Hey there. Kinda new to WM, but the problem still remains. I bought a SPV M3100, unlocked it with the method described on this forum, and terrible surprize: I cannot make video calls. When I try one, it says it couldnt do it and asks me to choose from : normal call, text message etc. Things like I am not subscribed or I dont have coverage are NOT probable. I am on Vodafone network. Do u have any idea what cold be wrong? Maybe because of the unlocking?
Hi Leoking,
Unlocking shouldn't have done this. Just to be sure you could make and receive video calls before? Your account has video calls enabled? You are seeing a 'U' or '3G' on the top of the phone when you try this?
Gav.
Thank you man for trying, the problem is solved. It was a ROM/Radio problem.
Tell me smth though: do u know how to enable delivery reports for SMS messages?
Goto messages then: Menu > Tools > Options > Text Messages > tick Request delivery notification.
Gav.
Yes now it works. I didnt have that option, had to install a patch.
video calls???
I have an 8525. Can these things make video calls? How do I do it?

Yeah, how?

No they cant, the 8525 does not have the front camera, nor does cingular's network support video calling

Now why would a 3G network not support this? I thought the bandwidth would be fast enough. Does the cingular network somehow know that you're making a video call as opposed to downloading a large file?
its provider dependant.. a 3G network can support video calling, however i think its the way the video call is made, obviously its the same as a data call, but im sure it would reguire different server settings which cingular does not have, nor support... i would imagine it would require a server that would convert your telephone number into your ip address, kinda like a dns server does with a URL... (dont qoute me on that, im not sure how the whole cellular video calling network works, yet) however, i dont see any reason why you couldnt do it with a program such as Microsoft portrait (a beta program i picked up somewhere) which would be able to do it over the internet... makes its call via IP address, but you still run into the problem of the 8525 not having the front camera.
SMS Delivery Reports
Hi I just updated my rom so I could get a new voicemaill notification from vodafone with the new cingular rom and thank god I now get the sms new voicemail reports. But I have found 2 problems 1. I cant switch on delivery reports for sms set to other voicemails. 2 The band selection is gone from the phone setting but I found a registry entry to get this back.
Does anybody know how to sort out he sms delivery report issue

Hi mate, can you tell me what the problem was and what you did to resolve it. I cannot make video calls either, i've tried calling my handset and it goes to videomail. I definately have it set up etc as i used it on my previous handset.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Can anyone configure the below app to work with WM5? below is the version for the older handsets.
even better, this one works on my Jasjar.
I tried this one; it works.
Just tried it on my mda pro, doesn't seem to work?
Why on earth would you possibly want to put this cab file onto the phone?
If you go into the Options for Text messages on the phone you tick the box that says request delivery notifications and you will get your delivery reports. Have you not had a look through the options or the manual yet?
yes but the i-mate handsets have never had the option to permenantly keep the Delivery report options on as with other normal handsets, and the above cab files resolve this issue so for every txt msg you send you dont ahve to go to options and select the check box.
For some reason, with the O2 xda Exec, even using the built-in delivery notification option, I don't receive delivery notification even when the text is delivered to another O2 phone. Any ideas?
Did this ever work before on any other handset?
As from what i know o2 dont support delivery reports, for some reason if your on o2 then you need to type *#0 and then your msg, then you will recieve a deliver report, well thats what i have to do on my o2 line.
That's terrible! I'm new to O2, and before on T-Mobile and Orange I could just tick the box. Any other way round it that changing the phone number?
You dont need to change the phone number, in your main msg you need to add the above as text in the beggining. Or you can quicken things up by adding it as a 'My text' feature within the phone.
I understand now, thanks, however if I send a message and the text is, for example:
*#0Hello
The other person receives a text message with "*#0Hello" in it and I get no report back :?
CJS try *0#<space> then your message
Nope, no good already tried it
CJS I've just sent a message using "*0#" and it works no problem mate
Oh! ump001 said "*#0" and then when you said try it with a space I didn't notice you'd corrected it to "*0#". That works just fine, even without a space. Cheers!
Ouch though, all those tests with the wrong code really hit my credit

Does it work on O2, bypassing the need for *0#?
O2 simply don't have delivery reports as per standard on their network. The only way to do it is with the *0# option in the Subject title (thereby ensuring you have the "space"...

PS - ordering my Exec on Wed / Thursday...

CJSnet; sorry, I'm on T-mobile. Delivery reports working fine for me, but I know that KPN NL doesn't support them. I always get a message back that sending was succesfull, even when I know that the phone I'm sending the message is turned off...
Anyway, to go short: I don't have experience with O2
I've never really understood why o2 have to be different and be the only network not to have delivery reports. Could it be cost???? come on o2 stop being cheap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
as per title above, does anyone know the 3 network sms settings for xda orbit 2? im using bepes opera edition.

Seems like the sms message centre number has changed - it should be: +447782000800
I cant seem to find were to change the number though, hope someone else can help?
someone must know, help help!
someone must know, i tried calling three, but the indian call centre, suggested i go to a three store. thats miles away
have you checked your sms service center number.
Go to settings then phone. Then services. The voicemail and text messages. Click get settings and let us know what service number you have in
This is the number already in the settings +447782000800. So everything should work, but it doesnt.
So all you dont have any problems sending text using 3 network?
Why is mine like this
i found the problem. after 3 months of no ability to text, numerous calls to the indian call centre, and countless hours on the forums looking for the answer. heres what fixed mine:
under advanced network settings i changed the sms txt to GSM rather than GPRS.
so simple in the end, a big thanks to all who have previously tried to help me. I holpe this may help others out there who might have the same problem.
im off to send some txt to my friends now haha
Hi,
I'm using a Sim Free Touch Diamond 2 on T-Mobile UK. Got a strange problem going on at the moment.
When someone sends me an SMS (From any network T-Mobile, Orange, O2 etc). I usually get the MMS with the picture downloaded within a couple of minutes. I can view this on the phone as you would expect. BUT, two days later I will then receive a TXT from T-Mobile saying that someone has send me a MMS, please go to http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/pmcollect - When I go and login the same picture message is waiting for me...?
Anyone else had this problem? Strange thing is that this only appears to have started happening since I returned from a trip to europe.
I've tried T-Mobile customer service - all they can suggest is that this is probably a setting on the handset....
Can anyone help or throw any light on this?
Cheers,
A.
Hi
I am having the same problem.and also experiancing sms coming through late or not at all. however i actualy work for T-Mobile.. and know its not a problem with the D2..it is more likely network issues. but am not aware of any issues..i will speak to technical next time i can and will let you know what they say..i is starting to bug me as well but it is some thing that started for me back in June and i was using my D1 at the time..
Hi there,
I have a similar problem.
When I receive a MMS I only get a sms/text notification saying that I have received a MMS and that I have to go to the t-mobile website. I can't view the mms on my phone.
Is this because I need to install a program to view the MMS?
I am able to send MMS, I just sent a MMS to myself and I received it without a problem, but as a sms/text message, not the MMS itself.
Really annoying!
Hoping to get an answer.
Cheers!
It sound like a problem with your settings...
Go to the t-mobile website :
http://support.t-mobile.co.uk/help-and-support/index?page=home&cat=SOFTWAREDOWNLOADS
and send the settings to the phone once installed do a soft reset.
you should install both MMS and internet settings...
if this still doesnt work then you may have to try setting them up manualy ..
Heres a link to the manual on how to do it and the settings you need:
http://support.t-mobile.co.uk/help-and-support/index?page=selectphone&phone=HA176
if that still doesnt work you will need to call customer service there maybe a problem with the settings on your account. tell them you have done the above steps cos they will want to do them again with you and if you get someone in the phillipines this not a easy task.. they should transfer you to technical support and they will sort it..
any more problems just ask as i have worked for T-Mobile for nearly 4 years..
Thank you!!
It worked!! Thank you very much!
The first option didn't work as I have a dutch number. I did try to send the mms options to my phone via the dutch t-mobile site but they don't have the settings yet for this phone!
I then googled for "t-mobile mms instellingen" (settings) and I found them. Did it manually and now it works like a charm.
For the dutch people interested, here is the site with the settings:
https://www.t-mobile.nl/persoonlijk...lgestelde-vragen.aspx?q=algemene instellingen
Thanks for pointing me in that direction!!
Cheers!
You normally get that text about going to the website to get your MMS when the network thinks your phones not MMS compatible or you don't have MMS messaging live on your acc.
Hi sorry only just getting back..
managed to speak to technical and what they said is they need 5 examples.
date time number and postcode of area you where in.
so they can raise the problem and get your mms profile reset and should then be fine.

Hello
Yes I had the problem @ 1st could send sms and mms but not receive either back
I did the swap to GSM under sms settings this seems to have fixed mine
mines a sim free from Handtec using a 2 + years old sim o2 card
hi, where is the setting you talk about? I can't seem to find it.
thanks
Hello
Comm manager > phone settings > menu > advanced network > sms service
then set to GSM only
good luck .... I not receive any old messages tho ...so will only work for new I think
It took bout 30mins for 1st mms to come in ..now there instant ish
Just checked mine, it's set to "GSM preferred".
As far as I'm aware have only been sent one picture message so far but that came through fine. Don't believe I've missed any text messages either.
Would any other members who are on Vodafone UK please let me know if they can send MMS messages. I have tried both contract and pay as you go sims, I can receive MMS messages but cannot send them. I would be grateful for any information to resolve this problem.

I wonder if this is related to my issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=618218
According to this (I can't verify if it's out of date or not), Vodafone's MMS limit is 100k. If you want, you can try using Handcent Sms from the market, which severely reduces the file size (therefore the resolution and quality of the picture) before sending out an MMS. I'm curious to see if you're having the same issue as me. If you do, the stock messaging program has a pretty huge flaw in it which needs to be addressed.
Tell me how it goes.

Hmmm I was really hoping that would be the issue
I tried to do some research, and it seemed like some Hero users were having the same issue as you. See if this helps you at all: http://androidforums.com/htc-hero/7776-mms-vodafone.html
The key would be this quote:
"All Vodafone Numbers MMS is deactivated At network level by default , you need to Ring customer services up on 191 Free of charge and ask them to Activate it"
I'm surprised they do it that way - it always used to be that the first MMS you sent activated your account automatically.

I think I had been down this way before but rang Customer Services again just to make sure. The guy at Vodafone first asked for my number which he checked and said that it was already activated for mms and internet, he then asked for make and model of phone, this is the good bit, he has never heard of this phone and it is not on their database so no support. I told him that they would be supporting this phone in the very near future, he said that if that is true I should just wait until that happens and ring back then.
What is it that makes it so difficult to send a flippin picture message

tell him you have a Vodafone Magic ... its a supported Android phone on Vodafone and the menus are identical so if he wants to talk you through setting anything up then no problem.
If he has to set anything network side to work on Voda then no problem either
