MMS Problem Solved - Culprit.....I mode on SIM! - JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General

Hi there,
Bit of info for anyone who is having probs with MMS sending and receiving on non-i-mode handset.
I bought an i-mode handset and inserted my SIM, played with 4 few days, didn't like phone so sent it back.
Then put SIM in non i-mode handset and MMS never worked again.
This is because the SIM had changed settings to i-mode and there is no way of putting them back to standard settings unless u have an i-mode handset available (which i didn't) to change them back.
02 kindly did the job for me and hey presto...MMS works now.
Weird but true and I never thought that i-mode handsets would be such a problem!!!! Lol.

NO SERVICE? - For no reason

Hello..
I last night put my phone onto "flight mode" so that i was not distrubed in the night if a text came through....
this morning i set it back to normal but the network reception reported NO SERVICE
when it had not come back this evening.... i put my sim in a different phone and used a different network's sim card in my pda.... NO SERVICE was reported for this as well but the sim that was placed in the other phone registered on o2 as soon as the phone was switched on
I've only just bought my MDA but off ebay... although it was new i am unable to contact the seller... please can anybody help??
email me to [email protected] or [email protected] if anybody can help
Thanks
MORE info re above
Hi again
In my frustration I have swapped sims again and this time put VODAFONE pay as you go sim in the MDA Magician above.... It found the network and i was able to ring/text from it.....
On putting the O2 Sim Back into the MDA it said NO SERVICE again.....
But using that very same sim in my nokia finds a network.....
The MDA is originally a TMOBILE one that has been unlocked...
ANY help on this would be very appreciated as I'm very annoyed that it's stopped working.
Thank you
Soft reset?
Although, I think taking your batter out and swapping sims may count as a soft reset.
Thanks for the reply - but again that did not solve it... besides to eliminate this i did a HARD RESET as well and re configured it....
I've even RE UNLOCKED it in case this was the problem
(its a T MOBILE PDA) with an O2 SIM IN...... I bought it in November time and unlocked it the same time... My O2 Sim has been working ok in it until the other night when i decided to put it in "flight mode"(so i wasn't disturbed at night)
Im suspecting that it anything to do with IMEI number vs SIM CARD number? Could this have been blocked somehow to that phone?
Its very confusing as it WORKS with VODA sim and DOESNT with O2 yet the SAME O2 sim works in my old nokia 6610.... aaarggghhhh!! LOL
If your MDA works with a Vodafone SIM, it certainly can't be blacklisted for all UK networks since it picks up Vodafone. Secondly, it sounds more like a SIM card issue relating strictly to the MDA. What happens when you try another O2 SIM card in the same MDA?
Make sure the O2 SIM hasn't been damaged in some way, if all fails you might want to take the MDA to T-Mobile to see if they can determine whether its IMEI has been blacklisted for certain networks. Otherwise a ROM upgrade may also help fix the problem.
Good Luck
My guess is that your magician is reported & listed as stolen. Probably not all providers are using the same list with blocked IMEI numbers. Which can explain that one sim works & the other doesn't though works in an other phone.
See if you can find a list for your country on the web. There are some references to such lists in this forum.

check which band your phone is using....
go Phone>Options>band> then select auto

C500 Unable to Send SMS

I recently upgraded my Tytn to a Tytn II and received a new sim with it.
I use my C500 for work (as it gets bashed about) and it worked 100% with the old sim I had.
I tried it with the new sim expecting it to work, everything works except I am unable to send text messages. If I go into phone settings, the SMS center number is blank and if I input the number, it doesn't save. The sim works 100% with the Tytn II.
If I put my old sim in the C500 it doesn't connect to the network as it's been disabled, but the SMS center number IS in the correct box.
Does anyone know of a way to rectify this problem? I've been onto orange tech. support and they were most unhelpful and suggested I use my Tytn II for work, they did try sending sim updates, but that didn't work.
Cheers
Me too...its the bug of WM6
i thought that my network does this sh**....but now!!!!
OK just restart UR phone
It's not WM6, i did have WM2003 but I upgrade to WM5 and Wm6 to see if they would sort it.... it didn't.
I've got onto orange again and they're looking into it apparently.
Did you ever get anywhere with this? I too want to use my old C500 for work but I can't send SMS.
Cheers,
Warey
Yeah, after weeks and weeks of orange trying to sort it there end, they sent me out a new sim card and that sorted it. I did register the new sim in the C500 just incase it was that.

Optus MMS issue

I have been enjoying my HD2 for yonks now but I am plagued by a problem whereby I cannot send or received MMS messages.
I also had a problem with replying to SMS messages but this was fixed when I installed Vito SMS Chat... sent and replied to a couple of SMS's using SMS Chat then unistalled it and all is good!
Now back to my current problem.....cannot send MMS messages on Optus 3G. I spoke to Optus and was informed MMS messaging is not supported on the HD2 for at least 6 months due to some deal Telstra has with HTC?? What the!?!?!?
I have searched and searched but found nothing that helps on any forum so I am hopeful some here can assist me!?!?!
I have checked and rechecked settings and they all seem correct.
Cheers.....
PS: I have cooked my ROM to one of the scotsman's OZ Roms and love it!!
I am with TPG which use OPTUS 3G lines and i am able to send MMS without any issues at all.
All optus need to do is to activate MMS on your sim card once its activated it should work.
My sim card was already activated before i changed to the HD2 but i dont/havent had a problem yet.
PS. I would change to TPG its a hell of alot cheaper but still uses OPTUS's network (if your on a contract then i feel for you).
I am with PennyTel and they use Optus too.... their customer service is very poor but the call rates are amazing cheap!! Like 0.08c per call to the States untimed! Hard to beat that.... but the downside is poor customer service!
I will try to contact their customer service today to check that my MMS service is active!
some of the mms settings with the connections wizard are incorrect.
I have to change mine everytime I flash a new rom.
I don't have them here but if you search you can find the correct settings and fix them manually.
You could check if mms is enabled by putting the card in another phone.
Hey lakeman,
I have searched for settings and everything I find is the same as in my phone. Appreciate you providing your settings when you get the chance so I can compare....
Mmmmm....didn't think to try sim in another phone... will do this tonite as a test!
Not that it helps you much but I've been using my HD2 on Optus since I got it late last year.
I have never had problems with sending or receiving SMS or MMS...
I'm also using the default settings that are in the startup wizard after flashing

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
ok
4 things I have found(though I use Virgin settings)
1.you sometimes have to send yourself an mms to activate it
2.for the server in connections, the connection wizard put a space between virgin and MMS
3. the port should be 9201 rather than 8070
4. the wap version should be WAP1.2.
again these are the things that I had to change to work for me
I have used some roms occasionally that worked straight up
At least this could be a starting point for you to troubleshoot
cheers
hi [email protected]
Im with Optus too.. I had issues the first few times I've received MMS.... everytime I went to download the MMS, it'd give me an error and tell me that the file doesnt exist (or something along those lines).
I tried redo-ing all the settings extra with the wizard and couldnt get it to work..
One day, I unexpectedly received an MMS and I was able to reply back with a MMS... it hasn't died on me so far -
And I didnt do anything other than flashings a different different ROM or two and different radios, so i'm guessing that's what might've fixed it.
Anyway, if you're after the actual Optus settings to compare (it seems to be different for the resellers like Virgin, etc even though they run on the same network):
Server Name: Optus MMS
IP Adress: 61.88.190.10
Port Number: 8070
Server Aaddress: http://mmsc.optus.com.au:8002/
Connect via: Optus MMS Settings
Messages Size Limit: 300kb
WAP Version:2.
All the settings above were automaticallyconfigured using the Connection WIzard.
Hope this helps! :
Thanks lakeman and bobbified,
Tried your suggestions to no avail!
I have a call in with my provider to investigate and they advised my problem is being escalated.....I hope!
I guess I'll have to wait til next week now as it is Saturday!
Cheers....

[Q] MMS Help Please

Hello,
Got a SIM free E900 from Pixmania. Haven't been able to send MMS using my o2 card although I did get it to work with my Vodafone card. I have tried all the usual like the LG network setup app, ADC -> Enabled, manually setting the profile and resetting the phone. I even flashed with the latest firmware (UK version).
I tried the SIM in a SE K550i and it could send MMS so I'm out of ideas.
I spoke to LG but their rep was useless and kept trying to convince me that the settings aren't stored on the phone despite me showing him where they are in the MFG menu. o2 have been more helpful but I think they're stumped too...
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Keith

Confirmed that OMNIA7 works on Softbank

I had been looking for a while to see what WP7 devices worked on Softbank in Japan. I can confirm that the Samsung OMNIA 7 works fine and even gets 3G+ as long as you input the correct ADC settings (i.e. smile.world). I have been using the phone since February 2011 and at the end of May everything is still working great. I have had both NoDo and the Security update pushed here with no problem. The only issue I have is an inability to put in my MMS settings. SMS works fine but I can't figure out what registry settings need to be changed to get his fixed. I ordered an unlocked handset off of Amazon and even though the box was opened (tamper seal broken) everything was in place.
FYI I am using the black iPhone SIM and haven't had any issues with billing.
do you know where i can buy a prepaid sim card for softbank (without contract, without phone)?
i'll be going there next week, and i think i would need internet on my phone for maps and such.
