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 bought a HTC Desire branded to Orange UK trough eBay when i was working there last month. The First thing i did was to debrand it using the 1.15.405.2 that i found on MoDaCa, and i bought a unlock key on eBay. This solution worked pretty well until the OTA update showed up, the i got the known WiFi issue. That was no biggie either, just installed the RUU of the 1.21.405.2 and the new Radio, and everything seemed to be perfect again
BUT THEN, two days ago, my phone suddenly lost it's connection to the my mobile operator . I tried to swap my sim card with another sim card, and the result was that my HTC Desire wouldn't get connection while my sim card worked well in the other phone. I also browsed trough my menus to try to find something that might be wrong, but no luck. If i tried to connect to my mobile operator manually, i got a message saying something like "SIM-card doesn't allow connection to this network".
Yesterday morning, i called HTC to try to find out if this might be a hw or sw malfunction, and he advertised me to do a factory settings restore and felt pretty confident that it only was the sw letting me down. I did as he suggested and boom, it worked...for about 5-6 hours, then it came back. As if that wasn't annoying enough, a factory settings restore didn't do the trick this time, and neither did a reflash with the goldcard. I even formated my mSD to be sure there wasn't any kind of virus on it.
So please, if anyone in here got a tip regarding sw, let me know. I'm helpless without my dear phone...
Hmmm this is my biggest concern... I'm just about to buy an ebay Orange Desire and flash it with a stock ROM and unlock it.... kinda worrying as I'm no Linux man really...
im not sure if its the same thing but i have lost conection to t mobile on my desire twice now. first time was fixed by re entering the apn. this time no change. the differance is mine is un branded. i also cant do mms any more.
Unbranded and debranded, same ****, isn't it? Niter means branded...
Seems like i'm not the only one with this problem: http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/topic/5...nt-re-connect/page__view__findpost__p__405655
Lots of Vodafone users in that forum has similar issues, but most of them seems to have a workaround by turn off the back on, or go by airplane mode to get signal back, tat doesn't work for me. I tried to flash my phone once more, but still no luck.
I'm considering a root operation and install android 2.2 aka froyo, but i'm not even sure if that is possible since i got the bootloader version 0.80...
ive just got mine working again by resting the apns to default.
mms still not working though. i hope its not a voda problem i just paid off t mobile a years contract to join voda due to terrible reception and crap tech support.
what is that, and how do you do it? I would guess that a reset to factory default and/or a complete reflash would take care of such, whatever it is...
Yep I was about to ask the same thing! what is it and how do you turn it on/off?
go to settings - wirless & networks - mobile networks - access point names - then press the menu key and hit reset to default.
hope this helps you
That did the same thing as a "reset to factory defaults", but still doesn't work
I've an unbranded unlocked desire on 3 UK with original firmware and mine does drop out occasionally but always comes back perhaps its a desire quirk !

Suppose so, but unlike you and many others, mine doesn't come back I was hoping for a fix for this issue, but i'm afraid were talking about hw malfunction, let's hope i'm wrong...
Little update, just followed this guide, but that didn't change anything. As far as i know, i now got some kind of rooted version of HBOOT 0.75 and fw.ver. 1.15.405.4, dunno about radio version. But it also says that i'm not able to install a custom rom with this rooted version, but i might be able to completely root it now and then install a custom rom?
Yet another update, i did install the 2.2 Froyo following this guide, and unlike the HTC roms, this one indicates that i do have full/optimal connection to my mobile operator, but it still won't let me call, just replies with 'Mobile network not available'.
I kinda courages me to scream out loud ****!!! Yes, i mean it...
Feedback would be nice
Just a thought, may i be that the guy i bought the phone from could have reported it as stolen with the intention of getting an insurance fee? And as a result of that, my phone have been closed by the operator? Don't even know if they mind doing such across the border. So the question would be: Is there any way to find out if my phone has been remotely closed?
Call your carrier.... they will be able to tell you if the phone is connecting to the nextwork correctly... ask them if not... why not?
I second that suggestion, try calling your carrier. Also I have found that switching the internet on directly through settings rather than using the widgets solved my connection problem.

Yep, i got contact with the seller from eBay, and he is very helpful, so he will do what he can while i will call my carrier first thing in the morning. Seems like there might be a glitch here, but i'll keep you updated on my progress.
argh, it seems like i wont get anywhere with my phone. I'm considering trying to change the IMEI, i know it's illegal, but i paid £360 for this device, and atm it's useless to me. If i only knew how tho change the imei, not exactly easy information to obtain, not even with google...

So have you found out why your having problems?
ah, sorry, thought i already told u guys, lol. Well, for some reason the phone is IMEI locked. The seller says that he did call to lock a sim card when he lost his iphone, and it might be related since it's the sim that was suppose to be in my phone. however, i think he either claimed the phone stolen to commit insurance fraud, or it's simply stolen. Another thing i came across was that the operator might blacklist the phone if it's unlocked without their blessing, don't really know if they can do that.
Either way, the only way for me to make this phone work is to convince the police that it's not stolen (i need a recite for that which he won't provide me), or to change the imei code with my "awesome" hacking skills...
Hi.
Im having problems with email on my Desire. Everything was working OK but now it seems that my emails will only download when using wifi.
If i go to my webmail page on my phone i get an error "Web page not available" and "HTTP error code 504"
If i go to my webmail page on a desktop it appears fine
Not sure if this is:
a) Something I have done myself (I switched off data while on holiday recently)
b) Something that Froyo has done (unbranded Desire with Froyo update)
c) Something that T-Mobile has done (blocked certain sites ?)
d) Something that my email provider (Tesco) has done
All other internet browsing is fine - its just the webmail page that refuses to work. I have tried it with the stock browser and also Dolphin HD.
The email widget shows its trying to sync and then 'completes' and puts a completed time in .... but hasnt retrieved the latest emails
any thoughts please ?
OK - Same site is 'unavailable' on my wifes Wildfire.
Site is also available using wifi on my Desire
Rules out Froyo .....
Can a webiste 'block' itself from mobiles ?
Would T-Mobile 'block' a webmail site ?
Thoughts anyone ?
Site still works fine from a desktop......
lol... im the only one replying to my own query
update for anyone interested....
Tesco say their system is fine.
Been on the phone to technical support who are stumped .... as T-Mobile havent officially released Froyo they couldnt even escalate the problem (my phone was an unbranded upgrade through carphone warehouse)
Did a hard reset today and still no better (mind you the hard reset also screwed up my ability to receive MMS but i sorted that quickly - the T-Mobile setup didnt work right !)
so to summarise now - My POP3 email will receive quite happily over wifi but not by 3G, even the setup states it cant connect to validate when using 3G but the setup runs fine over wifi.
My webmail will load happily over wifi - but not over 3G .....
T-Mobile have now suggested I contact HTC support. Anyone got any experience of how useful they are ???
Maybe someone will have some hints for me soon otherwise i'll end up with a huge thread just from me
I just got an HTC Desire CDMA through Cox Communications and their new Wireless Phone branch. I rooted my phone as soon as I got it. I could never send pictures for some reason. When I get a picture, I click download, but it never does. I had my original Desire replaced today because the SD reader was broken. Before I rooted my phone I tested sending and receiving. It worked. I thought it was coincidental so I rooted my phone. Low and behold, I can no longer send or receive pictures. When I try to send I get message send failed, generic network failure or something. How can rooting cause this? I even rooted it and tried it on the stock ROM without changing a single thing.
Anyone? I've looked into the whole APN thing, but Cox just started their wireless so I can't find their APN settings anywhere. And there is no APNs listed on my brothers Desire, which has had nothing done to it.
Hello.
So i bought a galaxy nexus GSM white version from Bulgarian carrier VIVACOM. I turned it on then updated to android 4.1.1
I tried to activate the mobile data with a SMS that i recieve from the carrier but it didn't work. Yesterday i called them and we installed the settings. Nothing happened. After that we deleta wap.carrier.bg. Again no effect. After long converse we didn't manage to trun the 3g and they told me that with them everything is ok. My status bar is gray and i hardly saw the "H" appearing, but still no data. I read here and in other forums, but didn't find the solution. I read here solution with changing the Radial, but I don't want to mess with this and also it is now my job. My current Radial Module is I9250XXLF1.
I want to aks you if this issue can be solved. If not i will try to change the phone with different one. I like JB, but i need a working phone.
Thank you!
Have you looked into your APN settings? That's often where issues occur for GSM phones.
fixed
The I roblem is fixed. I went to store to explain the problem and maybe return the phone. It,let is from the settings, those from call service don't know a lot. He put the settings into mms.thecarrier.bg and deleted the new APN I created. In the end everything is just fine. So I hope I will help others.
Good sharing, I think I met the similar problem, could u pls give more detail abt yr solution?

From call service of the carrier told me to create new APN. That was wrong, because nothing happened. The next day I went to one of the carrier store and explain this problem to the servant. He said it should be from the settings there is no way not to work. So he deleted the new APN that I created and put the settings into mms.thecarrier.bg. When I ask the call service what should I do with mms.thecarriername.bg should I deleted it like I deleted wap.thecarriername.bg and they said "you can leave it like this"
