NOTE: I notice that it changed the appearance of several setting's screens in regards to the Connections tab.
It worked for me. It might also work for other providers, Let me know...
Please include in your response:
-Manufacture and type
-Model No.
-Rom Version
Example:
Cingular 8525
HERM100
(20070326_RUU_Hermes_WWE_3.23.0.2_1.38.00.10)

Running a Cingular 8525/Herm100 on Black 2.0. On all WM6 ROM's I have been able to send and receive, it just gives me an 'error synchronizing' message whenever I try and do it manually. Everything eventually goes where it is supposed to though.
Was hoping this would fix that, but still works the same.

using wm6 black 2 on telstra australia with latest radio. worked on all accounts including lvsms.
so no "problem" here (once i got the settings and manually entered them, tweaked around and learned the hard way with hours of work).

My 8525 also works perfect sending and recieving MMS I have entered the Server settings so many times now i know them by heart sometimes i do have to play with the settings either changinf the port number from 80 to 8080 and changing it to use the internet or My ISP to send them.

I too suffered from the Sync Error message and could not get MMS to work. But I ran the CAB posted at the top of this thread and it now works. I tried everything and every setting that was mentioned, I tried every cab file and every fix I could find. (I know the settings by heart) Now for the big new, once I ran the cab the only thing that I could see that it changed was the last setting of kb's. Before the cab and what everyone said to set it at was 300 but after the cab it is now set at 600. I don't know if this is the change that fixed everything or not but I can tell you that now my MMS does work on my Cingular 8525 running the latest LVSW/26.

can someone please help with 3 Australia MMS settings.
Ive entered them all in, changed the user agent for arcsoft MMS software in the registry and i still cant get them to send or recieve with success & i get the error sync message too.
can anyone help me find the missing link???

Black 2.0

FWIW, I discovered I was having a problem with sending MMS today. I upgraded to Black 2.0 a couple of weeks ago, but I don't typically use MMS, and so I never discovered this problem before. I found this thread thru Google, and dowloaded the cabfile noted at the top. But I didn't install it. Instead, I took some hints from the name.
On my phone, I had already set up two non-proxied ISP accounts on my 8525 ... wap.cingular and isp.cingular. Of course, I also have the MediaNet Account that uses the proxy. I typically have my phone parked on the ISP account, and that's where I was having this problem.
Looking at the name of this cabfile, I decided to try the MediaNet (proxy) Account next. That wouldn't work either, failing continuously. So then I set my phone to use the wap.cingular (no proxy) account, and bingo, it worked.
As Owycx has noted in the second post (above), I DID get the "Error Synchronizing" message, but this message quickly disappeared and the MMS Message was sent out pronto.
So to those (Cingular) users who might be having this problem, you might be able to fix it without installing the cab ... just make sure you're using the following "Connections" settings:
Code:
Name: [whatever you like]
Modem: [B][U]Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)[/U][/B]
«Next»
Access point name: [B][U]wap.cingular[/U][ /B]
«Next»
User name: [B][U][email protected] .COM[/U][/B]
Password: [B][U]CINGULAR1[/U][/B]
Domain: [blank]
«Advanced...»
«TCP/IP Tab»
(o) Use server-assigned IP address
( ) Use specific IP address
[ . . . ]
[ ] Use slip
[ ] Use software compression
[X] Use IP header compression
«Servers Tab»
(o) Use server-assigned addresses
( ) Use specific server address

Hope this helps,

Also what i have found that helps is go to settings> connetions> connections> advanced> select networks> make sure that the bottom matches the top setting that way it wont be switching networks for different things.
My MMS server is as follows.
Server name:
Cingular MMS
Gateway:
wireless.cingular.com
Port number:
8080
Server Address:
mmsc.cingular.com
Connect via:
My Isp(or what ever you set the name as in your connections)
Sending Size limite:
300K
Wap version:
WAP 2.0
these settings ALWAYS work for me. I never use the proxy settings that come with the cab for cingular for media net. even though i guess i loose some size of the message i can send from 600K to 300K its no biggy to me.

MMS on wm6

where is the mms folder for mms on wm6.I can't find it!!!

It isn't enabled by default, but the installation file is in the Windows folder.
Open Windows and look for HTC_set.cab , tapping which installs the MMS folders in Messaging.
There is also an HTC_List.cab file, which adds a list of operator settings to the MMS Server settings, but I found the Orange ones didn't work, though using the Settings file via the HTC Website's WM5 ROM update page worked OK.

thakns a lot
i will try

Don't have it in Windows
Can somebody post the cab file please?

MMS ON wm6
I dont find it!

Some of the later WM6 ROM's have MMS integrated into the SMS folder
- have you looked there?

Just go to a picture and select send as...mms will show up and it will send. Do not know why they include sms and mms together. But as long as you downloaded the correct settings for your network, mms will work.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"yes. it's now hidden. just start to create a new mms message, and you have the option to configure the mss setting under 'menu', 'option', 'message option'."

Hello,
please, can someone upload the HTC_set.cab-file or provide information how I can enable mms support manually?
thank you,

again, more details please, what flavour did you install as I remember the lite ones don't include MMS software like arcsoft, which you have to download and install.

also some mms versions don't have a new category, then you can find the MMS in SMS

The rom is the full version, I installed Arcsoft 4.2 as this has the seperate mms/sms folders but still nothing on my phone!

Did you rerun "Connection Setup" after installing Arcsoft? Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Connection Setup. It will properly set your MMS settings for your carrier.

yo kid,do you actually have mms in your message centre when you press the message button or select messages/mail?if so then select mms then menu-tools-options,select mms and edit the default setting or if you wish create new one.your settings will most likely be here-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299023&highlight=stevieboy
otherwise run the connection wizard as suggested.

mms on 6.1

im using a variant of windown mobile 6.1 that doesnt seem to have mms with the text messages option, is there a cab file that i can use to install mms

Device Update
U need Arcsoft MMS
i've uploaded the device update.
install the cab file and download the software u need..
u shud get a hold of HTC connection wizard which automatically configures your connection.. great application
and download arcsoftmms too.
but u have to configure the mms options in the messaging menu and choose the server.
the connection wizard might configured the server for you. or you have to create a new one manually according to your telco.

thank you!

no problem buddy.
just come back to update your status

im back lol, arcsoft mms is totally configured, but i only see an mms sending option, how exactly do i receive mmses?

go to your message box click on the menu and into MMS options.
go to the servers tab.
you should see your operator server there if u had the HTC connection wizard ran.
just set the settings to default.
if the settings isnt there, u'll have to configure the settings manually. try search for the operator settings on google by typing "operator name" mms server settings.
that shud help

Am I doing something wrong or is this Arcsoft MMS removed from the Device Update Database?
Where should we get it now?

is it? it should be there.
did u installl arcsoft mms in your device already? maybe u could try searching for the cab files.

I am sorry for my very late response. I still can't find the program in Device Update. I've tried to search for a .cab but this is like warez because normally it is baked into the ROM, I have a lite ROM now without MMS app. I don't think this is why MMS app is not listed because I have had a ROM before without MMS (at least I think), then MMS was listed in DU.
Kind of confusion to me.

I just checked and it is listed under system.

Getting more strange now:
Device Update:
Error loading catalog.
Check Internet Connectivity and try again
Nothing changed and wifi is working for all other progs.

So dont use it! if it dont works, is not the only way to get it... Btw the topic is mms on 6.1 no CRCDU issues.
Come on boys
use the search option upper right corner from XDA bar....
ARCSOFT MMS COMPOSSER...

Yes totally offtopic, I am sorry for that. The problem was client side by the way. I did a hardreset and internet is working correctly now. But...more strange: all of a sudden ArcSoft MMS Composer 4.2.8.1 is installed...must be something wrong with the original install...
Well...my case fixed. Other persons will manage with the search tags + Que PPC gave haha.
