every time i download opera mini, it does not allow me to recieve picture messages. sometimes nothing will come through at all, other times it will come through and give me the message that I need to recieve the picture but then it will never come through.

what can i do to get around this??? i really love Opera Mini.

I haven't encountered this problem! If I recall there has been a thread regarding this very issue not sure if the problem was ever solved though, I think it was in the 8100 sub forum

I can't even get OM work for me. The first time I tried installing it, it deleted my MMS permissions (unbeknownst to me). I called TMo and they had told me that they were mysteriously deleted and re-installed those permissions.

Give TMo a call and ask them to look into it.

so i'm calling them and letting them know that opera mini deleted my mms permissions? i'll try it =]

I'm using Opera Mini on my 8320 and also on my wife's 8100 and neither have ever had any issues like this.

that's what i thought.. but it doesn't hurt to try......... hope i can figure out how to fix this. I miss om =(

[mzcourtney]

maybe i will contact the opera ppl lol

From what I understand about your issue, you need to have a BB dataplan for MMS.

indeed i DO have a bb dataplan for mms =] my problems isn't that i never get them. its that i dont recieve them when i have opera mini installed =(

I had MMS issues awhile back, but found a workaround so all is good on that. Wondering if Opera Mini was the cause. Hmmmmm.....

When you call TMo, don't mention OM, just say that you're having problems with sending/receiving MMS messages. Then they won't refer you to the OM people.


I do miss my OM tho.

Thanks for the correction.

the problem is that blackberries are only allowed a limited amount of TCP/APN connections. MMS uses this and opera is set to use it as well.

The fix is to go into opera settings and change protocol from socket to http. Then just for a safety, do a battery pull or turn the phone off then on to reset connections.

You will then notice it takes a bit longer "connecting" before a page loads, but there will be no more conflict.

[rqb]

What are the differences in data usage if OM is set to http? It may resolve one conflict to allow receiving MMS, which is good, but what are the ramifications of using http instead of sockets? Anyone know for sure?

[mzcourtney]

Well i called tmo they were not able to fix the problem of not recieveing the mms and NOT telling them about om. however, i'm going to try and change the setting to http in a minute. I'll let you know if it works. =) Thanks you guys!

[mzcourtney]

so i changed the setting to http and the message comes thru, says not retrieved yet, i press retrieve now, and the image never comes thru. =(

[mzcourtney]

ok nvm i tried sending myself an mms again and it came thru =) thanks guys!!!!

download os 4.2.1.107 from tmobile
then delete vendor file
restart your phone and you should be able to send mms
