Help Me Humpa

Hello humpa, i've uploaded your mms server to my website and it seems like it is working pretty good. Right now whenever i try to upload something to pixplace(your mms server) it says that it failed, however it really does work. But when i try to send a picture to another phone, it also says that it failed and doesn't go to the phone, it ends up in the server. How can i fix this.

Right now i am using a sch-u740 and the strings that i have changed in the phone are:

PIC_MSG_SERVER:A> http://mms.vtext.com/servlets.mms
~to~
PIC_MSG_SERVER:A> http://mysite/mms

other things that i can change are:
MMS_USERNAME_COM:A> 8603197610@vzw3g.com
MMS_PASSWORD_COM:A> vzw
PIC_MSG_SERVER_T:A> http://vzpix.com/servlets/mms
PIC_MSG_SERVER_D:A> http://211.232.66.170/mms
^^those are the defaults in the phone

Thanks humpa!

I assume you changed your pic msg server to http://mysite/mms/send.php, right?

I'm not sure about not getting a message sent confirmation, that could be the way the 740 handles the response, or it could be an error in my script, but an error that doesn't affect the script from saving properly.

To determine what is wrong, you can try a few things.

1. change your setting to http://www.humpa.com/humpa_mms/send.php and see if that gives you the message sent message (my test/demo page won't forward to an email/phonenumber, so don't bother trying that.
2. try the send_test.php file. unzip the send_test.zip and put the send_test.php file in your mms folder and point your browser to it (don't send to it, just go to the send_test.php from internet explorer). See if you see an error message.

For your mail issue, unzip the mail_test.zip and put the mail_test.php file in your mms folder and point your browser to it. Tell me what it says/what happens.

Okay, well i did those two tests, and they both came back with no errors. I also realized that in the config.php file the email that i told it to be sending to, wasn't actually an email address.

Now i can send pictures to an email address from my phone and it says "message sent" however when i try to send one to another phone it says that it failed. (keep in mind it also says this when i upload to pix place[mms] and it really works) So i really have no ideas left. I think that it may be the settings in which i told it to use the pic server, because on the u740 you go through a secret dialog window to customize everything as opposed to seem editing everything, and there are a few that i could of used and i wasn't sure if they were correct. Right now i am using

you should be able to send to 10digitnumber, so long as you have that setup correctly in your config.php

well i misread the config.php file and i had my mobile phone number there before the @vzwpix.com, so i changed it to just "@vzwpix.com".

Also, i tried sending it to your test server, and it said that it failed, however it worked. I also can recieve picture messages from people (all i've tested is verizon) but cannot send them.

I'm officially puzzled.

Okay everything is officially resolved. You can now add this to supported phones if you wish.

The instructions to change the pix server are messaging> settings> picture-video message> *> 740667>MMSC Domain> Your Humpa MMS server address!

Thats it, and just keep in mind that it says that sending failed, however it really does work.

But when you send to an email address, you do get a message sent success?

There is a small function in my code that is responsible for sending the message received code to the phone. The fact that the phone reads it correctly when you are forwarding to an email address as opposed to forwarding an email address is strange.

Is that what is happening?

Well now that i've changed all of the settings, when sending to an email it also gives me an error. I'm not sure which setting that i changed that caused this, but it may be something to look into.

I was just wondering, i am trying to get it to work to send to other cell phones besides verizon (i have verizon) and if we were to add another line to the config.php, would this work...

No, with that code it would simply use the one you put second.
There is no way to determine what carrier someone is using - my code simply sends an email. If the email address is invalid, it will simply bounce back to the email address that is in the From field (the From field of the email that my code sends out - it is the admin_email that you filled out in the config.php).

The way real MMS servers work is that they pay for service - they are actually connected to the provider's cell phone MMS network somehow. We get around it by simply sending the mms message as an email, the email arrives at the provider and then the provider puts it on their MMS server and sends it to the phone.

I would use the provider you use the most. And then for the other providers, just put the persons phone's email address in your phonebook.

Thats really a bummer. I wish there were some easier way to send to other providers. Now, i know close to nothing about PHP but would there be any way to write a code that does what i said. Basically write an email to other providers as well as verizon? If it's too much of a pain to research can you point me in the right direction?

Also, as of right now people from other services besides the service i am using cannot send me messages, is that right? Or is something wrong?

I've gone back to defaults, but pixplace does not work =/ I'll check to see in the morning if i can still send and receive from people.

I guess messing around with this stuff is one of the many risks =P

Humpa, i hate to sound like a broken record, but i am trying to figure out how we can set up a humpa MMS server that will be able to use other providers. Now since you said that there is no way that you can get the code to send to multiple suffixes at once, perhaps we could make our own.

Is there any way that we could write a code in which you put the suffix of your choice, say @humpa.com, and then from there a code would handle the incoming message and then from there dispatch the message to all of the services until the right one is reached. Much like how a real MMS server works.

Thanks.
