New user to the M1000

[walkme70]

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 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=9015&highlight=). 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 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=6470&highlight=tutorial+extended+rom).

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,

Yes, forgot that part! See here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=7306&highlight=orange+settings), 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!

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.
