MMS Problem Solved - Culprit.....I mode on SIM!

Hi there,
Bit of info for anyone who is having probs with MMS sending and receiving on non-i-mode handset.
I bought an i-mode handset and inserted my SIM, played with 4 few days, didn't like phone so sent it back.
Then put SIM in non i-mode handset and MMS never worked again.
This is because the SIM had changed settings to i-mode and there is no way of putting them back to standard settings unless u have an i-mode handset available (which i didn't) to change them back.
02 kindly did the job for me and hey presto...MMS works now.
Weird but true and I never thought that i-mode handsets would be such a problem!!!! Lol.

GPRS Does not work?

Hi I purchased my Imate K-Jam G4 in the UK sim free and brought it to the Cayman Islands. I do not appear to have any GPRS or edge ability. My service opertaor supports both they tried to send me the settings but came back with handset not supported.
I am running the latest imate ROM and have hard reset a couple of times to now avail. When i click on the internet all i get is cannot connect with current settings. i have tried both types of authentication.
Can anyone help me?
Is it anything to do with the CID lock which reports 001?
Thanks any help will be appreciated
Update:
Ok i have now managed to get it to connect by creating a new connection.However although it shows connected i get no data. can't even open google. any ideas?
Ok now got it working. my sim was not enabled for gprs put it in my wifes phone which had a text with the service provider settings saved them and then put the sim back in my phone. all now works. However seems to cost a small fortune so looks like i am going to disable it again. :-(

Ipaq 614c unable to send/receive SMS.

After updating to WM 6.1 with the latest ROM provided in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416901 I am unable to send or receive any SMS. I have tested the SIM card in other phone and it works. Is there any setting available that I should modify?
Thanks in advance!

Problem was fixed with a factory reset!

I believe this problem is caused by having an old SIM card. My Vodafone UK SIM worked fine in my ipaq 6915 (WM5) and in many other phones, but when I got my 614c, it seemed that this model was unable to read the SMSC (short message service delivery centre) number out of the SIM, so SMS messages could not be sent. I found that my SFR (Vodafone France) SIM card worked fine which made me think it must be the Vodafone UK SIM.
When I got a new SIM from Vodafone UK, the problem disappeared.
You can verify whether this is indeed your problem by going to Settings > Phone > Services > Voice Mail and Text Messages > Get Settings. If "Text messages service center" is set to null, or another value that is not correct for your network, you have the same problem as I did. (You will probably find you are unable to set this field manually - it is read from the SIM.)

The SIM card was brand new. I think my problem was linked to 3rd party software that I have installed, but I could not figure out which one, or to a temporarily problem from my operator. After the factory reset everything worked fine and there are about 6 months since then.

Optus MMS issue

I have been enjoying my HD2 for yonks now but I am plagued by a problem whereby I cannot send or received MMS messages.
I also had a problem with replying to SMS messages but this was fixed when I installed Vito SMS Chat... sent and replied to a couple of SMS's using SMS Chat then unistalled it and all is good!
Now back to my current problem.....cannot send MMS messages on Optus 3G. I spoke to Optus and was informed MMS messaging is not supported on the HD2 for at least 6 months due to some deal Telstra has with HTC?? What the!?!?!?
I have searched and searched but found nothing that helps on any forum so I am hopeful some here can assist me!?!?!
I have checked and rechecked settings and they all seem correct.
Cheers.....
PS: I have cooked my ROM to one of the scotsman's OZ Roms and love it!!

I am with TPG which use OPTUS 3G lines and i am able to send MMS without any issues at all.
All optus need to do is to activate MMS on your sim card once its activated it should work.
My sim card was already activated before i changed to the HD2 but i dont/havent had a problem yet.
PS. I would change to TPG its a hell of alot cheaper but still uses OPTUS's network (if your on a contract then i feel for you).

I am with PennyTel and they use Optus too.... their customer service is very poor but the call rates are amazing cheap!! Like 0.08c per call to the States untimed! Hard to beat that.... but the downside is poor customer service!
I will try to contact their customer service today to check that my MMS service is active!

some of the mms settings with the connections wizard are incorrect.
I have to change mine everytime I flash a new rom.
I don't have them here but if you search you can find the correct settings and fix them manually.
You could check if mms is enabled by putting the card in another phone.

Hey lakeman,
I have searched for settings and everything I find is the same as in my phone. Appreciate you providing your settings when you get the chance so I can compare....
Mmmmm....didn't think to try sim in another phone... will do this tonite as a test!

Not that it helps you much but I've been using my HD2 on Optus since I got it late last year.
I have never had problems with sending or receiving SMS or MMS...
I'm also using the default settings that are in the startup wizard after flashing

ok
4 things I have found(though I use Virgin settings)
1.you sometimes have to send yourself an mms to activate it
2.for the server in connections, the connection wizard put a space between virgin and MMS
3. the port should be 9201 rather than 8070
4. the wap version should be WAP1.2.
again these are the things that I had to change to work for me
I have used some roms occasionally that worked straight up
At least this could be a starting point for you to troubleshoot
cheers

hi [email protected]
Im with Optus too.. I had issues the first few times I've received MMS.... everytime I went to download the MMS, it'd give me an error and tell me that the file doesnt exist (or something along those lines).
I tried redo-ing all the settings extra with the wizard and couldnt get it to work..
One day, I unexpectedly received an MMS and I was able to reply back with a MMS... it hasn't died on me so far -
And I didnt do anything other than flashings a different different ROM or two and different radios, so i'm guessing that's what might've fixed it.
Anyway, if you're after the actual Optus settings to compare (it seems to be different for the resellers like Virgin, etc even though they run on the same network):
Server Name: Optus MMS
IP Adress: 61.88.190.10
Port Number: 8070
Server Aaddress: http://mmsc.optus.com.au:8002/
Connect via: Optus MMS Settings
Messages Size Limit: 300kb
WAP Version:2.
All the settings above were automaticallyconfigured using the Connection WIzard.
Hope this helps! :

Thanks lakeman and bobbified,
Tried your suggestions to no avail!
I have a call in with my provider to investigate and they advised my problem is being escalated.....I hope!
I guess I'll have to wait til next week now as it is Saturday!
Cheers....

Cannot send or receive MMS [tmobile]

I use Tmobile. Before i bought the Touch Pro 2, i owned a Nokia Supernova. I randomly lost the ability to send and receive picture messages. Since i was planning on buying a new phone anyway, i figured the problem will just be fixed when i do that.
It has been a couple months now with my HTC and the thought had completely left my mind until this week when various MMS messages needed to be sent and received and it was not happening. I then remembered the problem and realized that a new phone has not fixed the problem.
I have googled the problem and i have found it is common, however, everyone's experience with tech support has been the same "Hard Reset the device"
1. i doubt that will fix the problem since i have flashed 2 roms since i got the phone. Energyrom with CHT. The first just being an early build than the second.
2. the ONLY "solution" that i did find, did not work for me. [http://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/T-Mobile-Touch-Pro2/Can-t-Send-MMS-messages-HELP/m-p/268108]
And so as a last resort, i have come here to ask for some help.
Other than the 21 steps found in the above link, i have also tried the "Automatically Configure Connection" option on my device.
Thank you in advance.

Been having the same problem since my Tmo usa touch pro 2 and now the problem is back on my hd2. Tmo is not doing anything about this problem and its really pissing me the hell off man.

my sms/mms work fine on my unlocked tilt, even work on my nokia 6510. OP, ahve you contacted them and let them know about the issue?
I have used what is in that link for my old htc wizard, and now tilt. Worked great. Are you using the stock ROM or custom? I might recommend running a custom ROM and/or downloading the "connection setting" wizard.

hi. i have unlocked x10 and not been able to send or receive either. hard reset nothing. checked apn settings but nothing. with o2 and was advised that my sim card was 4 years old and only 2g. aparently i need a 3g sim card and he thinks this will work. have to wait 3 days for it. but strangely my previous phone was sony satio which was also a 3g but worked fine. but this is not uncommon aparently. so hopefully new 3g sim card will work. hope this will be helpful.

I have a touch pro 2 as well and under connection there should be a seperate tmobile connect that says tmobilee mms make sure everything in there is configured correctly,

I'm on prepaid, so I'm not sure if it's the same for those on contract.
One setting I found I needed to change to get MMS to work correctly (besides the obvious), is to change the WAP Version to 1.2....

i think it would help my situation (as well as others who are looking) if you would please post your settings under the T-Mobile MMS selection. because i have no idea if it is configured correctly.

What about for imagio
I am having similar problems, I have an imago and cant find out how to get mms, everytime i send a message it gets stuck in my outbox and received messages are blank, anyone know how to fix this, also i cant find the apn screen anywhere

Did you checked if your APN settings were still ok ?
After me flashing my phone i couldnt send/recieve mms either, Checked my APN settings, and they were not configured anymore. Went to the site of Vodafone and there it said which data i had to enter.
