htc desire a8183 mms and sms issues - Desire General

hey guys
I am having issues sending mms on att. its not going through at all and its telling me "message format corrupt" but its just a regular jpeg file. does anyone have the correct att mms settings? I thought it automatically configured it once I put in my sim card.
I am also having issues with sms. i would say about 50% of the time it wont go through on the first try and it will have to retry again. its really annoying and I have full reception.
any help would be appreciated.
edit: i forgot to add, I can rececive mms but not send.

Did you add your providers APN info, you have the A8381 World phone,
so you have to manual add AT&T APN and if that does not work call att and ask for there apn info you will need the following
Internet
WAP
MMS
look at these Youtube Video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmmNHiFDybo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwwTm9PpruI&feature=related

the apn were already set. It set them up automatically after I put in the sim card.
the internet and receiving mms works but not sending.
also im getting annoyed at the sms sending failure, it keeps on having to retry to send.

do you have a MMS setup in your Desire, that is weird my HTC i had to add the APN

yeah it set up the att apn for internet and mms called "media net".
a lot of phones have automatic set up of att, its a pretty big and popular network.

MMS Help & BT MMS Settings

Ok so I have been able to send and receive MMS fine for several weeks with Rogers and my HTC S621 with the new wm6 rom on it.
Worked for awhile with the tmobile rom and then stopped working before i changed rom.
So anyways whats happening now is I can send FINE but I cannot receive.
Finally got someone at rogers who seemed to know what they were talking about and they said that if I have my sim in another phone like a nokia that is supposed to send and receive then if their system updates and shows me with that and I put my sim back in my HTC then I can receive but if the system updates again showing me with a HTC S621 it will no longer accept the incoming.
There is nothing they can do to fix it... they said they were planning to release a rom with a fix for it but I dont want to wait for that so does anyone know a way around this?? is there a registry fix or something to allow me to keep getting them??
Thanks
Not only that,
Sorry to thread crap, but i was wondiering if any body had a how to on setting up on the NEW WM6 internet settings for rogers. I c ant seem to get it to wokr.
REgarding this MMS stuff, i was having similar issue where i could send MMS but not receive. I then realized that my friend had the same issue as well. I checked my online album and all the pictures were going there. I don't even receive notifications of my MMS messages being received by the other person. I worked with rogers tech support for nearly 2 hour2 with 4 different phones (rogers does not support MMS on HTC s621 or any other phone running windows mobile because they dont have an agreement with microsoft apparently). I could not even get my rogers razer to work, same issues. They kept telling me my account was fine. She then recommended i try a new sim card, which i did with no luck. I have yet to call back and let them know that im still having problems. Has anyone been experienceing similar issues?

I have the exact same issue. I can send but not receive. What do you have for your MMS settings?
Sorry, Rogers does not support MMS messages being received on the Excalibur.
The software they use does not have a profile for the device, so they make you log in to their website to view mms messages.
pain in the butt? YES.

On my Treo 750m I'm able too send and receive.
Here are The working settings for the htc s621
in connections create 2 profiles one called Rogers Internet with access point internet.com. the user name wapuser1 and password wap, leave everything else blank. Create another Rogers Media that connects to work, access point put media.com. The user name is media and password is mda01. Authentication as none and leave everything else blank. Then go to messages choose MMS and then 4Account settings, put a check on all except reject all messages and allow read report, number of attempts 4 and resolution original. Then press the menu and go to MMSC settings, create new profile. Name is Rogers MMS, MMSC url is http://mms.gprs.rogers.com, the wap gateway is10.128.1.69 with port:80. Connects via WORK and max setting 300k and WAP 2.0 press menu again and make Rogers MMs as the default and erase the other profile if there was one. Your all done but make sure also if you press from the main Start then settings then GPRS Authentication that its on PAP authentication
Tried that... doesn't work.
The MMS profile wont stay on "Work" for connects to...
MMS Probs after HTC Rom update?
since i upgraded to the htc rom yesterday, i noticed that my mms when receiving a pic, i get a "error synchronizing" when i try to hit menu and download message.. hopefully this has not been talked about already. HELP!!! I am on the t-mobile network..
I too am getting the same error message since flashing my dash to WM6 htc ROM...I still think the Robust Rom outweights the sms problem...however in a perfect world, we can have both...anyone else with the problem???
I meant to write those settings down before upgrading -- someone with a standard Dash might be able to post them. As with the wap.voicestream.com setup to get internet going, I believe there is additional configuration to be done before MMS will work right...?

I hate to do some cross-forum posting stuff, but PocketPC Addict has the settings for T-Mobile (a little Google goes a long way!). I learned that MMS and GPRS settings are not often sent by the carrier when I jammed my AT&T SIM card in there.
I find it funny that AT&T keeps all their settings for all their devices, yet T-Mobile doesn't, especially considering that T-Mobile is far more liberal when it comes to customer support (allowing people to bring their unlocked phones with them, unlocking phones after only three months of service, not charging extra for teathering, relatively cheap Internet rates, etc.)
thanks for the info, couldnt really find anything on that particular site, but i bookmarked anyways! looks like another great forum to relate too!! anyway who ever else still have a prob.. with mms (tmobile dash) since the htc upgrade, myself too found a site by googling it.. and here is the link.. it worked for me! good luck

MMS/SMS settings for cingular on unlocked/unbranded dash
I just got finished flashing my dash to the generic HTC ROM and I'm trying to find the procedure for putting the settings in for cingular. I tried following some that I found that aid to go to:
Start > Messaging > MMS > Menu/Settings > Menu/MMSC Settings
But the fields don't match up with the settings that the Cingular/AT&T site provides. For instance, there's no username/password settings on the dash in this location.
Anyone have a working set of instructions/settings for the new AT&T/Cingular?
I do NOT have a data plan, nor do I want to use MediaNET, etc. I just want to use WiFi and MMS. (WiFi works fine.)
*sigh* I spent 2 hours looking and looking.. then, imediately after posting this, I find it. Well, at least this may help the next poor soul looking for it.
This is for another device, but the instructions are exactly the same.
For pretty screenshots go to:
https://www.wireless.att.com/support/deviceConfig.do?content=KB69475.html
1. From the home screen, press Start and select Messaging.
2. Scroll to and select MMS.
3. Select Menu.
4. Scroll to and select Options.
5. Scroll to and select Account Options. (mine said 'Account Settings')
6. Scroll to and select MMS.
7. Select Menu.
8. Scroll to and select MMSC Settings.
9. With "Cingular MMS" highlighted, select Edit.
10. Validate the following: (Edit existing or Add)
* Name: Cingular MMS
* MMSC URL: http://mmsc.cingular.com
* WAP Gateway: wireless.cingular.com
* Port: 80
* Connect Via: The Internet
* Max. Sending Size: 300K
* WAP Version: WAP 2.0
11. Select Done.
finally! mms settings just copy from blackjack ATT
find the mms settings for your dash/att at att website. go to support select the BLACKJACK and copy the settings. lol SO funny i was looking and looking and looking everyone had a different flavor. but when i tried this setting it worked instantly. GO right to good old AT&T/support/blackjack/mms settings.
MDA MAIL (T-Mobile DASH) (HTC S620) - Internet Gprs, MMS Settings and WIFI Problem
Guys,
I have been reading all of the threads on this forum and i am glad that you are solving almost all the problems that ppl occurred while using the dash.
I have the T-mobile MDA Mail europe and i love the phone but there is no wifi. In order to get the wifi i installed new ROM (thanks to this forum) and now I have the newest ROM but i still dont have wifi. I asked the chief of T-mobile service in my country how can i solve this and he said the actually T-mobile Europe is ordering this phone in HTC without the WIFI antenna. I was amazed and dissapointed. They are sooooo ****ing gay coz they want us to use their gprs as only internet access.
However, After the installation of the official HTC WM6 ROM (i hated the t-mobile rom), I cant use even the GPRS. Can set the settings by myself. Can you please help me? There are no hints on the official t-mobile site.
Thanks in advance

not receiving mms via T-Mobile

Hi all,
Been loving the Desire so far but this evening I got an mms from a friend, presumably showing me his own new Desire, and while the messaging app shows an unread message waiting it doesn't seem to want to download it.
The picture messaging settings seem accurate in the network settings so I'm at a loss as to what's up. This is all via T-Mobile, as per the subject, and everything configured itself when I put the sim in.
Any ideas?
I'm on t-mobile and receive and send mms mostly okay but there have been occasions where my mms wouldn't send at all. tried a different picture and it worked. I've had problems with mms and t-mobile on my iPhone before I got my Desire so I think it's a problem with t-mobile not the Desire?

You need to enable mms for you account, they are not included in the contract and thus you need to activate them online or by contacting them if it doesn't activate when you receive or send an mms.
All good suggestions, thanks.
I checked my account online and it's set to allow picture messages. I also just sent a picture to a friend, which arrived fine. I did notice that it disconnected from the net both before and after sending, so I'm thinking it's using different settings to send them.
Under Settings/Wireless & Networks/Mobile Networks/Access Point Names it does actually show two connections. One called T-Mobile Internet and one called Picture Message.
They're both very similar, except the T-Mobile Internet has no username/password set and no MMS server details. Also the APN type is set to "default" and "mms" respectively. Wondering if I should try combining the two...
Fake Edit: I just asked the same friend to send me a message back and this time it worked. Guess I just need to keep trying every once in a while to see if it happens again.
T-Mobile accounts generally are enabled for MMS to begin with, but to finalise the settings and actually activate it, you have to SEND an MMS. This activates the service.
Once you have done that, you can then normally receive.
if you hadn't sent an MMS before this, that is probably why.
Yeah that could be it, too; although I'm sure I'd sent MMS messages on my Touch HD before (same SIM). Ah well, it seems to be working for now at least! Thanks again all.
If you're using Handcent for sms / mms, that might also cause your issues...

MMS problems?

Does anyone have MMS problems? At times I have trouble receiving and sending.
I use ChompSMS and I turn off my Wi-Fi everytime I have to send something out but it sometimes doesn't send at all..
Try going into the APN settings and do a rest to default APN (even if the APN is correct).
I had a hard time sending receiving MMS when I first got the phone, after the reset it work fine.
IF that don't work call T-mobile

MMS not working after switching to cricket

After getting the new push mms apn settings everything works and I'm getting lte but i can't send our receive mms.
I had the same issue when I got my new sim card. I still had to add the apn. Google Cricket mms apn and click the the main link to crickets support
My MMS would work sporadically. I tried changing the APNs to use actual IP address numbers rather than the "names". Nothing worked. Finally, I noticed that sometime my browser would not work when my MMS did not work even though I was connected with LTE data. On a hunch, I changed my mobile data to use "GSM.WCDMA" as the preferred network mode (rather than the LTE auto one). This seems to have cleared up the MMS issues for my phone. Hope this helps some one...

XZ2 SO-05K docomo MMS not working

I have received an XZ2 compact docomo from Aliexpress and am trying to get it sorted out.
I pretty much have everything usable on it now except for sending MMS messages. I have manually set up the mms access point as per Optus instructions, but still not working. When I first added the access point I had a choice between the internet access point and the mms point and I could send MMS messages but had no internet. I have tried all sorts of configurations and cannot get MMS to work again. Anyone who has been through this before and can guide me in the right direction would be very welcome.

I managed to get the MMS to work, but not quite at the moment. By using my carrier's settings in an APN for MMS, for the APN type, I put in "default,supl,mms" and I have to select that APN and MMS can send and receive, but there is no mobile data or internet. My carrier settings are for the APN type to be "mms", but that will not work and MMS will not send and receive, also the select dot for the APN you can choose from is not there when the MMS APN is set to"APN type mms". I have other Xperia phones and i know the carrier settings work on those phones, but not on the XZ2 docomo phone. I am not sure what is conflicting or missing for the MMS APN to not automatically send and receive MMS like it should. Hope that makes sense.
