Bearer GPRS
I have entered some of these settings into the Connection that MMS seems to be using but I dont know where to put in the
IP Port and Server URL
Can any one help
Thanks
I don't know which version of windows your using as the MMS composer is different in WM2003SE. I can tell you how I got mine working and its a 2 stage process:
Part 1
1. Create a new connection by coing to Start->Settings->Connections and tap on the Connections icon.
2. Tap on the "Advanced" tab and then tap on the "Select Networks" button.
3. Tap on the lower one of the two "New..." buttons, i.e. the one below the "My Work Network" drop down menu.
4.0 On the "General" tab, enter a name of "Virgin MMS".
4.1 On the "Modem" tab, tap on the "New..." button.
4.3 Enter a name for the connection of "Virgin MMS", select a modem type of "Cellular Line (GPRS)" and then tap on the "Next" button.
4.4 Enter an access point name of "goto.virginmobile.uk" and then tap on the "Next" key.
4.5 Enter a user name of "user", ensure that all other fields are empty and then tap on the "Finish" button.
4.6 On the "Proxy Settings" tab, ensure that the "This network connects to the Internet" is NOT ticked" and then tap on the "ok" button in the top right hand corner of the screen.
4.7 In the drop down menu for "Programs that automatically connect to a private network should connect using:", change this back to "My Work Network" (or whatever was in this field before you started this process).
5. You can now exit from the Settings screens as Part 1 is complete.
Part 2
1. You need to go into MMS composer.
2. In WM2003SE you need to go into the "Tools->MMS Settings" option.
3.0 On the "Preferences" tab, in the "Connect via:" option, enter/select "Virgin MMS".
3.1 On the "Servers" tab, tap on the "New" button.
3.2 Enter a "Server name:" of "Picture Message"
3.3 Enter a "Gateway:" of "193.30.166.1".
3.4 Enter a "Port number:" of "9201". Don't worry if you don't have a "Port number:" field as the system will default to this anyway.
3.5 Enter a "Server address" of "http://mms.virginmobile.co.uk:8002" and then tap on the "OK" button.
3.6 Tap on the "ok" button in the top right hand corner of the screen.
That's the end of the two stages and you should now be able to send picture and video messages (I've tried both).
Two things to be aware of:
1. The send/receive does seem to take ages.
2. Don't try to send pictures which aren't JPG or BMP as they won't go and you end up thinking that there's a problem with your config. I speak from experience here.
GPRS settings on Vorgin?
Slightly Off topic but I'm trying to Use my xda 1 with virgin and am trying to get the GPRS set up and am struggling, is it essentially the same settings as these?
Many thanks
Nate :?:
The GPRS setting for internet access only involves 1 stage in order to set it up. It's almost exactly the same as the first part of MMS:
1. Create a new connection by going to Start->Settings->Connections and tap on the Connections icon.
2. Tap on the "Advanced" tab and then tap on the "Select Networks" button.
3. Tap on the upper one of the two "New..." buttons, i.e. the one usually below the "My ISP" drop down menu.
4.0 On the "General" tab, enter a name of "Virgin GPRS".
4.1 On the "Modem" tab, tap on the "New..." button.
4.3 Enter a name for the connection of "Virgin GPRS", select a modem type of "Cellular Line (GPRS)" and then tap on the "Next" button.
4.4 Enter an access point name of "goto.virginmobile.uk" and then tap on the "Next" key.
4.5 Enter a user name of "user", ensure that all other fields are empty and then tap on the "Finish" button.
4.6 On the "Proxy Settings" tab, ensure that the "This network connects to the Internet" is ticked and then tap on the "ok" button in the top right hand corner of the screen.
4.7 In the drop down menu for "Programs that automatically connect to Internet should connect using:", ensure that the "Virgin GPRS" entry is displayed.
5. You can now exit from the Settings screens as your connection set up is now complete. You shouldn't have to do any other config work to use the internet.
Ensure that when you try this connection that you don't have your XDA docked in its cradle or you won't be connecting via GPRS.
Happy surfing.
Thanks mate, thats done it. I have tried almost exactly that and didn't get it quiteright.
Appreciate the help.
Virgin MMS
Have entered this setup info into xda2 But it still wont connect and returns the following message
Dialed:gotovirginmobile.uk
Cannot connect for an unknown reason. To
check your connection settings and change
them if needed, tap Settings. If the
problem continues, reset your mobile device
according to your manufactures documentaion
and try again
Help
Thanks
If the above text is exactly what appears on your screen then your problem is easily fixed. It looks like your missing a full stop, i.e. "gotovirginmobile.uk" should be "goto.virginmobile.uk". This is the value you entered in step 4.4 of Part 1.
I tried removing the full stop on my M1000 and I got exactly the same error reported so this should hopefully sort the problem.
Virgin MMS
Sorry my mistake I had put goto.virginmobile.uk in at step 4.4
but omitted it from my previous post
Should the connection for MMS use the same one that internet explorer uses, that one uses one called MOBILE WEB GPRS that appears to have the same setup. Browsing on the internet works OK

i have created two GPRS connections in settings -> connections -> connections -> manage existing connections. but when i tap [G] icon at top status bar, a baloon which is popping up says: 'to connect to either the internet or work, set up a new connection in settings'. quite strange and i don't know how to make my connection shortcuts to show within this ballon? :-o on my previous iPAQ rx3715 with WM 2003SE it used to work fine...
If my memory serves me right, when I had my Blue Angel and wanted to manually connect to GPRS, I could click in the "G" icon in my title bar and I would get the option to connect to the GPRS setting that I had set up.
Now I have a T-Mobile Vario and WM5 - standard build etc..., but when I click that "G" I get the same message bubble titles "connectivity" , but with a message saying "To connect to either the internet or work, set up a new connection in Settings". Using the "connect" button in the SPB GPRS Monitor icon (on the title bar) connects with no worries.
I have tries adding a new connection in - now I have 2 that work perfectly when usign SPB, but not with the "G" icon.
Clicking the "G" icon must read the registry somewhere and look for the current GPRS settings, but I must be missing them.....hmmmm
HKLM/Comm/ConnMgr/Destinations/Providers........ all seems ok, but the "ConnectionGUID" specified in my connections is not found anywhere else in the registry!
Can anyone help?
thanks

I am also facing the same problem .. Cannot get the option to connect appear as in my previous Blue Angel ..
This creates problem for updating my RSS channels using SPB Insight which needs to have some connection in Connectivity bubble ..
Anyone found the solution?
ok - had my tytn (on vodafone) for a week now (infact we've got about 10 of them at work so I've been seting them all up). Had a few issues - no sms notification of voicemails (used the vodfone.net email/alerts service as per forum and works now), a strange issue where all handsets could send sms but would not receive 100% of them (from any network) (had to hard reset all the devices!!)
the main one I have struggled with is the connections.
I got my internet set up no problems pretty much strsight away.
I also got a vpn connection setup and working and then ran into the issue where you would open terminal services client and try and connect to one of the machines on the vpn and it would just drop the vpn connection straight away - turned out to be fixed by putting the servers I wanted to connect to via terminal services in the exceptions list and then ouila - i could open terminal services client - tell it to connect to the server i wanted and as if by magic the device would fire up the internet connection, then the vpn connection and then the desktop would connect!
brilliant I thought
Finally I turned my attention to getting mms working (it was enabled on the sims - I checked) - I noticed there was no mms server in mms service properties (under messaging) so created that.
Tried to send an mms to self and it just tried to send it and then it just would sit in outbox.
then I downloaded a cab of vodafone settings from one of the forums - mms now sent received fine but later discovered that vpn would not connect Finally I worked out that my exlusions had stopped working! Tried removing all the settings but it still wouldnt work. Searched to see if there was a registry key to enable this but couldnt find on. Finally after several hours I bit the bullet and did a hard reset. Set it all up again as previously (minus the vodafone cab) and all was well as again (but no mms again)
I then found the mms server settings on a forum and manually entered them and mms was working again - then discovered that If I tried to connect to the net it would use the wap connection under work (not the my isp one under internet even though settings were for progs to connect via my isp) - that I thought I could live with until I discovered that my vpn would try and connect and after a bit just fail!! (I'm guessing that the server that the wap connection uses doesnt allow vpn traffic whereas the one that the internet connection (gprs/3g) does)
So I'm really stuggling to get everything working together.
The only solution I have come up with so far is to put the wap connection as an additional connection under my isp and then switch to it when I want to send an mms (and I guess to receive one as well which is a bit useless, and i'm still not convinced of doing it this way).
Has anyone managed to get all of this working together!!! or am I just missing/misunderstanding something? Can someone explain!!?
here is a summary of what I have tried:
changed mms server to use "my isp" - wont send
as above but with mms proxy in for port 9201 - wont send
as above but changed to use "my work connection" - tries to establish vpn when sending mms
as above but removed proxies for http/s - tries to establish a vpn again
as above but put in vodafone wap connection under my isp - message sent ok! and received ok (over vodafone wap conn) - but no vpn!
took proxy out all together and works fine - but no vpn!
vpn still connects with term servcs (over vodafone wap conn)
If you have read this far - thanks! Sorry for the length of the post but I thought my experiences of some of the headaches I've had with the devices may be useful to others and save them some stress.
btw other than that I think the TYTN is great - works well and already some of our users are pleased because they can work more when out on the road - and happy users mean a happy techie
ok - have got it all working now - the key to mms/internet was to create a new isp connection for mms and set mms messaging option to use that connection.
for vpn you need to put the servers you want to connect to in the exceptions list - then when you try and connect to them they should fire up the vpn.

Hi All,
I've got Omnia II with WM 6.5 in which i have to manually turn off / disconnect the data connection all the times and it always turn on again after a while.
can anyone recommend or suggest which way / tools to disable the non-wifi data connection only ? so far i only i need GSM and the Wifi only to reduce unwanted cost.
Thanks.
Open Samsung Settings (press the big button) and hit on the top line the key with the arrow left/right.
Select the Option "Wireless Manager" - and take a look at the right bottom corner. There you see "MENUE" - press it and select "Data con. Settings".
Tick all three Options and select the "TIME OFF" at "NO PACKET FOR". Switch device off and on again and from now disconect the WiFi connection with a short press on the PowerOff Button.
yes that works man, now I'm using nodata.cab to make the setting permanent.
How to disable data connection manually in Omnia II (WM 6.5)-do not see "data" option
".....There you see "MENUE" - press it and select "Data con. Settings".
Tick all three Options and select the "TIME OFF" at "NO PACKET FOR". "
With my i920 all is on for "phone, bluetooth, wi-fi,data"
I do not see any "Data con Settings" screen when I press "Menu" - only see "Phone Setting, Bluetooth,Wi-Fi". How can I see "Data" to make change?
Thank.
