it's nearly to do with Vodafone GPRS/MMS....

Hi all, sorry to bother you with this one!
I got my O2 XDAII unlocked and used it with no drama at all with my Vodafone SIM. I then put the GPRS settings in and it worked fine with MSN Messenger and IE etc. I then put the MMS settings in and started sending and receiving picture messages perfectly. :lol:
The problem, i hear you ask....
Well, I got TomTom 3 and a program called POI Warner which is used to alert me of POI's (read, speed cameras :wink: ) and it wanted to connect to the Internet to update it's database. It always used to try once i'd dropped the XDA in the cradle. As something wasn't right somewhere, it used to lock up the XDA until it gave up trying and then it would release the XDA so that i could use it again. This all seemed to be because of the Activesync passthrough settings. :?
I set them as I should have (after reading on here what to do - thanks!) and then it worked fine. Still with me...??????
It seems that i can't send picture message anymore :shock:
I have all the settings from the other posts on here but somehow, my settings in the connections screen have gone loopy.
Can someone on Vodafone PLEASE PLEASE let me know what settings they have in the connections screen, be it two sets (My Work Settings and another) or (Vodafone GPRS and Vodafone MMS - as i used to have). And when you click the advanced tab at the bottom of the connection screens, which programs do you have for 'Programs that connect to the internet should use' and programs that connect to a private network should use'???
when you edit either of these, it comes up with ANOTHER connection screen - what you have got in there??
This is on top of the Server mentioned in the MMS composer screen that needs another mention of the same server in there!!!
If I can get this working with someone's help , I hereby promise to take a screenshot of every screen I have and put an idiots guide to getting this working up on the Web should I need it again!!
thanks in advance Guys!!

Firstly to clean things up a bit it'd look in the registry under [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ConnMgr\Destinations] and remove all but:
'The Internet'
'Work'
'My Work Network' - or whatever it was renamed to
'My ISP' - or whatever it was renamed to
Then resetup all the connections.....
Here are the settings I have, which work perfectly.
Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using:
Vodafone Internet (My ISP renamed)
Programs that automatically connect to a private network should connect using:
Vodafone Live! (My Work Network renamed)

Tytn won't download MMS

Hey folks,
Received notification of my first MMS since getting the Tytn. I selected "Download" and also "Send/Receive" several times, and it won't download the stupid thing.
I'm on Cingular, and here are the settings I entered manually, per Cingular's website:
Gateway: wireless.cingular.com
Port: 8080
Server: http://mmsc.cingular.com
Connect via: (I've tried "The Internet" and "Media Net" here)
Sending size limit 250k
WAP version: WAP 2.0
The following items are checked in Preferences:
-Retrieve Messages Immediately.
-Save Sent Messages
-Allow Delivery Report
Attempts before giving up: 4
Photo resolution: original
The file being sent to me is only 109k so I don't think it's too big by any means.
Does anyone on Cingular have any different settings?
Thanks.

Cingular MMS Settings
Hello, this is my first reply on this board so here it goes.
i had plenty of problems at first with cingular and mms working together untill i tried these settings which are pretty similar to yours besides the port #.
Server name: Cingular MMS
Gateway: wirless.cingular.com
Port Number: 80
Server address: http://mmsc.cingular.com
Connect via: My ISP
Sending size limitaion: 250k
WAP Version: WAP 2.0
Now a couple of explanations. ( to the best of my ability. please feel free to correct.)
server name: this is either the default name or you can create a new server name of your choice. I have gone as far as deleting the default server and creating the new name of Cingular MMS. Or for example you could put Joe Blows Server Or JBS for the new name whatever you like.
Gateway: has to be as is. (as far as I know.)
Port number: Although ther are several port numbers to use I have found that this number (80) is what actually made everything work.
Server address: has to be as is. (as far as I know.)
Connect via: whatever connections you have to connect to the internet you should have mms connect the same way.
Sending size limitation: 250k is the maximum. (If there is any way of getting mor plese let me know.)
WAP Version: I dont know the difference between WAP 1.2 and 2.0 except 2.0 sounds better.
Also under prefernces i have.
Retrieve messages imediately-checked
Download on home network only-not checked
Save sent messages-checked
Regect all messages-not checked
Allow delivery report-checked
Allow read report-not checked
Attempts before giving up-4
Photo Resolution-Origional
The only setting that I would think of be crucial is download on home network only. (for cost reasons. depending on plan. I guess.)
Other than that just make sure the little red arrow is on the server that you just configured or created and you should be set to go. if any one finds any of this info false please feel free to comment, otherwise this is what I have found to work on my htc tytn here in the usa on cingular and cingular UMTS. GOOD LUCK.....

correct, should be port 80, thats what mine is, and my max sending limit is 600...
here is another thought, why not extract the cab from the cingular extended rom that installs the MMS settings?

you also need to go thru the Cingular proxy server. set up the proxy server under Settings->Connections->Edit My Proxy Server for the connection you are using. under Advanced change HTTP to wireless.cingular.com also make WAP & Secure WAP 66.209.11.61 (leave the ports as they are).

The settings from Cingular website (https://www.cingular.com/support/deviceTutorials.do) is correct. However, I made 1 tweak:
In the "Connect via:" box, I put "My Work".
I created an additional entry in the "My Work Netwokr" (Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Connections) and put wap.cingular as the APN.
This way, when an MMS need to be sent or downloaded, the device will drop the 3G / GPRS connection and connect via the MMS setting. Afterwards, it'll connect back to the 3G / GPRS connection.

mine does that with the default setup, i stay on my isp, but if i send or recieve it automatically drops the connection and connects via media net, once its done it goes back to my isp

A few newbie questions

I'm in the UK and have got hold of a new O2 DXA Mini S.
I'm on the Orange Network in the UK and the unit works fine in everyway except for sending mms messages.
I can make call and send/receive texts but not mms messages.
Someone told me it was to do with the fact that even thought its unlocked there is a default setting in the rom with it being an O2 branded unit and the only way to be able to be able to send/receive mms messages would be to reflash it. Is this correct?
Secondly, yesterday I noticed on the 'TODAY' screen that I had a battery status notification that has now disappeared - all I have done is to remove some software from the remove programmes section - there was one entry in there that looked like it was something to with O2 settings.
Butr I cannot find a way of getting the battery status onto the 'Today' screen now.
Or are there any free progs about that I can install that will do the same thing ?- it seemed quite useful to have it on front screen.
I have somehow managed to get rid of all the O2 branded stuff from the phone - was the battery status on TODAY screen part of that?
Thirdly my friend has a unit and on the TODAY screen by the date, the day also is shown - eg thursday 23 november
all I can get is the date. Cannot find anyway of putting the day name onto the TODAY screen.
Lastly is there a way of restoring the unit to how it was as it came out of the box?
There were two setup options when I first turned the unit on - one was for O2 customers which I accepted, as I knew it would work with an Orange SIM - the other option was a more customised option - someone has told me I should have probably selected this in order to be able to send mms messages on my own network.
Thanks
Sorry for the confusing post

mms settings
in my opinion you should make a new connection.
let orange send you the settings.
this should solve this

I've got the orange settings but it won't let me send or receive mms.
I can send text and browse internet through Orange but I've noticed there is a default O2 setting within the mms settings that the system won't let me delete.
I imagine the rom would need to be reflashed??
Or does anyone know a way of using the orangemms service on an O2 phone with an orange sim in it?

Add a new server in the mms configuration and call it orange.
Make sure it has these settings

And make sure connect via = INTERNET often wrong

Tried that and still cant send

Just seems to connect via Orange GRPS
and if I try and set up one in the section : Settings/Connection / My work network and choose
select a modem: cellular line ( gprs)
access point name: orangemms
and leave rest blank
and select use server assigned ip address
This is what orange told me to do
It doesn't work either.
They siad its probably because I'm using an branded O2 phone ( even though its unlocked ) that I can't do the mms stuff ????
Thanks for help and contributions so far
text and internet work fine - just inabilty to receive or send mms

Have orange set up your account to send and receive mms?

Well if I put sim into my samsung d900 - i can send and receive pics ok.
They get sent ok - and if someone sends me a p[icture it just arrives with a text
( I don't have to download it or anything )
And on the O2 mini s I can do everything but send mms - ( text, calls, internet, wireless, gprs all work ok )
If I send a picture to mini s from another phone - I get text notification but it is unable to download it.
A friend has same O2 mini S on Orange network with same problem. A guy in Orange shop told him it is something to do with the ROM being made for O2 ??
I'm intersted to see if anyone in UK is using an O2 mini s on the Orange network and are able to send receive mms??

MMS Vodafone UK with WM5

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
Preferences Tab:
Retrieve messages immediately (ticked)
Download on home network only (unticked)

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

Orange UK MMS settings
I spent nearly 6 hours yesterday trying to get my MMS messages to send using Orange using my HTC Hero! I looked through all of the sites on-line and all of the many settings that were suggested, from the Orange website itself to ones like this. I finally found the problem! As I was sat in my office at home, I was using my broadband connection via wireless to setup my email, etc and realised that you can’t send (or receive the picture part of) MMS messages over the data network if wireless is enabled!
The phone must be trying to use the wireless network to send the data as it would with other data and only turns to the phone 3G/G+/HSDPA network if no wireless is connected!
