[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] JayDA:
If you have struggled to enable MMS on you XDA I then read further...

My XDA

OS: PPC2002

ROM: 3.20.06 ENG

ROM DATE: 07/30/03

RADIO: 4.21.00

Service Provider: OPTUS (Australia)

Software you need: EZWAP ver:2.5 (search google for a download)

Other things before starting: I am under the impression that you need to ask your service provider to enable mms on yor account before it will work? I got my sim-card in Feb 2004, and never asked optus to enable mms on my device (i only asked them for their server settings - which they couldnt give me cuz they suck) Mine works, so i'm assuming its enabled by default. Just ask them anyways.

And finally before we start: This xda is not (to my knowledge) cooked in any way. It is just as i got it.

I've tested this 3 times now, and it worked perfectly every time. Since i'm using optus (prepaid) and i couldnt find ANY details anywhere on the net for optus network MMS settings, i'm posting it here for all who are just as fed up with the lame-ass customer service as i am.

(This is quite a long post, but im taking it hell into detail here. Another thing.. its written in dumbass language so if i say something like "click OK (top right of screen)" then just think of all the newbies :P)

-------------------------------

This should work now when you send or receive MMS messages!!! yayy!

Here are a few problems i've picked up; they might happen to you and then again might not... if anyone has a solution for them please let me know :)

1) When you get a mms message, it will display a notification on your screen. When i choose to 'get now' it just does nothing. I have to go to my inbox and the message is there, then select to download. Not a big problem, but kinda irritating? I think someone else in these forums had the same problem.

2) Whenever i used my phone on my XDA it doesnt allow me to 'close' the phone-application. thus its always running in the background then. It's like i'm just swapping between the today screen and phone. ANyways, the problem is this:

the MMS works as long as i havent used the phone. It seems that the phone application (or connection or whatever) is conflicting with the EzWAP software, or the GPRS connection or something. The only way i can get MMS to work after using the phone is by doing soft-reset. Then everything works fine. I'm guessing that if your phone is closing properly then you wouldnt have this problem at all.

If this has happened to anyone (the phone not closing) and you have fixed it please let us know!

3) This is unrelated to MMS.

I cant do a soft-reset when my SD card (1GB Ridata 66X) is inside the unit. When i do this, i just get a blank white screen. When i take the card out and soft-reset then it works fine. Any ideas?

Thats it, happy MMS'ing!!!

The cost (for anyone interested) of sending a mms message to myself and receiving it was AU$0.60 in total. This is on the OPTUS network, using prepaid.

ok, if this even helped ONE person then i'm happy :)
