MMS problem on Orange, UK

[Earthworm]

I've searched the forums but can't see anything about the problem I have been experiencing since flashing with WM6. I've tried various WM6 versions but I am still unable to send or received MMS's on my Orange SPV M3100. I have checked and re-checked my MMS settings. I have tried installing operater settings cabs and have also received the MMS settings via SMS from Orange. STILL I cannot get any of my MMS messages to send and cannot receive them either. Has anyone else on the Orange network running WM6 experienced this same problem? Does anyone know of a solution?? Hope someone out there can help. Thanks.

K dude, firstly what is the wap version and sending size limit in the server settings? Actually, can you post the settings you are using?? (include everything, the port numbers, gateway etc.. JUST the mms settings)

worked well for me!

No problem. Here you Go...

In Connection Settings:
Name for the connection: Orange MMS
Select Modem: Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)
Access Point name: orangemms
User name: Orange (or blank)
Password: Multimedia (or blank)


Server Settings:
Server Name: Orange MMS
Gateway: 192.168.224.010
Port Number: 8080
Server address: http://mms.orange.co.uk
Connect Via: Orange MMS
Sending size limitation: 300K
WAP Version: WAP 2.0

In the preferencs tab, what should I set the photo resolution as? This setting is not mentioned in the MMS setup instructions on Orange.net but is currently set as WVGA (320x240) as I do not believe Orange handle photo's of a higher resolution. Is this correct?

Try changing the port number from 8080 to 9201. The sending size limit and wap version will change, but leave them as they are and give that a try!?

Note the capital letters at start of Orange and Multimedia !!!

And the port numbers wrong! It should be 9201

Thanks for the link. I cross checked all my setting with the ones in the post and they match except that the Orange MMS server address was quoted as "http://mms.orange.co.uk/". I don't know if the final forward slash is important but I tried adding it anyway but I still can't get my MMS's to send.

Worth a try though.

Have you used port 9201????

[Earthworm]

Thanks for the tips guys. I tried altering port to 9201. The password should be "Orangemultimedia" not "Multimedia" as I originally stated in my previous post. Anyway, I've tried passwords "multimedia", "orangemultimedia", "Multimedia" and "Orangemultimedia" as passwords. Still no joy I'm afraid. What the hell is wrong here I wonder? I'll keep fiddling with it.

Try sending yourself one. If your settings are right, that usually helps.

Try sending myself an MMS? Yes, I do this every time I change a setting to check if it has worked. Unfortunatelt my MMS's just get stuck in the outbox. The phone tries 4 times to send them then moves them to the drafts folder. I'm right out of ideas now. I see that there is a new WM6 ROM out so I dare say I'll be trying this out soon. Who knows, maybe this will help.

On my TyTN (using O2) I connect to MMS through the default internet connection rather than have a dedicated connection setup for mms. You could try setting to connect through the standard GPRS connection instead ????

I had exactly the same problem as you on Orange UK. The settings all look right at first glance but you have an error in them. I have confirmed this by changing my settings to match yours and MMS stops working, changing them back to mine makes everything work again (for me anyway).

It may sound bizarre but the setting you need to change is your MMS Gateway.

Change it from:
192.168.224.010

to

192.168.224.10

Let me know if it works for you. Technically these settings are the same but I can confirm that they are NOT. The first does not work, the second does. Took me loads of trial and error to find this one!!

I also had this problem with mms on Orange UK WM6, and can confirm changing the gateway IP works. Thanks Rabdo :)

[philg2000]

Brilliant - Has sorted it for me!

Just sent my girlfriend photo of my pint :-)

[Earthworm]

rabdo you are a life saver!! I have been tearing my head out over this MMS probelm and it was all down to a "0" !!! Bloody zeroes! Anyway, I can't thank you enough mate. One last thing, do you know what the sending size limitation should be set at? 100K, 200k or 300k? Also, have you ever tried sending video clips via MMS.? I tried this today but when the video MMS was received, the video only plays for a mzx of 8 seconds. This is despite the file size of the MMS being well within the minimum 100K size limitation. Anyone else noticed this?

[mrvanx]

The video may only playback for 8 sec because the mms was set to play for 8 sec??

Try saving the file on your sd card or device, then playback with TCPMP or media player??

My limit is set to 300k and works fine - haven't tried video clips yet. By the way, not sure if you know but the voicemail notification problem on Orange UK has now been fixed

[Earthworm]

Yup, my hair took a bit of a battering from that voicemail problem too but that's been fixed now too thanks to the good peolpe of xda-developers. What a great bunch of people :-)
