MMS on iPhone 2g with OS 3.0

[tekwiz]

hey guyz, have anyone noticed that the sms issue. I can not send combined sms's longer than 2. if I reach the limit of 2 which is I think ~ 300 chars. I got sms sending failure. don't know if this is related with the mms activation, haven't tried it before I apply the patch. have anyone noticed that? know how to fix it or at least what cause it, sms app's own issue with OS 3.0 or this patch?

thx

Try turning MMS off in settings-->Messages. Then send and see if it still doesn't work.

I cant even get activatemms2g to work. I install it, reboot and have no mms options in my message settings, tried multiple restores and reboots but notta. I am jailbroken and running 3.0, but to no avail.

already tried that but no luck... I read a post a few days ago on one of the iPhone forumz and a guy talking about the same issue with his 3G and he claimed that this is a OS 3.0 bug and get fixed on 3.1. did u guyz heard sth like that? or having the same issue?

thx

Guys, i had it working PERFECTLY.

This is the method i have used.

MMS on 2G (os3.0) with default SMS/MMS app - Page 5 - Hackint0sh

After i did everything there, i had it running like clockwork. The pictures i get are THE WORST quality, but they worked. Then, i put my phone down to cook some food, came back and it wouldn't work.

If someone could try this, and lemme know if they got it to last longer than an hour, please let me know.

Im on Centennial wireless...not Tmobile..dunno if that matters...

EDIT: Dunno if it helps, but Centennial, just bought out by At&t, uses alot of their phones, etc. So, things like the Nokia N96, and others are avail. With swirly, i used that user agent, to get large, GREAT pictures. Hell, i was thinking of buying a Pantech Duo or Slate too...

[hondakorn]

i changed my imei when i was in 1.1.4 for Swirly and it worked flawlessly until i updated to 2.0 and it automatically changed back.....should it have stayed changed? and would it stay changed after this process?

homeofmagic.blogspot.com has custom jailbroken ispw's w/o basehand upgrade for 2g iphones.

upgrade to one of those after changing ur imei on 114 and the imei will stick.

The links in that part don't work. Plus, i don't use Tmobile. I use Centennial Wireless.

maybe you should post your exact steps instead of your success story. thanks.

I know but follow the thread, there are more files where he links too. It depends on why your incoming pics are crappy. If it's because your cell provider ignores what is in the MMS settings and instead looks for that info from the phone itself then his fix will work. You would have to manually edit your carrier bundle files to at the UA profile for a different phone. Once we did that our pics were clear.

Hey guys,

Anyone having problems with MobileMe synchronization on T-Mobile with MMS enabled? It seems like it tries to sync, and then it loses service and comes back. Anyone have any ideas? thanks in advance!!

TMOBILE USERS:

I have a carrier.plist that uses epc.tmobile.com for data and wap.voicestream.com for mms. It also includes the fix for resolution.

I just ssh'ed into my phone and replaced. Hard rebooted.

However, when i send an MMS to myself, it fails at sending, but I do receive it.

How did you SSH it? Where?

Hi all,

With mms enabled the battery life is 1 day.
Without mss enabled the battery life was 3 day???

3.0 battery life seems to be a hot topic. Don't know if it's MMS or something else as tons of people with 3g and 3gs and no MMS are having issues as well.


@Unfaced...if you look at my sig, hit that link and then hit the first link in my list, in that thread is the location where to SSH them in...at least it worked for me....after I restored because of a different issue, that location wasn't there anymore.

Found on another forum:
SSHed in their iPhone and moved the APSD file from start up in: /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.apsd.plist

The person moved it into a dummy file somewhere else.. and reset the iPhone (iphone still worked).


According to this person the battery definitely seem to last longer and it did not get warm.

I think I have. it might be connected with internet apn, whenever an app tries to go online when wifi off, it connects to mms server to check if it can get through the internet. and the connection keeps active for a while, it can be seen on sbsettings data connection...

I'm gonna try editing carrier.plist now, let's see what's gonna happen. >=)

The battery drain is worse after activating the native MMS in my 2G (I have SwirlyMMS2 on as well, haven't decided what MMS app to keep yet).

Have anyone found out what seemingly causes the unit to use more energy after activating MMS?
