I have an issue where I lose the ability to download my MMS, which are usually just photo messages. I have tried the help from ATT's site where you configure the settings for it to no avail. I was able to get it back by re-flashing and now it had died again.
The symptom, specifically, is that the message will simply never download. I get it, hit download, it goes back to the list and never downloads. If I open the message again the download button is greyed out. I have gotten an "unable to download..." something message but I can't remember the specific text and don't want to mislead anyone. When I see that specific text again I will update the thread so anyone searching for the error message (which I've done) will be able to find the solution that will hopefully arise in this thread.
Has anyone else encountered this issue? I am using the latest Schaps (1 wk old) but it happened with a previous Schaps as well. I honestly can't remember if I've changed something that would have affected it but it's not unlikely as I've been tweaking my phone for the past two weeks since reflashing, but only user settings and not really connection stuff.
And I found a fix by following this thread.
Although the symptoms were not the same it worked like a charm.

If something happens to the post, I will quote VOL22002:
"By the way for anyone else who is still having issues with MMS all you have to do is install the (Arcsoft_MMS_4281.)cab and rerun the Connection setup on your pda that is localed in start/setting/connections and your all set."

Hi all
I'm opening a new thread about this issue as I can't find any solution to this problem anywhere else (and most threads seems to be cluttered with less valuable info).
Yesterday I got an SMS which I read right away and replied to some seconds later. When I pressed "Send" from the TouchFLO-SMS app. my phone stopped responding. I was waiting for a few minutes to see if it came back to life, but to no avail. I did a soft reset and everything seemed fine, except I had one unread message according to TouchFLO and the standard WM messaging app. I've tried every solution I could find on the forums, like: disabled threaded messaging to look for unread messages, read all of them anyway, installed the "Mark all as unread" (SafeInboxExtender) and even tried to replace the file "htmlnote.dll", but that isn't possible. I can't rename, copy or replace the file (tried "all" file explorers I can come by).
I don't know why this happens, but I know that a lot of people at my work have the same problem with the same phone (and other 6.1-phones).
Hard reset is not an option any way you put it..
Hoping to find a final solution to this issue (or else I'll go back to my Nokia with Series 60 as usual - it's flawless, but not so nice..)
Have you tried backing up your texts to Microsoft's My Phone service?
I can't offer a solution to your problem, but if you have a backup you can do more drastic things like deleting all your texts. The worst that will happen if you sync to My Phone again is that the SMS that you've deleted on your phone will be archived.
I've solved it now. After numerous attempts with FixUnread and soft-resets it worked

do u have the cab for the fix unread?
I've had my Tilt 2 for about a month now. I've tried 4 or 5 different ROMs now, but i've come across a problem all of a sudden that wasn't fixed by a hard reset or flashing the stock ROM back. The phone all of a sudden doesn't work! I can still send and recieve text messages just fine, but the phone doesn't work. It says "Dialing...," sits there silent for a few seconds, then beeps 3 times and goes back to my recent calls list.
Beyond this, I have also not been able to get the text message announcements to work on any ROM except for the stock AT&T ROM. I get the same result with all of them, having tried combonations of several different ROMs and three different copies of MSVC. Now matter how I try MSVC will announce my emails, but not my text messages, which happens to be the exact opposite of what I want. Anyone know how to fix this? A registry edit, maybe?
Also, I have tried several different copies of HTC QuichGPS on these cooked ROMs and they all give me an error when I try to run the program. It says something to the effect of "certificate not being signed...one or more missing components..." Is there a particular version that I need to install, or is Advanced Config not really turning off the certificate security?
Any help with any of these problems would be greatly appreciated, the phone in particular being a higher priority of course. Thanks in advance for any help provided.
Chris
The call error should be fixed by calling your provider on a different line and tell them you lost the ability to call after upgrading to a new ROM.
Not sure about MSVC. Do you have high priority messages only checked?
SDK Certs should get rid of any certification errors.
*edit*
Now that I think about it your GPS problem might also be linked to the first one. Have them reset all your connections when you call.

I'm going to try to flash a new radio first and see if that fixes it. i don't really have my hope up though because i've tried several ROMs over the past month, and it just suddenly did this around lunch today. and i know one or two of the custom ROMs had radios flashed with them, as did the stock one i just reverted back to. but it a radio flash doesn't work, then i'll try calling my provider. i just hate to have to sit on hold waiting on AT&T. thanks for the advice.
It thinks I have a new text. I even deleted every text chain. Multiple resets. Ever happen to anyone else?
Stock Rom.
Yeah thats happend to me on my TouchFlo3D. Its a really weird bug. I think that it happens if u delete a message chain that still has a new message in it. Theres no way to fix it other than a hard reset cuz i went for about a month waiting for it to correct itself but it didnt so i had to hard reset. My best advice is to make sure u dont have any unread messages when u delete them
This happened to me recently i found an .exe app that corrects it for you. I don't have it here at work but i know its somewhere in this forum.
If you still can find it, message me and i'll email you the file when i get home.
No Hard Reset Needed....I understand your frustration LOL TRUST ME.
FOUND IT
here you go
It shows I have two new messages always for me too.
I just tired that file you posted because I have the same bug and when I run it, it says it found the the "new" SMS and fixes but it still shows up on the touchflo 3d.
When I run the app again, it shows no errors. However when I reboot the phone and run the app it shows the new SMS and fixes it, but it still showing up. fml.
I'm using the tilt 2 from at&t with wm 6.5.
EDIT: taking out the battery fixed it after using the app! Thanks!
ok so i downloaded the app but it wouldnt ipen on my computer. Now what do i do?
Ok all this is a cry for help from all users and people helping with the MIUI port...
It's also a cry for help TO all users and dev's who have worked on, altered, modded or otherwise, the original Chinese MIUI Rom for what ever phone system you did the work on.
Our Beloved EVO can not RECIEVE MMS messages.
the message starts to download and sometimes instantly says "error downloading file" (or attachment i forget) or it can go as long as 30 seconds and then error out.
The messages do get sent to the Sprint picture message site, or email if you sent it to an email instead of a ph. #
At first Sending did not work but bnice (and maybe others) got it working.
MMS SEND is confirmed working, but receiving does not.
Aside form a complete 100% decompile of the rom i do not think anything has not been covered but i am no android dev, god no, just a lover of the rom and bnice's great work.
bnice kind of took over where IncredibleDoes started and has done a knockout job of getting near everything to work, but this MMS receive thing has got everyone stumped.
apn's have been swapped, examined, cross examined.
apk files have been swapped, examined and cross examined
yet nothing seems to be working.
to myself and a few others it feels like an authentication issue. sort of like when something is trying to gain authentication to a site or process, it may bomb out right away, others it might take a bit. all the while it looks like its doing something but really isnt.
I have observed via searches, other phones, be it MIUI or other rom's, not able to receive MMS messages. even stock phones right from the vendor had issues and it was fixed with an OTA fix.
PLEASE--- if you had a phone or rom that could not receive MMS messages we need your help in finding out what is causing this issue on the MIUI ROM.
each of us love different rom's, dev's, them's and phones, but there is one rom, aside from CM6 (and derivatives of said rom) that has gained quite the following across many phone platforms, and i feel is undeniably unique in every way, even down to the multitouch icon moving & screen flipping, its unique.
Other phone dev's with Verizon (for example) have gotten MMS receive working, but Verizon uses a different method I understand, for MMS send/receive and that method does not work on the EVO/Sprint.
if you think you can help or want to help or have any ideas please ask here or contact bnice directly or via the MIUI thread HERE . grab the rom, flash her, and see what you can make of the issue.
logcat does not work out of the gates, and others have said alogcat does not work either, but i have not tried yet since 1.23 was released.
Thanks in advance everyone, lets get MIUI up to speed with the other fabulous roms available for our EVO!
- V
*** Just to Clarify whats happening.
I reflashed 1.23 again this morning and sent myself a message from gmail and the MMS header does appear on the phone, with the download button available.
when you click download, the button either comes right back like it hickuped and didnt download, or if you hit it again, or again and again, the mms message may just sit there for seconds, to minutes saying "downloading"
but infact no error message popped up.
Thread moved to Q&A.
Ok... I believe this is the rom that came with the hero when it first came out and had the same mms problem where that download button would appear but would fail to download.. Sprint fixed it with ota (second link)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4747794&postcount=1
And I believe this is the first ota maintenance that had the mms pic mail fix

I got all this from here... So if you need to dig more go here...
[http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=CDMA_Hero_ROMs
Hope this helps... I think this might be a good thing to look into.. Cause the hero had same problem... Sending mms was perfectly fine... But receive was broken.. Text would come In... But wouldn't download.. Even clicking download button would result in download error...
Sprint fixed the problem.. This sounds exactly the same issue we are having... I am no dev so please just have a quick look... Thanks

Just recently my phone is getting hung up when trying to download my e-mail. It can't log on, then it won't disconnect. I've tried a hard reset and still no luck. I'm connecting to a g-mail account. I've been running the same ROM for over a yr and haven't had any issues until just this week. Any one else out there have an issue with this?
Looks like this is a Google problem. They're researching it. Read about it here.
The word is if you disable automatic send/receive and manual download instead, it should work.
However, I'm in the process of trying this now, and it's doing the same thing.
thanks, I just set-up a yahoo account and it's working good. Guess I'll push my e-mail that way until they get it figured out.

"Word" isn't entirely correct... my phone still hangs at login stage even after a hard reboot. Switching to POP access from IMAP looks more promising.
Neither worked for me, so if it works for you, you're one step ahead.
A fix for another problem seems to have fixed the problem for those who started experiencing the hanging since May 19th.
Google is still in the process of confirming whether this fix is officially *the* fix for mobile Gmail.
I can confirm on my phone that Gmail (at least manual send/receive) is now working again. I just switched back to automatic send/receive to see if that works as well.
Hi do not know if these were witnessed feel that your phone so me and my other friends was what happened to us

It would be my guess we all experienced the same thing... someone at gmail goofed. Wasn't limited to any one device or carrier. They seem to have fixed it now, mine's been working fine since the day after my last post.
Searching the internet I found something on a topic also called the sleep of death occurred only for the HTC Touch Pro 2 which had the Windows Mobile 6.5 version will leave the link in case you want to see.
