[SOLVED] Unable to send/receive MMS

auburnham · #1 (**permalink**) 10-12-2011, 06:58 PM

I had been unable to send or receive MMS messages with FRX07.1. The sending issue was characterized by a persistent "sending" message, and the message was never sent. The receiving issue was characterized by a "downloading" message and the media was never downloaded. I tried several different APN settings and none would work.

I changed my radio from 2.32WU to 2.37WV and MMS now works with the APN settings in the FAQ.

Thanks to arrrghhh for the suggestion in this post. I guess this just means that I can't switch to GSM towers in the US if I wanted to, but that's not a big deal.

AFAIK the radio will work for GSM if you need it. Glad it fixed the problem!

Gawd... No. You took that completely out of context. I meant it'll work for both - the OP seemed concerned that changing radio versions would only work for CDMA, and it wouldn't work anymore for GSM - which isn't true. My point was it'll work for both...

Did you try actually sending a pic? I dunno if sending a pic to yourself even works. Never tried it TBH.

Radio firmware upgrades are a WinMo thing...

Dunno. Never tried to send one to myself like I said - but IMHO that's not a good test.
