O2 MMS (bill pay) Microsoft Smartphone settings

secret_squirrel

After many failed attempts to get MMS working with this phone and much scouring of this and other forums I have to admit defeat and ask if anyone can post the MMS settings for this phone on o2.ie contract.

I have WAP and GPRS working but just cant get MMS to work. Anyone help?

Incidentally I used the post here to get WAP and GPRS working.

secret_squirrel

The settings for any MS smartphone should do the trick.......

Dr. Dre

Just after getting the SP3 myself, class piece of kit.

.....
[Edit] Just re-read your post, I only have the credit phone settings
as provided by Dubwireless here.

Are you familiar with Modaco ? It's an indispensable site for smartphone users, if you check out thir forum there, they have a GPRS settings sticky - which may help you out.

If you want any smartphone links or best games/apps, let me know and I'll post the best ones here.

secret_squirrel

Are you on o2?

And does your mms messaging work on pre-pay?

Been to MoDaCo and although it was useful it was no help.

Hope your Imate works out better than mine. The joystick has just gone dodgy and the softkeys are playing up - my advice - if yours gets at all dodgy RMA quick - I have seen lots of complaints about the joystick playing up.

Dr. Dre

I'm on vodafone prepay at the moment. But I'm about to change to O2 as they give full GPRS services to their prepay customers whereas voda do not. I had a quick go with the settings given to me by Dubwireless for O2, but i couldn't get it to work. But I think I just need to get O2 to set me up on their access points, It's been a good few months since I used the O2 SIM. I might also try Meteor.

I was actually going to get an SP3i until the issue of the joystick was pointed out to me by Dubwireless, so I opted for the SP3. I got the Orange SPV-C500 on ebay brand new still in packaging for £118, an absolute friggin steal!
Unlocking it cost me £20 and I have pre-ordered a 1Gb miniSD card for £74, SD card should be here within 10 days
I also got two "display phones" of the same model for £8, just in case I damage my real phone, I can use the display phones as donors for parts.

Playing Divx's on it has to be seen to be believed, the picture is just so good. I'm totally impressed by the thing, it's an order of magnitude better than my last Smartphone, which was the original SPV running windows mobile 2002.

I'm still doing investigation into the various other ROM builds that i could possibly use, i.e. Imate, QTEK, etc.. Basically any that are based on the HTC Typhoon.

secret_squirrel

Would be interested to see what results you get from different rom builds.

Hi All,

does any one have the settings for MMS on the O2 network that I can use with MS smartphone OS.

I've had a look through older threads but no joy.

Anybody any ideas?

thanks

R

BTW, I've tried gprs settings, no joy

Try ringing O2

I emailed them and they do not support Smarthpone,

The OS on the XDA is PocketPC phone edition

Dr. Dre

1. Tell us what account type you have i.e. bill pay or credit
2. RING O2 and get them to make sure your account is set up for access to the relevant access points etc..

[EDIT] You could also tell us what model of smartphone and what revision of windows mobile it has too.

hi, as Dr. Dre highlights, before asking for help read this Stickey Thead, especially the relevant info it suggest you provide...
HELLO THERE... About to ask how to get connected for Web/WAP/Email/MMS/Bluetooth etc.

I've have been on to O2 and they have sent me the settings, I have configured and got working the GPRS, I have also used the MMS setting they sent me

use http://web.o2.ie/personal/services/mobile_web/user_guides.jsp


However, even with all this info correct, as I interpreted it still no joy downloading MMS messages.

I was hoping that someone on this forum had a smarthpone already configured for O2 and could tell me where I may be going wrong.

Thx

hi, there are two places to configure the Microsoft Smartphone handset:
1) Connection, where you set up the correct GPRS Access Point (i.e. WAP not the ISP one)
2) MMS Setup, where you specify the connection (i.e. the set-up in 1) and the MMS IP, Port and server etc.

Give this a shot:

Thanks for that,

Got it working

Sweet!

flywheel

no worries - did you get the clip-on camera with the handset?

secret_squirrel

Dub - you are a gentleman and a scholar - I thought I had tried every permutation of the o2 settings to get mms to work on my Sp3i. works like a charm at long last!!

MAny thanks.

flywheel

good to hear, sorry i missed your thread (now merged)!

redzer007

yep I did get the camera, and infact I may be selling the whole lot soon due to purchase of SPV c500 (imate SP3)

The battery just is not good enough, I only get a days usage on the SPV

Dr. Dre

Redzer, if you dont fancy the look of the Orange logo on the case of your new SPV C500, I have posted my experience with removing it here.

hi, 'Accessories' is usually towards the end of the Programs menu... you need to forward through the pages of the Programs Menu until it appears...

which make/model of handset do you have?

On my Win2003 2nd ed smartphone its in Start...more...more...configurations...mms settings

Hi All,

Im back again, with a similar problem,

I've got my new SPV c500 and unlocked it, all good,

and now Im back to hassel of setting up GPRS, Wap and MMS messaging again.

The layout of the OS differs from Smartphone 2002, so Im a little lost.

The new connections I am setting up, are not appearing in connections options.

Im going to try Dr. Dre's sugar cube trick later, (see link above) I'll let you know how I get on.

to recap:

Phone: SPV c500 (i-mate SP3, HTC Typhoon)

Operator: o2 (bill)

require setup instructions for GPRS and MMS

Thanks again

R

redzer007

Update on this,

I have now flashed the phone with the latest ROM upgrade from i-mate, and I am getting some where now, not working yet, but I recon I'll get there.

I now have an Orange branded i-mate SP3, look strange

R

redzer007

/bump/

still looking for these settings,

I have the gprs setting working, and have the wap configured correctly,

Still no joy with MMS

Thx

flywheel

limited time to post, but 2003 is pretty much the same as 2002 for general Data / GPRS connection set-up...

for MMS make sure you have configured a connection for the MMS GPRS Access Point then configure the MMSC settings, look in:

Programs > Configurations > MMS Settings

in there Menu you should be able to set up the MMSC Settings entering the values that have been previously listed, post back if you are still stuck - or ping secret squirrel for a response (he may have more time than me at the mo)

redzer007

tried all the sttings above,

here is what I think it should be

http://www.geocities.com/redzer007/MMS.JPG

what stupid thing am I doing?

R

flywheel

hi, what are the options given in the "Connects to" list on the first screen, what did you call that GRPS connection?

what are the options given in the "Connect Via" list on the 3rd screen?


when creating the GPRS connection for the MMS Access point, only APN and user/pass are entered, don't enter the DNS or IP address

then the MMSC is configured referencing the connection created above

secret_squirrel

Ok here's one super post listing all my Smartphone 2003 Settings for O2 bill pay. (Imate Sp3i but should be valid for all MS Smartphone 2003 2nd Ed phones and probably the older MS OSes as well.)

NOTE this wont work for phones running Pocket PC Phone Edition. (Imate Jam etc)

Phew think thats it. Remember to set Pocket Internet Explorer to use the right connection (GPRS Internet) from its Options Menu.

Alternatively Download Opera for MS Smartphone Beta (ifs its still avail.) Its speed over GPRS internet has to be seen to be believed. Much much faster than IE.

Now try sending an MMS Message. PM me if you need some one on the same network as a test subject.

Caveat - I have never sucessfully tested pure WAP browsing - since I dont use it.

If you find any discrepancies in this PM me/Dubwireless and I will edit or Im sure Dub will directly.

Hi Secret_Squirrel

I put your setting into the Orange SPV C550 that I was using on the o2 Ireland network. The setting worked perfect and I was able to send and receive MMS and surf the web with the phone. In fact, your setting where the only one’s that worked.

I then got myself the I-Mate SP5 Smartphone running Windows 2005 and now I can’t get anything working. I installed the settings exactly as I had them in the SPV C500 but still no luck.

After searching the internet for the past 5 days I am now at a loss.
Can you point me in the right direction for the setting for the I-mate SP5 to work on the o2 Ireland network. I have contacted o2 Ireland and they have no settings for this phone. I also registered on the Club I-Mate site and they only have the settings for o2 UK.

I am on a bill contract

Regards
Alan

Over the moon now. You made me a very happy man

RYR154

Don't know if thats the way its ment to be or its just the way it happened as a one off.

Phone: Imate SP5
Op SYS: Windows Mobile 2005


Can someone please help!!!
I recently installed then deleted the Onix Task Manager on my phone and now I am having a real problem.

I can’t sent MMS messages as I keep getting the message
“Your message is larger then the sending limit you specified under “MMSC Settings”
I get this message even if the MMS message is only 2k.
I have Max. Sending Size: 100K I have tried it with 250K and still get the same message.

I also noticed that there are now two extra settings under
Start>Messaging>5 MMS>MENU> 8 OPTIONS > 4 ACCOUNT OPTIONS > 3 MMS >MENU > 1 MMSC SETTINGS

I did have:
GPRS MMS

I now have
Default
Default
GPRS MMS

If I delete the two “default” settings and turn my phone off and back on again they reaper.
The setting inside the “default” are both the same.

Can anyone tell me,

This is realy driving me nuts. :mad:

on o2 prepay, i could use tcp/ip gprs straight away without any activation.. my smartphone is a htc tornado, the vodafone v1240, but called qtek 8310 in mine. i just apn pp.internet and leave everything else blank.. works a treat.

RYR154

Hi Flodis79
Where do I put the pp.internet setting.
In VPN or GPRS.

Not quite sure how to do this.

RYR154

Just a quick follow up to my MMS o2 Ireland Setting.

Up until yesterday I was still unable to receive MMS messages on my Imate SP5.
I could send them but not receive them. Even sending was a problem. It would only send on some occasions and after being connected to GPRS for what seemed like a life time.

I got on to Imate and asked them had they come across this problem before.
It works out that all the phone needed was a software update.

I installed the update last night and re-entered my MMS setting and tried to send an MMS message. It connected really quickly and sent the massage within seconds.

I was also able to send an MMS with Bluetooth switched on with no ill effects.

So the moral of the story is:
If you want to get MMS on your Imate SP5 on the o2 Ireland network. Use the setting listed in this post by secret_squirrel and add the latest Window’s Mobile 5 updates. You should have no problems.

Flying

Also point to note you will be able to short get the O2 Ireland ROM for the O2 XDA IQ or the Rebranded SP5, this will also have all the necessary Settings for MMS and GPRS built in for Ireland.

If you get onto O2 you should be able to get the Cab file will all settings and also the O2 User Interface

RYR154

The o2 Ireland setting would be great. Not so for the o2 user interface.
I had the SP3 and installed the interface for Vodafone. I discovered that some items are disabled and not visable.
