I've searched and all I could find is how to fix resizing of MMS pictures. But for me I can't send them. It always says unable to send message. I don't know if I can receive them because I haven't had anyone send me one and I can't obviously send one to myself.
You will probably have to hard reset your phone. That happened to me and that is what I had to do.
look in
settings menu all settings connections
and see if you have a connection setup option, which should set up web data and mms data.
or, in the start menu, there may be a tmo branded item, possibly looks like a sim card, which will request settings from your network, , (though it doesnt work on my o2)
Alternatively, have you been messing with the mms server settings? particularly which data connection it uses to send? cos (certainly on the o2 uk one) if you set mms to use the wrong data connection it fails. (One is propper data, teh mms one is wap)

Hi,
Im using Cyanogen's 3.4 ROM with Hero Theme 1.3.5 and can not for the life of me figure out how MMS is supposed to work simultaneously with data/internet.
I have 2 separate access points configured on the phone, one for the internet and one for MMS.
If i create an MMS whilst the internet APN has the green radio button next to it checked it will not send. However if i go into the APN settings in the phone and check the radio button next to MMS i can send and receive it with no problems but can no longer browse the internet over GPRS / 3G
there is no settings in messages to tell the application which APN to use and it appears that in its current state, the phone is not smart enough to swap over temporarily to the correct APN and then swap back, it has to manually be done.
Is anyone else having this problem or is there something i am missing to get the phone using both APN's at the same time?
Thanks in advance.
Try setting the apn type to "mms" for the MMS one. The checkbox will dissapear, sa that might mean you can no longer manually select it, since it will be selected automatically
Ok i tried that and your right, it did remove the check box. but it didn't fix the problem unfortunately. just for good measure i changed my internet APN to have the APN type and that didnt work. so i removed it, left the MMS APN with the APN type of MMS, powercycled and tried again, still didnt work
Got any other ideas? is anyone able to replicate it? Cheers
You could try to use "default" for the Internet apn type, along with "mms" for the mms one. Other than that.. try searching the internet for the settings.
Hi guys, I been browsing the forum for a while - decided to sign up now due to getting hold of my first smart phone.
I've set up my email account (pop3) it worked the first time yesterday, received and sent emails.
Now today, when I receive I get nothing, no messages, and when I send one i get this message:
"cannot connect with current connection settings. the change your connection setting, tap settings."
clicking on settings brings up the t-mobile settings tab etc, but I'm not sure what to change here as I'm pretty new to all this!
and I'm just wondering if I need to change anything - as it worked yesterday but not now even though i haven't changed anything.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
I used to get all kinds of hassle like this with my HTC Advantage. It would work perfectly for a while, then it would not allow access, so I'd have to re-input the SAME settings all over and it would seem to work again (fortunately, it seems to be pretty well behaved nowadays!)
So long as your pop3/send/recieve/SMTP settings are all good [make sure that login names etc are all as your email provider states, usually full email address and password and smtp/outgoing *DOES* require authentication]- sounds like you might want to check on your connection settings (I assume that the internet is not working either? Or MSN messenger?) B4 going into settings you will need to find out EXACTLY what your APN (access point name) address is for your specific carrier (there are typically several ones per carrier - usually one for contract and one for PAYG) and the user name and password.
Then check/update your connection settings. You can go and edit the existing setting - you will need to choose a name for it (there should be a default) and then you may have to 'select a modem' - typically I select 'Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)', as it works best for me [on another device however, I select GPRS only, as there is poor 3G reception here in the office and it causes the connection to find a 3G signal and try to connect to it, to no avail though and thus it drops the connection - but hopefully you wont experience this!]
Next update your: 'APN' and the 'User Name' and 'password' (those 3 things will be supplied by your carrier) and save it. And HOPEFULLY that should do it - it can get a little more complicated than that, but I'm hoping that you dont have to get into setting up work networks/proxy servers etc - I can do that and have some data for it, but I'm not very good at exaplaining it I'm afraid it's something I've learnt on a trial and error basis, as I'm not a techy/network specialist AT ALL
HTH
double post*
thanks for your reply!
as far i know all my email info is fine, but I shall try again after work. only details I might have to get is t mobiles. might have to look on the net. but i'll try what you've suggested.
but the net is working fine! I'm using it now...will give it some trail and error.
thanks, and till later!
In which network are you? And which country?
Hello - I'm on t-mobile in the UK
I'm thinking of doing a total hard reset - now my googlemail isn't working ! and that was yesterday.
Just for good orders sake:
T-Mobile APN Configuration
For both contract and pay-as-you-go T-Mobile customers in UK the following APN settings are used:
Name: TMobile GPRS
GPRS APN address: general.t-mobile.uk
Username : user
Password: wap
- other settings can be left blank.
Apologies if you already know how to do this, but I just checked on the HD2 and you do the following;
GOTO the Settings tab (last one).
Hit MENU (bottom right)
Hit CONNECTIONS icon
Hit CONNECTIONS
Select (if you're accurate enough.... ) 'Manage Existing Connections' and follow the path - you may want to just re-input the above to make sure you know all is well then save it (finish)
Just a thought.
Thanks alot for that blackblade, i can use that as reference, will try again in abit - I've done a phone reset for now.
cheers fella. very helpful.
well guys, I've tried checking and changing those details - still no joy. Not sure what to do with this now to be honest!
Not sure if you've resolved this, but I had the same problem with t-mobile.
You need to deselect "use proxy server to connect to the internet" in the t-mobile internet settings, for some reason this gets selected on set up. Once you've done this you should be away!
Hello,
I searched this forum, but I was unable to find a similar discussion: do you have issues when trying to send an MMS? I'm unable to send, the message that keeps bothering me is: "Cannot connect for an unknown reason. To check your connection settings and change them if needed..." etc. I tried looking at the connection settings, but the MMS ones look ok. Also, all other connections (internet, weather, etc) work ok.
Any idea?
OK, I've done some research and it seems the issue is with the HTC Messaging app that completly replace the WinMo one. For my network operator settings to work, I need to enter the following information: MMS server IP: port AND server address (http://wap.mms.orange.ro:8002).
They instruct me to enter them by selecting Start-Messaging-SMS/MMS Options - but this is obviously WinMo messaging application, which seems inaccesible due to the HTC one!
Any help on this?
HTC messaging - settings - options
menu - mms server.
Found it - thanks. The settings were already configured (probably due to Automatic configuration run when the phone first booted) - so the problem is still here.
Any idea if "Connect via" makes any difference? Now Orange MMS is selected; should I try to select a data profile (i.e. the one used by Opera)?
Yes, it should connect via whatever the standard data profile is.

i cant send and download mms but gprs working perfect
what to do all the setting is ok
To make my MMS work I had to do (and this is translated so might differ a little):
Message tab -> All -> Menu -> Settings -> Settings -> Menu -> MMS-server -> your profile -> then the connection was set to GPRS or WAP, change this to My ISP or My work network.
its not working

What ROM are you using? I do know that some of the more recent ROMs have this particular problem.
MMS not working on Vodafone HD2
I've followed the instructions on the vodafone.co.uk site carefully for MMS server settings but my device simply fails to send OR receive MMS. This is highly annoying for such a new device.
HELP! Someone must have it sorted.
I have exactly the same problem except im an o2 uk user, cant send or recieve mms when using a cooked rom.

And the same for me on VF UK. Can't send or receive MMS. Did you ever get it sorted?
not sure about vf, but for o2, you need two data connections setting up. 1 is wap, for mms, and the other is for actual data. If you set the mms server settings to use the normal data connection, it simply wont work.
Problem is when you go to settings menu all settings connection connection select networks edit, it only shows the currently selected data connection, you cant see that there is another connection setting there. So, you need to change teh top dropdown to the second data connection (o2 active its called for o2, whilst the normal data is called mobile web) and THEN you can see/edit teh settings for that connection.
the mms server settings need to be told to use O2 active and not mobile web, else it wont work.
Just some thoughts.
O2 user - same problem
I've just come back from an O2 shop, where one of the "experts" there failed miserably to get my phone to send or receive an MMS. I share all of the above frustrations.
samsamuel - could you do a step-by-step guide to the set-up you describe? I would like to try this but I am struggling to follow your explanation.

no worries. if you still havent figured it out yourself and i havent replied by, say, monday, feel free to PM me and remind me. (I have the memory of a 90 year old goldfish)
ok, so heres what i did last time i manually set up mms for o2.
settings menu all settings connections connections add new modem
name o2 active (tho of course name doesnt matter)
modem cellular line gprs
AP name wap.o2.co.uk
user o2wap
pass password
domain blank
then, sms tab, all messages, menu settings options menu mms server new
name o2 active MMS (again, name doesnt matter)
ip 193.113.200.195
port 8080
server add h ttp://mmsc.mms.02.co.uk:8080
connect via **choose the name you gave the modem connection in part 1**
if you choose your normal data connection it wont work, it needs to be o2s wap server.
message size 300k
wap ver wap 2.0
soft reset, and it 'should' work.
I recently acquired an HD2 that is locked to T-Mobile. I am using a "Rebel Sim" to allow me to use an O2 sim card, however, I am unable to connect to the internet without Wi-Fi.
I have looked around the next, and even email O2 direct, and nothing they say is helping. I was wondering if anyone out there knows how to fix this problem.
Sorry if this post has already been asked, I searched the first 40 pages in the General Forum, and found similar aspects, nothing that answers correctly.
Thanks for your help

Ok, so i tried the link, and it now works, yay, however i can only update the whether?
I assume that the mobile internet must be working cos it has a counter as well, logging how much time i spend on there, any further ideas?
sorry to be a pain.
What's not working for you then Callum ?
Basically, I have set up the internet, so I am now able to update the whether without Wi-FI, however, I am still not able to use the web-browser without Wi-FI.
go to settings menu all settings connections connections advanced select networks. In there it lets you set the default connection for different types of apps. try the different connections, see what works. You may find it is trying to default to an old connection from when the phone was locked, who knows.
weather - rain, sun, clouds
whether - a choice or doubt between two or more alternatives
