I have reverted back to my XDA IIs whilst my Vario II is being repaired. I have managed to set up the GPRS connection and I am browsing the web without any issues. I cannot however access MMS.
Is there issues with MMS on this handset with T-Mobile? The helpdesk seemed to think that it required 'WAP 2'
Cheers
Aidan
install mms enable (however what type of rom do U have?)
Hi Nyuszi,
The ROM is the i-mate v1.40.00 WWE
Included with the ROM is MMS Composer Version 2.0.0.23
Would you recommend mms enable rather than this? Where will I find it?
Thanks
Aidan
well i tought U have a wm5 rom...so anyway i think you won't need it...all you have to do, is to set the parameters for mms...probably U would find it on your service providers homepage (cuz mms communicates on gprs...usually you have to set up a new connection profile and a modem at connections)
Aidan try to flash T-Mobile rom, and all T-Mobile settings are predefined in their roms
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.

I'm sure there isn't. But I'm pretty sure you don't need a data plan. My old RAZR did it just fine without a data plan. I know from experience that you can't send or receive mms over wifi
MMS is solely and OTA event. You also do not need a data plan to view an MMS. You do, however, need the proper settings in your phone before it will DL a MMS OTA.
As for sending one over WiFi, yes, it is called email and IMing.

you used to be able to, but T-Mobile took care of that, and the APN is now blocked so you can't send or receive the mms messages. Kinda sucks.
settings for MMS over wifi?
pcforpres mentions settings in order to be able to read MMS over wifi, what are the settings? I'm also interested in reading MMS messages over wifi. It would be awesome if I could read/write MMS messages as well, since I do have the unlimited sms/mms with the G1. Obviuosly, I don't have the data plan yet. Thanks!
i think it would be pretty useful.... cause i dont get 3G service in my room or good service at all , and sometimes its impossible to even send an sms

I did not say you could send MMS over WiFi, I said you could only send MMS OTA, which means Over The Air, aka through your carrier's network.
The reason people can't send MMS with cooked ROMs most of the time is because they do not enter their carriers settings into the phone, just like you need to enter the data settings. Sometimes, the date account settings and MMS settings are one in the same, but most of the time they are not.
As well, MMS are independent from having a data account. Every single carrier allows any customer to send and recieve MMS for a nominal fee whether they have a data plan or not. Some bundle MMS in with text while others with data, but MMS is independent of both of those services in terms of network protocol and phone settings(with a few exceptions where if you have a data plan, it is the same setting that your phone uses to do MMS and internet)
WiFi and MMS
Thanks PCJforPres. Per your previous post "MMS is solely and OTA event. You also do not need a data plan to view an MMS. You do, however, need the proper settings in your phone before it will DL a MMS OTA.
As for sending one over WiFi, yes, it is called email and IMing."
You mention you do not need a data plan to view an MMS. I'm currently able to receive the MMS, but not able to download it. Is this what you are saying as well? or can we actually read it via wifi? Are there proper settings to use with no data plan? These MMS messages I somtimes get are just text, but for some reason they come in as MMS. SMS works great. Any thoughts or solutions?
Yes, you must set up your phone with proper MMS and SMS settings for your carrier. MMS does not need dataplan.

What is likely happening is that you do not have the proper MMS settings, either the ROM doesn't have the MMS application, or you have yet to set the settings up. So instead of getting the MMS, you get just the text with a blank "image" box or whatever because it cannot connect to the server to download the data portion. There is no way to us WiFi to do this, because the internet has no way of accessing your carriers network and obtaining that info. It is stuck in your carriers routing system, and after X amount of time will be deleted if you do not download it.
Call your carriers CS line and ask them what the proper settings are for MMS, even if they say they don't support the G1, insist that they tell you the manual settings for a smart phone... you should get APN info, Proxy and Port info, default website info(this is the site it downloads from technically), network type (ie is it WAP, Secure WAP, HTTP, Secure HTTP)... there might be more or less info needed, but those are the basics.
You can usually search the interwebs for this info as well.

And these APN settings are far and few to find but good luck if you find them, I have tried everything, every different type of APN for T-Mobile US and had absolutely no luck.
These are not facts but my own conclusion about this: What I'm afraid is that Android pushes all MMS activity through the data connection anyhow. Because after using another T-Mobile SIM, with the data connection, I was instantly able to download all my MMS pictures. So I don't think there is any correct APN setting for MMS to work without the data plan sadly. That's why I started a thread awhile ago to hopefully build support.. but I guess most people out there have the data plan or no data plan + no messaging or simply just don't care about MMS.

I'm just hoping that somebody will try to fix this problem eventually, but like I've discovered there just isn't much demand for it. Personally, I want to get into Android dev but I can't say how long it'll take me to learn the ropes plus if I'll even be able to do anything about it myself.
MMS over wifi
Yeah, it is crazy that MMS is not available over wifi that we know of. I was going to call tmobile for the APN, but from reading it sounds like MMS by default goes over there new data APN? no clue. What a crappy way to make money for tmobile that they have to force customers to have the data plan. At least SMS works and other functions over wifi (which is really all I need). I don't have time for non-stop data access for my phone. Yeah, hopefully there will be an alternate fix to access MMS over wifi or another APN. Any ideas or does any one have a working APN they can provide?
I guess I'll try tmobile again for a valid APN.
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...:/
