Whooop, whooop - Samsung Omnia 7 with non-default MMS-settings

Wooop, wooop, finally got this to work. Trial and error is soooo underrated.

Find your serivce provider MMS details. I got the following from mine:

Internet-APN: data.dk

MMS-APN: data.dk

MMS-gateway/MMSC: h t t p : / / mms . oister . dk

'Proxy-adress: h t t p : / / mmsproxy . oister . dk

Proxy-port: 8799

This is basically what is written in the OTA-smses you receive on older phones.

I made an overview where to insert the data in the xml, for those who do not want to experiment them selves (see the picture).

Prerequisites:

Chevron-unlocked WP7 (see amongst others ansar's very nice step-by-step instruction which I followed before all this. Here you will also learn how to transfer xmls to your phone, like minori_aoi breifly describes)

No APN should be inserted in settings->cellular

Microsoft ADC should be turned OFF.

Network profile-app from samsung should be uninstalled!! (crap for us who uses providers not in their list)

But everything is working now - thanks to minori_aoi for leading the way

because settings are automated , here in saudi arabia no carier has the settings because it is not yet in the market here , what samsung network app does is detecting network settings but as they don't exist yet , how can it find which isn't thier.

it is a matter of time , when it is (wp7) officially here , you will get settings by sms or auto detecting by the device.

Finally figured out how to finish the installation of this:

Then go to provxml folder and paste the file. Name it something.xml.

Then open Samsung diagnosis app (can be installed by calling ##634#) and type *#9908#, select the xml you just added to provXML folder and click save.

You can then verify the settings have been installed by typing *#9920# in the diagnosis app. I've successfully installed to previously provided Oister XML.

I'm not getting mms to work with my operator. Here are settings from my operator:

internet vpn: internet.ventelo.no (line 6: NAP-ADDRESS) (Working)

mms vpn: mms.ventelo.no (line 17: NAP-ADDRESS)

username: ventelo (line 20: AUTHNAME)

password: 1111 (line 21: AUTHSECRET)

Edit: IT WORKED AT LAST!!! Trial and error is the key here as many before me have said. In my case it worked after 10-12 tries. I had actually given up. :D

AUTHTYPE was my Achilles' heel. Setting the value="" on line 19 solved everything.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johndoe0045:
Just been reviewing your xml, it seems strange that you can recievie and not send. I spotted two things:

1) MMSC-center lacks port number (don't know if you can add it this way):

<parm name="DOMAIN" value=" h t t p : / / mmsc.t-mobile.co.uk:8002"/>

2) Missing user and password to APN:

<parm name="AUTHNAME" value="tm"/>

<parm name="AUTHSECRET" value="user"/>

That is just my two cents - don't know if it helps.

I have just upgraded to 7720 RTM, and the old xml working in Nodo is not working anymore. So it is all trial and error from the top - jesus!

Htc hd7 mms

Hi Folks,

I'm trying to figure out how to get MMS to work on an HTC HD7 (a T-Mobile phone unlocked for Mobilicity in Canada). I believe I have to edit a provxml file but can't seem to get the settings right. The APN settings for Mobilicity can be found here. I just need to figure out to put them into a provxml file. I assuming I can write it in notepad and rename it to a provxml file? The phone is unlocked so I have interop access.

Attached is what I have so far...but I can't seem to be able to send MMS messages with these settings. Anybody have any hints as to what I'm doing wrong - or is able to write me a provxml file for my carrier's MMS APN?

Thanks in advance! :D
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcxotic:
It worked!!

WOHO!

Confirmed that this exact MMS settings made by Riley600 works on Mobilicity in Toronto, Canada on my t-mobile branded HTC HD7, Official Mango, HTC Driver V1, Chevron Unlocked, Interop Unlocked. The process is pretty long and this is a condensed version. I used the DiagProvXMLv0.91_IS.xap tool to execute the XML code on my phone. In order to get the XML code onto my phone in the 1st place, I used the Windows Phone Power Tools.

Seriously, the process is ridiculously long to fix this MMS issue.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riley600:
Confirmed! DiagProvXMLv0.91_IS.xap and an updated APN provxml file can be used to address the MMS issue on unlocked phones using a different carrier than TMOUS. I will post a full description of this process for Mobilicity shortly (I suspect it will work with other carriers too if you modify the APN names).

Thanks to rcxotic for his work on the issue. :)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] torter:
Confirmed on a Samsung Focus

Confirmed this process works, but it takes a little bit of work. Below is a simplified step by step process that worked on my Mango phone.

1. Developer Unlock your phone. I used Chevron WP7 ($10). Make sure to follow all the directions on their website. This is needed to sideload apps.

2. Download and install Windows Phone Power Tools onto your PC from the devs site here. This is needed to easily transfer files from your computer to an application installed through the Power Tools.

2.5. If you have a Samsung phone use the Diagnosis app (install it by calling ##634# on the phone) to check your current internet/mms settings. Check the settings by typing *#9920# INTO the Diagnosis app. Take mental note or write them down in case you want them later.

3. Interop Unlock your phone. I suggest you install the app through Windows Phone Power Tools, makes for easy management. Follow the directions on Post#1 of thread number 1271963. This is needed to sideload apps that use the interop flag (ie native code). If you are changing your internet/MMS setting right away you won't have to worry about fixing your internet settings as suggested in this thread.

4. Install the On-Device ProvXML tool from thread 1238519 using Windows Phone Power Tools (necessary to add your provxml file).

5. Using the provxml example files from posts in this thread create your own file with the settings for your provider. Experimentation really is the key here, it WILL eventually work with the right settings in the right spots.

6. Using Windows Phone Power Tools, copy (Put File) the provxml file you created for your carrier into the On-Device ProvXML app storage.

7. Open the On-Device ProvXML app and swipe left to the ISO STORE screen. Long press the file you just copied and select EXECUTE. The app should tell you it executed successfully. Close out of the app.

7.5. If you have a Samsung device check your connection settings again to see if they changed to what you wanted. This is good to check in case a change you made in your file did not do what you wanted it to do in the settings.

8. Try sending a MMS! If it doesn't work, keep working on your provxml file and repeat steps 6 and 7.

My first post here in xda-dev, I hope it helps the brave souls using WP7 on different carriers!

I'll upload my provxml files for Red Pocket Mobile/JOLT and have a quick chat about things I've noticed in a post to follow.

Giffgaff MMS?

I've really struggled with getting MMS to work on my Omnia 7, since I switched to giffgaff. From one of the giffgaff members, I was able to obtain a provxml file (copied to the appropriate directory using WP7 Root Tools), but I don't know enough to work out where it might be going wrong, as MMS still isn't working on my Chevron and interop unlocked phone.

I'm copying the XML file into the provxml folder, and using the *#9908# diagnostic code to load it.

I'm starting to look into whether I should use the WP7 Root Tools to edit the registry - is this a feasible way of updating the MMS settings?

Update - using the solution offered by the giffgaff member, I was able to successfully apply the XML file. I had to go about it in a roundabout way (install Network Profile, set it to O2 Prepay config, then uninstall it before applying the XML file using the diagnostic tool).

That is just so awful for Microsoft to make this MMS so difficult to setup whereas Android and iOS are so painless to setup
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrGreencastle:
Just wanted to post that this worked successfully for me, manually editing the file. Here's the settings I used:

Name: Bell MMS

APN: pda2.bell.ca

Username: <leave blank>

Password:<leave blank>

Server: <leave blank>

MMSC: http://mms.bell.ca/mms/wapenc

MMS Proxy: web.wireless.bell.ca

MMS port: 80

MCC: 302

MNC: 610 OR 651 (try both)

APN type: mms

Everything else was turned off. This was after MMS previously working on my Rogers Samsung Focus unlocked on the Bell network in Canada. I had to use Samsung tools to enable run ADC option, which got it working, but a recent OS update to version 7740 ruined it, and the run ADC option didn't fix it this time. After disabling that, and manually adding the above into the xml file, transferring it over, and using Diagprovxml to enable it, everything seems to be working again.

Hopefully in the future I won't have to go through all that, but it was an interesting learning experience nonetheless. I've attached the file I edited, so that hopefully it will be easier for others.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
@hatuna: "Failed to create SAMSUNG COM object" probably means that your phone is incompatible. Is it a second-generation Samsung phone (Omnia W / Focus Flash)? Apps like DiagProvXML don't work for those phones. Instead, you must use the ZIP path traversal hack, the same as what Windowbreak does.

Alternatively, does your phone have the most recent firmware update, which I believe is called "KK2"? If so, you're out of luck unless you can downgrade the phone (restore a Zune backup, possibly); Samsung "fixed" the high-privielege component used for provxml so that it will no longer read user-provided ProvXML.

Worked for me

Your file worked just fine for me (Telus Mobility in Manitoba)

How I got it working:

Already-Rooted Custom ROM for Samsung Focus with Root Tools in the Settings

Emailed the XML to myself

Hmm... no provXML folder. I know what can fix that!!

Partially-installed WindowBreak; tapping the xml file created the ProvXML folder for me, with the WindowBreak.xml file in it

Copied the telus xml file from my AppData\Volatile\EmailAttachments... directory, to \ProvXML

In diagnostic mode, pressed *#9908#

In the GRPS Profile, selected the telus XML from the list, and tapped "Save"

Worked! No reboot required; MMS pictures work, sent or received... no video or voice messaging, but that's likely due to the ROM I have.

I see devs promoting SBC kernels and quite a few users raving about their SBC kernels, but aren't they supposed to hurt your phone's battery big time? Are they just ignorant or how is that people are still using SBC kernels despite the known, proven facts of how harmful they are? Am I missing something?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Most people have no issues with SBC kernels. Most of the controversy that was brewed up by some people has passed, and they're pretty well accepted now. The main concern with SBC is that it can lessen the number of charges you get out of your battery. Given the price of new batteries, most users - myself included - choose the extra hours now over the possibility the battery will poop out later.

I get much better battery life on SBC, and it's worth it to me. If you're nervous about it, choose not to use them. Only a couple of phones were actually damaged, and that was when they first came out.

Experiencing any lag? And at least you have no problems.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunsparc:
Nope, no lag. Both Sense and AOSP SBC kernels have performed well for me.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Nice, I just ask cuz most complain of the wake lag, or it stalls every now and then.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rugedraw:
I didn't notice lag on the Sense rom/SBC kernel combo I played with recently, but it would stall more often than I remember with any other kernel I've used and the phone would automatically do a hot restart to get itself going again. I also noticed my phone would run much hotter than usual. It would often go over 100 F just sitting on the table while doing nothing.

Some people swear by SBC, though. I'll pass on it.
