xda cannot send pictures or sound in an mms?????
how come?
my mate has a 3650 on o2 payg and he cant surf the web using gprs unless he gets a dataplan, but he can use wap to surf the web
this is the same as the XDA on payg :\
but when it comes to mms the 3650 gets the points
the 3650 can send pictures or sound/video via mms using gprs mms but wouldnt it require dataplanto send this?
this is where the XDA looses as on payg there are no such dataplans avaliable to us unless we go onto contract. the mms on the xda sends text fine but when you add a picture or sound in it says message sending failed right away?!?!?
how come the 3650 can send pics ect... without having a dataplan and the XDA cant?!?!
could someone please give me some kind of idea?
the settings are exactly the same as each other but nothing from the xda

This is purely down to your operator. Because they only really want to deal with simple consumer phone devices, the support they give for the XDA is very limited: they don't want to open the can of worms of MMS on the XDA. EzWAP2.5 works but it's not 100% reliable.
Because of this, many operators pretend that they can't switch the 'MMS enabled' flag at their side that allows MMS on your account. They can: you just need to keep pestering them and try and get through to a sympathetic techie. This is probably what's causing the immediate failure.
Once the flag is set on your account, you need the correct settings for your provider - people have listed them for many providers in these fora so just have a search.
thing is though mms, gprs and wap are enabled on my simcard when i used to have a nokia 3510i i got it all done then i got my xda which was a huge upgrade for me and the best phone out i think
i spoke to the womanat o2:
hi can i set up an gprs data plan please for my sim ok one min hats your number....
blar blar blar....
your sim is already set up for gprs and mms
i know im on baout where you pay like everymonth for a few mb of gprs data download oh sorry not avaliable for people on payg
oh ok then bye
bye
hang up
that kinda is a bit ghey if you ask me.
orange let payg users do gprs dataplans
but why not o2?

The dataplan is irrelevant as you don't get billed for gprs usage when using mms. Even on an O2 contract you can't use mms on the xda either.
On pay and go you have gprs wap - which is what you need to use mms. But O2 aren't supporting mms on xda at all. When I spoke to O2 data guys they told me that they will be releasing another rom later this year that will support mms. The O2 website backs this up as well.
Once we have this then it should work on contract and pay and go.
i think they will leave that once the XDA2 is out all support and rom updates from them will stop for the xda 1 me thinks :| if not then cool cant wait

hey guys
i am new here and i just got my xda.......its a wonderful device no doubt and whats more wonderful is the support that you people offer through this website. keep up the good work and i hope that i can be of help to you and to this website..
now to the problem...i have a wap account which i configured correctly (since when i am dialing it is connecting) but when i try to access wap sites from internet explorer...no matter what wap site i try (which i know is working) it always tells me page could not be found!
so what am i doing wrong? do i need another wap browser and if yes please give me the link of a good one that you recommend
thanks for your help in advance
may GOD bless you all
You can use EZWAP 2.5 ... it's complicated but works good for WAP sites.
Pocket IE doesn't support WAP protocol
Hilal, have you tried accessing normal http internet pages, I have an O2 pay and go sim, I have 300 minutes wap for free every month, I just dial in to my wap access number using gsm not gprs, I am then able to get full internet access.
Hey all, I've trawled through the posts here and googled this several times but I cannot find an idiot proof method of setting up GPRs on Pocket PC 2002.
All the setting i find on google are for Pocket PCs without internet connectivity like the XDA.
Does anybody else here have the settings they use and an idiot proof guide to inputting them as this is my first experience using an XDA.
Thanks all.
Got this sorted - thanks.
Virgin Settings
How did you get it sorted??
This is doing my head in. I can't find any settings that work and as you know those numbs nuts at Virgin can't help.
these work for me
select: modem cellular line (gprs)
access point name: goto.virginmobile.uk
user name : user
password and domain - leave blank
under advanced - TCP/IP and servers -dot on use server-assigned IP address
The above worked for me.

Virgin MMS Settings
Yeah. I have managed to set up the GPRS on can now browse website on my PDA.
But what about MMS. I can't find the right settings to make that work.
Does anyone know of a website with this info? (Virgin has thier MMS setting but they do not relate to PDA's)
Or
Can anyone reading this tell me in idiot proof terms how to do it?
Thanks
This might help you setting up MMS on your XDA I

The topic is written specifically for Optus Australia network, but you can just replace the server addresses etc. with your own network's.
I just took those settings from a friend's mobile phone and it seems to work. So i dont think there's a difference between PDA's and phones when it comes to settings for mms. My sefvice provider also refused to give me the settings. Anyways, thats a step in the right direction for you, gd luck!
Hi, I require fool proof settings for my XDA 1 o2 wap.
