I just failed at picture messaging on my iPhone
 
Apparently AT&T have been holding out on us. If you enable manual carrier updates in iTunes you can get the latest carrier settings and enable this standard feature.

I wrote a little guide on how to do it here:

iPhone users... want MMS without jailbreak? Here's how... - MX5 Miata Atlanta Owners Club

Can you view the [ code ] boxes without being a member?

jdmaddox88 08-28-2009 07:51 PM

Well shit. It doesn't seem to be working entirely yet... having trouble actually sending the pictures now.

jdmaddox88 08-28-2009 07:52 PM

It enabled tethering alright for me though!

UrbanSoot 08-28-2009 07:55 PM

nice little hack. now go and get an android phone.

Wait, did I miss something? Can you really not natively send MMS messages on an iPhone?

Yeah seriously, I've been sending pics on my g1 for forever. In fact I used to do that on all my blackberrys and as far back as my old nokia.

I've got the next gen G1, the MyTouch and I am absolutely loving it. Android FTW.

jdmaddox88 08-28-2009 08:13 PM

Nope, it's a stupid feature that should have been included. But still, the iPhone pisses on the rest as a device but let's try and avoid a war of words here. :)

I'm still having some issues but I'm not sure if that's down to the network of the other person I'm sending messages too. I think it'll take a little experimenting to be sure.

att doesnt have enough resources to support mms and tathering. not like t-mobile is perfect but its WAY better then att. i currently use g1 w/ open home frontent (full version that i paid for) and i absolutely love it except for one thing - phone is WAY too slow!

ya my phone supposedly has the same hardware as the G1 but really seems light-years faster. Not sure what the difference is.

UrbanSoot 08-28-2009 08:34 PM

it has same cpu i think but definitely more memory

I would be with T-mobile but their coverage in my area is just isn't up to par. I prefer them on the whole.

Yeah, weird. I can do all kinds of crazy (to me, my iPhone 3GS is my first real "smart" phone) things with mine. Use Skype to make calls using my LAN and get around crappy Ft. Ord reception, send texts in foreign languages, record, edit, and send videos as texts, but not pictures. So weird!

Jail brake ipones, mmsing since version 1.0

thesnowboarder 08-29-2009 02:45 PM

I got it all enabled, but its not actually sending pictures. Any ideas? Powered it off too.

My g1 used to be slow. With the new android update its really up there. The phone literally was a whole new phone after the update. Works really great.

Didn't work for me, but I have Vista 64. How do I include the (x86) in my program files directory? Spaces? No spaces?

UrbanSoot 08-29-2009 10:49 PM

Do you use swirlymms? It's still more of a performance to use than it should be.

I've ran out of suggestions at this point. I've tried a few different things, I think it probably did work like how we have it now for a limited time and then ATT fixed it so we're SOL.

Nice title change. :brain:
