I've recently acquired an xda mini s from 02 as a free upgrade, however i want to put a vodafone sim card in it.
I've got the gprs working, but the mms isnt at all.
I've tried numerous cab files, can anyone help? maybe typing the settings in by hand?
please

sounds like you've done a soft reset after a hard reset bypassing the extended rom install? The only way to get the MMS application is to hard reset and do a "Basic" install then remove the O2 stuff from the Windows startup folder. Once you've done this you'll have the MMS app with O2 settings that you can just change to Vodafone settings.
Ok, tried this and still not workin.
What is going on here?!
do you meand MMS isn't working still or you still don't even have MMS in Pocket outlook
Do a search for removing the O2 stuff, there are many topics with the cab files to install to recover the MMS inbox
If however you have the inbox, just not the settings call vodafone and get them to tell / e-mail you
or go here http://www.filesaveas.com/gprs.html
I managed to fix this problem finally.
The problem was that the MMS software was trying to connect using the vodafone Live access point, which isn't correct. had to set up a whole new connection for the MMS settings, it is now working fine.
Any chance you could post those settings here as I'm having exactly the same problem?
SMS is fine it's just the MMS I cant get working, Inbox is there just the setting that seem to be wrong.
This helped me out:

I can now send, but not receive MMS with my voda sim on my mini-s
Perfect Thanks,
I can now send and recieve MMS, SMS and Surf the "world wide wait"
Not sure why you cant recieve MMS though, I followed your instructions to the letter and all worked straight away, albeit a bit slow but then I think that's a tarrif thing with Vodafone. (I'm on a corporate contract with my own unlocked Mini-s)
I dont suppose you know the URL to access the Vodafone live site as well do you?
Hello, I have the same issue. But l'm on O2 , using o2 mini S , device. I can receive and download MMS , but I can't send MMS to another person. Is the any thing I miss? l'm using corporate mode.
Not sure about the corporate mode but I do know that unless you have the settings in exactly the right places you will have problems.
This link from earlier in the post should help you solve your problem though.
The second link is for Vodafone but use it to give you an idea of where you should be setting up the various elements.
You could also try searching for "O2 MMS Settings"

Hi,
I just unlocked my XDA II and I'm using a Vodafone SIM in it. How do I utilize GPRS, WAP and Modem connectivity with this SIM? Is it possible to get rid of all the O2 crap installed on it, i.e. "clean" it up properly?
A new skin would be cool!
Cheers,

you are by no means the first who ask this question
And what's the answer? Is it possible at all?

Thomas
yes it possible the xda is not limited to o2 in anyway
you just have to set it up
to do this you need to know the connection point your provider use for mms, grps and wap (if you also want that)
there are many posts which explane how you set it up in the network forum
but if you cant find any i could explane it step by step i suppose
i dont know much about o2's settings but if it's today stuff you can turn it off under today in settings
otherwise you can always make your own rom at www.yorth.net and get a more pure non o2 custom rom
you can get tons of skins as in today skins on many sites
and at yorth.net you can also get phone skins or have explaned how to make them yourself
Works fine now, thanks. Vodafone's acces point is named 'internet' (which was easy to read off the SIM), and the user/passwd is web/web (had to call them up to get that). So GPRS works fine. Needs some more info to set a Modem connection, but it shouldn't be hard.
The reason for my original posting, was that I was lead to believe that O2 had "locked" the device, which is not the case at all.
Anyway, thanks for info. Btw, the link you mention does not work...
Cheers,

my bad

spelling issue
Ttm, I'm confused. :shock: I am in the same situation as you (xda II with vodafone sim), yet i cannot connect GPRS using your settings. The settings I connect with are APN: pp.vodafone.co.uk with the same user/password as you. This connects fine yet i cannot send or receive emails.
Am i doing something wrong? have i missed something in the setup? what do you reckon? :?:
cheers, coj
well one thing is to be able send mails and another is to get mail working
can you get IE working ?
Yes, IE is working fine and dandy
then i doubt it's a grps issue
if you put in all the mail settings like
pop3 and smpt if you used those protocols
and it still dont work with your type of mail protocol
then i would contact the phone company to see if they rout
your type of mails
I've just recently upgraded from the E200 to the SPV M1000. I'm fairly new to all the functions as I just used the E200 just as a phone.
Am I doing something wrong as I can't seem to recieve MMS any more, or set seperate ring tones to particular contacts.
Also I've noticed there is a ROM updade to 1.72, what benifits would this give me, and where can I get hold of it...
Thanks, in advance
seperate ringtones require a 3th party program
mms require that it's setup in mms composer and under connections
I am in the same position, I have just upgraded to an M1000 to find no MMS, the problem it seems is not setting up the MMS connection, it is that there is no version of MMS Composer installed on the phone. Does anybody know where I can get this software? I understand EzWAP might solve the problem but it has mixed reviews and some people say MMS doesn't work on the M1000 with it.
I think the software that is used by other networks is made by Arcsoft, but I can't find anywhere to download the software from,
Cheers in advance of any help
I'm surpised to hear Orange don't supply an MMS Composer? I use an XDAII on Orange and the MMS Compose O2 supplied works fine when configured for Orange. You can happily use the MMS Composer .cab file found here. Just copy to the m1000 and double click to install.
If you feel up to it you can unhide and unprotect the extended ROM, copy the cab file there and edit the config.txt file, then re-protect the extended ROM. That way if you hard reset, the MMS Composer .cab will automatically be re-installed. More details on doing this (it's relatively straightforward) can be found here.
Thanks for the link, it has installed fine on my phone. Do you know where to get the Orange settings for MMS? I was told I need to set up a new connection then configure the Composer, but I rang Orange and the best they could do was send a SIM update which did nothing at all!!
Cheers,
Fin
Yes, forgot that part! See here, the guide is for XDAII users but if you read through it you'll find the relevant sections for configuring MMS which apply to the Orange network regardless of whether you use an m1000, XDAII etc.
Dont know if yo will see this message seeing as it was last week but on the orange website there is now a rom upgrade which gives you a mms composer i have just downloaded it and it works fine....takes a while to upgrade though :lol: :lol:
Thanks, I meant to put something on this thread about the new ROM update, downloaded it the other day and it is great! Orange are bizarre though, I emailed them about a new ROM only a few days before and got a reply saying that MMS was not going to be supported at all on the M1000, so I was a bit shocked to see the update only two days after!
New Rom update
Thanks, I spoke with Orange yesterday about the MMS and they told me there is a new ROM update. I've downloaded it and applied. However when I restored all the data via xBackup the menu and application had gone. I tried this twice from the hard reset and the same applied, so I just rebuilt it manually.
Hi,
Could someone who is with Vodafone Australia post their settings for MMS.
I've set up GPRS and WAP and spoke with Vodafone support to get my MMS setup, but it does not seem to be working. It fails to send.
I'm using the latest O2 ROM where I have performed a soft reset before it customises, I have then run the two video phone CABs and the MMS shortcut cab.
I have the MMS folders available under Messages. I can create a MMS but fails to send.
I'm missing something and I would be interested to learn what.
Regards
Michael
There's a CAB file which simplifies things a lot (available from club imate). It will install all the settings for Vodafone MMS, and GRPS.
If you're still having troubles, I can post the CAB file - but I might not be able to do it till this weekend sometime. Unless someone else can post it first?
Here's the CAB file I was talking aobut.
These are the settings as provided by i-mate, and they work perfectly for me!
can you guys use vodafone live to ?
Yes and no.
I used settings from here:
http://aussie3g.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=15462
and changed the useragent as documented here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=29595
And I can browse vodafone live. As for downloading/streaming the video content - I'm still struggling!
I've searched all over but can't see a reference to this, so I suspect I'm missing something basic - sorry if that's the case!
I have an (ex) O2 XDA Mini S that has been unlocked and is running on Orange UK. This worked OK, but was slow and had all the O2 settings, customisation etc.
I followed the steps to hard reset and then stop any customisation and that worked fine. The unit now performs (and looks IMO) much better. I have set the Orange GPRS and MMS settings and (GPRS anyway) works fine.
Everything is synced up etc, but the one thing that is missing is an MMS "Account" - i.e. if I go into Messaging and choose "Switch Accounts", there is no MMS option (I get Hotmail, Outlook and Text Messages). I do have the MMS configuration option which I have gone through and set up.
I went to the ROM and ran the SmartDialing_enable_0915_signed and CAB-Shortcut-MMS1-JAVA5XX-VOICE-O2-31Oct05 cab files. This seems to have worked because I get the quick dialling and the Midlet manager has appeared, but still no MMS composer.
I don't want to run the full O2 customisation as I have no interest in running this with O2 and would have to change all the settings anyway.
Can anyone help with info or pointers as to what I may have missed to get the MMS option please?
TIA

Thanks - do you mean this thread?
If so then that seems to relate to settings, which is not my issue - I have the settings and have configured the MMS server, but can't see the MMS "account" in the messaging menu.
try to search MMS_Composer_Z.cab file on forum....i downloaded it from xda-developers but i cannot remember where...
My hermes has stopped sending/recieveing mms messages since i got back from the UAE.
Ive tried to input the settings from the website but strangly the server isnt being listed in the servers tab (tools, options, mms, servers) but the set as default key does change from grayed out once ive added the details.
Anyone got any idea whats happening here and how i might fix it?
Cheers
(BTW im running WM5)
I have a tmobile cab file which will enter ALL the tmobile settings for you.
I use it for after a HR on roms which arn't tmobile specific.
the only thing that it does a little wierd is it tries to set the MMS outgoing service to use the WAP connection rather than the GPRS connection.
this is an easy thing to put back right thought.
I can send it to you if you think it might resolve your problems.
regards
Tony.
PM me if you can't find it.
Thanks for the offer but i took the opportunity to upgrade to WM6 with the offical tmob rom.
Cheers any way
