[Q] Nokia Lumia 800 - MMS issue - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I'm looking for some help, I've just recieved a new lumia 800 an it's using my old trimmed sim on o2. I've read the thread on the Network Setup app but when I try to install it, it comes back with an error saying "Can't download file Windows Phone doesn't support this file type."
Now by the looks of it, it could be because my phone is legit and I was wondering if there's a way to sort out MMS without having to be sneaky?
Regards,
Stevie.

Did you download it trough the market place? That is weird an error like that seems like you were trying to download it in the browser. You cant download xaps etc trough the browser (well only on fully unlocked htc devices).
If you did download it trough the market place than that is quite a strage issue. You can try if you can edit some settings in "cellular" (eg Edit APN), but as I never use MMS idk if this will fix the MMS issues, it will fix 3g issues.

I followed a link to zune but there's no install button and I can't find it on the marketplace on my phone? It's just not there :/

Windows Live

hi guys
where can i get windows live (msn messenger) from for the VOX?
Don't you have it installed by default? I have it preinstalled.
sadly for those of us who got the UK Orange E650 version, the messenger's been stripped out! Boo! Its a bit disappointing, but the phone WAS free upgrade, so to buy some IM software ...ummmm...live messenger for example, might be the only way, unless someone knows of a free program (e.g. the old agile messenger used to be free, its about 45 USD now I think).
Ahh, I see. Sorry, don't know how to get it.
Maybe there are other free clients like there are for (real) windows.?

hmm, it is included in the Dutch Orange E650.
But google and you likely find the live messenger files anyway.

I think that you can use the one thats been fixed for WM5.
But im not sure.

thats the one!!!
Installation unsuccessful
I tried this cab and got a message saying 'The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions'.
Any ideas?
I tried installing the CAB file
1) Via ActiveSync, I copied it onto the E650
2) From the handset, I ran the CAB file
3) The "wait" clock starts and never ends. It just hangs in this state.
I've reset the phone several times an restarted the process and NOTHING!
Any ideas? Is this what people are complaining about? That the Orange E650 has some sort of mystery CID lock that can't be surpassed?
I know alot of you out there managed to figure it out, but after tinkering around for a while, I finally have LIVE MESSENGER WORKING ON MY ORANGE E650!!
This is what I did:
First, you need to APPLICATION UNLOCK you phone.
1) Go to: http://spvunlock.rd.francetelecom.com/
2) Enter all your phone details (IMEI, ORANGE PHONE NUMBER, FULL NAME, EMAIL)
3) After selecting "next" you will eventually be taken to a page with the CAB file ICON.
4) Download
5) Copy to you phone
6) Run the CAB file. Eventually, I got an "Installation Complete" message.
Now you are ready install Live MEssenger and have MSN back on you PHONE!
1) Go to the XDA Developer Forum to download the LIVE MESSENGER CAB File: ftp://xda:[email protected] Live.cab
2) Copy the CAB File to you phone
3) Run the CAB File
The "wait clock" stays there for what I felt it was an eternity, perhaps 3-5 min. I thought it hung-up on me. Eventually it timed out and to my surprise,
I could see the MSN and Windows Live icons on my phone Start Menu!
The rest is history!
Oh, by the way, it took a while for the Contacts to load up.
ENJOY!!

Text Message Retry Program

Hi,
I've recently HardSPL'd my phone and installed EnergyROM Photon. The one thing I am missing from the stock ROM is the program/app called "Text Message Retry." It used to attempt to resend my SMS's if they didn't go through, now they are just dumped into "Drafts" and it doesn't try again. This was very useful since my work environment (networking equipment lab) has spotty service in some locations. Could anyone/has anyone seen a *.cab for this? I'm thinking about seeing if I could use SK Tools to pull it from the stock, via reflashing to stock and making it from there. However, I'm not sure if I could use SK tools to make a .cab from something preinstalled.
Any advice would be appreciated...
Also if there is another program out there that would do that same thing that would work too.
I presume your carrier is Verizon? I have seen this on a Verizon TP (1). I tried to extract it and run it on a Sprint phone but no joy.
I too, would like to see an "auto retry" solution for failed SMS.
That is correct, I'm using a Verizon TP2. I actually found one late last night, it was said to have been from a Samsung Omnia but it looks the same as the one I had, minus the icon. I've not seen if it works yet, so far no missed SMS's today.
It is located:
http://forum.smartphonejunkie.com/f551/omnia-package-189721/
I might go wander around and try to test it but we've been busy today.
Interesting... If you are a member of that site, please post the file here. I'd be curious to see if it works with Sprint phones.
Thanks.
I'm home now and have the .cab file, now lets see if I can upload it. I'm not sure if its working yet.
Does this actually work if your vzw? also that for a wqvga device. the font is super tiny
i wantr this app to but for some reason it did not come with my phone either. TMobile
I discovered that in 6.5 it is included as a service. I think it should be running on everyone's phone so I kinda gave up working on it. The reason it came in the stock VZW ROM was because that was 6.1

What device are you using? Chevron is a tool to get your device developer unlocked. To use the tool you must first install the cert, like you already did. Neither the tool nor the cert have something to do with the marketplace. To be able to use the marketplace, you need a Windows Live ID.
i have a htc trophy, i can enter in the marketplace but i cannot download enything
, i am doing a restore now

But you set up your Windows Live account and entered the activation code that came with your device, right? Without that, you cannot use the marketplace.
ye the account is fine, but it s after i installed the certificate file, still not working after the restore
Is there maybe a problem with the marketplace just now? I've just tried to download a few different things and am getting message along the lines of "can't get this info right now, check back later"?
I've not installed anything or done anything out of the ordinary today on my phone?

Yeah...unfortunately, learned that the hard way. Now I can't get my phone back the way i want it until this issue is fixed.
**UPDATE**
Just for the heck of it, I created a new live id and was able to download apps. is there a way I can switch all my transactions from the live id that's not working to the live id that is working?
I don't know about that.. But I have switched from mobudget to my budget app.. And my trial expired last night .. Since than I have been trying to buy it but nothing ..

Is anyone else still having problems with the marketplace? I'm still getting the "can't get this information right now, check back in a little while" error when I try to download anything.
Edit : I also can't download any apps or music through Zune on my laptop so I'm guessing my windows live I.d. has developed some kind of problem in the last 24 hours. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Everything is fine now for me.. microsoft updated mp with new apps and new featured apps and things like that.. maybe thats why their is a downtime on weekends..
Update:
I can install/buy apps now..
Patience people... same with updates and problems.
I would have f***** ** my phone a while ago I haven been patient with NoDo and forced it.

[Q] Unable to send MMS or mass messages Samsung Focus

Hey,
So I purchased an AT&T Samsung Focus off of eBay, and am using a Rogers SIM in Canada. I've read everything, and I am aware that a lot of people are getting this fixed, however everybody seems to be running NoDo or lower. Unfortunately, I am running the Mango "RTM."
I was able to get 3G working by setting up APN settings, but I can't get MMS to work, nor am I able to send out mass text messages (to more than one person).
Is there any fix for my Mango phone, without downgrading? Thanks!
There are multiple answers to this question on this very forum. Try the search feature please but this usually works for everyone that has mms problems. How to get MMS working on LG, Samsung, and HTC

I have already tried this, and requires me to downgrade to something that isn't Mango. Mango doesn't allow the "interop capabilities" library, and as far as I know there isn't any Mango registry editors.
Are you not unlocked? If you are unlocked then all you need do is make the provxml or use the one already made then use the samsung diag thing to run the provision. You can also try this which will show you how to run the provxml file to get the flag set.
Unfortunately, I am only developer unlocked, I should have mentioned that in the original post. My apologies. I want to downgrade back to NoDo, and re-unlock my phone but I don't want to lose my text messages. I'm almost on the edge of doing it, because having a smart phone without MMS is pointless.
Do you know of any way I can keep my text messages, or more specifically the ones from a specific person?

If you are developer unlocked then this should work. You just need to follow the instructions in that other thread to get the provxml file to your phone. On my original thread download the xap open it with winzip or winrar (or whatever) copy the Custclear.provxml file to a directory of your choice. And then just follow the instructions in that last thread I linked to make your samsung provision properly.
Alternatively you could try this tool which allows you to set the ADC flag so you can get your mms running again. Since you are developer unlocked you should be able to run that tool on your samsung.
You could also try downloading "Network Profile" app from the Marketplace in the Samsung Zone section. And see if that works

To my knowledge this is not possible yet.
I actually managed to figure it out, Samsung has a handy tool in the marketplace that does this all for you. MMS is now working perfectly. I had tried this in the past, but the Samsung marketplace was bugged for me.
So, for anybody on 7720 with a Samsung Focus without MMS working download the app called "Network Profile" under the Samsung Zone in the Marketplace.
Thank you for your help Laquox
I downloaded the network profile but do not see any options to make changes to the APN settings for MMS.

Hello! I just got an unlocked at&t surround phone for christmas. I use simple mobile from t-mobile. The phone makes calls and sends texts but will not connect with the 3g internet or send MMS.

You won't be able to connect to 3G on that phone running T-Mobile. They use different 3g bands and it is hard coded into the hardware. As for mms you need to make sure your apn is correct
So it will only work with AT&T?

Yup or one of the carriers outside the US that use the same bands

Custom ROM for HTC Mondrian (Surround)
I have tried using the custom ROMs by DFT and Ansar, but the Intrinsic ROM seems to be the best. It has 7.10.7740.16 version and Internet Sharing. TouchExplorer and Registry Editor work on it. I have only two issues - TouchExperience is throwing an unhandled exception error and i am not able to update to 7.10.8107.79 through Zune.
An update - i didn't want to continue using a ROM which doesn't allow updates, so i tried Ansar's RUU_Surround_Cingular_US_4.03.502.01_Radio_5.69.09.05a_22.50.50.21U_NT_Mango_7720 again.
Again, Zune did not show the 7740 and 8107 updates, but i was able to install them using WP7+Update+Cab+Sender.
So i finally have what i was looking for - an unlocked phone which can be upgraded to tha latest os version.
Almost ideal, except for one key ingredient missing - Internet Connection Sharing. I've tried DiagProvXMLv0.91_IS and it has resulted in the internet sharing option showing under Settings. However, i get an error msg 'Internet sharing isn't enabled yet' when i try to turn on the feature.
Hoping that Ansar will read this post and provide a solution soon!
