Hi Folks,
Just upgraded from an O2 XdA IIs to an iMate JasJar.. Niiiice piece of kit I did the upgrade so I could connect to 3, as they were the only provider that I could find that would let me do a data bundle on my mobile plan (I'm out of the office a lot of the time, so like to get my email via gprs). Anyhoo, everything's working great, except I can't seem to get the right settings for MMS.
So I'm hoping someone here has a universal on 3 here in .au and has MMS working, and can tell me what config they're using..
Thanks,
Damien
G'day Rendrag,
I have seen alot of people having problems with getting 3 MMS to work on their non sold 3 phones, have you checked out the settings here that some people have posted? http://www.aussie3g.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=14311&highlight=3services
I will soon to be investigating this once my m5000 arrives. Apparently everything else works fine on the 3 network.
Cheers

Hi Ahrjay,
Those are the settings I'm using, but sending MMS's just doesn't work.. I've seen plenty of people on aussie3g.com saying they can't get MMS working but there's been no posts about it since february, so I thought I'd post over here incase someone knew
Regards,
Damien
I thought i made a post in here last nite about my problems too, but i dunno what happened, sufficed to say, i like to consider that i have fairly good know how, when it comes to this sort of stuff, and i can't work out, how to send an mms for the life of me...
and i've tried, everything i can think of... i just can get it to work, i hope someone out there can help us out..
FWIW I have been trying for months as well.
I even tried ringing the help number, but the're useless. They ask what phone you have and when its not one of the "three" phones they have no idea what to do.
Perhaps bumping this up to the front page might help.

Anyone have any success yet????
Not me.. I even went to the trouble of making a bit of a scene at the hutchinson stand at CeBIT the other month over their MMS not working and them not giving a stuff, but the tech guys all ran for cover, and left the sales guys going 'ummm'.

Grr... what the hell is going on?
Surely the phone, is capable of doing it all and then some...
So I have to ask, where is the problem lying? Is it in some sort of I.D. being rejected? Connection settings? Or some sort of software malfunction?
To my understanding, Vodaphone have recently started selling these phones, so i would guess, that they're service is compatiable in every way with the jasjar????

Hmm, might be worth a trip down to the local vodaphone store and have a look at what settings they use, and see if they're anything like what we're trying to use on three?

Hmm... well the settings would be different, as they will all be different server...
I think, it's an I.D. thing personally. I think the JasJar is sending some infomation and 3 is just rejecting the whole mms. But i could be way off, i don't know.
What i'm really curious about, is how vodaphone would support their content service, as i can't think of any way to play RTSP streams on a WM5 device. Which is pretty much how all the content on 3 is streamed, making it in-accessible for all of us with Universal's, and all future WM5 devices....
I think this is a universal 3 network issue for the Universal :shock:
I think it would be good if we discuss this all in one universal "3" thread .....I think this thread is a good one to discuss it in because there are people from other countries on the 3 network also trying to sort out similar issues and there know how is also very helpful.

I've been trying since MAR and no avail. I can "send" MMS to myself and it'll come (so I get the subject header) but when I try to download the actual content it gives some stupid error (the same happens when ppl MMS me - get the header but no content)
Three network
Hi all,
Everyone around the world seem to be having the same issues with the Three network.
I think it might be a good idea if with consolidate all the Three network discussion to one thread. Then maybe if we combine efforts we will find the solutions.
This is the thread I think would be good to move all the discussion to as it already has some good stuff in there
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=51646
I hope you think its a good idea too....and we see you in there.

Hi all,
I've spent the last 3 weeks searching through everything so as not to waste anyones time with a simple question but to no avail.
I've been given an XDA II from a family member as they have upgraded to the Exec and I have been using it as a PDA only. Well I see that Orange have some good deals on the go and so decide to use it as a phone/Internet enabled PDA.
I've unlocked it (many times now) got 2003SE on it and have put the correct MMS and GPRS settings in (The ones from Shadamehr). I've checked with Orange and GPRS is enabled on my account with them (PAYG at the mo) but for some reason the same thing that was happening when I first got it pops up
"Cannot connect
There is no modem at the above number..."
So best my small mind can figure is that somehow the 'phone part' of the PDA isn't working. I've tried other sims in it and they don't work either (o2 and Three - but I think Three is funny anyways). Is there something wrong with the actual phone bit?
It's a legit XDA with the M1000 ROM upgrade from the orange site which has made it 2003SE
Does anyone have any knowledge about how I can get my PDA to be a phone? It was once before (but with O2)
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

No modem at above number
Thanks for the link, but believe me I've tried this. I retried it to be sure just now.
"No modem at above number" is what I get after the XDA II tries to connect.
I have no phone reception whatsoever, no internet and no SMS.
My XDA II just works as a PDA with no communication possiblities apart from USB cradle.
Again, thanks in advance for any and all help with this.
-o0zy
If there's no phone reception, and no GPRS, how do you expect to connect to one?
Not to be mean or anything, but aren't your hopes of connecting a little farfetched if all the systems you're trying to use are down?

Your not being mean, believe me after a month of searching through here and SPV developers anything that wuld resolve this issue would be appreciated.
Why would the phone element of my XDA just stop working? I can only imagine some sort of Hardware fault but I'm a thorough bunny and would like to make sure of this. A diagnostic app or some way of reading the phone element like a device driver would be handy.
So in brief, why has my phone part of my XDA II stopped working and how do I switch it back on again (if this is at all possible)?
Thank you for your replies thusfar Cynagen, I shall start to ask these questions in the Himalaya forum also now since it seems model specific and not network related.
Any and all further assistance is much appreciated.

Does anyone know if the UK networks are blocking ports to prevent VOIP usage? I've followed all the advice to get VOIP up and running on my TyTn's and P3600's but no luck at all. All my handsets still say 'Service Blocked'.
I have two TyTn's, both with PAYG sims (one from T-Mobile and one from O2 and three P3600's. All of them report Service Blocked.
Any ideas?
tmob definitely block them, i would be surprised if O2 didn't. if you did a search you'd find that a lot of people have found this too.
OK,
O2 say they don't but in my experience they do
T-Mobile tell you that they a) will do everything they can to stop you and b) tell you that they close your account/charge you a lot if you try. However, this can be remedied by using the `Web'n'Walk Max` subscription instead of the normal or plus version. This is what I use and have had no problems.
Vodafone basically told me, very politely, where to go if I didn't want to spend around £120/month, this was a few months ago and I don't know how the situation may have changed.
Virgin don't seem to be interested in this subject at all, I've failed to find anyone who wasn't reading off Autocue to talk to and so haven't discovered what I wanted to know.
Orange have a reputation for filtering, they also wanted to charge me per KB so I never really found out if it was possible.
I'm sorry but I have no experience of other carriers. Currently I use T-Mobile Flex 35 and Web'n'Walk Max; the only issues I've come across has been with dialing up through bluetooth and 3G, this is probably a lack of correct settings.
Regards, R.
Anyone using this successfully ? I'm looking to buy this phone, want to make sure someone is happy with the phone on the T-mobile network first.
a lot of members are using tmobile w/ unlocked 8525...works great for me in CA, NV, TX, etc....
works great for me, running WM6. only issue is i can't use mms for some reason. doesn't send or receive. also IE crashes when trying to log into sites like gmail.com
update: I finally got MMS to finally work.
I'm using mine on T-Mobile in Colorado, works great! Just go to the t-mobile site and find the wireless configurator, choose the HTC Wing as your phone and use those settings.
i'm using it t-mobile Oklahoma
Great phone
I have an 8525 sim and CID unlocked and use it everywhere in the world! In the USA, I'm on T-Mobile, but currently I've been on China Mobile for 4 months and the phone works great! Many people here have HTC phones, I used to think of WM6 as for techies, but lots of people have it!

I've never had a crash on any website using PIE, and I'm on the internet often. Could be your rom's security, cache, memory, etc. settings.

Im using a 8525 with t-mobile in Florida. So far, I had been working some days, some others no, regarding the internet access. At this moment, is not working... and im here, in xda... looking for ways to do it... i ran almost every cab to configure, remove settings and run again new versions and nothing... i keep searching for the solution...
this forum is very helpful. i think i will have it working.
t-mobile support is very unresponsive, i got tired of call them and have the same stupid answer that the problem must be my phone because is not a t-mobile phone... instead to send me to somebody that really knows the values to put in it

Known internet issue in Florida right now - Don't waste your time configuring, you are being blocked on the Network via T-Mobiles firewall as you are using a 3G enabled phone (even with 3g "disabled) -- once t-mo finishes testing (should be soon), your phone will work again. Read the thread below, 13 pages on the Florida issue.

I am in US and I just bought a Vodafone branded X1 from Ebay. The description read that the phone is unlocked so I did not really care that it was supplied by Vodafone. I realize now that I may have rushed into buying it since it may be crippled by Vodafone. Should I worry about it? I did some searching on the forums and found out that it does not let some ppl browse the internet in full view w/IE or Opera and some can't stream radio stations from 3G and others can't update email from WiFi while some can. I am not sure how much of it is fact or fiction. Can anyone definitively say which features are disabled or crippled because of the Vodafone brand?
Thanks.

Just a few words.
SPL
Flash original ROM
done....
I got mine T-Mobile unlocked. With crap T-Mobile software on it.
Flashed SPL on it and than the original ROM.
And now I have a de-branded Xperia X1i.
I know it is possible to flash it, but I would prefer not to do it, since I know it will take a lot of my time plus I understand that I will loose the radio panel in the process? as well as warranty and may even get a brick...

Who told you that?
You could flash the original rom (It has the radio panel)
And than put the original spl back.
I did that with the KAiser.
They accepted it cause the original spl was on it.
I have a Vodafone-branded one myself. It wasn't locked thankfully but the Voda altered bits are enough to make me try de-branding it at the weekend.
With the Voda bits on there one thing you'll really need to do is edit the registry keys to give you access to the 'My ISP' settings, rather than delete them if you edit and put in your own network's details then the Live/Messenger stuff should still work (it did for me). Apart from that I haven't had any particular issues using my O2 SIM in it.
Hi
I had a voda branded X1 for a week. everything worked, nothing was blocked, but this was in the UK. The voda actually had some advantages - it never did the X1's pregnant pause trick and optical js scrolling in opera worked correctly. i sent it back due to network issues and then bought the phone outright.
Nigel
to the original poster, you brought a vodafone branded one from ebay and are worried about the warranty?
I doubt VF will want anything to do with you unfortunately if you bought it from a third party.

It sounds like internet access won't work with other networks unless you edit the reg! This is just great, anybody wants to buy an x1?

I can't find the post with the details in at the mo, I'll have another look tomorrow!
You don't actually need to edit the registery, just create a new group and set it to default in the Connections app.
I did that but I found that Windows Live wouldn't work because it seems to be hard-coded to use the My ISP settings.
Agreed. You can unlock the Vodafone connections in HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Destinations\<Account> and then modify the ReadOnly key to 0.
I did that, and I could then edit and modify the Vodafone connections, but I still can't connect to Live (and my IMAP email seems to have trouble connecting as well, it doesn't even try). I've removed all entries and started from scratch, but that didn't help.
So if anyone can come up with what exactly to do AFTER you have unlocked the connection entries, I'd appreciate you posting it here.

IMAP works fine with me, but LIVE isn't likely to I don't think. From what I understand you can't access LIVE services from a 6.1 phone, this is the excuse VF were giving for only selling the touchpro through business channels.
Okay, so we're in agreement that the ONLY real limitation is lack of Live support? If so, I need to turn my eyes towards my mail configuration again. Trouble is, as long as it's branded and something goes wrong with the connectivity, I'll always think "Hm, maybe it's Vodafone again"....
After I unlocked the settings I edited the existing connection details for the Contract connection and I deleted the settings for PAYT.
This took a few hard resets to get working and I found that if you delete My ISP the Live stuff will never work.
Roll on the weekend when I can debrand!
Could you give me a few hints as to what you deleted in the end, and what you kept? And maybe also how I go about debranding (link to a topic, I keep getting lost in all the different ones on the subject) - I keep thinking I have a problem because of Vodafone, and that's annoying - even though it might be unrelated or just require correct configuration.
Like I said I deleted the PAYT details and edited the Contract WAP ones.
As for debranding I'm not the one to ask about that because it's new to me too!
also make sue that any internal connections options in the programs are set to use "the internet" rather than my isp or whatever.
"the internet" chooses the best connection available, so wifi if it's on, otherwise will try and connect through cellular.
I recently purchased a OnePlus 5. I then got a monthly SIM deal from iD. For some reason texts and calls are working fine but I can't get any data internet!
Various websites say that there should be no band issues, and I've seen someone on 3 Mobile saying theirs works fine (iD uses 3 Mobiles network).
I've contacted iD but they're pretty hopeless and just told me to do the troubleshooting I'd been doing (checking the APN and stuff). I even took it into Carphone Warehouse but they couldn't work it out either.
Annoyingly I've seen a post on OnePlus forums from someone having the exact same problem, but it's just been closed as 'Solved' with no word on how.
I'm still not 100% on the exact APN I should have and other settings so hopefully it's just one of those and one of you lovely people can help me out! Alternatively, I'll have to change from iD to another carrier.
Sorry for this long rambly post.
