However... the zip file for the ipcc in the second post contains a README that covers how to setup iTunes to install a custom ipcc. Honestly it's the better route. It solves lost setting issues and adds a real T-Mobile bundle to the phone.

ok ill look into it. thing is my t-mobile logo is already fine it always has been. i have never had that scrolling issue. basically i don't want to mess up my phone with not being able to use edge or something or lose service. so i don't like to mod files that i can't change back. basically what i am saying is will i do any harm to my phone by doing this? and you said if i don't have a custom carrier bundle i can just change the plist? so what do i need the ipcc for?
also where is the bundle file located through ssh? can you give me the directory path? thanks and once again i am not using a carrier bundle....i just want to clear up the picture quality.

In theory having a carrier specific ipcc makes things work better... not worse. I do understand the if it ain't broke don't fix it motto however.

As far as not being able to change back, if it breaks something that can't be fixed by reconfiguring the Data Settings (which it shouldn't)... you can SSH into the phone and delete the TMobile_US Bundle. After a reboot you should be back to where you were.

As for editing the plist, it's actually a bit trickier when you don't have a custom carrier bundle. You'll need to pull the carrier.plist and convert it first (it will be in binary on the phone), make your edits, and then re-upload it.

oh alright well i think i am happy the way it is then as long as it works. i appreciate your help! but some people aren't getting my mms it says it sent on my iphone though. anyway do you need an internet plan for this to work i am trying to set it up for my friend and he doesn't have a data plan but has unlimited mms and text on his account.

I don't think he should need a data plan.

About getting better Quality MMS

I am using a custom logo and I do not want to lose it.

So, I wanna take the SSH route...
But, when I opened the "carier.plist" on /System/Library/Carrier Bundles/Unknown.bundle, I was not able to locate the MMS line stated in the first link you provided...

Can you give me a step-by-step on how to get better quality MMS without having to install any bundles that would change my logo?

Okay... predictably, there is no MMS section in the Unknown.bundle/carier.plist.

At the end of the file right before...

</dict>
</plist>

You could try adding...

	<key>MMS</key>
	<dict>
		<key>UAProf</key>
		<string>http://www.apple.com/mms/uaprof.rdf</string>
		<key>UserAgent</key>
		<string>SonyEricssonW800i/R1L</string>
        </dict>

That might break your ability to edit your MMSC, not really sure... if it does you could try adding...

	<key>AllowMMSCEditing</key>
	<true/>

At the beginning of the file right below...

<plist version="1.0">
<dict>

You are the man ironicirony!!!

(No irony on that lol)

[smokeyismyg]

oliver so if i follow what was suggested by changing the code inside bundles it will clear up the picture quality? did you notice anything different in phone signal or anything like that? also did you install a custom carrier bundle?

Yes... that's it!

1) All I did was to insert the MMS Code he provided on the "carrier.plist" and the quality of the pictures are perfect now.

2) I did not notice anything different in phone signal or battery drain by inserting that code. HOWEVER, ever since I installed MMS on my phone I suspect that my battery is draining quicker. Last night I did a fresh reboot and went to sleep with 55%... I woke up with 43%... I mean, 12% in +-8hrs stand by? Definetly something is wrong. I am doing some tests this morning, let's see.

3) I did not install any custom carrier bundle.

[Iamthetruth]

Hey guys I have entered everything you guys said down to the last period and my mms still won't send keeps giving me a (!). Any suggestions?

[smokeyismyg]

yes oliver i noticed significant battery drain. it is really bad meaning charged it to 100%...left it on standby for a day and didn't use my phone at all and now down to 20%. i don't think this mms is worth it. i am turning it off in messages to see if that helps or i might just uninstall it but thanks for telling me how to clear up the pictures!

[chitwnfinest]

I used these settings and I can send out mms but can't receive mms messages. Also it appears when someone sends mms, I get voicemail prompt and the phone volume goes dead i.e. I can't hear anyone on the line but they can hear me. However no pics are received. Any help would be appreciated... Thanks

Steps I took:

2) Installed "ActivateMMS2G"
3) Reboot Device.
4) Setup up MMS on Cellular Data Network (with the information above)
5) Reboot Device.
6) Made sure Message Settings had MMS turned on
7) Tested Sending MMS = OK / Tested Receiving MMS = OK

If anyone needs it, I have a custom IPCC file for the settings of using EPC for Net and WAP for MMS. My pic resolution also comes out perfect.
