Getting MMS back on your iPhone 2G (bmobile) (manual way)

01) Download this (patched CommCenter)

02) SSH into your iPhone & navigate to 

where you will see your original CommCenter. Back that up. Then replace it with the downloaded CommCenter. 
03) When it is in place, right click & select properties & make sure the Octal is set to 0755

04) Then go to

& locate the M68AP.plist file. (You will need a .plist editor for this part. http://ipodrobot.comhas one) 

05) Copy the M68AP.plist file out of the iPhone & with the .plist editor insert 

the MMS code as seen above in between the microphone & opengles settings. Save this version & after backing up the original from the iPhone replace it with this edited version. 

06) Reboot iPhone. 

07) Once done go to

& for bmobile customers insert these settings into the fields. 
-APN: mms 
-MMSC: http://192.168.210.104/mmrelay.app
-MMS Proxy: 192.168.210.104:8080

08) Reboot once more.

09) That should be it. You should now have MMS on your iPhone 2G once again (if you had it before using ActivateMMS2G during the 3.0 days).

ActivateMMS2G brought MMS for 2Gs running 3.0 but was unable to be installed on subsequent iPhone OS releases (3.0.1, 3.1, 3.1.2). Hopefully Native MMS iPhone 2G from the iFoneGuide repository will bring this feature back to iPhone 2G owners. This along withTethering Patch 3G & Tethering Patch 3GS are Cydia versions of CommCenter hacks released by the iPhone Dev Team’s MuscleNerd. 
There are ways to do these hacks manually but they are considered “dangerous” and to be done by only advanced users.

We know many of our iPhone customers are eager for an update on our rollout schedule for Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS). We’ve been working for the past several months to prepare our systems and network to ensure the best possible experience with MMS when it launches – and that launch date is: September 25 for iPhone 3G and 3GS customers. MMS will be enabled through a software update on that day. 

We know that iPhone users will embrace MMS. The unique capabilities and high usage of the iPhone’s multimedia capabilities required us to work on our network MMS architecture to carry the expected record volumes of MMS traffic and ensure an excellent experience from Day One. We appreciate your patience as we work toward that end. 

We’re riding the leading edge of smartphone growth that’s resulted in an explosion of traffic over the AT&T network. Wireless use on our network has grown an average of 350 percent year-over-year for the past two years, and is projected to continue at a rapid pace in 2009 and beyond. The volume of smartphone data traffic the AT&T network is handling is unmatched in the wireless industry. We want you to know that we’re working relentlessly to innovate and invest in our network to anticipate this growth in usage and to stay ahead of the anticipated growth in data demand, new devices and applications for years to come. 

We thank you for your business and look forward to keeping you updated on our initiatives.

Released today via Cydia. Though I’ve tried it personally with no results. So far its pretty successful at bringing the MMS interface to a 2G iPhone in the Messages & Photos apps. Maybe its a local issue…

Update
After playing around with it a little more & some luck I was able to get it to work! For those wanting to have MMS on their iPhone (2G) (even though Apple said it would not be possible) these are the (bmobile (Trinidad & Tobago)) settings:

-APN: mms
-MMSC: http://192.168.210.104/mmrelay.app
-MMS Proxy: 192.168.210.104:8080

I’d like to thank my friend Zane for initially telling me about this being available in Cydia as well providing me with those settings, which took a little tinkering to get working properly. Also Kevon, who commeneted on this subject.

So it looks like Apple’s planning on holding an event for iPhone 3.0 OS March 17th along with showing off an updated SDK. This would fit nicely with their brief history of having a preview software event followed by a hardware refresh in June/July. As far as what we’ve been told of iPhone 3.0, here’s what we’ve got:

• MMS
• Tethering via Bluetooth and USB

We’re working hard to get some more information and know that our list above isn’t exactly thorough, but hey, it’s something! Plus, there has to be copy and paste, right?

Apple has approved the request by Swedish Carrier Telia to develop it’s own MMS app for the iPhone that will be available via the AppStore and can be used on Telia’s network. Apple has so far shown no intention of making this or a similar services/app available to US users as a native app on the iPhone.

Maybe this recent move by Apple and Telia is an indication that iPhone Software Developers that create MMS apps for the various Carriers and they will be supported via the AppStore. That is once the iPhone is authorized to be sold/serviced by that carrier.

That’s where Mobispine comes in. Mobispine have developed a MMS app for the carriers to use to provide MMS capabilities to iPhone users. The software will be distributed via the AppStore (once Apple approves) and has been made available for testing by the various authorized carriers that sell/support the iPhone. Maybe this is the software that Telia will be using.

AT&T has recently begun surveying some of its longer-term iPhone buyers asking what features they would most like to see added to the Apple handset.

The survey chiefly touches on post-purchase satisfaction with both Apple and AT&T and is described by AppleInsider readers as a follow-up to a similar survey from a few months ago, or shortly after the iPhone 3G launch.

It’s also said to be gauging reactions to iPhone firmware 2.1 and whether or not the update improved the phone’s features.

A single page of the survey, however, is committed just to judging which features customers would most likely to see added to the iPhone in the future. The questionnaire asks owners to pick the top five hardware or software add-ons they’d like to see and include many of the most prominent requests made in the community, including cutting and pasting text, built-in instant messaging, Flash/Java support and MMS messaging.

A handful of the items have already been partly or completely addressed. Users can already search contacts, for example, while it’s also possible to download ringtones from iTunes on a computer but not the iPhone itself.

Readers shouldn’t necessarily interpret this as a sign of Apple’s future direction with its multi-touch device; companies regularly poll their customers to determine the level of demand for particular features.
