I-Mate SP5 on Meteor

TerrorFirmer

I have an sp5 on meteor but I can't get the MMS/GPRS to work. The standard meteor settings include ones that there is no place for on the options the I-Mate gives me.

What I have:

Name: (Meteor MMS)
MMSC: (http://mms.mymeteor.ie)
WAP Gateway: (this is the one I'm not sure about. Does 010.085.085.085 go here? If so, then what am I doing wrong...)
Port: (9021)
Connect VIA (option of wap network, secure wap, internet)
Max Sending size: (100k or whatever)
Wap Version (option of 1.2 or 2.0, i assume its 1.2)

Can anyone clarify what should exactly be in there? I don't care much about using gprs as a means to connect to the net but I do want to be able to use mms....

If it won't work I will have to sell it...

Also, for GPRS settings.

I have:

Connects to (choice of wap network, secure wap, internet)
Access point:
User Name
Password:
Primary DNS:
Secondary DNS:
IP Address:

Again, I just don't know where all the settings are supposed to go...there are more settings listed on the configuration stick then I have options available.

for MMS you need to set up two areas on the handset, going to try the WAP 1.2 setting - just to be sure you had MMS working before on another handset ok? these are the referencing the menu on an SP3i but the settings should be the same if the route to them is slightly different on your SP5...

1) Enter details for the wap access point used to retrieve MMS, and set default connection
Start > Settings > Data Connections > Menu > Edit Connections > GPRS Connections > Menu > Add

Description: Meteor MMS
Connects to: Secure WAP Network
Access Point: mms.mymeteor.ie
leave the rest blank

Then Done > Done > Done so you are back to the Data Connections Screen and where it lists Secure WAP Connection select Meteor MMS

2) Enter the actual MMS details themselves
Start > Configurations > MMS Settings > Menu > MMSC Settings > Menu > New

Name: Meteor MMS
MMSC: http://mms.mymeteor.ie
WAP Gateway: 10.85.85.85
Port: 9201
Connect VIA: Secure Wap Network
Max Sending size: 100k (or try smaller if it fails to send)
Wap Version: 1.2

Hope that works... (fingers crossed)

For ISP you create a new GPRS connection with the Meteor ISP details, and set in the main screen of Connections Settins, set Metor ISP as the default 'Internet Connection', then e.g. Internet Explorer > Options > Connections you configure it to use Connect via ' The Internet'. Or for email, MSN etc... Be aware of the data charges with using this though and any data packages you can avail of with Meteor...

p.s. as it has wifi - where available use that for browsing, email, msn, skype if possible - rather than the operators data network

Thanks a lot for the reply, but still no joy.

What I have is:

For MMS settings...Start>Messaging>MMS>Menu>Options>Account Options>MMS>Menu>MMSC Settings.

Which is:

Name: Meteor MMS
MMSC URL: http://mms.mymeteor.ie
Wap Gateway: 10.85.85.85
Port: 9201
Connect Via: Secure Wap
Max Size: 100k
Wap: 1.2 Version


Then I have Start>Settings>Connection>GPRS. Which I have set up 'Meteor MMS' with:

Connects to: Wap Network
Access Point: mms.mymeteor.ie
User Name:
Password:
Primary DNS:
Secondary DNS:
IP Address:


As above, it flat out fails instantly. If I mess around and enter a random IP address in the GPRS settings, it tries to send and the GPRS symbol comes on, but it fails.

Ah, it worked. I had to set both to non-secure. Thanks a million for the help though. Didn't realize I was supposed to set two profiles.

Super appreciated, very happy now! Love this phone...

And yes I use Wi-Fi all the time, would never use them for net usage.

oops... yeah they both have to be the same (secure or non-secure) i'd mixed them sorry... tech support post longhaul flight and hadn't a meteor sim on hand to test usually keep the non secure wap for the browser's wap connection if needed... but if not using then use if it for MMS... (at least on O2 or Voda configs... unless meteor doesn't like secure wap for MMS?)

yup it's a nice handset, and lots of handy apps for it, enjoy!

TerrorFirmer

ok running into one problem...can send mms messages no problem, and the recipients do actually get them....but I can't recieve any. The gprs symbol does come up, looking like i'm receiving something or at least trying to....then dies.

Any ideas? Thanks again for the help so far.

try using in the WAP 2.0 details:

APN: mms.mymeteor.ie
Homepage: http://mms.mymeteor.ie
Proxy Server: 10.85.85.85
Port: 8799
Wap: 2.0 Version

TerrorFirmer

Yeah I've tried both now, same thing. Send, and recipients get them fine, but I can't receive anything.

flywheel

ok can you try changing the settings to secure wap...

unfortunately the meteor test sim has gone awol here so can't give it a go at the mo... will try picking up another during the week and see if i can get it going on a WM Smartphone here...

flywheel

ok - can you check if you have an existing gprs connection established (wap / isp) when you get an MMS - they may be an issue when an existing connection is established and the MMS app tries to kick one off to recieve the MMS

can you try to kill the existing (wap / isp) connection, then go into MMS inbox and manually select download...

tried a meteor sim in the i-mate SP3i and got MMS working send/receive (with no previoulsy estalished GRPS connection running)
