I have recently unlocked my Prophet and am using it on O2. I spent ages getting the GPRS and MMS settings to work (have now re-flashed WM5 NVID ROM because I had too many problems with WM6).
When I finally got the MMS settings working, I found that photos sent to the device were reduced to 78x160 pixels and a very poor colour depth. Initially I thought it could have been my Hermes that I was sending it from, but then I read that O2 will 'determine your device capabilities' when delivering MMS. This made me think that it was a problem with O2 not recognising the phone and delivering MMS in 'safe' format.
After poking around at the O2 extended ROM for the XDA Mini S, I have found a fix.
There are 2 registry values that you need to change:-
1) HKLM\Software\Arcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\mm1\WspHeader\Profile
Code:
http://www.htcmms.com.tw/gen/wizard-1.0.xml
(the actual text, not the contents of the page - for some reason the forum won't let me remove the link lol)
2) HKLM\Software\Arcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\mm1\WspHeader\User-Agent
Code:
Xda Mini S/arcsoft-mmsua-3.0.0.xx
This fools the O2 server into thinking your phone is an XDA Mini S (which is not much of a lie). You will now get MMS in full size and full colour (providing you've got your connection and MMS service working).
Hope this helps someone because it took me ages to find the problem
Brilliant, been searching around for a fix for months. Have since moved on to unlocked SPV M700 and exactly the same problem (with O2 MMS).
genius m8, have just changed setting on M700 and hey presto full size mms!
glad it helped - i was searching for ages too (well seemed like ages, was 5 hours lol)

Hi , I also have unlocked prophet on o2 but I cannot get pic messaging to work at all.I have spent the last week trawling round everywhere for various settings.Have tried the whole manual thing and various cabs.I am seriously thinking of changing to orange or T mobile !!!!!! Could you share your settings by any chance. I am also reluctant to ring o2 because they tell you its not a supported device and I had all this trouble with my sim free imate jam in the beginning !!!!!
What ROM version are you using?
I will post my settings shortly...

Hiya Burnes,
Its the original orange rom but I unlocked it with lokiwiz and I can use my payg O2 sim as phone and sms . I haven't got round to trying a new rom yet coz there are so many and I'm confused about the hard/soft spl stuff and worried about bricking it!!!! . My M600 is G4 and the start up settings are as follows
IPL 2.10.0001
SPL 2.10.0001
GSM 02.07.20
OS 2.10.1.22
WIN MOB 5
OS 5.1.195
BUILD 14847.2.0.0
I think I have got the correct mms settings but I think its the connection thats causing me the probs. Today I managed to "send"the messages and o2 took the money off my account but the messages only went to the outbox not the sent box.
Cheers for your help so far. o2 says muy card is set up for pic msg but I am getting mighty fed up with the whole thing!!!! : (
well done sir, going to change the settings on my Herald now!
Does anyone know the reg fix to enable you to add/remove mms settings?
@ burnes
thanks for this reg tweak. Been looking for something like this for ages.
Works a treat on my TyTN II.
Thanks again
k-c
In relation to my problem:
In your registry goto:
HKLM/SOFTWARE/Arcsoft/ArcSoft MMS AU/Config/UI
There you will find a key called "EnableServerEdit" set it to 1 and you will be able to edit the server settings.

I'm really not sure about the connections. Took me ages to get the connections working, but I didn't figure out what it is that I changed. What I can tell you is:
Network Wizard wouldn't save the settings
Manual settings (from FileSaveAs) connected and MMS got to 99% but no further
I messed about with so many settings that I really can't remember how I got it working. Sorry I can't help more, but have a look at FileSaveAs, just search for 'O2 MMS GPRS Settings' on Google.
Hiya Burnes, thanks for lookin for the settings for me . I know exactly what you mean. There are so many variables and I did exact same thing. Finally got round to emailing o2 3 times with no reply, phoning them twice and gave up. Got an orange payg sim, registered it within 2 hours , put money on it. got the settings from orange website and sent mms no probs. Also can access internet too, so after about 10 years I left o2 and my number changes over later this week !!!!! Im free at last!!!
PS , I also managed to hard spl the SPV M600 and have upgraded with Cloudyfa's wonderful WM6.1 Shadow rom. It seems to be very stable, battery normal my sony DR-BT20NX bluetooth stereo headphones work fine with media player and tcpmp what more could I want ?
Well I will be putting my settings for O2 on my WM Wiki site this week. As it's only a sideline at the moment, I haven't had much time. I will post a message here when I have figured aout the correct settings.
Glad you got it working in the end!
Hi Guys,
i reliase that is an xda forum and covers xda topics but i am experiencing the exact same problem on a Samsung D880. this phone is not supported or avialable in the UK. i have only had it two days and thought it was faulty! i have played with all sorts of settings but no joy. i have checked all the mms settings. Is there anyway i can fool the 02 network into thinking this is a differnt Samsung model??
Cheers

Samsung devices are not Windows Mobile based. I wouldn't have thought that there is a way, but I doubt anyone here has one to look at never mind knowing enough about them to do it.
Try finding a website that specialises in Samsung phones.

i realise that and like you say its not going to be as doing it on a windows based phone. Cant seem to find a Samsung specialist website.
Silly question but can those that experienced this problem on O2 before the fix did you try picture messsaging using T-mobile, Orange or Vodafone? Did you have the same problems with these networks.?
Problem exists on o2 Uk only - I set up an spv m600 for a neighbour on voda and tested the mms settings, picture received full size whereas my wifes on o2 always tiny pictures until this reg hack applied have used this hack on my wifes new spv m700 (Trinity) running latest WM6.1 MARY Rom and it works on that too.

Cheers! i just confirmed this my sending an mms to the phone with a T-mobole PAYG sim. Its only a problem with O2. Tried to speak to someone at O2 but was a complete waste of time and they said it was a problem with my phone being a non uk model!twats! not as good as what Samsung told me. He said that Samsung phones can only support picture messages sent to other Samsung phones and and not other manufacturers phones. I told the guy to stop being stupid and put me through to the technical department. His reply - I do work in the technical dept sir! scary!

ok sorry if this is really stupid but i am having problems with MMS - no please dont tut and hit the next post :roll: :lol:
problem - not working - "Dialed:Cannot connect for an unknown reason" - helpful!
things tried :
hard reset (yes left it to load all the O2 junk) still not working
O2_UK.cab from my Himalaya (which works fine on XDAII) downloaded from here ages ago.....no joy there either - do i need a different .cab?
manual settings from O2 website...nope!
anything daft that i have missed? i got this for the wife and its making me look silly :?
why couldnt she just get an XDAII!!! i can get that to work
from what i have read on here by reloading all the O2 rubbish after a hard reset it should have set up the GPRS and MMS but as it hasnt i am wondering if i may have been unlucky and got a corrupted extrom from new? i think it unlikely but O2 havnt registered the IMIE yet for me to be able to download the OS from their website or i would try reloading it.
please tell me i am missing something stupid or i will have to admit defeat and take it back to the shop! :roll:
ohh should add this is an O2 branded XDA mini with WM 2005, i never got MMS to work with WM5 on my XDAII but i figured as this was an official release that MMS "should" work out the box.....was i wrong? do i need to use a work around?
thanks for any help
hmm no replies?
surely someone else has had problems and if not then that would be of help to know :roll:
if there is anyone out there with an o2 uk mini that can confirm that the default from a hard reset gives working MMS with no other user changes then i will at least know that i have a faulty unit/ROM
would be apreciated
Sounds weird, if you have installed all the O2 cabs after a hard reset and it is still not working. In Start-Settings-Connections if you click on Manage existing connections for My Work do you see o2 Active? If that is there, and the settings are present in MMS settings on Pocket Outlook, it should be sending. If not, have you tried reflashing with the launch ROM from the my-xda.com website? It's exactly the same ROM as should be one, but maybe your Extended ROM is misisng something? Sorry I can't be more help, hope you get it sorted.
Fin
thanks, yes its a wierd one all right :evil:
all the settings are there and yes i have reloaded all the O2 active junk from a hard reset.
unfortunately as i only bought the phone yesterday the IMIE isn't yet registered with O2 so a cant download the ROM yet :roll:
oh well
thanks for the info at least i can be fairly sure that there is a issue with the device/ROM and its not just me being a plonker! :lol:
If you want the ROM you can get it without entering an IMEI
http://www.my-xda.com/xdaminis_soft3.html

ok here is the update - and the solution :lol:
1st i got the rom using the IMIE from my phone (they only check the IMIE matches the phone no. - not that it is the correct model)
re flashed the ROM - still no MMS :twisted:
thought for a minute then swapped SIM's and guess what, the plonkers at O2 have for some reason disabled MMS/Data on my wifes SIM!
so for anyone who gets a similar issue call your service provider and make sure the data service has been enabled! - though you might have expected them to have checked that when i first called them with MMS problems yesterday :evil:
hope this might help someone in the future

D'oh! Oh well at least you know it's not your phone and its easily solved.
well i can't believe they (O2) did this, i went through all this when i took out the contract a year ago so i know it was working before the upgrade so they actually disabled this when i upgraded!
its not like you might wand a data service with a device like the wizzard, is it :roll:
Hi all,
I've spent the last month searching through everything so as not to waste anyones time with a simple question but to no avail and so here I am.
I've been given an XDA II from a family member as they have upgraded to the Exec and I have been using it as a PDA only. Well I see that Orange have some good deals on the go and so decide to use it as a phone/Internet enabled PDA as well.
I've unlocked it (many times now) got 2003SE on it and have put the correct MMS and GPRS settings in (The ones from Shadamehr). I've checked with Orange and GPRS is enabled on my account with them (PAYG at the mo) but for some reason the same thing that was happening when I first got it pops up
"Cannot connect
There is no modem at the above number..."
So best my small mind can figure is that somehow the 'phone part' of the PDA isn't working. I've tried other sims in it and they don't work either (o2 and Three - but I think Three is funny anyways). Is there something wrong with the actual phone bit?
It's a legit XDA with the M1000 ROM upgrade from the orange site which has made it 2003SE
Does anyone have any knowledge about how I can get my PDA to be a phone? It was once before (but with O2)
I asked this question over in Networking but they seem to think it's something specific to the phone.
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Hi, I recently moved to orange payg on my wizard and have got the data service working perfectly so i can browse the internet. I cannot however get picture messaging working. Ive seen the posts around the board detailing the procedure on wm2003 but im having trouble translating the information into wm5 tried a few different settings but no joy so far.
Can anyone that has mms working on wm5 / wizard for a uk payg orange sim please let me know all their settings.
Many thanks,
Kevin.
anyone ?? this is really doing my nut in !!
I'm using an unlocked vario with these settings and they work perfectly.
thank you for the reply. I just got it working however... called orange and they had 'forgotten' to enable it. Gave me 30 free pic messages so i guess its all ok in the end.
cheers.

Hi guys,
I consider myself a pretty good with these devices but this one's got me...even the good ol' search facility aint giving me what I need.
Basically I got an unlocked Orange SPV M3100 with a Voda UK contract SIM.
I setup all the connection details and MMS server as i've found on web but also the HTC utility which sets it all up for you. I get the internet ok but no MMS!
'Error synchorizing' or similar is what I get - it doesnt even try to fire up the data connection - immediate response and i've triple-checked the settings for the MMS server. Anyone point me in a better direction?
Much appreciated.
My bet would be the MMS port is wrong, it should be 9201. Has the same problem after using a vodafone settings cab, everything else worked, just no MMS.
Double check your settings against the 2nd post in the thread below, i have used this setup many times and these settings are all 100% right.

Hi mate,
thanks so much for your reply. Still not working but I suspect it's something to do with the new WM6 (LWVS) rom i've got..it doesn't seem to be happy with it.
I've never had a problem before with any other version...weird.
Try Black, ive had no problems on vodafone and im flashing 3.01 as i type. I also find radio 1.40.30.00 works very well on vodafone, get it from the wiki if you havnt already
Just tried Black 3.01 as well and same problem...i must be doing something stupid..i've found several sets of instructions (all the same) and used the HTC utility which installs the settings for you (you select your country and operator) and I still get the same issue.
The thing I find really weird is that the MMS application doesn't seem to even attempt to initiate a data connection - just errors straight away.
I've not flashed back to LWVS Rom as it's my preferred flavour but i've got to be doing something wrong or missing something.
My radio ROM is 1.41.00.10 - not related to that is it? I'm about to try the version our mate has suggested above but if anyone has any other ideas...please do let me know.
Thanks!
It appears i'm a turnip!
It works - now that i've had a test sent to me! But if i manually press send/recieve it errors so probably was working all along! stupid error messages.
Thanks for your help though James - much appreciated.

thanks step0011 man!!, my super hero!!
I spent more than 3 weeks to find this ROM
It's kinda funny that it just leaked accidentally by the repairing service.
I'll try it tonight if it's work with the O2 company one not the T-Mobile.
thanks again!!
ps. I don't know it's gonna work with T-Mobile only or both O2 and T-Mobile.
i have the xda orbit on o2, i just use t-mobile sim because they offer unlimited GPRS
I tried and it works perfectly as it used to.
anyway, got a bunch of thanks to step0011, you are goddess!!
Just a couple of words to say congratulations on finding this elusive rom...

orbit on t-mobile
Hey step0011.
I have a quick question - OT.
I also have an orbit with t-mobile (unlimited gprs) but cannot get the voicemail to work as the orbit will drop the 0 on the voicemail number (+440627843******). Any ideas on how to overcome this? I tried dropping the +44 but i still get a message from t-mobile that i've dialled the wrong number.
Thanks
ben
You drop the +44 and insert a 0 (zero) in its place.
lol good question i usually just dial 222... i'll get back to you on that soon

hehe cracked it... rite... in the infinate wisdome of microsoft (being smart arses) have taken it opon themselves to automatically drop the 0 after +44 so just put 2 0's instead of 1 e.g +4400737*******
