Unlocked Tilt, No MMS

Please note, that I have confirmed that MMS settings are correct, I have done manual entries and Lurche's cab...
However with my new unlocked Tilt, I cannot get my MMS to work. I just get an "Error Synchronizing"
If I put back my SIM card into my old TyTn, I can do a Send/Receive no problem.
Does anyone have any thoughts as to what I can do/test?
Thank you!

...and all of a sudden, I just received an MMS!
I still get an Error Syncing, but it seems to work!
Please disregard!

MMS Help
Mine still doesn't work and I have the same problem as the guy above me. All settings are correct. But whenever I click on send/receive, I get an error synchronizing message. I am able to send but not receive. Help!

Are you using a threaded add on? Have you made any changes (ROM or apps) that would make this happen?

I've just flashed my tilt with Dutty's Dual v4. It also didn't work when I had v3, didn't test it with the stock ATT ROM though. My 8525 used to be able to send and receive without problems.

Since I am not familure with Duty's roms, I dont know what is on them. However, my Tilt, which has the Palm Threaded cab added, gives me the same error. But, even with the errors, my MMS works fine.
Are you able to send and/or receive any MMS?
In the settings for the MMS server, ensure that you are using ATT (or whatever) for the default setting.

I'm not sure about the palm threaded cab... what does it do? I am able to send (I think) but definitely not receive.

Is your user agent set correctly? & if you're AT&T you need the proxy cab.

I'm on tmobile with an unlocked tilt.

I've posted my problems several times before.
I'm on US ATT with a Tilt using Duttys v2. The message says it was successfully sent but the recipient never actually gets the message. Strange part is that I can send to an email address just fine and can send to myself just fine. All of my settings are correct.

I'm on US T-Mobile and I've never had a problem sending or receiving MMS. My only problem was receiving small pics but thats fixed with the wspheader cab. BTW I mustve used 5 diff roms by name and currently using duttys v4. what radio are you using?
To the original poster, I never had to manually enter anything or use any cab to receive any mms. once the configuration is done and soft reset everything should work fine.
To the second person that had the problem i see your using the radio that i had with duttys v3. once i went to v4 i couldnt connect to the internet at all so that might be the problem. try using 1.27.12.11

MMS intermittent several days of effort very frustrating
I have searched hi and low and spent hrs reading posts on all the problems with mms not working on t mobile. My problem seems to be an isolated problem?
I did not get the mms at first so I put in the settings posted. I tried both wap.voicestream and the internet2.voicestream.com... and still the same problem. I then tried the 29.99package cab that was made. and a day later still the same problem.
I have a Tilt with htc dutty rom
the numbers at start up are
r 1.64.06.04
g 25.70.40.02w
d 1.60.00.00
After running the 29.99 cab it seems to be more stable with email accounts and increased the send to 300k but the mms is intermittent.
When I get the message it shows the text box at the bottom of the today screen. If I do not click on it right away when it goes away it never shows up on the message alert icon in the middle of the today screen it also does not show up in the mms area conversation or not(gone forever). Then sometimes maybe 4 hrs later one might all of a sudden load??? and appear even after it attempted to download the first time earlier in the day???
Then sometimes it will download and notify, if I click on it right away I can view the text and pic, once I press close it never shows up in the mms area? Like its gone to the TILT angels to never be seen again??? Then sometimes it downloads and starts a conversation and works normal??? (Very rarely though)
I have tried several settings my internet works with auto or all settings I have tried. Its just the mms receiving. Its hit or miss? Any suggestions I would greatly appreciate. If you need any numbers or other info let me know and much thanks.

for ATT you're most likely missing some registry settings. does dutty's rom have arcsoft cooked in? i have a cab that 100% works with ATT. click the link in my sig and install Arcsoft 5_0_31_16 in my first post or Arcsoft 5_0_31_19 from my second post.

These cabs do work for picture MMS but not for video MMS unless you have changed something recently. There are very few ROMS with working video MMS on AT&T. Dutty's latest and the Death beta both work for sure. I've flashed to many times lately to remember what others. I should start making a list.

I don't know if your up for changes...but try my new rom under my signature.... MMS is working perfect for AT&T.
If anything, download it, extract it, and look at my MMS settings if you would like. I was having problems sending to Verizon customers until now. Either the network is fixed or my MMS is great! I'm going with the network being fixed.

If sending to verizon make sure your message size is under 300k. They can't receive larger. Have you tested video mms on your ROM? Create a message. When you go to add a video, tap and hold the video and select play. If it plays within arcsoft then yours should be working. I haven't gotten the chance to test your ROM yet but I will.

what about using it on T-Mobile?
The problems i stated previously in my earlier post are for T-mobile? Is there other options or suggestions other than the ones I posted? Thanks.

maybe this is related...
I am on at&t, but I think it might apply to t-mobile, who knows.
I used the htc autoconfig for a wm6.1 rom and had several anomalies with my connection settings. I tried a lot to fix them and am still pretty sure I had the settings right. The only thing that fixed it was taking the advice of a poster which I tried to avoid.
The advice was to not use the automatic connection settings but to use a cab to install them instead.
So I hard reset and never looked back.
Point is that you most likely have a setting issue, but I couldn't fix it after autoconfig. I tried deleting the settings and installing the cabs, but still had random issues.
Dutty's hybrid apr 29 worked fine for me.
ryncppr, nice rom

Tmobile and mms issue research dutty dual touch
UPDATE:::
I did a hard reboot and started from scratch ignored the auto network setup. I then tried to install the joe2995 tmobile cab. It would not do anything without already having the settings setup, then it adjusts them. So I then tried to manually set them up and I used tmobile wesite they actually show the tytn 2 phone and settings. And that was where the questions began. I soon learned the settings for MMS was not in the phone where it said, materafact I could not find them at all. I have duttys dual touch and wondered if that was the issue. So I started some intense investigation and found that the settings are only achievable if you setup an email account. The mms server settings only show in the menu of the email account? Is this just a software setup issue? or does it effect the mms because its located in the email area. I dont have the code and do not know what order it was written in so Its only a question. I did more research on the site and found that everyone with duttys dual touch and tmobile posts said they were having this sort of problem. And yet others with duttys other versions were ok. Anyone's insight would be appreciated? I also put the correct settings in the mms server area and still having intermittent mms issues, as posted in previous post. Anyone with duttys dual touch version and tmobile ok with mms and photo send and receive??

No MMS ATT
I have the new gullum throttle diamond rom and was able to send/ receive mms before the flash i installed arcsoft v 4.0.31.28.2 and it restored the multimedia option under messages but i can neither send nor receive even though messeges say sent

does using tzone proxy affect mms?

ok im using tzones proxy. works fine. im also using open touch 5ul. my sms works fine. but cant receive or send mms. i notice mms messages go through the net or wateva. being i changed my settings to work with proxy is this affecting my mms? any help would be appreciated. im using my phone now to type this

yes it will affect your mms but there is a quick fix. all you need to do is create a new mms.. then press menu and go to options... from their it is going to go to all your accts and select mms then go to settings. you will hten have to change the internet settings to default and use t-mobile data... that is if and only if you are using T-moble.. for all other network providers im not positive how it works... if you have any problems let me know..

r u saying create a new mms text? am i suppose to send it? my sms and mms are in the same folder. for some reason i cant access my mms options. i tried several weeks ago when i tried to do the mms hack but could never access mms options and still cant under the regular inbox screen. thanks for the help. also do i still need my text plan or online mms uses the data part? thanks

ok i removed mms in the registry and reinstall it. i dont mms options no more but my mms and sms is separate. i now can access mms configuration where i see servers? is there where i should be puttin something to get mms workin with my tzone? thank u

i end up finding wat i was lookin 4.

Hey i want to apologize to you that i wasnt able to help you out during the weekend. I had a busy day yesterday and didnt get a chance to log in. Well i beleive that you have fixed it and that is great. If not, and you still need help just send me a pm and i will get back to you as soon as i can.

my mms works a lil. receive mms sometimes. i will mms myself and sometimes they come through and some times they dont its a lil more they dont then do. i dont y it does this wich sucks

Android MMS: How to send on Verizon (receiving still doesn't work)

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)
<post deleted>

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...

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...

any word on camcorder/mms sending?

Title says it all

+1 to that.

I know how to send mms but not recieve.
For Verizon do this to be able to send mms
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
I was thinking i should modify the username to [email protected] and password to vzw like windows mobile but i am afraid to try it because i dont know what the current password is to change it back if it dont work for recieving

Well I have a sprint touch and I can receive. Not sure why everyone says they can't, but I followed the thread and the only sprint version I saw was for the thouch pro 3 so I tried that and it sends but it doesn't make it to the person I'm sending to, tried sending to my email and phone.

You can receive? But can't send? Sounds strange. Make sure your entering your phone number in the MMSC field as 1234567890 not <1234567890> thats what I was doing wrong initially. Can you post a link to the tp2 thread you are reffering to...I've seen a few but none mentoined any setting besides the ones already listed in this thread.

It was just on the 3rd Or 4th page I think. : http:// Developement" section: http:// forum.xda-developers.com/ showthread.php?t=627388. Yeah I was always able to receive mms, ever since I started using android back in January. But I put in those settings for touch pro 2 found on that site cause it was sprint qnd I was finally able to send it but it wouldn't make it to the person I was sending to.

When you "receive", is it the actual image or a web link to it? Everyone gets the web link - that just means Sprint thinks your phone isn't MMS-capable on the server side so they text you a link instead. You're not "receiving MMS" unless you get the image straight to your phone.

You can just edit the T-mobile apn. Keep in mind once you edit it and save it the apn deletes itself. Then all your left with is the telkila apn. Everything will continue to work as it did before.

It's not strange, sprint doesn't send MMS to the phone through the old fashion way, they send a link to your phone and you follow that to a webpage containing your image

i can receive mms but cant send. any ideas?
note: i have no data but want to send/receive mms. use wifi for internet.
oh also using t-mobile

I have the same prob. I am not sure how to fix it. I am scared to call TMo b/c I have the $9.99 internet plan. I don't want to get busted and have to pay for the data $$ plan.

lol i dont even have an internet plan. xD some said to call tmobile to ask for the settings but yah i have the same fear as u do

i had the same problem.. i called tmo and they tried everything in their power to help me.. hahaha yea right! lol but anyways, they really did try to help but nothing worked.. i could receive them but couldnt send them..
*** I fixed this issue =]].. if you have the sms app handcent ***
click on it, hit the menu button, got to settings, hit send message settings, scroll down to "maximum mms size" choose 300K... by default it would say 1M, thats too big for most phones..
it worked for me, hopefully you too =]]

tried handcent. tried imageshrink lite. no workie still =[

My situation is a little different.
I can send and receive to all my family and friends. Except one friend.
He can send, and I can receive.
But I can't send him any MMS. They show up as blank.

Android resizes to send mms on the nexus but it doesn't make it small enough for a lot of phones like the iPhone, I can't send mms to my friends with iPhones. I don't know whether android just hates apple that much or whether android just didn't think sending mms was near the top of their customers' lists. Android can be really out of touch alot of the time. But you can use a third party app to send mms. I feel like a jackass to have to tell you to get a third party app to perform on your "super"phone what for all other "smart"phones is a basic function, but that's android for you. Maybe when they fix the ui theyll add a function that lets us send mms to the most popular phone in America.

I was able to send MMS to everyone, without issues. This only happened when I went Froyo.

I had the same problem when sending mms to AT&T people using default messenging. Switched over to handcent and it worked

been trying different sizes on handcent. even down to 100k. no workie still. =/ is this a froyo prob or just me?

I resized as well. It will not work for me. I just email it to send something.

I have the same proble....i receive the picture message and when I try to download it says downloading and then nothing happens and the download button appears again

Same exact issue here.
