MMS questions - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

I just got the Cingular Siemens SX-66 (using T-Mobile through it) and while setting up the simple things on the phone I noticed somewhere (and now I just can not remember where I saw it) but I saw either an access point or connection setting for MMS and it still said something that had something Cingular related and I would like to find out what the correct setting is. What is it and where do I go to put it in again?
What is the difference between SMS and MMS?
In my messaging section I have a folder for Outlook mail, text messages, and for some reason 2 MMS folders? Why 2 identical folders? Should I delete one and if so how do I know which one is the correct one to get rid of?
THANK YOU!!!

Can I get MMS messages? And messaging question...

have the Siemens SX-66 made for Cingular (but I unlocked it and am using T-Mobile) and I was curious if I was capable of sending/receiving MMS messages? If so how do I send them and how to I set it up to receive them? I can easily send/receive text messages.
Another curious thing is when I go into the "messaging" section it has 4 default folders. One is "Outlook e-mail" (which makes sense) and "text messages" (which also makes sense) but for some reason by default it gave me TWO folders named "MMS". First off, why do I have two and not one of those and second how do I either to work? Can I delete one so I only have one and if so how?
THANKS A TON!!!

NO, but below you ask why you have MMS folders ? You would need that to do mms'ing. (in and outbox maybe?)
Goto the TMO homepage, find the MMS settings, have them sms'ed to you, accept the incoming settings from TMO & PRESTO.
There is a manual way to set it up as well, RTM (read the manual & TMO specific settings)

(REQUEST) - Cab with MMS setings

Hello :
Im trying to do a cab file with my Operator configs for mms and gprs !
Can you post yours here that work with WM6 ? I will try to change to Portuguese TMN operator !
LRM
If you do a search on Cingular setting you will get this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296991&highlight=Cingular+WAP+MediaNet+Settings.cab
Also i am interested to this project...
I've looked inside the cab... but it says WAP settings.
I (we) want to backup operator GPRS INTERNET settings & MMS settings.
Are all those regkeys assigned to this settings?
So we have to backup
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Comm\RasBook\
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Destinations
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Planner
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers
and its related subkeys after setup the connections?

The above are correct but if you also want MMS settings then you will also need
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Arcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\mm1
many thanks...
There's some website. that some member linked to this week. it was htc freak or htc fourms htc, and something with an F and it had a lot of carriers customizations.
Not that that helps...but you know
I'm having an awful time getting my MMS settings to work in WM6. I've followed all the documentation on Cingular's site and I'm 99% sure I have everything correct.
I get a message saying that it needs to disconnect from my current connection to send/receive mms messages and asks if it wants to proceed. This is bad because I must recieve MMS messages no matter what, like I used to be able to in WM5, to get pages from work.
Not to mention, even if I answer Yes, the messages don't seem to come through. It's also random, I can get MMS messages, just not all the time. So the settings seem to be right. =(
if you have any of the original cabs you can extract the XML files out them and make 1 XML and use wince cab manager and import the xml to provision all of the settings, however if you do that make sure you remove the lines that state "WAP PROVISIONG DOC" wince does not like that line.
Is there a repository of Operator GPRS/MMS Settings cabs anywhere on the net?
I think it would be great if xda had one since we all put new roms on our phones like we change socks.
I would like to have ones for T-mobile US and Rogers Canada (you don't even want to know why I have a phone for there).
Thanks

the xml is located inside the cab and from what i have seen its always named "CM_Entries.xml" there is almost always another file inside that you will want to check out to see if there are registry entries being changed its called "Platformxxx.reg"
Here is a screenshot of the shortstring keypad cab to show you what i am talking about.

Yeah, that thing is really annoying.
Try changing your MMS settings. From "Work" to "internet" or such.
See this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1172421#post1172421
and the posts I referred to in it.
Let me know if you'll find the solution.

Palm SMS Threader

I recently tried the Palm SMS Threader CAB, and it works great on WM6. I'm using JJ's Black 1.2, and it runs flawlessly. If anyone wants thier text messages in thread form, then try it out.
I couldn't get the CAB to attach for some reason. It's under 5 megs. Here's a link for it.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WO8D3YG5
Note: For me all I had to do was drop the CAB to my phone and run it from there. It worked, and still works after soft resetting. However, there are actual steps to copy the files and over-write the Messaging ones in the ROM. The steps can be found in the Hacking and Developing forum if I remember correctly. If ya need help finding the steps I'll post a link from the treo forums. I'm using a Cingular 8525 on WM6, and it works great. -fin
Here are the install steps from another site. Like I said. I'm using an 8525 on JJ's Black 1.2 WM6, and all I needed to do was drag and drop the CAB into my phone. Open it and save it to the Storage Card, soft reset, and I'm all ready to thread!
Here's the install info.:

I have found a bug when i use it in that the soft keyboard covers part of the text space which is a little annoying. Otherwise, its great.
Hmm. I'm not having that problem. What kind of phone do you have? I just checked mine to see if that was also happening, but wasn't. That's weird, but yeah, I agree, this little app makes text messaging a whole lot better to track what you say to somneone and when.
Below are settings and setup that works for me. don't do much mms bit the sms works just fine.
1) run the .cab, Soft Reset.
2) edit the registry to rename HKLM/Software/MS/Inbox/SVC/MMS1 to MMS1OLD, Soft Reset. Otherwise you still see MMS if you click your email hard button a second time.
3) Go into new SMS app, Menu, Options, Advanced:
Msg Center#: +13123149810
Email Center#: 121 <--this lets you send sms's to email addresses
MMS gateway address: wireless.cingular.com
MMS URL: http://mmsc.cingular.com
Network Profile: MEdia Net
4. Delete Start Menu/Programs/Inbox(1) folder.
I totally missed changing the settings. Thanks. I was using my old MMS to send them instead of the one in this app. It's originally setup for Sprint. Thanks again!
thanks for the new settings, helped a lot!

anyone knows the setting for T-mobile USA MMS?
let me answer my own question:
T MOBILE SETTINGS
Message center number +12063130004
Email center number is 500
MMS gateway address is 216.155.165.050:8080
MMS URL is http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
T-Mobile UK Palm settings
In case it helps anyone, here are the UK T-Mobile settings for this app to send/receive MMS:
Message centre number: +447958879879 (should pre-fill when you've got a signal)
Email centre number: blank
MMS gateway address: 149.254.201.135:8080
MMS URL: http://mmsc.t-mobile.co.uk:8002
Network profile: Default
Then don't forget to amend the MMS1 to MMS1old in the registry (see post above).

Do you mean the notification of when you get a msg? Start>Settings>Sounds and Notifications, drop down to recieve new SMS, and make sure no audio file is selected. Is that what you're lookin for?
I'm having a problem sending an MMS with this app. It keeps saying the same error. Like copuldn't send message due to ActiveSync, or a in coming call interupted it. If I use the old MMS app it works fine. ??
MMS doesn't work through this app from what I read on PPCGEEKS, so I changed a soft key to link it for faster navigation.

im not using the files you posted, but extracted the files for myself from the treo rom.. and MMS works just fine.
Anybody could make it work properly with Softbank?
Someone has tried to use this app in association to Jeyo outlook extender???
I've tried to install it and no sms are readed by outlook... some solution to this issue? I suppose that it use a personalized database...

Am I the only one?
Hi, I've been lurking around since I got my 8525 in December. I've flashed just about every flavor on WM6 ROM that has come out. So far, I have not been able to get Palm Threaded SMS to work on the two versions I've tried it on. I've tried it on Black 2.5 and Custel 2.5.
I'm currently running Custel 2.5 and have errors that read "cprog is not a valid program file" and "tmail is not a valid program file". When I have the cprog failure the radio does not work and I have to hard reset to get it work. With the tmail error every thing works normally except the mail/sms functions. I use SPB Backup to save me the agony of the hard resets but really miss the Palm threaded application. I loved it in WM5 and have considered going back just to get it to work.
By the way, I have followed all of the instructions in the Treo Central post referenced above.
Thanks for any help.

storage card
is there a way to store sms from the Palm Threaded SMS to the storage card so that when i flash and change the setting back i can keep my texts?? PIMBackup backs up only the regular SMS not this one?? or at least does anyone know where the texts are stored so i can copy them before flashing and put them back?
thanks.

Entire SMS Thread deletes on its own

I recently used Jeyo Mobile Companion to move all my text messages (sent and received) older than a certain date to a seperate folder. Now, at random, when I send a text message, that entire thread of messages will delete from my phone. All my other messages from other contacts are not affected, only the thread of text with the contact I texted.
Of course I did all of this before I took a vacation, and am not currently able to undo the move of messages.
I checked the archive folder to see if maybe my missing threads had been moved to there, but they have not, they are just gone. This only occurs when I send a message, it has not happened otherwise. And it is at random, not every thread deletes. Let me know if you need more details. Oh, stock AT&T ROM, WM 6.5. Thanks.
Nobody else has experinced this? I'd appreciate any suggestions for restoring the lost texts (if possible) and for preventing it from happening again.
Just an idea. Not sure since I don't use the particular software you mentioned to auto delete messages.
The reason for your problem may stem from having threaded messaging enabled. If you have it enabled, this means that in the default WinMo messaging app, you can't delete particular messages. You have to delete the whole thread. It's all or nothing. (Note, it's possible to delete individual messages via Manila)
Disable threaded messaging with Advanced Config tool and see if your problem disappears.
I moved the messages back to the correct folders (sent and inbox) and everything seems to have corrected itself.

Complete Noob w/Questions

So I'm new to this whole scene and I've probably got a few idiotic questions.
I bought a Touch Pro 2 locked to T-mobile and unlocked it. I changed the settings so I can operate on AT&T's Edge network.
First, would flashing a ROM be a bad idea since I'm using one provider's phone on another's network? Would it just make it more complicated to do things?
And also, I don't know if anyone here can answer this question, but I tweaked my registry settings so I could add my own MMS setup (to be able to send and receive MMS through AT&T's network) but I can only receive them, not send them. When I go to send an MMS I get the progress popup and it goes up to 99% and then disappears and the message just sits in my Outbox, retrying over and over again.
Thanks for reading! And thanks in advance for any help anyone could offer a noob!

ROM flashing - as long as it's a ROM for the GSM Rhodium/TP2/Tilt2, you're fine!
There are many tweaks that adjust MMS settings for AT&T's network.
Here's one and another.
Good luck!
Thanks!
How do I import the .reg file? I have Registry Editor installed on my TP2 but the "Import" selection in the menu is grayed out, and when I find the .reg file in File Explorer it says there's no program associated with .reg files
Thanks and apologies!
[edit] Nevermind! I figured it out, but the software my TP2 uses is Arcsoft anyway, not Jataayu. I found the registry key in the registry for Arcsoft, but the only thing I could find was that the max mms size is set to 1mb instead of 300k, I changed that and it still doesn't work. Any ideas?

No problem.
Sorry, but I don't really send/receive MMS (I guess I'm pretty low-tech after all!) with my TP2, so I'm afraid I can't help any longer.
