Hey All!!
I have some frustrations & need a little help! I just switched from AT&T [GSM] (AT&T Tilt) to nTelos [CDMA] (HTC 6900 Touch).
The whole reason for me selecting the Touch is because it is because it is very similar to the Tilt has far as the Mods & being able to use the same programs. Plus ntelos offers the same service (almost) that AT&T does but for WAY less...also it is not as bulky. But I have a problem...
Is there any MMS software or system Mods I can download to be able to send/receive MMS Messages? Its kind of a big deal & I am unable to do so. I don't have the MMS option under my messages. I have look on here for HOURS & the only software I am finding is for Sprint users, like the sMMS program. Can someone help??
Are you using a stock rom or have you flashed already ?

I am using stock ROM. I don't know anything about Flashing it or really what that means.
I called nTelos & they stated that I would have to send/receive pics using my emailed on my phone. I don't think they even have MMS servers to be able to send for PPCs. Any other phone w/ them can send/recieve from other cell phones & companies...like the LGs, Motorolas etc...but not the Smartphone or PPCs. I think that's a load of CRAP!!
I've downloaded the program (I can't remember the name right now...it started w/ an A or find the cab for it) but it the installed SMS/MMS software program that usually comes w/ Windows based PPCs & that didn't work either b/c I had no server info to set up.
OH WELL!! I guess I'll have an ALMOST perfect phone.
I was able to recieve a picture message using the sprint MMS server settings. im not sure if it was suppose to work, but it did

I have the Tmobile dash and want to run AT&T on it without having all the junky tmobile software (ESPECIALLY THE STARTUP ANIMATION). Is there a Rom that could be used to have software with AT&T stuff on it?
Just wanted to ask. Friend wants this phone but with AT&T stuff on it.

None that I know of. All of the ROMs besides T-Mo officials are gonna display either Rogers or HTC screens. Nothing with AT&T since AT&T doesn't carry the Excalibur.
HTC screen would work. just so long as not tmobile. will have to see what is a good rom to use that does not have the myfaves junk or the other stuff. any good recommendations on roms that work good for it?
Thanks for the help.

Try out Ricky's v23 ROM. It has a lot of programs on it, but they're *useful*. Also, it's Windows Mobile 6.1, which is hot hot hot.

There's also some steps you can also perform to add custom startup splash screens, Now granted it will still show either the tmobile or htc first screen (depending on the rom you have) and then the windows mobile screen after that , but the 3rd screen, where applicable can be changed to whatever 320 X240 .gif image and the startup and shutdown sounds can also be changed too. So in other words, although you will have the HTC screen if you chooses kavana's or rick's ROM you can still create a custom At&t ( or find one) .gif image to be displayed at startup. Here's the link for instructions for that.

Read the stickys on upgrading. Jocky made a bypass for offical ROMs and 6.1 doesnt even need it
Got this all setup for my Tmobile Wing. Whohoo. Now looking at the Dash on trying to setup the AT&T settings for Internet and MMS, etc.
Any clues? Easy to do on Wing with touchscreen and more options to choose from.
I have it updated with the HTC 1.33.422.1 (Worldwide English, WM6) ROM. (Didn't want the Tmobile one)
Thanks,
Flandrel

Have you tried the AT&T website? T-Mobile's site has the settings for MMS and Internet, so AT&T's may have the same.
They're also posted in the wiki. I've been looking for someone to test them out to see if they actually work with AT&T.

Found the settings in the wiki. Gonna try them out and will let you know.
UPDATE: This is with Factory Tmobile WM6 ROM.
Going by these settings:
# MMSC settings for MMS:
#
Start > Messaging > Scroll to MMS > Menu > Settings > MMSC Settings
* Name is AT&T MMS
* MMSC is http://mmsc.cingular.com
* Data connection is The Internet
* Gateway is WAP 2.0 Gateway
* IP Address is 66.209.11.32
* Port is 80
* Encoding is Binary (DO NOT SEE THIS OPTION ANYWHERE)
* Click "done"
#
Then in Send Options
* Priority is normal
* Validity period is maximum (DO NOT SEE THIS AREA AT ALL)
* Deffered Delivery is immediate (DO NOT SEE THIS AREA AT ALL)
* Click "done"
#
Then in Receive Options (DO NOT SEE THIS AREA AT ALL)
* Home and roaming reception is automatic
* Allowed message types: informational, advertisement, auto
These settings from the Wiki are for the "From AT&T's settings support page for the Motorola Q Global"
Unless the MotoQ has alternate settings you can choose.
I even did not see alot of those settings using the HTC ROM for the Excalibur either.

Well if you live in LA Tmobile cell service is not the greatest great service for texting though. that's why I use AT&T. They were alot better when they were Cingular. AT&T are very arrogant, JMO.

1. Tmobile in my area SUCKS!! Always has, always will. Customer service was rotten to the core. Even the local representatives were arrogant and not very helpful.
2. Tmobile told me before when I kept losing signal or had no signal that it was my phone. I unlocked it and kept Tmobile SIM card in and still had issues. Tried AT&T SIM card in it and got full complete signal. Tmobile didn't know what they were talking about.
3. AT&T has always been good to me. Not to mention I get a corporate discount of 25% off my bill and accessories. None of this with Tmobile.
4. Tmobile never, never would give any type of deal on phones. Had to beg and plead and they still wouldn't. With AT&T I got 4 phones (2 samsung, LG, and my Tilt) totaling $1500 for $50 after rebates, etc. Could not pass this deal up.
5. Tmobile been promising for last year and half for 3G. Still don't have it up and if they do it is just in the beginning stages. That was a condition I had when I signed up. Talked to local rep and even called customer service when I signed up in May 2007. They told me by end of 2007 that 3G would be available. It is just now getting there if even that.
6. But I would still like to be able to use my Wing as a backup in case. So still trying settings out to get it to work, even though it will never have 3G on it.

I cant recieve any MMS or send them either. They just stay in the outbox when I try to send them. When I was with tmobile, they worked, but then I unlocked my phone, switched to ATT, and upgraded to WM6.1 and they no longer work.
What can I do?
Thanks

Thanks! I actually tried this before, but it wasn't working until I did a few different things. Whenever it tells you to add something, make sure you delete everything else first. I don't know if there really is any difference, but it worked for me.

Can you please provide more detail? I've had no luck trying to send picture thru mms.
Yah I have tried to help him with no success either... Hopefully someone out there is using At&t and is able to help him out.
Arite man here goes nothing, but an attempt...
I work in the technical department of a cellular service provider in the caribbean. We are not as advanced as the americans, etc in the sense of having 3g and stuff like that. Anyways, lol we do provide edge service and i have a dash w/wm6.1 Rom. I also have blackberry connect on my device. Up until recently i never tried sending MMS, so when i attempted to, i ran into a similar error. after reading a thread to fix on here, i finally received my first MMS (which was pending for days by the way), but i still couldnt send.
here's my fix...
since im using BB connect on my device, im connected with EDGE all the time. so i used my connection settings and just added or subtracted a few options from the MMS settings.
the only options i ticked in the settings were: automatic download in home and roaming network, save sent messages and allow delivery report. i then inserted the necessary MMS settings provided by my network: URL, Gateway, Port; always connect via the Internet. After this i was able to receive.
The problem with my network is that it uses WAP or blackberry to send or receive MMS, but since im using BB connect, i wouldnt have all the defaulted settings as a BB device would, so i had to set up a WAP connection and i was able to get rid of my messaged stored in the outbox.
this should be a good solution for you if you know the settings for your service provider, or you can always call and ask for the settings, since it cannot be sent OTA with the Dash.
Yea i know its kind of a long post, but i wanted to give a detailed rundown of how i got mine to work.
I just recently purchased the Desire and the same night I rooted my phone with unrevoked. Since then I have been unable to send and receive MMS. Some of my coworkers who got new phones the same day and didn't touch them are able to receive MMS. My question is, do you think that this is because I rooted it, or chance it is a problem with my phone? If it is a problem with the phone, do I have to unroot it before bringing it in to my service provider or do you think they wouldn't notice?
Prob be something to do with the root. Just flash a stock Froyo rom and it should be alright. Just make sure you do a nandroid backup first just to be safe
I had the same issue with my Desire, but managed to fix it just yesterday.
Find the homepage for your provider and they normally have a guide for setting up MMS, which is, normally in the case of HTC Desire, automatic. But if you try see the manual set-up for non-supported phones and you enter those values/data, it's all gravy again
Sounds like a pretty common problem with small providers. I tried looking around and was unable to find any settings on the website...
Try see if you can Google it. I noticed that there are sites which are dedicated to collecting all the settings of different providers (definitely here in DK) and making them accessible in tables.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Man...I've been trying to find it but I can't....I have cellcom (usa-Wisconsin) maybe someone else can help me locate something.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Okay, I also tried seeing if I could find the settings for cellcom in the States and no luck: just Israel. Also not a very informative webpage for cellcom either.
If you don't want to unroot your phone etc. I would think contacting the company by mail and asking for the manual settings might pay off. I'm pretty sure this is the issue as mms and internet settings are automatically set-up for each phone model in some providers and rooting might have removed the settings from identifying it as an HTC Desire, though I have no way to be sure.
So you should receive a reply with the MMS proxy and port, the MMSC and APN.
It definitely worked for me.
Hope it all works out!
That's how it can be described, I apologize in advance for the somewhat repeat of the thread (posted over in the Touch Pro 2 CDMA hood) because my TP2 is the verizon version. BUT it's GSM unlocked and I am running with Simple Mobile. I have no problem inputting the settings for the connection... their website has all the info right there. I reboot and everything seems fine and dandy or so I think.
I can send 50% of the time, and receiving I can do only once. Meaning I can receive one MMS and I have that issue where the picture is small. Anything after that gives me an error saying "bad gateway" and then I think I hear it laughing at me. It doesn't matter which ROM I am using. Energy, Blackout, try cooking my own, the stock VZW one... I only use the CDMA ROMS given the phone is CDMA.
Only posting over here due to the fact I am rolling with a GSM carrier. Hence a trainwreck.
Just came to mind, is it possible to experiment with the T-Mobile Touch Pro 2 stock Arcsoft MMS, would need a link to it. Been searching high and low but no luck. Any info to help resolve this issue would be awesome.
I appreciate XDA and all here, this place ROCKS!
I love sense roms. I don't care about how slower they are than AOSP roms, but the only problem is that when i recieve a MMS message it is very small and blurry if i try to enlarge it. I have been searching and searching in the community to try and find a solution to this. When i was using Insert_coins 2.1 w/ 3.0 goodies rom i tried to flash his MMS size fix, but it didn't work and I have used Superwipeg2+ to completely clean off my device to make sure no traces of roms are left on it. When i started making this thread i saw in the little suggested box on "How to fix MMS on Sense 3.0 roms for the droid incredible" I thought about trying it, but I believe the droid incredible is a Sprint phone and I am on Tmobiles Network. Hopefully there's someone out there who can help me with this. Right now i am running rmk's virtuous fusion rc2 fusion rom On a tmobile network and i have a G2 ??
bump, because nobody seems to know the answer to this problem. I am on T-Mobile US, btw.
I think its to do with the operator not supporting the user agent of the MMS client.
When you receive an MMS, your operator checks what kind of phone you have by pushing a message to the MMS client, The MMS client then responds with a user agent before downloading the content. Some networks have a fail safe lowest quality if your phone is not recognised (O2 definately in the UK) and resize the message.
You could either get your operator to add the exact user agent string of your phone (read ROM) which you'll have to find, or easier, spoof yours to something common like the Nokia N97. You'll have to search or ask your ROM provider how to do this because I don't have a clue how to on Android. I did it on my previous Touch Pro 2 at WM 6.5.5
I haven't got the agent handy but Google it. If I find it, I'll post it.
