I lost the settings for my #777 connection and can not for the life of me remember what the username, password, and domain settings are supposed to be. I know that they are posted somewhere, but I've been searching for hours with no luck.

OK, feel free to kick me now.
I forgot about that WIKI thing.

hi guys, i have a problem. when i receive mms messages, the pictures are sooooo tiny. i have it set to download manually and when i look at the msg details it'll say that the msg is 100+ kbs in size but after it finishes downloading, the picture is only about 5kb in size. same thing goes for short audio files(if a person sends me a 10-15sec recording, i only receive a 5sec clip of it). have any of you the same problem? i've looked through all my settings and can't find anything that would help if i changed them so i come to all you kind ppl. please help. thanks in advance
I think this topic came up around 2 weeks ago on XperiaX1.net, and I think they concluded it was a network (carrier/provider) setting. Might be worth a look.
thats what i first thought but with my n95 and all my previous ericssons, it's never been an issue. i've always received everything in full. but perhaps i have some incorrect mms server settings on this phone. i'll look into it. thanks for the quick reply
The phone speaks to your network when downloading the message and your network is going "I have no idea what this phone is" so it sends down the small version. If you search there was a regedit which tricked the network in to thinking you were a different model.
LOL, the answer to your question is literally 11 threads down!
"MMS pictures Shrinking in size when downloaded"

There was one guy who had this problem over at esato and he fixed it. This is hidden in a rather long genieric thread so i'll just copy his post here...
"Basically, it has something to do with the phone not being set up, or directing to the correct 'profile' with the network operator. For example, my settings were directing to the Taiwan HTC website for some reason. Because O2 didn't have these settings, it was defaulting the MMS settings to how they were when MMS was first introduced.
The solution is basically using a program like PHM Registry Editor to change the profile, so it directs to the correct details. However, as there aren't any specific Xperia ones yet, you can have it use those of another phone. In my case, I have used the N95 settings, as these are ones set up on O2.
So, in the reg editor you need to go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - Software - Arcsoft MMS UA - Config - mm1 - WspHeader
There will be 6 strings in this part of the registry. You just need to edit the 'User-Agent' profile to:
NokiaN95/11.0.026; Series60/3.1 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1
And the 'Profile' string to:
http://nds1.nds.nokia.com/uaprof/NN95-1r100.xml
You don't need to reboot. And that should get the pics coming through at the correct size.
Hope this helps if anyone is having the same problem."

ooops i found the answer last night lol suppose i should've reported back. the regedit trick fixed the problem. thanks you guys
Hey guys,
I have been having a very annoying issue as of late I'd like to resolve. I have been trying to flash a new ROM onto my device since thanks to Haykuro we finally can have TMO G1 ROMs on the device however I am having an issue. I follow the instructions step by step, and yet when all is said and done I get into the OS and I have no data network. I can send SMS, make calls, however I cannot check my email or surf the net.
This is very annoying, and I have tried both Cyanogen ROMs, and the JacXROM, and neither one works. I am guessing this is a radio firmware not working, however it is the latest one for Rogers I have found so I don't see how that is the issue (and it is works for others)
Does anyone have any ideas?

Did you check apn settings?
Because if your not in the us you will have to config the settings to your provider.
Does anyone happen to know the APN settings if that is what I have to do? I have no idea what to put in there.

I am not going to look exactly where it is stated...but do a search you should find the settings. These settings were posted somewhere in this thread, I believe somewhere in the middle, it was posted like 5 times.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544654
edit: Sure esmith, make me look like an idiot, lol, guess you posted like 2 sec. before me. Although you were more direct, I was hoping not to spoon feed the answer, cause they will ask other questions again without searching.
For some reason whenever I search I always get crap results.. But just so you know I posted that and then said "Duh, I'm an idiot I should look for it" and I saw the big APN thread and found a post a couple pages back. Didn't work though, so I will try esmiths settings.
Hi everyone
I have searched through numerous forum post and development websites to find these answers (has taken a couple of weeks, with no help from $&% Telstra), so I thought I would put them all in one post. I don't take credit for any of the work arounds, I just figure there is a lot of individual posts without the answers in one spot.
Tip 1:
Don't use the default GMAIL settings as this doesn't allow you to actually specify to connect to 'The Internet' and is default set to Telstra Internet (was for me anyway). There is a good step by step guide on the GMAIL website - create a new acounnt but the key is to not enter gmail.com as your email address as it automatically detects the settings and masks/blocks the advanced screen. By following this, I could then have GMAIL on my WiFi with no data plan enabled (long story)
Tip 2:
Do this to configure a new Telstra Data connection as the default one can't be modified:
(link to be approved so msg me and I will send in mean time)
However make sure the 'This network uses a proxy...' part isn't checked, opposite to the guide on the above link.
Doing this actually meant my GMAIL could now connect using the DATA plan but by default used the WiFi when it was connected.
Tip 3
The ActiveSync and Exchange part is by default configured to Telstra's dedicated email plan. On my phone there was actually a PDF on the storage card about this and also a step by step guide on how to configure your ActiveSync/Exchange to connect through the normal internet, not through Telstra's plan. However, as I have seen many similar examples on the internet, following this procedure was great except the settings would not save. Changing from 'Dedicated' to 'Internet' never actually accepted.
I was determined to figure this out, so installed a registry editor. With some snooping I found enough information to be dangerous and did some searching, and found this link:
(link to be approved so msg me and I will send in mean time)
If you go to the bottom about Network Registry Settings, the key one is:
HKLM\System\ActiveSync\SyncAPN
By changing this to 0, my 'Internet' setting would save for the ActiveSync/Exchange and sure enough, connection to my exchange server was succesful.
CeRegEditor is the program I found really simple to use.
Tip 4
Install these two free applications for Data Connection management
Good for Enabling/Disabling Data Connections - DataController.CAB
I don't fully understand the full power of this one, but it is good to see what is happening and has an auto disconnect: BandSwitch.V2.8.CAB that is mentioned in the registry tips/tweaks section, tip 50 or somewhere there abouts.
Tip 5
Cookies Home Tab - sensational!!
Tip 6
Unlock the quicklinks (plenty of posts on how to do this) and also remove the non-used Telstra Home-Tabs (well I don't use them as they always have a wap redirect to m.bigpond.com)
Tip 7
If you are facebook user, check out the 'touch' version. Go to m.facebook.com and down the bottom there is a link to facebook touch
So that is about it for now, following all the above, after a hard reset worked a treat without having to install a non-telstra ROM.
Hope this helps, like I said, I don't really know all the details of the work arounds, more just posting them all in one spot for future frustrated people with the Telstra version. I am loving the phone now (also have followed other registry tips from this site).
Happy using and massive thanks to all of you who actually did figure out the solutions!

Thanks for this.
The Dedicated/Internet drop down box does work without the reg hack but it resets itself back to dedicated.
I found also that I had to make a new connection to telstra.iph for activesync to stay connected when the screen was off.
Woudl greatly appreciate if you could send me the missing details above. I have not managed to get WMDC to recognise the phone yet so can't, and not keen to yet anyway, replace the Telstra ROM.
i get "Access Denied" when i try the registry hack, anyone else come across this?
I did get that, within the Registry Editing software there is an option to unlock the registry, once you do that you can then change the settings!

Problem with Telstra Connection

Hello, I have the Telstra T9193 here in Argentina and I want to use with other internet carrier, I configured the connection and Internet is working fine but I can't check the emails....
So I think that the problem is the default Telstra connection, maybe only the ROM permit use this connection to check emails.
Could you know something about it?
Thanks
Hi Diegogleo
Which email are you trying to check? Webmail like GMAIL or Hotmail or a separate pop3 account?
If it is hotmail, the default windows live setup seems to work fine.
You have to change the settings of your email account to use 'Internet' not 'Telstra Internet' (or whatever pre-programmed data connection might exist). That way, when you are in WiFi or using your Mobile Providers Data, you can pick email up.
If it is exchange mail, you will have to do the registry edit above.

Hi Jason...thx for the GMail solution. Still haven't gotten it to work and it is most frustrating. I have another question...what is the correct procedure for installing these .cab files? Again...something else i've tried and doesn't work. Any help would be appreciated!
Cheers

My first fun experience was loosing data/3G connection after flashing my device. A lot of reading got me unperfect but working settings on Rogers. Contribute yours here, it would help others.

Canada Fido APN
I also had to manually change the APN name once I flashed my phone.
APN names for Philippines - Globe Telecom are:
Prepaid: http.globe.com.ph
Postpaid: internet.globe.com.ph <-- this is what most ROMs have by default regardless of stock or not.

I offer private course on many subject including the use of the internet. The link you provided is out of date and has been incomplete since creation. Plus it is a 3rd party commercial site.
FlowerPotman i've read some of your post and i'm at a lost as to why you don't see the necessity of complete APN under a unique tread of the network forum.
Good day.
