Hello,
I'm completely lost, so sorry for the completely noob message. I just got an AT&T 8525 running Windows Mobile 5, and I used the unlocker on this site to unlock it. Worked great. But I still can't send or receive MMS messages from the phone. I use T-Mobile. I've fished through tons and tons of sites explaning the settings and how to set this up, but it's just not working for me.
If I go under "connections", I have a section thing that I made, called "T-Mobile GPRS". Under that, if go to "Manage existing connections", I hav eone called "T-Mo MMS1" that I made which uses Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G) Access Point: wap.voicestream.com, no user name, no password, no domain. Then I did proxy settings Proxy server "216.155.165.050" and under Advanced I have the HTTP Proxy server as "216.155.165.050:8080". Then I go to start-messaging and hit "Menu-tools-options" and I click MMS then click the Servers tab where I named one "T-Mo MMS". Under this, the gateway is "216.155.165.050" Port "8080", server address "http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms", and connect via "T-Mobile GPRS". At this point, I keep reading that there should be some sort of "WAP" menu or something, but I don't have that. The only other thing I have there is "sending size limitation" which only lets me choose 600K.
When I go to send a picture message, it connects to the GPRS, but then just sits there "sending" it. But it never sends, and when I come back, there's a red X on my message saying that it never sent.
Could anyone please help me out or direct me to the right place/forum/thread for this type of problem? Thank you very much.
In the MMS section, you have to change the settings in the MMS options to use T-mobile MMS settings.
Thanks for your quick reply. I'm not quite sure what you mean. Could you elaborate?
-- Nick
replace 216.155.165.050 with 216.155.165.50.
The 050 is a mistake on the tmobile site.
That worked!
Thank you, Sandhawk! That was definitely the problem. I appreciate it
-- Nick
Ok, I'm having the same problem, but have followed all of the suggestions with no fix. I'm also on T-mobile, and get the "error synchronizing" message. I've tried all of the settings I could possibly find, but nothing is working. I'm using Schlap's 4.01 rom. Thanks.

Wonder if anyone can help.
Got my blackberry XDA II on vodafone sim working - ie delivering emails - great.
One problem though I can't seem to access the internet any more - anyone know what the issue is?
Vodafone say it's not a provisioning issue - which I guess leaves a Connection setting issue - tried loads of different variations but with no sucess.
Any ideas? Anyone else got this config working?
I am using the 1.72.181 ROM with the Balckberry client on an XDA 2 in the US with t-mobile. Assume for the title of your message that your are also on this ROM. If that is the case you have to "stop" the blackberry client and then use the Voda internet connection APN to get to get to the internet. Are you doing that or trying to go to the internet while the blackberry client is connected?
Yes - using that ROM. When you say stop the BB service does that mean switch it off in Settings...? Or just get the XDA to connect to a different network?
To be clear could you tell me how many and which Connections you have in your My Connections?
I've got 2 - one with the original Vodafone APN settings and another with the blackberry.net settings + XDA is set to autopick...
Yes, I turn off the Blackberry Client by double clicking on the Today screen icon. This brings up settings and I select stop. Can restart again via "settings" menu...
I believe the crux of the problem is that the Blackberry has its own APN and it is not possible to add the regular data APN on the same account (at least not with TMO in the USA) So you have to access the internet via the Blackberry APN. I use: wap.blackberry.net in the USA. Just recently the internet connection stopped working, and now I have to use a proxy server to get to the intenert via the Blackberry APN. I am using: 216.155.165.50 There may be a similar need when using the Vodaphone Blackberry APN in the UK...
Hope this helps

Chris
Help with using the pc software for the blackberry
Hi guys
I have update my rom to have the Blackberry on it and also downloaded the pc software to config it.
But when i run the pc software to setup the Blackberry it keeps saying make sure it is in the cradle or that the software is on to which the answer is yes to both.
Has anyone any clues or hints on how to get them to talk
Thanks
Thanks for your help Chris - tried that unfortunately not working from UK... One question - did you set up your connection as your work connection? It would really help me if you could take the time to just send me your exact connections settings..
Anyone else know what the proxy address might be for the Vodafone in the UK?
Hi "Mr Vulture"
Yes, I am using the "My Work Connection" side. I think I am right in saying that you have to use that side to use a proxy server. So as far as connections go its as follows:
I set this connection up under "My Work Network" as:
Modem: Cellular GPRS
APN: wap.voicestream.com
User Name:
Password:
Then, under "Edit My Proxy Settings/Proxy Settings" I have both boxes checked ("This network connects to the internet" and "This network uses a proxy server"
Then Under "proxy server" I have: 216.155.165.50.
Then hit the "Advanced" button. This take you to the server settings. Here I have:
HTTP: 216.155.165.50 Port: 8080
WAP: 216.155.165.50 Port: 8080
Secure WAP:
Socks: 216.155.165.50 Port: 1080
Type: Socks 4
Finally, under "settings/connections/advanced" g to "select networks" and under "Programs that auotomatically connect to internet...." select " My Work Network"

Let me know how you get on

Chris - thanks very much for your help. I tried all your settings and still nothing....so thought I'd try helpdesk *again*
And it seems that despite assuring me twice previously that I had both the Blackberry and GPRS provisioning - seems like they got it wrong - grrrr. One swish of their magic wand and it's all working.
Thanks again for all you help - it got me to the point where I knew *I* wasn't doing something wrong.
John.
Hi John
Glad you have got it working. Seems Voda have gone one better than TMo US, whi informed me that it was impossible to provision the regular Data Plan APN AND the Blackberry Data APN on the same account/number. Maybe I should try my luck with TMo customer care again...!
Regards
Chris
Know what - think they told me that too - but I'm guessing its a commercial policy rather than a technical issue...and seems I got someone who didn't know the policy - what a shame
Have a good weekend and thanks again for the help.
John.
Hi John
I think you are probably right. I wnet into a Cingular store last night, and they said they could do it, no problem. I'll give TMo another go :wink:
Regards
Chris
PS Have you figured out how to get some additional kind of audible alert for when a Blackberry message comes in? All I get right now is a single, very quiet "beep". Blackberry does not show up under "Sounds and Notifications", so I have not been able to figure out if there is another way to. Any thoughts..?
Folks, i have mails push to my xda II but no sound? I cant seem to find anywhere where i can set a sound when mails are being push to my set? Any clue?
Same question asked here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=13839
ok.. i replaced the default.wav with another sound file.. worked..
Hi Tripartite
That sounds like a reasonable fix. A couple of questions:
1. What folder is the default.wav file in?
2. Do you have to rename the new wave file you want to use as "default.wav" for it to work?
Many Thanks
Chris
the file is in My Device/Windows folder.
Yes, got to overwrite it..
Great! Many Thanks. Also, is there a way of controlling the volume of this sound? Would that be a function of how high you have the "system" sound set or something else?

Yeah, you can use the system sound settings...
I have tried lots of times to set up my XDA to get picture messages. I has never worked. I can surf the net, and get (but not send) e-mail(POP3).
Sometimes I have had an error message that says "Cannot connect with current connection, to change your connections press settings". If I press settings it goes to a page with: My ISP name and My work network.
As I have changed stuff sometimes, I can click download MMS and a yellow icon says receiving, and it stops!!!
I know someone will just say do a search.......but i have tried, the best settings I got were:
MMS
APN - general.t-mobile.uk
IP Address - 149.254.211.010
User Name - user
Password - one2one
URL - http://mmsc.t-mobile.co.uk
The first page of options in the MMS composer says
connect via: What goes here??
In the MMS composer setup there is no space for username or password, so where does it go??
Can someone explain the process in really simple step by step instructions , as just giving settings, and not explaing where to put them is not helpful for a dummy like me!!!
Thanks!
many operators require you dont make a connections like you did for the
gprs with all the same settings and use a different accesspoint name
often mms
and use that
i'm sure if you search excluding to the networking it forum and use the search string
Tmobile AND mms
you'll find some guides
the AND part mean that you will only get results which include both the search words
After further fiddling, I have found out I can send myself a MMS, just not get one from someone else.
Any tips?
Help!
I have the 8125 so the phone is set to receive all of it's mms messages through cingular. Now that I'm using a un-locked t-mobile sim I still can not get my mms messages.
Does anyone know how to make this work?
Under "MMS Configuration" for the servers, there is a "new" option. When I open that, it asks for the following:
Server name______________
Gateway:________________
Port number:_____________ the number in the port box is 9201
Server address:_______________
Connect via: it gives the options of media net, my work network, my isp, work, sicure WAP Network, the WAP network, the internet.
Am I looking to go the right route and can anyone help?
Thanks,
Loretta
try one of these cabs.. even if you don't have a data plan these should setup your MMS..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2237367&postcount=1
Thank you...but I cant find what you said to go to...
How do I get to that place you suggested I look? I tried to copy-paste it into the browser and it came up not found?
thanks,
loretta
You didn't say who you have service with. Those cabs are for tmobile just CLICK (that's why it's blue) the link (you can't copy and paste it because the URL displayed is truncated). If you have cingular then I can't help you
These CABs are awesome! Make sure to use the rigt one though. I find that I need to use the WAP one (his 5.99 plan) to get it to work in the SE US.
Thanks a bunch!
What do your CABs do differently than just setting up the connection and the MMS server though? Up until I stumbled across these CABs, I almost had the settings memorized.
I have the latest 3VO rom installed. No problem EXCEPT the MMS won't work.
I have tmobile. The messages just sit in the out box.
They worked fine with the original bloat software from tmobile.
I even hard reset. No help.
Maybe a setting?
Help. I have pictures of my new grand daughter I need to send!!
Did you try the setting posted in the ROM Thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4799282&postcount=529
No. The settings on the post are from the 20's. ugh... Thanks!
SMS works fine. the default settings are.
CONNECTIONS. GPRS.
Then I pick. Tmobile MMS
access point = epc.tmobile.com
everything else is blank, user name, password, primary dns, secondary dns and IP
thats all I have to choose from.
Change the "connects to" to: WAP Network
Change the "Access Point" to: wap.voicestream.com (you have to type it in, it is not a selection)
Then go to Settings/MMS Setting, press the right soft key and select MMSC Settings. Press the right soft key and select Edit. Scroll down and make sure the settings match up with the post I mentioned, specifically the "Connect via" is set to WAP Network.
YAY it worked. I'm only mildly techtarded! Thanks sooo much.
Glad you got it to work. SMS and MMS are totally different as far as how they connect on the cellular network. MMS is basically email using you cellphone number as an email address. You can also send to other email addresses using MMS.
T-mobile only uses WAP for their MMS connectivity, not the regulat data/internet. I am not sure if this is still true for 3G, but for Edge WAP is required.
Must be for 3G. I'm on it. Thanks again for rhe help and education. I appreciate it.
Hey everyone.
My mom recently acquired an unlocked focus flash, and she is trying to use it with tmobile, but she's unable to send or recieve MMS messages. We have tried a ton of different APN settings to no avail, and even tried going into a tmobile store to get the APNs. Nothing is working. I was hoping someone out there was able to get it to work using network manager when it was still working and is now able to provide me with what i need in order to get the mms working. I am not able to load up network manager, as it always comes up with an error stating to use wireless manager instead. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
What I did

I had the same problem, this is what I did.
Go to the Marketplace, tap “Samsung Zone”, and download “Wireless Manager”
Once that’s installed, open the Wireless Manager app
Go to the “apn” screen, and tap “edit apn”
Push the “+” button at the bottom
Fill out the data as follows: (any fields that I didn’t mention should be left at the defaults)
APN Name: MMS
Profile Category: MMS
MMSC: http ://mms_msg_eng_t-mobile_com/mms/wapenc (Replace underscores with Periods, no space after http) *See Note*
APN:wap.voicestream.com
Auth type: none
Proxy address:216.155.165.50
Proxy port:8080
Click the checkmark button on the toolbar
*Note: When prompted that you cannot add any more characters in this field, simply add the next character, and each time you are prompted with the message, hit ok. But notice your character was still put in. You should be able to fit the entire thing now, but only one at a time.
