sending pics on o2

i cant receive pics or send them to any one, im on o2 contract, any help? before i ring o2.?

Have you been able to send and receive pics before? Or have you had this prob since owning the device?
If the latter, I believe you have to first send a MMS (on o2) before your number is configured to receive them. You need the following settings:
servername: O2UK
gateway: 193.113.200.195
port number: 9201
server address: http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002
find it in: messaging > MMS > Menu > MMS Configuration > "Servers" tab.
You should see "O2UK" listed, if not click new and create an "O2UK" account using settings above. If you do have O2UK listed then tap on it and check the details as above.

hi im using a new sim card with my exec so could it need activating?
i can get on the net ok, when some one sends me a pic it comes as a normal text and says log on to o2 to view your pic.

I think o2 are a bit like vodafone on this one. Until you've sent an MMS, they don't know you're phone is capable of MMS, hence you get links to your pics on their website.
Obviously you say you are having problems sending, so check your settings for MMS as posted above (you can also try port number "8080"). If they are correct, it might be worth giving o2 a ring, but in the meantime, if you have another MMS mobile, pop the sim in there and try to send an MMS. Once you've successfully sent one, the ones you receive should come through as intended.

Have you installed the corporate install rather than the personal/basic option?
I had the corporate settings and couldn't send or receive mms. When I rang O2 we went through all the possible settings before trying a hard reset and a personal install. After that mms worked fine. Unfortunately the engineer couldn't tell me which extra software was installed, which enabled mms.

Ah yes, forgot about that option. If you don't have any MMS folders under messaging it's likely you've set a corporate install (or has been preset for you).
If you have no MMS folders then you need to install another part of the rom.
First get Total Commander (good file explorer lets you access device rom files) from here:
http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm
you need the "tcmdpocketarm" download. Download, connect your xda to the pc then run & install.
Run Total Commander on your xda. In the top line of the progam where you see a "\", delete it all and type "\extended_rom\"
A list of rom files will appear.
Select one like "CAB_Shortcut_O2..." and select open, or run.
This will install the MMS folders and the nicer O2 phone dialler screen (and a couple of other bits, but still not *all* the o2 cr*p). Follow all prompts, then soft reset.
Under messaging you should now find an MMS folder along with "Text Messages" and "Outlook Email".
This helped me get back the MMS folders and settings, after which all was ok.

ok after talking to o2 3 times i get some one else on the phone and he said the mms had been removed from my sim card so he has set it up again, if some one now sends me a mms msg it comes in to my mms inbox and says downloading but after a bit it says my msg could not be received, same if i try to send a pic it says sending but after 3 times it says your msg could not be sent and puts it in my outbox.
the settings in the mms configuration/servers are the same as wot has been posted on ere.
wot box's should i tick in the preferances ?

I am having the same problem. I am in corporate mode setting but do have MMS in my Outlook section. The configuration is as stated above but it fails to download after 3 attempts.
Anyone have any other ideas?

enigma_uk even though the guy who asked the question, his query had nothing to do with your reply, MAN I THANK YOU THOUGH!!! i needed that info!!! lol
cheeers mate!

After TouchIT 2.3, MMS will not work

I've been trying to get my MMS settings to work, and the T-Mobile settings configurator is no help, as it seems like the input fields t-mobiles asking for dont match what my wing says. can anyone help me get my mms settings back to normal?

Under your mms settings do you have xxx.xxx.xxx.050 or .50? I don't remember the first strings of numbers but 050 won't work...

Did you run the Network Wizard? (Under settings/Connections.)

Check this out, pretty sure this is what you are looking for.

ok now i can receive mms without a problem, but they wont send. any feedback?

i have the same problem..they wont send at all i get the icon but it stays in outbox with no error message

Did you do what I told you?

when i get my mms i dont get a notification that i have a new message but i do get the mms is downloading icon. I changed the settings and the sound to let me know but it still didnt work but at least i cna still send and recieve them

Ok i set it up correct, and sometimes i get pictures sometimes i dont. the reason for this is that the settings keep changing themselves from what i set as the default mms profile (T-MO MMS) to T-Mobile Data, and when that happens i wont be able to receive mms until i switch it back. i still havent been able to send them though-What gives?

I am having the same problem, I run the network wizard and then a little while later, it seems to switch back and I have to run it again. I can't get my data connection to stay on all the time either.

Mms help needed please

Hiya
Ok so ive had my x1 a couple of weeks now and love it to bits, however im really struggling with mms and wondered if anyone else has the same problem or if theres a tweak for it
Im on three network in the UK, and have got all the right settings on it .. I can send sms, and can connect to the internet via my network, but when I try to send an mms it will let me compose it but wont send. It just sits in my outbox looking pretty but refuses to go!
Any help would be greatly appreciated .. thanks
Mella

Go into you sms\mms folder (where your sms's are)
Go Menu. MMS Options
Goto the Servers tab and check that it is using the correct mms server

You have to create a new connection for mms, and set it to default for mms so it changes connection when sending mms messeges

Hiya
Yeh I have the three mms settings and they are set as default, but it still wont go .. any more ideas guys?

Check the following, but change telstra to three:
Go to Start, Settings, Connections, then Connections again.
Go to the Advanced tab
Choose Select Network
Change the second drop down box to Telstra MMS
Make sure you soft reset after making these changes
If you are still stuck give the x1 support hotline a call. They have fixed a few problems for me.

Most operators have a service that sends you the mms settings through a text message. The phone can then automatically pick that up and config it.
Some operators don't support the X1 yet though.

Hi buzz, thanks for getting back to me again!
It doesnt give me that option in that box unfortunately .. I debranded my phone using the uk rom
I dont get how it will let me browse the internet using three internet settings yet not send an mms through them, and ive checked my mms settings so many times. Aggghhhrrr its driving me crazy!
Ooooh wheres the help line number? I think thats going to be my next option ..

Yes unfortunately three dont support this phone so will not send me the settings, but ive found the settings online aswell as checking through my previous phone so im 99% sure im doing it right

Ok, you need to make a new connection in that menu for the second drop down box.
The first drop down box should say Three Internet (or similar).
Click the "new" button below the second drop down box and use these settings:
3 MMS settings
Access Point Name: mms.three.co.uk
Username: blank
Password: blank
Gateway IP (proxy) address: 217.171.129.2
MMS Message (Relay) Server URL: http://mms.um.three.co.uk:10021/mmsc
Then go into your SMS/MMS inbox and check that 3 MMS is your default mms server.
Last of all... soft reset and you should be right.

Woohoo it worked it sent it!
My last phone wasnt half as technical as this so its taking me a while to learn the ins and outs, but im determined to perservere as I love it so much.
Buzz your an angel .. Thank you so much for your help

No worries.
Make sure you keep these settings somewhere (especially if you are flashing new roms).
It took me a while to get my mms settings working (no thanks to telstra), but I'm always happy to help.

Flashing ROM has caused me to not be able to connect to email

Hi,
I've recently flashed from the Compact V rom to the latest stock rom.
I've managed to re set up the data connection and am able to connect to the internet through T-Mobile, however, I cannot connect to my yahoo account any more. I just get a message "Error Synchronizing".
I've tried resetting the settings and recreating the account to no avail.
You can send the settings to your phone on the T-Mobile site via SMS, however, the messages are not being received to my phone, the first one comes through saying "You will receive another message shortly, enter 1234 as the PIN" but the 2nd message never comes through.
Has anyone else has the same issue?
Thanks

i had or have the same problem. you need a .cab called tmobileukfixed or t-mobileuk it sends you the t-mobile settings so u can use the mms as well. ps if you getting low signal ie gprs then that has been my problem before and i think it rom specific although im not an expert.

I find unchecking the 'uses a proxy' in the connection settings allows me access to more, like Live services etc
T-Mobile also

WasStoNed thanks, this resolved the issue.

Thanks for the file!! Did this solve the problem with some text messages not being sent aswell? I seem to be OK to send to some numbers, but not others.
Dont know if its network related or not.

The 2 issues with sending messages and error sync are not related, the error sync is caused by the proxy settings box becoming ticked and the 149.xx.xx.xx ip becoming active this is tmobile public address transaltion server, just un check the proxy box in settings if the problem occurs!!
