Every since I upgraded to WM 6.1 and did the hard reset to remove the bloatware from my HTC 8925, I have been unable to receive MMS messages. I haven't flashed my phone, everything is stock. I have read through every post and suggestion I could find on this subject in this forum and nothing has worked. I thought about calling AT&T, but I'm sure the 1st thing they'll have me do is a hard reset which will put all the bloatware back in. I really like not having to deal with all that useless crap. Can ANYBODY tell me what might have gotten deleted when I did the phone reset and what I need to reload to get my MMS capabilities back? It worked great before the upgrade. Thanks for any help I may get.

Hi there,
As you can probably see, im new on the Forum. Been using it for years and always found an answer to any of my problems without posting but im stuck with this one.
Im having trouble with my QTEK 2020i. For some reason it has stopped recieving SMS. Everything else works fine. I can send SMS out, MMS works fine and no problem phone calls. My service centre number is right, ive changed my SIM twice and still having the problem. Should I do a ROM or Radio upgrade to see if it will fix my problem or does it sound as if the phone it self needs repaired?
Cheers,
Gus
I would doubt it was hardware. I take it that you can make phone calls and can send SMS. So it must be down to the notifications.
I'd take a backup and then do a hard reset. If it then works you know that it is a software problem and can investigate if you want to or just re setup your device.
Ive done 2 hard resets and it still isnt working. would I be beter doing a ROM upgrade?

As the title says having trouble sending or receiving texts. I could imagine this could be a number of things so I dont know where to start. I am running dutties software and kaiser tweak... think I tweaked something to stop letting me text?
I installed the O2 SMS Plus program, and for some reason it prevented me from getting texts. Just a thought.
Also, check your radio
Everything seems to be functioning... hmmm. This might be a hard reset issue. Although hopefully not as its a pain to reinstall everything. I turned on sent message notice and I get it so its trying to send em!
I completely hard reset my device to Dutties... still cant send and recieve texts!!!!
Whats your provider? Alot of AT&T people have been having issues recently with the data/messaging plan do you have another phone you can plug your sim card into and test?
If I had to wager a guess, I'd say that you have some corrupted directories on your actual storage card, which is why the hard reset didn't help.

Make sure your SMS message center number is correct, for your provider. Each provider has their own settings. If it's AT&T, you can go to http://wireless.att.com/support.
On that page you can find help for your device and SMS in particular. If you have a different provider, you're on your own.
Wow lot of great ideas here. My first plan of action is to load the new version of Dutty's on to see if that has an effect. I have checked the message number. I hate calling tech support because I always talk to some guy who's been with the company about a week and doesnt even know what the **** a tilt is. Hes like... who makes it. I say HTC. He asks whats that stand for? I say I have no ****ing clue. He says he needs a manager. Im like WTF!
I had the same problem before. I suggest calling your provider and make sure you have messaging turned on. Sounds dumb but i had switch data plan and it took off unlimited text mesaging (new data plan didnt have unlimteid text messaging as a bundle) one day and right after i flashed q-mobile. Thinking it was the rom the whole time it turned out i didnt have texxt messaging turned on.
you know......maybe before reflashing your phone or hard resetting it, maybe you should first pop the sim into another phone and see if you can actually sms or not
to late for that but Ill try that now
Ahhh it is my sim card!!!!!!!! Damnit I lost it alll via hard reset. Should have been more patient, now I gotta call those losers and biatch them out!
Called them up my text message plan somehow fell off my plan. -sigh- Now I lost all my games and apps. Owell I can update to the latest Dutty's!
I've been searching for the last two days I can't seem to solve my problem. I did a rest on my phone because it keep freezing up on me us the stylus on the bottom of the phone. Now I cant send send text messages but I can receive them. I tried sending them to myself but they never come through I tried sending them to others and it says "Your text message cannot be sent." This is my only phone and I only have one sim. I would rather not cook any roms on my phone because it did work before the reset and I don't want to risk messing anything up.What should I do?
give att a call. they can push those settings for you over the air.
I call att they told me they could not pick up any settings because I was not with their carrier the phone is unlocked to t mobile.
Oh cmon throw him a freakn bone. You should have known to call tmobile and not att.

I dont know if this will help you but it did it for me, try intalling connection settings and you should have all your tmobile settings on your phone. on the second post of this thread there is a connection setup file. see if it helps.

I tried calling tmobile they went through everything that they could do but could not help me. Me and my buddy changed phones and it is definitely something with the phone and not the sim card. I cant figure out what is going on the is getting highly irritating. please can somebody help me.
I was sent a picture message which arrived fine but since then it keeps coming back as a new message despite me not deleting the original. I have spoken with Vodafone who tell me it's a problem with the phone. Surely this is a software issue not hardware? Vodafone want me to return the phone for them to look at, I have no spare and dont really want to send it back if I dont have to. It is still as it came out of the box, no extra software installed and no ROM changes. Came shipped with Windows 6.1, apart from this issue, everything else is working fine. Has anyone else had this?
I've had the same problem. I haven't figured it out myself, either.
I will note, though, that I haven't had the problem since I flashed it with a new ROM, and I've gotten MMS messages since then.
i had it set and it was sending and recieving like it should but for some reason now i can only recieve them.BTW are there any cool apps that i can put on my tilt really would like a gps app anyone with any help for me would be really appreciated i would like to do a master reset also but it would lock it up according to a HTC tech support rep, thanks Dtech

you should just look at http://support.t-mobile.com/doc/tm21387.xml?docid=212&navtypeid=1&pagetypeid=7&prevPageIndex=2&lid=y
When I first got my Tilt, I had the mms settings set to use epc.tmobile.com. I got mms messages intermittently and sometimes incomplete. I couldn't send them at all. I then reset it to wap.voicestream.com (same as the web settings) and I haven't had any issues since.
FWIW, I had trouble with epc.tmobile.com on the Samsung Gravity T that I had before I got the Tilt.
As for a GPS app, just download the Google Maps app. It works just fine with the Tilt, though sometimes you have to play with the GPS port settings if it doesn't find the satellites right away.
As long as the phone is unlocked, a hard reset won't lock it back to AT&T (assuming you got a branded Tilt like me). I've done 3 hard resets and the only thing you have to do is pull the battery before the AT&T software reloads itself. The software won't lock the phone but it's pointless to have a bunch of apps taking up memory that you can't use. Supposedly you can alter a file in Windows that won't let them attempt to load in the first place but I've been unable to change it.
