Has someone figured out MMS on T-Mobile in the USA? - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

I've found instructions on their site, and various other places, but no joy. I can make GPRS connections and send/receive SMS just fine, but MMS simply times out.

mms setting tmobile usa
i might be able to help ill post tomorrow with the settings

T-Mobile MMS
First... In order for you to receive MMS messages, your GPRS has to be connected to wap.voicestream.com
2nd in your MMS application you need to point the MMS application to use the wap.voicestream.com profile.
3rd. The gateway address is listed as 216.155.165.050 well.. I'm here to tell you .. that leading 0 messes everything up, just get rid of it and use 216.155.165.50 instead.
This should get you connected.

I'm unable to connect to wap.voicestream.com, so it seems I need to get them to authorize it...
What is the server address to put in the MMS settings? I have:
http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms

Authorize
Yeah.. Have them set you up and let them know that you have a device that uses Picture Messaging.

Well, that works if I manually connect to the WAP gateway and set the MMS software to use "The internet" as the connection. Thanks!
Any ideas on how to make it auto-dial the WAP connection when it needs to, so I can leave the normal gateway as the internet default? Otherwise I have to switch it manually every time I want to use the VPN.

With these settings, it's still not working for me. What should I put for the port number?

Use port 9201

Are any of you getting free internet anymore? I stopped using my phone for a while, but I haven't gotten free internet in a while and its buggine me. Someone suggested signing up for t-zones and then using wap.voicestream.com, but I don;t want to waste the money unless I have to. Thanks.

Port 9201 worked! Thanks, imagine_einstein!!

O2 MMS not sending out

Sorry if this has been answered before (but I can't find a solution).
I have loaded latest o2 rom in corporate mode and entered the MMS config but all I get is :
"Unable to send your message(s). Your message(s) will remain in the Outbox."
The settings I have are:
For MMS settings
server O2UK
193.113.200.195
port 9201
server address: http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002
I have a wireless connection at home and am not sure what MMS should connect through (connect via choice in settings).
Anyone have an idea or had the same problem?
Steve
i have had the same problem. never figured out how to get it to send, despite trying lots of things in connection settings, so gave up in the end.
would be interested to hear the answer tho! )
Use your gprs operator settings.. You cannot have any other connection...
hey here are the O2 settings that work for me to enable sending of MMS Messages
in MMS Configuration under servers i have
Server Name O2UK
Gateway 193.113.200.195
Port number 9201
Server address http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002
Connect via My Work Network
Then in settings under the connections tab click on Connections
Add a new modem connection under My Work Network
This should be called something like o2 Active connecting using Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)
Access point wap.o2.co.uk
username o2web
password password
leave everything else as default.
This should let you send MMS Messages, it works for me!
Thanks mjames_84 those settings are working now.
Hope it helps others too.

ah... this might be the problem - i do
i already have a connection setup in both "My Connections" and "My Work Connections"
is there no way around this?
tried deleting the other connection in "My Work Connections" and yup - MMS sends fine now. not sure what i'll do when i need that connection again, but for the moment - yay, MMS fun
One thing I have noticed ....
Even with the settings above - I cannot get MMS to send with "WAP 2.0" selected (default setting) under MMS configuration
As soon as I select WAP 1.2 they send straight away
Anyone else noticed this ?
Hmm I'm not 100% sure on this, but I think if you want to use WAP2.0 you have to specify a different port. I seem to remember that when using personal mode instead of corporate it was set up to use WAP2.0 and the port was different to the settings I had previously written down from my old XDAII....I still used the settings from my XDAII cause I know that they worked.
Can anyone (mad enough) running the full personal installation with o2 Active find out what port is used my default when using WAP2.0 for sending MMS Messages?
Port number for WAP 2.0 is 8080
Thanks Lord Buckingham
Does anyone know what the difference is between WAP 1.2 and 2.0? Is 2.0 faster? better? more secure?

But even with port 8080 selected I still can't send MMS with wap 2.0 selected - yet with 1.2 I can send them via port 9201 or 8080 ! the port number was the first thing I changed when I had problems , from the default 8080 to 9201 (which seemed to be the obvious choice ) so it seems that wap 2.0 just doesn't work for me
very strange ! I'd be interested to know if anyone is using 2.0 successfully (just out of curiousity)
I sent one near the start, but had to reduce the pic size below 100K or something, if I recall....
Anyone confirm what the limits are on O2?
I still cannot get it to send using any of the above settings or the original ones that o2 active install. If I use the o2 3g contract sim that came with it then it sends with NO PROBLEM whatsoever, BUT I don't use my contract sim ever, I use a o2 online sim which I have used for years.
Any ideas?
Is the settings different for PAYG and for CONTRACT ?
If so then I need the settings for PAYG please guys, can you help?
if you are using an old "on line" SIM I suspect that it might be one of the old Genie internet SIMs, so the settings may be different. Try setting the device up as pay and go, so change the APN to "payandgo.o2.co.uk" , username "payandgo", password "password", all the other settings should be the same. If this fails, climb into a large bottle of red wine, sometimes its the only way :wink:
Hey, i couldnt get it to download a message and the fix above worked.
Im assuming that as it connected to the 3g network that it charged me for d/ling the message yeah?
can it to be set to do it when its synced with the computer or in a wifi area?
Cheers

Got mine working with WAP 2.0 !!
The settings I have are:

Port 8080
Server address: http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002
Connect via: The WAP Network

T-Zones USA

I'm not sure if any of you have had this problem.
I've been using t-zones for my imate jam for more than a year to surf the web and IM my friends. A few weeks ago it stopped working and I finally got fed up and called them to see what the problem was. After being on the phone for more than an hour trouble shooting with them, they finally told me that they updated the system.
They said the t-zones connection no longer supported port 80 connections (internet connection). This explained a lot since I am able to connect to t-zones, but not get any content from my browser.
Has anyone had this same problem? Is there a way around it besides getting the $20 Internet Feature from t-mobile?
Try to put this into the HTTP proxy setting:
HTTP proxy: getmorespeed.voicestream.com port 8080
Hope this will work out for you.
And also, its not longer $20, now its $30, they bundle it with Hotspot. No more option to have just the GPRS.
This kinda defeats the whole point of having a PDA phone for me if I can't get cheap internet on it. For $30 I'd expect to get an EDGE connection, not some crappy 5kbs connection.
Oh well.
so, the proxy above doesn't work out for you?
I still have the t-zone for $6 month and my connection still works so far with the proxy above.
well I'll have to call tmobile and have them activate my tzones again (I hate paying for unusable services) I'll keep you posted with any updates. Are you able to use the wap.voicestream.com still or does that one no longer work for you?
You can do it on-line in the T-Mobile web site. Just re-check the T-MobileWeb option and tomorrow morning it will start working again.
If it does not work out, then you go back to the T-Mobile web site and uncheck the T-Mobile web again. And the changes will be effective the following day. Then you will pay 1/30 times $6 for that 1 day service.
I still use wap.voicestream.com with the proxy setting I mentioned above.
Generally I can browse the web, and I can sync to my company Exchange server.
for some reason the check box in grayed out and I'm not able to check the stupid box. I'll wait till tomorrow to see if there is any change.
Thank You... That worked for me...
ok so I've got t-zones back up and running and I've set the address to getmorespeed.voicestream.com but I'm not sure what the port 8080 is? I searched through all my settings and was not able to find anyhting that looked similar to this. does anyone have a screen capture of it to give me a better idea where to look?
I think you set it wrong.
The access point name (APN) in the GPRS setting is still wap.voicestream.com
After you set that up, then you go to the Proxy Setting, and add the HTTP proxy: getmorespeed.voicestream.com and when you click Advanced, you will see the default proxy port number is 80. Change it to 8080.

T-Mobile USA MMS & XM6r3

I have a T-Mo USA MDA with XM6r3. I am not receiving any MMS messages. If I try a send and receive in the MMS messages inbox I get an error synching. Regardless of whether it is supposed to sync or not, I am not getting any MMS messages.
This is what I have setup;
Gateway - 216.155.165.50
Port - 9201
Server address - http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
Connect via - T-Mobile MMS (other choices are My work, my isp, work, secure wap, the wap, the internet)
Sending Size Limitations - 300K
Wap Version - 2.0 (1.2 also available)
Does this sound right? Anything else I should be doing?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
This is what I use.

Thanks. I have also tried 8080 and a few others without any success. Anything else?

Download network wizard and copy cab file to phone. Delete all current connection settings including MMS settings and then install Network Wizard and run it. Select USA as the country and T-Mobile as your carrier and it will automatically configure it all for you and it will work afterwards. What it does is automatically downloads your settings from the network for a painless setup.
Do you have any internet plan?
had the same problem as you and found out that my internet settings were wrong. Once I put in the correct info, everything was working fine.
I use the 5.99 plan proxy.

You are right about that, but not giving him any information. Network Wizard takes care of everything you just mentioned short of paying for your data plan.
Um... theres no USA option in network wizrd just installed it. A little insight would help.
Thanks to all for the help. Now I can send and receive MMS messages!

Cannot access Gmail through native email app

After setting up access to my Gmail account through the native email tool, when I do a send/receive, I get and error saying:
"Cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings, tap Settings. etc..."
The only time I can do a successful send/receive is when my X1 is connected to my laptop - then I get all my emails. I have already appplied Windows Mobile 6.1 Hot Fix for Sending POP and IMAP E-mail.
I suspect some settings might be wrong - everything else is working fine. Am even getting 3G in SoCal using AT&T on MediatNet. My settings are as follows:
Access point name: wap.cingular
Domain: <blank>
Proxy Setting
Proxy Server: wireless.cingular.com
HTTP: wireless.cingular.com:80
WAP: <blank>
Secure WAP: <blank>
Socks: localhost:1080
Could anyone help? Thanks in advance.
almost certainly its because you are using a WAP connection.
I've never been able to use POP or SMTP on any phone through a WAP connection.
Try using the APN for cingular full internet
a quick google comes up with:-
APN: isp.cingular
User: [email protected]
Pass: CINGULAR1
but don't quote me, and you may need to check with cingular whether they need to change something their end to enable you to use that APN
Im pretty new to email on my phone but i had the same problem i.e. if i was on wireless i could get mail but if i connected via gprs i would get the same error, can not connect etc, i had to set up and new account with the same details as the account which would send and recieve via wirless and tell it to connect via t-mobile internet as there wasnt an auto option, so i now have two accounts for the same email one accesses via the internet and one via t-mobile internet, you can change this if you edit account setup.
Not sure if this is your problem or if i have read it wrong.
Hope this helps
Hi Masseur,
Thanks for the pointer. I did try but looks like it made no difference. Not sure what's wrong from my settings.
Anyone else has seen this? Would appreciate any help. Thanks.
Folks,
Someone in another forum pointed me to the solution. As it turn out, gmail doesn't work off proxys with AT&T. The automatic setup for AT&T had the proxy checked. All was needed is to take out the proxy and just keep the http settings. Working now!

I too am looking for the settings, specially for MMS. Internet and SMS seem to work fine but MMS is a 'no-go.' Oh, I too am on WM6.5... and does anyone know what happened to T-Mo's configuration pages? Now it's a pay service?!?!
yea i need these settings too can someone post them on this page??
these settings are readily available on the internet.
If anyone gets charged any fees for using this dont complain to me. this is not exactly the best setup but it does work. all it is is the tzones proxy work around with a step or 2 added nothing that hasnt been posted before. but still its not my info i'm just passing it along.
In Settings/Connections/GPRS/T-Mobile Data:
Tmobile Data Connects to: WAPNetwork
Access Point: wap.voicestream.com
Add a 2nd GPRS option:
T-Mobile Data 2
Connects to: Work
Access Point: wap.voicestream.com
T-mobile internet
connects to : internet
access point: wap.voicestream.com
T-Mobile MMS
connects to : T-Mobile MMS
access point: wap.voicestream.com
Then create TWO Proxies:
Settings/Connections/Proxy
First Proxy:
Name:Tzones Proxy
Connects from: WAP Network
Connects to: The Internet
Proxy: 216.155.165.50:8080
Type: HTTP
Second Proxy:
Name Tzones Proxy 2 Connects from: Work
Connects to: The Internet
Proxy: 216.155.165.50:8080
Type: HTTP
after all of these settings have been completed install this cab http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...8&d=1253220068 and reboot your device

Access point: epc.tmobile.com
Everything is blank Priomary and Secondary DNS are 0.0.0.0
I have used internet2.voicestream.com for access point as well, but do not notice any difference anymore.
