I have an O2 pay monthly contract in the UK. I have an unlocked Hermes TyTn that was originally a Vodafone 1605. I have since upgraded the ROM to be the latest HTC WWE English version.
The problem I have both before and after the ROM upgrade is that I can received MMS messages but the image always arrives as 160x120 (pretty much thumbnail size) size image regardless of the original sending size.
I have checked settings many times but have read that the problem could be that Iam using O2 servers but they do not have my device in their database of supported handsets so when sending on the MMS message they resize the image to the smallest size to ensure that it can be viewed.
Could this be true and if so how would I get around this? I have been searching for an O2 XDA Trion (English) ROM which I assume would help but cannot find one.
Any suggestions much appreciated. Thanks.

I've just recently upgraded from the E200 to the SPV M1000. I'm fairly new to all the functions as I just used the E200 just as a phone.
Am I doing something wrong as I can't seem to recieve MMS any more, or set seperate ring tones to particular contacts.
Also I've noticed there is a ROM updade to 1.72, what benifits would this give me, and where can I get hold of it...
Thanks, in advance
seperate ringtones require a 3th party program
mms require that it's setup in mms composer and under connections
I am in the same position, I have just upgraded to an M1000 to find no MMS, the problem it seems is not setting up the MMS connection, it is that there is no version of MMS Composer installed on the phone. Does anybody know where I can get this software? I understand EzWAP might solve the problem but it has mixed reviews and some people say MMS doesn't work on the M1000 with it.
I think the software that is used by other networks is made by Arcsoft, but I can't find anywhere to download the software from,
Cheers in advance of any help
I'm surpised to hear Orange don't supply an MMS Composer? I use an XDAII on Orange and the MMS Compose O2 supplied works fine when configured for Orange. You can happily use the MMS Composer .cab file found here. Just copy to the m1000 and double click to install.
If you feel up to it you can unhide and unprotect the extended ROM, copy the cab file there and edit the config.txt file, then re-protect the extended ROM. That way if you hard reset, the MMS Composer .cab will automatically be re-installed. More details on doing this (it's relatively straightforward) can be found here.
Thanks for the link, it has installed fine on my phone. Do you know where to get the Orange settings for MMS? I was told I need to set up a new connection then configure the Composer, but I rang Orange and the best they could do was send a SIM update which did nothing at all!!
Cheers,
Fin
Yes, forgot that part! See here, the guide is for XDAII users but if you read through it you'll find the relevant sections for configuring MMS which apply to the Orange network regardless of whether you use an m1000, XDAII etc.
Dont know if yo will see this message seeing as it was last week but on the orange website there is now a rom upgrade which gives you a mms composer i have just downloaded it and it works fine....takes a while to upgrade though :lol: :lol:
Thanks, I meant to put something on this thread about the new ROM update, downloaded it the other day and it is great! Orange are bizarre though, I emailed them about a new ROM only a few days before and got a reply saying that MMS was not going to be supported at all on the M1000, so I was a bit shocked to see the update only two days after!
New Rom update
Thanks, I spoke with Orange yesterday about the MMS and they told me there is a new ROM update. I've downloaded it and applied. However when I restored all the data via xBackup the menu and application had gone. I tried this twice from the hard reset and the same applied, so I just rebuilt it manually.
Would anyone be able to take the time to post here in detail the settings for O2 MMS in Ireland on a contract bill plan?
I was on to o2 support but it didn't work and got the impression the staff wasn't really up to 100% on the XDA - probably more used to regular cellphones.
I'd appreciate the help from someone with a working mms service on o2 contract.
Many thanks to all
Conor
you could try the o2 website,
there is a section in mms area (get the settings), which allows you to send yourself the appropriate settings via sms.
try it anyway and let us know how u get on.
I'm in the north so the settings may not be applicable for your region.
good luck anyway.
Thanks but no settings there
Cheers, but they only allow you to send the settings and install them automatically by sms. There's no option to send to an XDA - just Nokia etc...
Can someone just copy them down here from their o2 monthly contract XDA?
Thanks again
Conor
ok conor,
we'll give it a go then, what details do you need and I'lli try to supply them.
MMS blues...
Thanks David!
I'm not sure if N. Ireland settings are the same for Galway but sure, let's see!
For a start, does it connect via MMS Network, or GPRS or My ISP, or The Internet etc.?
I can't send at all. But I do receive notifications of a new mms and who it's from, but when I tap download it tries to download but gets stuck there forever without succeeding. Here's what I got from o2 support but it doesn't work.
Connect to server O2IE (the server name)
Gateway - 192.168.090.074
Server address http://mmsc.mms.o2.ie:8002 (I think!)
Thanks again!

MMS O2 Ireland
Hi Dan
Thanks for that - but I doubt the uk settings would work in Ireland.
O2 here tried to help so I guess I'm registered for these services.
GPRS works fine the prob is just MMS
Thanks again though!
If any Irish o2 pay monthly users could copy down their settings it might help.
Best regards to all
Conor
Conor,
sorry this took so long, got kinda busy elsewere.
have just looked and the connection was set on My Work Network,
I thought it was/should be, via the MMS network.
will have to try and see if it is still working.
the rest of the settings you gave matched mine except for the .ie replacing the .uk, and different gateway no's, this again could be a UK thing.
If I remember correctly I had some serious trouble at the beginning, I think it was something to do with the Rom version, when I upgraded it from 1.60, the MMS service started to function perfectly.
Rom?
Hi
My ROM is 1.60.00WWE
do you know if I'm up to date?
Cheers!
Conor
Hi Conor,
If you unlock your extended rom, there will be a couple of files relating to O2 customisation. It's made easier by using the horrible Active Today settings which can custimise your device for use in Ireland. I'm sure the settings are also made for the mms program. (sorry, I don't use it myself!)
As for the rom version, I think the lastest O2 rom is 1.66 which is available from their site, you could also go to version 1.72 which is available from this site. I'm at 1.72 and think it's fine.
Cheerio
Howard
Thanks Howard, David and all!
I'll try upgrading the RoM
very grateful indeed

Looking for some advice/guidance. I have successfully unlocked 2 orange spv m600 and set one up for O2 and the other for Vodafone. When I send mms to each phone they receive no problem through gprs. GPRS internet also works fine. However, the size of the (identical) picture received on each is different. On O2 the received picture is 5k and is a small square in the centre of the screen which is barely readable, whilst on Vodafone the very same picture is 29k and full screen size. I am sending the same MMS message and picture from the UK 3 network. Have looked in all of the settings, including mms receive (set to original on both).
Can anybody point me in the right direction? Do I need to tweak something else (registry?).
As I'm asking questions - another relating to mms - sending size is limited to 100k, is there a way of automatically resizing pictures that are larger than this as I always get the message "image is too large......" if I try to append a picture I have taken. Is tehre a sofware solution or a setting I can tweak.
Cheers,
M
Ok here goes: I have unlocked an Orange SPV M600 (Prophet) and use it on the UK o2 network. It has original AKU2.0 as it is still under warranty by HTC.
Everything works fine except the MMS pictures are tiny thumbnails. If I set not to download automatically then I see the message (on the server?) at full size, it is only when I click download that it is shrunk, e.g. last night a picture was showing as 16k and when I hit download it arrived and was 3k - so too small to be of any value.
I have checked settings, including installing the o2 settings cab on the wiki (Lordsmiff...). This sets up mobileweb, and put some strange settings for MMS, not the o2 setting listed for manual input. The wiki o2 cab installs amongst other things the wrong server address (vpix or something similar!) . These setting do not work at all (I've tried). When I manually enter the settings (correct server etc) it works, but MMS are shrunk to 3k all the time.
I've tweaked the registry as per the wiki entry for prophet, but this really relates to send size and means I can set to 250k (previously unable to select this option), and tried all the settings like Original size, QVGA, etc. Still no luck.
I've also found a thread on here reporting similar problems in the USA with Cingular, and a cab to fix problem. I installed and then manually entered o2 setting, but again no luck.
One thing I'm puzzled about is when putting in MMS settings I have to say which service to use to download - the gudiance on here says select "O2 MMS" - but this is never on the drop down list. I have to select either O2 active or mobile web, or something else on the list and regardless they all exhibit the same behaviour - a 3k MMS picture!
I'm tearing my hair out, and if I don't get help soon will have none left!
Can anybody point me in the direction (or send) of a cab with the correct o2 MMS settings as the one on the wiki is corrupt (I've used the cab and the exe through activesync).
Other ideas and registry tweaks welcome. Or just sympathy from others with the same problem....
PS I emailed o2 and they said go to o2 shop, so I did and they said "ring customer support".
Update: put the spanish vodafone settings on a different wm phone last night and it too has the vpix settings in MMS. Is this just a setting that users are expected to manually input?
Come on, somebody must know the answer....?
I did post in the sub forum, this under my specific handset (HTC Magic) but not getting much luck so moving to here for some more hits!
OK so i am new to Android, my previous phone was a Windows Mobile HTC SPV m3100, cracking phone until i killed it
I am now setting up my new HTC Magic, for my carrier, but I am getting the same problem with my HTC Magic as i did with the m3100 regarding MMS images, the problem is the handset is not recognized with my carrier (UK based - O2)
So when i send a mms from another handset to my phone, because its unrecognized with o2, they send me the smallest image possible.
With my old m3100, i was using a cooked ROM Black Satin (which caused ident at o2 to fail), i had to alter the user agent in the registry settings to fool o2 into thinking my phone was a different (supported) handset which gave me decent size mms.
I would alter the UA like this (after i downloaded a registry editor for WM6)
HKLM\Software\Arcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\mm1\WspHeader\x-wap-Profile
Can i do the same with Andriod?
Thanks in advance
