The way I do it.
Go to app drawer and select apndroid. ensure mms settign is ticked.
go back to home screen and select apndroid to enable teh connection.
Then use handcent to write the mms.
and it sends.

OK, I got APN working, that was a first, now sending through Handcent, still sending, seems to be very little activity, I take it the setting in Handcent are ok at default?
With you does it take long for it to send?
Does being indoors make it harder for it to send?

Don't think I changed any handcent settings for MMS. Have sent indoors no problems. Do you have the MMS services through nitrality downloaded yeah ?
Hang on i'll test send one now.

Thanks Lewis, I'm on the original firmware with three. The battery went nuts on fri after i posted, charging had little effect on battery level unless I turned it off. I managed to get it to 60% (deleted the task killer) and powered it on again. Dropped 1% every 2 mins or so. Rebooted it, and it dropped 5% on power up. Rebooted it again but took sim and sd card out first. Dropped 16%. Rebooted it again with sim and sd i and it sat at 30% for the rest of the night. It didn't drop until the next morning and seemed to be back to normal battery drain. I updated the firmware thru kies to 2.2.1 and the battery is excellent since (not sure if it was anything to do with the upgrade). Dropping about 17-25% across 24 hrs with a bit of usage.

Guess it was just a hiccup.

Thanks for the reply.

Its the bloody MMS, it just seems to have a mind of its own, not matter what settings I slap into it 98% of the time it won`t work.
I saw your APN settings in your sig. and I thought I`d give it another go, I see activity but the MMS either stays downloading or does nothing.

Does anyone have there`s going?
I`m on O2.
I know your probably thinking why the hoe don`t you just send an e-mail, but I say I don`t want to, I want to send an MMS!!! lol

so does that mean you cant send or get mms?i can send and receive them but i have to turn on use packet data to do it?its nots so bad sending them but to get them the person has to text me first i turn on packet data and they send it.

I sent one MMS a few days ago was the same settings as I have now, the person was beside me, it took about 10 minutes and was 4 miles from where I live, there also on another network, I received one from another person who was the on the same network but every time I press the download button it said failed or just did nothing, no matter what I did to the settings.

My wifes SGS is turning itself off 2 or 3 times a day, very annoying.
the phones only 8 weeks old or so, she went back to the shop and they said if it was only 28 days or younger, they'd have given her a new one - but now it has to be sent away and all they'll do is a software upgrade. Lots of hassle.

Any other options?

Send it back. It could be a hardware fault.

really, the phone did'nt encounter any abuse and physically is fine. She just does'nt want the hassle of a "temporary" phone and tramping in and out to the meteor shop etc.

I've had my SGS since last November. It's been back twice!!

Faulty screen replaced twice. Display module replaced twice. Cosmetic housing replaced the second time. And something else was done first time but I forget what.
If your wife's phone is running the stock firmware then I'd send it back. I wouldn't say it's a software fault.

If it is running stock when you get it back, I`d suggest you put a new ROM on there, she`ll be well with you!

And if you're running a custom ROM be sure to flash back to stock before you send it back for repair

Translation for non-technical people:

Software = ROM, like windows 98/XP etc... on a PC...
Wife = Well that will take a long time to explain.....
Like anything electronic, eventually updates will come out, this can be done through Kies(software on your PC), a hape of ****e that can be used to upgrade stock ROM`s...
Who give a feck what Meteor says, its your phone...
When you flash(put) a different ROM on your phone,e.g another ROM can be one that has less bloatware(crap you don`t need)on it, hence making it faster, also other tweaks here and there overall make it better, these ROM are usually updated every now and again and also when Samsung release there official update.
All custom ROM`s say "USE AT YOUR OWN RISK" but if it virtually impossible to brick(break) your phone.
Impress a wife = Well if you do this, your in!!

You can go back to stock ROM if you need to send it back..

He meant to update it via Kies. Thats the way to get the official Samsung software. That won't void any warranty.
But I'm telling ya that it won't turn out to be a software issue. The phone was fine for months on the same software.
Send it back and get them to repair it.

Ok guys....been running the new jvh Gingerbread(2.3.3) rom on my SGS for a few days now and i can honestly say its great. Its almost as fast as the last of the Froyo roms but its smoother, better battery life and has a lot more featues.

I also got TW4 from the new SGS 2 installed and thats sweet.

For anybody thinking of flashing it, it prefers a nice clean base.
ie.1 Flash stock jm9 with odin, (can be got from www.samfirmware.com)

2.format internal sd card ( back ur stuff up if u need to )

3. Flash CF-ROot 3.2 kernel with odin and let boot.

4. Place custom rom on your sd card

4. Boot into recovery and flash custom rom from CWM.

For anyone that doesnt follow the above....well....stay well away from flashing !!!

Happy flashing !

You are not correct here mate.....firmwares can go bad at any time and might need to be reflashed. System files can get corrupted the same as it can on a PC.

Id advise check the "lost.dir" folder on the internal sd card. If there are ANY files in here, some system files have got corrupt and the firmware might need to be reflashed.

I Don't look at the Darkyy thread .....Darkyy rom always one step behind and I wouldn't support him after seeing the attitude Joel has on xda.

Darky doesn't really have anything to do with this ROM though. It's by Ficeto who works along side Darky.
I won't be flashing anything by Darky again either I'd say. This base ROM has all I need and is super fast and smooth

Jesus, Darky`s attitude is nothing compared to the lads at Insanity, lol. I`ve been so close to giving it right back to them, 80% or so of there way`s of dealing with people is wrong, BUT they are good at what they do.

With Darky he`s trying to please everyone if they want something, he`ll try and do it no matter how pointless it is, you just can`t please all the people all the time.

Sorry. I wasn't very clear. I didn't mean I'm not flashing any more of Darky's ROM's cos of his attitude but because I'm so impressed with the Ficeto base ROM I don't want a custom one.

So it's all good? Did you flash with lagfix enabled? GPS locks almost instantly at times. But just a little while ago then it took about 20 seconds to lock. Still great though.

You won't need an *AHEM* ROM now. Any app on there that you don't want you can uninstall with Titanium Backup.
Or you can always use the *AHEM**Nitrality* app from market to get/delete stuff.

Hmmm a red theme, I had a blood red theme while on 8.3, it looked better than it did on the phone, lol, well restoring apps now, it might take a while..also the market was fast as hell loading up, for the time being I can say that this is faster than Insanity, not just a little but a lot!
I`m kind of having second thoughts about going to Insanity, I`ll just have to keep an eye on it..

JKays themes are minimal with the mods guys have been asking him for....notification bar, ext powermenu, battery mod etc.

If you have stock framework it will flash straight from cwm. If you have had another theme on your current rom, download the restore files, flash them with cwm to gett the stock theme back and then flash the theme file.

I have the HTC gold plus...i like it!
