Hello there,
I have just got MMS and GPRS working on my O2 XDA. Very happy about this! I phoned up O2 and verified that MMS was enabled on my account, which it was. (I am billed by O2 theirselves as my service provider, not sure if that makes a difference)
Here is how I did it (Note, I am using WM2003, your results may differ if you use PPC2002)
Setting up GPRS
- Start > Settings > Connections > Connections
- Under My Work Network > Add a new modem connection
- Enter a name: <Enter anything, I called mine GPRS>
- Select a modem: Cellular Line (GPRS)
- Access Point Name: mobile.02.co.uk
- user name: web
- password: web
- leave advanced as default
- Click finish
- Click ok to go back to connections menu
- At bottom tab, select advanced > select networks
- Change both pull down menus to My Work Network
That has set up your GPRS connection. To connect to it manually, press the little umbrella symbol that shows your connection and select connect to GPRS. Once it has connected the arrows will appear
Setting up MMS
- Download EZ Wap 2.5 from www.yorch.net
- Install
- Go into the EZOS EzWAP program (not the MMS one for now)
- Select Tools > Options
General
- Select your GPRS connection that you set up from the pull down menu (i.e mine is called GPRS)
- Connect Automatically: Ticked
- All others default
Connection
- Select Gateway as connection type
- Address: 193.113.200.195
- Port: 9201
- Connectionless Gateway: Unticked
- WTLS secured connection: Unticked
- All others default
Push
- Enable Push: Ticked
- Address: Leave empty
- Port: 2901
- Connectionless push gateway: Ticked
- WTLS secured connection: Unticked
History/Cache and Identification can be left as default
MMS
- Message Server: http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002
- Sender Address Type: Phone Number
- Sender Address: Your telephone number, in the format +44... (i.e +447793 etc etc)
MMS Options
- Message Expiry: Max
- Delivery Report: Ticked
- Read Report: Ticked
- Hide Sender: Unticked
Okay, I think about covers it, those settings work for me, I can send and receive messages on my XDA 1.
Any questions, please ask
Daniel
The bills will always say o2 unless you're with singlepoint or carphone warehouse
If the number ends in 3333 or 3543 you're with dyce. When it ends in 0202 thats the new geneva or gateway.

ive always had GPRS and mms owrking on my xda on PAYG
just on PAYG you cant surf the net with GPRS only WAP but you can use WAP to surf the net so all is good
dannay - mms on xda
do you have an xda 1 on pay monthly contract?
i've been trying in vain to get mms working on mine.
i'm running ppc2002 on my xda1.......................does anyone know how to get wm2003 running on it? (where do I get it and how do I go about putting it on?)
might be asking obvious questions - but im a newbie!
OK i have now sorted this out, to get your XDAII Vodafone UK MMS messaging to work follow these instructions:
Go to Start/settings/connections/connections/My Work Network/add a new modem connection:
Enter a name for your connection: wap gprs
Select a modem: cellular line gprs
Tap Next
Access point name: wap.vodafone.co.uk
Tap Next
User name:user
Password: user
Tap Finish
Go to the active screen tap on messaging/media messaging
Tap tools/option
Go to the servers tab and make a new server:
Servers Name: Vodafone
Gateway: 212.183.137.12
Server address: http://mms.vodafone.co.uk/servlets/mms
Tap ok
Go to the preference tab:
In the connect Via box on the drop panel select My Work Network
In the Connect to Server box the should only be vodafone from the drop panel
Tap ok
And it works!!.
I followed the first part
[Go to Start/settings/connections/connections/My Work Network/add a new modem connection:
Enter a name for your connection: wap gprs
Select a modem: cellular line gprs
Tap Next
Access point name: wap.vodafone.co.uk
Tap Next
User name:user
Password: user
Tap Finish ]
But I'm lost on the next part
Go to the active screen tap on messaging/media messaging
Tap tools/option
Is it available on this Orange model?
I'm using the Orange version of the XDA II (SPV M1000) on my UK Vodafone Sim Card
Can anyone help?
Thanks
The Orange SPV M1000 does not have a MMS composer so I had to run the installer I found elswhere on this forum to do this.
Once done I could complete the set up and also use the internet explorer.
Installing the MMS program allowed me access to the setting for WAP aswell as MMS. So I could now adapt it for any network.
Gents, I was on the verge of stomping my XDA2 when I found your thread. It Works!!! many many thanks!!!
me too! I've had my xda for 2 days now and thanks to your threads I've upgraded to WM2003 SE - created my own Extended Rom selection - and got MMS working ! Thanks Everyone involved!
Hi guys,
I'm giving my sister my old XDA 2 for Christmas (finally have the very slow XDA exec!) I've unlocked it and have a Vodafone PAYG sim card installed - running fine. I just need the connection settings so I can enable it to go online and send Media messages. Any one have a clue? It would mean so much to me - and I'll make a donation to the site if any tips work on my old phone.
cheers
Will
Voda settings
To set up Internet access on the device:
1. Click on START.
2. Click on Settings.
3. Click on Connections at bottom of screen.
4. Click on Connections icon at top right of screen.
5. Under ISP click on Add a new modem connection.
6. Enter a name for the connection (e.g. Internet).
7. Under Select a modem, choose Cellular line (GPRS).
8. Click Next.
9. Under Access point name type internet (note: this is case sensitive).
10. Click Next.
11. Under User name type web (note: this is case sensitive).
12. Under Password type web (note: this is case sensitive).
13. Click Finish.
14. The QTEK is now configured to use Vodafone GPRS.
Double check that the device is using this modem connection as its default connection by going into ‘Manage existing connections’ (Start, Settings, Connections, Connections), and ensuring that the black bullet point is next to the account that you have just created.
Setting up MMS:
Go to the messages section (Start, Messaging) and browse to the MMS inbox (using the drop down box labelled inbox in the left hand corner of the screen).
Select Menu (bottom right of screen) and select MMS Configuration.
The device should already have an account present and on the first screen the tick boxes that are checked are for your own personal choice (the ones on this device have ‘retrieve messages immediately’, ‘download on home network only’, and ‘save sent messages’ ticked.
On the Servers tab you should have a ‘Contract MMS’ account already created. If this is the case you’ll need to select the account and choose ‘Set as Default’.
If you do not have this account already created you should choose ‘New’ and enter the following details:
Server name: Vodafone MMSC
Gateway: 212.183.137.12
Port Number: 9201
Server Address: http://mms.vodafone.co.uk/servlets/mms
Connect via: The WAP Network
Sending Size limitation: 100k (recommended – but you may change this if you wish)
WAP Version: WAP 1.2
By the way.....
If the GPRS fails to connect first time you may need to click the antenna icon near the signal reception and 'turn on flight mode'. This will disable the phone recption. Then click again and 'turn off flight mode' to reactivate the phone reception. It should then connect ok (by going into Internet Explorer and trying to get to a web page of your choice).
Hi
This are the setting that you need:
Make or edit a connection under My isp
APN: internet
Password: web
Username: web
Make or edit a connection under My Work Network this is needed for MMS
APN: wap.vodafone.co.uk
Username: [email protected]
Password: user
Go to your messanger and configure the MMS Configuration under server make or edit the server:
Gateway: 212.183.137.12
Port Number: 9201
Server Address: http://mms.vodafone.co.uk/servlets/mms
That is all you need good luck and merry christmas.
Ciao

thanks!!
Thanks guys, worked a treat. I've donated 10 euros to the site.

Hello Everyone/Rambo6 ... I'm a newbie to this forum. Please help before me I give up on my 8125 ...
I have an unlocked cingular 8125 using tmobile service. I have not been able to get MMS to work yet (I'm pretty sure my settings are correct). I've been spending 3 days now on 4 different forums, but I still can't get an answer. I was really happy to see that Rambo6 (in one of the threads) got his to work, so I'm sure I've found the right place to get help.
I guess the questions are:
1) What am I doing wrong?
2) Do I need to flash with a TMO ROM? I tried to update the ROM from tmo website but I got an error, I think it was something like "invalid vendor" ... or something like that. I'm currently using the Cingular ROM. Phone & SDS works.
3) Does anyone have a step by step process on this? With pics would be awsome.
4) Is my phone not fully unlocked eventhough I can use the tmobile SIM for phone/SMS?
Here my ppc info:
ROM version: 2.25.11.1 WWE
ROM date: 5/11/06
Radio version: 4.1.13.12
Protocol version 4.1.13.12
ExtROM version: 2.25.102
my settings was based on (from tmo website):
wap.voicestream.com
216.155.165.050 in the Gateway field
8080 in the Port number field
http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms in the Server address field
WAP 2.0
I did spent time reading through this forum (and a lot on other forums). I apologize if this has already been answered. I did honestly tried to search 1st.
bump !
i myself have been searching aswell looks like its a common issue with the cingular 8125 .
um.. did you edit the media net connection to point to tmo? im not clear on the tmo settings, but i know on cingular, the mms settings uses the media net connection, if i have my edge on MY Isp it fails (im assuming it needs that proxy from MEdia net) so basically you will need the internet settings as well...
I used the following settings from the tmobile website. I have a feeling I need to use the tmobile ROM. I'm a little worried because I have not found on this forum how to verify if my device is actually cid unlock. From what I can tell I have a G3 (IPL/SPL 2.25) chip so there is an unlock tool for that. I just need a way to verify that cid unlock actually worked.
Anyway, I took a risk and tried to flash with the tmobile ROM and got "Invalid vendor ID". I've been brousing this forum for this, but haven't found an answer yet. I guess if some one know please tell me now ... I've been spending 3 days now (actually 4 now) reading & reading & reading. Would be nice to get an answer now. What's wrong? Do I need a tmobile ROM? Thanks!!!

Shoganmark,
I read your reply but I didn't absorve (spelling?) it very well. I'm a little tired ... have not had much sleep. After reading your reply again, I think (maybe) I know where your getting at. I'll think about it a little more to make sure I really do understand what you're saying before I ask anymore dumb questions. Thank for your reply.

wasnt really a dumb question... just had to get it figured out.. i am cingular and not sure what the tmo connections look like, but i assumed they worked in the same manner as cingular, i didnt know if there were 2 different edge settings on tmo like cingular.. and i may not have explained it the best, but i was trying to explain how cingulars connection worked so that maybe in understanding that it would help your mms problem...
Have you gotten it to work yet?
let me try to break down how cingular's works and make it a little more understandable, hopefully this will help you figure your tmo problem out..
On the connections tab cingular has 2 gprs settings
MEdia Net (uses a proxy server)
MY Isp (does not use a proxy)
Now by default cingular is set to MY Isp (due to wifi, wifi will not work if set to MEdia net due to the proxy server)
Then of course in the MMS folder settings is the MMS connection settings...
Now if the phone is set to my isp it will not send an mms message (im guessing due to the proxy server.. sounds like a pain in the a$$ yet?)
in order for me to send an mms i have to set the phone to MEdia net (im guessing again due to proxy)....
Hello ShogunMark,
Unfortunately I was NOT able to get MMS to work. I tried soft reset & power
down also. Anyway here's what I've done so far:
1) For Connections I use MEdia Net (setting up for internet)

Name for Connection: PictureMessaging
Select a modem: Cellular Line (GPRS)

This network uses a proxy ....: checked
# I see the following but didn't change it ... not sure what to
# set it to (and tmo instruction didn't say anyting about this)
Socks: localHost: 1080
2) For MMS profile:
based from:
http://tmobileus.wdsglobal.com/mms?...mobileNumber=&captchaEnabled=true&service=mms

There's gotta be a stupid little thing I'm overlooking ... I'm just out of ideas now. This does not have anything to do with which ROM (Cingular vs TMO) correct? I don't think so, but then again there may be something hidden in the ROM.

help is what this community is for... no need to thank me
I'm not a WM5 and HTC Wizard expert yet (had the device less than a month and its my first WM device) so if i don't help i'm sorry, but i'll try anyways.
From what i know WM dosen't include MMS capabilities built in so my Wizard, T-Mobile MDA (US), uses something from ArcSoft to do that, i'm sure yours does too as HTC probably chose that. Have you looked into the settings for MMS Composer (the stuff by ArcSoft)?
The easiest way to do that i found was simply open up Pocket Outlook like you do to send an MMS -> Hit Menu -> Tools -> Options -> Tap "MMS" (may be named something else i can't say for Cingular's ROM) -> Hit "Servers" tab -> Ensure that new connection you set for MMS as T-Mobile told you via their site is the one MMS composer is set to use.
I can't imagine why it wouldn't work if that's set right... But post if that helps at all or not
Don't get rid of the 8125 though we'll all crack at it till it works
Hello Frazell,
You are correct about Arcsoft ... I did noticed that MMS uses Arcsoft (I saw that in the "About"). I went through the setup as stated at tmobile website already ... so I'm surprise too why it didn't work. Maybe this will give my helpers some more hints ... when I hit send:
1) The 1st pop-up widow is: "Connecting to PictureMessaging, Connecting to
GPRS" I didn't see any error here so I assume it's ok.
2) On top of the today screen, I see a yellow envelope with a gree arrow.
I assume that means it's trying to send.
3) After a little while, I see "unable to send message" pop-up.
4) Now, if I got to the comn manager, I see the "Data Connection" is active.
I think it turns on when I send a MMS. If this is true, then this connection
being on means I can get a connection via GPRS?
5) Another note that I don't think I've mentioned. I am using the prepaid
t-mobile plan. MMS is suppose to be provided with the prepaid plan
(25cents per pic), so I'm not sure if this is a problem. I've already
checked with t-mobile that SMS & MMS are activated on my account.
ps. I've been searching on differnet forums (howardforum, pocketpcaddict ....), and I see some other people have this problem also. Most of the posts I see never had a reply, so I don't know if they solved it or not.
1 more edit to add: Both my wife and I have the same phone with the same problem, so I don't think it's a hardware problem.
(edit: fixed spelling)
with prepaid can u browse the internet....... if not u will not b able to send mms messages
Yes, prepaid can have internet access (it'll be expensive thouth). Here's the service listed by t-mobile
Included services
* Nationwide long distance (including calls to Alaska and Hawaii)
* National roaming on the T-Mobile USA network
* t-zones (free shopping for HiFi Ringers, MegaTones®, wallpapers, and more)

im downloading a tmo us rom now... gonna pick apart the ext rom and see whats there.. hopefully i can come up with something to help you guys
ok, i found about 5 necessary cabs in the ext rom.. one makes the mms folder and some other reg settings, the rest makes the connections between internet and MMS.. i put a config text inside to show the order to install the cabs.. then reboot.. see if this solves your problem
Shogunmark,
I was not able to install the 3rd cab ("P_Generic_Conn_Settings.CAB") ... Got an "unsuccessful" installation. Should I continue
to install the rest?
my port is 9201 other than that everything else looks the same.
Help! - Has anyone else transferred their O2 xda Exec to Vodafone, or does anyone have a V1640 that they can check the settings for MMS with me?
I've changed over to voda, have loads of apps installed. Vodafone's business help line seem blissfully unaware of the extra settings inside the Messaging App on WM5 for MMS config.
Normal internet connectivity is ok, but at the moment I can't seem to download any new MMS messages. They arrive in the inbox and the size shows up, but I just can't download.
For the Connection details - Stangely, using the dedicated IP that the support team provided for the IP address of 212.183.137.012 doesnt work, when its on IP address is provided, it does try and access messages, but just can't download them.
Its got to a stage now, where they seem unwilling to help because its "not a handset they provide" despite me explaining that its the same mobile OS as dozens of other handsets and the settings will be exactly the same as on any WM5 based device.
The settings they can't seem to help with are those inside the messaging app on the menu "MMS Configuration" (see below)
----------------------------
Messaging > MMS > Menu >MMS Configuration

Can anyone help, its been several days now and its really annoying me!
Annoying, but here's how
Hi Derek,
I just got this working again after having the same problem as you. Here is my setup (based on WM6 on an O2 XDA Exec running on Vodafone) - and the trick you need to know is at the end:
Settings -> Connections, I created a new modem connection called "Vodafone MMS & Data" of type "Cellular line (GPRS, 3G)". Under this setting, I have created two connections, one called "3g data" and one called "3g Wap Connection".
"3g data" is set up with access point "internet", username "internet", and password (I think) also "internet"
"3g Wap connection" is set up with access point "wap.vodafone.co.uk", username "wap" and password "wap".
OK, so you have a connection with two options set up as a result of this. For 99% of your day-to-day browsing, you just leave the connection set to use "3g data" by default, but when you get the notification of an MMS message, disconnect any existing online session and then go in and select the "3g Wap connection" option, then tap-and-hold and select Connect. Once you're online with the Wap connection you can then go and download your MMS message.
Hope this helps,
Darren
Here's what to do
In Settings/Connections/Connections you should have one connection set up under My ISP for internet access:
Name: VF Web (or whatever)
Select a modem: Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)
Access point name: internet
user name: web
password: web
You should also have one connection set up under My Work Network:
Name: VF MMS (or whatever)
Select a modem: Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)
Access point name: wap.vodafone.co.uk
user name: wap
password: wap
Finally set up your MMS configuration to Connect via: My Work Network
That's how to link internet and MMS to the two separate connections.

I did indeed notice the date of the thread. However the advice given here was not the best solution. I was trying to set up MMS on my O2 Exec on a Vodafone sim for the first time a few days ago, and couldn't find a complete and proper solution anywhere. Thankfully I managed to work it out and posted it here in case it helps others. The Universal and WM5 are both still alive and kicking.
Thats ok mate, just joking
Thanks for your comment
