[paraven31]

[rilbel]

Use the search function buddy. If you made a bit more research when flashing, you would have seen also guides to fix those issues. There is like 48672 threads a day for these things.... I mean, why can't people follow the rules. I did, why can't others. :rolleyes::mad:

[phatmanxxl]

If I could get a quarter for every MMS thread posted...

[paraven31]

i have read throught so many threads and could not find the answer that is y i posted a thread im sorry but i would like to find the answer

[EternalSoil]

I searched a whole bunch and nothing i found worked. i had to piece things together to make it work...

let me know if you use t-mobile and i'll let you know what all my setting are so you can mirror them.

[rilbel]

Use Google people. In these cases its your best friend. First of all, in this very site I found lots of T-Mobile .cabs for MMS issues and what not. Second of all, you need to go to Connection Setup and create an MMS Connection. I don't recall the numbers and stuff but it is very easy to find anywhere here on Google. :cool::mad:

[EternalSoil]

It's not that simple for everyone man...

I had a hard time getting it to work. I couldnt just do what the stuff said.

[rilbel]

I am sorry dude, I just think that if a noob like me could have done it, anyone can. And some people really do not even try the search option. Did it work? :)

[EternalSoil]

I am not saying it is really hard to do. but for myself, and obviously at least one other person, it doesnt work with the standard settings. i did the same as he did; searched and tried over and over, then called t-mobile, still nothing.
Although my situation may have been a little different because i wanted to have my MMS, my email, SMS, and the $5.99 internet hack. i finally messed with it enough to where i started to understand how it worked, then came up with a solution. i would post it now but I'm on my phone in class.
I'm not trying to moderate, but please dont jump in a post and be assholes to people who said they searched, tried, and called their carrier with no positive results.

[rilbel]

:eek::rolleyes:

We are not being assholes, but these issues have been dealt before many times, and there are tons of people who open at least 4 to 5 threads about them weekly. A bit of search here and on Google would answer pretty much everyone's problems. Its not like your phone is different. T-Mobile, don't know who you spoke to, but they should have simply told you to look at their web Configurator page which is this... http://tmobileuspublic.wdsglobal.com/phonefirst and you can just click in the info and get... this.. http://tmobileuspublic.wdsglobal.com/mms?ispId=&mmsId=&wapId=&contractId=235&countryId=37&networkId=90&bearerId=5&phoneId=1521&manufacturerId=9&mobileNumber=&incomingServerId=


So, don't know about you, but I can assure you many don't even bother looking up anything and they say they do... already on Google man...

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=t-mobile+mms+setting&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&oq=

I rest my case. Hopefully you solved your problems. :)

[EternalSoil]

Skip down if you just want the informative part of this post and not my bitching.

I don't think he should have started a new thread on this subject, please don't think I support or encourage duplicate threads, they are actually a pain in the ass to sift through. He should have tacked onto another like you did when you were having the problems. I don't know about him, but I guess some people not used to how forums work may not realize that when you post in a thread it goes to the very top. Regardless, unless a moderator decides to delete the thread, I personally don't think we need a bunch of people taking the time to tell him to search, but not go that little extra step and link him to a thread. Also, try typing in "MMS" into the forum search, it's interesting. I didn't mean to come off as a jerk or anything, I just get a little upset when things like this happen on forums. Maybe I need to talk to people face-to-face rather than using an electronic medium all the time.


Now! For the goods!

As far as why the settings I got to solve this did not work on my phone, I don't know. It's still weird to me because I have T-Mobile just like them and theirs is fine.

Every time I tried those settings, whether I found them on here, T-Mobile, or elsewhere, I could receive only 1 MMS message, send as many as I wanted, but receive no more.

I started from scratch several times too, just to make sure I wasn't missing something, or had something I shouldn't. Still, it wasn't working.

I eventually came up with a solution on my own. It may have something extra that may not be needed, but it works and I don't want to mess with it!

Just in case it matters; I am using Kavana 080408 remade by Ricky. V24 Vanilla.

Here are the settings I currently have:

Also, when you are in the MMS>Options>Account Settings part, I read the first checked entry which says "Automatic download in home & roaming network." When I reread it, it made me think that it wont automatically download in the home network, not just when roaming; but I could be wrong.


Well, I hopes that helped you out! Let me know if that doesn't work. Those are my only settings, not just the ones I made. I deleted the ones T-Mobile puts in when you use the Connection Wizard thing.

Also, again, sorry if I was being a dick.

Also, again, sorry if I was being a dick.
If you look up MMS here you won't get anything. I know, its weird. :)
I suggest you use Google first. They usually will redirect you to XDA threads anyway.

The 8080 trick, as far as I know, doesn't work anymore. T-Mobile found out a while back and closed it. The only thing you can do now is ask them for the $5.99 T-Zones but you should call from a non PDA phone (they know by the IMEI when you call which phone you have. Its insane, they got like a huge database of all IMEI's or something). But if they find out, they will switch you to the 19.99 or 34.99 deal. So be careful.

Well, it seems you managed to change your GPRS (and not GRPS) ;) settings as I suggested and it seems to work, so good luck.

Apart from the appaling writing skills, I suggest you calm down and buy some maturity from people like EternalSoil. :)

The things I posted here are the same posted by other people much more knowledgeable (even though for something like this you don't need to know how to cook roms) than me. Also, I don't know which carrier you have since you never told us 'til now, but the principles are the same. If you have AT&T or vodafone or immix, the settings are the same, the only thing that you will have to look for is "MMS Setting for <your carrier>". Its this not using the brain at full potential that I don't appreciate, not people asking after true searching. :)

I went on Google just now, typed in immix settings, saw a Nokia 6200 settings doc... I said, let's try it and... voila'... Sure, you will have to use your brain a bit, but the info you need is all right here. 5 minutes buddy. :)

The forum search will only search on 4 letters or more "just to cleat that up" :)

You can always use the google assisted search as things like mms settings wont differ from phone to phone.

OP: Glad you got it sorted.

[EternalSoil]

Good to know you got it sorted out OP.

I have had the $5.99 plan for almost 2 years now. The 8080 thing still works I assume, cause all my stuff works just fine.

As far as search goes; it's good to know the forum search will only do 4+ letters. I don't know why I prefer the forums search, I just do =/

[rilbel]

If you have the 5.99 thing, THAT's why it works. The 8080 port was a glitch of T-Mobile for those who didn't even have the T-Zones 5.99. :)

[thenikeman]

Thanks for the write up EternalSoil...I am in the same boat as you were. Tried every setting under the roof, MMS would work 1-2 times OK, then I would never receive any more (but could send all the time). I too am using the $5.99 plan. Internet works just fine, it's just the dang MMS. If I reboot, occasionally I will get 1 or so to come through but that's it. I have tried about every ROM out there (just flashed to NRG 1.4 last night) to see if that would make a difference.

Prior to entering in all your settings, did you run the Connection Setup program, then delete all the entries?

Can you outline your exact settings in the MMSC preferences? I just want to try and match this up identically w/ someone else to see if I can get this to work. If you have any other thoughts please let me know.

Thanks!

[EternalSoil]

Yes, I did run the connection manager. It added some proxies, or GRPS settings or something. I deleted everything that was in any of those, then entered the stuff I posted before.

Hope that works for you man, let me know if you need more info.

[thenikeman]

Thanks for the settings...matched them exactly and still having issues. Do you mind telling me what you have on the Settings > Connections > Menu button > Advanced page?

Thanks man, hope to get this soon!

[thenikeman]

From another thread I posted in too:

Mine is doing the same thing..Tmobile..reflashed last night to Kavana, manually put in all settings (mms / proxy). Phone sends MMS fine but will not receive them. Phone lights up when receiving MMS but never comes through. I will manually send/receive, and occasionally I see the envelope flash up with the down arrow, but it usually does nothing after that point...
----
I am also getting an 'Info' alert - Unable to receive your message(s). Your message(s) notification(s) will remain in your Inbox. - Press OK.

[EternalSoil]

Thanks for the settings...matched them exactly and still having issues. Do you mind telling me what you have on the Settings > Connections > Menu button > Advanced page?

Thanks man, hope to get this soon!

everything is "automatic"

also, you said when you manually send/recieve it shows you the little envelope with the down arrow. it shouldnt do that. it should say "error synchronizing" because MMS doesnt work like email does. lady at t-mobile told me that. so, do you have everything working except your MMS? internet, phone calls, text, do you have email set up? also, you are on the $5.99 data plan right?

if all is true except your MMS doesnt work, try rechecing your settings, make sure you havethem all connecting to the correct things.

[thenikeman]

Thanks, things are better this morning thus far..after I reflashed to Kavana and entered all settings manually (did not run connection setup app though, which I usually do).

When I hit send/receive, I do get error synchronizing, but it seems to jump start the progress b/c right after that my envelope would pop-up and try to receive the MMS.

I am on the 5.99 plan and all that is working fine, only issue is receiving MMS. Time will tell though, sometimes it works for half a day and just abruptly stops. My settings yesterday did not have all set to "automatic" one of them was set to "internet". All are automatic on this ROM though..perhaps things will be fine now.

Will update if needed, thanks for all your help!
