I do apologize of there is a better spot for this post but it contains what I think will be some useful information.
Ive seen plenty of posts (not threads) that regard the MMS sending and receiving issued with the various versions of CM. Just today I tried 3 different fresh installs of the CM each having similar issues. My problem being I could not receive any MMS being sent to me. It included a download button that ultimately gave an unsuccessful error.
I know that many people spoke of editing APNs and custom user-agents - none of which ever solved my problem.
Interestingly enough, as per my experience, it all comes down to either there is text included in the MMS. If a picture is sent solo - I will not be able to get it. BUT, if the message includes and kind of text - the message will always appear (the download button never even intervenes in the process).
I'm posting this because I shared the frustration many others have vented. Myself, of course, needing ditry pictures from my GF just to get me through the day .
I hope this adds some insight to the problem - because we all love CM

EDIT: If there is a better place for this type of information, (I am a bit of a noob) please simply direct me - I need only be told once.
Question, are you texting in other other language other than English? I encounter the same issue when sending text in Spanish, I think it has to do with the accentuation of the letters.
Moved to Q&A section
are we sure its a specifically CM issue? Because my stock N1 and my wife's MyTouch Slide usually cant successfully send or receive mms. But that text thing you mentioned is intriguing ill have to test that out

I hadn't noticed untill today. I'm running Arcsoft MMS Composer 4.2.8.1 and I can't send an MMS message... it keep just saying "Error syncronizing" I found several different settings on google and none of them worked. Is there something else I'm needing to do to use MMS on the ATT service. I live california in case that matters as far as servers is concerned.
Is this a common problem or is it just my quazi-n00b status...

If you go here:
http://www.wireless.att.com/support/tutorials.do?subscriberType=cing&deviceId=9990
You can get all the settings instructions for the device. Just click through what you're looking for on the left hand side. It has all the tutorials you should need. It has the MMS settings and whatnot, too.
I'm havinf this problem as well. All my settings are as displayed on the At&t support page, so I'm at a loss as to what could be going on. very frustrating.
Tilt running Dutty's v3 final rom.
one of the settings says to limit it to 600. i can only limit it to 300. and I also have the added option of choosing wap 2.0 or wap 1.2... I tried the settings as best I could on that site and it didn't work. I'm currently using See No Evil Latest ROM with arcsoft MMS Composer 4.2.8.1... Its still giving me "error syncronizing"

yes and yes.
But, isnt this cute! Several noobs and nobody bothers searching. I replied to ANOTHER "same" thread not to long ago. So I know for a fact the answer is out there. You just have to remember that we are not your mom and we will not just GIVE you what you request....
SEARCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and some searching turns up absolutely nothing related. in fact. the search terms mms not working mms att and mms at&t turned up nothing. other searches gave too broad a spectrum.
Beyond that. a response doesn't take any more than a minute to type, and is often times much more appreciated than begging me to search when the answer has been buried. Also is generally a bit nicer of a thing. and with your response, you could have easilly had enough time to post some help that may have been useful, rather than taking the time to write a long response about something we *may* have already done.
EDIT: Redundancy

I used a search, and found nothing that fixed the problem, which is why i asked again. If it wasnt the correct search, whoops. I understand you desire to not waste topic space, , but really, If you already know, which it seems to me you do, or at least have an idea of where to point a person, then why not help? What you are doing is the equivalent of telling a person to buy a map and a compass when you know the point they are looking for is around the corner on the left hand side. You wasted more effort thinking out that oh-so-clever OMFGBBQPWN response than was necessary.
But anyways, I'll just mosey around that corner now. That said, thanks for the inf-, oh wait.. never mind.

no bashing each other plz
Ok, this is what you do. From the stock MMS that is part of the tilt, you fill in the blanks for the extra open MMS settings. There will already be a ATT MMS that is set to default but the other one will have no fields filled in when you go into its settings. Add all the MMS settings and save. Now install the hacked MMS which needs to be installed if you are using the palm threaded. This is done because the stock text messaging is tied into the MMS. When you install the threaded, it will take out the original SMS and the MMS along with it. When you install the enable MMS which is now the 2nd and final CAB thats needs to be installed, it will carry over the edited MMS settings from the additional that was edited This must be done efore you install the MMS CAB as you can NOT edit once it is installed. Thats it!
Hello everyone...I searched and searched for this issue, and it seems that other people are having somewhat different problems, or they're related to a specific service (GMail, etc). For background: it's an ATT Tilt, running the standard WM6.1 ROM.
I'm having a problem with my EMail...it's downloading headers only...the body of the message is blank. I've already gone in and specified "Download entire message" in the settings, I tried deleting the account and recreating it, I turned the phone off (and removed the battery)...the whole nine yards. Could someone please tell me what the frak is wrong with this thing and how I can correct it? I don't know if it's a registry setting, corrupt file, or what...the fact that the problem recurs even after deleting/recreating the EMail account is truly frustrating.
In doing the research for this issue, I came upon someone who wrote a "Goodbye Kaiser" thread...I'm telling you, if there was a viable alternative phone with all the features I wanted, I'd be an inch away from joining him.

Sorry, I don't have an answer for you, but I must support someone who brings BSG lingo into everyday life.
Damn toasters.....
Hey, do u guys have the anserws to theese questions?
1. I want to choose for how long the green lamp, which indicates "new message/sms", shall blink. Now the option is "grey" and it's set to 5minutes. But you can't change the time. What should I do to set the time?
2. I've tried all the pre-installed keyboards that comes with the phone. But I'm not really happy with it. One must, is that it should contain the charachters "åäö" (a swedish keyboard).
3. Can I set the vibrator to a personal setting? Like now, if I get a sms/message, my phone only vibrate once. Which is really hard to notice, when I got it in my pocket. So can I somehow make it vibrate more?
4. And how do I get my "sms-wordlist" to work?! Everytime I add a diffrent word in my "sms-wordlist" it disappear a time later. Which is really enoying. How do I fix it?
Thx for answering!

Regarding a keyboard with Swedish layout, try FingerKeyboard
I use it with Danish layout but you can also have it with eg. Swedish layout.
nobody else? Plz, I need thoose answers!
otherwise I'm thinking of buying a new phone, because the sms-function is at my greatest use..

There have been posts elsewhere on the Forum on all the issues you raise - for example http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=606212.
I'm pretty sure I've seen a thread very recently about changing the vibration settings - if I did a search, I'm sure I could find it in a couple of minutes. Someone's responded to your question about keyboards - and, on adding words to T9's dictionary, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=557320&highlight=T9+words+adding might help.
Usually, for most of the niggling issues, there is either a simple setting change (which may involve adding/changing registry keys) or CABs that can be downloaded and tried. Take a look - there's a wealth of material here waiting to be searched!
thx so much i've tried to search on xda, but I kinda failed ^^
I'll try the links and come back with some respons

Right now, I've fixed the led-lamp, t9-wordlist and fingerboard. But I've tried to search xda for how to do your own custom vibration when receiving sms, and I've just found one... (can't post url:s yet) here is the topic "Vibration pattern for Incoming Calls, SMS and EMail "
but the "program" is pritty old and the developer doesn't write how to uninstall it if something goes wrong. So can you try to find something else, that might be better?
Edit:
Then I've found the names "SMS POPUP" and "DGAlert" but none of them is available for install/dwl at xda...

Hi All,
I've been doing a bit of reading about this issue, and there's varying information about it.
Basically, when I receive and MMS, the quality is downsized (for a photo), or a video, may simply be truncated.
When I receive the request, the app says MMS ready to download, 49kb. I accept the download, and then view, if it's a photo, it's usually 15kb at a res of abour 280x150px.
If it's a video it still says it's 49kb, then I hit download, and it downloads the message, but says the attached file is corrupt.
Now I know the files aren't that size when sent from the source.
People have suggested it's a problem with the useragent coming from the phone, and Telstra (my provider) has an issue with an "unrecognised device" and defaults to the lowest settings possible.
I've tried chompsms and handcent, same issue - and I can't find the option to change the useragent for MMS.
Others have suggested hacking the mms.apk file, but we don't have that, only conversation.apk
(Now i'm wondering if the issue is in messaging.apk ?)
Has anyone got any ideas about this issue? It's not a Telstra issue, I was doing this just fine on my previous phone. :/
Cheers.
Still had no luck with this. Just dropped my SIM back in my old HTC TP2, and boom! 252kb MMS's are back. (Just had one come in that refused to download).
So i've also stuffed up my Conversations apk & odex...
Any quick ways of getting those out of the recovery .img files?
Edit : Just reflashed system.img using fastboot and it's fine.
Just a final heads up on this.
It seems it was a Telstra issue, for some reason it just magically started working correctly today. 2 New MMS received today at the correct quality.
No changes to my phone, and I did NOT talk to Telstra about this. How strange!
Hi guys,
I posted this on the CyanogenMod forums, but no one replied, so I guess I will try there
Just installed CM7.1 a few weeks ago. I barely use SMS messages, however, yesterday I needed to send a couple but the recipients are getting a lot of garbage when they receive my message. It only happens if the text contains an accented word. If I write in plain english, the sms is received just fine.
Attached you will find two screenshots of this problem. One in a HTC Wildfire S, and another in a BlackBerry Pearl.
This never happened on the stock Samsung ROM (XXJVT), so I guess its a CM7-stable bug.
Has anyone experienced anything like this?
;/ same problem ...

I'm having the same problem, I have a galaxy s2 with swype ....
I tried flashing a new radio, and also checking the "split text messages" option but it didn't work.
Which 'accented word', exactly? Maybe the other phones don't support the characters you are trying to send them? Other than that, I can't reproduce this myself, so I'm not entirely sure.

Try with:
- número
- canción
- áéíóú
The fact is, this didn't happen on stock XXJVT, it happens only on CyanogenMod 7 stable. Those are my close friends mobiles, and I have texted them before on stock with no issue at all.
I don't think its a recipient problem. Those accented letters are pretty common in spanish.
