Has someone figured out MMS on T-Mobile in the USA?

I've found instructions on their site, and various other places, but no joy. I can make GPRS connections and send/receive SMS just fine, but MMS simply times out.

mms setting tmobile usa
i might be able to help ill post tomorrow with the settings

T-Mobile MMS
First... In order for you to receive MMS messages, your GPRS has to be connected to wap.voicestream.com
2nd in your MMS application you need to point the MMS application to use the wap.voicestream.com profile.
3rd. The gateway address is listed as 216.155.165.050 well.. I'm here to tell you .. that leading 0 messes everything up, just get rid of it and use 216.155.165.50 instead.
This should get you connected.
Brandon

I'm unable to connect to wap.voicestream.com, so it seems I need to get them to authorize it...
What is the server address to put in the MMS settings? I have:
http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms

Authorize
Yeah.. Have them set you up and let them know that you have a device that uses Picture Messaging.

Well, that works if I manually connect to the WAP gateway and set the MMS software to use "The internet" as the connection. Thanks!
Any ideas on how to make it auto-dial the WAP connection when it needs to, so I can leave the normal gateway as the internet default? Otherwise I have to switch it manually every time I want to use the VPN.

With these settings, it's still not working for me. What should I put for the port number?

Use port 9201

Are any of you getting free internet anymore? I stopped using my phone for a while, but I haven't gotten free internet in a while and its buggine me. Someone suggested signing up for t-zones and then using wap.voicestream.com, but I don;t want to waste the money unless I have to. Thanks.

Port 9201 worked! Thanks, imagine_einstein!!

O2 MMS not sending out

Sorry if this has been answered before (but I can't find a solution).
I have loaded latest o2 rom in corporate mode and entered the MMS config but all I get is :
"Unable to send your message(s). Your message(s) will remain in the Outbox."
The settings I have are:
For MMS settings
server O2UK
193.113.200.195
port 9201
server address: http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002
I have a wireless connection at home and am not sure what MMS should connect through (connect via choice in settings).
Anyone have an idea or had the same problem?
Steve

i have had the same problem. never figured out how to get it to send, despite trying lots of things in connection settings, so gave up in the end.
would be interested to hear the answer tho! )

Use your gprs operator settings.. You cannot have any other connection...

hey here are the O2 settings that work for me to enable sending of MMS Messages
in MMS Configuration under servers i have
Server Name O2UK
Gateway 193.113.200.195
Port number 9201
Server address http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002
Connect via My Work Network
Then in settings under the connections tab click on Connections
Add a new modem connection under My Work Network
This should be called something like o2 Active connecting using Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)
Access point wap.o2.co.uk
username o2web
password password
leave everything else as default.
This should let you send MMS Messages, it works for me!

Thanks mjames_84 those settings are working now.
Hope it helps others too.

ah... this might be the problem - i do
i already have a connection setup in both "My Connections" and "My Work Connections"
is there no way around this?

tried deleting the other connection in "My Work Connections" and yup - MMS sends fine now. not sure what i'll do when i need that connection again, but for the moment - yay, MMS fun

One thing I have noticed ....
Even with the settings above - I cannot get MMS to send with "WAP 2.0" selected (default setting) under MMS configuration
As soon as I select WAP 1.2 they send straight away
Anyone else noticed this ?

Hmm I'm not 100% sure on this, but I think if you want to use WAP2.0 you have to specify a different port. I seem to remember that when using personal mode instead of corporate it was set up to use WAP2.0 and the port was different to the settings I had previously written down from my old XDAII....I still used the settings from my XDAII cause I know that they worked.
Can anyone (mad enough) running the full personal installation with o2 Active find out what port is used my default when using WAP2.0 for sending MMS Messages?

Port number for WAP 2.0 is 8080

Thanks Lord Buckingham
Does anyone know what the difference is between WAP 1.2 and 2.0? Is 2.0 faster? better? more secure?

But even with port 8080 selected I still can't send MMS with wap 2.0 selected - yet with 1.2 I can send them via port 9201 or 8080 ! the port number was the first thing I changed when I had problems , from the default 8080 to 9201 (which seemed to be the obvious choice ) so it seems that wap 2.0 just doesn't work for me
very strange ! I'd be interested to know if anyone is using 2.0 successfully (just out of curiousity)

I sent one near the start, but had to reduce the pic size below 100K or something, if I recall....
Anyone confirm what the limits are on O2?

I still cannot get it to send using any of the above settings or the original ones that o2 active install. If I use the o2 3g contract sim that came with it then it sends with NO PROBLEM whatsoever, BUT I don't use my contract sim ever, I use a o2 online sim which I have used for years.
Any ideas?
Is the settings different for PAYG and for CONTRACT ?
If so then I need the settings for PAYG please guys, can you help?

if you are using an old "on line" SIM I suspect that it might be one of the old Genie internet SIMs, so the settings may be different. Try setting the device up as pay and go, so change the APN to "payandgo.o2.co.uk" , username "payandgo", password "password", all the other settings should be the same. If this fails, climb into a large bottle of red wine, sometimes its the only way :wink:

Hey, i couldnt get it to download a message and the fix above worked.
Im assuming that as it connected to the 3g network that it charged me for d/ling the message yeah?
can it to be set to do it when its synced with the computer or in a wifi area?
Cheers

GPRS PROBLEM HELP - CHINA MOBILE - QTEK 9100

apparently the device connect to GPRS but when I try to surf it say : THE PAGE CANNOT BE FOUND CHECK THE NAME AND TRY AGAIN;
but in fact the GPRS is connected (I can see the icon in the top)
I used the same SIM card on my OLd NOKIA and it works
I really dunno anymore how to solve it

Maybe some mistakes in the configuration....where I should add the port?

AP= CMWAP
IP 10.0.0.172 : 9201

Looks like WAP settings... Try to find GPRS settings, usually they are different.

Settings-Connections-Add a new modem connection:
My Connection - (Enter name)
Cellular Line (GPRS)
Next - Access point name (ask your operator, i think not CMWAP)
Next - User name & Password (ask your operator)
Advanced (ask your operator)
Finish
Soft Reset

Your setting is for WAP and MMS, not GPRS.
Go to 'Setting', 'Connection', 'Connections', Add a new modem connection, Select a modem 'Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G), APN: cmnet, then leave all other fills blank.

access point: cmnet
home page:none

now it says cannot connect to CMNET
by the wat thanx for ur help

Some mistakes in the previous messages.
As a reminder, you can do WAP over GSM or over GPRS as well.
And you can do web surfing or other applications like Skype for instance or other protocols like FTP over GSM or GPRS as well also.
So, to sum-up CMWAP and CMNET are two different APN in order to acces to CMCC GPRS.
CMWAP is used for WAP browsing, but it works also for web! I use it on my Alpine since many months. It seems that you're charged per minute.
CMNET is used for Skype, FTP and other stuff like that. Charged by volume.
I don't know the cost even if I use it now since more than one year :lol:
Parameters:
APN: cmwap
In "Proxy Settings", check "This network connects to the Internet"and also "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet". Then fill the field name "Proxy server" with: 10.0.0.172
Then click on "Advanced..." button
In front of HTTP, the port should be 80
In front of WAP, the port should be 9201
In front of Secured WAP, the port should be 9203
In front of Socks, the port should be 1080
APN: cmnet
Click on "Advanced..." button and go to "Servers", then select "Use specific server address" and fill it as following:
DNS: 211.136.20.203
Alt DNS: 211.136.20.203
and don't care about the homepage, you can put what you want and not only Wap.monternet.com
MMS Settings:
Gateway: 10.0.0.172
Port number: 9201
Server address: http://mmsc.monternet.com
I can warrant you that all is working perfectly with these settings all over China since my arrival here (November 2004).
By the way, if you have any information about the billing on each APN, I'm interested in!
Hope it helps!

CMWAP is 20RMB for Month!!!!!!
but by using it I can't connect to MSN...can you?
CMNET...I will try now and I will let you knoe the costs

no way to connect to CM NET....I will call the Customer support and I will let you know

Really strange that you cannot connect to CMNET with these parameters...
And I'm not sure that CMCC Customer Support can do something for you as your terminal will be "Unknown" in their list... after they're definitely lost :?
Where are you living? At Shanghai the both APN works perfectly, and on all the other provinces I've visited CMWAP is working well (I never used CMNET outside Shanghai).
As I said on the previous post, it's normal that you can't use such kind of application like MSN with CMWAP APN!
About the cost of 20RMB for connecting CMWAP you surprise me coz I only have a prepaid GSM subscription... So it should mean that if I connect one time in a month I will be charge 20RMB and if I connect during many days I will be charge the same price...
I will try to have a look to CMCC wesite with my chinese teacher next time :wink:

Sure, in many Chinese cities, the CMCC began their service of 20 RMB per month for CNWAP since 2005.
but for me, I use CMNET and CMWAP both, GPRS is specially for my MSN and mail-box. but be careful, the price of GPRS is 0.03 RMB per KB!
but in Shanghai, I don't think the CMCC will give you the price of 20 RMB per month, for as everybody knows, Shanghai is an expensive city, and your Shanghaier are richamen...
Damn the CMCC!

You can surely get the CMWAP package for 20RMB in Shanghai. And CMNET got package as well, which is pretty exp..... :evil:

OK, you can get these kind of package for CMWAP as well as for CMWEB APN.
But it's not mandatory.
Since one year, I'm only using prepaid for these 2 APN.
I'm going to check if these packages are more interesting, but I doubt...

That really depends on ur usage. You can turn on the service of gprs with choice to be charged by kb or package, no matter prepaid or contract as long as u pay the money.
I did hear that someone surfs the internet by using proxy in wap, but i havent comfirmed that by myself. If it works, that really saves a lot. :lol:

Please see my first post on this thread. It's really easy to surf on the web using CMWAP APN. You just have to configure the Proxy server as I said.
Good luck :roll:

You might want to check the connection rules:
start->settings->connections->connections ?

in the settings/GPRS Setting, try to chek if the CHAP authentication is checked.

Cingular 8125 on AT&T

Can someone point me in the right direction I've doen numerous searchs and talked to tech support (useless) . I have a 8125 that I picked up, although I am a AT&T sim card user (our company hasn't upgraded yet) so I unlocked the phone and it works great. although I can not access mmode or anything email or Internet related unless using wifi.
Can someone point me in the right direction for some instructions on how to get this thing set up to work with the legacy AT&T wireless system?

You need to manually enter the AT&T GPRS and MMS settings.
Call up AT&T and ask for the necessary information. They'll give it to you.

PM me you're email address I have the cab file that I can send to you.

Well they don't exist anymore and the guys at Cingular could only get me so far. that's why I'm looking around for it.
Mark, you have a PM, thanks in advance

Cab file didnt work Mark. Only change it made was resetting my today backround to the default. all the settings are still the same.
is there a list of settings or a walk through for setting it up manually somewhere?

It should have worked.
Here is what I have:
MMS Configuration
Retrieve Messages Immediately
Save Sent Messages
Servers
AT-T MMSC
10.250.250.100
9201
http://mymsc.mymmode.com
My Work Network
100k
Wap 1.2
My ISP
AT-T Internet
Cellular Line (GPRS)
Proxy - Proxy Name

AT-T WAP
Proxy - Proxy Name

This network connects to the internet
This network uses a proxy server
WAP 10.250.250.250 9201
Secure WAP 10.250.250.250 9203
Hope this makes sense.

Another option is to go to the Cingular web page and choose Support, Phone/Device Support.
Select the following:
Network: former AT&T Wireless"
Manufacturer: Siemens
Model: SX66
Use the information in Device Setup to configure the browser/internet and MMS settings. It won't match exactly because the SX66 is a 2003 device, but you should be able to figure it out.

Cannot access Gmail through native email app

After setting up access to my Gmail account through the native email tool, when I do a send/receive, I get and error saying:
"Cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings, tap Settings. etc..."
The only time I can do a successful send/receive is when my X1 is connected to my laptop - then I get all my emails. I have already appplied Windows Mobile 6.1 Hot Fix for Sending POP and IMAP E-mail.
I suspect some settings might be wrong - everything else is working fine. Am even getting 3G in SoCal using AT&T on MediatNet. My settings are as follows:
Access point name: wap.cingular
Domain: <blank>
Proxy Setting
Proxy Server: wireless.cingular.com
HTTP: wireless.cingular.com:80
WAP: <blank>
Secure WAP: <blank>
Socks: localhost:1080
Could anyone help? Thanks in advance.

almost certainly its because you are using a WAP connection.
I've never been able to use POP or SMTP on any phone through a WAP connection.
Try using the APN for cingular full internet
a quick google comes up with:-
APN: isp.cingular
User: [email protected]
Pass: CINGULAR1
but don't quote me, and you may need to check with cingular whether they need to change something their end to enable you to use that APN

Im pretty new to email on my phone but i had the same problem i.e. if i was on wireless i could get mail but if i connected via gprs i would get the same error, can not connect etc, i had to set up and new account with the same details as the account which would send and recieve via wirless and tell it to connect via t-mobile internet as there wasnt an auto option, so i now have two accounts for the same email one accesses via the internet and one via t-mobile internet, you can change this if you edit account setup.
Not sure if this is your problem or if i have read it wrong.
Hope this helps

Hi Masseur,
Thanks for the pointer. I did try but looks like it made no difference. Not sure what's wrong from my settings.
Anyone else has seen this? Would appreciate any help. Thanks.

Folks,
Someone in another forum pointed me to the solution. As it turn out, gmail doesn't work off proxys with AT&T. The automatic setup for AT&T had the proxy checked. All was needed is to take out the proxy and just keep the http settings. Working now!
