Upgraded my M3100 to WM6

[Guest AaronW]

Done the upgrade to Windows Mobile 6. All went well except I have lost some settings. Anyone know what the settings are got web, mms etc? Is there an over the air configurator I could maybe use?

Thansk.

[Guest jimbouk]

You just need to add in the gprs/3g and mms settings. Google for your network's GPRS and MMS settings (or find them here or at the forum where you got the rom from).

Put GPRS/MMS settings in to settings, connections, connections. Then put MMS server details in to MMS settings in messaging, tools, options.

The MMS stuff is correct except the port number should be 9201 not 8080

The data isnt.

Just add a new data connection within My ISP called Orange GPRS, using a cellular line (3g and gprs), apn = orangeinternet, thenh leave everything else blank.

You can add another one called Orange WAP with acces point called orangewap and again leave everything blank.

Then set MY ISP to connect to either AUTO or to the GPRS one (the wap one is useful for thos odd hours when orange's gprs wont connect to the internet apn but the wap one still works!

[Guest jimbouk]

Oh and set your home page to whatever you want... but if you need orange world its something like orangeworld.co.uk with no "www."?

Thanks for that. WHen I change the MMS port to 9201 the WAP version always reverts to 1.2 Anyone else having the same problem?

[Guest jimbouk]

Never noticed that before... but yes mine is 1.2 with that port number... but at least it sends and receives mms.

[Guest martinwilliams999]

All the settings you could want are already here at MoDaCo, thanks to martin (not me!).

Just CLICK HERE to find the settings you want.

Anyone got Orange UK MMS working with WM6?! ... Mine doesn't attempt to dial on a send/recieve, and displays "error synchonizing"

[Guest jimbouk]

Yep mines working fine.

1) Create a new connection called Orange MMS in your Private Network Connections.

Access Point Name: orangemms

Username: Orange

Password: Multimedia

**** NOTE the capital O and M above - they are case sensitive!*****

2) Set Up A new default Server in the MMS settings in Massaging called Orange MMS:

Gateway IP (proxy) address: 192.168.224.10

Port: 9201

MMS Message (Relay) Server URL http://mms.orange.co.uk/

Make sure its set to use Orange MMS (ie the connection above)

Here is a cab file I created which resores the Orange UK internet and MMS settings - very useful after upgrading to WM6!

Have updated file - only use if on contract with Orange UK

How did you do the upgrade to WM6?? I didn't know an upgrade was available.... Orange told me on the phone last week that they have no plans to release an upgrade to WM6 on the SPV M3100 model... ;)

Look for the post started by Lordsmiff (amongst the similar posts box beneath this one) about why the WM6 post was closed - it explains it all.

;)

[Guest pisquee]

Still not working - the settings quoted were the ones I had entered manually, so I then tried the cab and still no joy.

GPRS/EDGE Internet working fine. MMS will dial up and connect if i do it manually, but MMS app will not dial out automatically, and if i try a send/recieve when i connect manaully i still get "error synchonizing"

:-(

Are you still having these problems? If so I have a cab file which sorts out the settings for you - just let me know

if you're on contract, the only setting you need to worry about for internet is orangeinternet for your AP.

for mms it's orangemms, then in the MMS settings page in outlook, you need to configure that with the MMS settings; filesaveas.com has them

Absolutely - I have updated my cab in post #11 if anyone is interested

Good job! Nice n easy now! *bow*

[Guest CongoJoe]

That cab worked great for me but a word of warning.

If like me you have "open access" unlimeted data it only applies via the "orange wap" connection not the "orange internet" connection.

By default the cab above sets it to orange internet.

Just got a MASSIVE bill ;)

Thankfully theyve credited the charges back to me but its worth keeping an eye on this.

[Guest jimbouk]

I ahev unlimited data and use the orangeinternet APN (ie the gprs one) and havent been billed for any data.

Me too.

I think the previous poster must have one of the other 'note quite Orange World Browsing' bundles.

[Guest CongoJoe]

It was an old unlimeted gprs bundle from 2002 thats they still honour.

It shows up on my bill as "orange world open access" i believe.

It works for 3g provided i use the orangewap apn. Everything works the same as orangeinternet (exchange/orb/browsing/vpn) exept it only costs £3.50 a month.

I assumed the newer bundles worked the same but obviously not.

[Guest The Lord Harry]

Thank you for this. Before I install it, could you tell me if it creates an entry for Orange WAP Dial Up? Not a GPRS connection but the one where it dials up a number (like an ancient old modem :) and connects to the internet that way :P

Basically, GPRS is locked down on my SIM card and I'm trying to find another way of connecting to the internet. The GSM dial up option is the only one I can think of!

Thank you.

How could GPRS be locked down on your SIM Card! I remember years ago you had to phone up and have it enabled but other than that you don't make any sense. Send them 100 e-mails to get it enabled or sit two hours on the phone waiting to speak to some idiot that might not know what GPRS means (The pleasures of Orange these days for everybody whos never been with them)

Why would you wish to use GSM Dial-Up?, 28kbps if your lucky and you lose the ability to receive calls while connected (even with Call Waiting) - Granted its probably more reliable than GPRS on Orange

Then you have GPRS, double the speed and *sometimes* stays connected while in a call.

Well thats enough Orange Bashing from me for this week....
