Cingular USA MMS Settings?

Just joined Cingular today and am having MMS problems. I've searched on "Cingular MMS" thruout this forum but have not seen any WIZARD USA MMS connection settings. Remember, WIZARD is using WM5 which has a few differences in these setups.
I signed up with Cingular's MEdiaWorks which has data and MMS. I have the data connect working. My settings:
1) My ISP
2) Add a new modem connection
3) Name for connection: <user choice>
4) Modem: Cellular Line (GPRS)
next
5) APN: wap.cingular
next
6) Username, password & domain: leave blank
finish
This works, connects to Cingular data and I've had up to 135Kbps data rates which is definantly EDGE speeds.
Now for MMS, which I can't get working. I also have never used MMS so I'm not sure of it's interaction with connections, WAP and the phone.
I send a MMS message, it connects,is sending and returns with error message:
"Unable to send your message(s). Your message(s) will be saved in the Outbox."
In MMS section, I click of Menu (WM5)-MMS Configuration, up comes 3 tans. Here are my Servers settings:
Server Name: Cingular MMSC
Gateway: 66.209.11.61
Port Modem: 9201
Server address: http://mmsc.cingular.com
Connect via: (I've tried My ISP and My Work Network without success)
Sending size limitation: 100K
WAP Version: WAP 2.0
In searching, suggestions were to set up a "My Work Network" connection as follows:
Connection name: WAP
Modem: Cellular Line (GPRS)
next
APN: wap.cingular
User name: [email protected]
Password: CINGULAR1
Domain: blank
finish
Then they said to set up a proxy server which I did as follows:
Check box "This network connects to the Internet"
Check box "This network uses a proxy server ..."
Leave proxy server blank
Click on Advanced
Set both WAP and Secure WAP to:
Server: 66.209.11.61
Port: 9201
User names, password and domain, leave blank
This does not work.
Interestingly, the two connections (My ISP & My Work network) have the same APN, wap.cingular?????
I read one post saying something like you had to configure MEdia Works on your phone. What does this mean?
Any thoughts in the WIZARD community would be helpful. Does Cingular USA even support MMS for the WIZARD??? Yikes
I haven't even got to setting up Express Mail yet. I'm sure another post is comming.
Thanks all
Craig

Opps, my broadband was a little slow in filling out the rest of your message. Got it but I've tried this CAB without success. I'll give it another try.

yah, i just tried to send an mms and it didn't work. have you tried giving cingular a call? If they can't help waiting a month or so would be good because thats when the wizard100 is supposed to come out on cingular.

see http://www.bengalboy.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=42&forum=8 for the settings

The HTC WIZARD for Cingular is actualy the HTC 8125 model. Do a google search on 'Cingular 8125' and you see lot's of info. Even Best Buy are starting to carry them ...
I signed up for expressMail from Cingular but they don't have the phone client posted on their web site for the 8125 (Wizard). They do have the HTC 2125 (Smartphone) client but don't offer that phone for sale at their site anyway.
I think we're getting closer to the Wizard at Cingular.

best buy is selling the 8125's alreadY? i'm gonna make a trip down there today!

Cingular MMS Settomgs
Here's a CAB file with the MMS settings for Cingular. It seems to work on my Qtek 9100.

does someone have the same cab file for t-mobile usa (to be used with qtek 9100)

Here's the VPN enabled and without VPN CAB files (USA)
I have attached both the VPN enabled and non-VPN enabled CAB files.

Now that the 8125 is out on cingular, all the mms and medianet settings can be found on the cingular support site. Check it out here:

T-Mobile MMS [not working]

Hi. I have T-Mobile (prepaid)... I've always used unlocked phones and I've never had problems with MMS. These are my settings:

wap.voicestream.com
216.155.165.50 (also tried .050)
Port: 8080
216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
What am I doing wrong?

Hello? No one writes back anymore?

Try using the Connection wizard??

I downloaded it, installed it, run it...but the drop downs for "Country:" and "Operator:" are blank.....

Have you soft reset first...usually the program will begin to find the settings automatically.

I did a soft reset, and nothing... It didn't start automatically, it still had blank fields when I opened it up, and I'm still not getting MMS's. Any other ideas?

I know your profile says Phoenix, but just want to make sure you aren't in South Florida, big T-Mobile issues there at the moment.

Nope, Phoenix

Shame your in Usa, id have wished i could help.
This is from t-mobile.com's website
WAP GW IP Address:216.155.165.050
APN Name:wap.voicestream.com
Messaging Server:http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
Data Mode:Connection Oriented
If your on pre-paid make sure you have enough credit on your phone (you wouldnt belive the fools i handel who forget that)

corrected the IP address from 216.155.165.050 to .50

I found that the only way i could get my MMS with TMO to Work Is if I changed the Last tab from "T-mobile" MMS to "The Internet" and soft Reset Than everything should work GREAT !

Xperia AT&T users question - wap.cingular or isp.cingular?

The default AT&T configuration on the xperia is to use wap.cingular
For those who don't know, there are two internet access configurations for AT&T:
access point: wap.cingular
username: [email protected]
pw: cingular1
access point: isp.cingular
username: [email protected]
pw: cingular1
Does anybody know which one works better? I had heard isp.cingular is supposed to be better, but for some reason it is not working and my phone gives me a "cannot connect" error message. It works fine on wap.cingular and I have to turn off the proxy settings to get slingplayer to work.

it depends on the type of internet plan you have if you have the medianet plan use wap if you have ppc connect use isp
i use medianet on my 8125

mine still doesnt work with neither settings. does it matter if you have the 14.99 media net or the 29.99 would that make a difference with the xperia x1?

To use the ISP access point you must contact tech support to get it provisioned to your account..
I must use it to gain vpn access to several of my clients networks. No proxies used .....
_____________________________________
To access MediaNet WEBSITE!!!, you must use the WAP access point!
Also you must have tthe proxies activated!!
Proxies setting::
http
server: wireless.cingular.com
port: 80
Socks
server: localhost
Port: 1080
Socks4
If you do not set the proxies, you can acess the Internet but not any of the associated sites with Medianet!!!
hth,
Stuart

I found that if you use the autoconfiguration on the phone.. you have to do the following:
1) go to setting > connection > manage my existing connection
2) then click on media net
3) click next until user name etc... then clear user name and password and click advance
4) click on Use IP header compresion
5) click on and finish
6) uncheck "this network use a proxy server to connect to the internet" in the proxy setting tab
I have to do this everytime when I swap out my att sim and back into the phone before I can use the internet and send mms (I can probably use internet w/o doing all this..... but definitely not mms)
enjoy~

I don't understand why you'd have to do that.
Are you on one of the regular MEdia Net plans, or are you on the tethering plan?

i tried all of the above methods the result is i am able to use all other internet applications like google maps MSN etc
but only cannot browse any websites using IE or Opera on HSPA
i am using a iPhone 3G SIM on my X1a maybe that's causing the problem?

Yes it is, In order to use your Iphone Sim card for browsing the internet you have to call att and have a tech person set it up, I think it means dropping the Iphone plan!!

I am on the media plan... I have no idea why I have to do that either but if I dont....I will not be able to send mms... thats for sure
btw.... dropping the iphone plan isnt necessarily a bad thing.... given the cheapest iphone 3G plan cost you $70.... I can get a $60 plan like my original iphone with 3G connection on the X1

O2 Connection Settings

I want to flash my XDA Serra but the thing i norticed was i am unable to get the O2 network settings when i enter my mobile number it asks me to contact customer services and thats plain long!
However with the O2 phone i noticed theres like a connection program that gets the settings or unless someone has one that does the same thing.
I want to flash my phone with PROven ROM

PAYG or contract? The PAYG settings are all over this sub forum like a rash
Not sure if the links from here work or not, but they might be worth a try.
UK GPRS Settings

even if they are contract settings, just edit the settings in connections to payandgo.o2.co.uk for access point and payandgo for password and they will work

yay, an O2 user responded, i couldn't help more than i did as i am on Vodafone and mine were in a nice neat tidy CAB file.

postpay settimgs
Hi,
You could use prepay but they may cap the prepay connection speed (like they did with contracts for a long time)
postpay mobile web settings
start - settings - connections - connections - the internet - create new connection
connection name (whatever)
type: cellular line (3G, GPRS)
Access point: mobile.o2.co.uk
Username: o2web/faster/(blank) - doesnt make much difference it just allocates a different ip range address to the device with each username - i suggest o2web as this is the official one for devices. 'Faster' they use in data cards, mobile broadband etc.
Password: password
Domain: (Blank)
Finish
Soft reset
Sorted
Cheers
Ross

Thank you! You posted this early last year, and it just helped me. Been having issues all morning!

Disable data while allowing mms

Still can't figure this out. Trying apndroid but not working. Do I need to turn on or off n e thing in settings?? Data? 2g only? According to statement online, still going online

I think this depends on your carrier's apn settings.
On Orange in the UK, I have separate apns for data and mms, so I can disable or enable them separetely.
Other carriers use a single apn for both however.

there is no way to do this because of the way android uses access points. i know, i want to do this too. i dont like how android only has either on or off data. other phones, like my symbian devices for example, data only turns on when you open an app that needs data. and when you close that app the data session terminates, which saves a tremendous amount of battery life.
android on the other hand keeps an always-on data connection, no matter what, even when the phone is not doing anything or using any data. this is why android devices get such poor battery life compared to other devices.

yah. in settings, theres only 1 apn for t-mobile. thats sucks. some ppl said apndroid works but i cant seem to figure out a way to make it not go on net while allowing mms. that sux. =3 was soo hoping i can use mms now since my old 1st gen iphone couldnt
thats kinda stupid too cuz im tryin to accept pictures which should theoretically count as just messages or counted under the texting plan (unlimited for me) but the phone uses "data" to download it.

I don't see the point on using mms at all in smartphones, it is so much easier to just attach the picture to an email.
Well, for me at least, since my carrier gives me unlimited data an no mms at all. But still, its been ages I don't get an mms from someone.
Back to the topic, unless you have separated apn for data and mms there's no way to disable one and keep the other. At least I don't know how.

Oh. *sad face* oh well....

I'm pretty sure if you create a APN with only the MMS settings, and set it as MMS type, it should only do mms.
OP, have you called your carrier and asked them for proper APN settings for what you want to to do?

i dont think that will work. he currently has mms working fine. this is a limitation with android OS. for example symbian you can turn off the data connection, and when an mms comes in, the data turns on and retrieves the message, then closes the data connection. android cannot do this. with android data is either on completely, all the time, or off completely all the time. and since mms grabs the pic via the data connection, it wont work if data is turned off.

WITHOUT Data Plan:
Name: mms
APN: wap.voicestream.com (This is generic settings without T-Mobile data plan)
username: mms
password: mms
MMSC: 216.155.174.84/servlets/mmsservlets/mms
MMS Proxy: 216.155.165.050
MMS Port: 8080
Give T-Mobile a call, they will probably give you the same settings.

I use data toggle widget from market for my wifes phone and when I disable it gives me option to keep mms on.. hope it helps

i stand corrected, i was wrong i thought it was tied to the system data connection.

Yeah, just create a second APN and set its type to 'mms'. Keep your main one as type 'default, supl'. That way, you can disable your main APN and your MMS will still work fine (if that's what you want)

when i change the 2nd one to mms, i lose the dot next to the APN to enable it? i tried deleting the 1st apn but i cant recieve again

umm im confused what are you trying to do? receive mms? i have the 10 tmobile data plan and what i did was change the default apn name to
T-Mobile US-MMS
then the apn type to
mms
create a second apn and name it
T-Mobile US
APN: internet2.voicestream.com
Port:80
MCC:310
MNC:280
APN type: default
