**POOF** MMS has vanished!!

A very strange thing has happened.
I noticed today that all things MMS have disapeared from my phone.
When i go into messaging all it has is TXT messages and Outlook E-Email.
Where did my MMS stuff go you ask... good question.
I know it was there after i flashed my rom, but i dont' konw how long it has been missing for now. I only found out today as someone tried to send me an MMS.
All the cab files I can find seem to only be for inputing the settings, which is kind of useless given that fact that I can't see any MMS stuff.
Have i just overlooked something is there a setting that will just turn my MMS back on.
MMMMMMMM could it be that simple.
Thanks for the help.

Did you NOT try to back up with SKTools?

Same here, no more MMS entries in the messaging app??
I don't use MMS so frequent, so I didn't notice it until I checked now
So, it's not a real problem for me, just wanted to report it.
I'm running a german rom, cooked with the rom kitchen by bepe.
radio rom 1.40.
Raist

I cannot send MMS at all ...with a correct config (addhoc GPRS connection and server profile in arc soft). don't know why...
LVSW 8/4 ..GPRS switch to correct profile icone indicate sending but never finnish...

Same here too. I've received a MMS Notice, but unable to download ( authorisation failure), I've tried to send an MMS to myself but unable to ( staying in the Outbox all the time). I've config the MMS setup according to info based from this forum, Optus cabm and other sites (MTEKK), But still not working ...

MMS OK

I am running BE 2.0 with Optus and MMS is working fine. Did you use Walshieau operator settings cab? It has the Optus settings. You may need to edit the MMS server settings so check them after you have run the cab.

Guys we are getting off topic.
This post is NOT about MMS settings or Send/Receive problems there are stacks of threads that talk about that. Please go and post there.
This topic is about missing the MMS module all togeather.

I do have a full backup of the Phone with SBP but it was done after the MMS module disapeared, so probably no good.
Is there anyone that might be able to shed some light on this problem.
Cheers
That being said

Sorry to be a pain..
Does anyone have any idea how to get back my missing MMS module.
I would like to avoid having to hard reset my device if i could.
Thanks again.
Travis

yeah u get that. tings r tuff all round. it happens.
try any one or more of the following
reinstall your cab file.
try to add a new from scratch and input it all from start.
hard reset ur device n rebuild
search for the create link cab file and it might re establish
restore from a previous backup
one of these will definitely fix it. suggest to prevent future occurances
be gentle to ur device
stroke it regularly
give it some gentle words occassionally
dont drop your device
dont get it wet
dont yell at it
buy it flowers occassionally
oooohhhh and yeah use backup software so you can just restore the system and move on without wasting peoples time whinging complaing and moaning over minor infrequent and incidental stuff

Thanks, do you konw where to find the cab file for Vodafone Australia.
I had a look at the provider cabs on the Wiki but it was not there.
Can you tell me where i can get it from.
I can't add a new one because i can't access the MMS settings as it is completely missing.
Other options are a last resort.
Cheers and thanks
Travis

wm 6.1 and mms?

hey guys, i recently installed TNT WM6.1 and the rom is just outstanding. I have only one problem and im sure that it is in no way the fault of the cooker. I am using an unlocked 8525 for tmobile and i cant get any picture messages. being that my gf is away for spring break, this is very important lol anyway to the best of what i can see the settings for mms are correct but still nothing. and the Send/Receive option is greyed out. I tried sending a pic message to my brother who is using a Wing also with 6.1 and he didnt recieve it either. any ideas? thanks in advance

The new TNT 6.1 ROM uses a newer version of arcsoft and apparently MMS don't work cause it didn't for me either.
Either install the clean version and use a different version of arcsoft or install another ROM. Oh and any pics you may have missed just may be gone since when I switched and now have working MMS none of the ones sent before came through.
I assume the network thought it already sent them.

is there any way to just install the old version of arcsoft without reflashing the rom?

All you can really do I suppose is try it I guess but I doubt it will work. I really didn't mess with it too much as I needed MMS to work and was having other issues as well..
You need to get your priorities straight bud your gf is on spring break and right now you can't receive pics!!!!!!! but hey I'm willing to help you out just have her send all the pics to my phone and I'll save them for you and when you do get MMS working then I'll send them to you

lol my hermes comes first, she knows that

Would recommend reflashing to get MMS working again. Think this a problem with a few WM6.1 ROM's so check threads for reoccurring problem's.
If your hermes comes first, get her to forward her photo's to me as my MMS works just fine!!!

See also this tread

I think it depends on the settings. I used to receive MMS in 6.1, but I think I used the arcsoft 4.0 version (not too sure.) Anyhow, check to see if the settings are right. I am using AT&T medianet to connect to MMS, and here is what worked!
Menu->Option->MMS->Servers->AT&T or Cingular MMS->Connect Via->The Internet
Last step is the key. Hope this helps!

AT&T Compatible WM6.1?

I've searched for 8525 roms that have 6.1, and each one that I've tried cannot send SMS or MMS on AT&T's network. It is also impossible to set up their media server with these roms. Does anyone know of a 6.1 rom that I can flash that will retain full AT&T functionality? Thanks!

Ian
I have been searching for the same thing. I am able to send MMS but not receive it and when I hit the send/receive button in MMS I get an syncronization error. I have proxy set up and enabled as well as all Media Net settings for AT&T. For now I have been using wm6 by VP3G on my main 8525 Phone

I am a ATT user. The rom I am using is PDAVIET 19400 build. I also intalled arcsoft mms composer version 5-0-31-11 and i have not had any problems with MMS. For some reason, I cant upload cabs. Also my radio is ver. 1.54.31.10. I am in washington st. Hopefully this helps. Also seach for shogun_cing cab. Its the att settings i am using that worked for me..

Read post #168 in this thread. Install that program and you can use it to get your network settings for any rom.

I also use ShogunMark's cab...

Dr. Puttingham,
I'm using your 6.1 ROM with shogun_cing.cab, and I'm still unable to send or receive MMSs. I've adjusted all the server settings to AT&T's specs, but nothing is working. SMS works, and after I changed the keyboard layout, everything seems to be fine otherwise. Suggestions?

I've tried several of the 6.1 roms also. I really liked ShadoW's a lot. But I've had "some" difficulties with ATT related settings in them. Different things wouldn't work on different builds. MMS, SMS, even had a problem with MobiTV working at times.
I've went back to VP3G's last 6.0 build and everything works great. No problems at all with anything. I'll stay with his until someone can get a 6.1 ATT rom to be as stable and work as flawlessly as VP3G's 6.0.

I can send/receive SMS and MMS fine with Pays 3.00 ROM.

Have you tried to install a arcsoft cab? Also try giving ATT a call too and make sure its not something on thier side. Also take a look at your settings under mms menu/mms options/servers and click the server that is lighted and see if everything is correct.
Mine shows
Server name:
AT&T MMS
Gateway:
wireless.cingular.com
Port: 80
Server address:
http://mmsc.cingular.com
Connect via:
Media Net. Note this is a drop down panel with different options to use.
Send limit: 600K
Hope this helps..

he make a good point. last month ATT disabled my SMS MMS DATA capabilities without informing me. after i called they said i signed up for media net and they revised they billing policies and my phone make and model is restricted from the affordable media net packages and i must sign up for more expensive separate data and txt plans.

I've got the "incredibly awesome" plan that has unlimited messaging, data, etc. In fact, I just rick rolled some dude through a MMS on the 5th, so I know I have the capability. As for the server settings, that was the first thing I corrected. The first time I flashed Puttingham's rom, it didn't have the option of adding MEdia Net as a server, so I had to flash back to the stock WM6 rom. I haven't tried arcsoft yet, I'll give it a try today. With that said, the feature that I like most about 6.1 so far is the threaded SMS. If I can add that to my existing HTC WM6, that would be awesome. No, the Palm SMS doesn't work for me. If I can get the 6.1 threaded SMS without the rest of 6.1, I would be happy. Any ideas?

how is my att 8525 different then yours almost all roms run perfectly

So helpful, thank you.

I had this issue for a while too and fixed it by resetting up the MMS with arcsoft but I think you can also use a cingular config cab (which I now have on my storage card) but I did notice every now and then the MMS will stop working and I will have to reset it. Its a little annoying the first time you find out its not working but very easy to fix.

I'm unable to find Arcsoft. Every time I look for it, all I find are threads complaining about it. Regarding the cingular cab, if I give you my email, can you send it to me?

I can use MMS and SMS with Pays and Shogun_cing. Thanks for the heads up. If anything else pops up, I'll be sure to whine about it.
I do have one issue with every rom I've tried: The inability to manually set email specs. If I have gmail, it comes up as a POP3 account, when it should be an IMAP4 account, and the discrepancy causes issues with the email servers...

After many different roms and settings, I've found that all have at least one fatal flaw. One might not support MMS, another won't support Windows Mobile Device Center, another won't let me configure my email properly. Another, even though it has "big storage" will flash the "critically low memory" alert after I install one program. I'm back to my stock WM6 that is reliable. There are so many people that are so willing to make a rom that is flashy, fast, or have cool features, but I have yet to see a rom that does everything correctly. With that said, I had a lot of fun trying figure things out, and I appreciate all the hard work of those that put time and effort into cooking roms. I also appreciate all the helpful suggestions from everyone in this thread. Now I have a legitimate excuse to upgrade to the Tilt. Thanks!

I have been using Faria R-32.....all mms sms and internet and email work perfectly.

I agree with Ian. All the 6.1 roms are great! And the folks that cook them for us are awesome too! But I was finding the same thing. Each rom had a different problem for me. I think its a matter of preference. Just like everyone uses a different radio rom. I think your geographical location plays a big roll in how well a rom works for you. Just like radio roms operate differently throughout the country. I know that one radio rom doesn't work as well for me as it does for someone else in a different part of the country.
So you have to try it and just see how it works for you. It may work better for you then it did someone else. That's why I don't judge roms so harshly because although it didn't work that well for me it might be great for someone else or vise-versa.

MMS Issues, please help!

I know, I know... search... well it hasnt worked for me. Im always trying out new roms, but I have noticed that more than half of them do not have mms under messages... there is no way to set them up... so I finally realized that I can download arcsoft mms which gives me access to putting in a gateway and port and all that. I am using the correct settings but for some reason it just isnt sending or recieving picture messages, i tinker with what its gonna use to connect with and still no use. I even tried the tmobijoe2999 app to use settings and apparently its not arcsoft friendly. I have a connection set up, internet explorer and opera work great I just wish that there was some sort of cab out there that every time I flash to a new rom, I could just have the mms settings working... any help? Ive gotten it to connect and just stay at 0%, ive had it go to 100% with confirmation but the person didnt recieve the message I am not very regedit friendly but please help me out.
Thanks!
Jake
P.S. Oh, and at the moment, im using CRC's 14.1 rom

Still not enough information
CRC's there is 3 versions, which one did you download?
Where are you located, and what is your device exactly? Carrier settings may not be correct.

Im located in Flagstaff, using a cingulair 8525 with tmobile. and I am using the Normal version of the rom.
it appears ive got the correct settings from the network wizard, it is now sending the message 100%. when I send a mms to myself, it goes through, but I ever recieve it.

i believe you better off asking this sort of questions on his thread. I am sure I seen somewhere the cab/settings for it.

alright, thank you for your help. if anyone out there is cool and they have tmobile and want to make a cab that has all the correct reg settings for data and mms, that would rock my world. Thanks again!!!

Actually, I just flashed my phone 4 times to 4 different roms, and each time after it customized and loaded up i pushed the envelope and all it had was text messages and setup email. I think something may be erased from my registry? and im using the 2.1 bootloader if that helps...

Connection Setup.cab?

Does anyone have this for the T-Mobile Dash?

i can really use it as well please

After reading this thread I was almost ready to start making a cab for it.. but then I though.. .is it REAAAALLY that hard for you guys to setup your connection after your install a ROM ?

Haha they could use my sig to go to the t-mobile site and have their connections setup... it takes literally like 5 minutes to do... and it is step by step instructions...
And for all you the link is called "T-MOBILE FIX ANY MMS ISSUES (SENDING OR RECEIVING), FIX INTERNET PROBLEMS, E-MAIL, ETC. CLICK HERE"

cant someone just make a T-MOBILE FIX ANY MMS ISSUES (SENDING OR RECEIVING), FIX INTERNET PROBLEMS, E-MAIL, ETC. CLICK HERE.cab

But i'm using NRGZ's Lite ROM and it does not have connection setup.cab and it doesn't have what your guide ask for. I don't have advanced at the GPRS step.

T-mobile fix any mms issues (sending or receiving)
Could it be that because i'm using Ricky & Stylez Rose rom V1.7 ? Because I reset my phone last night and redid everything(again),then sent an mms to myself and to my wife and it showed that it was sending but we never got the mms. I know that sometimes it takes a while but 20 hrs. seems a little to long. If anyone knows of anything i'm doing wrong please let me know. I've tryed every post i've seen up to this point and none have worked. Thanx in advance.

first off, I have just used the "connection setup" on the girlfriends Dash and hers works fine- not to say it will definitely work for everyone but worked for me...multiple times in the past and recently.
the one thing that doesn't work...ever...is the send/receive button. It always ends in "error synchronizing" -If that is what is failing it is normal. Just send a test pic, and then try to get someone to send you one. Make sure they are on Tmobile to get a speedy transaction- I have had MMS to other carriers take a few hours before.

Oh yah sometimes they do take a long time for real.

MMS-Error Syncing
I am using the vanilla V24 rom on my T-Mobile Dash and have manually setup all the settings that I could find regarding ToMo WEB, T-Mo Zone, T-Mo VNC, and T-Mo MMS. I have successfully sent and receiving SMS. But MMS does not work. I receive Error Syncing everytime and have waited for over 3 days to receive. I can not offer any solutions, But can offer an alternative. If you have the T-Mobile Total Internet Package, you can setup an email account, i.e. gmail and use that.

mms problem solved
The cure was easier than i thought. Went to t-mo web site and loaded 6.o. No more issues with picture messaging,web or anything else for that matter.
