HI everyone,
I'm figuring as I'm about to turn 30, this is to do with just being too old to deal with technology anymore. Gonna need a five year to sort this out soon...
Anyway, I'm having problems sending MMS messages on my XDAiis with O2 (pay monthly).
I've been to the o2 website, which quite un-helpfully doesn't have the settings for my phone, rather the X1. But assuming they're similar, I inputted as they said.
Problem is, the messages just time out and drop into the drafts folder.
Can anyone give me any clues? I've turned off Bluetooth and wireless and nothing improves. I've tried being hooked to the net, and nothing improves.
Quite frankly, it's way past me.
Thanks in advance.

The settings are automatically input along with the web/wap settings. If you can't use mms its likely your account isn't provisioned for it. You'll need to ring O2 and ask them to activate it from their side.

Hi,
First off, thanks for the response.
I called 02 - and spoke to a nice, helpful girl (who it turns out, has her birthday 10 days before mine - doesn't mean much, but I do like a service that puts up with my chatty days!)
Anyway, she reminded me that you have to set up the connections option through the O2 active part of the XDAiis. So all I had to do was go into that (Active Menu, Tools, Connections, and choose UK, PostPaid and GPRS - and it should all work).
I'm currently trying to send something out... will not hit submit till I have an outcome..........

Anyone want a coffee??

Damn it.
Any other thoughts?

Wait till you get into your 30's! Remember it's not your age thats the problem, it's just technology is getting more difficult!
Anyway, i had the same problem with sending MMS but i've had the IIs install without the O2 UI. Check these settings:
Goto 'messaging' tap 'tools' at the bottom of the screen, tap MMS Settings.
On the 'Preferences' tab make sure it says MMS Network in the drop down box, tick the box's in that tab to whatever you want.
Next touch the 'servers' tab make sure it says O2UK at the top of that box, tap that O2UKand it will open to the settings, make sure they read:
Server name:
O2UK
Gateway:
193.113.200.195
Port number:
9201
Server address:
http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002
Sending size limitation:
100k
Touch ok, exit messaging
Next, from the today screen, touch 'start' 'settings' touch the 'connections' tab, touch 'connections' on that screen you should have 2 lots of settings:
'My work settings' and 'My isp' touch 'Manage existing connection' in the 'My isp' section. Make sure you have a setting in the 'modem' tab section saying something like 'MOBILE WEB GPRS'.
Go back to the settings 'tasks' page, touch the 'advanced' tab select 'select network' on that page make sure the bottom drop down box (programs that connect to a private network should connect using) says 'My isp'
Exit and return to the today screen and try again.
Phew! Hope that helps, time to make a brew!!

I am hoping to buy a XDA 11i of a mate -he's on contract and got this XDA 11i as a free upgrade.
Anyway he wants to raise some cash so he selling the new xda 11i to me and going back to using his previous phone with the existing contract.
Will I be able to put my Pay As You Go sim card in the XDA 11i slot and use it normally - -as a phone, camera etc - or will it have to be unlocked or something.
I am a newbie to this kind of thing and don't want to buy it if I can't get it to work on PAYG.
Thanks for any help folks.
Hello
You will be able to use your sim but will not be able to use the GPRS part as it is not supported by o2.If any one knows a way around this then I know 2 people at least that want to know

payandgo settings for GPRS (email/MMS/Internet explorer) are available on this site
I phoned o2 and they even gave me the settings for the GPRS.
good luck.
I can only go off what I have been told in the settings I can not select payg as an option and when the settings for gprs are put in place even by the manager in the shop and by myself it still fails to connect they stated it will only allow you to get to the o2 active site.again if anyone can prove otherwise i for one will be gratefull.
Please note the following:
When entering 'o2' please use the letter 'o'.

Below are the Xda II GPRS WAP manual settings Pre-pay
It is not possible to select the 'Prepaid' option within 'My Xda' Connections in the O2 Active UI on the XdaII - 'Postpaid' is selected as default and cannot be changed.
To use the XdaII with an O2 Prepay SIM then the WAP settings will need to be changed manually - note that it will not be necessary to carry out a hard (full) reset in order to complete this.
IMPORTANT - once the WAP settings have been changed, if a hard reset is carried out at some future point, then the settings will automatically be re-configured back to Postpaid and they will need to be manually changed again..

Use My ISP in Network conection settings
First off let me say ive searched this site high and low and tried almost every .cab ive found and followed plenty of setup instructions but still for the life of me cannot get MMS to work. email i get no problems sending texts i get no problems. but no MMS , and i think ive tried everything on this site.... im running Farias WM6 rom , and love it.
I had MMS working on the phone before i had to reflash beacuse i updated a radio rom and it almost bricked it.... so i followed all the instructions again just like usual and reflashed the downgrade rom and then upgraded to farias. I just dont remember what it was i did to get MMS working before
If someone could help me out it would be much appreciated.....
Maybe we could start a sticky entitled " How to get your MMS back after flashing "
Thanks in advance guys.
You have absolutely no MMS? You cannot receive or send MMS? Who's your carrier?

Yea , no MMS at all......
cant recieve or send.....
I had it working on the Faria rom before i had to reflash.....
all i keep getting is " error syncronizing " everytime i try to hit " send/recieve"
I had the same issue, go under the MMS settings, then goto server, select Cingular MMS or whoever your carrier is, mine wascingular, and then set it to the default and delete the one named default
If there is not other one besides deafault, then you need to ask your provider for your settings and add it.
hope this helps
This might be helpful to others , but i tried it still no worky for me.

Ah! This sorta illustrates the problem. I had mentioned that I couldn't seem to send MMS, although I *could* browse the web via GPRS.
Well...I spent some time on the phone with T-Mobile "PDA Support" and finally have this figured out! There's been talk here about using the two different APN's available to T-Mobile Internet customers for WAP and MMS versus regular website browsing.
When I spoke with T-Mobile PDA Support, I was told a few things:
1) they've had some network problems that aren't 100% resolved that could be messing up our ability to browse the net, consistently get EDGE speeds, or send MMS messages.
2) MMS is supposed to be sent over their WAP gateway, so for this, you should use "wap.voicestream.com" as your APN.
3) Web browsing for full HTML web pages is supposed to be done over their non-protocol-restricted internet gateway, so for this, you should specify "internet2.voicestream.com" as the APN.
I did some experimenting, and it seems that I cannot send MMS when I connect via "internet2.voicestream.com", and I cannot browse the web when I connect via "wap.voicestream.com". But, as the gentleman from T-Mobile PDA Support suggested, when I chose the APN appropriate to the task, I succeeded. I tried this several times with consistent results.
I think I saw some discussion here about manually selecting the GPRS connection each time so you get the right gateway. But with a bit of configuration work up front, you can make this work automatically. Here's how:
The essence of the solution is that you should have TWO different connection setting groups - one for Internet Browsing and email, and one for MMS. Then, you can have the first one automatically invoked when your application tries to connect to the Internet, and you can have the MMS application automatically select the second connection group when it's trying to send an MMS message.
So -- Most, if not all, of you have a connection group named "T-Mobile GPRS". To examine it, click on:
Start / Settings / Connections and then tap the Connections icon. With the Tasks tab selected, you should see two connection groups listed, along with three choices under each one for tasks you can perform.
Under the connection group named "T-Mobile GPRS", click "Manage existing connections" -- you should be on the "Modem" tab -- if not, select it now.
This page shows a table in which you can list various network connections that this connection group can use to send and receive data. Since it seems that the three APNs that we know about are special purpose (one for WAP/MMS, one for Internet, one for VPN), it does NOT make sense to mix them here and let WM5 try to figure out which is best to use -- you will wind up with inconsistent results (i.e., works sometimes, but not others, seemingly at random).
Instead, since this "T-Mobile GPRS" connection group is for Internet browsing, the one and only connection you want to specify here is one that will use the "internet2" APN.
But first, click on the "Proxy Settings" tab below, and just click the box labeled, "This network connects to the Internet", and make sure the other boxes on the pages are blank (no proxy server specified here!). When you're done, select the "Modem" tab again (you might have to minimize the keyboard display at the bottom to see the tabs).
If you don't have a data connection yet that uses the internet2 APN, you can click on "New", then give it a descriptive name (such as "Internet connection"), select "Cellular Line (GPRS)" as the modem, click "Next", and input "internet2.voicestream.com" as the APN, click "Next" again, leave the user name, password and domain all blank and click "finish".
Click "ok" at the top a couple of times and you should be done with the connection group that gets you to the Internet.
Now - we'll create a separate connection group for MMS:
Go back into "Start / Settings / Connections" and tap the "Connections" icon again. You're back at the "Connections" screen that lists your two most recently defined "connection groups" -- the top one should be "T-Mobile GPRS" since we just worked on it. Click on "Add a new modem connection". Even though this line appears under "T-Mobile GPRS", you'll actually be creating a new and separate connection group.
You'll see a screen entitled, "Make a New Connection". Give it a meaningful name -- I chose "WAP connection". Select "Cellular Line (GPRS)" as the modem, and click "Next". This time, under Access Point Name, specify "wap.voicestream.com". Click next and make sure on the "My Connection" screen that user, password and domain are blank, then click "Finish".
You will now have separate connection groups for Internet Access and for MMS tranmission.
The next step is what makes this work automatically. Close all the windows until you're at the "today" screen again. Click "Start" and then "Messaging". If you don't see "MMS" at the top left of the screen, click the "Menu" button at the lower right, click on "Switch Accounts" and select "MMS".
Click "Menu" again, and then click "MMS Configuration...". You'll see three tabs: "Preferences", "Servers" and "About".
The preferences tab has non-critical choices that you should set to meet your own needs.
On the Servers tab, you should see a single server listed, "T-Mobile MMS" -- this was installed by one of the T-Mobile customizations when you first booted up your MDA. Click on this , and you'll see a screen that details the configurat ion of this server. Here's what you want in the config:
Server Name: non-critical, T-Mobile named it, "T-Mobile MMS", so you should probably leave it at that.
Gateway: 216.155.165.50
Port Number: 8080
Server address: http://215.155.174.84/servlets/mms
...and HERE is where we tell it to automatically switch to our network connection that was set up for MMS:
Where it says, "Connect via:", the default that T-Mobile put in was your old "T-Mobile GPRS" connection. Instead, I clicked the drop-down arrow and selected the new connection that we created way up above that references the "wap.voicestream.com" APN, called something like "MMS Connection".
Sending size limitation as locked at 292k. WAP Version defaults to 2.0, but you can drop it down to 1.2 if you have some reason to do this (I don't).
Once this is all set right, click "OK", and "ok" your way back out of the messaging application.
Now you're ready for a test:
There are many way to initiate an MMS. However you do it, when it starts up, you should see it connecting to GPRS via your "MMS Connection", it will then send your MMS and disconnect from GPRS again after a bit.
Open up PIE again and select a website, and this time you'll see GPRS connecting via your first connection group -- the one that uses "internet2.voicestream.com" as the APN.
You can go back and forth several times -- this setup will select the correct network connection group each time, and work.
The ONLY issue I've seen with this is the following:
If your GPRS connection for one type of activity is still connected when you try launching the other service, it doesn't seem smart enough to force the old connection to disconnect first. So...if your old connection hasn't time out yet, you may have to click on the "G" icon (top of your today screen) and select "disconnect" before starting your other activity. But that's it -- aside from this, all the APN switching is automatic -- and works perfectly.

*siigh*
Now its connecting up again , and it connects to (edge) Tmo MMS
but it gets to 66% sent on the status and i get
" next hop connection failed "
Someone just texed me and said " nice pic " so i guess it worked ??
not holding my breath just yet, but praying !
*sigh* *arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggg*
now its just connects and disconnects.........
Here are my settings tell me if something is wrong :
Under my MMS configuration ( found from the messaging menu )
Servers :
Sever name : T-mobile MMS
Gateway : 216.155.165.50
Port number : 8080

And

In the advanced tab under TCP/IP :" use server IP address is selected " and
nothing else is.
under servers on the advanced tab " use server-assigned addresses " is only selected.
any clues ?
back to the "Gateway+timeout" error.... sigh...
i dont know what the hell i did , but its sending messages now.........
still havent recieved one tho.
i think im gonna have to do a writeup tho.
Do you use wifi? When wifi is on my MMS doesn't work.
Did you ever figure out what was happening. I'm having a similar problem. As far as I can tell all the setting you listed above are correct, and I have mine set the same. When I try to send a message it hangs at 87% and never completes. Once it ran up to 99% then I got the "Gateway Timeout" error.
What version of the ARCSoft MMS client are you using?
I cannot get it to send or connect at all unless I use one of the CABs for the settings floating around - then it works, but that causes other NASTY side effects on WM6.
Just the one that came with the rom that I loaded, [02/Nov/2007] TNT.1933, ArcSoft 4.2.8.1 with plug-in and full features. The settings seem to connect, the message just won't complete sending.
I'm not able to get it to connect unless I use the T-Mobile CAB (manually configuring does NOT work) and that breaks data connections when on sync.
hi guys, i'm on O2 UK, and got the 'HTC Touch Curise' from exspansys.
i've received 2 mms which my phone hasn't downloaded...
not liking this idea of mms and sms in one folder, as when i want to check/change the mms settings just get the sms settings.
the phone automatically done all the settings for me when first turned on, grps works (normally in HSDPA), so not a generally connection problem, but were on my orbit and uni i had 'O2 active' settings which mms connected through that's not set, but as said above there no option (which i've found) to choose a connection setting anyway
has anyone else had the same problem? or got any ideas?
cheers guys
This one's a nightmare! I've been on the phone to O2 for the last three nights in a row for the same problem.
Each time I phone I'm told MMS wasn't properly provisioned on my account, but that they will do it for me, and I then have to wait 24 hours for it to work.
I can now send MMS, but receiving is a bit sporadic. It gets to 99% downloaded and then either it appears, or it just goes blank, and tries again.
So frustrating!
I know it's set-up because i've had this number for 2.5-3 years, it worked on my Exec, my Orbit, so why not now....
did your phone add the "O2 Active" settings now? and can you access settings for mms?
Hi,
I'm not in the Uk, and not on O2, but I had a similar problem with receiving and sending mms on my HTC cruise, which I bought last week.
Luckily I was able to solve the problem, and I can send and receive mms falwlessly now.
What you have to do is to enter the mms setings manualy, after getting them from your network's website. I'm sure you can also call customer's service and ask them for the settings (what you need is: the gateway no. , port no., server address, and sending limit)
go to start menu > messaging > tap and enter the sms\mms window, tap on menu at the lower right corner, and select mms options, tap on servers at the bottom, there you may see different settings names - tap new, and here you can enter the mms settings that you got from your network. In the "connect via" drop-down list select my ISP, wap version 2.0. Tap done, and make sure you mark your new setting as default.
This should solve the problem. At lease it solved mine
You may need a soft reset after entering the new settings.
Good luck

Yes it did, and there's a program called "O2 Settings" or similar in the program menu which reloads the settings, which I tried a number of times.
I also entered the settings manually, but they were already all correct.
From a few tests, it seems I can receive an MMS from Vodafone but not from T-Mobile. Need to test more to be 100% sure though.
MMS has been around for years now, you would think they could get it right!
I can not beg, borrow or steal O2 to get settings for my Palm Treo 750 (windows mobile 5) to get on the internet! It is unlocked. I have tried various wap and password settings that I have found from them and online.
I have called O2 tech support which is really unimpressive because it seems they simply will not let you go up the ladder of support to get to someone that can answer the problem. I have been on palm.com website using online live support and palm says O2 must give the settings. O2 curiously tells me Palm must give me the settings. Anyone have any experience with this and know the settings? Know where to look? Me like you long time if you can help out.
thanks
I can give you my setting and it is not O2
You can ask O2 for the right setting.
and here it is:
1. Start, Settings, Connections, and then tap the Connections Icon
2. Under "My Work Network" tap Add a New Modem Connection
3. Name it Picture Messaging and under Select a modem select (GPRS,3G)
4. Under Access Point Name type: uwap.orange.co.il
5. Username, Password, and Domain is left blank and then click Finish
6. Now, go into Proxy Settings and check "This network connects to the Internet" and check "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet"
7. Under the Proxy Server box type: 192.118.11.55
8. Tap the advanced button and tap on the HTTP line. Make sure the HTTP settings shows 192.118.11.55:8080. If not, change it.
9. Click the OK button a few times to get out of the settings completely.
10.Now go to Start, Messaging, Menu, then Options, Advance, then Click Manual, and then the Edit button
11. Message center number +97254120032
12. Email center number is 500
13. MMS gateway address is 192.118.11.55:8080
14. MMS URL is http://192.168.220.15/servlets/mms
15. Finally under Network Profile select: My Work Network and then click ok.
Well, I hope it will help you...
Hi,
I have a Wizard that I used to have TNT installed on. I recently installed the Hornet 5 ROM. Now I am having a problem, that I experienced with both roms. I have ATT, and when I try to send a text message, if I have a E icon on top of my screen for edge, the texts go through perfectly. If I have a G icon on top of my screen for GPRS, I instantly get an error EXACTLY when I press send for the text and it says Your Message could not be sent. Click here to try again. It happens everytime there is a G for GPRS. I've set my text settings to work for GSM, I've also tried the GPRS option for texts, but I get the same results everytime. This is very frustrating because I don't have Edge in all of my city and I can't send texts a lot of the times. Any suggestions?
I've had problems using the canned programs to setup the network settings for at&t. When they try to run, I cancel them and set up myself. Here's what I would do.
1) Delete and existing connections. Start>>Settings>>Connections>>Connections. Under My ISP menu. Manage existing connections, tap & hold, then delete any connections on the list.
2) Add a new modem connection, which is under My ISP menu.
Name: whatever you want
Modem: Cellular Line (GPRS)
Access point name: wap.cingular
User Name: [email protected]
Password: CINGULAR1
Domain: Leave Blank
Click on Advanced: TCP/IP & Servers should both be checked for "Use server-assigned"
Hope this works for you. This is how manually set up for att after ever new rom I install.
Will give it a shot
Hi,
Thanks, I am going to give this a try now.
