anyone having problems sending MMS to anyone with an iphone? i was able to send MMS to my friend who has an iphone with evil NXsense ROM but having no avail with cm6.1. my friend is getting an error saying that the message is too large.
i did a clean wipe and install
i can send MMS to my other friends, but just not those with iphones.
any solutions?
thanks in advance
lol I could start by saying IPHONE SUCKS! but i won't be mean
Anyways, did you check to see if the your phone is converting the files to the right format/size? Check on your friends' phone to see how big the file is and which format...then try to send the same file to the iphone again...make sure that iphone is actually able to receive MMS from other people!
i knew that was coming xD
how do i check if its converting the files to the right format/size?
he is not getting anything. just an error saying:
"one or more of the message components have been deleted by MMS Adapatation. Either the message was too large or the components were unsuitable for your terminal"
hes able to send and receive MMS fine. but the weird thing is, i was able to send him MMS when i was on the evil NXsense rom. since moving to cm6.1, no more goes D:
thanks in advance
CM6 doesn't limit MMS, if I recall correctly, like NXSense does. And iPhone can't receive messages larger than 600kB (Android can send/receive up to 5MB or so). Cut the files you're trying to send in size.

agreed, but doesn't the carrier limit file size? mine limits it to 600kb and it shouldn't even send if it goes higher than that...
As for how to looks at the size, just send the mms to some other phone that works and on that phone check the properties of the file....if the size is <= 600kb then try sending it to the iphone dude
Also, I've had a few problems with files not converting and I found out that when sending an MMS, if I attach a file and click on "Capture Picture" and take a picture instead of selecting a file in the gallery, it seems to convert them....try that!
alright it sending 5mb files. how does one go and cut the size?
Stupid question.. But is the iPhone a First generation iPhone 2G? If it is, and that model is on AT&T it does not support MMS at all. They even go so far as to block the IMEI on that phone so even third party apps won't send or receive MMS messages properly. What version of the iPhone is it?
sorry, i should have included that in my original post. its the 4g

Either using any picture editor / resizer, or trying to add picture to MMS in a different way, which will auto-resize it (from MMS menu, maybe).
Check the size of the MMS by sending it to someone else, as suggested above.
Its something with att because my girlhad an iPhone and now has a captivate. Neither received my mms
Sent from my Nexus One

Read my second post again...the last paragraph I tell you how to do it so it automatically adjusts the size...try it and give us feedback!
nope doesnt work for me. thats how ive been sending them by going to text msg > attach file > capture picture > *takes picture* > says converting to MMS
im starting to think its the ROM instead of the phone D:

Yeah, that's kinda odd.
I can't talk about personal experience since I just switched to Cyanogen and haven't sent an MMS yet (I really never do anyways )
You should try and report it to Cyanogen, maybe they'll get it fixed

How do you send images you've taken in normal setting not MMS type?
My images are over 300kb and are too large to osend via MMS.
My operator only allows up to 99KB per mms.
So if I want to send someone an mms, I have to open a new mms, then select take picture (from within the new mms) and then take the picture.
How to resize it to friendly sizes?
Ive tried the "Resize" but that doesnt really resize it much or enough.
Thanks
Have you tried sending it as an email attachement?
I dont want to email it.
I want the receiver to see it on thier mobile (hence MMS).
No, I mean send it as an email attachment from your phone to theirs, or do they not have the ability to read attachments?
hi,
You can choose the picture format in MMS account configuration. Pictures too large are resized
On my stock TYTN II, it asks if I want to resize the large image when I try to attach it in an mms. Problem is that it always put in the original image un-resized no matter what you try to resize it to.
try emailing it to their phones email addy. I know mine is something like
[email protected]

I thought an MMS would go to:
[email protected]
And a SMS would go to:
[email protected]
Could be, I wasn't stating the address as fact but giving him an idea of what it would be like.

Have you tried to tweak the mms sending and receiving size, to enable you to send/receive pics up to 1mb?
It requires you to do a reg edit.
HKLM/Software/Arcsoft/Arcsoft MMS/Config/UI/SizeLimit
just change all 3 Recvlimit's and all 3 Sendlimit's to either
614400 (which is 600k). or you can do what I did, and put 1024000 (which is 1mb). Or .. you can put 1536000 (which is 1.5mb).
Exit and then soft reset device so the settings will keep. Once rebooted, go your mms configuration settings in your messaging options menu, and be sure to select whatever you've indicated in your reg settings, (600k, 1mb, or 1.5 mb).
Press ok, ok, and youre done. Now you should be able to send a mms message that more than 300k now. Hope this helps.
If you're limited to 99kb per MMS, then I would suggest lowering the resolution of your camera before taking the picture. While its not an ideal solution, it should work...
NotATreoFan -Ya I know I can reduce the size but I also want max quality pictures for PC show.
robosiris- I thought the limit was strictly administered by my service provider. Ill try it and see!
Thanks

I thought so too. But with this tweak, I can now send and recieve up to 1mg. You can set it higher but 1mg is good for me.
Also, If you're looking to send/receive pics over 1mb and alittle under 1.5mg, you can try setting it to 1228800 which gives me an option for 1200K, (1.2mb). With these tweaks, you won't (or very rarely) have to worry about changing images sizes.
Hope this helps
Is there a way to recieve mp3 mms messages? Everytime I recieve a mms message with a mp3 attached, it never comes through. It says that "One or more of the message components were deleted due to mms adaptation." Is there a way to fix this?
You need to use email for that.
I am able to receive mp3 files by MMS without issue. Just keep the size under the maximum allowed. Short ringtones are fine, but a full song will be rejected by AT&T.
Ok I tried shrinking the size of the mp3 to 32kb. It still says the same thing.
That sound like an issue with AT&T then. I would get on their case about it because I frequently send and receive 400kb mp3 files.
Its funny because I can send them to my friend who has a motoQ on AT&T, but when he sends it to me it doesn't come through. The same thing happens when I send it to myself.
You need to be set to "free" creation mode, unless I am mistaken. Try this cab that atw and scotchua made the other day.

What is a "cab" and how do I install it? Im having the same problem with receiving MP3's.

Oops! My bad I got it to work. For some reason I separated the files upon uploading. Needless to say, the .cab works phenomenally!!! Thanx for the help P1Tater and johnq_24!!!
Att Settings Cab.
I installed the cab in my tilt and it works great. However, I do not have the data plan, but I have the unlimited txt plan. Will I be charge through 1kb/1cent or would it be through my unlimited txt plan?

You will not be billed for data usage that occurs due to sending/receiving MMS messages as long as your unlimited messaging plan included MMS.
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)

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...

Nice work! I'll have to try and get Telus MMS working in WinMo this weekend some time... I really don't feel like booting up WM right now though. I will be sure to post any success I have here.

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...
How come when the sms message gets too long, it will be converted to MMS? How do I solve this problem?

I think your confused.. Im going to assume your trying to send a picture and it says its too large so its converting it to an mms right?
Actually, he's right. On my G1 when I hit so many characters (usually by the end of the 3rd set of 160) it changes to MMS. The reason it does this is so the network can better handle the message. Sending as 3 seperate texts would take more time for the network to submit, store, and resend, than 1 MMS message would.

No he isnt confused, when you sent a text that goes over a certain amount of characters it converts it into a mms, i dont think you can stop it from converting it but what you can do is send multiple text massages under the conversion limit
Oh okay, so there is nothing I can do about it?
Not really no. Just when you get to a certain limit and the counter appears showing how many characters you have left, just send it, and start on the next one
Send shorter messages, send an email or IM...
SMS converts to MMS when it gets 3 messages long..it has a character count so stop right before it converts and send it and continue in a new text
ok you want to rid this problem but i would like my tilt to do this aoutmaticly, any way?
Yeah, download HandCent SMS application. It will solve this application.
dear all...

I believe in message settings it gives you the choice to break up a message into separate messages if it's too long. Mine automatically does it

all long message can't receive in my htc hero
My phone splits all incoming long messages. What app are you using?
You might try using handsent if your are having problems. Just do a search for it in the market. It will split them up and it has different layout themes you can choose from.
Anyone know of any other good messaging apps?
I use the original one on the phone and it splits them up for me. Never changed a setting for it.
Are you on Sprint or a different carrier? Some carriers will only receive 160 characters and will not split the message.
I have same problem too.
I can't receive SMS from GSM Handset when it sent with more than 160 chars.
This is happened after I upgrade from 1.5 to 2.1
In 1.5 incoming message more than 160 chars will be splitted into several message.
After upgrade to 2.1 nothing receive if messages sent having more than 160 chars.
Does anyone have the answer or having the same problem.
Helllpppp....
does anybody has the same problem outthere?
pls share...
