The T-Mobile guide is written for a device still using a T-Mobile ROM which is why it doesn't seem to make sense when you're using WM6.

I have an MDA and I've also had issues getting MMS to work under any WM6 ROM I've tried so far.

If anyone has any suggestions...

The TMobile Settings Guide in that link WILL still work. I am running Faria's WM6 ROM (quite happily I might add), just did the TMo settings myself on my CID unlocked TMo MDA about half an hour ago and MMS is now working again.

Just do EXACTLY what the directions say and your MMS will work again.

I have to ask since I had the same problem at first...

Did you try a manual power cycle (not pressing the soft reset button on the side or a software soft reset but actually pressing the power button for 3 seconds, letting it sit off for a few seconds and turning it back on)?

I found that with the Faria ROM, to get some changes to "stick" you have to power cycle your MDA after each and every change. Takes a while and it's a PITA, but it has solved 99% of the problems that I was having with the ROM.

If you HAVE done that already, then I dunno what to tell you guys...my condolences? JK but there has to be a permanent fix or a CAB out there somewhere...

Well, I hadn't tried the full reset was just doing a soft reset. Tried it and still same. I don't know what the issue is....lot of people are not able to send MMS. Text messaging works fine. I'll just keep trying to mess with it and hope someone finds a solution before I do.

I finally remembered what the "deal" is... the MMS instructions for TMobile has a minor error:216.155.165.050 should be:216.155.165.50

Note the lack of the zero before the .50

Give it a whirl, let me know.

PS I added it to the Wiki for the next time I forget how to fix it.

Hmmm... I'll have to give that a shot. I've been using the 050 per the steps and all it would do when I tried to send a test MMS was move the message to the drafts folder and never send it.

I've got the normal T-Mobile ROM on my MDA right now and I plan on flashing it over to the Faria ROM later on today.

I'll post the results when I'm able to test it.

Default .50 NOT .050 : BUT Crossbow receives SMALL MMS pictures

I agree. I ran into the same problem with my very first Crossbow rom. Changing the server gateway is 216.155.165.50

NOTE it ends in .50 not .050 . This worked for me


BIG problem with crossbow roms right now: Receiving pictures messages are VERY small. They will be downsized to 160x120 and less than 15kb. 'til this day i still haven't figured out how to fix that. At first i thought it was the Arcsoft registry settings, but i have meddled through the arcsoft registry settings so many times. I think there is something else in the crossbow roms that is capping the receiving size. I have set all receiving registry settings to receive pictures in their original form or 640x480, but they still keep coming at 160x120. You can test this by sending a picture to yourself (note its size before sending it) or having someone else send you a picture. Good luck!

Default Hot Diggity Dawg!!

It worked like a charm. Sweeeet! Thanks for the help. I didn't even think about the server being wrong, I figured T-Mobile knew what they were doing. Guess not. XDA Dev got 'em beat.
