[Q] MMS problems w Froyo - General Questions and Answers

I installed froyo 2.2 last night and when trying to send or receive picture messages, neither happen.
Phone is a Dream/G1
Kind of a noob so please be detailed. Thanks for any help.

Did you flash it from another carrier or anything?

I am not sure. I didn't check the carrier. I can get mms w my stock messaging app, but not through Handcent. But even with stock MMS, not all pictures come through.
Do you know where I can find a good ROM for Dream/G1 that doesn't eat battery like CN 6 and still runs fast with everything working?
(Carrier is Tmobile)

At&T MMS trouble

Hello everyone
I have been a fan of all cooks in xda-developers. I must say that I have tried every new Roms available.
One thing that keeps me trying the new roms is, can't receive MMS messages.
I am on AT&T in Atlanta area. I can send and receive sms but I can only send MMS messages.
I have used/ tried every radios too with same result.
Even Hyperdragon's AT&T mms hack didn't work.
I have searched and read all kinds of info on this and called AT&T to see if it was provisioned to receive mms. All the things are ok at the AT&T side.
I would love to solve and receive mms messages in the near future with your help.
Thanks guys in advance
sometimes it's a network issue with att. ive had this problem before. you just need to call att and they should be able to fix it. at least they did when my phone wouldnt send or recieve mms.
Ahh..I did that already with no such luck. Matter of fact , I called them 3 times so far. They told me to bring my phone in to do "sim-swap". As you know I can't do that because of " Cooked Rom" in my AT&T Tilt.
theres a link in the wiki explaining how to revert everything back to warranty settings

You can do a SIM-swap. They don't look at the guts of your OS just to change your SIM card.
Also, if you search the forums, there is a cab file that has all the ATT sms and mms settings in it. I use this when ever im having problems.
Also, are you using the default sms program built into WM or are you using an add on threader program?

Here is a customized ATT Settings cab that ATW and myself created that sets up the ATT settings w/o the proxy.
Mod Edit: Also allows creation mode in your MMS settings.
I had the same problem and tried may cabs posted some worked for a day and then failed again which I do not understand why. Finally I found this and it is working for me for a while. Try and see if it works.
I have tried "shogun_cing mms fix" with Hyperdragon. And still not able to receive mms ...dang.
On to try RR AT&T cab. I ll report back.
Maybe post exactly which rom you are using and post your message in that thread? I've had the exact same problem and have since try an MMS 1st thing after flashing to see if I am going to keep a ROM or not. Most new ROM's work since akaDonny went and found the dependency's needed for Arcsoft MMS.

By the way which rom did you use?
Well, after reading this thread last night I realized it's been quite awhile since I'd sent an MMS. Usually when I receive them, it has me go to www.viewmymessage.com. I don't think much of it because of all the flashing I do to my phone. Turns out after adding my settings, I couldn't send or receive MMS either. I called ATT told them my issue and somehow they fixed it again. I was told to turn my cell off and on 3 times and to wait 15 minutes before sending an MMS so that the data they were sending my SIM would fix it.

Well...just got back from AT&T store to do a sim-swap, jumping jelly fish- it's working now.
I am unsure if the sim-swap did the trick or some of the AT&T setting cabs I tried.
One way to find out is to flash other roms to see if it works.
Just can't understand why changing the sim card works....
they didn't have to swap my sim. i don't understand how they couldn't help you over the phone as well. Anyway, looks like your problem was resolved and that's what matters eh?

I used this and it worked as well. However does this have cab any side-effects?

I know the shogun cab usually fixes any problems im having with MMS when i flash a new rom.. Is this cab/fix better then the shogun cab.. could you explain the differences?
thanks...
still using schap's 4.30
Just because I don't want to start a new thread, shogun cingular works just fine with receiving mms, though generally 9 times out of ten I never receive or can't play without saving, the AUDIO part of mms' when sent even though everyone elses devices (non htc) play just fine. Very annoying issue as most of the recipients devices; Lg vu's, samsung, blackberry's, and even their ****ty razr's get full playback of video and audio in their mms. What say you All the Way?
No Problem
Ever since I had my sim card changed at AT&T store, every rom I flashed the sms and mms works prefect.
After new flash I let the "auto" connection setup do its thing and voila its working. On a rare instances when it does not work, I just use one the "AT&T Wap MediaNet & MMs setting" cab file.
for those of you having trouble with mms , try changing sim, it worked for me.

MMS pics still blurry!!??

I know there was a thread on this late december about receiving MMS pics highly compressed and blurry on the Nexus s. From what I read they were able to (T-mobile I believe) fix the issue. However; I still receive blurry MMS pics. Any Idea's on what to do?? I know email is a great option, but you never know when a contact will MMS you so that you can alert them to email you instead!
If you phone is stock I have no answer other than use a different sms app. I you rooted and running a custom rom the then change the user agent in the mms app.

[Q] MMS disappeared from CM7...? Halp!

Hey guys,
I'm with windmobile up in canada and my MMS has never worked even on stock rom. Today I was trying to work things out with the APN and whatnot when I noticed that in the messaging window I do not see the little camera that lets me send MMS.
Does any one have any idea how i can fix this issue? Are MMSes done differently on CM7 or is something missing on my install?
Any help will be greatly appreciated,
Thanks in advance,
Jason.
Ok now i'm even more confused. I just installed go sms pro and the mms seems to work there. when i go back into the built in messenger program i can see the pictures that i had sent/received via go sms as normal mms. however i still don't see where i can send mms in the built in application. ideally i'd want to just use the integrated app.
thanks again guys.

[Q] epic 4g, mms force close, cant send/receive pic mail.

so I'm rooted, running acs ics, firmware 2.3.5, kernel 2.6.35.7// A few days ago, the generic email started to force close, then messenger started doing the same thing. I finally removed and installed handcent which seems fine to me because I dont text that much and it works, but I now am not able to receive/send picture text. Anyone have any ideas on whats going on or how I can fix this? I'm on sprint. also, anyone know where I could get a clean version of mms.apk? Thanks in advance.
