I've asked this a couple other places, with no success yet...
What does it take to do MMS on one of these things? I've had Arcsoft MMS Composer suggested many times, but FINDING the thing has been impossible. Arcsoft goes on about it at length on their website, mostly about how various mobile providers are bundling it... but mine (Telus) isn't. They don't have a trial download, they don't list it in their store, they don't list anyone who sells it, and they don't even list a price (MSRP or otherwise).
So, does anyone know where I can find this thing? I don't mind paying (a reasonable amount) for a legitimate copy, IF I could find it!
Or suggest something else that might work...?
Thanks.
I know nothing about MMS. But I may have two leads.
I was just looking in a thread about YouTube on the S730, and followed the instructions to install support for it. I think ended up with support for MMS. TCPMP may come with it. If not, the flash plugin may add support. Both are available at www.ytpocket.com. A link on the home page provides tools and instructions for installing both. Free.
As I was composing this note, I checked the file association settings for CoreCodeC. They include MMS. Not free.
Hmm, not sure if we're talking about the same thing. I'm talking about Multimedia Messaging Service - aka Picture Messaging, as opposed to just Text Messaging (SMS). In other words, the ability to "text" someone's phone with an attached picture.
This doesn't appear to have anything to do with that, but I tried it anyway, just for giggles... didn't make any difference to my problem.
Thanks anyway though, it'll be neat having YouTube on my phone
I'm not sure what you are getting at? MMS support is built into the phone? You just go to Message > New > MMS ??
That's the way it should work. With the old standard phones (my RAZR, my V710, my wife's LG, my Treo 650) you can just snap a pic with the camera, go "Send picture", and enter a contact, and it sends straight to their phone, same as you would a text message.
Windows Mobile 5 included this function. 6 apparently doesn't. There's a third-party app that some providers have chosen to include to provide the functionality, but Telus isn't one of them.
WM6 does after all I'm using WM6 and it's in my phone. It looks like that for whatever strange reason your firmware has removed that option.
From what I've been able to determine, MMS support *is not* native to WM6, at least not Standard version. WM6S phones that have it, are generally using Arcsoft MMS Composer, as bundled into the OS by the specific wireless carrier.
This, at least, is the best information I've been able to come up with between this forum and a few others.

I just started the photo app, chose album, selected a picture, chose "Send via MMS" from the menu, and saw a dialog that sure seemed to let me compose a message. I didn't check whether it really did. All this on an HTC S730 (WM 6).
Hmm, alright, mine doesn't quite do that... it has a Send option that lets me select a mail account to use, and Text Message is grayed out.
Apparently though, that's something that's common to almost all HTC phones except those that Telus provides
i unlocked my tilt and i use it with tmobile service

help
You can probably expect the amount of help in responses to be in direct proportion to the amount of diagnostic information you provide.
What connection type do you have?
What data plan are you using?
What have you tested?
What connection settings are you using?
Help others to help you.
Ok. For the Instant Messages just download Palringo, its free and does every client. Picture messages, you are going to have to get your Tmobile settings for MMS as well as browser settings. Go to google.com and type in T Mobile Connection settings I'm sure you'll find something, Same thing for mms, Type in Tmobile MMS settings.

You have not answered Liquidsilver's message - Without that information it is difficult to help.

Thread Closed!
Geez,
Do you know what Rom you're running? As you have a Tilt if you are running an at&t Rom or some of the cooked Tilt Roms (like XDA Live) then there is the whole Hidden Cingular Proxy issue (google it).
Anyway, this really doesn't warrant another thread discussing getting tilt/kaiser to work on t-mobile. Please ask your questions in one of the existing threads discussing t-mobile issues.
I did a quick search on this but couldn't find it. Anyway is it possible to add mms to your phone? I currently have to goto the providers website and view to photos and most time that site doesn't work. So i was just wondering if there is a way of adding this. I don't know much about this stuff so no need to point and laugh if it isn't possible.
well, yes. depends on your carrier.
it is telus
I realy don't understand your question.
The diamond has MMS support.
Are you asking for the settings for your provider?
TDO
ok so then whenever someone sends me a text with a picture or a video i have to log onto the website to view those pictures or videos. My question is just like most flip phones that get them sent directly to their phone is it possible to do that aswell with a smart phone. I only had this phone and a blackberry and they are both the same in that i have to log into the telus website to view any texts sent to me with media attached to them. also i have to email people my photos instead of just texting them which i also hate.
it will get directly to your phone if the mms settings are correct setup with the
settings from your provider
I had the same problem (using T-Mobile UK), all I got was a text message with a URL to T-Mobile's site.
To fix it, just send an MMS to yourself! For some reason, you need to send an MMS before you can receive one (at least that was the case with T-Mobile).
Try it and see if this fixes your problem.
yea for me it was the same,
i called tmobile why its so scarry, they told me that they need to know if your device supports MMS and the best way is to see an mms coming from your device so they can be sure that u are working on an mms enabled device.

I've figured out how to send MMS messages with Android on the Verizon network. Here's how:
Go to Settings -> Wireless Controls -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names -> Android
Modify the following settings:
MMSC: http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms?X-VZW-MDN=<your ten-digit phone number>
MMS proxy: leave empty
MMS port: 80
Please let me know if this works for you. Keep in mind that you must have a data connection open in order to send MMS.
As far as receiving messages, when a picture message comes in it properly receives the SMS, but it isn't recognized as an MMS message. It does however recognize that it's not a standard SMS so it doesn't go to your message inbox.
SENDING WORKS (for Verizon)

Telus
I've found some similar settings for Telus, but can't seem to make it work. If anyone wants to give it a shot, I've used the information here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=392284
So far, the message just sits there trying to send. The settings I'm currently using are:
MMSC: http://mmsfeplb01.int.eng.telusmobility.com/mms
MMS proxy: http://216.198.139.113
MMS port: 8088
pchaso, how long does it take you to send an MMS? I'm just curious how long I should wait before I deem a message failed, because it never seems to error out, just sits there.
Will try this soon pchaso

It takes seconds.
K, so I'm guessing I need something similar to the "?X-VZW-MDN=<your ten-digit phone number>" portion of the verizon settings. Where'd you find this info? It sucks to be so close and yet so far...

When you configure Arcsoft MMS for Verizon, you have to add a registry entry so that Arcsoft knows to send this field. This entry will cause arcsoft to post this value as part of the HTTP request to the mms servlet. I just took a stab in the dark by putting the value in the querystring. I actually didn't expect it to work...

Nice work! I'll have to try and get Telus MMS working in WinMo this weekend some time... I really don't feel like booting up WM right now though. I will be sure to post any success I have here.

Try it with X-MDN instead of X-VZW-MDN.

No dice.
Cool just sent a pic to my email and it worked
Kinda just thinking outloud but do you think that we would need a Verizon APN with Verizon specific settings to begin to recieve mms? or does it have to do with dzo's hacked sms settings?...
I think it has something to do with the CDMA SMS format being different to that of GSM. I wish I had time to do some hacking on this myself...
Now that the droid is out, is there any update on receive settings?
Anything new on android verizon mms? Tried the instructions in the first post but it didn't work for me.
Bump... add me to the list of people who want to receive!
Thanks all who help dev this stuff, Android has consumed countless hrs of my time : )
bumpity bump bump
I would really like some development in this area. It seems some settings/apn's could be pulled from the vzw droid. Bluetooth is now working, along with accurate gps. This is the only thing left to be fixed for donut to be completely functional for our vogues.
Nothing new? Sending still works...let's receive! LOL
Need help from you guys then (I don't have Verizon).
1. Make sure MMS sending really does work (send it to someone and ask them if they got it).
2. Get ADB (the command prompt tool) working on Windows (search the forum, there's clear instructions -- its easy)
3. Plug your phone into your computer so you can connect with ADB.
4. Open a command prompt and navigate to where ADB is.
5. Type 'adb shell logcat -b radio > radiolog.txt' (no ')
6. Send a SMS to yourself. Then send an MMS to yourself.
7. Wait a little bit to make sure the MMS notification message is "received". 2-3 minutes should be good.
8. Terminate the adb logging and send me the log at jnadke [email protected]_ gmail dot com (spam proofed)
A MMS is just an SMS (text message) with instructions to go download data. When you send MMS, the Mms.apk application uses POST command. Receive just uses the GET command. However, this isn't being triggered because I don't think we're correctly interpreting the SMS message that tells us there's an MMS waiting.
I'm making an assumption that we're receiving the MMS notification, and that its reception generates an AT command. It may not, I haven't looked at the SMS RIL code. It's possible I might need to give you a RIL that logs the raw SMS data, so I can compare a SMS message and a SMS-MMS notification message (to see if there's a flag somewhere).
The code is already there in Mms.apk to receive, we're just not telling it to...
I can recieve MMS and sometimes I can send them, but most times I get the message that the MMS cannot send. The ones I cannot send are the same size as the one I could, around 40k. I have no clue why this is happening.
Anyone have a solution for this? I actually use MMS rather often.
also for some reason my notifications say that I'm sending 2 mms when I only send one. Anyone have a solution? I'm on at&t but I don't think that matters.
Delete everything in your outbox, create a new empty MMS and write a letter or two, no images or anything and send it to yourself. If that works, then something might wrong with the stuff you're trying to include in the MMS that fails.
