hello,

I added the sinfuliphonerepo thing. found enable mms and it comes up saying NOTE: the requested modifications cannot be applied due to required depedencies or conflicts that cannot be automatically found or fixed.

what do i do?

thanks in advance

Listen to Isaac (thanks btw Isaac!!!) add http://www.sinfuliphonerepo.com to your cydia sources and search for enablemms2g then add it, enter your apn info or use dsocrayz’s swirly method from above and picture message away like magic.

Hmm I have a problem with cydia… I can’t find activatemms2g in my cydia… I don’t know where to find it, I tried sections and messaging but there is no such a package there… Help please… Anyone?

Someone help! When I try to search for the “ActivateMMS2G” app. in Cydia, it doesn’t appear!

Ok I want to buy The iPhone 3g o2 but does it only work in the uk ??? Also if it does can there be a iPhone that I can pay as you go or something because I’m trying real hard not to pay that 30-50$$$$ month subb.
If you have any info can u please help ???

I received a lot of complaints about vermms.vodafone.es here in my blog at http://www.zecce.com/vermms-vodafone-es-vodafone-spain//

By right, if you’re using Vodafone MMS, you can simply download and view the MMS pictures, sent by your friend.

Anybody encounter the same problem here?

sooo…funny question…trying to get this working on my girlfriends iphone. She has NO DATA plan. It was a present from me to her, but she is ALWAYS on wifi (home, school, my place, etc) or with me and i have a 3G plan. Anyways, i could not get ispazio’s method to show the MMS option, even after restarting 9 times. I ended up installing Schmidty’s .ipcc and immediately got the MMS option, camera icon, and was able to edit the APN settings. The settings stayed in there everytime i modified them, and were never deleted like everyone has complained of.

Anyways, is there ANY way to make this work over a wifi data connection?? I thought that maybe it could send the info to the APN address over wifi, but maybe thats not how it works?? Hopefully someone can shed some light on if it is even possible?

Thanks again…and hopefully more people will try Schmidty’s method, as i know that with a data connection it will be VERY VERY easy to get mms working.

hi is there a way to activate mms on an iphone 2g on 3.1?

i have an iphone 2g firmware 3.0 carrier att 5.5 jailbroken

i installed activatemms
i can’t install apn editing because it gives me error messages during the install

i have the mms tab in settings: messages it is on

when i open the messages button i do have a camera icon

i take a picture then i get the option buttons to use or retake.. that’s where the problem is when i press either button nothing happens the only way i can get out of it is to press the home button

any ideas?

As the previous commenter said, this app is NOT compatible with the 3.1 software on the 2G iPhone–only with 3.0 software. I temporarily bricked my phone and had to restore it. I’ll happily pay the $12 for SwirlyMMS before going near an iSpazio app again.

WARNING:For those who wannah let their iphone 2G live a little bit longer.
Don’t activate MMS, i did but my iphone got very hot and the battery was drained in minutes, removing the ativateMMS (cydia) keped him cold again, maybe this is te reason Apple didn’t activate it for the 2G version….

I have attempted to install this app twice now. I’m using a iphone 2g jailbreak 3.0 and this app has BRICKED MY PHONE BOTH TIMES INSTALLING IT!!! BEWARE THAT YOU MAY HAVE TO RESTORE YOUR IPHONE BY USING THIS APP. Plus all these people saying they cant get it to work, it sends dual messages, all these other problems, etc…. is it really worth the trouble? DONT DOWNLOAD THIS APP!!!

easy way to do is down load the software from cidia then go download the swirly mms 2 not too but 2 its in blue then go to the app and then its going to say fetching the liscences cancel it tap next then hit the tools bottom left and hit run setting wizard click the first settings which auto fills reset the fone when u open messages the icon is there thank u as i bow

i installed this program thru cydia and it rebooted, now my phone wont go pass the apple logo…how restore or have my phone functioning again its a iphone 2g

i’ve got it working just fine, but i have a unique problem that will intrigue many of you.

i’ve found a data plan with t-mobile that is only $10. it’s also only 100MB of web for that price, but i never even really touch that much data with my work. so the plan works great for me on my iPhone 2g. thank you, Apple. thanks, T-Mobile. thanks, Dev Team.

problem: the APN that is required to use MMS (wap.voicestream.com) will not work for cellular data used for web and email on my current data plan. in other words, i’ve been using “internet2.voicestream.com” for web and email, but the APN’s have to match to use MMS… and the one that works for MMS (wap) won’t work for both MMS and web/email.

i’ve changed both APN’s in cellular data settings to “wap.voicestream.com” and had success with mms…

does this mean i’m going to have to change back and forth between APN’s manually if I want to send/receive MMS’s every once in a while?

cuz that would suck. any solutions you guys have come upon… or can hack out for me?

much love. -j

I have installed the activatemms2g, on my phone but i cannot see the enable mms option on under settings. I tried installing and re-installing and rebooting a couple of times but of no use. i have a iphone 2g, 3.0 os.. carrier vodafone india… PLZ help..

I had problem with installing ActivateMMS2G, and even having problem with NOT having the setting/general/network/cellular data network at all.

Here’s what worked for me:

If you can’t see the camera in message OR setting/message/MMS option, (and you’ve installed ActivateMMS2G) Keep RESTARTING. I have to restart like at lease 5 times. I even reinstall and installed ActivateMMS2G many many times.

For those who have CELLULAR DATA NETWORK not being save: on your iphone, click safari and go to “help.benm.at” and install mobileconfigs (it will add the cellular info for you). You may have to enter MMSC and MMS Proxy info.

here are my info for T-Mobile USA:
MMSC: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
MMS Proxy: 216.155.165.050:8080

SOURCE: http://www.benm.at/2009/06/13/helpbenmat/

I hope this will help somebody.

If your on o2 UK make sure you havnt sent the text to 1010 otherwise it could be a pain, though i managed to solve it by getting o2 to turn off/on my mms at their end by calling with my sim in a sony phone, just make sure they dont send you the mms/gps settings for the phone otherwise you go back to square one.

OK here is the answer to the “I cannot Save the APN” problem… stolen shamefully off another board. Solved my problem completly.

For people who require different APNs for their mobile data and their MMS, there may be a fix for you. I am on a Polish network which requires different APNs and I am able to send MMS and browse the internet. This is what I did:

1. Install the Cydia package “ActivateMMS2G” and reboot
2. Go to help.BenM.at on your iPhone
3. Go to the second Mobileconfigs link, the one that allows you to create a custom Mobileconfig
4. Enter your MMS APN (i.e. mms.plusgsm.pl) for both of the APN fields (Mobile Internet and Visual Voicemail) and enable tether. My network requires no username or password, if yours does, you may need to enter those as well.
5. Press generate, install it, press OK, then reboot RIGHT AWAY. Do not check the settings!!!
6. Go to settings > General and scroll down to profile. If it says 2 (or more) profiles, delete/uninstall the one(s) that are not called “help.benm.at” (i.e. delete all but the one you just installed). If it only says help.benm.at, skip to step 8.
7. After deleting the other profiles, go back to help.BenM.at and repeat steps 3-5. The first time you try to install it, it may fail or hang while installing (it did for me anyway) if this happens, press the home button, reopen Safari, then try again, it should work.
8. Once your iPhone has rebooted, go to Settings > General > Network > Cellular Data Network. Your MMS APN should be present in every APN field.
9. Fill in your MMSC and MMS Proxy. Once again, my network has no username or password, so I am not sure if you should add this here or during step 4… Experiment!!
10. Reboot your iPhone.
11. Open Messages and try to send an MMS. If it fails, check your settings are correct.
12. If it is successful, go back to Cellular Data Network and change your Cellular Data APN to the one appropriate for your network.
13. Test your data connection.
14. Test your MMS.

This fixed it for me. It seems that the MMS APN can only be the APN included in the Mobileconfig, whereas the data APN can be anything….

AT&T US? Anyone? I actually BOUGHT Swirly, only to receive, in response to a call for help, an email that said “if you are using AT&T US, we probably can’t help you! (but thanks for the $12!). I don’t even need to SEND an MMS, I just want to be able to receive them from others so I don’t have to see that ridiculous “View this message at this super old website” text. Please.

Is there simply no relief in site for us?

Need ActivateMMS2G to work on jailbroken 2G in 3.0 on AT&T.

Worked Great!! Took a couple of reboots to get the MMS icons and the little “camera”. Note to T-Mobile USA Users, i found that if your cell data APN is “internet2.voicestream.com” which is said to be faster (not sure) then you have to switch it to “wap.voicestream.com” because the MMS APN is wap.voicestream.com and if the two are not the same, when you leave the settings window, the MMS APN goes blank.

Other wise everything works.

This is way too buggy. First time completely crashed my 2G phone. I had to do a restore.

Second time, it worked, but I cannot save the MMS APN. People say to be sure that the Data and MMS APNs are the same. BUT- that does not work for T-Mobile when you have to use two different APNs. I tried using the same APNs but nothing works.
The APN issue is not a problem with the MMS as included in the 3G software.

The APN issue has to be a problem with this MMS activate software. Developers…. what is the fix?

Hi

I have installed the program no problem however I am on Orange (UK). I can not get the APN, User or Password to save. Any body have any ideas?

I just wanted to Thank everyone for their posts….especially the T-Mobile posts!!… It worked for me, finally…. I thought I would have to use Swirly!…. And granted, I liked Swirly… but having this native MMS is much better… Although iRealSMS and SwirlyMMS gave you much better options as far as the program goes… But I’m still happy, wap.voicestream.com DOES work!!..

Thanks again,
JoMusic

A answer to some Q’s:

If you do not see the “MMS ON?OFF” button or the “Camera” Button in the Messages.app (sms/mms application) just restart your iphone 3 times…..YES 3 IS THE RIGHT AMOUNT!!!! if you turn your iphone on/off after that everything will be O.K…..The phone needs to be reset (on and off) 3 times after you install the patch…this is a one time thing!! every other time you turn it on/off you DO NOT need to do it 3 times…

If you have AT&T (yes you know who you are) you will not have MMS (even if you are on a non-iphone plan) until AT&T sets the MMS up. If you are not on AT&T and your network (T-Mobile USA, and the others) has MMS set up you r “Good 2 Go”.

I have AT&T BUT….I am on their GoPhone Plan which is pre-paid….I have installed and restarted MANY times but i have no camera option in txt messaging app and no “MMS ON/OFF” option under settings-messages….. I NEED HELP??!!!! I will send a MMS to myself from another device and see if it works but in the meantime, does AT&T have a MMS Thing worked out and activated for the iphone yet??? If so/not plz tell me. TY

ok so this is what i do.
I go on cydia, i download the patch, restart 3 times and nothing.
when i go to settings>general> that is where it ends. i dont have that apn setting option. any help here??
i have yahoo messenger: boznian4life01
and live messenger: mehinovic_dino92@live.com
please contact me and help me

I have ATT.
Will this not work until they make there mms live?

Hello all.

I am one of the misfortunate ones that are forced to use ATT.
Will this update work on the ATT network or will i need to wait until it goes live?

Thanks

Scott

i’m also having the problem where it doesn’t save the apn setting. No matter what i do when i go back to the mms settings the apn disappears.
What to do?

SOLUTION!!! I found the solution to dropping the APN!

While searching the forums somebody said the APN for both the MMS and the Cellular Data settings must match!

For me, using T-Mobile in the USA, there are 3 APN settings that can be used for Cellular Data… 2 recommended “internet2.voicestream.com” & “epc.tmobile.com” and 1 they don’t recommend because it’s supposedly not an internet connection, but a link to their generic T-zones.

Once I made both APN settings “wap.voicestream.com” my picture messages started flowing no problems!

My concern was that i would have lost my internet because of the Cellular Data APN, but NO I was able to surf every website I tried.

so recap for what fixed my problems:

upgrade/jailbreak/unlock to OS 3.0
install the ActivateMMS2G app via Cydia
reboot until the icon appears (I literally rebooted about 8 times)
add the network settings that are appropriate for your carrier
for me they APN settings HAD to match or the iPhone would boot one and you couldn’t use it at all.

and when it doubt, there’s no-finer place to look than your peers and virtual-friends in the forums!!!!

I have things set up so now the option is in messaging, but I still can’t actually send – it shows an error.

I think part of my challenge is that I can’t match up the terms. I know the Gateway, Server & APN, but MMSC, MMSC Proxy & MMS UA Prof URL I don’t know exactly what they are looking for or which thing to put in which place.

I’m trying to set up with T-Mo USA if anyone can help, I’d greatly appreciate it!

I Installed ActiveMMS2G on my iPhone2G using OS 3.0 with T-Mobile (USA) and it wouldn’t even give me an icon to send MMS so this is what I ended up doing and now it works great:

1. Launch Cydia > Sections > Messaging
2. Install ActiveMMS2G and Reboot
3. Go to Settings > General > Network > Cellular Data Network
4. Use the details below

Cellular Data:
APN – wap.voicestream.com
Username -
Password -

MMS:
APN – wap.voicestream.com
Username -
Password -
MMSC – 216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
MMS Proxy – 216.155.165.50:8080
MMS Max Message Size -
MMS UA Prof URL -

5. Reboot
6. Go to Settings > General > Messages and make sure MMS Messaging is ON (if it’s not on, turn it on and then reboot again)
7. When sending text messages, you should now be able to see the camera icon to send MMS.

Hope this helps somebody. It helped me.

What about 3G owners? I’m not in the US and I have 3.0 but I don’t have MMS.

If you don’t avec the “Cellular Data Network” menu, download and install “APN editing” in Cydia.

I have the same problem as Jazz..
I have updated the MMS settings and set my own number. Some forums say that you have to send an mms to yourself first for it to work. Tried that as well but it still doesnt work. There is a red icon next to the picture i tried to send and says message sending failure.

Please do help!!!

What does the step4 even mean?

sorry guys, I got it working !!

In case others might need it here are the setting for meteor Ireland.

APN:mms.mymeteor.ie
USR: my
PSS: mms
MMSC: http://mms.mymeteor.ie
MMSC proxy: 10.85.85.85:8799
MMS Max Message size: 307200
MMS UA Prof URL: http://mms.mymeteor.ie

After step 3 reboot 3 times ! then the icon will be available.
I am out of credit so i will test it soon.

thanks again guys !

It doesn’t save the APN information when I hit the back arrow!
MMSC and MMS-proxy is saved alright though…?!

Any suggestions?

It works!!! Only 1 issue I had, when sending an MMS, it seems to send it twice? Anyone else experiencing this?
