A few newbie questions

---

I'm in the UK and have got hold of a new O2 DXA Mini S.

I'm on the Orange Network in the UK and the unit works fine in everyway except for sending mms messages.
I can make call and send/receive texts but not mms messages.
Someone told me it was to do with the fact that even thought its unlocked there is a default setting in the rom with it being an O2 branded unit and the only way to be able to be able to send/receive mms messages would be to reflash it. Is this correct?

Secondly, yesterday I noticed on the 'TODAY' screen that I had a battery status notification that has now disappeared - all I have done is to remove some software from the remove programmes section - there was one entry in there that looked like it was something to with O2 settings.
Butr I cannot find a way of getting the battery status onto the 'Today' screen now.
Or are there any free progs about that I can install that will do the same thing ?- it seemed quite useful to have it on front screen.
I have somehow managed to get rid of all the O2 branded stuff from the phone - was the battery status on TODAY screen part of that?

Thirdly my friend has a unit and on the TODAY screen by the date, the day also is shown - eg thursday 23 november
all I can get is the date. Cannot find anyway of putting the day name onto the TODAY screen.

Lastly is there a way of restoring the unit to how it was as it came out of the box?
There were two setup options when I first turned the unit on - one was for O2 customers which I accepted, as I knew it would work with an Orange SIM - the other option was a more customised option - someone has told me I should have probably selected this in order to be able to send mms messages on my own network.

Thanks

Sorry for the confusing post

mms settings

---

in my opinion you should make a new connection.
let orange send you the settings.
this should solve this

I've got the orange settings but it won't let me send or receive mms.

I can send text and browse internet through Orange but I've noticed there is a default O2 setting within the mms settings that the system won't let me delete.

I imagine the rom would need to be reflashed??

Or does anyone know a way of using the orangemms service on an O2 phone with an orange sim in it?

Add a new server in the mms configuration and call it orange.

Make sure it has these settings

Orange MMS settings

Access Point Name: orangemms
Gateway IP (proxy) address: 192.168.224.10
Port: 9201 (some users have reported 8080 works if 9201 doesn't)
Server address http://mms.orange.co.uk/

And make sure connect via = INTERNET often wrong

Tried that and still cant send

Orange MMS settings

Access Point Name: orangemms
Gateway IP (proxy) address: 192.168.224.10
Port: 9201 (some users have reported 8080 works if 9201 doesn't)
Server address http://mms.orange.co.uk

connect via = internet


Just seems to connect via Orange GRPS


and if I try and set up one in the section : Settings/Connection / My work network and choose
select a modem: cellular line ( gprs)
access point name: orangemms
and leave rest blank
and select use server assigned ip address

This is what orange told me to do

It doesn't work either.

They siad its probably because I'm using an branded O2 phone ( even though its unlocked ) that I can't do the mms stuff ????


Thanks for help and contributions so far

Have orange set up your account to send and receive mms?

TMo's US settings for what they are worth

Well if I put sim into my samsung d900 - i can send and receive pics ok.
They get sent ok - and if someone sends me a p[icture it just arrives with a text
( I don't have to download it or anything )

And on the O2 mini s I can do everything but send mms - ( text, calls, internet, wireless, gprs all work ok )

If I send a picture to mini s from another phone - I get text notification but it is unable to download it.

A friend has same O2 mini S on Orange network with same problem. A guy in Orange shop told him it is something to do with the ROM being made for O2 ??

I'm intersted to see if anyone in UK is using an O2 mini s on the Orange network and are able to send receive mms??
