it's nearly to do with Vodafone GPRS/MMS....

Hi all, sorry to bother you with this one!
I got my O2 XDAII unlocked and used it with no drama at all with my Vodafone SIM. I then put the GPRS settings in and it worked fine with MSN Messenger and IE etc. I then put the MMS settings in and started sending and receiving picture messages perfectly. :lol:
The problem, i hear you ask....
Well, I got TomTom 3 and a program called POI Warner which is used to alert me of POI's (read, speed cameras :wink: ) and it wanted to connect to the Internet to update it's database. It always used to try once i'd dropped the XDA in the cradle. As something wasn't right somewhere, it used to lock up the XDA until it gave up trying and then it would release the XDA so that i could use it again. This all seemed to be because of the Activesync passthrough settings. :?
I set them as I should have (after reading on here what to do - thanks!) and then it worked fine. Still with me...??????
It seems that i can't send picture message anymore :shock:
I have all the settings from the other posts on here but somehow, my settings in the connections screen have gone loopy.
Can someone on Vodafone PLEASE PLEASE let me know what settings they have in the connections screen, be it two sets (My Work Settings and another) or (Vodafone GPRS and Vodafone MMS - as i used to have). And when you click the advanced tab at the bottom of the connection screens, which programs do you have for 'Programs that connect to the internet should use' and programs that connect to a private network should use'???
when you edit either of these, it comes up with ANOTHER connection screen - what you have got in there??
This is on top of the Server mentioned in the MMS composer screen that needs another mention of the same server in there!!!
If I can get this working with someone's help , I hereby promise to take a screenshot of every screen I have and put an idiots guide to getting this working up on the Web should I need it again!!
thanks in advance Guys!!

Firstly to clean things up a bit it'd look in the registry under [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ConnMgr\Destinations] and remove all but:
'The Internet'
'Work'
'My Work Network' - or whatever it was renamed to
'My ISP' - or whatever it was renamed to
Then resetup all the connections.....
Here are the settings I have, which work perfectly.
Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using:
Vodafone Internet (My ISP renamed)
Programs that automatically connect to a private network should connect using:
Vodafone Live! (My Work Network renamed)

Vodafone VPA Compact

VPA Compact is out in the uk on Vodafone now!It's been a long wait.Now i can try the new shape out and retire my jam

but isn't the jam and the vpa compact the same model but from different carriers/distributors :roll:

As a vodafone user I'd love to use the vodafone firmware.....is it possible for anyone to extract it?

Yeah they are.But my jams started playing up and i thought i was going to have to splash out alot of money again for a new one.Then vodafone called me and told me i could upgrade my phone.A previous woman had told me i could have the qtek 9090.I'm not too keen on the size though,then another guy told me the vpa was out now and it cost me nothing!It's the same as the jam although the housing has go more thought into the layout and it just looks a bit better overall.A kind of facelift!

Cheers.I'll give it a go tomorrow and see if i can post it on here if anyones interested

Got the vpa today.All i can say is the build quality over the jam/mda/mini units is soo much better.It's got a much more solid feel and no bits of plastic hanging off like my jam!Happy[/list]

So, Now you´ve got your device...
But where is the dump/backup of your ROM?
Any news about this?
Stefan

Got to say Jay you're lucky that Vodafone UK phone you with upgrades. I have to keep hounding them and when I do get through its to some idiot who is usually less competant than the last (hard to believe).
May do the same as you,
M.

Hi.I'll try that rom dump asap

It's definately worth it,even though you have to speak to loads of boneheads at vodafone that don't even know what it is and keep telling you they don't have that phone and they've never heard of it.I called up the day i could upgrade and luckily got to speak to someone with a bit of knowledge.Ordered it thursday afternoon and arrived friday morning!Defintely worth it,much better build than the magician! :wink:

Have you been able to successfully surf the internet?
I have got an I-mate on VF UK contract and have run the automatic VF UK contract config setup and can successfully connect using the VF WAP Connection and VF MMS connection, but if I try the VF Internet GPRS connection, I get every time the error message 'The answering modem has disconnected'. Sad
Do you have the same experience or does it work for you?
I can only load wap pages using the WAP connection and can send mms, but can't view any html sites.
Cheers,
Antoine

My web works fine.It was all set up out the box.Everything seems to work mms web etc.The settins are different to what i had on my jam when i had to use the cab files from imate.This time in connections there is a contract internet setting already setup and should work from the off.Have you not got this?

Hmm... I am really miffed to be honest. Out of the box (i-mate) I had three configs:
Connections: Vodafone MMS and Vodafone WAP:
Modem: Cellular Line (GPRS)
APN: wap.vodafone.co.uk
Username: wap
Password: wap
WAP proxy: 212.183.137.12:9201
(I have tried entering the same proxy for html, but that didn't solve the problem either)
Connection: Vodafone Internet:
Modem: Cellular Line (GPRS)
APN: internet
Username: web
Password: web
I can connect using the WAP and MMS one, but any html page times out. I can read specific wap sites though, like for example the wap edition of BBC mobile.
The Vodafone Internet connection is the one that doesn't work. But maybe I have the incorrect settings? What settings do you have?
I am running ROM: 1.12.00 WWE, Radio: 1.12.10, Protocol: 1337.42, ExtROM: 1.12.131 WWE.
Cheers

They are the settings i had on my jam too.3 different connections.But on the compacy there is only one called contract connection and it doesn't let you edit it like the others so i can't see the details.Have you downloaded the cab off the i mate website with uk contract vodafone settings in it?

They were already installed. But reapplied them anyway and still no luck. It is consistent... that's the only positive.

Is the voice quality any better than the jam

Toine,
You have everything right apart from the email/internet GPRS settings.
I use two connections (always have) on my QTEK S100 for Vodafone UK. You need 1 to access MMS and another to send/receive email and browse the internet.
In SETTINGS/CONNECTIONS/CONNECTIONS
1. You should have "Vodafone Internet:" connection defined as is above
2. Under "My Work network" you should "Add a new modem connection" with the settings you have in "Vodafone MMS and Vodafone WAP:" except there is no username/password (you have wap defined).
In MESSAGING/TOOLS/MMS SETTINGS
1. Set "Connect via" to "My work network".
2. Make sure you have your server defined with the settings you have in the next tab. This should be (in case you don't have it):
Server name: Vf UK MMS (for example)
Gateway: 212.183.137.12
port number: 9201
Server address: http://mms.vodafone.co.uk/servlets/mms
This set-up should now tell the imate to connect to email and the internet with the "APN: internet" connection and connect for MMS to "Vf UK MMS"
Hope this helps, let me know if you have any problems,
Martyn

jaythemagician: can you give us yr VPA ROM, Radio and Protocol version (as in SETTINGS|Device Information) ?

Cingular USA MMS Settings?

Just joined Cingular today and am having MMS problems. I've searched on "Cingular MMS" thruout this forum but have not seen any WIZARD USA MMS connection settings. Remember, WIZARD is using WM5 which has a few differences in these setups.
I signed up with Cingular's MEdiaWorks which has data and MMS. I have the data connect working. My settings:
1) My ISP
2) Add a new modem connection
3) Name for connection: <user choice>
4) Modem: Cellular Line (GPRS)
next
5) APN: wap.cingular
next
6) Username, password & domain: leave blank
finish
This works, connects to Cingular data and I've had up to 135Kbps data rates which is definantly EDGE speeds.
Now for MMS, which I can't get working. I also have never used MMS so I'm not sure of it's interaction with connections, WAP and the phone.
I send a MMS message, it connects,is sending and returns with error message:
"Unable to send your message(s). Your message(s) will be saved in the Outbox."
In MMS section, I click of Menu (WM5)-MMS Configuration, up comes 3 tans. Here are my Servers settings:
Server Name: Cingular MMSC
Gateway: 66.209.11.61
Port Modem: 9201
Server address: http://mmsc.cingular.com
Connect via: (I've tried My ISP and My Work Network without success)
Sending size limitation: 100K
WAP Version: WAP 2.0
In searching, suggestions were to set up a "My Work Network" connection as follows:
Connection name: WAP
Modem: Cellular Line (GPRS)
next
APN: wap.cingular
User name: [email protected]
Password: CINGULAR1
Domain: blank
finish
Then they said to set up a proxy server which I did as follows:
Check box "This network connects to the Internet"
Check box "This network uses a proxy server ..."
Leave proxy server blank
Click on Advanced
Set both WAP and Secure WAP to:
Server: 66.209.11.61
Port: 9201
User names, password and domain, leave blank
This does not work.
Interestingly, the two connections (My ISP & My Work network) have the same APN, wap.cingular?????
I read one post saying something like you had to configure MEdia Works on your phone. What does this mean?
Any thoughts in the WIZARD community would be helpful. Does Cingular USA even support MMS for the WIZARD??? Yikes
I haven't even got to setting up Express Mail yet. I'm sure another post is comming.
Thanks all
Craig

Just install this and it should work. :lol:

Opps, my broadband was a little slow in filling out the rest of your message. Got it but I've tried this CAB without success. I'll give it another try.

yah, i just tried to send an mms and it didn't work. have you tried giving cingular a call? If they can't help waiting a month or so would be good because thats when the wizard100 is supposed to come out on cingular.

see http://www.bengalboy.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=42&forum=8 for the settings

The HTC WIZARD for Cingular is actualy the HTC 8125 model. Do a google search on 'Cingular 8125' and you see lot's of info. Even Best Buy are starting to carry them ...
I signed up for expressMail from Cingular but they don't have the phone client posted on their web site for the 8125 (Wizard). They do have the HTC 2125 (Smartphone) client but don't offer that phone for sale at their site anyway.
I think we're getting closer to the Wizard at Cingular.

best buy is selling the 8125's alreadY? i'm gonna make a trip down there today!

I have been browsing quite a bit to find all appropriate settings for my XDA Exec to work on Fido in Montreal. I also spoke to customer service; they were kind enough to walk me through basic setup and flip a switch on my account to allow MMS and WAP.
Could you compare your parameters with the following?

MMS Vodafone UK with WM5

Help! - Has anyone else transferred their O2 xda Exec to Vodafone, or does anyone have a V1640 that they can check the settings for MMS with me?
I've changed over to voda, have loads of apps installed. Vodafone's business help line seem blissfully unaware of the extra settings inside the Messaging App on WM5 for MMS config.
Normal internet connectivity is ok, but at the moment I can't seem to download any new MMS messages. They arrive in the inbox and the size shows up, but I just can't download.
For the Connection details - Stangely, using the dedicated IP that the support team provided for the IP address of 212.183.137.012 doesnt work, when its on IP address is provided, it does try and access messages, but just can't download them.
Its got to a stage now, where they seem unwilling to help because its "not a handset they provide" despite me explaining that its the same mobile OS as dozens of other handsets and the settings will be exactly the same as on any WM5 based device.
The settings they can't seem to help with are those inside the messaging app on the menu "MMS Configuration" (see below)
----------------------------
Messaging > MMS > Menu >MMS Configuration
Preferences Tab:
Retrieve messages immediately (ticked)
Download on home network only (unticked)

Can anyone help, its been several days now and its really annoying me!

Annoying, but here's how
Hi Derek,
I just got this working again after having the same problem as you. Here is my setup (based on WM6 on an O2 XDA Exec running on Vodafone) - and the trick you need to know is at the end:
Settings -> Connections, I created a new modem connection called "Vodafone MMS & Data" of type "Cellular line (GPRS, 3G)". Under this setting, I have created two connections, one called "3g data" and one called "3g Wap Connection".
"3g data" is set up with access point "internet", username "internet", and password (I think) also "internet"
"3g Wap connection" is set up with access point "wap.vodafone.co.uk", username "wap" and password "wap".
OK, so you have a connection with two options set up as a result of this. For 99% of your day-to-day browsing, you just leave the connection set to use "3g data" by default, but when you get the notification of an MMS message, disconnect any existing online session and then go in and select the "3g Wap connection" option, then tap-and-hold and select Connect. Once you're online with the Wap connection you can then go and download your MMS message.
Hope this helps,
Darren

Here's what to do
In Settings/Connections/Connections you should have one connection set up under My ISP for internet access:
Name: VF Web (or whatever)
Select a modem: Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)
Access point name: internet
user name: web
password: web
You should also have one connection set up under My Work Network:
Name: VF MMS (or whatever)
Select a modem: Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)
Access point name: wap.vodafone.co.uk
user name: wap
password: wap
Finally set up your MMS configuration to Connect via: My Work Network
That's how to link internet and MMS to the two separate connections.

I did indeed notice the date of the thread. However the advice given here was not the best solution. I was trying to set up MMS on my O2 Exec on a Vodafone sim for the first time a few days ago, and couldn't find a complete and proper solution anywhere. Thankfully I managed to work it out and posted it here in case it helps others. The Universal and WM5 are both still alive and kicking.

Thats ok mate, just joking
Thanks for your comment
