Cannot send MMS pictures or videos

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.

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

MMS?

I've asked this a couple other places, with no success yet...
What does it take to do MMS on one of these things? I've had Arcsoft MMS Composer suggested many times, but FINDING the thing has been impossible. Arcsoft goes on about it at length on their website, mostly about how various mobile providers are bundling it... but mine (Telus) isn't. They don't have a trial download, they don't list it in their store, they don't list anyone who sells it, and they don't even list a price (MSRP or otherwise).
So, does anyone know where I can find this thing? I don't mind paying (a reasonable amount) for a legitimate copy, IF I could find it!
Or suggest something else that might work...?
Thanks.

I know nothing about MMS. But I may have two leads.
I was just looking in a thread about YouTube on the S730, and followed the instructions to install support for it. I think ended up with support for MMS. TCPMP may come with it. If not, the flash plugin may add support. Both are available at www.ytpocket.com. A link on the home page provides tools and instructions for installing both. Free.
As I was composing this note, I checked the file association settings for CoreCodeC. They include MMS. Not free.

Hmm, not sure if we're talking about the same thing. I'm talking about Multimedia Messaging Service - aka Picture Messaging, as opposed to just Text Messaging (SMS). In other words, the ability to "text" someone's phone with an attached picture.
This doesn't appear to have anything to do with that, but I tried it anyway, just for giggles... didn't make any difference to my problem.
Thanks anyway though, it'll be neat having YouTube on my phone

I'm not sure what you are getting at? MMS support is built into the phone? You just go to Message > New > MMS ??

That's the way it should work. With the old standard phones (my RAZR, my V710, my wife's LG, my Treo 650) you can just snap a pic with the camera, go "Send picture", and enter a contact, and it sends straight to their phone, same as you would a text message.
Windows Mobile 5 included this function. 6 apparently doesn't. There's a third-party app that some providers have chosen to include to provide the functionality, but Telus isn't one of them.

WM6 does after all I'm using WM6 and it's in my phone. It looks like that for whatever strange reason your firmware has removed that option.

From what I've been able to determine, MMS support *is not* native to WM6, at least not Standard version. WM6S phones that have it, are generally using Arcsoft MMS Composer, as bundled into the OS by the specific wireless carrier.
This, at least, is the best information I've been able to come up with between this forum and a few others.

I just started the photo app, chose album, selected a picture, chose "Send via MMS" from the menu, and saw a dialog that sure seemed to let me compose a message. I didn't check whether it really did. All this on an HTC S730 (WM 6).

Hmm, alright, mine doesn't quite do that... it has a Send option that lets me select a mail account to use, and Text Message is grayed out.
Apparently though, that's something that's common to almost all HTC phones except those that Telus provides

MMS - message format corrupt

i get this when trying tosend out mms of pics i took.. the pics are downsized.. so i dont understand whats wrong..
anyone plsss?

anyone can help?

I'm also now experiencing this problem. Seems to happen when you take a picture and use the on screen option to create an MMS message and send the picture immediately.
The message sends and a response comes back after a few seconds saying that the message format is corrupt... anyone got any ideas what may be causing this? I'm still stock ROM since Nov 4. 08.
Cheers,
DrSpain

since 09 no one has come up with an answer for this?

Having the same issue.

For the lost souls that find this thread I leave here the solution that fixed my problem (on HTC Desire). I also had the corrupt message being displayed each time sending an MMS. Nothing was resolving my issue. I tried a lot of stuff from deleting and adding APN settings manually to installing APN apps to create the settings for me.
What worked for me:
I created a second entry on the APN settings with the same data as the normal APN for MMS. So instead of having an APN for MMS I now have 2 (with different names). And it started to send and receive MMS. Not sure why this works, but it does.
Also, I've also read somewhere that selecting a different network to lose the connection with the current one and going back again that would fix this issue. It didn't work for me though.

HTC Aria / Android MMS Fix
I recently experienced what I believe is your issue. "message format corrupt" I could send/receive SMS, could receive MMS, but could not send MMS. What I discovered is that there is an error (for lack of a better term) when you import your contacts into Android or Google Contacts where the device, (for MMS messages, but seems to work fine for phone calls) does not recognize telephone numbers with parentheses. In the contacts you have as (505) 555-1212 you'll need to edit to 505-555-1212. This will fix the issue. As a quick test, instead of selecting the contact you wish to MMS and manually enter the number; it should go through just fine.

Email Sending Problem

I can't seem to send large emails through my pop account set up in the messaging centre. It was previously setup and working, i haven't changed anything since.
However when i send a message i get an error message saying check network signal and settings and then try again, except i have checked the settings and they are definately correct as the account was working and does still receive mail.
I resorted to deleting the account and setting it up again, now i still have the same problem, although now the first 800 characters of the email actually get through, or if its a small email the whole thing goes through it can be over 800 characters and send though, but at some point, i'm not sure exactly what it gives the error message and only the first 800 characters arrive.
I can't work out whats going on, can anyone point me in the right direction ?

Right so i figure it might be the classic SMTP sending issue that WM6 seems to have ? Even though it connects and sends some email ?
I tried installing this patch : WindowsMobile61-KB958639.CAB
(I can't link to it)
But apparently...
"This update cannot be installed on this version of Windows Mobile. Current : 6.0 AKU0.4.2.0 Build 18125 Platform 2"
So is there any other work around or do i have to try and find the smtp details for my network provider ?
