MMS Vodafone UK with WM5 - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

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:

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

o2 UK gprs settings

Just installed the xda-developrs SE ROM
Seems to make the XDA run like a deamon, well impressed so far.
Just as everybody else though. The autoconfiguration doesn't work. So can't get the o2 wap settings up.
dns 193.113.200.200
and 193.113.200.201
np mobile.o2.co.uk
but something seems to be missing. Could somebody please supply the complete settings.
WAP...
Ehm, as far as WAP goes...
We did not include the EZWAP program in our install. So WAP is unlikely to work. WAP wasn't in Othman's Qtek ROM (it has no autoconfig settings and no WAP), and we didn't create mkrom to take input from multiple ROMs. We figured serious users would want to the new EZWAP which also does MMS (which isn't included by O2), and we never really used WAP or MMS ourselves. So I guess we never tested any WAP settings...
If you want you can have a look at the registry settings we insert for each provider in the 'provider' directory of the mkrom kit. If you think some settings are missing, you could do a registry dump (using the 'System Snapshot' we put in the ROM) before and after fixing the problem, and send us the differences. We can them insert them in next versions of the Special Edition ROM.

There ones I use my self
UK 02 XDA
Hi,
Thanks for the above info. It worked a treat. However I was asked for a Username, Password and Domain login when I connected to GPRS. So for those of you who do know it, here we go:
Username: web
Password: password
Domain: leave this blank.
Check the box to save the password.
Gil.
thanks, i will add it to my txt file
missed those
I am on O2 payg, using the xda, I have tried the gprs settings and it says the number isnt responding, when I use the gsm settings that are preset when doing auto config, I get charged even though I am on 300 free wap minutes, I dont think I am a stupid person but I have a feeling of having been here before when I previously had an O2 payg, any help would be appreciated. I am getting the free sms messages so I know the account is activated for the freebies. The "G" sysmbol comes on when i switch on the xda and stays there for about 10 seconds.
Hi. I'm new here so excuse me if I seem simple! I have unlocked my XDA using xdaunlock and now have same problem with GPRS dropping out after approx 10 seconds. It worked before, so has unlocking changed any settings? or has something else happened. The xda has the latest uk rom upgrade with 4.21 radio. Any help please as I dont know what to do! Thanks.
Please has anybody actually got a working setup for GPRS on O2 PAYG on the XDA, I have spent weeks on this and got nowhere. I have followed instructions to the letter from different websites and still no joy, I can connect to wap over gsm but gprs settings still elude me, anybody got a full description of settings please, and how to enter them. Thanks in advance.
Is there nobody on this forum using O2 PAYG sim and using wap over gprs? I cannot seem to find anybody with the settings, I wonder why, it seems like the holy grail just to get on line using the system that is available to me in theory? Help would be greatly appreciated.
Nobody in UK on O2 pay as you go :?: :?: :?:
Update on my problems with GPRS on O2 payg. I have tried every setting on this forum plus others, I always get error, not answering or some such, I have decided to stick to gsm connection using shortcode 951000 and exwap 2.5. if anybody can give me step by step, confirmed working settings, I would apprectiate it. This will be my last post on the subject, I am beginning to take up too much storage on the forum server with this. A resolution to the problem would be great as I can then save my connection settings to flash ram and not worry about it again.
cruisin-thru I am not on O2 so can offer limited help.
EzWAP2.5 could be yr problem.
I sometime find difficulty using WAP after a session mms'ing with EzWAP2.5 . A solf reset is then required before I can connect to WAP via gprs.
Here is my sugestion:
1.uninstall EzWAP2.5 completely
2.try to get connected to gprs or gsm WAP
3.try PIE, it works for WAP , but depending on yr
telco whether on gprs or gsm
4.if all the above is working then install EzWAP2.1
and see if it works
5.then EzWAP2.5 and see if it screw up everthing,
if not try mms.
Hope this helps, i am working blind here
OK, searched high and low and think this is the best thread to post this in.
Have just upgraded my XDA with the developers rom v1.2. Everything great for a while (3 days) Now it can not connect to gprs or gsm. I get the "There is no answer at the number dialed.
I am with O2 UK and have treble checked the settings and tried various alternatives however nothing works.
One thing I have noticed is that the autoconfig dropdown box says Austria One.....when I change that to O2 - UK and click OK to autoconfigure, it doesn't, it just comes back to Austria - One.
Phone works and SMS is fine, just GPRS/GSM
Do I need to re-flash or contact my provider....or please tell me there's a simple "fix" :lol:
Thanks
Ive got this reply through email from o2 im waiting now for password and username I will post soon as I get it
Go to Start > Settings > Connections > Connections, and then select the top modify option. Within this, there should be four connection types.... Select the GPRS WAP connection and modify the settings. You need to change anything that says o2wap to payandgo, and change the APN from WAP.o2.CO.UK to PAYANDGO.O2.CO.UK. Once you have amended these settings, tap and hold on this connection type and make it your default. You might want to rename this
Then, go into the EZwap application, and select tools and then options, and there should be a series of tabs. Select the general tab and make sure the connection in the drop down list, is the one you have just amended.

Hi, make sure first that it's your GPRS WAP connection that Ezwap is using, and set it to 'auto connect' in 'Options'
under the 'connection' tab set connection type to 'gateway' and put in your networks WAP IP address (o2 IRL's is 192.168.090.074). Click on 'connectionless gateway'
Untick 'wtls' secured connection.
Click on the 'MMS' settings tab next.
Put in your networks MMS 'Message Server' or MMS homepage. (O2 IRL's is http://mmsc.mms.o2.ie:8002)
All the other settings can be setup as you like.
1) Enable MMS on my account. Had to get 'pally' with a tech guy to do this as XDA is not supported; I suppose pretending I had a 7650 would have worked too.
2) Install EZWAP2.5
3) EZWAP Settings for O2UK:
General
"Connection"
- O2 WAP GPRS
- Connect automatically Y
- Rest on this tab default
Connection
"Connection Type"
- Gateway
- Address 193.113.200.195
- Port 9201
- Connectionless Gateway N
- WTLS secured connection N
- Rest on this tab default
Push
"Push"
- Enable push Y
- Connection type Address: blank
- Port 2901
- Connectionless Push gateway Y
- WTLS secured N
History/Cache & Identification - default
MMS
"MMS Settings"
-Message Server: http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002
-Sender Address Type: Phone Number
-Sender Address: My phone number
MMS Options - delivery recepit and read receipt Y
It's not 100% reliable, which I knew would be the case, but it's not too bad. Get now when the message arrives doesn't work, but I just open the MMS inbox and click the message to get it.

has anyone got mms working on xda II with Orange?

has anyone got mms working on xda II with Orange
if so let me know cos currently I think I might be wasting my time
ashby
I am still strugling with this.
Has anyone cracked it yet?
I use EzWap 2.5 with Orange France configuration with no problems.
ArcSoft Mms don't send or receive any mms.
Trying to be helpful, but prolly not...
I don't know but I hope this helps:
http://smartphone.modaco.com/viewtopic.php?t=4861
I still cannot get this to work!
Does anyone have any ideas
I have got a copy of Ezwap but could not work out how to set it up

Limited success here with my XDA2. I've had it able to send with one configuration, and recieve with another, but I can't get both to work together. Would be nice if some M1000 users would come to the rescue with some detailed settings for thier MMS Network Settings & MMS App settings. I've tried calling Orange, and although they guys was helpful - he didnt have any "M1000" settings to share...
Also, is there a "Your Page" Orange homepage for the XDA2 that fits the screen? I'm using the one designed for smartphones at the moment which is alright, but kinda sucks since it doesnt take advantage of the screen area of the XDA2.
M1000 users, we need you to stop lurking and get replying! Share your settings please!
I'm having the same problems!
Exactly the same, talked to a nice lady at Orange, yet no help to me.
Hope someone might post the M1000 ext. rom file, as I heard all the settings are in there (and we may extract the cab files). Like sleepnow pointed out, I hope some M1000 users may come to the rescue.

I have heard that the M1000 doesn’t support MMS either. Something to do with the way the XDA type devices handle MMS is not compatible with Orange MMS network.
Hopefully this is just a rumour

Crikey. I didn't realise so many people were trying to find out what the settings were... Mind you it took me a couple of days to figure it out! Glad to be of assitance
mine still doesnt work.
Can some one post their GPRS settings
(PAP or CHAP, Class 8 or 10)
cheers
ashby
The settings posted above *are* all the settings you need. I assume you have GPRS access enabled on your phone account, otherwise it will not connect.... Getting GPRS connection is the easy bit - getting MMS to work was the tricker part....
One of the Orange support people told me to change the ap/chap and class settings.= and I cannot remember what the defaults were
Can someone post me what their settings are
Cheers
Ashby

However, setting it up was tricky, and a pain in da butt, as O denmark didn't provide any help and I had to figure all this out myself, with the help of all of you and various settings/setup guides and Orange IP/setup values given to me.

This setting works for Orange MMS here in denmark. I am sure they are already set for the M1000, but this may or may not be the case, as I spoke to Orange support... and they tried to convince me the M1000/XDAII/ QTEK 2020 doesn't work with mms yet, but it will work soon in the future. Not very helpfull. So I had to come here...
And, I must say, FORUM.XDA-DEVELOPERS.COM rules! I am very happy to have become a part of this enourmously helpfull forum. I actually got my Qtek 2020 approx. 14 days ago, after reading a lot of cool stuff in here. Later I realised the M1000 may have been a better buy, as I would have gotten an extra battery, and able to flash the rom to the new(er) dangaard one, and save a lot of money (almost € 200). However, I am still a happy camper, and find the xdaii a joy to use, with various tweeks and adjustments. Even installed some other cab files, not in the rom yet though, as I prefer using dealer distributed updates, so as not to loose my warrenty (but knowing me, I may do it eventually).
Anyway,
thanks for all the help so far and for this great forum. It is truly enourmous
I also hope others may benefit from the danish Orange settings... I will post them on a couple of danish forums, as no one has helped me there either, yet I came here first :wink:

MMS relay?
is it possible to relay mms through my company server?
does anyone know what ports or protocol this requires?
i have an exchange 2003 server i can use if it possible.. :?:
Slightly OT - Orange World
Chaps - sorry for being slightly off topic.
Im an O2 user about to go elsewhere, mostly to get a better GPRS inclusive deal.
One of the options Im considering Orange, but never been with them before, so would like your advice:
1. Does Orange World (3 or 5) actually give me true data for browsing, or is it WAP (as the blurb indicates)
2. If it is true data, can I take this and do a bolt on of GPRS 3 or 7 to up my inclusive data?
TIA
Off Topic - Orange World
It is probably too late to help you choose networks now but ...
I'm on Orange UK and as far as I know Orange World itself is just wap but the gprs bundles you get with Orange enable you to browse the web without using Orange World. I hope that makes sense.

Long running argument between users.
But as a user, let me clarify that for ME at least, Orange World is NOT only for GPRS WAP, but internet, email, messenger, etc.
Orange have stated that this is correct.
HTH.

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)

Think I just found a form that can help: tmo MMS not working on 8125

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)
based from: http://tmobileus.wdsglobal.com/wap?...mobileNumber=&captchaEnabled=true&service=wap
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
Server name: PictureMessaging

Sending size limitation: 300k
Wap Version: 2.0
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

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.

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
