MMS settings for iPhone (jailbroken)

philip_tyrrell@

I am using a cracked iPhone on O2 Ireland.

I recently downloaded a package to allow sending and receiving MMS. It's called SwirlyMMS.

My problem now is I can't seem to get it to work with the setting I have found around. There seems to be a few opinions on O2 Ireland MMS setting.

Anyone using this package already and got is working?

The required fields are:-

MMSC. (i.e. mmsc.mms.o2.ie:8002) This seems to be the same with all sources.

Proxy. (seen a few options for this)

Then for MMS specific APN Settings I need.

APN. (seen a few options for this)

Username. (Some say no username some say use gprs)

Password. (Some say no password some say use gprs)


Any info much appreciated.

Thanks guys

Sorry guys but I think I might have got it working. I have been trying a mix of all the options I found and I think I got a set that works. It sent and was received. Have to wait till later to check if I can receive them though.

Here they are for anyone else trying.

MMSC. mmsc.mms.o2.ie:8002

Proxy. 62.40.32.40:8080

Then for MMS specific APN Settings

APN. wap.dol.ie

Username. gprs

Password. gprs

And set the image size to Medium with is 100kb

Looks like I jumped the gun a little. The sending MMS seems to work fine with these settings but with this package when you receive an MMS you have to "Fetch" it. When i try this I get a error.

timeout or error when reading http header
Could not fetch MMS
Check your settings!


Anyone got any ideas what I need to change from the above.

Thanks

Hi - I'm one of the suckers who signed up today for the O2 Ireland iPhone.

I never knew you couldn't really do MMS on an iPhone...can't believe I let that one slip by...but then again, it's never mentioned on any official demos or in the blurb.

So, to get it to work on one of the phones released today in Ireland, do I have to do something like the above?

thanks

Do you actaully use MMS a lot?
I mean you can just send an email from the iphone instead.
I never once used mms so wont miss it at all.

For email I use a paid subscription to Hotmail which unfortunatly the iPhone doesn't accomodate. You have to go into it through the internet so it is actually cheaper to send the MMS.

Being honest I don't use it very often but since I havn't had it I find I needed it a few times. It's handy on sites when you want to describe something to people who are off site. The photo can just speed up the conversation.
Mostly use it for sending though so I am not to worried about the receiving yet.

dude99

Well I suppose I previously would have often taken a pic with the phone cam and then sent it to someone by MMS - which is what happened today. My g/f wanted me to send her a pic I'd just taken - and then I found I couldn't.

I suppose I would probably use this functionality once a week....but then I probably did it because it was easy to do.

If there's no easy way around this I'll live with it. Now that it's released on O2 and other people will discover this, I guess there will be more questions about it.

Try swirlymms they have a new version, which should work

That is the package we are talking about.

It's the settings for retrieving the MMS messages set to you that I am trying to tie down.

KoolKid

Are you prepared to jailbreak your phone for to install Swirly MMS?
Why did you sign up to a contract so??
BTW I could never get that software to work on Vodafone

Come on man. Read the first post.

My phone is cracked and I just happen to be using it on O2 but I have had it for months and am not signed up to any iPhone contract.
It is obviously Jailbroken or I wouldn't have been able to crack it or put SwirlyMMS on it in the first place.

I can send MMS with Swirly I just can't get it to download them from O2 when I receive one even though it does let me know one is waiting for me.

Been looking now for hrs. can't find much info on it.

Right lads. Looks like it was a flault with SwirlyMMS. There is a new release of Swirly now available and it works perfectly with the above settings. You need some sort of viewer to see the incoming MMS which I havn't found yet. I'll keep you informaed.

I got an O2 PAYG SIM, do i need to request MMS capability from O2, or should it work by default

when i try and use swirly, latest version, i get an error

Failed to send MMS
The network reported: service denied (pe)

If you could send MMS before you started using the iPhone then there is no reason you sould not be able to send.

I think for PAYG though you need to change the APN to pp.wap.dol.ie

Try that.

Just out of interest. Does the M symbol in the top right of the screen beside the battery indicator turn green. If not then the settings a way off. When you make the change to the settings turn the phone off completely (i.e. hold top button for a few seconds). Then see if you get the symbol to go green. Should work then.

Gryzor

yep, the "M" is in green....still get the error though???

settings are:

MMSC. mmsc.mms.o2.ie:8002

Proxy. 62.40.32.40:8080

APN. wap.dol.ie / pp.wap.dol.ie (tried both)

Username. gprs

Password. gprs

The only other thing then is making sure your Image size is set to medium. If it doesn't work then I can only assume it's to do with the PAYG card.

Hi,

I have a 1.1.4 jailbroken iPhone...
I downloaded swirly MMS and when i go into it, it just goes back out after a second or two... Should i downgrade to 1.1.2 as it is said to be more stable and if so could someone give me a link 'cos i don't know how to do it.

Thanks,
I-T-Demo

Gryzor

same happened to me, i was on an older version...

get the latest version 0.3.6, by adding this to you're sources list in the installer

swirlyspace.com/SwirlySpace.xml

Edit: just saw you're on 1.1.4, i'm on 1.1.3 and it works.....worth a try anyway

First uninstall the old version from your phone. Then install the new one. Restart your phone completely after the install (i.e. hold the top button for a few seconds) when you restart it should work.

Then if you are with O2 bill pay go here http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055254749
for the settings to use.

You have to wait for the M symbol beside the battery indicator to turn green when your in SwirlyMMS for it to work.

Works for me. You will also have to install two other packages from installer to view received mms. MobileFinder and MobilePreview. Make sure you install Finder first and the one by Ste not by iClarified as for some reason Preview doesn't recognise it.

I am at 1.1.4 and this works for me but you must have the latest version.

philip_tyrrell@

Right.

To view your incoming mms you need to install MobileFinder and MobilePreview. Install Finder first and it must be the one by Ste the other one doesn't work.

Thanks, I have everything set up and sent a pic from my mam's phone to try it out and when i click on fetch it just says that either my GPRS settings aren't correct or my mms settings aren't. I am on meteor (which i should have said earlier, sorry ) and my GPRS settings are as follows.

I'm on meteor and the above settings worked perfectly for sending mms' but I'm having trouble receiving them. I have finder and preview installed but I'm not even getting the fetch text when I should be receiving a message. Is there something I'm missing? Do I need to have swirly open to receive an mms? Is the fetch text sent to my regular SMS invis or to swirly? Thanks for the help!

Make sure you have the latest version of Swirly installed. Version 3.7 is the only one that can receive messages here. There was a problem in all earlier versions with receiving in Ireland.

When you receive a message your phone beeps then you open Swirly and you will see the fetch button.
To view the message you then nee to open Preview and push the open button. Finder will open and you need to push the ~ button on the top right. Go into Media, then MMSFiles then you should see the MMS messages. Push the one you want to open.

Thanks for the quick reply, but it's still not working
I can send mms' without a problem but I'm still not getting the fetch message fro receiving mms'.
I have Swirly v.3.8 installed and have all the settings:
mmsc: mms.mymeteor.ie
proxy: 010.085.085.085:8799
apn: mms.mymeteor.ie
username: my
password: meteor
image size: medium

The only other thing that I figure could be related is that I don't have edge set up yet (should kick in on the 3rd) but seeing as I can send no problem and the apn is set to mms.mymeteor.ie rather than isp.mymeteor.ie I don't really see why this would be an issue.

Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated as I miss my mmsing!

davkav

Same as myself I can send MMS but not receive. Ive tried isp. and mms. for the APN but still no luck.

Anyone receive MMS on meteor yet?

vinnycoyne

yeah I can using the settings I posted earlier in this thread. Do you have edge access?

davkav

Whats the story with edge access actually. Do Meteor provide it now?

I can send MMS's but cant receive them??

yeah they provide it. you may have to call support to enable isp internet access on your account. watch out if you're on payg or if you don't have a data package on bill pay as you'll be charged a fortune.

i'm not sure why you can't receive using those settings as they work fine for me. have you ever used mms on that sim card?

Smyles

I called to get isp access turned on the other day and have a data package. It's not anywhere near as slow as I was expecting btw!! Anyway, I used to constantly send mms' with the same sim card in my old phones (maybe 10 a day) so it's not a problem with my account. I've tried exactly the same settings as you have but no luck It's getting really annoying now....

vinnycoyne

I'm not sure what's going on so. I'm using swirlymms 0.3.8, I don't know how well other versions work

noshankus

It works for me the above settings for Meteor!

When I press Fetch(1) it fails... then I press it maybe 3 or 4 times and eventually it works!

malu

hi,
just did all steps with swirly and the mms goes now and then, not all the time. Specially when sent abroad i get failure (tr) and sometimes within Ireland also.
Does anyone have the same problem?
Have I done anything wrong?
I am o2
Many thanks,

Malu

malu

followed philip's steps and it works, many thanks,
My question is how do i delete the mms in and out of the swirly menu.

many thanks for your good advice

v1.0 is in the pipe...
iPhonePosted by Tommy Svensson 2008-04-09 17:59:35
Hi all Swirly users!

Since we get several emails asking the same thing we will answer you all here. And the answer is yes, we are now in the phase of putting together the big 1.0-release, which delivers loads of new and improved features!

With this release, we will bring you an easy-to-use user-interface, inspired by the mail application, which allows you to navigate through your received and sent multi-media messages.

Speaking of multi-media, in this release you will not be limited to send and receive images - you will be able to send and receive images, text, audio and video.

You will be able to send and receive messages containing multiple multi-media parts. For example you can send an image together with a long text in the same message.

We will provide a built-in media viewer so that you can easily view your messages from within SwirlyMMS.

You can easily reply to, or forward the message and you will be able to select multiple recipients.

You will be able to save a multi-media item to a file of your choice.

To send a photo, you will be able to select it, not only from your camera roll but also from your synched photo library or use the built-in file browser to pick any file.

Also, you will be able to take a photo with the camera from within SwirlyMMS and send it right away.

To help you configure the application with the MMS settings, we have developed a package which handles settings delivered over-the-air!

So, you may think that all this sounds pretty good, but of course you still wonder: when will a version that includes all these features be released? And the answer on that is: hopefully within, hmmm... maybe three-four weeks.

/Tommy&Mats

PS.
We will publish a couple of screenshots really soon. Stay tuned!
DS.
PS2.
We have plans on adding really cool and useful features in the next forthcoming releases :-)

Hi,

Thanks for the help so far with this.

I have everything installed and two MMS waiting in Swirly but when I try to Fetch them it reads:

failed to connect to proxy: unable to locate host
Could not fetch any MMS
Check your settings!

I've checked and they all appear to be in order.

Anybody know what the problem might be or how to solve it?

I'm on Meteor.

Thanks!

Okay I have the exact O2 Billpay settings as posted here, I have an O2 Ireland iPhone with 1.1.4 Firmware, Jailbroken, Newest Version of Swirlymms but I continue to get this error :

Failed to send MMS
The network reported: service denied (pe)

I have checked and MMS is enabled on my account.

Can someone who is on O2 Billpay Ireland post the exact settings they are using to get this working ?

Gryzor

i'm in the same boat...would like a solution aswell...

I am at 1.1.4 and this works for me but you must have the latest version.

I have the settings as suggested and version 0.3.8 and I keep getting the message "The network reported: service denied (pe)"..... any suggestions?

Hi I'm using version 1.0 now and its brilliant but I still can't receive. Instead I get a text message pointing me to mymeteor.ie. I have sent mms from this sim before btw and I am using the above meteor settings. What am I missing here? It will send no problem.

vinnycoyne

Log in to MyMeteor.ie and click on Download Settings. If your phone is listed as an iPhone, try changing it to a phone you know has MMS. I think Meteor might be disabling MMS for iPhone users because this happened to me but started working again once i switched mobiles. My account still shows my old phone (Nokia 6103).

By the way the new SwirlyMMS is great.

What do you mean exactly? As in just change my phone on mymeteor or do you mean you swapped over to your old phone physically? I have been trying to get the settings on the meteor site but theres no options for any phones in the drop down box on safari, firefox or IE for me? Is the page down maybe?

Are you using the standard settings? If I ring meteor would they help or tell me to go elsewhere. I'm on meteor bill.
