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.

Unfortunately, you will get charged for the per minute data usage.

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.

Does anyone else have the problem where SMS arrive much later than they were sent? I have been experiencing this quite regularly. They usually come through when I turn the screen back on. Can anyone think why this is happening. Its as if the device isnt waking up to let me know there is a SMS.
Thanks
Matt
Its probably a network issue... I dint have any issues as such...
I would also think that this is most probably a network issue. Maybe it would be worth trying a different radio?!

Hmm, did you pay the sms mailman enough?
Hmm I haven't had problems with lates SMS, but I have had problems with text messages being so long in length that it seems that the inbox cuts the rest off... don't know why though
YES - I've had the exact same issue and it's driving me crazy. I get text messages delivered at 2am that were sent at 2pm. And it appears completely random - I can send myself a text message and it arrives in a few seconds .. I can send another one a few minutes later and it arrives 6 hours later. Am gonna call Sprint because this is very annoying. Touch Pro for me - never had this problem prior to purchasing the TP.
Try advanced config and enabling "wake up on new sms".
I have already enabled wake on new sms. Seems really weird, happened again today.
I have only had this issue with Verizon sending to AT&T so i would think it is a translation issue
I had the same problem with my TP purchased i Norway. I went for a whole day without getting any sms'es and thougt that it was weird. So i turned my device on and off. And suddenly i got like 6 messages.. And after that I got some sms'es if i made a call or if i used gprs or 3g connections. Or if i turned my device on and off as mentioned. But it got so bad that i had to hard reset my device.. Realy annoying..
This was happening to me on my Fuze so I did a hard reset and now it is fine. I would suggest doing that. Be sure to backup anything important (pics, vids, etc.) before because they will be gone on a hard reset.
Well this set a new record for me - 2.5 hours on the phone with Sprint Technical Support .. but, am very happy to say the problem has been fixed.
FINALLY I was able to get to someone (Level 2 Tech) that was actually determined to fix the problem, even though we couldn't replicate it right away. Turns out it is a rare problem that they describe as a "traffic jam" in the routing to my phone, and they ran what they called the "Text Message Plunger" (no I'm not making this up!) - and it fixed it completely, and texts starting coming through instantly and no problems since. It seems this is a known problem, albeit a rare one.
But if your texts randomly show up hours late - this seems to be the problem. But I can tell you - no one in customer service or Tech Level 1 could even come close. In fact, with my initial attempt at Tech Level 1, she spent 5 minutes on the problem, then she apologized for the "nationwide outage", credited me $60, and said there was nothing they can do until that is fixed. Realizing this was BS - called right back and finally got to a Level 2 Tech who seemed much more interested in fixing the problem.
So would recommend calling and immediately trying to get to the higher tech support. I'm so glad they were able to fix it on their end rather than trying to get a new phone, or having to do a hard reset.
I looked around for a thread that had a compiled list of descovered glitches and stuff for the TP2 and didn't find one, so here we go. If you notice any issues with your TP2 post em, and maybe we can offer solutions, or at least get an idea if it is a specific device issue, or perhaps something wrong with the ROM, etc.
As mentioned in another thread, I have noticed a sms messaging glitch, where if you are in conversation mode and you recieve multiple texts before exiting, you have to exit and enter the conversation 1 time for each text recieved.
Also, I have noticed on multiple occations that the sometimes when my TP2 goes to sleep mode, it will not wake up unless I take out the battery. Those are the two main things.
I have a friend with a Touch Pro, and I also had one before I got the TP2, and I have noticed that both of these issues are on both devices. The touch pro only experianced them after the ROM update HTC released for it.
BTW, I have Sprint CDMA service. I don't know if Verizon users are experiancing the same issues.
I have considering flashing a custom rom to fix these issues if they are ROM specific, but idk if they are.
So, any other issues that anyone wants to share?
To tell the truth, I am not sure what is wrong. It may be a batch issue (a group of phones that all have the same problem). I have the Sprint TP2 and don't have the freezing issue.
I have noticed the issue with the text messages, but I believe that it has something to do with the new integrated Texting tab in the TF3D Contact/Address Book. There is a program on this Forum Called "Safe Inbox Extender" ( at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=379265 ). If you download it and install it, it enables the "Mark all as Read" function in the Text Messages. Has been a God send.
As far as the other issue, I would suggest that, after a back up of important things of course, that you do a hard reset. See if that fixes the problem. Also, If you have a bunch of 3rd party apps, you might want to install them one at a time, with a little time in between, and see if they are causing the problem. I've fallen into the runt of I know what programs I like and have them stored on my storage card. Just because all my phones have been WinMo, doesn't mean they will all be compatible.
Just some thoughts.
I'll try that program, thanks. As far as the sleep issue, idk if a hard reset would work or not. I accidentally reset it a few days ago when I tried to restore my data profile because my internet wasn't working and it went to the prgramming menu instead and wiped the whole phone. So I guess I'll wait and see if it does the sleep mode thing again. If not then I guess the hard reset did work.
I don't know if Verizon users are experiencing the same issues.

I can confirm that Verizon TP2 has same issues...Back it up and Hard Reset! Fixed the problem on my girlfriends and my buddys TP2...Neither issues have occurred since.
I''ve noticed when my phone is on sleep mode for more than 15-20 minutes it won't turn on immediately if i try to use the slider. i usually have to open and close the slider to get the screen to turn on. I've tried a soft reset but that hasn't fixed the problem. I've also had a few programs crash on me already. Any suggestions? Thanks
im on uscellular havent had any of those problems.the main issue i got with the tp2.is the memory usage i do soft reset its between 46-56 pct used. do nething on it like internet or play a game it sits around 80 pct used till i use cleanram or soft reset again.if any1 knows a way to lower the usage plz post it. ty
I have a us cellular tp2 and the only problems i am experiencing is that yeah the memory isnt the greatest but mostly the clock, i set the time zone for us central time and at least 2 to 3 times a day the clock will reset itself to eastern us time its a real pain in the a**. not sure how to fix it as of yet, any other uscc customers having this same problem?

Hey! I had this problem too, but I figured out how to fix it.. Here's what I had to do..
I had to set my time to a local city [Click on World Clock ----> Add City ----> Local timezone city ---> Set My Location, and change your time to the proper one, then set your clock as the other city you made just a minute ago. While the new city is selected, delete it from the list [Menu ---> remove cities] and select your personal location again.
This timme, click on menu ----> Local time settings, and make sure that it says your timezone [Default on USCC for some reason is Central Timezone - Their headquarters]
I have a TP2 from US cellular. It has winmo 6.5 on it. It keeps show i have 1 txt msg. But i don't have any. I installed this cab but i don't see the mark all as read function anywhere.
yeah i also have the tp2 with us cellular and live in central time, but it always goes to eastern time. i called the tech team for uscc and they said that they have never heard of that issue before, but they said that they submitted a ticket for a fix so hopefully they do soon cause its very annoying
my tp2 doesn't have the sleep or time or txt problem, but it does soft RESET itself randomly for no apparent reason, happens 1-3 times a day, reallly annoying......
The Android system have a big problem with the managing of the offline incoming sms, it report the time when the sms is reached to the device instead the one when it's sended to the net.
Example: it's 11:30 p.m. , I turn off my telephone, at 2:30 a.m. a friend of mine send me an sms, the day after I turn on the device at 7:30 a.m. and I reach the message with the timestamp of 7:30 instead of 2:30!!!
There is a fix for that? Is a problem that afflict every version of Android, I have a T-Mobile G1 wich I have uploaded all Android version from 1.0 to 2.1 (thanks cyanogen), now I have a Galaxy S and the problem persist. If it's the case, I want to try to submit a petition to Google about this, but first want to make sure that it is a problem felt by the community.
thank you
Is there a solution for this. I'd rather have the actual time.
Can you give me more information about this? Wich device do you have? Which is this solution? Thank you...
Anyone having issues with voice (system, US English)? In that it only works once or twice, then constantly fails with the error "voice input fail".
I can change language (to German for instance) it will work a few times, then stop... back to US English (works a few times...then, yep, stops....).....
Anyone else see this?
Thanks!
Edit/Update - - Try UK ?? English!

I have the same issue. Don't know what's wrong.

Yours working yet? I factory reset the watch after backing it up and did the whole set-up dance....no difference. Then, later in the day, it started working....haven't thoroughly tested it....but it seems be better....
..
I have an S2, but the underlying implementation is the same.
S-Voice uses a remote server for decoding and interpreting voice input. Occasionally Samsung's servers are unresponsive or failing in some other way. I've experienced this a few times over the last year I've had my S2.
So this may be what was going on, particularly since it started working again later. I didn't use S-voice yesterday, so I can't comment on any outages.
Finally, I will add that since the rollout of the recent update adding a bunch of S3 features to the S2 (reminders, etc.) and updating the entire Tizen OS, S-voice is working much better than it used to. Still doesn't hold a candle to Google's "okay google", but has crossed the threshold to being a useful, value-add feature now rather than a cruel tease. In my opinion, of course.
I had this problem with my S3. You might have hit a setting that you did not realize you hit. When you were able to enter speech and hit send, you had a choice to choose send as text or send as voice. Just below these two choices there is a small circle, if you accidentally touch that, it turns off the speech input and only uses the text. The only way I have found to get out of this mode is to open the main settings, scroll down to messages, select messages, you should see "send as audio". Click it so it is "on".
This should take you back to where it will let you dictate messages. Just be careful when selecting the send as text or audio option as that little circle will be below them and it is easy to touch accidentally.
I hope this helps
I have the same problem and it has not been corrected by resetting or the message sound option.
Same issue here
Well it seems to be at it again.
Interesting part is that using U.S. English, it does not work. If I switch it to U. K. English it does work. (I'm in the US..)
... C'mon Samsung, how about getting your current software working correctly before introducing any new buggy stuff.
Skeeter123,, I am having the same exact problem since I installed the new software update , very frustrating hopefully they will fix this issue soon ?
Yup.
Fix the old buggy software before you give us a new buggy stuff.
Ridiculous Update
I have had my watch for one week and it worked great and then the voice input just stopped. I called Samsung and they offered NO help other than for me to mail it back to them, REALLY! So, back to Best buy for an exchange. Well, same issue will another brand new $450 watch. Is the Gear S3 going to another Note 7 debacle? It is a Samsung product. Get your crap together Samsung! If anyone finds a fix, Pease post.
I'm having this problem

But now you have to speak that funny English that they speak over there.:silly:
While I never tried it till this morning, it did work. US.
Still not working for me. And UK English is not working very well either.
Are you in the US?
For all of my tests I am attempting to dictate a message.
I just switched mine over to the English (UK) and it appears to be working right now. I am in the good ole US of A, and have a pretty thick southern accent and it works, but we should not have to change it this way, but at least it works again.
Yup. I hear ya! Too bad Sammy doesn't. I'm going to check out some of the Android Wear 2.0 watches soon.....If I like one, then it's bye-bye Sammy. For good....sigh...
That's too bad that they will lose customers over their inability to get it right the first time. Crazy thing with voice input, I have to have it set to UK English to respond to text messages, or to send a text, but it has to be in US English to speak a reminder in?. Do you think Samsung even monitors this forum?
