP or Media Net as your internet network?

I honestly don't get it. All I run after flashing is the first cab in your post. MMS, GPRS, and SMS all work for me after that. I don't do anything else. Have you tried to call Cingular to ask them (but not telling them you are on a custom rom of course).
I've used that cab on NTS, Xplore 1.1, Faria Vanilla beta, and now my rom successfully.
btw, what radio are you running? Make sure you are using the Tmo 2.19 UK one with Cingular on WM6.

It is strange, because I took your advice and tried adding the cab you referenced after a fresh flash, but it only gave me GPRS, but no SMS. (I always do a clear memory after flashing just to be sure before adding/changing anything, including this cab). The only time I've gotten everything is with Faria's Crossbow - which I'm back to currently.
I'm running the 2.19 radio, and it's definetly better than the 2.25 that comes with the factory rom out here.
I've you've got a recipie that seems to work, please pass it on and I'll give it a try. I'm guessing it's the following process-
Reflash back to the official Cingular RUU
Flash the 2.19 TM radio (this seems the only time I can get the loader to work)
Flash the vanilla rom of choice (your remix or Xplore 2.0)
Clear Mem
Install cab
and it should work - or it works for you? These are similar steps to what I've been doing up to going back to Faria's, but maybe I'm missing something.
I have tried to mess around with 6.1 lately and for some reason I am not able to figure this out.....
I get everything working, for what I think but then I keep having problems with the MMS. I will send my wife a test message and it takes over 3 hours to get to her. When I am running WM6 with radio 1.27.14.09 it works fine, takes less then 2 minutes to get to her phone.
Now before you start grilling me, I have done a google search. I have found problems such as
1. unable to send at all - not my problem
2. MMS not working - not my problem again (works just really slow)
3. Use this cab, use that cab, I have tried them all they don't change the issue
4. Make sure your going through MEdiaNet - I am
So what I am asking, is anyone else experiencing this problem???? The only thing I have looked into is it possibly an arcsoft issue???
I don't know if this will help, but I'm finding that with the 6.1 roms on AT&T that if you allow the Network Configurator to run, various things don't seem to work quite right. I was having issues with WeatherPanel not working on the AT&T network. I've now flashed 3 different 6.1 roms in the last couple of days and did not allow the network config to setup the AT&T settings, and then disabled it (when the next screen came up). After doing this, I then ran the remove hidden proxy cab and the WAP/MMS setup cab and then did a soft reset. Now MMS works fine (I never had the 3 hour delay you described, but I did have other issues with MMS on some of the roms) and WeatherPanel also now works (haven't had a problem with it in over 24 hours where before it might or might not work, then would stop working a few hours later).
Like I said, may not help your situation, but something to consider and try.
NOTE: The method I just laid out will NOT set up isp.cingular. Only Cingular GPRS and MEdiaNet. This is how I used to always run my Wizard and dumped the $40 per month PDA Connect plan for the $20 per month Unlimited MEdiaNet.
I could hug you!!!! Oh my god, do you feel my love...do you feel me humping your leg!!!!!! It worked,,,,absolutely amazing....Thank you!!!!
Glad it worked for you, but wow, not sure about the extent of the emotion you are sending in my direction... LOL
So for future people that hit this, did you remove the other settings, just install these two cabs, hard reset and follow my above directions, or what? Just curious myself as I'd like to get to the bottom of what goes wrong (or is missed) with the Network Configuator process for AT&T.
To tell you the truth, it stopped working later that night!! I had Dutty's ROM installed , hard reseted , installed the two cabs and it worked. Then I tried sending another pic to make sure it worked about 10 minutes later.... I took 5 hours to get to my wifes phone....
It has to do something with the radio's. I tried a bunch and none work. I'll just wait till the Official 6.1 comes out for ATT and look at the settings.....
Thanks anyways!!!
if your phone said message sent then it arrived 3 hours later to the recipient then its a network problem not really to do with your phone but just incase look at other radios.

Looks like this just changes some TCP parameters and such. Is that correct? So you would use this in addition to the WAP MMS cab I posted earlier I assume.

It changes some TCP parameters and puts in the IP header compression and the DNS servers.
I really do not know what the problem is.... those didn't work either. It honestly might be something in my area, South Florida. I tried with the new radio, those files and vice versa. I am dumfounded.
As soon as I flashed back to 6.0 and used the 1.27 radio it sends immediately. It must have something to do with the radio and my area.
I appreciate all the assistance
I have the same problem. I received my tytn II 2 days ago. Previously I used the se K800i. With the k800i, there was never a problem when sending sms messages. Always very fast to send and receive but now on my kaiser, it takes a long time before my messages are received or till I receive an sms message.
Still on the stock rom version 1.56.404.6
radio: 1.27.12.32
Windows mobile 6 professional.
ok i have searched and searched on this website, so dont give me a hard time about me not reading or searching... i am running the basic energy rom (cookie i guess) july 1st 2010 version. there are plenty of threads about how to fix the mms but they dont sound like my problem AND THERE IS NO DEFINATIVE ANSWER OF HOW TO FIX IT. my phone acknowledges that there is a mms msg, and tells me the senders name (outlook sms) but it will not download. it attemps, but sits steady at 0%... will keep retrying all day long. will sum1 please walk me through this step by step, this was my first flash and i wasnt aware of this issue b4 i flashed. HELP HELP HELP PLEASE!!!!!!
oh, btw i downloaded the Disable Manila Messaging .cab, and then installed the Verizon MMS 2.5 fix.cab, to no avail... still doing the same exact thing. i tried this first, and i thought i might have done something wrong, so i hard reseted the damn thing and did it over.... same thing. tampered with alll the settings on this **** ass app trying to get it to work as well. and man this app really does SUCK. F. F. F. F. F. ANY help at ALL would be VERY much appreciated people!
yall are SOOOO helpful! THANKS...... well for future reference, for anyone that has this problem, it fixes itself in a few days.
Verizon MMS Help
Try these cabs, they should solve all of your problems, they worked like magic for me because I have Verizon too... For better and faster help w/ a CDMA TP2 try PPCGeeks!
I've never had to install any additional cabs to get MMS working on any of NRG's rom.
As long as I did the carrier provisioning for Verizon under "Tools" it has worked.
Finally got my MMS back

Can anyone please show me a thread for the Boost Mobile flashed phones like the HTC TP2 where I can get help? I have a Boost flashed tp2 on energy ROM as well and I got the mms fix cab on my phone. I can send and receive pic mail but when my hubby gets the pic mail from me, its like blank! Can anyone explain that to me? I have the Arcsoft software too which is the mms fix.
Hi all,
I'm having a bit of trouble with my milestone xt720. I can't get any gingerbread based ROM to work with 3g/MMS correctly. I've tried fjfalcon's CM7, J.Y.Daddy's CM7, HONO, Ice&Fire... I can't get any connections trying to send MMS. Yet, when I use CM6, Bravo or even MIUIv4, my mms is working.
I've tried applying Wind baseband, tried flashing brightpoint and UK sbfs incase that was the issue to no avail.
Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
Any WIND xt720 users have anything similar? I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong...
And even when I'm on CM6, the MMS/Data only works if I flick data on and off. Otherwise, my mms will just sit in messaging (with no notification!) with a link to download.
any help is greatly appreciated!
Hey there. First things first: what are your steps to set up the ROM? Do you always flash, factory reset? Or do you flash the SBF?
Did you also set up your APN settings after flashing an SBF? More information would be good
I usually restore to a nandroid of the stock WIND config, then boot into OR, apply updates then factory reset/ clear cache. However, I was afraid that was the problem, so I tried flashing both the UK SBF and Brightpoint SBF with fjfalcon's CM7.2 and neither have worked either.
My APNs remain after I flash, for some reason. I've tried re-entering them too.
you need to set the APN first
else it's not going to work
what is currently shown on your APN list?

So, just to clarify: this issue is more related to you sending/receiving MMS rather than related to 3G data at all?
I only use CM6, and I have the same issues with receiving MMS. The fact that there is a quick workaround (as you have described, turning data on and off) means that I don't really consider this a problem. Sending MMS works fine for me: you can see the quick 3G turning off and on again when it sends successfully.
I don't really have enough experience with CM7 roms to say anything, maybe others could chime in here?

Well, I guess, but in those instances where I can't send MMS, I can't get a data signal either. To be honest, I'd be fine with this on&off mms thing if the camera on CM6.3.6 was more stable... the reason why I want to switch up to CM7 is 'cause the camera was more stable for me.
Could anyone would has gotten CM7 to work on Wind with 3G chime in?
Thanks!
update
I just tried flashing ChronosX and as expected, MMS and data don't work. This was a fresh install from SBF and the APNs was checked to be correct.
Does anyone else experience this?
I just flashed brianlili's CronosX RC2 and I was able to send an MMS no problem. The 3G went off and on like it usually does. Also got one of my friends to send an MMS (he's on Fido), and with the same behavior I got his MMS too.
I also tried this on fjfalcon's CM 7.2.0 (yes, I was on a ROM spree today haha) with the same success. The same 3G off/on behavior occurred as well.
It may help if you redescribe your problem again, in a bit more clarity?
Thanks for replying.
When I'm using a gingerbread ROM, and I try to send an MMS, it'll just keep saying "Service is not available, etc". I can't receive MMS either, I just get the link to download it, which returns the same error. The 3G never turns on at all.
I made sure that I an using correct APNs and that Data is on. I try flicking it on and off too like on CM6 to no avail. Is there something I'm forgetting?
Thanks
