Hi Folks,
Just upgraded from an O2 XdA IIs to an iMate JasJar.. Niiiice piece of kit I did the upgrade so I could connect to 3, as they were the only provider that I could find that would let me do a data bundle on my mobile plan (I'm out of the office a lot of the time, so like to get my email via gprs). Anyhoo, everything's working great, except I can't seem to get the right settings for MMS.
So I'm hoping someone here has a universal on 3 here in .au and has MMS working, and can tell me what config they're using..
Thanks,
Damien
G'day Rendrag,
I have seen alot of people having problems with getting 3 MMS to work on their non sold 3 phones, have you checked out the settings here that some people have posted? http://www.aussie3g.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=14311&highlight=3services
I will soon to be investigating this once my m5000 arrives. Apparently everything else works fine on the 3 network.
Cheers

Hi Ahrjay,
Those are the settings I'm using, but sending MMS's just doesn't work.. I've seen plenty of people on aussie3g.com saying they can't get MMS working but there's been no posts about it since february, so I thought I'd post over here incase someone knew
Regards,
Damien
I thought i made a post in here last nite about my problems too, but i dunno what happened, sufficed to say, i like to consider that i have fairly good know how, when it comes to this sort of stuff, and i can't work out, how to send an mms for the life of me...
and i've tried, everything i can think of... i just can get it to work, i hope someone out there can help us out..
FWIW I have been trying for months as well.
I even tried ringing the help number, but the're useless. They ask what phone you have and when its not one of the "three" phones they have no idea what to do.
Perhaps bumping this up to the front page might help.

Anyone have any success yet????
Not me.. I even went to the trouble of making a bit of a scene at the hutchinson stand at CeBIT the other month over their MMS not working and them not giving a stuff, but the tech guys all ran for cover, and left the sales guys going 'ummm'.

Grr... what the hell is going on?
Surely the phone, is capable of doing it all and then some...
So I have to ask, where is the problem lying? Is it in some sort of I.D. being rejected? Connection settings? Or some sort of software malfunction?
To my understanding, Vodaphone have recently started selling these phones, so i would guess, that they're service is compatiable in every way with the jasjar????

Hmm, might be worth a trip down to the local vodaphone store and have a look at what settings they use, and see if they're anything like what we're trying to use on three?

Hmm... well the settings would be different, as they will all be different server...
I think, it's an I.D. thing personally. I think the JasJar is sending some infomation and 3 is just rejecting the whole mms. But i could be way off, i don't know.
What i'm really curious about, is how vodaphone would support their content service, as i can't think of any way to play RTSP streams on a WM5 device. Which is pretty much how all the content on 3 is streamed, making it in-accessible for all of us with Universal's, and all future WM5 devices....
I think this is a universal 3 network issue for the Universal :shock:
I think it would be good if we discuss this all in one universal "3" thread .....I think this thread is a good one to discuss it in because there are people from other countries on the 3 network also trying to sort out similar issues and there know how is also very helpful.

I've been trying since MAR and no avail. I can "send" MMS to myself and it'll come (so I get the subject header) but when I try to download the actual content it gives some stupid error (the same happens when ppl MMS me - get the header but no content)
Three network
Hi all,
Everyone around the world seem to be having the same issues with the Three network.
I think it might be a good idea if with consolidate all the Three network discussion to one thread. Then maybe if we combine efforts we will find the solutions.
This is the thread I think would be good to move all the discussion to as it already has some good stuff in there
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=51646
I hope you think its a good idea too....and we see you in there.
Hey, Hi, I'm new here and I just bought the HTC P3600. I'm wondering what's up with it because I am receiving some SMS way after they are sent, example, I receive a sms at 4pm and the message shows time of reception is 3:30pm... things like that. It can be delayed like 30 minutes or just 2, I don't know if its the Smartphone or anything else.
Anyway, I'll upgraded to Windows Mobile 6, and sometimes it gets really slow, what could be the reason?
Thank you for your time.

It could be many things. I have a P3600 and have not met the problem you described. Are you in a well covered signal area? Because if signal is bad, service center may be trying to deliver the message to you and if it can't, tries a bit later.
As for WM6, it depends on the programs you are using and of the memory you have left (check settings, system, memory and look for running programs and free RAM).
Cheers!
Yeah, I have good reception.... Yeah I'll check that, thanks.
could that be an operator issue? did you try sims from other operators?
Yes it could be... no I haven't.. I'll give it a try...
me the same ploblem
Hi pacman 15 ,
I have exact the same problem .
there just arrived a sms from yesterday, when I open my text messages.
The sms sometimes only comes in when I open Text Messages sometimes directly .
I think the program is the problem and and not the provider.
If anyone has the same problem or solution pls .
Perhaps its the Radio version? 1.38.00.11
The ROM for me is 1.23.405.2
I didn't put wm6 on it yet , to scared to screw up.
there been issues with some operators being lazy when it comes to passing on sms's to other operators
though i only heard about it some years agoe here so i asume
somebody threw the book at them to make them get their act together
that's exactly my problem I don't know what to do to fix it... so from time to time I enter the messages to see if I receive one... :s
Same problem here. Have you found a solution?
its definitely the telephone networks and not your phone. especially during holidays when they get flooded with sms.
Same problem here but I really think it has to do with the phone/rom.
Never seen this problem when using Nokia phones for 5 years.

Think so. My phone doesn't ring when i receive an sms but it starts to when i go into sms page...
Should i try to flash a new rom and radio? have original htc rom (wm 5) and 1.38.00.11 radio
I don't think that will help since I've seen this with several different WM6-roms.
That's the problem: some sms arrive just when i go into sms page.So I receive 2 o 3 messages in one time...
But this does't happen every time, so i can't bring it back to shop.
I bought a new phone to use it with tom tom, internet explorer, etc but now i can't receive sms
I agree, this really sucks.
I'm a volunteer firefighter and recieve the alarms as sms,
not very good if I get the alarms 1 hour too late...

It seems to be a common problem... I wrote to HTC support 3 days ago, still no answer... Anyway i'll post here the answer.
Please write to htc and if anyone has the solution... post here.
Ive got the same thing, as does my gf (who hasnt got windows mobile based phone).
We are both on orange uk
If you post what network you are on, I wonder if they will all be the same...
I'm on Vodafone Italia, but i had no problem with my old phone.
I changed my sim, seems ok now...
Elisa, Finland here.
Trust me, it's not a network issue here.
No solution to this?
Vodafone Portugal, but I think it is a phone problem since I've had this problem since some years ago and only with this device. The same SIM on another phone (for example and HD2) works fine.
Help!
I've got an unlocked G1 bought off eBay in early December. Up until today it's been working without any problems. However at 11am today it dropped off the O2 network and I can't get voice / text. I still have data access though.
Here's what I've tried:
1. My SIM in another phone - fine
2. Other SIMs in my G1 - no network registration except for a TMobile SIM.
3. Soft reset of G1
4. Hard reset of G1.
5. Wipe and reflash using update.zip method off microSD card to UK RC8 - no difference.
I'm desperate here - got multiple important calls pending over the next few days..
If I use "Search Networks" and manually select O2, I get the message "Your sim card does not allow a connection to this network".
"Registering automatically" also fails (but silently).
How can I get my G1 up and running ??
Try getting a new sim card from O2?
Currently using my SIM in another phone without issue (on the same cell tower too).

Nope - it literally dropped off the network after being in use with no problems after a month.
Can connect to o2 data channels, just no voice / text. Connects to voice with T-Mobile SIM only.
I've redone the settings 1/2 a dozen times as part of the whole wipe / re-flash circle of life thing...
Given up now - will test with PAYG TMobile and sell on eBay for parts / working. Can't be dealing with it for now but will return to Android when it's a little maturer and my contract's due.
I'm having the exact same problem. Anyone ever find a solution? I phoned T-Mobile and they told me to type in something involving the PUK code, but I didn't think it'd do anything.
I typed it in, and it's just stuck now. Saying unblocked, now unlocking.
Anyone help?

I've got a pay as you go T Mobile SIM in mine now. Registers with nework ok but won't make / receive phone calls / messages..
Going through the mill with T Mobile support in the hope they've seen this before..
Hey,
I'm from Germany and wanted to complete an O2 contract and use it with my G1.
But before I make the contract I used an O2-prepaid card (O2 loop). Im connected to the next O2 cell and calling works great. (running ADP1 JF 1.31 fw)
The cell-tower are not the same as t-mobile and vodafone and the active O2-cell is changing very often.
I hope O2 contract will work, because it's the cheapest kind of data plan.

i had the same problem with my touch hd,also brought from ebay as it was unlocked.used it and worked well for 3 weeks then wouldnt make calls but would connect to the internet.after weeks of trying i found out from my network provider that the phone is blocked ie reported stolen.so the person who sold it me had done an insurance scam.he diidnt get away with it though as i reported him to ebay and the police.and i got a new 1 from my insurance.so im happy now.you should ask your network to check the imei against thier database to see if your phone has been reported as stolen

Looks like you were spot on mate.
Just done a CheckMend report indicating that the IMEI has been blocked on "one or more UK networks".
I've pulled my auction (of course) as I'm an honest seller.
Will have to do some digging as to why - tense email to original seller tonight I think, then maybe the police etc in the morning.

Blocked by T-Mobile at someone else's request.
Paypal - no resolution as > 45 days (nicely timed by seller it seems)
Time for the police *sigh*
Wow! Turns out my phone was blacklisted too! Thanks SOO much! I never would have thought to check to see if it had been reported stolen.
Need to chase up eBay seller now though. Fun.
Well - after hammering away at this for nearly 3 days...
I have a crime reference number!
Which means that PayPal / eBay / T Mobile will need to investigate.
Friendly advice to any others in this situation - I was told initially by the desk officer at my local police station that this was "a civil matter". Thankfully I ignored that and spoke to the local headquarters - they've confirmed that it's a criminal matter and they will be investigating further. So stick to your guns ;-)
Fingers crossed, and good luck to anyone else out there in the same situation.
Apologies for the bump
I apologize for bumping the thread after all this time, but i've had this happen to my G1 just today. After months of flawless use my unlocked G1 suddenly decided to not like any SIMs but a T-Mobile one. Annoyingly IMEI checks show that it's not blacklisted, using both CheckMEND and calling O2 direct and asking them if they have a blacklist flag on it, which they didn't.
I'm wondering if CodeMonkey, or anyone else, managed to get anywhere with a claim or a reason or solution to any of it?
Also, i'm curious as to whether or not we have the same Ebay seller, just to ease paranoia of a scam of some kind going on.
Cheers

This is still with the police *sigh*. Currently chasing down the T-mobile account holder who blocked it originally and the seller. Given up much hope of getting my money back but hoping to take the £350 I'm down by out of the guilty party's hide through the criminal justice system. As far as I can determine, this is either insurance fraud (account holder sells phone for cash, reports as lost and claims off TMobile insurance) or theft & selling stolen goods.. I personally think it's an attempt at insurance fraud by some dimwit as the phone came in it's original packaging with accessories still sealed.
I won't post the seller's name on a public forum in case they're an innocent party, however PM me the details of yours and I'll respond. If it is the same seller I'll update the police appropriately so they can widen the investigation and get in touch with you (if you want to go down that path)..
**EDIT**
Update - compared sellers and they're not the same: watch out if buying on eBay peeps.
I am glad that I found this threat, to learn I am not crazy. Bought a German G1 via ebay, and the first day (wih original FW) everything was fine. At least i think so as I didn't use it much. Then I upgraded manually to latest German RC9 version. While the phone showed to be connected to o2 and internet was working fine, I noticed only one day later that I was not able to make outbound calls or send SMS. Also other o2 customer got error tone (no real message why not reachable) when calling me, SMS didn't arrive. However the most weird thing was that it was possible to call my mobile phone from my fix/land line! Again, for other mobile phones I was not reachable, but land line worked?!
While beeing frustraded I did HW reset and the FW update again, but still same problem. Still in the evening of the same day I left my house, sitting on the airport - and suddenly it worked smoothly. Since that, for a week now, everything works fine.
No, I don't undertand this at all. And I think this was in my case also no issue of being blacklisted as it works now, without doing anything. Letäs hope it does not have a fall back.
G1 Swindle
Hey guys
It looks like I have also been swindled by some chump on ebay and my G1 has been blocked. Has anyone any idea if the phone can be wiped and rebooted in a fashion that clears it from any blocking register?
Otherwise I'm stuck with a very expensive paper weight!!
I have had my Rogers HTC dream for a while and it works great, I am unlocked using it on ATT network here in the US. I have no problems except recently I have noticed because some of my friends tell me that they cannot reach me.
My phone is on all the time and I can get calls most of the time however sometimes I do not receive the call, and the thing about this is that the phone doesnt tell me I even missed it.
Basically I have no idea anyone has called me except when my friend would let me know that they called me and I did not answer. they say that the phone rings for a long time and it does not go to voicemail, but I think that is a different issue as I have not set up my voicemail yet...
but the main problem is that I would get a call and I have no idea I even got that call. As the phone doesn't even notify me that I had someone calling me in the first place.
I have tried a few custom roms and changed to different ones in hopes that might resolve the problem. but it has not.
help thanks
AT&T 3G ?
I noticed your thread, and wondered if there were any other issues with using a EU version phone on US carriers ? I'm thinking of buying a EU phone (rogers, i believe) off ebay so I can enjoy the speedierness of 3g.
Is dropped incoming calls the only problem you've expereienced ?
How/where did you buy yours, and have you had any trouble with buying from overseas if you did ?
Thanks !
(sorry, i didn't really help at all)
only problem i experience is the missing calls... I got mine from someone on ebay who was in canada, I believe it is a rogers canada phone... could it be the rom??, I am currently running the HTC ADP 1.6 DRC83 ROM.
I was hoping someone can help me here. I have a problem with my received sms messages being truncated. I phoned Bell and asked them, and they said its the Atrix. However I sent myself a sms, and it was not truncated. I just wanted to know if its Bell or the Atrix; and how I fix it.
Thanks!

The messages are coming in broken up. If its over 160 characters it comes in 1/2 and 2/2 and so on. Now today, they are not even coming in order. I just got some in this order, part 4,3,2,1 and then 5.
I spent 10 minutes on the phone with Motorola Canada, and they confirmed that the phone should not be doing this at all, and its carrier related.
I also spent 30 minutes on the phone with Bell for the second time today, and they tried to blame all the other carriers, saying its the way they break up the messages to send. I had 2 "work" phones that were both with bell, and neither one did this, so I really don't know what its related to. They told me to call back in a week if it does not fix itself.
Plh36 - Did you ever phone for support? Did they ever give you a reason why it does this? I would have stuck with Rogers and just bought the phone from Bell had I known that they can't handle their sms messages properly

I'm on Bell (with an HTC Desire Z, not sure why I'm on this forum) and I get this problem sometimes. I figured it was due to the sending party. Dumbphones and CDMA phones tend to split up messages. Try getting someone also on a GSM network and a smartphone to try and send you a message. I tested it right now with a friend who has an iPhone 3GS on Fido, and I received a non-split message.
This message splitting is normal for Bell - I had this happening with my HTC Touch and Samsung Galaxy S.
Some SMS programs allow you to change how the message is or isn't broken up. Use GO SMS. I'm on Rogers but my friends use GO SMS or other messaging apps and we never have this problem. But I know what you're talking about. It's very annoying.

This. Its because CDMA limit sms to 160 characters so the companies that still employ CDMA as part of their network will limit them. There is nothing you can do, its the network, not the phone.

Hi, this is a problem with your atrix, very many people in Brazil have the same problem, see:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068693&highlight=Brazilian
I recommend you using GO SMS Pro as a replacement of your stock sms, and this would solve ur problem.
P.S. i'm using atrix on koodo
Fuaaaarkkkkk I'm on Bell and this happens to me now too. It's a nuisance!! Happens when people from Rogers send long text messages.
Maybe I'll phone and complain, score something good like a discount or retention rate plan lol
