Hello,
I found this fix for my iphone MMS problem posted by someone on a Tmobile site and it read this:
"Ok so i came around with a fix for this. And now i have a iPhone 3G on iOS4.2.1 and iPhone 3GS on iOS 4.2.1, and they both have MMS working perfectly.
I tried puting the setting on "Setting--> General --> Network --> Cellular Data Network", but it didnt work.
However i put the setting via SSH, and works just perfect.
WHat i did is the following:
1. SSH into your iPhone. If you don't know how to do it, look for it on YouTube
2. Navigate to " /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/ "
3. There will be a File called " com.apple.mms_override.plist " , Copy that file into your computer, and then open it with readme.
4. Now u will edit the file. Select all (CTRL+A) and replace with the following:
<?xml version=1.0″ encoding=UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC -//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd>
<plist version=1.0">
<dict>
<key>MMS</key>
<dict>
<key>GroupModeEnabled</key>
<false/>
<key>MMSC</key>
<string>http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc</string>
<key>MaxMessageSize</key>
<integer>1048576</integer>
<key>MaxRecipients</key>
<integer>10</integer>
<key>MaxVideoBitrate</key>
<integer>131072</integer>
<key>Proxy</key>
<string>216.155.165.50:8080</string>
<key>UAProf</key>
<string>http://www.apple.com/mms/uaprof.rdf</string>
<key>UserAgent</key>
<string>SonyEricssonW800i/R1L</string>
</dict>
</dict>
</plist>
Then save the file, with the same format .plist. <-- Very important. If you dont know how to edit a file with readme without changing its format, google it.
5. Once u have edit the file and save it, go back to the to SSH you iPhone and replace the original file "com.apple.mms_override.plist" with the new one u just edited. Once thats done, exit SSH and reebot your iPhone.
6. Now go to "Setting--> General --> Network --> Cellular Data Network", and make sure the settings looks like this:
Cellular data
APN wap.voicestream.com
MMS
APN wap.voicestream.com
MMSC http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS Proxy 216.155.165.50:8080
MMS Max Message Size 1048576
MMS UA Prof URL http://www.apple.com/mms/uaprof.rdf
If your APN are empty or say something different, fix them <--important.
And of course the username and password stay empty.
7. Once all done, reboot your iPhone, and you should be good to go."
This is great and I can do most of the instructions here, except someone PLEASE HELP HOW TO SAVE IN .plist (step 4). I open with notebook and have no idea how to save it in .plist. Also, I can't find anything on the net for this either, which is ironic because i could find instructions for a bomb on there easier... Please help!!!!!
Many Thanks!
