No MMS in the GM seed

[shutter13]

There are no mms options in the GM seed. 8.2 took away our ability to change the ipcc file. After I finish my restore from back up, I am going to uninstall 8.2, install the first 8.2 prerelease and see if I can install the custom ipcc file. And see if it works, if I can. Will update later.

[cdelauz]

I was meaning to ask you that kev, Im sure that will come out in like 3.01

[Chris Hyde]

LOL! So all this hoopla about the new 3.0 and Apple dosent integrate MMS.

[ashwini]

That will start working once the carrier is ready. there may be a small update activating the MMS in the future.

[badge]

MMs is a carrier update the os 3 will have it but once AT&T release there carrier update it will. work i am on o2 and never had the camera icon once i put in the mms details in settings the icon appeared..

[BrownGem]

I figured MMS would not be immediately available with the new firmware update so no surprise there. We have waited this long...oh well.

[shutter13]

It's not Apple, AT&T isn't ready, apparently, and so the at&t carrier file does not include mms. Once AT&T supports it, there will be a carrier file update via iTunes.

FWIW, I was able to get it going again. Required me to uninstall current iTunes, resinstall iTunes from beta 4, move my iTunes library file, apply the custom ipcc file and then reinstall current iTunes, move my library file back and now I need to uninstall iTunes, and apple mobile device support and reinstall current iTunes.

This caused me to have to close my browser so I had to start my uploads over, sorry guys. I'll wait for the 3G file to finish before I do it again. I now have an hour long sync ahead of me, and to top it off, my dumb ass forgot to back up before I restored so I restored to a back up that was 2 days old.

Wow what a head ache, lol so did you install the final 3.0 with the current 8.2, or beta 4's 8.2?

[shutter13]

I installed with the current 8.2 (8.2 official release). Then did all that other garbage. It is a pain but I have mms and it works. It is a pain, but not as bad as it looks, my compter is fairly fast and all of it took about 10-15 minutes (getting the ipcc file installed) got about 5 more minutes worth of uninstalling and reinstalling before I can beging my re-sync and get all my apps, videos and music back on my phone. Just waiting for the 3G file to finish uploading. uninstalling the apple mobile device support is going to require me to close my browser again, so I'm waiting.

[Watcher]

You've got to be kidding me! All that crap? How about I just wait until June 17th for them to release the official 3.0. I heard beta 5 will last until then anyway.

[shutter13]

According to the keynote blog I was reading AT&T has said no mms until later this summer. If you already have the updated carrier file you can try updating, rather than restoring. I just figured if this was the final release...I wanted to make sure all the debug code was off my phone. So I restored. I kinda figured I go through this headache.

[cdelauz]

What do you mean by moving your itunes library?

[Hondamaker]

You've got to be kidding me! All that crap? How about I just wait until June 17th for them to release the official 3.0. I heard beta 5 will last until then anyway.
That is what I'm gonna do. What the hell.

[shutter13]

What do you mean by moving your itunes library?

The older iTunes cannot read the iTunes.itl file from the newer one, I had to move it to another loaction on my hard drive, for the older version to open. Then I moved it back after re-installing the newer version.

[shutter13]

That is what I'm gonna do. What the hell.

You may be able to update, having previous betas on my phone, I wanted to make sure any random code was off my phone, so I restored. updating should keep your custom ipcc file intact.

[iphun]

I was on carrier file 5.0 before I updated and I still have it. As long as you currently have the ipcc and ONLY update you will retain mms. And my phone is running amazingly fast with just an update, so for now I think that's the way to go.

Yeap, I've just update and I still have MMS working just fine too!

[iphun]

I seriously do not get why they can't just let us have it now. Obviously it works they just need to give us the options to use it. I am glad I still have it and I continue to send almost 100 mms's a month. AT&T can easily begin mms for the iphone, I can understand they might want to test tethering a little more but mms c'mon AT&T.

[DrDaveXIX]

@Shutter

so far OS installed and activated OK... doing my first sync now... ill test out functionilaty and report back

[cdelauz]

Iphun, how is your phone running by just updating, and not restoring?

Cool, thanks for being the guinea pig, LOL.

[iphun]

Iphun, how is your phone running by just updating, and not restoring?

Wonderful, apps don't look like they crash when I close them it's back to the nice closing transition all the time. The camera is soo much faster with the shutter time. The phone is all around faster and performing better. I don't have a single complaint.

I have NEVER been able to merely "update" on any beta. I've always had to Restore.

[iphun]

That's odd, were you able to put the GM seed on by updating?

[Watcher]

I haven't done it, yet. I have to admit... I'm kinda scared. I was waiting to see if anyone else has tried it. :wink:

[iphun]

I haven't done it, yet. I have to admit... I'm kinda scared. I was waiting to see if anyone else has tried it. :wink:

I would be too, ever since the first beta where I got stuck into itunes restore mode I have been hesitant during every update, but they have all been successful. I wouldn't go by me though since I haven't had updating problems. I would say back it up and try an update since your only other option is to restore :wink:

[Napoleon_PhoneApart]

I think my MMS is still working...

[Watcher]

I think my MMS is still working...
Did you update or restore?

[iphun]

I think my MMS is still working...

If you updated and it was working before it should..

[Watcher]

Just to recap, all of you who have MMS working on the 3.0 GM updated and didn't restore, correct?

[Napoleon_PhoneApart]

I updated over my jailbroken 3.0 beta 5.

[iphun]

Just to recap, all of you who have MMS working on the 3.0 GM updated and didn't restore, correct?

Updated and did not restore and still have mms. No problems with lag or anything

[shutter13]

LOL, I restored, but of course I jumped through hoops to get the options back.

[iphun]

LOL, I restored, but of course I jumped through hoops to get the options back.

12 too many hoops for me, lol :tounge:

[Adam1389]

Just update to the GM, still have MMS on mine.

[Watcher]

Just update to the GM, still have MMS on mine.
Mine can't update. Never could. It would always error out and I'd end up having to restore it anyway.

But let me ask everyone this... namely shutter13: If I update to the new 3.0 GM with the beta 4 iTunes 8.2, which I still have (never updated beyond it), will I still retain my MMS?

If it will update, yes you should keep the option. If it will even update or restore on that iTunes build. I know it will update the ipcc, I did it. So if it will load the file on your phone, update or restore, you should be fine, if you have to restore the beta 4 iTunes will allow you to update the ipcc file.

[cdelauz]

i did a full restore, then i downgraded to iTunes beta 4, then update my ipcc, then installed the official itunes, and no i can send/receive mms. From what I hear you can just update, i did a full restore to make sure I got all the debug codes of the phone.

Thanks, man!

[bothibodeaux]

I got the mms on there , but like it doesnt send..... is there any way to activate it

[shutter13]

Thanks, man!

I'm suprised you could understand what I typed. I just re-read it and realized I must be getting very tired, my typing and cognitive skills are suffering.

[iphun]

Call at&t and ask them to provision you for mms. Don't be surprised if they turn you away with 'as you know the iphone doesn't support mms at this time, so we cannot do that' or something like that.

[shutter13]

Where is the threads about getting mms working with the betas? There was literally pages of suggestions on getting mms provisioned.

[coinstar99]

I just updated to the GM, I've got the option to turn MMS on, but it doesn't work. What I'd like to know is why when I put my SIM in another phone MMS will work, but when I place it back in the iPhone it works for a day and then stops. I am not so sure I buy this having to remove the opt out option.

Because their system locks you out again. I don't buy that they couldn't have it ready for the final release when 29 other carriers are going to be ready. Unless they will and just don't want to promise in case they don't finish.

[ashwini]

I just updated my OS 3.0 beta 5 to GM and I have MMS!! my carrier (AirTel) supports it!

[iphun]

You just had to rub that in our sad at&t faces didn't you :tounge: I am happy I have had it through the entire beta process and still have it on the GM seed, so I guess I am happy. It's just that it working officially would be nice because I want to get a 3GS which I would prefer not to mess with to get mms working on it.

[damod84]

Cool, thanks for being the guinea pig, LOL.


i have mms and tethering working on 3.0 GM perfectly!!

[mdmac]

I feel like stabbing AT&T in its collective face right now. I don't understand why they can't do it now when you call and why some people have it working but others not.

[BlindSpoTT]

ok so i am provisioned for mms, and i have the 5.0 file on the phone. but i still get the red "!", is there anything i have to setup on the phone? this sucks, i had mms work for 1 day back on beta 3, now i cant do it again...... help thanks

First try and just toggle the airplane mode then try to send one. If that doesn't work then reset network settings.

haha, i keep having the same conversations with you in different threads...... im trying now.

[BlindSpoTT]

nope, that didnt work..... is there anything supposed to be in any of the fields except APN? ie: username, password

[iphun]

You can try the user and pass, but I have never needed them. I found this a while back with settings for MMS under cellular data network.

[BlindSpoTT]

thanks ill try it...

[BlindSpoTT]

no go.... man WTH!!!!!!!!!!!

[iphun]

no go.... man WTH!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow I don't know, maybe try putting the sim in a dumb phone trick. I just sent some so it isn't at&t, so they could have just unprovisioned you which shouldn't happen anymore since they are going through the process of provisioning everyone. I am actually wondering if when the new phone comes and with the public update on wednesday if there will be a slightly different version of the OS than the GM seed that will put all the mms options and tethering options back. They just wouldn't work for most people who weren't provisioned, but it would work for us since we were. Hopefully we get yours fixed!!

[BlindSpoTT]

ok im trying this now. i just sent two messages with my old phone, one text, and one MMS just to make sure it works. i sent them both to me to make sure i can send and receive. they both went. just rebooting iphone now.....................................

[BlindSpoTT]

DAMNIT!!!!!!!! so i can send on another phone but not my iphone.....

i just tried turning on and off airplain mode, resting the network settings, and toggled MMS off then on. in that order and guess what..... NO ICON and no toggle any more..... i didnt even get to test again!!!!!!!

so DO NOT!!!!!!!! toggle MMS off and on you will lose it.

im gonna try reinstalling the file now.

[BlindSpoTT]

nope it didnt come back. i need to try to go back to the stock one and then to the 5.0 again. any one have the stock 4.0 ipcc file from the GM release??

[iphun]

nope it didnt come back. i need to try to go back to the stock one and then to the 5.0 again. any one have the stock 4.0 ipcc file from the GM release??

No but I have the 3.5 one if you want to install it then update to the GM release again which would put the 4.0 one back. Just PM me your email address and I will send it to you

[BlindSpoTT]

sent thanks

[Hondamaker]

You guys are just gonna keep trying--in vain--to get MMS to work, aren't you? Give it up and wait till it's officially approved by AT&T. Man, talk about beating a dead horse!

[BlindSpoTT]

well reinstalling 3.5 and puting 5.0 didnt work to get icon back. next is a restore.

[fedexgnd]

Good point. I just reinstalled 5.0 and have the icon, but keep getting an error when sending. Just waiting now for ATT to provision me. i wonder how long "later this summer" means to AT&T??

[BlindSpoTT]

whats the fun in waiting?? you apparently didnt wait to put 3.0 on, and didnt wait to try to use MMS. my point is i had MMS working on beta 3, and then it stopped so i know i can make it work again.

[iphun]

Well the summer season officially ends sometime in september so I would say that's what they mean by late summer :laugh2:. But I do hope they mean like early July at the latest.

[dalejrsfan]

Well put. Except I had the icon and could never get an mms to send. Thats why this fun and interesting for me!

[BlindSpoTT]

exactly, but now it turns frustrating.... i did a full restore, and had it back on 4.0ipcc, then add the 5.0 file, and still no icon. i know the 5.0 took, cause it says it under carrier, and i have the "cellular data network" menu it adds. but something is different about when i added the file today compared to last night. last night running the loading box, it did a quick little sync. the only thing i changed was that. but today when i do it, it only does the loading box..........

oh where oh where did my little icon go, oh where oh where could it be.............

[dalejrsfan]

oh where oh where did my little icon go, oh where oh where could it be.............[/quote]

I finally got my icon back. It gives me an error when trying to send an mms, but its a start. Heres what I did. In the beta 4 itunes version, I updated with the 3.5 carrier file from iphun, then updated with the 5.0 carrier file. Restarted my phone. Then in I input the settings from another site the iphun posted--You can try the user and pass, but I have never needed them. I found this a while back with settings for MMS under cellular data network.

Restarted my phone again and my icon was back!

[dalejrsfan]

Synced with latest iTunes. Icon still there, but lost the teethering option after I tried it. I dont have the need to teether anyway!

[iphun]

That's awesome, I'm glad you got it all working!! Yeah and there's no guarantee what at&t is going to charge for tethering, so if you use it now and they find out they will try and stick you with paying a couple months of the tethering plan.

Hey that worked!!!!! Thanks. That's weird cause I didn't need it before I put those setongs in the first time. Maybe when I put them in and then reset the settings when that didn't work to send the mms, that's when it could have disappeared? Oh well it's back. Now to get it to send again. Can a rep at an AT&T store provision my phone there? I have a friend who works at one. He maybe able to help me if it can be done. Or do I have to call customer service?

I actually think the reps in the store can provision you and they would be easier to talk into doing it. Especially since you have a friend there.
