Palm Pre - Meteor MMS

Professey Chin

Hi Guys

Been given a Palm Pre to play with and so far I've managed to unlock and get the Meteor Data working on it but I havnt been able to get the MMS settings working.
I've tried every combination I can find on their site but everything seems to come back as being wrong. Dont suppose theres anyone here whos been able to get it working?

Cheers

No luck on this yet
Anyone got ideas? The meteor shop was no help

On a side note, how long does it take to get approval on the meteor forums?I registered the same day I posted this to try asking there and still havnt been accepted :pac:

These are the basic settings needed for meteor mms. You have to find somewhere to enter all of these settings and probably a way to set those settings as the default:

data bearer: packet data or GPRS, not GSM or circuit switched
APN: mms.mymeteor.ie
authentication: normal or PAP, not secure
proxy address: 10.85.85.85
proxy port: 8799
homepage: http://mms.mymeteor.ie

None of the other things matter like username and password, IP address etc. Just leave them as the default.


I had a quick google and this thread seems to have instructions on how to enter them. Based on that guide I've filled in below how you'd enter the meteor internet and mms settings. Steps 1 to 8 are for internet and 9 on are for mms.


1) Open Phone App
2) Tap the top left corner of the display and select Preferences
3) In the Preferences menu, scroll down to Network and tap Manual Settings to ON
4) You should now see Edit Network Settings.
5) Tap Internet APN at the top
6) Enter data.mymeteor.ie into Internet APN
7) Leave username blank
8) Leave password blank
9) Click Change Settings
10) Tap MMS APN at the top
11) Enter mms.mymeteor.ie into MMS APN
12) Leave username blank
13) Leave password blank
14) Enter http://mms.mymeteor.ie as MMSC
15) Enter 10.85.85.85 as MMS proxy (try 10.85.85.85:8799 too, see below for why)
16) Click Change settings
17) Press the orange key + sym and r on the keyboard. This will reboot the phone.


On those instructions there doesn't seem to be anywhere to enter the MMS proxy port but one of the replies says that adding it to the proxy URL worked so try the MMS proxy as 10.85.85.85:8799

BTW, don't assume the problem is the phone. If you enter those settings and it still doesn't work put your sim card into a phone that you know can receive meteor mms and send yourself an mms. If it doesn't work with your sim but does with someone else's it means you're not provisioned properly for mms and you need to call customer care and get them to fix it
