SPV C550 IN THE UNITED STATES.

[Guest xtacybyme]

Hi i've been a user of spv's since the E100-200

Recently here in the usa its getting to be a big thing to send picture messages via text. i have contacted tmobile and all my settings are correct for the network to send but every time i send i get a free up memory error.

All my sms, email etc are cleaned but still says free up memory. any ideas guys? is there away for me to default mms to my 2 gig sd card? what is happening here? is there a workaround?

I dont have internet access(payed access) but tmobile sayed i should be able to send and recieve mms via text messaging with the settings they gave me. and they said its a phone problem due to the memory error i'm getting

Hope someone can help me? or guide me in the right direction. i know it will be difficult due to you all being over seas, but from what i've read here many of you over seas have run into mms size issues as well. Any workaround yet? sure fire fix?

Thanks for your time and help

You probably need to check your phone memory.

Have you tried deleting unwanted programs, ringtones, homescreens, etc from the phone memory ?

Also when deleting SMS or MMS messages you may need to go to options-folders and delete them again from the deleted-items folder.

[Guest xtacybyme]

thank you martin for the reply,

yes i have deleted all messages. my phones available storage is 2.92 mb total is 26.97 mb available memory is 31.36mb total is 51.60

any other ideas? would really like to figure this out, cause alot of people have been texting my pictures and i cant view them, or send them back.

thanks again for the reply.

The available phone storage memory of 2.92mb is a bit low. I would still go through all the directories on the phone memory and see what can be moved/deleted. There could be photo's, video's, programs etc that should be stored to SD card instead. Hopefully the MMS program will start working again when a specified amount of memory is available.

It's best to keep all available phone (storage) memory free as many applications need to use that memory.

[Guest xtacybyme]

any way to see where the phones memory usage has went? i have erased all email\sms\call history\speed dial voice notes, and it still says total storage (flash) storage 26.97mn used 24.09 MB free 2.88MB.

in programs i have sp taskmanager, gpc media player tweak, gpc, mp3 fix, gpc sound fix, gpc volume dialog fix, gpc wma fix, mossywell copy files, tcpmp the core pocket player, and virtuoffice photoplug.

where can i free up memory? how can i tell where else it might be being used?

I just plugged phone in and under storage sounds i copied all my ringtones to desktop and the total file size is 17.6 MB. Can i transfer all my ringtones to my sd card? and will they work when people call? maybe this is my fix? if so... is there a link for a registry edit for my ringtones? so when people call i will still hear there ringtones but it will be coming from storage card instead of phones memory? When i mention ringtone, i mean all the ringtones. or is having a ringtone on sd card mean only one ringtone would work?

Thanks Martin

What you could do is something like this.

1 load Smart Explorer from to the phone (or SD card)

2 Highlight a directory and the select File-Properties. This will give you the total memory usage for all files under that directory.

3 Enter a directory containing high memory usage (ignoring the main windows directory and SD card)

4 Check the files sizes

5 Check the sub-directory sizes. And so on until you trace either very large files or a high number of files taking up a lot of memory.

It sound like you ringtones may be the problem.

You could try transfering them to the My documents folder on the SD card but they won't be able to be used as specific ringtones in the contact data.

HELLO ALL I FIGURED OUT THE SETTINGS FOR SPV MMS PICTURE MESSAGING FOR TMOBILE

So i thought i would give back to the modaco community and to the USA users.

hope this helps some of you. i have also forwarded these directions to T-mobile themselves. and there tier 3 support, XDA\pda support may be able to give you further help if these don't work.

instructions are as follows

How to configure Smartphone for T-Mobile

(MY MODEL ORANGE SPV-C550) This may also work with other SPV models, c500,e100, e200, and newer models, if from the U.K and an orange network phone unlocked for T-mobile.

LINK TO COMPANY-

http://www.orange.ch/vrtmobilephones/offer...nes/guidesLinks (for SPV C550 DOCUMENTATION SCROLL TO BOTTOM)

Go into data connections, Start, settings, data connections.

Internet choose t-mobile

Work connection - choose automatic

WAP connection - choose T-mobile

Secure Wap Connection - Automatic

Choose menu - options

Redial attempts-3

Idle disconnect after - 10 minutes

My desktop connects to - the Internet

Hit done, hit menu, edit connections, dialup connections hit joystick-delete everything hit done, VPN connections hit joystick-delete everything hit done

Proxy connections, delete everything, then menu, new,

Connects from -the Internet,

Connects to - WAP network,

Proxy (name:port) - 216.155.165.050,

Type - WAP,

Username\password - EMPTY. Hit done. Hit done

Should be back to connections use joystick select gprs hit joystick delete everything,

Then choose menu add

Connects to - the Internet,

Username\password-blank,

Primary dns - 216.155.175.40,

Secondary dns - 216.155.175.170,

Next go to to home screen,(this may be different on your spv, just look for similar steps to finding your mms settings)

Mine is ----> From homescreen, start, more, configurations gprs authentication - choose PAP authentication, hit ok then choose MMS Settings, select the following...Retrieve Immediatelly, no. Of attempts 3, photo resolution original resolution. Then hit menu, MMsc settings hit joystick under mmsc settings delete everything, then under mmsc settings it should be blank use joystick choose menu new,

Port - 8080,

Connect Via - Wap Network,

Max sending size - 100k,

Wap Version- Wap 2.0, hit done under mmsc settings should have one selection named pictureMessaging and should be check mark in front of it, if not use joystick choose menu then set as default.

Next Internet exploer, start Internet exploer, use joystick hit menu, under options use joystick hit connections select -automatically detect settings. Then use joystick select network- Wap Network

And that's required for my SPV on tmobile.

So it was just a case of incorrect settings? Have you added these settings to the Wiki?

Glad you got it sorted.

[Guest xtacybyme]

sorry for my ignorance. what is wiki?

[Guest Confucious]

Sorry, a Wiki is a usere editable resource, Modaco has one. There is a lonk to the Wiki at the top of each Modaco page and it's at http://wiki.modaco.com/index.php/Main_Page

It is relatively new but should build up to hold the sum total of everyones knowledge! If you add what you've found it will be there to help others without having to search through the forum.

Thanks
