Im not receiving mms messages with my unlocked t-mobile sim? - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

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.

T-Mobile US settings for EZ WAP 2.5

OK, I'm a pretty technical guy and I'm still stumped. I've tried entering the T-Mobile provided info into EZ WAP but am obviously not mapping their connection settings info to the right fields in EZ WAP. AFter a couple of hours of tinkering and several searches here I'm caving in and asking for help.
Can somone post the "play by play" EZ WAP setup for T-Mo US?

what info did they give you?... When i calld, they gave me the run-around...plus I tried to ask them why I can't connect threw "internet2.voicetream.com"... & they sound like they gettin mad @ me, an start askin why I need to know all this...
...TMO needs an attitude adjustment
Unfortunately, I agree that the carrier's data specialists are often little or no help. Every question you ask, it turns out that they either:
a. Don't know
b. Pretend to know and give you the wrong answer
c. Assume you're with the Taliban and are trying to break in to their WAP system to threaten civilization
I got the T-Mo official settings at:
http://www.t-mobile.com/help/services/tz/configother.asp
and they are echoed at:
http://www.theody.com/t-mobile.html
Again, the info on these pages doesn't map directly into the connection settings on the PPC or to the settings in EZ WAP. I tries a few intuitive mappings and failed.

Qman, you indeed are the eggman, you are the walrus, you are the eggman, koo-koo-kachoo. (Is that the xda-developers accepted spelling of koo-koo-kachoo?) :^)
I was pulling my hair out on this and have never found any of these settings you spelled out here or on any T-Mo site. It took a few minutes for you to type all that in and I appreciate it.
I was live on T-Zones about 5 minutes after I saw your reply, working perfectly.
Interesting observation, maybe it's an error on my part... I tried your settings in EZ WAP, but connecting through my usual internet2.xxx and the T-Zones stuff wouldn't come up. Other wap sites in EZ WAP would, like yahoo, but not T-Zones. I created a connection called WAP (like you used in your example) and made the APN wap.xxx and it works fine, AND nPOP pulled my mail through it to.
So I'm curious if these statements are true:
1. You can pull WAP and http/smtp through internet2.voicestream.com, but not necessarily T-Mobile's proprietary T-Zones WAP.
2. You can pull WAP, http/smtp, and T-Zones through wap.voicestream.com
If these are true, then I assume that wap.xxx and internet2.xxx are functionaly the same except that wap.xxx gateway has the t-zones subscriber authentication built into it, rather than on the content server.
Since my GPRS connection is always on, I don't want to have to switch connections between wap and nPOP/web sessions, would prefer to stay with one.
@Mad Max
I'm pretty sure your assumption abut that wap.xxx and internet2.xxx functionally are correct and thats why the wap.voicestream AP is my all around AP of choice (its my main T-Mobile AP).
FYI before upgrading to WM2003 the wap AP was also the only AP that would work with Pocket Hotmail 2.0, which now doen't work at all under WM2003. :evil:
Anyhow have fun!
anyone got the ATTWS Settings for this?
MMS and Tmobile US with XDA II
I finally received my XDA II this afternoon.. I have spent most of my afternoon trying to fix this MMS thing. I have used the base software, added EZWap 2.5... Tried every configuration.. Call the useless bozos on Tmobile but couldnt get this darn MMS thing to work...
Can someone please answer my 2 questions
1) What settings do you need with TMO?
2) What plans do you need with TMO?
19.99 All internet + 2.99 + 4.99 etc
Thanks
my MMS works fine, on 2002.
and though i have the internet from tmobile ($19)
goin about it via the wap.voicestream.com works just as good
for browsing net, and using tzones, and mms ofcourse.
the only drawback i hear, is you cant use secure servers on wap.
although i've checked my INBOX several times via wap, and it worked just fine for me.
check your settings from Qman again.
you maybe one digit off.
good luck.
ps: after you set it, if you want to test the mms, give me a buzz.
Hmm...
It is interesting, in my case the Pocket Internet Explorer works.. MMS doesnt and the EZWAP doesnt work...
It is bizzare... I have checked and rechecked each setup as provided by QMAN twice.. Had another person verify it for me...

If you're sure that the settings are OK, my next suspect would be an account setting issue. Unfortunately, getting help from the carriers in debugging that could be pretty tough.

more on the Xda ii. I am posting this message from the XDA. I still cannot send or receive MMS. I had a friend of mine send me a MMS and he got a error message that my phone cannot receive MMS and that a text message would be sent.
I received a notification about the MMS but couldn't retrieve it.
any suggestions
Finally got it working
Finally got it working... There was a MMS Server setting on the network that was missing and took me 18 calls and 95 minutes on the phone with TMobile to get it right.
I can now receive and send MMS to myself.. Looks like the MMS in TMO US is limited to TMO US customers only. I can only send MMS to other TMO US customers.

What was the MMS server name? I'm in Austin, TX, just got a iMate XDA II and can't get my MMS working either.
Do you have to have a plan for MMS? I have the $20 internet already.
What parameters settings do you need in MMS Composer?
What parameter setting do you need in My ISP connection?
Thanks so much,
Craig

I have the unlimited MMS for 4.99 you will need that to send MMS. My MMS settings are all the same. I also have the unlimited WAP for 2.99 and I use the wap.voicestream.net for MMS...
MMS
I talked with T-Mobile. Since I already had the internet access service, T-Zones is already enabled. They said all I need for MMS is T-Zones. I set the right server, ip, etc. I could never receive a MMS picture message to myself. All that came through was the text portion witha download link to tap. Tapping it just brought another text header message. TMO was no help either. Afterwards, ALL my alerts (weather, sticks) started coming to my MMS but I couldn't read anything. I finally had to call TMO to have them remove my phone # off the wap server for t-zones to stop MMS and resume SMS messaging.
Any thoughts on this chain of events?
mms config telfort
got an xda1 with a custom rom, offcourse is there no autoconfig, i can't find the settings for mms in holland (telfort)
you need to install EzWAP 2.5 or its equivilant.
that will add MMS to xda1
good luck.

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!!

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

Save Sent Messages

AT-T MMSC
10.250.250.100
9201
http://mymsc.mymmode.com

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.

Total noob question, but I need help: Tmobile + MMS + 8525 = =(

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.

T-Mobile USA MMS & XM6r3

I have a T-Mo USA MDA with XM6r3. I am not receiving any MMS messages. If I try a send and receive in the MMS messages inbox I get an error synching. Regardless of whether it is supposed to sync or not, I am not getting any MMS messages.
This is what I have setup;
Gateway - 216.155.165.50
Port - 9201
Server address - http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
Connect via - T-Mobile MMS (other choices are My work, my isp, work, secure wap, the wap, the internet)
Sending Size Limitations - 300K
Wap Version - 2.0 (1.2 also available)
Does this sound right? Anything else I should be doing?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
This is what I use.
Gateway - 216.155.165.50
Port - 8080
Server address - http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
Connect via - The Internet
Sending Size Limitations - 300K
Wap Version - 2.0
Thanks. I have also tried 8080 and a few others without any success. Anything else?

Download network wizard and copy cab file to phone. Delete all current connection settings including MMS settings and then install Network Wizard and run it. Select USA as the country and T-Mobile as your carrier and it will automatically configure it all for you and it will work afterwards. What it does is automatically downloads your settings from the network for a painless setup.
Do you have any internet plan?
had the same problem as you and found out that my internet settings were wrong. Once I put in the correct info, everything was working fine.
I use the 5.99 plan proxy.

You are right about that, but not giving him any information. Network Wizard takes care of everything you just mentioned short of paying for your data plan.
Um... theres no USA option in network wizrd just installed it. A little insight would help.
Thanks to all for the help. Now I can send and receive MMS messages!
