Picture messages - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Picture messages - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

OK I rooted my phone and flashed the newest AEM rom and for some reason I can't send or receive any picture messages it either says downloading or it gets stuck on sending. Can anyone help me out because I can't figure out how to fix it
Sent from my mistress

try downloading anycut from the market. once installed open it and select new shortcut...activity...find apns or apn and create a shortcut. once it says created go to your home screen and find it. it should say apns or apn. click it and you should see sprint with a circle next to it...click the circle so that it becomes selected. exit and try to send text. if it doesnt work reboot and try again.

error TXT MSG (weird, huh?) received everytime restart phone

Hi, I have an unlocked dash that I'm using with Cingular and everytime I restart it, I get this text message from 1121611611 and it says:
"453 Please re-send using a valid 10 digit mobile number or valid short code. 06050415CC15CC60D8"
I'm using the T-mobile WM6 rom that they released. Any ideas as to how I can fix this?
On a side note, also whenever I restart my phone, the ring tone goes back to the default "Ring-WindowsMobile" instead of the ring tone I had selected before I restarted my phone. Any ideas? Thanks!

the text message is from your my fav 5 trying to check in with T-Mobile on every restart. because you are on Cingular it is giving you this error. you need to look in your "Start Up" folder and delete the Myf5.lnk file. this is not an easy task. it is a read only file. i had luck turning off the data and push then renaming the file then deleting it.
good luck

actually, its pretty easy to delete.
using celetask, change the settings to show exlude. restart the device then go into celetask and stop the my five app from running. you can then go and delete it.

Internet now working on Sprint Touch w/new ROM

I hope starting a new thread is the way to go on this...
I just updated to the new Sprint Official WM 6.1 ROM, and immediately could not connect to the internet.
I tried running the IOTA automatic data provisioning update (Start->Settings->Personal Tab->Phone->Services Tab->Internet->Get Settings->Start) and it failed repeatedly with a 1012 error. As was posted by others, I noticed that there was a "CurrentUserName" setting in Start->Settings->System->Device Information that had [email protected] where I would have expected to see [email protected] instead. (that would have been my Sprint provided email address) The first thing I tried was to go to the phone dialpad and dial ##3282# to start the EPST program and check my data provisioning settings (this requires that you know your MSL - Master Service Lock Code - if you are going to edit). UserName was blank there, so I tapped the blank setting and held down until an "EDIT" menu popped up. I tapped "EDIT" and changed it to the previously correct [email protected] value. After saving changes and another reboot, I still could not connect to the internet, run IOTA, and the "CurrentUserName" was still wrong. After searching through various settings looking for a way to change the currentusername, I installed PHM Registry Editor and searched again.
In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/OEM/DIM there is a key "EnableCurrentUserName" and it was set to 1. I edited that and set it to 0, exited the Registry Editor, and restarted the device by holding the power button until it warned me about shutting down. I tapped "Yes" and it shut down and restarted. The "CurrentUserName" setting no longer appeared in the Device Information page. At this point I was able to run IOTA successfully and imediately after that I could use the internet and other data services.
I hope this helps someone. Sorry to be so long winded, but I was trying to answer as many "How? Where?" questions as I could as I went.
Briefly:
1. Using WM Registry Editor software, change HKLM/Software/OEM/DIM/"EnableCurrentUserName" from 1 to 0 then save changes and exit editor.
2. Dial ##3282# and edit UserName to correct [email protected] address. Device will reboot when you exit and save changes.
3. Run IOTA by going to Start->Settings->Personal Tab->Phone->Services Tab->Internet->Get Settings->Start

anyone else know if this works?
i just flashed the new sprint rom and now the data connection does not work.. no internet.. ? I was just wondering if anyone else had this problem and does this fix it?

After some more time with this ROM installed I have found that it is not neccessary to change the ##DATA# (##3282#) user name settings. Just change the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/OEM/DIM/EnableCurrentUserName value to zero, save changes and then you can run the IOTA update successfully (or at least I can).
I have found that I need to do this every time I do a hard reset of my device. I hope this helps someone else.

this did not work for me.. I Get error code 67
i started a new thread here........ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=415666
so maybe someone will chime in... the ##3282# does not work for me at all.. you hit that on the dial pad and nothing happens... so i can not access that menu...
For now i went back to a OEM rom and called sprint and they got me working by doing a MASTER RESET... also ##3282# works on OEM roms but i think the file EPST.EXE is missing from the CUSTOM roms... any input would be great..

Not working for me.
i'm sure a master reset from within #778 or whatever would work but i don't feel like
putting in the data again.

I just upgraded to NFSFAN's latest ROM, everything went well but I can not get my internet to work. The one thing I did notice is under the services tab, internet is not an option. I loaded the dcd sprint carrier 20090714 cab am I missing something else?
Thank you for any help you can provide.

Update:
Well I went back and flashed to the HTC 6.1 rom, then back to the 6.5 rom. That fixed my internet issues, but that option is still missing for me. Then after all of that my MSID was really screwed up. Everything seems to be good now.

please please help me clear the instructions
i have a horribly vague idea of what i need to do, to get the internet working again.
i already got the IOTA_1120 zip file in my cell but when i even try to open it up it says that there is no application that is related to to it, so i must start this application and open up the file from within. How do i do this? am I even doing what im supposed to??
Where exactly is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/OEM/DIM and how do i get there???
if you could please instruct me with simple stieps i would greatly appreciate it, simple being like start>program files> etc.
please help i am one step away from smashing this damm cell into the wall

The path of HKEY.... is actually on the registry. You need to use a registry editor (like PHM Regedit) to make the necessary changes to the registry. I would recommend you to re-read those instructions as they will not get any easier than that. Alternatively, if you are on Sprint's official rom and have absolutely no clue what you are doing, you can always call them and ask them for help.
As far as the IOTA zip file, if you cannot open it, that means that you do not have any program to extract from compressed files in your device. Your best bet is to transfer the file to the desktop and extract it there. Once you are done, place the extracted contents back in the device and run it in there.

Rooted htc desire cdma broken MMS

I've seen a lot of posts regarding mms being broken after rooting. Has anyone gotten it to work? I am with Cellcom Green Bay, WI.
Sent from my HTC Desire CDMA using XDA App

I'm actually with Cellcom in Green Bay as well! I'm running Cyanogenmod 7.1. If you have any questions about what works and what doesn't, feel free to ask me! I've actually tried quite a few ROMs on the Desire.
And just to be clear, rooting worked fine. I'm able to text and take calls. However, with the ROM I'm running, I had to download a different text messaging app, because the default app doesn't split messages longer than 160 characters, so the messages wouldn't send when they were really long. Easy fix though. No worries.

Ligor,
Great to hear that you have things working on your desire. Rooting worked fine and I can make/receive calls fine. Data and internet work fine along with sending and receiving regular text messages. MMS picture messages don't work. I get failure messages back when sending or receiving MMS.
Can you send and receive MMS?
Thanks,
Mike
Sent from my PB99400 using XDA App

I'm testing it now. It appeared to send correctly. I'll let you know if the person I sent it to responds.
EDIT: MMS is not working for me right now. I'm looking into some fixes for it. It appears you would need to install a new mms.apk for the appropriate version of the ROM you're running and change some APN settings.

Ok. I am still on the Cellcom stock ROM. I can see the APN settings and they still appear to be Cellcom. Don't know what may have changed though. I'll keep looking and post if I figure something out. Please let me know if you figure it out.
Thanks!

im also on a cdma desire, but with us cellular. i have similar issues with mms, sometimes they will send, most of the time not. running cm7.1 too. i was using some other sense rom from 2fastroms that i had to mess with the apn settings to get it to actually send any kind of message, but never could get mms to work.

Seems to be a combination of the UTSI_* setting and APN settings. This post leads down that path. I haven't had a chance to try changing anything.
forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/14506-apn-mms-issue/page__st__20
My phone has UTSI_005 set and it looks like it should be UTSI_006
Also found that the CID might be set wrong after rooting.

You went over my head with that post lol. As far as just getting root, I had no problem with the stock rooted rom.

UPDATE
I got MMS working today by following the instructions on this site -
2fastroms.com/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=202
There is a file specific to Cellcom that has the CID updated already
==> Cellcom_mms-fix.zip
The instructions below worked for me. Thanks to 2fastroms.com for this!
I did get a "general network error" when sending a picture, but the message did go through. Also received a cannot download image when receiving a picture message, but it did download.
Step 1:
You need copy the downloaded zip to your sd card. Boot into recovery by using reboot to recovery if a option in your rom. If not power down the device. Hold volume down and power till the h-boot screen shows. Once it does use volume down/up to navigate to recovery. Hit power to select.
Step 2:
Go to install zip from sd-card > carrier_mms-fix.zip. Select yes and let it flash. Then select reboot system.
Step 3:
When rebooted plug your phone into your pc. Open cmd or terminal running the below commands.
Code: Select alladb shell
Enter
Code: Select allsu
Enter hitting ok on the prompt.
Code: Select allcat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/misc.img
Enter
Code: Select all/data/local/flash_image misc /sdcard/new-misc.img
Enter. Once done reboot and see if mms now works. If on sense it should if on aosp you need a modded mms.apk from this

did you try using root explorer mount as r/w then go to data then data again then scroll down to com.android telaphony and long press it hit rename and put a 1 at the end save reboot then it should work thats what i found some where and it worked for me on many roms..

Rogers (CANADA) Messaging Center Number

Let me guess...
You've discovered some hidden menus recently by typing codes in the dialer and find out this one: *#*#4636#*#* that open a "Testing" screen showing options like this:
Phone Information
Battery Information
Usage Statistics
Wi-Fi Information
Then you went to Phone Information
Tried some options (maybe played with SMSC:_________Update / Refresh ) but that was not doing anything so you exited the menu.....
after a while you wanted to send a text or someone was asking you "Did you got my text?" and you didn't....
Here's what hapened: Accidentaly you erased from your phone the "Messaging Center Number" wich is responsible for giving your phone the access to the SMS/MMS central of your provider.....resulting in loosing the ability to send/receive messages.
Don't worry, after having navigated XDA Forums I finally found my way to make it work again (yes that's because I did it that I now now it).
By the way, even if you Factory reset, flash a new rom/radio/kernel that mistake is gonna stay. You need to enter the number again.
in the *#*#4636#*#* hidden menu,
scroll down to "SMSC:"
in the box type: 0791715097960300
press the "Update" / "Mettre à Jour" (first button)
Now exit and Reboot the phone.
To test it, don't try to resend an old test message as it contain old message center number. I even suggest to delete previous text messages from your inbox if possible.
If it worked, everything should be fine by now. (you can even kudo me for this loll)
NOTE:
The real Roger Center number is +17057969300
the thing is that it need to be Encrypted in Hexadecimal PDU format.
(user MarcusVanSciver on XDA shown that link in thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412261)
That was for Orange Network (european have 8 number to phone number instead of 7 so I had to add a 0 at the end to make it work for Rogers)
after Encryption the number was now: 0791715097960300
This worked for ROGERS, the trick could maybe work for other networks but I can not validate the info. (but for sure this will not be the same number)
This had been tested with stock rom and Custom Rom With Custom Radio and Custom Kernel.
If this helped you, please give credit to this post ;-)

Easier way to do it without mucking around looking for your SMSC. It's how I got mine up and going again!

Damn this doesn't work for me

To program the SMSC (Text Messaging) number on Android devices, please follow these steps:
Go to the phone application.
From the phone application, press *#*#4636#*#*. (You will have to press the Call or Send button after entering this code in for some Android devices).
Tap on Phone Information
Scroll to the bottom to where it says SMSC and enter this number exactly as you see on this page (including all symbols): +17057969300
Press Update.

Handcent SMS - sending messages blocked

Hi all.
When I was sending a message throught handcent with a new sim card an information popped up, sth like:
"additional costs apply when sending that message”
By pure accident I made two mistakes:
1. I check the box “remember setting”
2. Instead of hitting “always allow” I pressed “always deny”
and now Im unable to send messages :/ cant find the option to fix this.
Cleaned the cache - didn't help
I changed the option manually in app info in section Permissions - "this app may charge you money" to always allow
but its still the same problem :/
Tried to change it to "Ask", its not asking when sending.
EDIT:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3571988&stc=1&d=1449781654
So I changed this option in handcent but it didnt do anything :/
And on top of that the stock Messaging App doesnt have this drop down menu :/

Fix: Clean cache in recovery.
