MMS issues - T-mobile, UK - Desire General

Guys, having difficulty sending MMS. I'm in the UK, I've a Desire on T-Mobile that I've debranded. I can send to myself fine, just having difficulties going to others. No error messages. I've tried from Messages app and Handcent - slideshows from Messages usually works, Handcent doesn't - have set max size of MMS to 300k and tried spoofing iPhone/N95 etc.
I really want Handcent to work - anyone got any suggestions? Seen a potential fix of having T-Mobile disable MMS then reenable 48 hours later which seems a bit of a stretch.
Anyone got any suggestions?
Ric

What are your MMS AP settings?
JAmes.

here
general.t-mobile.uk
no proxy
port not set
username user
password ***
server not set
mmsc http://mmsc.t-mobile.co.uk:8002
mms proxy 149.254.201.135
mms port 8080
mms protocol wap 2.0
mcc 234
mnc 30
authentication type not set
apn type mms
I can send them to myself fine...just not others reliably.

I have the same issue, I have spent ages with t-mobile support, they have removed and re-applied the settings, but still fails. If I send a mms to another t-mobile account it works. otherwise I normally get the error saying the "message format is corrupt"

What ROM are you using? I noticed when I rooted mine, when running 1.15 ROM, the MMS was extremely flakey, but as soon as I started with 1.21 based ROMS (and now running WWE1.21 from here) it works fine!
For the record too... While running 1.15 WWE, I had edited, deleted, re-entered the APN settings countless times and it proved useless...

I couldn't get handcent to work on T-Mob with MMS but could send them through the built in messaging app.
Seemed to be Handcent causing me problems!
You're not alone

Hi, I have tried the default message and handcent, bith fail.
I am still on rom 1.15.110. checked for updates but says I am up to date

I'm on 1.21

I'm on latest official HTC ROM - i.e. I've flashed it from the old T-Mobile one to 1.21 unbranded.
Why is there always some small but significant flaw with HTC handsets?!?!?

I am now on the official 1.21 update, and woohoo, I have managed to send one (1) mms lol but it took 12 hours to arrive?

WM6 Black v2.00 MMS Problem

Guys,
Since upgrading to WM6 Black Edition v2.00 my vodafone MMS is no longer working, the phone seems to connect to HSDPA automatically spontaneously but it then downloads nothing? Nor does it download the initial text telling me that there is an MMS to download?
I've tried reinstalling the Vodafone .cab file that I have for WM5 but that seems to have made no difference, I've also tried adding the MMS settings manually, but WM6 is a little different to WM5 so perhaps I'm missing something?
Can anyone help?
In addition, if I click SEND AND RECEIVE in MMS, I see 'Error syncronising' at the bottom in the status bar?
i have a similar problem with my wm6 BE 2.0 .... no mms... i installed the setttings manually and it connects and drops down instantly... any ideeas?
I have no trouble with MMS. I have Orange CH settings manualy setuped.
When I select send & recieve I also recieve the syncronisation error but I am still able to flawlessly send/recieve MMS.
Same here -- using Custel's cingular version.
i wonder if it's something with my account. I was never able to do this with WM5, but i suspected it was something on my setup. Custel kindly installs settings for us, and it still dioesn't work. I didn't report back in that thread, didn't want to crap in it too much.
You have to set up the Cingular server:
Open outlook
menu-tools-options- MMS
servers tab on bottom- NEW
server name: (whatever you want) I put CINGULAR
gateway: wireless.cingular.com
port # 80
server: http://mmsc.cingular.com
connect via: the internet
size: 300k
wap: WAP 2.0
then tap OK on the bottom, highlight CINGULAR (or whatever you named it) and tap "set as default"
Make sure those are your settings....
I'm on black 2.5 and previously black 2.0 .
Neither send/receive MMS. I just entered these settings and still get
"Sync Error"

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=301279
I've too got the same problem, and have to comment actually - I loved Black v2 at first, it was slick, fast and much quicker than any other Rom that I've tried, however I am positive that its slowing down more and more? I've only installed TomTom v6 and yet it takes a while even to switch the phone off standby, even longer to try and dial a number!?
Looking forward to the next WM6 Live version now, so as to give that a go!
i have the same problem. im on tmobile usa and i have not been able send or recieve anything can anyone please help. i've been asking forever.

MMS on 6.1

Sorry to ask such a stupid question guys, but how the hell does this work???
MMS doesn't seem to be in the front screen of messages anymore, but when I select new the option for MMS is there, it lets me create a new MMS but will not send? I have the settings in the 'Connections' part of settings and they are correct (used to work for Orange many years ago) but what I can't seem to find is the MMS Server settings as MMS is not listed in 'Tools/Options'
What the hell am I missing?
Thanks in advance guys

MMS on 6.1 not working, still.
MMS is still not functioning for me on my ATT 8525.
I am using FARIA.R-32 6.1 ROM (Dated 11/06/07), with Radio version 1.47.00.10 and Protocol: 32.80.7020.20H. I have repeatedly tried installing ArcSoft 4281 and 5.0.31.11. I have run through the connection settings, MMS settings and also even ran the Network Wizard.
Every time I try to receive msgs, I get a "Error Synchronizing" but they send no problem. I also called ATT earlier and had them ensure that the MMS was enabled for my phone. Any thoughts?
MMS works like a charm with CRC's Release 10 WM 6.1

What rom are you using, I think you should post this issue in that thread so you can get the proper help.
SPB may be harming your MMS state
Most likely you are using SPB's backup. That, when used will wipeout your MMS on a restore of your contacts. The best way around this is to hard reset your device, then reload your contacts using ActiveSync and Outlook. SPB can be used but not for your email, contacts, etc. unless you want to lose your MMS ability. A hard reset is done by the two - keys simultaneously and also holding in the power button from a powered off state.
Yes....probably.
Sure for me, with a restore with SPB restore...
But there is a way to set or restore the original registry value/settings?

Mine always does this IF I try to manually send/receive....MMS's should come to your phone automatically and u should not need to ever press that button.
thats been my experience anyway..

[Q] Oxygen 2.0 MMS recipients getting unsupported error + missing MMS protocol in APN

Hello XDAdevelopers,
I have recently flashed my HTC Desire to Oxygen2.0RC7 and nobody can receive my MMS messages. They all get "unsupported media type". I have been looking into my APN settings and it looks like MMS Protocol is completely missing from the list of options in this ROM. Anyone else have this issue?
Would it make sense that people cannot receive my MMS but I can receive theres because of the MMS Protocol option missing?
Thanks,
Bryan
Flashed to Oxygen 2.0.1 now. Still doesn't seem to work. Gingerbread is missing the MMS Protocol option. Looks like there are only a handful of ISP's that use this.
Yup i cant send/receive MMS too.
i tried AOSP ROMs like ginger, redux and oxygen.
all of them dont have the "MMS Protocol: Wap 2.0" in the APN Setting.
But in Leedroid which is sense based. with the same settings plus the MMS protocol. i have no MMS problems at all.
i have searched the forums, tried different settings but still no mms for AOSP roms.
This is missing from the AOSP apparently. Someone has filed a bug and I have added to it my troubleshooting and work around. Please log in and star the bug and contribute a comment.
Apparently I cannot post links yet until I have eight posts Here is the google search keywords.
Issue 13528: Missing MMS Protocol

[Q] Unable to send or receive MMS - Cyanogen 6.1.1

This was happening with previous stable releases of Cyanogen for the Slide as well, I just never really had any need to use MMS before so never bothered to look for assistance.
I swapped my sim card into a Nokia Nuron to ensure it is not a network issue (everything was fine on the Nuron). Whenever I try to send a MMS it just sticks at "Sending..." when I receive one and press the download button it gets stuck at "Downloading...". I've tried sending messages to my own number as well as others. Same for receiving, multiple people have tried sending messages from different carriers all with that same result.
I've tried changing the default APN (epc. tmobile .com) to wap. voicestream. com as well as providing the MMS proxy settings that some devices seem to need (216.155.165.50:8080) and still have the same results.
Any assistance in this matter would be very much appreciated as I've got several MMS messages waiting on the network that I would very much like to be able to retrieve.
Thanks in advance!
Here are my current APN settings:
Name: T-Mobile US
APN: epc.tmobile.com
Proxy: <Not Set>
Port: <Not Set>
Username: none
Password: <Not Set>
Server: *
MMSC: ht tp: / /mms.msg.eng.t-mobile. com/mms/wapenc
MMS proxy: 216.155.165.50
MMS port: 8080
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
Authentication type: <Not Set>
APN type: default,supl
Here's an update.. I'm now able to retrieve the MMS messages that were sent to me after adding an additional APN to the device.
I added an APN with the name "T-Mobile MMS"
APN: epc.tmobile.com
MMSC: mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
However I still cannot send any MMS messages, does anyone have any ideas or suggestions now?
Scratch that, it allowed the pending messages to be downloaded from the network but new messages still will not download.... Issue remains and I have no idea why a few of them finally came through.
Try changing the wap.voicestream APN to default/not set.

Could you please be a bit more specific as to what you are suggesting? I do not have a wap.voicestream.com APN set on this device. Are you suggesting I leave the APN blank for the "T-Mobile US" APN? Note that I've since removed the "T-Mobile MMS" APN as it was no longer working (and not even selected for that matter).
You said you changed the default T-Mobile APN to wap.voicestream.com. I was saying leave all the MMS settings in that APN to not set. Here are my current and working APN settings:
Name: data (this can be whatever)
APN: wap.voicestream.com
Proxy: Not set
Port: Not set
Username: Not set
Password: Not set
Server: Not set
MMSC: Not set
MMS Proxy: Not set
MMS Port: Not set
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
Authentication Type: Not set
APN Type: Not set
Just tried your settings and unfortunately the issue still persists. I tried both wap.voicestream.com as well as epc.tmobile.com for the APN with everything else not set (minus the MCC & MNC), same results.
I appreciate you taking the time to respond, would you happen to have any other suggestions? For now I have reverted my APN settings back to default for CyanogenMod 6.1.1.
The other thought would be that something got hosed during the ROM flash or it has something to do with your T-Mobile account. Try flashing the ROM again without doing a wipe and see if it fixes it (doubt it though) if not then call T-Mobile and see if they can look into it on their end.

I too doubt that re-flashing will work but I'll give it a shot anyway. As for as contacting T-Mobile, they will just have me swap my SIM and test in another device which works fine, then they'll have my master reset the Slide and test again (I used to work as a tech care rep there so I know the procedures pretty well). I'll post back my results from re-flashing.
Went ahead and reflashed the 6.1.1 ROM that I've been using and I still have the problem. I am tempted to try out the RC of version 7 but it has problems with WiFi which I use all the time.
Does anyone else have any ideas as to what could be wrong?
I'm running RC2 and don't experience the wifi issues some people are reporting. I do have issues with tower data from time to time, but it only seems to be with the tower feeding the area where I work.
Im having the same problem. Yesterday i was able to txt without problem. Today after going to sleep i tried to txt and it didnt work. I figured it was the 6.1.1 so im going back to wipe and restore to old version. I will post my results.
So i tried to go back to a previous version thinking it was 6.1.1 but it wasent. i think its the phone itself or its tmoblies fault. Im going to the store to ask them.
Another update: Picked up my phone about an hour ago and about 10 MMS messages came rushing through to me. Even messages that have been pending to be sent to myself were successfully sent as well as received.
All of this without me changing a thing on my device (CyanogenMod 6.1.1 default APN settings).
As of right now my issue appears to be resolved... I find it hard to believe that the towers in my area would be the problem though since whenever I would swap my SIM card it would work 100% of the time on other devices.
Not going to complain that it's working, I just wish I knew WHY it's working now all of a sudden.
Have you tried sending another MMS to yourself to make sure its "fixed" and you didn't just randomly get that batch of messages.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using Tapatalk
It did in fact stop working again.
I had tested it several times since those messages had come through and it had continued to work, but once again I am stuck at sending...
I'm getting pretty frustrated at this issue now. It appears to me that the device must be configured correctly if it was working an hour ago. I dread the throught of contacting T-Mobile because I know they'll have to escalate this type of issue to ATSG (Advanced Technical Support Group) which can take quite a long time.
I have to do some traveling tomorrow so I'll do some testing in other areas to see if this issue is limited to the tower near my house.
EDIT:
When it was working earlier I had WiFi enabled. When I attempted to send a MMS the E/3G/H data indicator would pop up while the message was being sent or received, however I am no longer seeing this (it's only showing a WiFi connection, E/3G/H no longer pops up like it was earlier). This leads me to believe that the device isn't even attempting to make the correct data connection in order to send the MMS anymore.
EDIT AGAIN:
I just toggled my WiFi off and on again and tried to re-send the message, it worked this time. Still no clue as to why it's working sometimes but not all the time.
I tried sending a text to me and it failed. I rolled back to previous settings and still nothing. It might work 2moro. But if not im going to tmobile about this.
good very good, i don't care

I wish I could help you with your text messaging problem but I would suggest you create a new forum thread as this one is focused on MMS which is completely different than SMS.
As for my MMS issue, I am still able to MMS myself without any issues.
Thank you DonJuan for your assistance!

You are not the only one. I am using ArayrayMod and I am getting problems sending and receiving MMS. Texts work fine. Its really hit or miss right now.
I contacted Tmo and they said it was a known issue and its all over the network - No ETA at this time. I even had a manager verify that issue with me as I don't trust them fully at the Tier 1 techs.

Cannot send MMS from my Desire HD :(

Hey all,
Trying to send MMS with my Desire HD and it just wont send any!!
I am using a ICS ASOPX rom, i tried cm7.2 (stable) and i was able to send one to myself, thought brilliant!
Tried to send another, just would fail/time out. Same as the ICS rom.
any idea's?
Or is my phone just crap.
Also it doesn't seem like a carrier problem, i put my sim card into a iPhone and it sent/received mms no worries
I believe (don't quote me on this lol) that its a known issue on ICS/JB
Try using CM7 again and see what happens. Also what carrier are you using, which country and have you checked the MMS/APN settings?
The Corner approves..
That thanks button ain't gonna push itself!
You just clicked this cause its hidden didn't you?
I am in Australia using Vodafone AU at the moment, but soon to be on amaysim (optus).
Checked my APN settings hundreds of times, entered them manually, got them off the sim, carrier website still no dice.
Hopefully it isn't a ICS/JB issue because this ICS rom kicks ass!
CM7 just feels so old
I did try it for a few hours (CM7) and it was doing the same thing.
Hoping it isn't a JB/ICS bug
Turn ON mobile data and it shuld work.
Otherwise restart your device and try it again.
Tried with data on/off, WiFi on/off,
Still no joy.
Flashed a different radio, still no difference

May be onto something.
Flashed back to stock, MMS now magically works no problems
Back to stock as in an RUU? Or flashing a rooted stock ROM?

I grabbed a rooted stock ROM and MMS has been flawless so far.
Downside is....HTC sense, and android 2.3
I have the same problem, perfect mms on rooted stock rom, but on Jelly Bean it refuses to send the damn message....
Same here, However work fine in CM7
Same issues here. Using CM7 no problems. Using a JB rom (tried jellytime & codefirex), I can get Vodafone Au to work if all the settings (internet & mms) are in a single APN. When I switch to Optus (Au), I can send mms if I use mms only settings but have no internet. I am unable to combine all the settings into a single APN as with Vodafone. If I use the recommended APNs for internet and mms (separate APNs) I can no longer send mms. Then if I switch on wifi, I can. Has to be some sort of jb bug.
This is getting very frustrating.:what:
Sent from my Infected V3.0 using xda premium
I couldn't send mms on Telstra AU (Jelly Time ROM) for a couple days and I spent HOURS changing settings until I FINALLY managed to get it to work.
Don't bother ringing the telco and getting help for anyone thinking of doing that - they have NO idea what is going on.
Anyway, I found what worked for me was doubling up the settings.
Telstra comes with 4 APN settings, normally the Telstra.wap is selected as default. Some phones only have the one setting (Telstra . wap) and everything works - everyone is different for some reason...
ANYWAY... the problem thereafter is that the other 3 settings are all fighting for the MMS profile, and it basically - screws everything up.
So... if you have other APN settings there, modify them - go to APN type and delete the ,mms part ONLY. I found deleting the APNs to stop my internet from working etc. and only leave the proper .mms APN with the mms setting
If that doesn't solve your problem (and it didn't for me the 2nd time I installed a Jelly Time ROM) - add the ,mms to the default Telstra . wap and leave the Telstra . mms, add the mms settings to the .wap APN (MMSC, MMS Proxy and MMS Port etc.)
If that doesn't work, modify the Telstra.mms to have the Proxy and Port set to the same values as in the MMS Proxy and MMS Port, also change it to PAP or CHAP
After a reboot this should work...
So my two settings look like the below:
shifted-is said:
telstra.mms settings:
Name: Telstra MMS
APN: telstra.mms

MCC: 505
MNC: 01

APN Type: default,supl,mms
APN Protocol IPv4

Get rid of the spaces in the MMSC between the dot and the com and change the 0 to an o... says I can't post links to "outside websites"
Will this work on other services? I don't know... but may help people play around with the settings and see if it does fix their issues.
Hope it helps...

It's like u just checked MMS APN, nothing else. Except u now can't get data connection, so I think this is not very helpful.
I have the same problem with CM11 KitKat. When I'm sending MMS, I have to switch APN to MMS settings, and for internet I have to change back to Internet APN. On CM10.1 all worked fine... But, for me it's not a big deal, cause I rarely send MMS, so...
