Can't send Text pictures using ATT network.

[Ajrgonz]

Hi, I'm new to Smartphones and it can be bit bit much. I've search to see if I could find what I wanted to know. No luck I must not be correctly phrasing what I'm looking for, because it is a very simple question, I'have found and learn a lot about rom flashing though.

But back to my question. I bought my daughter a T Mobile Dash, I have SIM and application unlocked the phone and my service provider is AT&T. My daughter can't send pictures in her texts. They just sit there and are never sent. Could somebody enlighten me on where to look for or tell me what to do?

Also what does the spinning W near the right hand corner mean?

Thanks in advance

Thank you jdoggraz, for the help. I did run into a problem when I got to the section about MMSC Settings for MMS. My daughters dash is running WM6, not WM 6.1 like the Wiki states. On this phone there is no Scroll to MMS > Menu > Settings > MMSC Settings. So I can't make the changes. Will I have to flash the phone with WM6.1?

Thanks again

No I do not believe so, try this click the message icon in the bottom right of the phone, and then scroll to MMS and see if you can change the settings from there... if not you will probably have to upgrade to 6.1, i would recommend you do that as your daughter will probably enjoy the threaded texting much more... and it offers other nice features... I would recommend using Rickys version 24 6.1 Rom, a tutorial is below in my signature that tells you how to upgrade to 6.1... follow it step by step...

[Ajrgonz]

jdoggraz, thanks so much for the help and insight. I'll give it a try and and thanks again.

No problem, if you need help just let me know okay.

Oh no problem, so do you like the new 6.1 rom?

[Ajrgonz]

jddoggraz, Ihere I'am in Albuquerque, NM and I was able to borrow a laptop.
I tried your suggestion, but I still can't send a picture text and IE eruarors out on me when I use the WIFI. I know the WIFI works because I can get weather updates. My daughter and I love WM6.1, so much I thing I'm going to get a DASH. We both like the customizations that are available.

[Ajrgonz]

jdoggraz, I'm back from my trip. I now also have a DASH. I'm still tryiong to send pictures in texts, but no luck, I'm using Ricky's WM6.1 with Opera. I've followed the Dash Wiki and from this point on what comes up on my Dash is different from the Wiki. in red

Try running connection setup in accessories folder, and then restart the phone.

Thanks jdoggraz, for all your help you have been more than kind and patient with me. I'll give it a try and see what happens. just one quick question since you work for t-mobile Wear could I purchase a complete housing fro the Dash?

Thanks in advance.

[jdoggraz]

I just typed t-mobile dash housing.

[Ajrgonz]

I just typed t-mobile dash housing.

I tried that and got zilch. e bay doesn't like my $$ lol.

By the way still no luck sending picture in text. it's got to be some thing really minor.

[Ajrgonz]

I have 4 messages just sitting in my out box. 3 of them with the clock & envelope icon and 1 that just failed.:confused:

Did you run the connection setup?

[Ajrgonz]

Did you run the connection setup?

Yes as you suggested I tried the conection setup and the phone rebooted.

[jdoggraz]

Yes as you suggested I tried the conection setup and the phone rebooted.

So did that end up working for you?

[Ajrgonz]

So did that end up working for you?
No it didn't I tried the first time you suggested, but still no luck. I keep playing with it but no luck.:(

[jdoggraz]

Try calling At&T and seeing if they are willing to assist you in entering the configuration settings.

[Ajrgonz]

Yeah you must be clairvoiant that was my next move lol

Those arrogant SOBs told me if it's not their phone their is no support. :mad:

[jdoggraz]

Oh that is so retarded. Tell them that it is a BJ II and you need to reconfigure your settings. See if that works.

I have an s620 on ATT and I can't send MMS or Picture Texts. It took me some time to realize but I came to the conclusion that it isn't the phone's settings, it's the fact that my plan does not allow for MMS. It doesn't even let me send/receive them and pay per Kb sent. I only have SMS, no MMS package so I can't receive or send picture texts. This may or may not be your problem as well :).

Oh good point made... That is pretty weird cause with T-Mobile you can still send and receive MMS even though you do not have the plan, you will just have to pay for it... Or you can always opt out and have them blocked...

No that's not it, I have twin daughter s one has a Pantech Duo the other has an unlocked Dash. The Duo sends and receives pictures just fine. So my plan allows for that. I tried looking at the settings on my daughter's Duo but those SOB"s at AT&T lock you out of the settings so you can't access them. She has WM6.1 on her Duo is there way to take off those locks so I can see she has her MMS set up?

[Ajrgonz]

jdoggraz, I found this set up in the AT&T support forums there were only 6 posts. The last 2 (1 from 5/5/08 & the other 8/21/08 ) Both said they got it to finally work. One did say he couldn't get the IM to work. here ar the settings:

So did it end up working for you man?

[Ajrgonz]

On the first try no, I think the problem might be in inputting the password in the
GPRS, it calls for all upper case letters, since you can't see what you are inputting ( every character is swith to an * ) you are not sure if they are entered as Upper Case. I'm going to leave a post to see if one of these two guys responds. Got keep on trying, the solution is out there.

[Ajrgonz]

I think I found the problem, lets see if someone can help me. Like I stated I believe the problem is with the password. CINGULAR1 is a nine digit password. I keep entering CINGULAR1, I hit done. It backs me out and I re entered MEdia Net I always have a 16 digit password. If I blank it out and hit done when I re enter it will stay blank? Can something be done?
