Hi peoples,
on my HD I have two data connections
O2 Active and Mobile Web
I have the unlimited web bolt on and use my phone for surfing, push email etc. Sometimes my phone refuses to send MMS messages, I don't get an error, it just stays in the outbox. I'm wondering if it's a problem with having two data connections or not, but it's a VERY annoying problem
so, does anyone know which connection is used for what and whether to send MMS messages I should disable one connection type?
thanks

I believe there is a thread already about phone not sending MMS messages
Think this is it

yes but it relates to orange, and I'm on O2

Every time I send an MMS, GPRS usage appears on my O2 online bill.
Does anyone else have this?
On my i-mate JAM I've set messenger not to connect automatically. I'm not sure what else could be causing the data transfer on my phone, so I'm wondering if it's at O2's end?
I've emailed them with this query, but they keep anwering with irrelevant replies. :roll:
Thanks in advance!
MMS messages are sent via GPRS. Well at least, mine are and I'm on O2!
As of March/April, O2 are now charging for GPRS useage. Prior to that (one of their operativies told me) they did not have a suitable billing system in place.. now they have. My mate got stung with a large bill back then!!
dood is right they have started charging for gprs usage but your mms is sent via gprs but on a diffrent settings your browser uses mobile web and you get charged for gprs the mms doesnt and you should not be getting charged for it.
check your mms setting and make sure its not set to connect to mobile web to send your mms
you should have these settings
server :02UK
gateway:193.113.200.195
port:9201
server address:http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002
try that

Thanks. It was set to connect via "The Internet" so now I've changed it to O2. I'll see how that goes. 8)
Hi, if both GPRS and WIFI are present which wins? Does WM6 choose the faster connections, ie wifi to surf the web and receive emails?
Are there any settings for this? Many thanks
i'm interested in this too.
I flashed my Hermes with WM6 xesterday, and updated it today with the GPRSSettings via .cab-file.
20minutes ago i recognized the G in my titlebar, an it showed up that WM6 has established a 3G Connection for about 55minutes... does it cost anything if i'm just connected to the 3G network? or do i have to pay for transfered bytes only?
greetings

I think we only pay for what you download? So gprs can be connected for hours but if you only download one email and view one web page you pay for how many mbs you download.
yes, but what if i set up an emailaccount in the messaging-application, set it up to check my server every 15minutes, and haven't got any wifi connection available. Is there a way to limit my phone to wifi when checking for emails, without removing my GPRS settings? (because i need them for MMS i think)
Sorry, i don't know. Hoping someone can answer my first question:
"Hi, if both GPRS and WIFI are present which wins? Does WM6 choose the faster connections, ie wifi to surf the web and receive emails?

now I'm not really sure, and probably you've seen it already, but in case not the first post in the following thread might help
The beauty is that Windows mobile knows it needs to use the "GPRS Internet", only when other connections are not present.

Hi,
My T-Mobile Uk MMS has stoppped working all of a sudden. Have been able to receive MMS messages in the past without a problem but now I suddenly get a message at the bottom of the screen that says " Error Synchronising".
I have used tmobileukfixed to reset my settings with no success.
It's annoying me as it was working. Typically as these things go somone has sent me a couple of mms messages and I haven't received them which is annoying.
Can somone help ?

One thing to check, as I've found this with my Ameo, is that you're not connected to a Wifi Lan. WM doesn't seem to know to use the 3G/GPRS connection to receive MMS, and tries to use the default internet connection which, when active, is the Wifi.
Thanks for the info. I have my wi-fi disabled. I think I have found a solution when i can find the cab that is !
Cheers for looking and replying though

Hi there,
Got my new G1 (BRILLIANT) the only problem is that when i'm using the GPRS network (for power saving) i cant send mms. The problem isnt network related because the sim can send them on 3g using the G1 and on GPRS in my SE w880, a few of my colleagues are having the same problem and were just looking to see if its only us or are other users having the same problems?
Using RC8.
Thanks In Advance
I havent noticed this problem yet, but I could assume its down to the data connection and the "mms data" connection being two different settings.
On my Hermes (WM) I couldnt send a mms without disconnecting my internet connection and allowing the phone to connect to the mms data connection.
WM could be altered to use the data connection to send MMS'. I assume the G1 wants to keep the data connection open all the time (which on 2g/gsm is your one and only connection) and this prevents MMS' being sent.

When I click on send/recieve, the phone always switches to 3G to collect email. Even when WIFI is active. No other application does this, they all are happy to use Wifi (including that weather thing).
In fact if I manually disable 3G, activate Wifi and then try to collect mail, there is an error. Is this HTC 'protecting' their customers from doing a 'send' in case they don't have smtp rights...?? A bit annoying when you have authenticated smtp set up specifically for this situation.
So... anyone know how can I get the phone to simply use WIFI for email send/receive if available and otherwise turn on the 3G? For roaming this is quite important...

Have you got the DNS server set correctly in the WiFi settings? When I'd failed to do this my HD Mini insisted on connecting to 3G all the time. Once I realised and corrected this, I can send and receive email on WiFi with no problems.
I assume you connect to the WiFi router before starting the email send/receive process? Just a thought!

I can update the weather, browse the internet etc - all over Wifi with 3G turned off. But as soon as I do a send/receive, it wants to use the 3G. As far as I can see, the connection settings are correct (else I could do those other things) but its interesting to hear that you are able to send/receive over Wifi.

Yes - thanks for checking! I also have checked that the wifi is active and working (e.g. by browsing to a webpage in Opera) before the send/receive - but it still keeps switching on the 3G when I do this.
I use Gmail on my HD Mini, via POP. I can't think of anything useful to suggest really.
Only:
Is the mail service you are trying to connect to available via WiFi? Is there any chance that the mail service requires use of the 3G modem for authentication purposes? If you were using your mobile network email service, it might only provide this via the 3G service.
Is the POP3 protocol set to only use the 3G (GPRS) modem? I think this might be found under Settings/Menu/All Settings/Connections/Manage Existing Connections.
Good luck!
i've got the same problem. i can't send/receive email's with wifi.

Very strange... What exactly is the problem?
