XDA II and Orange UK MMS

Since Orange UK dont officially support the XDA I am finding it very hard to get info from them on MMS.
The XDA seems to have 2 ways to set up MMS. Either by creating an MMS connection account from Settings>Connections and entering the Orange login details there, or by setting the server etc up from the Options in MMS Composer and then connecting using some other setting?
It seems that we could be entering in the server stuff twice here and its very confusing.
Does anyone have it working on Orange UK as I cant seem to get mine to work (although MMS is activated on my account)
Thanks

sending pics on o2

i cant receive pics or send them to any one, im on o2 contract, any help? before i ring o2.?

Have you been able to send and receive pics before? Or have you had this prob since owning the device?
If the latter, I believe you have to first send a MMS (on o2) before your number is configured to receive them. You need the following settings:
servername: O2UK
gateway: 193.113.200.195
port number: 9201
server address: http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002
find it in: messaging > MMS > Menu > MMS Configuration > "Servers" tab.
You should see "O2UK" listed, if not click new and create an "O2UK" account using settings above. If you do have O2UK listed then tap on it and check the details as above.

hi im using a new sim card with my exec so could it need activating?
i can get on the net ok, when some one sends me a pic it comes as a normal text and says log on to o2 to view your pic.

I think o2 are a bit like vodafone on this one. Until you've sent an MMS, they don't know you're phone is capable of MMS, hence you get links to your pics on their website.
Obviously you say you are having problems sending, so check your settings for MMS as posted above (you can also try port number "8080"). If they are correct, it might be worth giving o2 a ring, but in the meantime, if you have another MMS mobile, pop the sim in there and try to send an MMS. Once you've successfully sent one, the ones you receive should come through as intended.

Have you installed the corporate install rather than the personal/basic option?
I had the corporate settings and couldn't send or receive mms. When I rang O2 we went through all the possible settings before trying a hard reset and a personal install. After that mms worked fine. Unfortunately the engineer couldn't tell me which extra software was installed, which enabled mms.

Ah yes, forgot about that option. If you don't have any MMS folders under messaging it's likely you've set a corporate install (or has been preset for you).
If you have no MMS folders then you need to install another part of the rom.
First get Total Commander (good file explorer lets you access device rom files) from here:
http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm
you need the "tcmdpocketarm" download. Download, connect your xda to the pc then run & install.
Run Total Commander on your xda. In the top line of the progam where you see a "\", delete it all and type "\extended_rom\"
A list of rom files will appear.
Select one like "CAB_Shortcut_O2..." and select open, or run.
This will install the MMS folders and the nicer O2 phone dialler screen (and a couple of other bits, but still not *all* the o2 cr*p). Follow all prompts, then soft reset.
Under messaging you should now find an MMS folder along with "Text Messages" and "Outlook Email".
This helped me get back the MMS folders and settings, after which all was ok.

ok after talking to o2 3 times i get some one else on the phone and he said the mms had been removed from my sim card so he has set it up again, if some one now sends me a mms msg it comes in to my mms inbox and says downloading but after a bit it says my msg could not be received, same if i try to send a pic it says sending but after 3 times it says your msg could not be sent and puts it in my outbox.
the settings in the mms configuration/servers are the same as wot has been posted on ere.
wot box's should i tick in the preferances ?

I am having the same problem. I am in corporate mode setting but do have MMS in my Outlook section. The configuration is as stated above but it fails to download after 3 attempts.
Anyone have any other ideas?

enigma_uk even though the guy who asked the question, his query had nothing to do with your reply, MAN I THANK YOU THOUGH!!! i needed that info!!! lol
cheeers mate!

Problems Sending an MMS using O2 XDA ll mini

I am with the optus network and I cannot send MMSs off my O2 XDA ll mini. i can send MMSs off the same sim card using other phones but when I use my XDA the following message appears:
Cannot Connect
Unable to connect: You have no modem entries created, and no network card present.
If I dont need a Network Card or Modem for other phones to send an MMS why do I need either for this phone? There is a 'settings' option underneath this message but i do not know what I am doing when i select it. How do I send a basic MMS of my XDA?

MMS uses GPRS to send, so you need to configure your handset for GPRS then input your MMS settings for the Operator you are with,

the settings are slightly different, follow the prompts... b digital is optus btw

MMS Settings on WM6

Hi,
I have a HTC Touch with WM6 on it and yesterday I received a SMS message about a MMS that I received.
I tried to figure out the settings for MMS through my provider (Vodafone NL), through google and through this great forum. Unfortunatly I am unable to find the settings for MMS anywhere in my device.
All the MMS guides say:
Go to messages, go to options and then edit your MMS settings.
Unfortunatly I dont see MMS settings but SMS/MMS settings and the only two options I have are "use unicode if needed" and "request deliveryreceipt".
Anybody can tell me how to configure MMS settings on my WM6 HTC Touch device?
Greetz,
Sander de Rijk

you must have the new mms app just go to sms/mms and make a new mms choose custom, go to the menu or what ever two settings are on the bottom and look for mms settings (sorry for lot being to detailed right now i dont have my phone with me)
hope this helps you in some way

I am sorry but I dont quite understand you.
I only have the option to create a new email account (pop3 or imap) and I cannot choose MMS.
What kind of MMS app do you mean? A seperate install? Or do you mean another message provider like exchange/MMS/pop3?

sorry as i sed i did not have my phone with me but now i do and the mms app is what sends mms because it is separated from the sms sender
My mms settings are in the sms inbox and select menu and mms settings
if not try these
go to your sms inbox select menu go to new and select mms. Choose custom now select menu > options > MMS options.

that works fine, but its the configuration for receiving MMS messages
I received a SMS message from my provider that I should watch the MMS online on some website. Why cant I get it on my device directly?
When I look at the info at the provider they say that I should configure some sort of mms url. But I cannot configure that anywhere.
or am I missing the complete picture of MMS receiving?

this used to happen to my old motorola phone because the file was too big or it was not compatible (even that i knew it was) this is a network problem or try setting the size limit in the mms settings to the max you can on it but if you want higher try searching for the registry settings, search "mms size limit" or something like that

instead of all various configurations where I have to enter the URL of the MMS server it was quite easy: send an MMS and my provider automaticly configures my phone as MMS-capable
