I upgraded to wm6 and email setting doesnt have WAP?It only has Internet or work.Anyone know how to get email and internet with WM6?
wow nobody?
nobody knows the answer?
Follow this guide to get the internet setup (t-zones), then in email try work first, if that does not work, try internet.
1. In Settings/Connections/GPRS/T-Mobile Data:
Tmobile Data Connects to: WAPNetwork
Access Point: wap.voicestream.com
2. Add a 2nd GPRS option:
T-Mobile Data 2
Connects to: Work
Access Point: wap.voicestream.com
3. 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
4. In connections, click menu, then advance and set ALL connections to AUTOMATIC
5. To get the Exchange Server working:
(Exchange Server settings)
Options/Advanced
Connection: Internet
6. To get Pop mail accounts working:
(This will need to be done for each account you have)
Options/Account settings/Advanced Server Settings
Network Connection: Work
NOTE! The option to select which way to connect isn't available until you finish creating the POP account (go back in and change to: Work)
7. To get IE working:
(In Pocket Internet Explorer) Menu/Tools/Options/Connections
Check "Automatically Detect Settings"
Select Network: WAP Network
That should do it! Not all applications will work with this configuration, but Messaging (Exchange/POP3/IMAP) and Pocket Internet Explorer will work. Credits for the WM6 instructions to go http://dashapps.googlepages.com/ ! If the above instructions don't work, try completely deleting the connections and re-adding them.
wow thats funny, i had the exact same problem with my phone and tzones, and i figured out the exact same solution, cept on mine i dont need the proxy for the work connection to get the email to work and i have ie set to internet.

Im trying to connect my Infuse to a ms exchange server. The phone is running 2.2 and is not rooted. I have selected setup a new mail account. I have put in the following:
[email protected]password
Then I hit "manual setup" and selected ms exchange server.
Then for "domain\username" i have sunsetcorp\username
Password is entered
for "exchange server" I have mail.sunset.corp
Then I also have use secure connection and accept all ssl certificates checked.
Its says "checking incoming server settings". Then I get "Setup could not finish ... unable to connect to server"
Do I the settings wrong or am I missing something?
Looks like u have it set ok. I have to do [email protected]/password and run it multiple times to get it to sync the first time. Keep trying its not perfect at all. You can also try droidmail if u still can't get it

I would ask your IT dept. for the exact server information to be sure you are inputting the correct server info. Everything else is good to go in your setup so it has to be the server name is not correct causing the failed connection.

Take out the domain setup all together.
I run SBS 2003 and you do not need to set up the domain. I run the following on dozens of phones.......
Domain/Username (must be exact usually with no spaces)
Password (case sensitive)
Exchange Server (mail.yourcompany.com)
uncheck Use secure connection (You can check it later if you wish after you have it working)
Hope this helps! If so please hit the thanks button for me!
For the exchange server try using the IP address of the server. This is the only way I could get mine to work.
This sounds silly, but have you ever connected another phone to this server? That setting isn't always available. Also, I've found the / or \ can make a huge difference. Also, check to make sure you are using the primary email account and not a secondary alias for the username. The email address can be an alias but username has to be the actual NT username. Hope that helps!

Have been using Exchange for years and work very closely with our Exchange guy's and the username must be Domain\Username if you are on a 2003 box and usually but not always the username on 2007/2010 would be the email address but the Domain\Username should also work according to the experts. If you are using Active Sync which we are I am pretty sure that SSL is a requirement because it connects to Exchange using RPC over HTTP protocol and requires SSL being enabled. Like I said a quick call to your IT people should get it working toot sweet.

I use SBS2003 and do not have the domain name. User name only. (the domain username though) Been working for years that way. mail server is the important one to have the domain address correct in. mail.xxxxxxx.com
If I put the domain name in front of the username it does not connect.....
I suddenly have a problem after loading Zeus. My external SD card is working fine then when I set up the exchanger server and get my mail working it wants to encrypt the SD card (according to company policy)
Now I no longer have access to the SD card, it says cannot mount or format and I if I remove the exchange account I get the SD card back.

Hey guys,
I seriously need your help. I can't receive MMS (S!Mail) with my Nexus S and the japanese carrier Softbank, no matter what I try. Last year the same problem with my old Motorola Milestone.
Android 2.3.5, CM ROM #167 nightly
Baseband: I9023XXKD1
In 2009, I bought a silver USIM Prepaid from Softbank (still valid) with a Softbank 822p phone.
Until now I tried the smile.world and openmms APN, different Apps (Handcent SMS, Go SMS Pro, Softbank Mail), but I can only receive notifications. It shows a download button, but if I hit that, I get the instant error "download not possible. Please try again later". Wifi turned off.
This didn't help as well:
http://ryufly.wordpress.com/2011/07...end-receive-mms-after-upgrading-to-cm7-1-rc1/
If anybody can help, that would be great! Every little hint is appreciated.
does the softbank mail app not work?
found this:
http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...arp-Android-phones-with-Softbank-(Go-SMS-Pro)
Using another SMS/MMS app on Sharp Android phones with Softbank (Go SMS Pro)
First download the following apps:
Go SMS Pro
Go SMS Emoji Plugin
Under Receive Settings, check the Disable other message notification checkbox. This means SMS will only be received in Go SMS but unfortunately it cannot stop the MMS from being received by the stock app (more on that later)
In MMS Settings:
Check the Fill user agent manually checkbox (under User Agent)
Change the user agent to this:
Vodafone/1.0/V802SE/SEJ002 Browser/VF-NetFront/3.3 Profile/MIDP2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1
(Cant make any mistakes, so best to copy/paste)
Under APN Configuration, select Custom Access Point
MMSC: http://mms
MMS Proxy: sbmmsproxy.softbank.ne.jp
MMS Port: 8080
Under Important Tips, select the checkbox saying Stock messaging app uninstalled
If you dont select this then Go SMS wont download MMS at all. In that case Go SMS can be used for SMS only (i.e. other Softbank only) - MMS would go to the stock Softbank app.
In my case i hated how the Softbank app chews up 100% of the CPU for about 30 seconds as it tries to download an MMS. When you are playing a game it really makes you hate the sender for screwing up your gameplay!
Lastly go into the Softbank mail application
Settings → S!Mail Settings → Receive/Display Settings → Mail receive method → Change to Sender/Subject only. Then under notification settings, turn off the lamp, turn off vibration, change the notification sound to be something quiet like "Facebook Pop"
After all of that, when you get an email you will get a double notification - one from Go SMS and one from Softbank. Thats unavoidable unless you uninstall the Softbank app. But only Go SMS will get the full MMS, and you can keep ignoring the Softbank mail notifications
Seems to be working good for me so far. I love being able to type and reply to messages without the annoying "sending" screen. And being able to see new messages as they appear instead of having to get out of the message being edited, to see the new messages

i can confirm it works on my DHD
The key is not only getting the right apns but also getting that user agent string in your mms app.
Cyanogen mod can do it, or go sms pro too if you don't want to run cm.
@SQ3.0dotJP
Not even the Softbank Mail App works, giving me the same error message as other apps. The solution you quoted wont work as well.
Regarding error messages: the only thing I can achieve is that either I get an instant error message (cant download...) or a timout error message (trying to download...after some time: cant download).
I think it's a minor detail, but I cant figure it out.
@patrixl
How to configure the User Agent with CyanogenMod? The only option I know is within message apps like Go SMS Pro and Handcent SMS.
The user agent code is in the line i posted. You tried it in go with no results? Wish i could help. Where are you BTW?

Hi guys,
I've spent the entire day trying to get this to work.
Just FYI, I have a Nexus S, rooted, Cyanogen mod 7 and just got a prepaid sim from softbank.
I've followed the instructions given here to the letter. Go SMS Pro is certainly a better app than the Softbank crap.
I can received messages, as in I caan see the title, but when I click them it says "Currently Unable to Download. Please Try Again Later". The same thing happens in the softbank app or another mms.apk I got where you could change the User Agent from a list. I also cannot send any messages, it just sits there with the little circle going around and around.
I've tried both the APNs that came with the Sim (Softbank(open) and Softbank(smile.world)) with no luck at all. I also downloaded the App the guy in the quoted post suggested, but it fails with any APN or web proxy combination.
I've also looked at other APNs online and tried a whole bunch.
I don't understand what setting is wrong. I've literally spent about 8 hours on this now, and I think I may be going a little crazy.
ANY help with this will be rewarded with knowing you have made my year (or at least my month).
Thanks very very much,
N.
SOLVED! Nexus S on Softbank Prepaid!
:clapping:
Hopefully this will help others who troll online trying to get their Android (perhaps a Nexus S) to work with Prepaid Softbank.
For the fix, I did the following. Note, one or two parts MAY be unneccesary, I'll test it all later. A quick note, I initially installed the Softbank Mail app from the Market, but since I'm rooted I just uninstalled it after it was all working and it still works GREAT! So you DON'T NEED to use that app. Just FYI.
Download the following:
Go SMS Pro
Go SMS Emoji (if you like Emoji)
Softbank Mail (Get rid of this if you are rooted)
Follow the instructions as stated by Tokyo_Dom, repeated here:
Go SMS
Under Receive Settings, check the Disable other message notification checkbox. This means SMS will only be received in Go SMS but unfortunately it cannot stop the MMS from being received by the stock app (more on that later)
In MMS Settings:
Check the Fill user agent manually checkbox (under User Agent)
Change the user agent to this:
Vodafone/1.0/V802SE/SEJ002 Browser/VF-NetFront/3.3 Profile/MIDP2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1
(Cant make any mistakes, so best to copy/paste)
Under APN Configuration, select Custom Access Point
MMSC: http://mms
MMS Proxy: sbmmsproxy.softbank.ne.jp
MMS Port: 8080
Under Important Tips, select the checkbox saying Stock messaging app uninstalled
If you dont select this then Go SMS wont download MMS at all. In that case Go SMS can be used for SMS only (i.e. other Softbank only) - MMS would go to the stock Softbank app.
Softbank Mail
Settings → S!Mail Settings → Receive/Display Settings → Mail receive method → Change to Sender/Subject only. Then under notification settings, turn off the lamp, turn off vibration, change the notification sound to be something quiet like "Facebook Pop"
APN Settings
On your Android, go to "Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks". Make sure only "Date enabled" is checked, you don't need national or international roaming.
Then click "Access Point Names". Here I deleted EVERYTHING so it wouldn't get confused. I don't want 3G internet, as on Prepaid it is crazy expensive.
Add a new APN with the following details:
Name: Mail Web Service (This can be anything you want)
APN: mailwebservice.softbank.ne.jp
Proxy: sbwapproxy.softbank.ne.jp
Port: 8080
Username:softbank
Password:qceffknarlurqgbl
Server: <Not set>
MMSC: http://mms/ (< This is "http : // mms /" without the spaces if the forum removes urls)
MMS Proxy: sbmmsproxy.softbank.ne.jp
MMS Port:8080
MCC:440
MNC:20
Authentication: PAP
APN type: mms
Save this. Now, at this point you SMail/MMS MIGHT be working. If it is, congrats and please let me know. If it isn't there are a few further steps that should get you there. I've found these on different forums, so appologies if I don't give credit where due. I think I found them here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21545288
PPP File
There MAY be a file on your phone at : / system / etc / ppp / peers / pppd-Ril.options.
There wasn't on mine, but I created one anyway (oh yeah, probably need to be rooted for this). It contains two lines for the Username and password, which you must change to correspond to the same username and password in your APN settings. Otherwise, it never seems to use the right one, and therefore your MMS or data will not work. You'll need to root your phone and figure out how to edit or copy an edited file onto your phone. So, change those two lines to look like this:
user softbank
password qceffknarlurqgbl
Give it a try and see if it all works.
Data On/Off
For some reason, whenever I first turn on the phone, the messaging only receives a header for each message, but refuses to download the actual message body. Even if I click 'download' on the message in the message app, it will not work, and will give me an error.
For the solution, everytime you start up your android, go to "Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks". UNCHECK "Date enabled", then reCHECK "Date enabled".
It was specifically after this fix that my messages started to be downloaded. It may have been this alone, but I already did the other bits. I might investigate more later, but I don't want to stop a good thing ATM.
SOME OTHER TIPS AND TRICKS
1) Make sure the APN is set to "mms".
I also found that it would work with the APN type set to blank instead of 'mms' in my APN settings. HOWEVER, with it set to blank, it was CONSTANTLY, I mean non-stop, using my 3G connection (as indicated in the status bar). It was trying to connect to the internet I presume. My Softbank prepaid service includes messaging but not internet service, nor do I have the APN for internet in my settings. But, without specifying my mms APN as 'mms' type, it trys to use that APN for internet as well. Anyway, that drained my battery very quickly! Set it to 'mms' so your 3G radio isn't working overtime to no benefit.
2) Alternate APNS that MIGHT work
APN: mailwebservice.softbank.ne.jp
Proxy: leave blank
Port: leave blank
Username:softbank
Password:qceffknarlurqgbl
Server:leave blank
MMSC:http://mms/
MMS Proxy: sbmmsproxy.softbank.ne.jp
MMS Port:8080
MCC:440
MNC:20
APN type: mms
Name: Open Softbank
APN: mailwebservice.softbank.ne.jp
Proxy:
Port:
username: softbank
Password: qceffknarlurqgbl
Server:
MMSC: sbmmsproxy.softbank.ne.jp
MMS Port: 8080
MCC: 440
MNC: 20
Authentication type: PAP
APN type: mms
The major difference is MMSC and MMSC Proxy. On my phone I leave the „MMS proxy“ field blank, and the proxy address from this article (sbmmsproxy.softbank.ne.jp) into the MMSC field.
apn carrier="SoftBank Internet"
mcc="440"

Sorry for MegaPost, just wanted to put this togeather for others to make it easy. It's about 24 hours work to finally get it sorted.
Thanks for clarifying things! I should have no problems now.
hey travisler just wondering - is your Nexus s a cdma version? I've been trying to get prepaid s-mail to work on my samsung captivate and it hasn't really been working. I'm just wondering if it's a hardware issue like whether the captivate just can't connect to softbank's mms network
Hey tanjierong,
My phone is from Korea so is GSM I'm pretty sure.
It is all still working fine, if you can connect to softbank (ie. you can make a call or recieve) then this hack should work for you. It has worked for a few other friends here too now with random android phones.
Hope you get it sorted.
Thanks
Omg travisler... I've been cracking my head since one month in Japan. Using Xperia s and I just can't get the app working. Tried several methods like pushing through mms.apk file using adb still doesn't works. Until I came across your post, works like a charm dude. Thanks a lot. Now I don't have to carry two phones at once :fingers-crossed:
Great bit of info you have provided here travisler.
I have put my Softbank 'dumbphone' (708sc) grey SIM into my Motorola Milestone, Cyanogenmod 7 phone. I want to use it like a 'dumbphone' that can use wifi so I have no need for a 'smartphone' data plan. It works as a telephone and I am in the process of getting 'text messaging' working. I have been reading quite a bit online and there is much information about getting MMS to work.
When one enables data as the APN guide instructs, this will only apply to MMS and not accidentally lead to huge bills for someone without a smart-phone data plan will it?
I followed the 'GO SMS' guide but not the 'APN Settings' guide and I ignored 'Softbank Mail', then rebooted. I get a new MMS sender and title notification in GO MMS Pro but when I try to download the full message I get the warning "please check that the network is available".
So I followed the instructions in the 'APN Settings' guide. There were already a couple of Softbank APNs there, they had a radio button beside them but my new one didn't. After a reboot there was a new icon (3G?) in the notification bar and I could download MMS but the first SB APN was still checked - I suppose the phone was using that SB APN and not the custom one. I removed both the original 2 SB APNs and rebooted and now I am back to receiving the warning "please check that the network is available" when I try to download MMS.
My MMS address is ****@q.vodafone.ne.jp as I already had a Vodafone subscription when Softbank took over and I cannot change the address to ****@softbank.ne.jp, would this require a tweak on the MMS settings I inputted?
Or perhaps my SIM card is the issue. It is not a 'pre-paid' SIM but one from my contracted 'dumb-phone'.
I'd appreciate some help please.
Thank you very much!
This worked for me with the white prepaid SIM.
I did all the steps you listed and used the first APN settings that you recommended, except that I had to set the APN type to "default,mms".
If I only enter "mms", I would sometimes get the 3G icon, but I could not download the messages.
I tried this and still no go. I have a sh203 sharp from softbank. I added the apn but i cannot edit the stock apn since i cannot find a way to root my phone.
When i chose the apn i created i loose my internet data..
Hey guys!
Apologies if this has already been asked but I tried doing a search and all i could find were threads on rooting and others which just didn't answer the question.
Basically I got my asus transformer today. All fine and dandy until I tried to set up my hotmail. I tried doing the settings --> accounts & sync --> add account --> email --> put in my email address (is a hotmail.co.uk) + password --> asks for POP3, IMAP, Exchange ---> click on exchange --> then i do the following:
Domain/Username : [email protected]
Password: password
Server: m.hotmail.com
The box marked 'Use secure connections' is ticked
The box marked 'Accept all SSL certificates' is not ticked
I click next and doesn't work...
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Just resolved it lol!
For those who are also having difficulties this is what you do (i was just messing about with the device)
settings --> accounts & sync --> add account --> email --> put in my email address (is a hotmail.co.uk) + password --> CLICK MANUAL --> click EXCHANGE then do:
domain/username : your email
password: your password
server: m.hotmail.com
click on the box saying 'use secure connection (SSL)'
leave the box marked 'accept all SSL certificates' unticked
click next and there you go
i have a similar problem. I receive the e-mails with my hotmail account, but i can't send any e-mails.
any suggestions?
Not sure but this may help.
Your outgoing port setting might be wrong,

Server port: 995
Outgoing Server Settings
Login Required: check
Username: [email protected]

Try changing it to one of these or 465 or 587
Hey all, I've set up my school email fine on the iPhone 4 and my S3 (had to switch due to signal issues), but I can't seem to get it to work with my Razr M that I've been using. I go to add new account -> other -> manual setup -> imap and I follow these instructions on my school website Set up Your Email Client - UBIT but I can't get past "checking incoming server settings" it just tells me "couldn't open connection to server."
I have my email and password right, for imap server I have in "imap.buffalo.edu" and port 993, security type SSL, authentication method auto.
if you set it up the same way you do on your s3 and iphone and still have problem, it maybe a problem with your Razr M email app,
try using a different email app from play store
