Windows Mobile 6.1 MMS Settings

bluferbl

Hello, I have an Acer DX900 and I can not work out how to get MMS working. Could anyone give me step by step instructions on how (and where) to put in the settings needed? I'm on O2 Contract in Ireland. FYI SMS and internet access are working fine, it's just MMS that will not work. Many thanks, David

Have you read the FAQ?
FAQ = http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055516939

O2 MMS settings are here:

Step by step guide for Meteor MMS on WM 6.1 here:
http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=59526109&postcount=12

Just follow the step by step but put in the O2 settings instead of the Meteor ones.

I read many pages of the FAQ but did not find what I needed.

The first section of the Meteor settings was easy to transpose over to the O2 settings. When it came to the 2nd part, the MMSC settings, I ran into trouble:

MMSC Settings:
Start => Messaging =>SMS \ MMS => Menu => MMS Options <---- I have MMS Settings rather than options
Preferences tab
Save sent messages: ticked
Reject all messages: unticked
Allow delivery report: ticked
Allow read report: ticked
Retrieval mode: Auto
Attempts before giving up: 1
Photo resolution: VGA (640x480) <

---

I have no option for resolution
Servers tab <

---

I have no servers tab
Press New
Server name: Meteor MMS <

---

no server tab so nowhere to put in this information
Gateway: 10.85.85.85 <

---

or this
Port number: 8799 <

---

or this
Server address: http://mms.mymeteor.ie <

---

or this
Connect via: My MMS Server
Sending size limitation: 300k
Wap version: WAP 2.0
Press Done
Set this configuration as default by pressing the 'set as default' button on the mms configuration page and then press ok.

It's odd that you don't have the same options available as those listed in the FAQ, as those options are present on my Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1i which runs Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional just as your device does.

Do you have any other options available within messaging that allows you to enter in an MMS server name, gateway, port number etc?

I suspect that the options may be different because the version of Windows Mobile has been modded for use with 2 SIMS - just a guess!

After spending ages messing about with settings I think I have got it to work. Unfortunately the MMS messages that I received in the first place which made me realise that it wasn't working had expired. However, I was able to send myself an MMS message and it worked.

Thanks for your help!

If you get a spare minute to write up a quick walkthrough we can add it to the FAQ for the next person who has the same query. Thanks

bluferbl

Unfortunately I used the less than scientific method of continuously changing settings until something appeared to work. In other words...I have no idea what made it work in the end! :-)

You'll still be able to see what they're set to now though. Not to worry though

Ok, I have an SE Xperia, so it should be roughly the same as your phone.
In Start-->Settings, Connections Tab
Do you have a Connection Setup Icon??

Hi billbond,

I eventually got it working by tinkering with settings until I got an MMS to send and receive.

The DX900 is a dual SIM phone and I think that the Windows Mobile install is a bit different to a standard setup.

Cheers,

David

The ISP APN is no longer the APN primarily used by Meteor for full Internet access, it is now the Data APN; the Data APN is also setup on every customer's account by default.

If you change the APN name to data.mymeteor.ie and use my as the username and wap as the password, you should be able to connect to the Internet without any issue.

Cheers for that, much appreciated!

Did you put SPB Mobile Shell on your Xperia?
