MMS Just started working!!

[cheapa55]

how do you know if it works? do you have to try to send a picture to someone?

 

[UngratefulNinja]

I did sync it in the morning to install a new app. Otherwise didn't do anything else.

Excellent, thank you!

Yep, it's in my final 3.0. Look under Settings > General > Usage. Should be there.

The option for battery percentage is only available on the iPhone 3G S.

 

[paulyras]

How did you get the battery percentage? I thought that wasn't in the final 3.0?

It's in the settings on the 3GS, or you can get it if you previously had your phone JBroken, enabled it then, and un JBreak it afterwords. It doesn't go away for some (good) reason.

I'm not really sure how I see this is possible without some kind of small software update to you iPhone. I say this because of the appearance of the small picture icon to the left of the text entry line in MMS. Does AT&T flicking a switch somehow tell your iphone to change the way it displays the MMS screen?

 

[Deadman64]

So when it's working how do I add a pic to a txt? Will there be an option in the text app to press 'add a photo' or will I also be able to just go to a pic and under the settings where it says "email photo, wallpaper, assign to contact" will there also be send via mms?

Thanks

This has the potential to be an epic thread, if it's real!

I guess it's the same way they enable visual voicemail. They send something OTA to modify the settings on the sim card.

[fdot]

[digitalfx]

It's only an option on the 3GS.

Settings>General>Usage>Enable Percentage!

 

[JaisHTX]

Yep, it's in my final 3.0. Look under Settings > General > Usage. Should be there.

Thanks! I didn't even know that.

Question -- how does the "Messages" screen change when MMS is enabled? How can you tell the difference? Pardon my ignorance.

I just looked in my final 3.0, and battery percentage isn't there.

I had heard that they'd be rolling MMS out by end of summer, area by area, and by the end of summer everyone will have it. So this matches up with that... I just wish they started on the west coast instead

 

[Taylor C]

The option to turn on MMS, if available, should appear in Settings > Messages.

 

[Xtremespirit319]

I know this sounds really stupid, but I just got the 3GS yesterday and I dont see the camera icon next to my SMS text entry area... is that because I backed it up from a 2G?

 

[chris03]

Oh ok, that would explain why I have it haha.

I have a 3G and I have the percentage battery...

 

[Ron21]

Just tried emailing a pic to my number (917XXXXXXX@mms.att.net) and that works as well!

 

[Maclver]

no its because ATT hasn't activated that feature yet... so until its activated it wont show up!

 

[LiquidThunderLT]

A small camera icon will appear left of the text entry field

 

[Zerase]

... Mine has the battery percentage as well; I just enabled it in the options..

 

[Xtremespirit319]

Goood i though i was going crazy....
