O2 UK MMS Settings? - General Topics

When I got my Xda2, I accidently deleted some settings which mucked up my ability to send/receive MMS messages via O2 UK.
Can someone guide me through the process of getting it working from scratch?

Anyone?

Ok I'll bite!
Take a look at the GPRS/WAP/MMS Settings Repository over at Modaco
http://smartphone.modaco.com/viewtopic.php?t=4861
HTH

This may help??
I use a combination of this web site for the settings:
http://www.filesaveas.com/index.html
and the document below to the steps.
Have fun!

I'm assuming you're on O2....with your active UI running, click on "my xda" (today screen) then connections. You should then see a screen asking what country you're in...select UK (yes, in know it's obvious!) then postpaid then GPRS......it'll do everything itself....easy!

While you are at it, try choosing prepaid with gprs, mine will not allow that combination.

the reason the prepaid combination doesn't work is because in the uk prepay doesn't support all the data features needed to get email/internet etc

Using GPRS on someone other than o2

Hi,
I've just moved my XDA 2 away from an o2 contract to Pay As You Go with Tesco.
I can't get my GPRS to work and after contacting Tesco several time, they are now saying that you cannot use GPRS on an XDA 2 on a provider OTHER THAN o2, because of some pre-set settings that can't be changed. I can view pda.o2.co.uk when connected to GPRS, but that's it.
Is this true? Is there a workaround? Does anyone have GPRS working on Tesco or any non o2 provider (if they were originally on o2)?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Andi
i can't speak directly for Tesco's pay as you go service, but I have had no problem accessing GPRS on my XDAII, which was bought under a 1 year contract in UK, after moving to Malaysia (on a local M'sian carrier).
what i do have trouble is, however, is setting the gprs up for mms services. Apparently on my cousin's xdaIIs bought here, mms services require connection to a separate gprs account, which can be specified on his mms settings but not on mine. and we can't seem to find anything different in the changeable settings! o well. i have no one to mms anyway...
somynex if you want help setting up your mms I can gladly assist. Its accually really easy. You have to set up your proxy on my work network. Just im me if you want some help.
Mike
No-one have any ideas? I think I'll likely move to o2 pay as you go.
Thanks

Treo 750 V T-Mobile MMS Settings

Hi guys,
I have the Palm 750v unlocked with my T-mobile sim in. I have setup the Internet connection etc but the new MMS/SMS package sets up different and I cannot set up MMS .
Need someone who knows the password for T-mobile UK MMS
Anyone with any idea , even if you copy down the vodafone settings that would give me a guide of what is different.
Cheers
moved to treo section
Try this works for me
Thanks Chrisboy
Have you managed to get the device to send an MMS?
I havent tried to be honest but i did with my Tytn and it didnt work, i assumed it had to be switched on by Tmobile
Chris
mms I can't get working currently.
A network error (0x150) has occurred.
First things does anyone know where the automatic settings are linked too?
They must link back to a file in the registry or maybe in the windows file.
manual settings I have tried (same settings that work on my tytn still no luck)
The menu settings are different to the ones on my TyTN.
Menu,Options,Advanced
auto / manual
select manual then edit
If anyone gets it working on tmobile please post.
Thanks
speed tests are fantastic currently getting 1.1 megabits per second.

Is that on your Tytn or the 750V ???
Treo 750v chrissyboy6969. I love the device.
Dude how do you get 1.1mb/s on the device, HSDPA is not enabled the most i can get is 300kb/s
Not enabled a thing just did a speed test on the device and I am getting over 1mb always best so far is 1.1mb tmobile uk sim card. I know the phone doesn'y have wifi but I can live with these speeds over GPRS.
Very strange, i am on tmobile and i had the tytn before this and my speeds were around the same with the tytn but with this i can only get 300kb/s do you have the vodafone standard rom as well and what do you use to test the speed
Thanks
Chris
Guys Paul at Modaco sent me this . Its from the registery I guess the Vodafone part is hard set into the registry.
I have tried this and it doesn't work . If I open it with Notepad the Tmobile settings seem wrong . Is it simply just entering the correct values and you are done?
Treo 750 Clear MMS Settings
Today just got an "unlocked" Treo 750v (Vodafone Version).
The MMS settings are buried in the registry. Cannot get to them via typical set up options.
There is no way I can replace Cingular MMS settings with Tmobile (My carrier).
If I go and make change manually, the changes do not take effect. The next time I reboot/restart phone these settings disappear.
I have found registry import files in different forums, but none seem to make change properly.
Any ideas?
Yea , it seems an issue and it does come from within the reg. I have to date no none fix . Maybe some of the other more techy guys could help on the other forums.
I received my unlocked Treo750v yesterday.
So far I have been successfull in getting everything working except MMS messages.
Currently, I have aquired what I believe to be all the necessary information in order to send T-Mobile USA MMSs:
Message Center Number: +12063130004
Email Center Number: 500
MMS Gateway address: 216.155.165.050
MMS URL: http://216.155.165.050/servlets/mms
Network Profile: Default
Some people have stated they were unable to get these settings to stay after restarting their phone. I am not experiencing that problem. The closest I can get to reproducing that error is that when i turn off the cell capabilities, the Message Center Number disappears. However the correct number reappears when I turn the cell functions back on.
I've taken a brief look at the reg file in T_Mobile_750v.zip

Where did you make the changes to these new settings?
Did you make the network settings as "Manual" and enter these manually, or change the registry with these settings?
Thanks
OK, found a posting on TreoCentral that solves the MMS issue.... take a look

I use the same profile as my GPRS Internet but some people just add one under connections called Picture Messaging or something along them lines.
I took a look at the registry file and changed it and got everything working but when you restart the phone settings default to the original ones which cause message to stop send and receiving.
I also took some pictures of some speed tests as I am getting over 1mb speeds.
I am so happy with my Treo 750v it was a good buy everything that I want is now working. more pictures in my next post.
Tried what yo have and still sits there at 10%
Can you put some screen shots up of your network settings

Use AT&T Fuze on T-Mobile? How to use data?

I've been searching now for about 45 mins(my phone got here an hour ago) and I can't find a definitive answer about how to get data working for T-Mobile on the AT&T Fuze. (I know... I know... I can't 3G since this phone doesn't support the 1700 band but Edge is good enough for now)
Any insight on how to get this working would be really appreciated. I know that there was a network wizard in a bunch of old Wizard ROMS that would allow you to set your carrier and it auto-configured.
Does such a method exist for the Touch Pro?

Could you post a link? I'm on t-mobile, too, but don't have a data plan. I would like to know the particulars, just in case.
you could just flash a ROM like ROMeOS or Lantis and they set up the connection automatically

I found and used the Network Wizard Cab attached below. It didn't really seem to work that well though. You can try it if you like but I recommend inputting the data settings manually.

That actually didn't help because T-Mobile doesn't support the AT&T Fuze. Thanks for trying though bro.
do a search for tmobyjoe cabs there are a few different cabs you can use to set up data depending on wich data plan you have
use the this link:
http://tmobileuspublic.wdsglobal.com/
and select the wing for data and mms. It will work fine
Come on.. is it REALLY all that hard guys ? The AT&T Fuze is no different than any other Windows Mobile device that TMobile supports. Your options are simple... Call TMobile, tell them you have a "Wing" or any other touchscreen PPC they might sell and have them walk you through the settings. OR, add a new connection yourself and input "wap.voicestream.com" as the access point. Simple as that. ORRRR, use the attached cab.... LOL
A little late, but better than never.
The above CAB and the previous TmoByJoe CABs still point to the old wap.voicestream.com APN that requires the 216.155.165.50:8080 proxy which only supports HTTP requests. This has been replaced in favor of the epc.tmobile.com APN which does not require a proxy and therefore supports many more protocols/apps (FTP, VPN, Remote Desktop, IM clients, TF3d weather, etc).
Start > Settings > Connections > Connections > Advanced > Select Networks > Edit your Tmobile connection or create a New connection > Edit or New Modem with APN epc.tmobile.com, no user/pass/domain, no proxy.
The epc.tmobile.com APN may not be accessible in all areas yet, so if you're having trouble connecting to it you may need to stay with the old wap.voicestream.com APN for the time being.
First you might wanna flash to the Rapheal stock ROM(Use the Wiki to find it), Then use the auto connection setup inside the connections tab of settings. Once you do the auto connection setup go into connections (inside the connections tab) go to mangae connections, you should see t-mobile data as the name, but go to edit and leave the name as t-mobile data click next and change from wap...whatever to
(internet2.voicestream.com) Next all you have to do is add the $24.99 unlimited data package through the unsupported handset customer service. tell them you already changed the settings already so you can be ready to go. but it can take up to 48 or 72 hours to be fully activated. trust me im using t-mobile data right now.
do not use the method above my post from fhsieh, that is not the right info. use my method as it is from t-mobile directly.
the info above your post is correct and will work! the epc.tmobile.com settings are mostly used by people with tzones 5.99 plan to get full internet but will also work with unlimited data plan.
i have been with t-mobile for a long time now and for the unlimted data internet2.voicestream.com is the correct access point name. maybe for the t-zones lol you can use what u said. And i just changed my settings and could not access the web from using epc.tmobile.com.
Internet and internet2.voicestream.com as well as epc have all been very unreliable to me. It's the reason I still use wap.voicestream.com It works very well with my unlimited plan and it works the 5.99 Tzones option if you also put in the proxy details.
I am using the $5.99 tzones plan and the epc.tmobile.com APN works very well for me, I have had absolutely no connection problems and all of my programs work without having to go through the HTTP proxy. Again I mentioned that it's not going to work in all areas, but if it happens to work in your area there is a general agreement that it is better than the old wap.voicestream.com APN, as it gives you essentially the same features as the Total Internet plan (no hard bandwidth limit) at reduced cost.
Only testing will tell which APN works best for you, but this way at least you know about the three APNs that Tmobile uses.
All three of us have given good trouble shooting info..sorry for the bashing in my other posts. has this info helped the kid.
Ok, i talked to tmobile and the maximum limit of data usage on the $5.99 T-Zones is 50 Megabytes. Is this true? Does this mean I can't tether without being charged? or are they just saying that so that you don't over use it?
(I mean for godsakes its EDGE, it's already so slow, it should be free)

O2 MMS settings

Just started getting a problem with the MMS on my Serra and not sure if anyone can let me know theirs please.
Under connections/My ISP I have
Mobile Web - Cellular Line (GPRS,3G), mobile.o2.co.uk, o2web/password, DNS 193.113.200.200, Alt DNS 193.113.200.201
Mobile Web 2 - Cellular Line, mobile.o2.co.uk, o2web/password, DNS 193.113.200.200, Alt DNS 193.113.200.201
My Work Network
02 Active - Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G), wap.o2.co.uk, o2wap/password, user server specific
MMS Settings
o2uk - Gateway 193.113.200.195 port 8080, server address http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002. Connect via My ISP
Thanks
Sorry all fixed myself, my proxy settings were incorrect
What exactly was the error - I still cannot get MMS to work even with your seetings from your post?
I found out that mine was that a proxy server was enabled. I hook mine up to my laptop while in the office to charge and activesync with my Exchange server. Hadn't realised that it also enables my office proxy server.
crazyC, is the SIM in your Serra on O2 contract or Pay and Go? I'm guessing it's the former, but if it's the latter I know the settings...
Is it just MMS that's not working, or is your data connection (via telephone I mean) not working either?
It was just MMS that did not work.
I am on contract, and after a lot of digging and trialling of cabs that should have fixed it, but didn't, I have sussed it out and tested it.
I will roll the settings into my O2 setup cab, test it, and then post it if anyone wants it.
YES! Please post it.
I am using these settings on my contract o2, htc touch pro. all my 3g and internet works... just no mms.
I have sat here for four hours now messing around with it...
any chance of posting the settings that worked for you?
Try this
MMS Settings
o2uk - Gateway 193.113.200.195 port 9201, server address http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002. Connect via My Work Network
Other connections as per the normal O2 set up.
'My Work Network' shows up as O2 Active
Dont forget to set the O2MMS server as the default under MMS options
I havent tested this yet, but this cab SHOULD insert the O2 MMS settings - note you must already have the correct O2 network setup for calls and data, this is just the MMS bit.
im also having prblems with this, using the new Elite RC4. Im gunna reflash it and try again cuz i have fiddled with the settings too much
Edit - i tried the cab and the setting listed above it and neither worked for me
I have called O2 to see if they can help me and they sent me the some lame ass intruction which are exactly the same as on here... except afte you set up the o2web settings it says to use auto download for the rest :/
Whats the deal witht he proxy for the o2 active settings are they supposed to be on or off and if on, what do i set them as?
Installed the original O2 ROM to get all the settings working properly. It seems the missing details are in the WAP Proxy ones.
start - settings - connections - connection settings - manage existing under the 'my work network' (or whatever you renamed it too) - proxy (ensure use proxy is ticked) - advanced
WAP - 193.113.200.195:9201
SECURE WAP - 193.113.200.195:9203
Other than that settings are as they have been mentioned previously
MMS issues
I have extensively searched forum after forum and this seems to be the only thread with the sort of info i am searching for. I have installed TPC V3.1 Rom With required radio, everything works including MMS, however, no matter what settings i try i cannot receive normal sized pictures and any MMS videos go straight to the O2 website and all i get is a message your phone is not compatible with this type of message. Can anyone help, its really annoying............
I have tried the above .cab file and it doesn't work for me either.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Try some of these reg edits.
Thanks, but that is more for increasing the send size limit of mms, I can send them fine, but my network O2 cannot determine what phone I have and therefore only allows me to receive the smallest possible sized attachement.
I have tried numerous settings and radios to adjust this I've even tried the get settings feature and I get a txt back sorry we are unable to blah blah blah. with out going back to O2 stock rom i'm running out of options.......
Also I have never attemped to edit the registry
Again thank u for your reply......
EDIT......
Attempted reg edit, has had no affect, am I doing something Wrong.......?

Can a phone carrier block this device?

Sorry for the long story. Ok I have a custom CM9.1 R8 ROM for this phone. Im from australia and while the coverage isnt as good as in the USA I had no problems here working via the Vodafone Australia network and sim card. I could browse the web, send/receive mms, calls etc was fine. Yesterday I switched over to the Red Bull mobile australia network because it offered unlimited txt and calls and more monthly data and was cheaper than Vodafone. The Redbull mobile network also borrows the towers from Vodafone so its basically the same network.
Anyway I can send/receive txts and make calls via redbull just fine but I cannot browse the web and cannot send/receive mms. I have set the apn settings according to the below redbull apn settings help tutorial: http://www.redbullmobile.com.au/help-support/internet-settings/
I have set both the mms and wap apn settings but I still cannot browse the web and send/receive mms. I contacted the redbull service desk and all it involved was basically reading out and confirming the spelling of the apn. Which was all correct I did no typos. The analyst then asked me what mobile phone I have and they said we dont have this device on our records and that the redbull mobile network blacklists some devices. Is this possible? It didnt sound right to me because I can send/receive txts and make calls just fine so clearly its not blocked. I get the feeling they didnt know how to fix it and just cbf'd me and decided to end the call and get me out of there. Can someone help me with this issue?
Also if I select restore default apn settings for some reason it puts my old vodafone apn settings, not sure if there is a cache I have to delete? If I go to settings/wireless & networks\mobile networks\network operators and try to search for available networks in australia nothing appears. This has never worked since I put the CM9.1 rom, on the stock rom I did used to get a selection of networks. Im wondering if Im cached still on the voda network?
Well web browsing and MMS are both done over the mobile data (3g/4g) so if you don't have one you won't have the other.
If possible, try doing a clean flash of the latest, r11 if you wanna stick with cm9 or some other ROM. Don't put any APN settings and see how it does with just the red bull sim. If it doesn't, try the APN settings again.
I've seen APN settings not sticking properly so that could be it, try the above steps
Sent from my MyTouch 4G Slide using xda app-developers app
The MT4GS is basically an HTC Sensation from a motherboard standpoint. If Red Bull allows the Sensation, the MT4GS should work as well. Especially since the provider is using the same network you previous provider uses.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
