Finally got MMS working in Australia

Hello forum members..

just an update.. after 3 LONG months of trying to get MMS working on my meizu m8.. I FINALLY GOT IT WORKING IN AUSTRALIA WITH VODAFONE !!!

I hope everyone else having the same problem resolves this.. Here is what i did..

I CAN SEND AND RECIEVE MMS !!!!! :D :D

Firstly i am using FW 0.9.3.6

I have M8 SPRITE 1.3.3 installed..

so this is what i did..

SETTINGS - GPRS - then i made 2 new profiles..

Profile 1:
Name: VODAFONE PXT
Apn: live.vodafone.com
User Name: ( Leave blank )
Password: ( Leave blank )
Proxy Sever: 10.202.2.60
Port: 8080
Server: http://pxt.vodafone.net.au/pxtsend

Profile 2:
Name: VODAFONE LIVE
Apn: vfinternet.au
User Name: ( Leave blank )
Password: ( Leave blank )
Proxy Server: 10.202.2.60
Port: 8080
Server: ( live.vodafone.com ) - do NOT put the ( )
Make sure you save the profiles just created.

(m8 sprite)
Make sure GPRS, International are ON
make sure Call First is OFF.

THEN:
go to MESSAGES - SETTINGS - APN and select VODAFONE PXT ( make sure blue dot is next to it - this lets you know it is selected )

THEN:
go to M8 SPRITE - SYSTEM - REGISTRY EDITOR - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - SOFTWARE - Meizu - Sms and these are my settings

ApName:
VODAFONE.PXT

ThreadID:

THEN:
M8 SPRITE - FILE ASSOCIATIONS - txtfile - then ADD / REMOVE and add .ini then click save..

MAKE SURE YOU SAVE THESE CHANGES.. RESTART YOUR PHONE AND THATS IT WORKS !!!!

Note:
Im still trying to work out how to get vodafone live to work..

Special thanks to cri_sor2002 for helping me in the other posts regarding this !!

Hi! You are wellcome globalbargains! I am glad that it works for you. I still have some issues: in my opinion if you have at APN Name: Vodafone PXT so, at GPRSConnect you should have live.vodafone.com because it is apn of Vodafone PXT profile. In fact i think that you are using for MMS send or receive, the apn: vfinternet.com so you are using Vodafone Live for sending and receiving MMS. Maibe you are using internet connection for data transfer of MMS. So, if you have a certain traffic quantity of MB included in vodafone live service, it may be possible to absorb that quantity of MB (KB for MMS) from your included traffic of internet. What i want to say is that you may be using internet data transfer for MMS and not perceive MMS as standard multimedia message and payed as MMS but as internet data transfer. I hope you understand what i am saying because i start to loose my line of thoughts. I will try to explain in my case: as i told you before i have active an extraoption named Mobile Internet and i have 10 MB traffic included. So if i send and receive MMS through apn: internet.vodafone.ro and not the settings for MMS (apn:mms.vodafone.ro) so in this case the amount of KB used for MMS are absorbed from initial 10 MB traffic included. If you have unlimited internet it's ok but if not and you might use MMS a lot, it will decrease your amount of MB traffic reserved for internet.
What i have said It's an ideea that it could be true. I am not 100% sure but it is possible. Maybe if you follow the gprs usage from Settings, Usage, GPRS network data, before and after you send or receive MMS and that data change, it is possible to be true what i have just enounced.

hi global, sounds promising will give it a go today and let everyone know how it goes

doesn't seem to work on 0.9.3.3, upgrading to 0.9.3.6...

It worked!!! So must have 0.9.3.6

Also I left 'ThreadID:' registry entry as is, did not change to what you supplied (156565514)

Nice that more and more people get MMS to work!

I got this little question about it all, because Netcom (my provider) uses two totally different settings for GPRS and MMS.

Code:

* Name: NetComGPRS
* APN: netcom
* Proxy: 010.254.254.010
* Port: 8080
* Username: wap
* Password: netcom

Code:

* Name: NetComMMS
* APN: netcom
* Proxy: not set/blank
* Port: not set/blank
* Username: mms
* Password: netcom
* Server: not set/blank
* MMSC: http://mm/
* MMS proxy: 212.169.66.4
* MMS port: 8080

In the settings -> gprs -> I just plot in what it says in these steps, but when I am going in to the registry to edit everything there, I start to wonder what should be where.

Code:

* ApName: NetcomMMS (The same as the name of the MMS settings I made?)
* GPRSConnect: NetcomGPRS (Should this be the name of the GPRS connection?
* GPRSUser: netcom (I thought it might be the same as in GPRS connection)
* GPRSPassword: netcom (the same as the password in the GPRS connection)
* ProxyIP: 212.169.66.4 (The proxy ip for the MMS connection)
* ProxyPort: 8080 (Still from MMS connection)
* ServerAddress: http://mm/ (The MMSC?)

Could someone verify if this is how it should be? Does it look logic to any of you? It doesn't make sense to me
Please give me some other examples on how to do this

By the way, I'm at fw 0.9.3.6

hi, grateful if somebody could help. is there a way of getting m8 to work with virgin mobile?

thanks

Wish I could tweak with tmobile usa. I did it right once and sent and received once been upgrading this phone so much I lost my info and did not save it on my computer.

hi everyone, first post.

thanks for sharing your info globalbargains. I can also confirm that this works. I have a m8 SE 9.3.7.

So now i have web and mms to work. global, were you unable to get the web to work or just vodafone live?

Ive seen some of your other posts on the forum and was wondering

hi, grateful if somebody could help. is there a way of getting m8 to work with virgin mobile?

thanks

Im pretty sure i read somewhere else in the forums where someone had posted the settings for virgin, unless you are still having trouble?

hi guys, with these settings Vodafone Live works for me.. i can also access the internet with the settings aswell, but as i am on prepaid ( pay as you go ) the rates are high

I'm using Vodafone Au also, base on your settings, I have to remove the proxy(just leave if blank) to make GPRS working, still working on MMS.

my current \windows\UsrConnectNode.ini as below:
[VODAFONE PXT]
IsSelect=0
APN=live.vodafone.com
NAME=
PASSWORD=
AGENCY=10.202.2.60
PORT=8080
MMSC=http://pxt.vodafone.net.au/pxtsend
[VODAFONE LIVE]
IsSelect=1
APN=vfinternet.au
NAME=
PASSWORD=
AGENCY=
PORT=8080
MMSC=live.vodafone.com

hello guys and girls, the settings i used above work, i can access vodafone live ( its not fast but still does the job ), send MMS, BUT when i recieve a MMS it says " Download MMS" - when i click on DOWNLOAD nothing happens. im still trying to get this to work

EDGE works aswell !!!

Yeah likewise I can also receive but when i click download, nothing happens =/ i can send fine, but receiving is a different matter.

any thoughts?

edit: looks like it might be a bug in the firmware, after some searching around the forums. apparently firmware 0.9.1.7 works with MMS, but i havnt tried it =/

This doesnt work for me....i changed all the settings like you instructed, and when i press 'send', my meizu goes through the motions of sending the MMS but at the very end it says "Send Fail!"

WHYYYYY. WHYYY SEND FAIL.?!

i got it working for Crazy Johns/Gotalk prepaid on firmware 0.9.7.1
