Tmobile and small MMS? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

I seem to be having difficulty sending MMS messages as well as when I receive them they are smaller than they were sent. I remember on the Wizard forums there was a fix for this. Any for my ATT tilt on Tmobile? Running the ATT 6.1 ROM. and yes I changed it back to .50

Yes there is a fix...
Look for a CAB called "WspHeader" or something along those lines. You can find more info about it here on a thread I started about this issue a while ago.

It seemed to have fixed the incoming Picture messages but not the outgoing problem... it always stops at 99%

Triple checked the settings... Missed one letter. All is fixed!

Could be carrier issue. Stock ROM? If non-stock, try another ROM or flash to the stock and see if persists. If so, call carrier.
I also get this - I get the message to say that MMS download is beginning and then it goes away for a couple of hours until the message finally appears. This is a T-mobile UK vario III on the stock ROM and in a good 3G/HSDPA area.
Not seen many other people with the problem though.

I'm on T-Mobile in the UK and get the same problem, I have noticed it seems to be even worse if activesync is working.
It can take up to a couple of hours to receive or send an MMS. I'm running the phone unmodified straight out of the box.
I am also on Tmobile UK network but have not noticed any significant delay sending or receiving MMS or SMS. I think the problems are more likely to be network or server related.
Just tested sending a VGA sized photo from my Kaiser to my wifes SE K610 by MMS and replying and in both cases the message was sent and received in under 2 minutes.
I have had SMS go missing for hours at a time in the past. The record for me is an SMS sent at the stroke of midnight on New Years Eve which did not arrive until 4pm New Years Day. I put this down to network/server congestion. On the rare occasions I am unable to send an SMS or MMS straight away I have found cycling the Radio off and on sorts the problem out.
It can be dificult to pinpoint reasons for delays but the message may be delayed at any point between Senders Phone, Cell Tower, Carrier Network, Message server, Gateway, Receivers Message Server, Carrier Network, Cell Tower and Phone.

MMS Problem

Ok, I just got my Tilt a few weeks ago, and there is this one last problem I still can't figure out. I have searched the forum extensively but I still can't find an answer. My MMS/texting, what ever you want to call it won't work. I cant send text messages and I can't receive them. I don't think it has anything to do with the Tilt exclusively because I cant send/receive them on my old RAZR V3. Is there any thing that could have happened with my sim card that got messed up? I have Dutty's newest rom and the radio is 1.62.08.21.
did u install the att settings cab, its in my signature.
**i am assuming you are with att since it is a Tilt, but then again you never STATED who the provider is**
I'd say if it is not working on your other phone, call up ATT Cust care and have them take a peak. Maybe sms is blocked on your acc for some reason.
I had those same settings before, so I guess all I can do now is call.

Unlocked Tilt cannot send SMS

Greetings,
I purchased an unlocked 8925/Tilt over the weekend and had great success using it immediately on the TMobile network. This morning I noticed my SMS messages would not send. I could receive messages, but got the dreaded "Your text message cannot be sent." dialog.
I've checked the SMS Service Center number (via Settings / Phone / Services / Get Settings) and from what I can find via google it appears to be right.
I last used the SMS yesterday about 7 PM and it was fine. This morning at 7 am it gave me this message and has continued for the last 4 hours.
Anyone have any thoughts??
Thanks!
UPDATE: As it turns out the phone WILL send the SMS messages, but only when I have connected to a voice call.
Did you try a soft reset?
SMS not sending
Thanks for the reply.
I should have stated... I have performed a soft reset as well as a hard reset. I have verified the SMS Service Center number is correct as well.
Anyone else ever run into this?
Here's a stupid question, sorry if it offends: Have you tried multiple recipient numbers, i.e. perhaps the one that is failing is due to the number you're sending to, not your device?
cannot send SMS
Not a stupid question. I've tried numbers on different carriers with no luck.
I've called TMobile, and they want to me to try my Sim in another phone which I will have to try later this evening.
Just thought it was strange that it worked fine, I went to bed, and it quit working. Perhaps the Sim card went bad. I've had it a long time.
Tilt cannot send SMS away from home area
After days of testing, hard resetting and scanning this board I appear to have come up with the solution.
I installed "Advanced Config", adding a button to the Comm Manager for 3G and disabling 3G. Not an issue for me as 3G isn't available on TMobile in my area.
If I continue to have trouble I will try replacing the phonesettings.dll and changing the phone band as mentioned in this thread.
Thanks to help from this thread:

HELPPPP
I've been having a similar issue for the past 4 days. I'm using dutty's 6.1 rom. I used to be able to send/receive sms and mms messages. One day, mms messages wouldn't work anymore so I did the auto connection setup in the settings panel and it corrected the mms problem. However, sms messages can't be sent out anymore. I always get the message "Your text cannot be sent." I can receive sms messages but cannot send them out. I've tried searching the forums and it seems like others are in the same boat. There is a thread stating that I should turn off 3g in my comm manager, but it is already disabled. I've tried sending the text message with 3g on and off. It doesn't work no matter what. I've also trying to setting the band of the phone for gsm 1800 like another thread had instructed, but that doesn't work either. It isn't a sim card problem because I can put it into another phone and send and receive them just fine.
Some one help me, please!
anyone have ideas?
figured it out. changed the setting back to gsm mode. i must've changed it to gprs somehow.

Picture Message Problems

Just recently bought a At&t Tilt off of Ebay and it originally came with the stock 6.0 rom. Well I upgraded to 6.1, and still had a few issues with text messaging. Then I Hard-SPL it, and loaded the HTC 6.1 rom and I like it much better. Well my phone works awesome, but the dang thing still has problem receiving picture messages. I use tmobile as my carrier, but I roam on att towers sometimes. Well before with my nokia phone, I never had a problem with any kind of messages. Now since I got this tilt, messages just don't seem to get to me. I can have a friend right next to me send me a picture message with text, and my phone never even bothers to say that I have a message. But if he sends a text message, the phone will get it. So what is going on here? I mean I can deal with it, but sorta sucks that I only get half of my text messages. Any one else got this problem?
Okay, I found this while searching the forums:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Arcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\mm1\WspHeader
"Accept"="application/vnd.wap.mms-message;*/*"
"Profile"="http://www.htcmms.com.tw/gen/wizard-2.0.xml"
"x-wap-profile"="http://www.htcmms.com.tw/gen/wizard-2.0.xml"
"User-Agent"="Xda Mini S/arcsoft-mmsua-3.0.0.xx"
Apprantelly this tells the carrier what kind of phone I have. Well what should I change my settings to, so tmobile will send me my mms? Already tried the cab that was built, but it didn't really change much. Ideas?

[Q] iPhone to G4 MMS Issues

Wondering if anyone else has run into this issue. My girlfriend recently left Verizon (on iPhone 5) and took her number to T-Mobile. She decided to buy the LG G4 (I have the G3 on Verizon and she really liked it) but is having issues with receiving picture or group messages from other iPhones. I can message her fine, and I don't have any issues receiving these messages on my G3 (on Verizon). If we are on the same thread, sometimes she won't get the message until I or another android user responds to it.
When she left Verizon they told her that iPhone users would have to turn iMessage off & on in order for it to work, but that has led to mixed results. She will get a few group messages or picture messages from certain recipients but inevitably will end up missing another one (her texting app will show "New MMS Message" and a download button, but pressing that doesn't do anything). She's contacted T-Mobile but all they ever say is to reboot her phone, or clear the Messaging app data. Generally this fixes it temporarily, but unable to fix completely.
Since I'm unfamiliar with T-Mobile and the G4, I was wondering if anyone can share their experiences with this? Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks!

If she's getting the MMS notification, then it's not related to iMessage. How long has it been since she switched? I believe some messages might get routed to the wrong carrier for a while.
I have been with T-Mobile for a long time and have not had MMS issues with any of the phones I have used. I have a G4 at the moment and MMS work fine with everyone (including iOS users). Group messaging can be tricky when dealing with iPhones though, I have missed some messages before, I get no notification, they're just lost. If the message is not being downloaded, I would make sure the APN settings are correct on her G4.
She can also try a different SMS app. I use Textra and it lets you manually configure an APN if the system one is having issues.

Thanks. I actually just recommended she try Textra and it seems to be holding up for now. As far as APN settings go, where is the most reliable place to find the correct ones? I see them posted all over the internet but am not sure what is new/legitimate. Would T-Mobile be able to provide them?

Yes, T-Mobile should be able to provide them, but her phone should already have the right ones, especially if it's a T-Mobile branded device.
Mine is (on my T-Mobile branded G4)
T-Mobile LTE
APN fast.t-mobile.com

There are a lot of threads about this, the TMo G4 has issues downloading MMS for some reason. In group chats that are MMS it's even worse. I finally gave up on the G4 because it loses too many messages and can't download half the ones that it does get.

I have these exact APN settings and have a ton of MMS issues, not to mention all the lost texts I never get...
Anyone try changing APN to epc.tmobile.com? Just changed this myself, going to test it out
Figured it out
I mentioned in another thread... I used Textra and it has a special setting that fixes this issue.

What setting did you use?
It's under MMS settings:

Ah yes! The Wi-Fi calling fix? That can solve some issues when using Textra if you use WiFi calling, but the stock app should take care of that.
I haven't had any issues with group MMS, so I wonder if those that are having them are on WiFi and with WiFi calling enabled when they have these issues.
I don't know if it helps with WiFi calling or not! But it fixed my MMS sending and receiving problem!
