I can't for the life of me manage to send MMS. I have tried just about every setting I can think of, but nothing. So has anybody managed to do this?
Edit: Solved. Removing the 00 47 I have in front of all numbers (so I can call from abroad) and using WAP 2.0 gateway, it works!

Hi, I'm a relatively experienced xda2 user. I have vodafone internet working fine but not MMS.
I have (I Think) the correct settings for WAP and MMS and when I send, it connects to the vodafone wap connection and the icon appears in the notification area for sending the mms but it never goes.Also, a reveived mms will not be downloaded to the xda2, just an sms appears to tell me to log on to the vodafone website to see it.
Also, I cannot browse wap wites in IE or special wap browsers.
Vodafone customer care tell me it's all set up their end for my old phone (RAZR V3) and that they have no settings for xda and therefore it may never work. They say every specific phone needs specific settings on their end for mms to work.
Has ANYONE got MMS working in Ireland for Vodafone on XDA2. If so, what are your exact settings and what phone does Vodafone think you are using? (maybe some settings on their end work for XDA).
THANKS!!!
Never mind
Got it working.
hello ,
i see your with vodafone,have been running with them about 6 months with no probs but crashed my xda11 last week and cant remember the gprs setting.can you please let me have a copy of your settings.
cheers

Hi - I've seen some posts that kind of address this topic but nothing yet that can solve the problem I'm experiencing (I think!).
I've set my O2 Exec up with what I'm confident are the Vodafone UK WAP APN and MMS server settings. However, when I send a message it tries for the standard 3 attempts and then gives up, saying the message couldn't be sent and that it would remain in my outbox. However, all 3 of the messages are actually successfully delivered! I am unable to download any 'received' MMS sent to me, although I do receive the notifications.
Has anybody else experienced this and, if so, I'd appreciate any advice in solving it.
The WAP APN I'm using is wap.vodafone.co.uk without the proxy setting enabled (as this is specified in the MMS settings). The MMS server is http://mms.vodafone.co.uk/servlets/mms, gateway is 212.183.137.12 with a port number of 8799. Size is limited to 100K, using WAP 2.0.
Thanks for any assistance.
Vodafone MMS
I've got exactly the same problem. I rang vodafone and told them I had a V1640 and ask them to send me the settings, but she couldn't do it for some reason. She told me to go down to the vodafone shop and ask them to program the settings in manually. I haven't done this because I reckon that I will know more than them about the phone.
My O2 ROM has the settings for 02's connections, therefore, the only thing I can think of doing now is to somehow obtain a copy of the V1640 ROM and install it and hope the settings will be inherant with the installation.
Had a quick look aroung the net without any success.

I'm going from memory a little, but before i upgraded to my Orange SPV M5000, I upgraded my O2 XDAII from PPC2003 (not SE) to a WM2005 ROM, working on a Vodafone PAYT SIM.
I used the attached file to configure all the necessary Vodafone settings (btw, this is UK PAYT)... just copy to your device and run the CAB. I don't recall any problems runnings this, irrespective of any manual settings i'd set.
I also recall having to phone Vodafone to ask them to ensure my GPRS was enabled as this affects MMS sending. Vodafone seemed to be happy to automatically switch it off for me every few months!
Hope this helps
After wiping my phone and doing a clean install (no 02 junk), there are no MMS or GPRS settings. Thats understandable, but even after I add them with the instructions from the 02 web page, it still cant connect to the GPRS network and dont have the option to send an MMS message.
=( any ideas? or do I have to do a clunky old slow standard/corporate install. Damn I hate all that 02 junk.
Hi. I believe you'll find some answers here
Oi..
The troubles I have been having!
I recieved my 838 Pro last week and have FINALLY gotten the internet/GPRS to work. I had been following the directions for the MDA on the tmobile website for how to get such things to work, but all I had to do was NOT use a proxy server.
But I cannot for the life of me get MMS to work. It wont send a message, it will recieve a notification that I have a message coming in, but will not download the attachments.
I'm in Boston MA (USA) if that helps at all.
ANY help would be very very nice as I've spent more than 9 hours with customer service on the phone with Tmobile and countless hours searching the internet.
Thank you.
Pretty please?
Is there really nobody in the states using tmobile with this hermes device?!?!?! None of you use MMS?!!>!>!??!
I just want to know your setup please.
here is the mms server info i have with my o2 xda trion under tmobile.
server name: T-Mobile MMS
Gateway: 216.155.165.50
Port number: 8080
Server address: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
Connect via: (your data connection)
hope that works for you.
What are your settings for the data part? I already have exactly what you do....
Oh wow...
THank you so much... I had .050 at the end of my string and you have .50..
Guess what now works.
You've just solved something that their top tier of help couldnt figure out.
Now one more question for you..
I send an animated gif or a big jpg to myself.. when I get it back it's always a jpg and always around 5 or 6 k.. What gives?
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

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....
