Can anyone answer this??? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

I have an AT&T Tilt unlocked and am using it for T-Mobile. The phone works great with the exception of a few things. What do I need to do in order for my Internet and MMS messages to work?
Also does anyone know of any shortcut for text messaging? It seems that you have to go through so many steps to start a text.
Thanks!

settings are different with other carriers
I am not exactly sure what settings would have to be changed to make the internet work but I know I have read it a few times for different ROMS, I just didn't need the advice since mine works. Search the forums and find out what TMobile runs off of. As far as how quick it takes to get to texts, you can change a key to them and there are a ton of programs that offer shortcuts.

for MMS the setttings need to be:
Server name: T-Mobile MMS
Gateway: 216.155.165.50
Port Number: 8080
server address: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
connect via: T-mobile MMS
Wap version: WAP 2.0
for the internet go to connection settings and for the connection name enter
T-mobile Data
access point name: wap.voicestream.com
user name and password leave blank

thanks for the quick response. Where exactly do I go to enter this information?
thanks again

Thank you for the link

it also depends on which internet plan u have? if its the 5.99 tzones plan, its a little more difficult to set up, let me know if u have that one and i'll tell u how.. if ur using the 19.99 plan, simply go to settings-->connections-->connection setup, and set it up for tmobile USA. it'll also set up ur mms at the same time. good luck

oh wait... ur using the tilt rom... thats probably NOT gonna be there... i'd advise u to flash to a different rom.. sorry

Hi,
to speed up your textmessaging you can copy the files tnsms(for SMS) or tnmms (for MMS) for the windowsdirectory in your startupfolder.
These files open a new SMS or MMS an you wont have to do many steps.
Then you have possibility to choose these applications in your buttonapplication, where you can assign applications to buttons.

yes i have th 5.99 plan can you still help?

sms settings on tilt
Sorry mms settings......
Does anyone know where these are ?

my buddy is on tmobile and it took me a good day to figure out the correct settings... I honestly don't understand why tmobiles mms settings are so hard to setup while atts is really easy

hey, just as a warning, i was never able to get the 5.99 settings to work on the original tilt rom, and another user on this forum also never got it to work. the 19.99 internet works fine on the tilt rom. dunno its weird. however when i flashed over to a different rom, it worked no problems.
1- go to connections, and add new connection cellular line, gprs 3G, call it whatever you want
2- access point name: wap.voicestream.com, leave the next one blank and then finish.
3- now click on manage existing connections, click on proxy settings on the bottom right tab
4. make sure both boxes are checked, and enter 216.155.165.50 as the proxy server.
5- click on advanced, and double click on http: and change the port to 8080. leave everything else the same. ok out to the original connections settings screen.
6- click on the advanced tab on the bottom. click on select networks and set both of them to my work network
thats it.. IE should work now no problems, and set any pop3 email accounts to connect to my work network. good luck
omar

i have no idea how to flash to a new rom. Is this something that you think i can do easily and without ruining my phone?

I am running into the same issue too, no MMS, but Internet works good on the 5.99, so i am really wanting the MMS to work.. I hope i dont have to have the $19.99 to have it to work.. that would suck! HELP!!!

Hi all, I realise there are a lot of resources around here, but to be very honest, they all assume a level of knowledge I just don't have. I'm pretty computer-savvy, but all this phone/PPC stuff is new territory to me.
The story: I recently bought an unlocked T-Mobile MDA to use on the Fido network in Canada. I'm having a lot of trouble getting things to work beyond simple voice and texting. I've finally managed to get a GPRS connection working so I can surf the internet, but I can't get Messenger to work nor can I send MMS. I'm gathering that changing the MMS settings will require I flash the ROM to a generic version, is that correct? I've found the step-by-step instructions for doing this, but have no clue what file to actually use. My #1 priority is using Messenger, and I can't connect via wi-fi or GPRS. Not sure if that's a separate issue or not . . .
I am usually very self-sufficient WRT tech stuff but I am just getting more confused the more I read. Any pointers or hand-holding would be very much appreciated!!
I'll give you what little help I can. Since I don't have fido I can't tell you the settings that you need for sure but I'll see if I can't find them for you. First, you don't have to flash a new ROM to change youe MMS settings, you just have to put the correct setings in there for it to use it. The thing with messenger is that some phone companys have started to block the ports that messengers use so if that's the case with fido, you may never get it to work. I'll do some looking and see if I can't come up with your MMS settings for you though, I'm sure I've seen them around here.
Here you go:
1. Create a 'Cellular Line (GPRS)' connection under My ISP.
Call it whatever, I called it Fido MMS.
2. The APN is mms.fido.ca
3. user=fido, pswd=fido
4. Leave the Advanced tab alone (Auto IP assignments)
5. exit My ISP connections
6. In MMS Composer app, Tools/Options/Server, grab the default.
7. I renamed the server name as 'Fido MMS'.
8. I set the Gateway=205.151.11.13 (note - no leading zeroes or port 9201!)
9. Server address is http://mms.fido.ca
If you have any more settings questions, go to post #7 in this thread. - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299023&highlight=fido+settings
Hey, I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out.
Part of why I thought I would have to flash the ROM is because in the MMS servers part, I am not able to modify the existing server (T-Mobile) nor can I add a new one since the buttons are all greyed out. I figured T-Mobile had locked this setting in. Am I missing something?
You just have to create new connections. Just go to Start-->Settings--> connections tab--> Connections--> Advanced tab--> Select Networks button--> and finally the New button and use the above settings to create a new connection. After that you should be able to use those settings for your MMS. Also do the exact same thing as above to set up your GPRS settings. When you're done setting those up, to be able to connect to GPRS just choose the GPRS connection you just set up in the Select Networks page. There are 2 connections in there that you can choose which connection you want to use, just use the GPRS settings that you just set up for both of them.
I've managed to set up and connect to the various networks, but I still don't have the option to add or change the MMS server. The buttons remain disabled and only T-Mobile can be used. Still can't log into Messenger, either. The wi-fi is pretty much non-functional. I really regret buying this phone.
Thanks for trying to help me out though, I really do appreciate it.
Just to kind of get this straight, does your GPRS work now? Can you log on to the internet in internet explorer?
I'll have to do some looking, getting your mms to allow you to change to the server that you set up may only take a regestry edit.
As for your wifi, that may have to do with the security settings that you have set up. I believe you can only use wep and in WM5 you may only be able to use 64 bit wep keys but I'm not positive on that. I think you also have to have SSID enabled. I'm kind of new to this part since I just set up my first wireless network about 2 weeks ago.
Don't give up on it yet.
Ok, found the registry settings for MMS. Hopefully your comfortable enough to be able to change the settings yourself. Go to HKLM/Software/Arcsoft/Arcsoft MMS UA/Config/mm1/MMSCSettings/T-Mobile MMS
Now change these registry keys:
Gateway : 205.151.11.13
GatewayPort : 8080
ISP : FIDO MMS
MmscURI : http://mms.fido.ca
Name : FIDO MMS
Now close your registry editor and wait 30 seconds or so and press the power off button until it warns you that "device will be off..." click yes and then reboot your phone.
Your MMS settings should now be set to the correct settings although I'm not going to guarantee it since I couldn't test it myself. The only thing I'm thinking that may cause it not to work is the ConnectionVia registry setting which may cause it to revert back to it's original settings because it points to the t-mobile mms settings and I have no idea what you would need to change that setting to. I'm crossing my fingers though that it doesn't cause it to revert back.
If that doesn't work, deleting the entire T-Mobile settings key may unlock your grayed out keys that aren't allowing you to change your settings in the first place.

Help Needed: MMS not working on my TILT

hello everyone! Well I'm fairly new to this but I have followed all the rules, I think. I have search high and how for a fix with no help.
MY PROBLEM is that I cant send or receive MMS messages. I recently unlocked my tilt so that I could use it on tmobile-- thanks to jockyw and I did the hardspl that to-- pof. Thats all I have done. I have my network set to tmobile and I get edge service. I just cant figure it out. Any help would be great.
Did you also change your MMS server settings? When in the MMS folder click Menu > MMS Options > Servers tab .. You need to make sure you have the correct MMS server settings here. Sorry I don't have the settings for T-Mobile for you to enter.

thnx in advance...
Please post in the ROM's thread for issues. You started 2 topics allready, which should not be here.
which settings cab did you use? The one for Sense 2.5 or 2.1? I am using currently the same ROM and have no issues with MMS. Send and recieve just fine. I got my cabs from the wingster site. Do a quick search and be patient, help is available.
try this mms fix
http://www.thewingster.com/mmsfixm25.aspx
the mms fix above worked for me great..which is specifically for our problem..
once you install you have to go to your "all messages" screen or "inbox" then >menu>settings>options>menu>mms server>set tmobile as default..also click on tmobile to make sure "connect via" is set to tmobile mms then set your send limit to you desired amout of kb's!!!

All of your answers are already in the LEO ROM thread...
were? plz show me? =/
ok so i made a cab to add the tmo mms settings to the htc messaging client that manila uses. it should work on any version of the messaging client and doesnt replace the whole client like the other fixes do so it wont cause crashes.

just to be sure, make sure that the connection setup had already ran and had configured your phone previously and if not, make sure you run it.

ok, the previous cab i made replaces the messaging client entirely, which is un-needed now that nrg includes that same version in his roms. this cab just has the reg entries alone so it should work with any version of the messaging client. so uninstall the previous cab and use this one.

omg thats happening to me too, i reflashed my rom and installed the cab, nd now this happens =/ wtf?! help again?! ugh!
This has always worked for me as a fail-safe. Depending on your ROM and manila version sometimes you have to look in slightly different places to get to the same thing but here is what I have:
1. Start, Settings, Connections, and then tap the Connections Icon
2. Under "My Work Network" tap Add a New Modem Connection
3. Name it Picture Messaging and under Select a modem select (GPRS,3G)
4. Under Access Point Name type: wap.voicestream.com
5. Username, Password, and Domain is left blank and then click Finish
6. Now, go into Proxy Settings under "my work network: and check "This network connects to the Internet" and check "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet"
7. Under the Proxy Server box type: 216.155.165.050
8. Tap the advanced button and tap on the HTTP line. Make sure the HTTP settings shows 216.155.165.050:80. If not, change it.
9. Click the OK button a few times to get out of the settings completely.
10.Now go to messages (in manila) and click all messages, then menu, and mms options. go to servers tab. select new. Call it T-Mobile.
11. MMS gateway address is 216.155.165.050 and port number is 80
14. MMS URL is http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
15. Finally under Network Profile select: My Work Network and then click ok.

T-mobile MMS Help (w/ $10 internet settings)

Guys,
I have performed a search and tried various settings but have been unable to find a combination that works.
I cannot get the MMS on my unlocked, purchased directly from Google, T-mobile Nexus One to send.
Additionally, I am using the APN of internet2.voicestream.com so that I can use the $10 Web2Go internet instead of the epc.tmobile.com.
I have tried using both the stock messaging system as well as Handcent.
I am currently on Froyo but I also had the same problems with Eclair.
What are the tried and true settings for my particular configuration? Is anyone out there doing the same exact thing as me and have you been successful with sending MMS's?
you need two apns
FROYO by default will add epc one... don't delete it. however, go to APN settings and change the APN type to mms
create another APN for internet2 and set its type to default
arkavat,
Thanks a bunch! I tried this before but I did not properly set the internet2.voicestream.com APN type to "default". That did the trick.
Which APN should I apply the "supl" type to? internet2 or epc?
Can either of you post a line by line of the mms settings? This may come in handy to enable mms on my old g1 that my gf is using without a data plan.
I had the same issue, the mms settings helped but something else helped.
Send two sms and two mms to your phone (from yourself) and that fixed it for me.
OH MAN! I just spent 2 hours checking every line and trying every combination. Follow the above instructions about the mms and default APN settings exactly..... REBOOT your phone, then it will work. I didn't reboot and it drove me nuts.

for MMS I used just the factory settings.. epc.tmobile.com, etc etc..
However.. I changed the name of it from T-mobile US to T-mobile US-MMS
then down at the bottom where it says APN type.. you type in "mms".. all in lower case letters..
Now simply make a new APN... with the settings

Thanks... I need to get my gf to sign up for the $10 web plan if it's still available. She's getting nothing... no internet, and no MMS, which is what she really wants to work.
Has anyone had any problem using a lot of data while on this plan? Will they notice?
I noticed that in the Manage Account Usage page under Recent Usage, with only 244.6/Unlimited minutes, the little bar below it is about 1/4 of the way filled. Is that normal or does that mean that we have a 1 GB softcap now?
The price makes it worth my while to go easy on the data, but I'd still rather watch an episode on hulu every day, if possible.
arg nm it just started working lol.

[Q] OG Droid MMS PagePlus Help

Hello All,
I'm trying to get a stock Verizon OG Droid to work on Pageplus.
I activated it recently and the 3G data and text messaging seems to work just fine but picture messages/mms aren't received nor sent ...
I assume this has something to do with a apn settings or some options, any help would be appreciated
Thanks,
Pete
You have to create a second APN for MMS in addition to the mobile data APN.
You should be able to find the necessary information in the help pages of your provider - or use google.
Interesting thing is i have tried sending that phone smaller pictures and it seems to receive them, can this be a MMS size limit issue ?
How does one resolve this ?
I am not sure if the APN would cure this problem anymore or has anything to do with it...

I'm pretty sure there's a size limit on MMS too.
Usually the picture is resized when attaching it.
Perhaps i should check the APN settings because it seems very flaky still...
I could not find out where the settings are on this phone, can someone point them out to me ?
Thanks,
Pete
Settings > Wireless > Mobile network > APNs > press menu key > select "Add APN"
Something like this - I don't have any stock 2.x devices to check...
