Problems with MMS messages - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Ok all the MMS settings are correct, I put them in myself and know them (work for AT&T) When I get a picture I don't see the picture it just shows like a little GIF image of a camera but no picture. I haven't tested to see if I could send but I'm sure I can. I don't know why it's happening. Could anyone help. No one at my job seems to know either.

Are you having this problem from one particular person, or with everyone who sends you an MMS?
Are they all coming from the same device type? It could be the settings from the person you're receiving from.

Everyone. i even sent myself an mms message and it couldnt open the picture just shows a GIF image of a little camera. It used to work before and i don't know what happen. The pictures are like 13k in size so it isn't a size factor. When I receive an MMS i get that little GIF instead of the picture and at the bottom theres a player that plays nothing.

double tap on the camera gif

bro i've tried to double tap and tap and hold i knew it wouldnt work but I said what the hell I had nothing to lose. I have girls sending me really exclusive pictures and I cant see them!! ahhh!! mind f***!
I'm trying to figure this out, i'm going to post a screen shot of what I see as soon as i find my sync cable.

i dunno about AT&T but i work at T-mobile and you cant recive a MMS until you have sent 1 first. we always get people to send an MMS to their own number and see if it comes through.
hope that helps

Odd things have happened to my messaging system twice. The first time my phone wouldn't even allow me to send an sms at all. I would click the text icon onscreen or try to set up one of the soft keys as a short cut to get to it all to no avail. Fix: Hard reset. The second time my MMS system was messed up. When a MMS message was sent to me rather than get the message my phone would get a notification that there was a message to be downloaded. I would try to download it and the message never came. The techs at Att kept telling me that the message download prompt was normal (which it wasnt, also showed me how much they knew of their own products). I tried for days to figure out what was going on and the only fix was to hard reset the device again and install all my apps on one by one and ensure that my MMS system was working. Once i got everything set back up and ensured that everything was working properly I ray Sprite Backup and made a backup of the working rom. This may not be the same case for you but if you google it you'll find that when this happened to others a hard reset was the only fix. Good luck.

I fixed the problem by doing a master reset, what I was trying to avoid. It was a pain my rear end because I had so much custom things done in the registry and having to do all that again was so annoying. I am able to s/r mms messages again. Weird.

Just an update, shortly after master reset it happened again. I uninstalled programs one by one and found that one of poorlyducks vista skins was causing the issue. It was the audio manager skin or the vista dialer can't remember which one. After I uninstalled them I was able to see picture messages again. I even installed it again to confirm and it was the culprit. Heads up guys

MMS Configuration, or other MMS issues

Short question, maybe someone knows. If I want to add a new Server in MMS Configuration the [New] button is not responding.
How can I re-activate this button.
anyone, help would be appreciated.
Well... this button should be active at all times... So your best bet would be to reflash your device... Sorry man...

Yes I guessed that one, therefore I was hoping to get some "other" advises before I hard-reset and notice the same.
I would search for a cab named "Set_up_MMS_folder" in before going back that far. You already have a folder, but reinstall could help fix whatever you are missing.
Good luck.
I hope that works for you... Please give us a shout if it does, but as far as I know the MMS configuration isn't dependent on whether or not you have an MMS foldor or not. Or for that matter an MMS capable phone... It sounds to me that something messed up flashing the ROM... Witch leads to the next question, did the MMS function work at some time after flashing? Did you install any third party software after that?

No it didn't work, I was re-installing my phone. I installed my normal things, as always, like spb today etc. This time I flashed the std T-mob ROM because I was a little tired of all the small problems I had with the home-cooked and now this...........
The mms folder and everything I have, it's only the stupid button which doesn't work.....
........It's there, but even he color shows it's not active.
Im seriously starting to believe the so called gurus in here arent exactly up to snuff ....so to speak. your problem is simple... you have to browse to regedit..somehow(!! can you figure that out?)
oh, just got it:Total commander, tap the two dots in far right (..)
tap the root (\\)
tap registry/hklm/software/arcsoft/...MMSUA/CONFIG/UI/
DRUMROLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL... now YOU figure out which setting to enable!
nah, it should be EnableServerEdit ...i think, change the value to '1'
voila
THIS DOES NOT MEAN MY MMS IS WORKING...... I HAVE A PERSISTENT PROBLEM BEING UNABLE TO SEND MMS & everyone is CLUELESS!!
aaaaarghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I WANT TO DIE!!!!!!!!! lol
ifull, thanks for the advise, this did the trick. Thanks again, I'm not into registry editing.
I think my problem, as you said, was so simple that the experts thought I would figure this out by myself, LOL.
Thanks again, if I can help you in someway, please PM.
What are the right mms settings
What are the right mms settings, I did the change in the registry as listed above to allow new settings and to see what the current settings are... but can someone look to see what are the correct settings witht the oem rom for the server address..
settings
here are the settings that should be there according to tmo website - http://support.t-mobile.com/knowbase/root/public/tm21387.htm
on mine those are right but what I think the problem is this, when mms is sending it keeps getting interupted by gprs trying to connect. is there a reg hack to let mms send without being disconnected????
I believe in regedit there are some errorlog.txt files that show you the WHOLE transcription of your attempted outbound messages. If I find mine, I will post it as it shows where the delivery went wrong.
so are you trying to say your 'mms fix' of a day or so ago is not quite "fixed" or what?
re:
this whole mms thing is starting to make me feel like its a tmo network issue and not the device, just never know...but I did flash my rom to X's 2.26 w/ 2.47 radio
mms fix i think
once u hak the reg and change the setting as listed earlier to allow settings edit... click on tmobile mms settings and it should show the settings that were downloaded from tmo...but u want to change the option that says connect via mms --) to connect via data..
I just did that and it sent right away...
it works, click on the tmobile mms server and then change the connection to via data instead of mms... I just sent a message to my self and it sent it out my outbox in less than 30sec for a 75k file

I think the settings are operator dependend
hey vilem, youre welcome on the regedit server setting.. i was laughing at the time I read your reply, as I knew all too well the relief you felt!
robpet, these fixes just get nearer and nearer the ultimate FIX. Still cant send., it only makes a better attempt at sending now(I can see it connecting), but theres a setting SOMEwhere still preventing transmission.
the error logs are in
mydocuments/uacontents/mmslog
perhaps we can compare logs, mine now say
WRONG!!!! no mms date
WRONG!!!! no from address
and I think thats my problem, but dont know where to set it.

Yes thanks again, I had to do some regedit fixes, like I deleted the whole tree below what you mentioned. Now I'm able even to set as default.
I renamed the thread, because I know a lot of people have problems with MMS.

Few Kaiser Problems

I have spent 1 day with the Kaiser, i sell them but never use what i sell, they go to fast. So yeah, 1 day so far. I like the phone, a bit heavy but its expected.
1- I installed the WM6 threaded text (i have to have that) so now sometimes when i get texts, it vibrates and makes the sound i chose. even though vibrate is off in the notifications.
2- The phone vibrates on a soft reset, no that big of deal but i havent seen anyone correct it.
3- The weather doesnt pull up my city, but i did find a fix for that.
4- I cant COPY and PASTE in my emails. I tried copying from one email, creating a new and then pasting, PASTE wasnt even an option.
5- The scrolling (touch flow) is very difficult with a screen protector on, is there any way to increase the sensitivity of it?
6- the home screen. I like their concept with the digital clock. is there any way to make that any smaller, so when in landscape, i still have the full view of everything on my screen.
(they should have made a TODAY quick launch button on there, i know i can set the button to be one, but they just should have.)
can anyone else who installed the threaded text messaging found here
http://discussion.wmexperts.com/showthread.php?t=139379
sorry for the link but its the only way to be sure people know what i am talking about.
Please help. especially for #1 you know how annoying that is?
Oh and it also vibrates on the SILENT setting too.
AHHHH
also, id like to replace the word DELETE with NEW on the email screen.
once in your inbox it has delete on the left and then menu on the right, where you can select NEW.
on all other WM devices, NEW was on the left.
any ideas?
1. Which threaded SMS program did you install? If its the Palm threaded one, then there's a separate notification type for those. So, changing the normal SMS notification type doesn't do anything. You have to change the one that's called "Messaging: New Message: Palm threaded" or something like that...If you installed some other program, it might be similar, but I couldn't say.
2. No fix for that so far. It's such a short vibrate, I guess I don't see the big deal.
3. I guess you must live in a pretty small town. THere's quite a few cities in the list. But even then, it's changeable using a hack.
4. I can't seem to do that either.
5. Don't know if you can change the sensitivity, again, there might be some hack of some sort. But, I am using a screen protector and dont have any issues with it. What kind of screen protector are you using? I didn't use th eone that came with it. It looked cheap. I'm using the PPC Techs one, that are great.
6. No way to change the clock size in the HTC Home plugin. You would need to use some other home plugin/clock program to customize it.

thats where i got it from. but see where it says "once the divice is finished rebooting open resco agian and navigate to program files / palm messaging. You should see this"
i didnt see that and didnt do those steps. it was already in the correct folder.
I don't know about that. I just go to Settings, Sounds & Notifications, Notifications Tab, Event : Messaging: New Message (Palm), then set the type of notification you want for that event.

I can copy - but it seem it is the paste into an email that is broken.
I was able to paste into a note, but something I had copied from the note would not paste into an email. This seems to be a bug - Anyone knows if other WM6 devices can paste ok?
You can copy and paste into emails - it's a weird bug, but the paste option becomes available only after you've typed at least one character into the body of the new email.

From all the searching i have done on various boards with this threaded SMS app it appears this is a well known bug. If you reset the audio profile it does not buzz until you slide the keyboard out at least once during a session, then it vibrates from then on. If anyone comes across a bug fix or a "most recent" version that does not suffer this for Kaiser TYTN II than I would be pleased to know.

I just had mine beep like i waned to, on emails. So i know that works fine. But as far as the vibrating on sms, i cant get that to stop. I open and close the slider and still does it.

Strange message quirk

All the roms i tried had this quirk, and i'm wondering if theres a fix. when i open a message either an email or text message, the screen focus is way below the beginning of the message. Maybe 5 lines too low. So then i have to scroll up to see the beginning of the message. I'm at the regular text size and this is the standard t-mobile ship rom i'm running, but having tried 3 other roms in the last 48 hours its something i noticed carries across. I dont recall if my wizard did this also, but its pretty annoying. Any ideas troops?

I'm not sure what you're talking about. Mind posting a screenshot of what you mean?
Yeah that made no sense to me either.
Strange
ok so in the two attachments you can see how the message opens, file is called coincidently "opens" and the other shows how i have to scroll to the top to view the beginning of the message(message top). Disregard content =)
*edit*
Maybe it has something to do with being hooked up to my SBS Exchange box?
pothead haha
420girls.com baby, nothing better than a hot chick that blazes. Period.
So any ideas on why my phones acting shady?
narrowed this down to something within "Schap Advanced Configuration v1.0" everytime i install this program my messaging goes haywire. Anyone have a clue why? Kaiser Tweak doesnt mess up my messaging and has many more options, im going to use that from now on. I love this phone!
Everytime I've tried it, Schap's tool has never worked properly on my Wing... and always caused problems... bc of the difference in the device it was coded for and the Wing...
Kaiser tweak is great, everything works except the 3G options obviously
Might be a thread here...
culprit found!
Hi,
I had precisely the same problem with opening messages roughly one page down from the top. After few hours of surfing I identified the culprit - Schap's Advanced config. When I turn on the item "Navigate with direction pad" on the tab "Internet Explorer", the message opens correctly. When I turn it off and restart, it opens wrongly. I tested it on my HTC Artemis, but it is probably the same on other devices.

SMS Not Working

Has anyone managed to stop SMS from working? Something I've tweaked or installed is preventing me from sending messages - when I tap the SMS option nothing at all happens. I don't seem to be able to receive them either. With all the fiddling (Kaiser Tweak, GPRS Monitor, SBP etc) who knows what I've done. Just hoping someone else may have stumbled over the same problem before I have to reset everything back to original (It's the only fault).
Thanks
Are you able to compose an SMS at all?
Have you verified that your Text Message Service Center number is not blank?
Please provide more information. Phone, ROM, Carrier, etc...
Thanks for the interest,
I'm using WM6 standard ROM 1.82.707.0.WWE (ie not cooked) on the Tytn2, the service centre number is there and is correct according to the carrier (Telstra Australia).
It used to work fine so I'm assuming that I've tweaked something I should have left alone, or one of these installs has jammed it up - just no idea what!
If I pull up a contact and tap the 'Send Text Message' option nothing at all happens, just sits there looking at me! I don't seem to be able to receive texts either.
Installed are the standard apps plus Google Maps, GPRS Monitor, Kaiser Tweak, Resco File Explorer, TomTom, SPB mobile Shell and Diary, QuickMenu.
I know it's a tricky one to fix from a distance (so many settings, so little patience) but any thoughts would be appreciated.
I had the same problem a few months ago and tried everything. Defaulted my tweaks and adv config etc. Eventually I had to reinstall my rom which is a cooked rom and all came back and have not had any problems since then. Hpefully you do not have to do this. You should try a cooked rom.
Ok I want to take a shot at this.....
Ok Does Telstra have the ability to send SMS to mobiles from their website? If so try sending one to yourself.
Next. Go into Messaging, Menu -> New -> SMS. Type in your mobile and Send.
Oh and Uninstall The SPB product Soft Reset and try again.
Let me know If that works.
Can't find a way to send sms from telstra (easily) so tried from another mobile. The other mobile says it can't send the message. I'm (almost) sure this is my phone rejecting it rather than a network of other phone's fault.
When I tap on Messaging in the menu nothing happens - doesn't take me anywhere at all. Same thing if I tap on 'send text message' option in contacts.
Removed the spb stuff, did a soft reset, still no go.
Keep the thoughts coming though. In the end it would probably be easier and quicker just to hard reset now, but it's the challenge of figuring it out that's interesting isn't it? It's going to be one of those dead simple slap your forehead things I reckon.
Thanks for all the help so far.
Have you tried reinstalling the Arcsoft SMS/MMS client? There are many different versions floating around XDA.
OK it's fixed. Here's what I did:
Discovered that the 'Messaging' menu item in the start menu pointed to a file called tmail.exe
Used file explorer to navigate to tmail and ran it directly
Fell over laughing when it actually ran
From that time on it works via any link, such as the start menu and contacts option to SMS
I have no idea what that's all about but I'm really happy to have it back - although I haven't tested sending and receiving texts yet
Interestingly a very similar thing happened to Mortscript - I have a script that rotates the screen and runs TomTom (not mine, found on xda-dev) and it wouldn't work either after all this fiddling until I ran it directly rather than through any links. Now it works fine too.
If anyone knows /why/ it happened I'd be interested.
Thanks for all the support. Really great knowing there's such a community around.
Alrighty then, spoke too soon. Now it works when the sd card is out, but not when it's in. Same old problem, tap on messaging and nothing. With the card out of the slot, messaging appears. What the heck is this?! Could it be something to do with where messages are stored? I'm also getting this storagecard2 problem each time I take the card in and out which is easy enough to fix but could be contributing I suppose. Any more ideas?
Edit: I repaired the storagecard2 directory issue, cleaned up all the references to storagecard2 in the registry (about 4), unticked the option to use the card to store attachments, and it seems to work. I've also re-synched and re-installed spb mobileshell. Last time it seemed to fail at that last step but this time is still working. Even after a final soft reset. I haven't reinstalled spb diary.
Has me stumped but works again now. Sorry to bore you all with this but someone may have a simple answer and the ordeal might help someone else I hope.
Based on all of these issues, I would definitely suggest re-flashing your current ROM again (not just a hard reset), and do a full format of your SD card outside of the phone. It sounds like you've got some major corruption going on...

Yes delete the storage card directory, if it gets corrupt the unit won't send or receive SMS.
Speaking from experience here
Thanks guys,
I've re-done the storage card and all is still working ok. I'm reluctant to reflash while it's working so I'll wait to see how long it keeps up.
Thanks again.

Enlarging pics in email (zoom capable at all?)

Hey guys, I get a few different emails that have pictures with surrounding text. And since i've upgraded from WM 6.0 to 6.1 for some reason the pics are so small that i can't read the text that is on them. Is there anyway to enlarge the pics at all or zoom into them? I searched and saw someone refer to scrolling, that didn't work. And as far as changing the text size, well that changes the text size AROUND the pics, but not the pic itself.
anyone got any insight? i've started to notice that with lots of my emails when i download the pics they are all scaled down in size which is making them blurry and illegible
ok, i tried changing roms, changing from imap4 to pop and nothing is working. and its not just the dilbert daily email i receive, its all emails with pics in them. all images are blurry, and im' not sure whats up with it. does ANYONE have any idea how to fix blurry images. tried looking under gmail support for pop/imap4 and didn't find a thing.
Emails with embedded images will have them resized whatever you do, short of switching to using another mail application. If the images are attachments then clicking on them will bring up the image viewer and it will be fine.

the reason I've been concerned about it is I used to have the emails open up just fine when I first got my phone and set up email with the q-mobile 1.2 ROM. I dunno if the ROM somehow effected it, but I was always able to read the images in the emails. as soon as I went to 6.1 I lost it. tried 6.1 w/out the bloaatware, duttya 6.1, and not a treo fans manilla 2d now. but if email is always "supposed" to be like this I guessi have to settle then

I also faced this issue with the daily dilbert mails. no i do the below and it works fine.
First click on download internet pictures. Dont click on tab to scroll right now. Let it download the pictues, and then click the tab to scroll right link and you can see the comic is a bigger size. hope this helps

ok ill give that a shot tomorrow when I get their next email, hopefully it works
i dont know the hell is going on with my phone, but after a while it went back to display the images properly, now its back to showing them improperly. And i just figured out whats wrong with it. Its not that its not downloading the pictures appropriately, its that when i click the "tap to scroll" it doesn't "unwrap" the images all the way. for example, at the top of the email there is actually a long picture selction bar that says "home-->most popular-->strips-->animation->mashups->blog" in my desktop email these are all in line with one another. but for some reason why i click tap to scroll, blog appears on a second line.
anyone know whhat could be stopping the images from fully "unwrapping"?
