Hi,
I am having problems with sending MMS messages with sound attachments. On the Sharp MX20 and Samsung P400 phones, the sound is automatically played upon receiving the file but on the Nokia 3200 and 6100 phones, the MIDI file is saved as a seperate attachment and must be manually activated. Has anyone an idea why this would be?

Hi Ray,

Do you include a SMIL file in your MMS messages? (You need to if you want anything to auto-play on various devices.)

What does the SMIL file look like?

How are you encoding the MMS message ... does the content type field have a start= parameter pointing to the SMIL file?

Hi Bruce,
Thanks for your reply. I did include a SMIL file with the transfers. Please look at the example below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<smil>
<head>
<layout>
<root-layout width="128" height="160"/>
<region id="Region" width="110" height="135" left="0" top="0"/>
</layout>
</head>
<body>
<par dur="3s">
<img src="samsung_p400_mms_1.gif" region="Region"/>
<audio dur="3s" begin="0s" src="sound.mid" />
</par>
<par dur="3s">
<img src="samsung_p400_mms_2.gif" region="Region"/>
<audio dur="3s" begin="0s" src="sound.mid" />
</par>
<par dur="4s">
<img src="samsung_p400_mms_3.gif" region="Region"/>
</par>
<par>
<text src="LFTW1.txt" region="Region"/>
</par>
</body>
</smil>

And the MMS message is sent via HTTPS to an MMSC gateway using standards such as SOAP and MM7 protocol. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
