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.
I've got a strange/annoying issue dealing with MMS messaging on my new Tilt.
Current goodies on the Tilt:
ROM: ShogunMark's Deathv4.1
3.55.502.1 WWE (6/15/08)
Radio: 1.65.20.29
SPL: HardSPL-3.56
As far as I can tell, I have all the current ATT network settings. I can send MMS messages, and anyone can receive them. I can send MMS to myself, and I can receive that. Another user on ATT can send me MMS. And I can send MMS to myself from my desktop email (using [email protected]). People on other networks (T-Mobile, Verizon, and Sprint that I've tested so far) cannot send me MMS. On their end, it shows everything being sent just fine, and they don't get any error messages. But I never receive the messages. Not even if they send the MMS to my phone's email addy from their device.
I talked to ATT support yesterday trying to verify the network settings, and the support rep couldn't even find what settings I was supposed to have. Though he did identify that a MMS enabled flag on my account was set to NO. He set that to yes, I reset the phone and reconnected to ATT.... and I still have the same issue. That network setting didn't seem to change anything.
I've read all the threads I can find about MMS issues, and none of them address this problem (at least that I can see).
At any rate, my current MMS server settings are as follows. Can anyone verify these for me?
Server name: AT&T MMS
Gateway: wireless.cingular.com
Port number: 80
Server address: http://mmsc.cingular.com
Connect via: MEdia Net
Send limit: 1200K
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
John
similar problem
I have an att tilt and gullums throttle diamond I multi language rom...i installed arcsoft latest version and now i have the menu and mms options under the menu tab in messaging and can send mms now but not receive....ive also tried installing the MMS medianet settings cabs posted another thread and still cannot receive ..ive also tried sending msgs to myself which does not work but if i reply to one of my own mms messages that i tried to send and select mms (you can select mms or sms options to reply) and then i can receive one of my own but this is the only message i am able to receive.
It ended up that the MMS flag on my account (that the support rep reset) was the culprit (I think). Two days after he made the change, I received a whole mess of media messages. Since then, I've had no problems at all, even going through several different ROMs.
Give ATT support a ring and see if they can figure anything out.
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?

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.
Yes, I know this question has been asked 150,000 times. Yes, I've read the threads. Dozens of times.
I have a Droid 1 on Cricket's $45 plan, and it's working perfectly. Calls, text, data, everything works 100% of the time, except MMS.
I've tried different roms (stock, bugless beast 0.2 and onwards, gpa15, gpa16, gpa17, simplystunning 5.2-.4, liquid gingerbread 2.0-.6, cyanogenmod 6-7, droid concepts, all of them), I've tried greenk45, I've tried xsylus's recommended apn settings + scriptrunner, I've tried the regular cricket APN settings (wap.mycricket.com:8080, 310:004, 310:016, server being * or wap.mycricket.com or mms.mycricket.com etc.) I've tried EVERYTHING.
And no matter what, when I try sending an MMS it just keeps 'sending' forever, and when I send an MMS from another phone or text4free.net, I get a text from 8662742538 saying "Multimedia messages are being sent to your device, but your device doesn't support these messages. Visit your nearest Cricket store for new device options"
I will do ANYTHING. ANYTHING you tell me to do. I will flash any rom, I will type any APN settings, run any script, I don't care what it takes. I just want to receive a single MMS on this otherwise perfectly-working phone.
I've been a C/assembly programmer for 13 years, I'm no stranger to any technical jargon you can throw at me, I just desperately need to know why this unimaginably simple task is impossible to achieve.
Log into your mycricket.com account and check your plan. This just happen to my wife's phone. I changed phones and did a ESN change. It removed "Picure Messaging/text messaging" and replaced it with "text messaging". Therefore you'll get that message when someone sends you an MMS because your phone does not have that feature enabled.
Call cricket and have them provision your phone again. I had to tell them i had a Samsung (cricket phone) and explained that it was flashed to Sprint and back to cricket.
not sure if this applies to cricket but on verizon, i couldn't ever send a mms without setting my data to enabled, if i didn't enable data it would take 399 years
Believe me, it's the account settings. When I did a ESN change a few days ago the system automatically removed Picture/Video. I had to call back and tell them i had a Samsung R560 and refresh my account. Then it showed back up and I no longer get that message when pictures are sent to the phone.
Very interesting! I logged in and only had text messaging, no picture messaging listed. I called 1-800-CRICKET and a lady said everything was now fixed, but still no MMS. Now there's not only no picture messaging listed, but no regular texting either. Seems strange.
Perhaps worst of all, when sending test MMS's from web sites, I'm no longer receiving the dreaded 'your device doesn't support these messages' text from 8662742538 that I used to, now there's no notification of anything whatsoever!
I've posted a screenshot of my current plan settings at the end of this post, can anyone comment? I'll go to the local Cricket shop tomorrow, but I doubt they'll know what's going on - it's a very small shop that doesn't do flashes or anything.

OK the Cricket store said everything was 100% fine, there was nothing wrong with my plan, and that picture messaging was included. Though if you look in the screenshot, there's still nothing mentioning picture messaging.
Could someone post an (anonymous of course) screenshot of their plan from mycricket.com? Preferably someone on the $45 plan. I just don't understand why it's so difficult to receive MMS messages - if I had a debugger and access to the phone's radio I could figure this out in 5 minutes, the current system seems like nothing but voodoo.
Well nothing changed regarding my last post, and I didn't change any settings on my phone, but now SMS is sending and receiving. No idea why.
APN settings I've had for the past month: Name: Cricket, APN: internet, no proxy, no port, user: (MDN)@mycricket.com, pass: cricket, server: wap.mycricket.com, mmsc: hxxp://mms.mycricket.com/servlets/mms (hxxp changed to allow posting here), no proxy, no port, mcc: 310, mnc: 016, apn type: default,mms. this is all using the dns-based autostart.sh being executed by ScriptRunner.
Also if anyone has trouble with the APN list appearing empty or edited entries disappearing, it's because your build.prop file is listing a different MCC/MNC pair than the APN you've entered - your build.prop probably lists ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric as 310004 or something, so unless the APN matches that (try changing MNC to 016 and watch it disappear), Android decides not to display it.
Hi;
I have a unlocked Verizon Droid3 on PCMobile account in Canada.
I can not recieve mms messages.
PCMobile tech says everything on their end is fine. Message is being sent to phone.
I can connect and browse the web, recieve regular text etc..
When someone sends me an mms message i get 2 options, download and reject. When I try to download it tells me "message failed, try again"
I have messages set to download mms automatically.
I had to manually set apn settings as per Bell.ca for a moto milestone. Tech confirmed.
Is there a setting somewhere I can not find, or something locked to verizon that has to be changed?
I have ver 2.3.4
I believe it is rooted
Help please.
