Root MMS messages not working on gingervillain...?

[extremejoe]

tried sending an mms message on gingervillain 0.9 yesterday and it just said sending for 6 hours

do mms messages not work on this rom?

is there a way to make them work?

Open titanium backup, go to backup restore tab.

Scroll down to [sms / mms prefs] and wipe it.

Let me know if it works. If it does work ill explain why

this is what i see under messaging app

picture i'm sending to myself (as a test)

then "me"

and underneath that "sending...."

that sound wrong?

 

[SUroot]

Are your apns correct?

 

[extremejoe]

Are your apns correct?

dunno

i could send mms on leedroid but not on gingervillain

is it possible?

 

[SUroot]

You'll need to check your apns. They may no longer be correct

 

[extremejoe]

cheers i'll give it a try

[SUroot]

Yes but I'm on o2 so my apn is obviously different to yours

 

[extremejoe]

Yes but I'm on o2 so my apn is obviously different to yours

right i've entered those settings

is it actually possible to send yourself an mms?

how will i know if what i have done has worked?

 

[Hadron]

APNs on my phone are:

Orange UK - orangeinternet
Orange UK MMS - orangemms

Can't confirm that it's working, because I send about 2 MMS/year on average.

Send a message and see.

You can send yourself a text, so I can't see why you can't send yourself an MMS.

whey heyyyyyy

it worked

cheers fellers

i'll prob use it like twice a year - but its a feature that should work and now does

love this community

edit:

i had mobile data (3g) connection on while it sent

should mms messages send without 3g been turned on?

 

[SUroot]

You need more than 2g.

I tested by sending message to my e-mail. It converts to mms to do it

 

[Hadron]

MMS has been around longer than 3G, so it shouldn't need that (my previous phone didn't have 3G and could still send/receive MMS). It does use package-switched data though, so at least a GPRS connection would be needed.

Is it smart enough to make that connection temporarily if data is disabled? You might think, but I tried it just now and it didn't get anywhere - in fact even after enabling data while sending it just sat saying "sending" until I got bored. Sent fine when I enabled data before trying though.

 

[SUroot]

When I say more than 2g I really mean gsm

 

[Hadron]

Yeah, our messages crossed - I started that reply, then did the test while the message window was open, so it took me a good few minutes.
