I am using push mail (mail2web) and it works great, but
as our MMS and SMS service cost exactly the same I tend to
send/receive mostly MMS'.
Problem is that every time I want to send or receive an MMS, a
popup informs me that the current internet connection needs to be
closed before the MMS connection can be made. I then have to open this
message and choose 'yes' to continue. Now this is getting very annoying
if you receive a lot of messages a day and you have to 'Manually' confirm
each one. After sending/receiving the MMS connection is automatically closed
and my 'internet' connection is automatically started again.
So my question is are there a way to remove the popup message.
After sending/receiving the 'MMS' conn. is closed and the 'internet' conn. starts up just fine without any input from me,so I only want the phone to automatically kill the 'internet' conn. without the "Please press 'yes' or 'no'" message.
Thanx...

Easy, set your MMS account to use the same GPRS connection, you wont be pestered again.
Thanx, but no.

Thanx, but the problem is not that simple. Other then the fact that it does not
work that way (for MY serv.prov.), even if I could do it,
I DON'T WANT to, because:
Data received through 'mms.conn.' is FREE, <------------------------- (important)
Data received through 'internet.conn.' is NOT FREE.
I already pay my service provider for using the MMS service and as I get
a LOT of MMS msgs. (mostly photos) every day, I am just not willing to
waste my hard earned cash that way.( ie: Paying DOUBLE for the same service. )

What he's saying there is set your internet conn as mms conn, ... I am sure you can do that somewhere.

Guys, guys, GUYZZZ...
I know that most of you are (just like me) NOT very good with the English language, but DAMMIT, how difficult can it be to understand a SIMPLE question like this???
I receive a HUGE amount of MMS's every day.
...... RECEIVING MMS on the 'MMS.CONN' is FREE.........
...... RECEIVING MMS on the 'INTERNET.CONN' is NOT FREE.........
I ONLY want to get rid of the pop-up that asks for confirmation to kill
the 'internet.conn' and noth..... Aaaaagh, JUST LEAVE IT...
PS:
Sorry to everyone, I am not in the best of moods today... This is a great forum and I am grateful for all replies...
Maybe try looking into mortscript, I think it can do those kinda things! Never used it myself though.
Thanx veyka, now THIS is more the type of answer I expect on xda-...

I am not very comfortable with the the great 'MortScript' yet AND
I am absolutely sure this confirmation pop-up can be killed with a simple
'Reg-hack', but I can't find it.
If anyone wants to help me out, but you need a better discription or
something, a screenshot maybe, please join in. I am sure I am not
the only person using MMS.
Thanx.
Post up a piccy and ill have a nosey around for more info..

Here you go...
Only Before Sending/Receiving MMS = Pop-Up (Yes/No)
After MMS has been sent/received the 'mms.conn' disconnects AUTOMATICALLY,
then my 'internet.conn' again connects AUTOMATICALLY and my
push mail (mail2web) syncs. and everything works fine, until I get
the next MMS.
Im looking into it..
Maybe try turning off the "display message on screen" in sounds and notifications, for the two connection ones..
Ill keep hunting
Edit: Maybe you didn't quite understand what zocster and mrvanx where suggesting.. that is, set your push email to use the MMS connection as well..
Hmm... I understand the simple question, i think it's unavoidable since MMS access point and GPRS/Interneet access point is always different for all operator. And the PDA is set to warn you whenever it switch accesspoint, to avoid unconfirmed dropped connection.
For now 2 options i can see:
1. Suppress the notifications automatically to not bother you (mortscript can do this i think, never tried though)
2. Shorthen the "window of conflict" time period. Maybe by prolong your pushmail checking schedules, so it will not too real-time

Yes, you definitely understand the question.
Your option 1. is exactly what I am looking for, to suppress the
notification for switching of 'internet con.' access point automatically.
As I said before, the 'MMS con.' closes itself automatically after
sending/receiving, after that the 'internet con.' connects again
automatically.
Because the 'MMS con.' closes itself automatically, I was hoping
to find a reg.key to disable this confirmation for closing 'internet con.' only.
EDIT: Sorry, double post.
(Slow internet connection and a happy trigger-finger)
Hi DexterH,
have you found a solution? I have exactly the same problem. Since the connection to the internet APN is up, it asks me for the MMS connection. When I miss this notification, I miss the mms.
Please post your solution if you found one...

To those of you who are experiencing the annoying warning message about Roaming Charges when manually trying to retrieve Xpress Mail, here is the solution:
Add this to your registry:
Code:
Key: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\ShowRoamWarning
Value: DWORD:0
I don't know if you need to, but I powered down, waited 10 seconds, and powered back up after making the change. Worked flawlessly!
I got this little tidbit from the nice folks at SEVEN, who produce Cingular's Xpress Mail application.
Now, I don't know two things about this, so use it at your own discretion...
1) This might (and probably DOES) blanketly turn off all warnings about roaming ... even if you REALLY ARE ROAMING. So if your plan doesn't include free roaming, you might not wish to make the change
2) It might also blanketly turn off the warning message for any other email type, not just Xpress Mail. I do not get the warning for my other accounts, so I am not sure of the behavior in regard to this.​Anyway, another minor annoyance out of the way for me. Hope I've made some other people here smile today as well.
-pvs
that worked like a champ! to think such a simple solution evaded us all so long thanks again!
Worked great... Thank you for getting the fix... No more warnings
I imagine this is the same flag to use for pop mail in general (I'm using outlook to retrieve mail).
One question: Does anyone know if this affects just the alert and still limits the email retrieval when it thinks you're roaming?
---
Update: The answer to my question is that the phone still things I'm roaming and doesn't automatically download emails, but at least when I do manually retrieve emails, I don't get prompted to proceed while roaming.
Hi,
First of all, I am terribly sorry if this has been answered previously by anyone. I have read through a ton of articles on different boards unsuccessfully trying to find the solution.
I am running the AX3L_WM6_WWE_v2.0.8.1 release on my trinity and after two days use I am very happy with it. However there is one problem that is getting on my nerves. MMS.
Whenever I want to send an MMS i get a warning saying:
"In order to send/download MM messages, the current active connection may be closed (this may affect other applications in use). Do you want to continue ?
This message keeps appearing and appearing untill I select menu -> yes.
The same thing happens whenevers someone tries to send me an MMS.
So I can both send and recieve, but this warning message is killing me..
In my MMS settings messages are set to automatically download.
I cant really understand the warning cause the phone automatically shifts between different connections when shifting from wap to tv-streamiing for instance.
So, does anyone know how to end this misery?
Kind Regards
Tommy
I can also add that the stupid warning keeps popping up whenever i open any messaging account (work, gmail, sms, mms) regardless if I have any MMS in the outbox or any inbound mms.
For example: I recieve an sms and click on the link to open up messaging to read it and perhaps reply, immediately I get the stupid MMS message.

change the setting to use the internet connection in your MMS I had that problem and it's great now..
Hope this help
Okay, I think I know what you mean, however it did not work, this is what i did:
MY ISP connection is a direct connection to the internet with an APN (internet.ventelo.no) and no password / user or any other setting, works great for web and every other program that requires the internet.
Under Connections - Advanced - Select Networks I have created an mms account with another apn (mms.ventelo.no) and added Ventelo's username and password for mms. This is the account that is linked to in the messaging settings.
I then went in to the messaging settings / servers and changed the "Connect Via" to "My ISP" (internet.ventelo.no) instead of using the mms account descrived above.
The result is that I cannot send or receive MMS anymore, and probably because the APN for internet-traffic and mms-traffic are different.
Any other suggestions ?
I use the same rom as you and I'm experiencing the same problem with that annoying mms pop-up...
I'm still investigating how to avoid that... For me it only happens when I connect to my PC through Activesync.
Have you discovered a solution yet?

Rayan
I have done a search and not found if there is a way to completely disable text messaging and/or SMS/MMS on my new tilt 2.
I have an unlimited data plan and still need to connect for that but I dont/wont use the messaging crap.
is this even possible??

I am on T-Mobile, so I'm not familiar with what AT&T can do, but on our network you can log in to your account at the website and disable text messaging. It won't be gone from the phone, but you won't get any text messages. I'm not sure if this turn of OUTBOUND texting.
Ill take a look in the registry for you, i think the most you'll be able to do is disable the messaging driver, but im not sure what that will do. ill be back in a bit
If you dont/wont use it... why even bother with disabling it? I dont think we're charged if we recieve a text only for sending. I could be wrong here though.
Are you worried about accidently opening a contact and typing out a message and sending it to them?

Nope but the phone tried to send an sms to some unknown/wrong number that called me!
And to Arron MC...........if you check at att site it says we get charged for BOTH incoming AND outgoing texts!!
When I get an MMS it does not download it (option to auto retrieve is set), instead the message is shown with a DOWNLOAD button, if I press this it says downloading but doesnt, sometimes the message will then show up minutes or hours later or not at all.
Anyone else having this problem?
Thanks!
edit: never mind, got confused due to multiple tabs, didn't read the thread title, didn't spot the Handcent bit.
lol No probs!
Still having this problem, can't send MMS's or receive them.
This is almost certainly due to your MMS settings. Check that they exactly match those for your service provider (menu -> settings -> wireless & networks -> mobile networks -> access point names).
I also thought this and had them resend the settings, in addition to that if they were wrong then I would never be able to send or receive MMS's.... Not just have a massive delay before/after sending/receiving!
Also this problem exists if I use the SE messaging app too not just Handcent.
From what I noticed this is due to the regular data-connection, as the regular data-connection needs to disconnect and the MMS connection going online to retreive the MMS.
I saw that at times the regular connection then tries to revert back since it went offline and thus killing the MMS transfer. If I connect to wifi the MMS will download instantly as the regular connection is down.
It's a shame that you cannot specify that MMS should be retreived over the normal data connection (yes I know a cost thing for many people).
I recall the X1 being able to set which connection to use for MMS, that was nice.
Best place to ask maybe?
A guy at work just bought a 710 and he cant accept a picture message. He is on O2 and only gets the a short message. Nothing happens when he clicks it.
I never really send picture messages myself as, but because he was having trouble I send one to a friend and asked a friend to send one back. Both of us just get links to go somewhere and log in to download the picture. We are all on different UK networks.
SO... how do I ensure a picture message shows up in the thread rather than going off and downloading it elsewhere?
Is is just a case of requesting the APN from each network provider?
I think I remember setting this up back on my Nokia Ngage, but its been a long while.
Any advise would be post helpful.
go to live.com select devices and select your phone, make sure all your sms settings are corect .. right phone number , right service and so on...
This is a network problem, not the phone. Whoever receives a link must contact their carrier for MMS/APN settings. Had this problem before with Nokia 5800, needed to go to carriers website and download APN settings.
I have an HTC Trophy and my friends have either an iPhone or Android, we can see MMS just fine, either on the same or different networks. If you receive a MMS, the picture will show there as part of the thread, otherwise if it doesn't have the right settings it will just show a link to the image.
Thank you </travis> I was sure it pretty simple but its best to ensure I know what I am asking for, before I start calling the networks. I will attempt to requested the information.
P.S: Didnt seen any SMS settings on live.
I have had a similar problem with my HD7. The problem with windows phone is you cannot change the apns for mms without a unlocked phone or at least as far as i know. When you first set up the phone it copies the apn settings of the simcard and sets them into the phone.
For some reason just out of no where mms will stop working for me and will only get the message " get attachmen" or whatever the messsage actualy says. Somtimes if i click it will work somtimes it wont. I tend to find if its someone with a really old phone sending me a mms it does not work but for instance iphone to my phone works fine with out having to download from the link. So when my phone starts acting like this i simply just soft reset it and start again.
@Jakeway: First question: does he have a working data plan and data connection? SMS (and notification of MMS) come over the voice connection (a side-channel of it, actually) but the content of MMS needs a data connection.
Second question: has he tried Nokia's Network Setup app? It's in their Marketplace section ("Nokia Collection" I believe) and should configure all the APN settings, including those for MMS, for whatever carrier you select.
@leftspeaker2000: Second question above also applies to you, except since you're on an HTC phone, you should use HTC's "Connection Setup" app. It does the same thing as Nokia's app, but for HTC.

Not sure about the Nokia app, but the HTC's connection setup does not configure APNs for all the UK networks accurately. It's generally an issue with APN-less SIMs like that of giffgaff, Tesco and Talktalk. Only 3g or data connection APN gets set up, but no MMS is set up. It's been nearly 6 months and I can't receive a single MMS on giffgaff. Tried all the settings I could possibly find on Google or Bing.
