Orange Software application lock stops you downloading files

HELLO!!!
For those of you that cannot get that fax prog to work - or indeed any application, please note that Orange have confirmed that they ship the 'XDA II' (SPV-M1000) with an application lock.
You need to go to:
WWW.developers.orange.co.uk
to register the fact that you want to run non-Orange software.
QUESTION: Orange have said phone is not MMS. I cannot text pictures - only e-mail them. Is this the same with O2 ? This phone is on trial & I may go with O2 instead.
Dave.
PS. can you buy an SDIO to usb cable?

my qtek2020 comes with mms composer
then i got the mms settings from my phone company
and typed them in
my qtek2020 came with a today mms inbox so it dont use the normal inbox like sms but it's ok by me

Orange confirmed
Orange have confirmed that MMS will not work until the end of the year.
That website link i Quoted is a nightmare. They wanted all my company details & are now considering whether it is in their interest to give me the software application unlock code.
I am taking this thing back to Orange, then off to O2 to buy one from them!

The M1000 isnt application locked, guess whoever you spoke to got confused the SPV, E100 and E200 Smartphones ship locked but the M1000 does not, what error are you getting when you try and install the s/w?

Any application
Funnily enough, I have just got off the phone from tech support. They once again said that my SPV-M1000 is application locked.
I really am pulling my hair out as Orange have still yet to send the code.
As for apps. Every one downloaded does not work. Even the links you guys quote do not work - same applies for stuff via the xda site. the most important one to me at the moment would be:
http://www.ksesoftware.com/index.php?show=downloads
Just tried this link from the forum:
http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/pocketrar.shtml
I always get the following error message:
" <prog name> is not a valid Pocket PC application"
All I want to do is watch the .MOV Harry Potter trailer.

well many pocketpc applications if downloaded as exe file are not windows CE files but activsync installation files
install packs which are to run on a pocketpc are most of the time cab files and
CE installs as exe are activesync installtions which must be run on the pc with the xda connected

I've just installed Pocket RAR no problem, you need to be running the .exe from your desktop it then gets delivered to the M1000 via Active Sync.
Dont know who you are speaking to at Orange are them seem to be confused.

I just installed MS PocketStreets on mine and it works like a charm. Guess the Dutch M1000's aren't application locked?

im on orange, got the phone as a i-mate and runing the t-mobile rom, it has a mms composer made by ArcSoft and after a bit of a play now have fuly working mms on orange using the phone, why orange have not included a mms composer in the rom i dont know. :?

Eddweb,
Mine is straight out of the box, no changes/or hacks done and does have the MMS composer in the ROM.
Would this mean that the Orange M1000's are configured differently per country?
Edit: Whoops, just noticed yours is not an original M1000. But I guess the question still stands.

if you want mms working it may be worth finding the mms setings for orange (useing another phone - i used a spv e100) and transdering them over to the right places
for uk:
in the mms composer:
server name: Orange MMS
gateway: 192.168.224.10
server address: http://mms.orange.co.uk/
(yes the last slash is needed!)
under network:
the 2nd network (progs that conect to privert network)
Orange MMS
setings for above conection
name: Orange MMS
modem: Cellular Line (GPRS)
Access point name: orangemms
username password and domain leave blank
good luck, took me a while to get it working but got there in the end, orange may say its not working but there are ways of geting it working - i think thay say that as not as easy to set up on this phone

New user to the M1000

I've just recently upgraded from the E200 to the SPV M1000. I'm fairly new to all the functions as I just used the E200 just as a phone.
Am I doing something wrong as I can't seem to recieve MMS any more, or set seperate ring tones to particular contacts.
Also I've noticed there is a ROM updade to 1.72, what benifits would this give me, and where can I get hold of it...
Thanks, in advance

seperate ringtones require a 3th party program
mms require that it's setup in mms composer and under connections

I am in the same position, I have just upgraded to an M1000 to find no MMS, the problem it seems is not setting up the MMS connection, it is that there is no version of MMS Composer installed on the phone. Does anybody know where I can get this software? I understand EzWAP might solve the problem but it has mixed reviews and some people say MMS doesn't work on the M1000 with it.
I think the software that is used by other networks is made by Arcsoft, but I can't find anywhere to download the software from,
Cheers in advance of any help

I'm surpised to hear Orange don't supply an MMS Composer? I use an XDAII on Orange and the MMS Compose O2 supplied works fine when configured for Orange. You can happily use the MMS Composer .cab file found here. Just copy to the m1000 and double click to install.
If you feel up to it you can unhide and unprotect the extended ROM, copy the cab file there and edit the config.txt file, then re-protect the extended ROM. That way if you hard reset, the MMS Composer .cab will automatically be re-installed. More details on doing this (it's relatively straightforward) can be found here.

Thanks for the link, it has installed fine on my phone. Do you know where to get the Orange settings for MMS? I was told I need to set up a new connection then configure the Composer, but I rang Orange and the best they could do was send a SIM update which did nothing at all!!
Cheers,
Fin

Yes, forgot that part! See here, the guide is for XDAII users but if you read through it you'll find the relevant sections for configuring MMS which apply to the Orange network regardless of whether you use an m1000, XDAII etc.

Dont know if yo will see this message seeing as it was last week but on the orange website there is now a rom upgrade which gives you a mms composer i have just downloaded it and it works fine....takes a while to upgrade though :lol: :lol:

Thanks, I meant to put something on this thread about the new ROM update, downloaded it the other day and it is great! Orange are bizarre though, I emailed them about a new ROM only a few days before and got a reply saying that MMS was not going to be supported at all on the M1000, so I was a bit shocked to see the update only two days after!

New Rom update
Thanks, I spoke with Orange yesterday about the MMS and they told me there is a new ROM update. I've downloaded it and applied. However when I restored all the data via xBackup the menu and application had gone. I tried this twice from the hard reset and the same applied, so I just rebuilt it manually.

O2 MMS On Hermes TyTn - Small Images

I have an O2 pay monthly contract in the UK. I have an unlocked Hermes TyTn that was originally a Vodafone 1605. I have since upgraded the ROM to be the latest HTC WWE English version.
The problem I have both before and after the ROM upgrade is that I can received MMS messages but the image always arrives as 160x120 (pretty much thumbnail size) size image regardless of the original sending size.
I have checked settings many times but have read that the problem could be that Iam using O2 servers but they do not have my device in their database of supported handsets so when sending on the MMS message they resize the image to the smallest size to ensure that it can be viewed.
Could this be true and if so how would I get around this? I have been searching for an O2 XDA Trion (English) ROM which I assume would help but cannot find one.
Any suggestions much appreciated. Thanks.

Unlocked Orange SPV M600 & receiving tiny MMS messages

Ok here goes: I have unlocked an Orange SPV M600 (Prophet) and use it on the UK o2 network. It has original AKU2.0 as it is still under warranty by HTC.
Everything works fine except the MMS pictures are tiny thumbnails. If I set not to download automatically then I see the message (on the server?) at full size, it is only when I click download that it is shrunk, e.g. last night a picture was showing as 16k and when I hit download it arrived and was 3k - so too small to be of any value.
I have checked settings, including installing the o2 settings cab on the wiki (Lordsmiff...). This sets up mobileweb, and put some strange settings for MMS, not the o2 setting listed for manual input. The wiki o2 cab installs amongst other things the wrong server address (vpix or something similar!) . These setting do not work at all (I've tried). When I manually enter the settings (correct server etc) it works, but MMS are shrunk to 3k all the time.
I've tweaked the registry as per the wiki entry for prophet, but this really relates to send size and means I can set to 250k (previously unable to select this option), and tried all the settings like Original size, QVGA, etc. Still no luck.
I've also found a thread on here reporting similar problems in the USA with Cingular, and a cab to fix problem. I installed and then manually entered o2 setting, but again no luck.
One thing I'm puzzled about is when putting in MMS settings I have to say which service to use to download - the gudiance on here says select "O2 MMS" - but this is never on the drop down list. I have to select either O2 active or mobile web, or something else on the list and regardless they all exhibit the same behaviour - a 3k MMS picture!
I'm tearing my hair out, and if I don't get help soon will have none left!
Can anybody point me in the direction (or send) of a cab with the correct o2 MMS settings as the one on the wiki is corrupt (I've used the cab and the exe through activesync).
Other ideas and registry tweaks welcome. Or just sympathy from others with the same problem....
PS I emailed o2 and they said go to o2 shop, so I did and they said "ring customer support".

Update: put the spanish vodafone settings on a different wm phone last night and it too has the vpix settings in MMS. Is this just a setting that users are expected to manually input?
Come on, somebody must know the answer....?

Registry Settings?

OK so i am new to Android, my previous phone was a Windows Mobile HTC SPV m3100, cracking phone until i killed it
I am now setting up my new HTC Magic, for my carrier, but I am getting the same problem with my HTC Magic as i did with the m3100 regarding MMS images, the problem is the handset is not recognized with my carrier (UK based - O2)
So when i send a mms from another handset to my phone, because its unrecognized with o2, they send me the smallest image possible.
With my old m3100, i was using a cooked ROM (which caused ident at o2 to fail), i had to alter the user agent in the registry settings to fool o2 into thinking my phone was a different (supported) handset which gave me decent size mms.
I would alter the UA like this (after i downloaded a registry editor for WM)
HKLM\Software\Arcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\mm1\WspHeader\x-wap-Profile
Can i do the same with Andriod?
Thanks in advance

anyone? Its quite annoying having tiny MMS images.

This is not windows, there is no such thing as a registry.

Errrmm yes i do know that!!!
What i am asking is if the user agent can be changed, and if there is something similar to registry in Android.
Next time Cheesebaron, why bother replying if you only going to make stupid lame comments?

Try this. It seems that this might help you.
Next time maybe use the search function...
