Where can I change the settings for sending MMS? You must tell WM which access point to use etc. That was always possible in the dedicated Outlook SMS/mail program. How do I do that in TF3D? Right now, sending MMS doesn't work due to wrong network settings.
Found it myself.
You can access the 'old' POutook program through Start > Programs > Messages or something similar in the start menu (don't know, I have a dutch version). There you can access the MMS settings.

Hi all, I realise there are a lot of resources around here, but to be very honest, they all assume a level of knowledge I just don't have. I'm pretty computer-savvy, but all this phone/PPC stuff is new territory to me.
The story: I recently bought an unlocked T-Mobile MDA to use on the Fido network in Canada. I'm having a lot of trouble getting things to work beyond simple voice and texting. I've finally managed to get a GPRS connection working so I can surf the internet, but I can't get Messenger to work nor can I send MMS. I'm gathering that changing the MMS settings will require I flash the ROM to a generic version, is that correct? I've found the step-by-step instructions for doing this, but have no clue what file to actually use. My #1 priority is using Messenger, and I can't connect via wi-fi or GPRS. Not sure if that's a separate issue or not . . .
I am usually very self-sufficient WRT tech stuff but I am just getting more confused the more I read. Any pointers or hand-holding would be very much appreciated!!
I'll give you what little help I can. Since I don't have fido I can't tell you the settings that you need for sure but I'll see if I can't find them for you. First, you don't have to flash a new ROM to change youe MMS settings, you just have to put the correct setings in there for it to use it. The thing with messenger is that some phone companys have started to block the ports that messengers use so if that's the case with fido, you may never get it to work. I'll do some looking and see if I can't come up with your MMS settings for you though, I'm sure I've seen them around here.
Here you go:
1. Create a 'Cellular Line (GPRS)' connection under My ISP.
Call it whatever, I called it Fido MMS.
2. The APN is mms.fido.ca
3. user=fido, pswd=fido
4. Leave the Advanced tab alone (Auto IP assignments)
5. exit My ISP connections
6. In MMS Composer app, Tools/Options/Server, grab the default.
7. I renamed the server name as 'Fido MMS'.
8. I set the Gateway=205.151.11.13 (note - no leading zeroes or port 9201!)
9. Server address is http://mms.fido.ca

Hey, I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out.
Part of why I thought I would have to flash the ROM is because in the MMS servers part, I am not able to modify the existing server (T-Mobile) nor can I add a new one since the buttons are all greyed out. I figured T-Mobile had locked this setting in. Am I missing something?
You just have to create new connections. Just go to Start-->Settings--> connections tab--> Connections--> Advanced tab--> Select Networks button--> and finally the New button and use the above settings to create a new connection. After that you should be able to use those settings for your MMS. Also do the exact same thing as above to set up your GPRS settings. When you're done setting those up, to be able to connect to GPRS just choose the GPRS connection you just set up in the Select Networks page. There are 2 connections in there that you can choose which connection you want to use, just use the GPRS settings that you just set up for both of them.
I've managed to set up and connect to the various networks, but I still don't have the option to add or change the MMS server. The buttons remain disabled and only T-Mobile can be used. Still can't log into Messenger, either. The wi-fi is pretty much non-functional. I really regret buying this phone.
Thanks for trying to help me out though, I really do appreciate it.
Just to kind of get this straight, does your GPRS work now? Can you log on to the internet in internet explorer?
I'll have to do some looking, getting your mms to allow you to change to the server that you set up may only take a regestry edit.
As for your wifi, that may have to do with the security settings that you have set up. I believe you can only use wep and in WM5 you may only be able to use 64 bit wep keys but I'm not positive on that. I think you also have to have SSID enabled. I'm kind of new to this part since I just set up my first wireless network about 2 weeks ago.
Don't give up on it yet.
Ok, found the registry settings for MMS. Hopefully your comfortable enough to be able to change the settings yourself. Go to HKLM/Software/Arcsoft/Arcsoft MMS UA/Config/mm1/MMSCSettings/T-Mobile MMS
Now change these registry keys:
Gateway : 205.151.11.13
GatewayPort : 8080
ISP : FIDO MMS
MmscURI : http://mms.fido.ca
Name : FIDO MMS
Now close your registry editor and wait 30 seconds or so and press the power off button until it warns you that "device will be off..." click yes and then reboot your phone.
Your MMS settings should now be set to the correct settings although I'm not going to guarantee it since I couldn't test it myself. The only thing I'm thinking that may cause it not to work is the ConnectionVia registry setting which may cause it to revert back to it's original settings because it points to the t-mobile mms settings and I have no idea what you would need to change that setting to. I'm crossing my fingers though that it doesn't cause it to revert back.
If that doesn't work, deleting the entire T-Mobile settings key may unlock your grayed out keys that aren't allowing you to change your settings in the first place.
I have an AT&T Tilt. I hit soft reset after a hard reset so that the bloatware didn't install. I can send text messages no problem. I cannot send a picture message. I can sometimes receive them, but I cannot send them from my phone. I have been trying to send them to a Verizon phone and have not tried an AT&T phone. Has anyone had a similar issue where they weren't able to send a picture message and resolved it?
tytn/tytn II mms
Never worked with wm6 correctly (finland, tytn/tytnII)
-Using port 9201 & WAP version 1.2 -> MMS under 70k possible to send and receive, higher not (when sending , it just hangs in 99%).
-Using port 8080 & WAP version 2.0 -> MMS up to 600k send ok, never able to receive "errMsg: error" (your messages cannot be downloaded).
This is only my experience (Elisa Finland). other providers and countries propably work ok.
anyone?
You won't have your AT&T operator settings installed with the method you used to eliminate the 'bloatware' Search for the Network settings cab on this forum as it may help you.
I found out the problem. AT&T can send and receive up to 600k. Verizon can only receive and send up to 350K. I had to change the outbound pictures to QVGA size and had to adjust the video to a smaller file. I guess different have different size limitations. In case anyone else experiences this problem, you need to adjust your settings.
Removing the bloatware does not remove any of the phone settings. It just remove the unnecessary software.
Please go back and edit your start post Title to this thread with {fixed} then others can use it for reference. Cheers and well done.
So I read that MMS doesn't work in WM6.5 and the solution was to install ArcSoft MMS and fix it that way. The only hitch is...after I installed the CAB, I can't seem to figure out where the actual program is so I can set everything up. Looking through File Explorer I see nothing in Program Files that looks related, nor does there appear to be any kind of new settings panel anywhere. I apologize if this is a stupid question but I searched through all the ArcSoft topics and everyone seems to have been able to figure this out except me.
Help? I'm using a Kaiser on T-Mobile with Witschey's bare WM6.5 ROM, if that helps. Thanks in advance.
I'm using Kaiser with WM6.5 build 23081 from T.i.R 19k with ArcSoft MMS version 5.2.2.22 bundled in the ROM. MMS is working good to the same operator in Indonesia
I use 2 steps in setting my MMS:
1. Settings - Connections - Connections - Add a new modem conn (the second paragraph)
2. Messaging - MMS Options

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
For the first part, what's the section heading that "Add A New Modem Connection" is under? For me, it's "My Work Network" and that doesn't sound right for adding MMS settings...additionally, I'm trying to use this info to fill in the required fields:
http://support.t-mobile.com/doc/tm21387.xml
But that doesn't list a username or password, which the settings are asking for. Am I doing something horribly wrong here? I admit I know virtually nothing about how MMS works, so writing like you're talking to a 4-year-old would be helpful
Oh, and also just to clarify, I'm using the version of ArcSoft linked in the second post in this topic:

...anyone? Still unable to send/receive MMS and have found nothing which seems to be useful =/
I flashed a ROM without MMS and installed the MMS cab but the MMS config option doesn't appear in Messaging. I need to set the settings to send MMS. Is there a cab I can install to add this?
Use connection setup as AT&T will be in there and MMS will automatically be setup.
I already set up the connection settings but messages don't send. They must be configured in the messaging app but the option isn't there.
Hi guys,
i was previously using a WM platform and now jumping to Android, so I'm pretty new here.
So i dont have any data plan for my milestone and i installed APNDroid to disable 3G/Egde/GPRS. I enabled the option to keep my MMS working. But the problem is that i cant even send out a MMS at all unless i enable my 3g/Egde/GPRS.
Is there a way to fix this or is it a bug?
Thanks guys for being patient with me.
Do you use the most current version 2.1.3? This enables you to keep mms service active
Yes, i download the latest apndroid in the market. Still, i cant send out mms when i disable my 3g/egde/gprs. I can only send mms when i enable 3g/egde/gprs.
Check the contents of your MMS access point: Settings->Wireless (something like that) and find your way to the access point list on your phone (sorry I have German locale so I can't tell you a specific path)...check there if there is still "apndroid" appended and delete this sequence from your mms-profile...also make sure that the APN-type is "mms" (without the quotes)...
I checked and notice that if i disable "keep mms" option, my mms apn doesnt have "apndroid" behind it. Its weird tho. Is apndroid working well for you?
Yeah, mine works flawlessly...:/
