Use Rich's tool. Works like a charm. It installs the carrier bundle for you that programs mms.

Although that does bring something up Rich. I notice that sometimes on Metro some pictures dont go through. I'm thinking its because of max message size. If I'm not mistaken, the max message size is set to approx 1mb compression, where Metro max message size is 500k. Does this make sense what I'm saying Rich?

yes,it will depend on the phone and service its sent from,and how that is set up,obviously if a pic is either not converted to a multimedia message or is sent to large it will fail,and as you know not all carriers have the same requirements as to multimedia as far as size and such.you can play around with the max message size if you are commcenter patched and see if you can adjust it,but really if its metro or cricket,the work is already done,i have them both set as large as is acceptable for the carrier.

also even if everything is setup correctly mms is bound to fail from time to time,no way around it.

5.1.1 iPhones Outgoing MMS never fails, but is failing from time to time common on 6.0.1?

Will Marley 183rd's MMS package work for IOS 6.0.1? and yes for androids on MetroPCS i usually set the max to 500k.

Okay so basically, the MMS fix i currently have installed for 5.1.1 has to be tweaked in the filesys for 6.0.1?

Carrier.pri?
Version.plist?
Carrier.plist?

i cant say, because i have never looked at his "mms fix" you can check your mms settings in the carrier.plist but where this is located is in more than place,for instance a carrier bundle loaded via .deb file will be stored in a different place in the phone as one loaded thru ipcc injection. so you only safe bet to see the bundle your phone is using is to nav to var/mobile/OperaterBundle.bundle

when you re-write from there it the phone will respect the changes as long as you are cc patched.

Yes i Navigate through the raw system file to check the Carrier bundle settings, and by "Operaterbundle.bundle" you mean the Selected Carrier such as Pageplus, Cricket or MetroPCS right?

Cause in my MetroPCS carrier bundle I'm seeing my Max Bitrate at 15360000

SMSSizeInBytesSentAsMMSInstead - 973

iphonemms.apple.com/iphone/uaprof-2MB

Im tryna narrow it down to what i have to tweak with and yes its the cc is patched

you can adjust max char size,but if its already over 160 then its a carrier problem not a phone prob.

Rich, I have only ever used your tool. I just edited my max message size from 1,228,800 to 500,000 and now i have just sent 3 photos without any problems!

i guess metro does not allow larger file sizes than 500,000?

i will test it for the next few days to make sure i get no Red exclaimation marks
