vodafone live on v1240(i-mate sp5)

damo86

Hi Guys

anyone got vodafone live to work on their v1240/I-mate sp5 etc?
Could it be due to vodafone not seeing as a supported handset?
Another question is that I cant seem to get mms working either?

Regards

Funny, I've the same phone and I got a notification yesterday that I've been sent an MMS but can't figure out how to download it, either! It keeps trying but failing, even though I entered the O2 MMS settings from the "Settings" sticky on Mobiles/PDA. I did notice that there are other settings to be entered (Windows -> More -> Settings -> Connections -> GPRS) but I didn't think they had anything to do with downloading MMSes?

Damo86, are you on O2 or Vodafone, out of interest?

damo86

I'm on vodafone, I found where to put the mms settings (mail-menu-options-account options-mms-menu-mmsc settings..phew)

The path that you found I believe is for vodafone live, internet isp settings totally seperate from mms

did you get a vodafone branded handset ?

If so the MMS/WEB/GPRS settings should be on it, also if that was not the case get onto vodafone support and they should have a cabinet file that when executed should put all settings in place.

I have the SP5 and took quite some time to get the settings for O2, I am currently awaiting the O2 XDA IQ ROM to be released in order to have everything need.

Flying,

could you tell me how you got your SP5 to work with GPRS / MMS on O2? I've tried the settings from boards but mustn't have them quite the correct order on the SP5 as I can't get anything to work bar regular texts and phone calls!

To give a reference, this is what I've set up for O2MMS (I'm on SpeakEasy)
Name: 02 MMS
MMSC URL: http://mmsc.mms.o2.ie:8002
WAP Gateway: 62.40.32.40
Port: 8080 (I had this wrong earlier - but have no reception where I am at the moment to test 8080)
Connect Via: WAP Network
Max Sending Size: 100k
WAP Version: WAP 2.0

Is this what you have for your settings also?

Cheers...

I remember reading somewhere that for WM5 mobiles to work with O2 Ireland's MMS you need to use the WAP 1.2 and not 2.0 settings

byrnefm

That was it!!! WAP 1.2 needed to be set, not 2.0. FYI, the other settings I ended up using were:

Name: O2 MMS
MMSC URL: http://mmsc.mms.o2.ie:8002
WAP Gateway: 192.168.90.74
Port: 9201
Connect Via WAP Gateway
WAP Version: 1.2

I also had set up PAYG WAP settings under Settings -> GPRS Connections:
Connects to: WAP Gateway
Access point: pp.wap.o2.ie
User name: gprs
Password: gprs
Primary DNS: 0.0.0.0
Secondary DNS: 0.0.0.0

I still can't get anything else to work, such as WAP itself under either CSD or GPRS or the Internet under GPRS (I've had my SIM enabled for the latter) but at least this is a start ... I wish O2's settings sender would work, though!

its the vodafone branded one but bought on ebay so has uk settings on it.will have a look for the cab file.
got the internet gprs to work but still having problems with mms .

damo86

Hi there

I got the mms working but still have problems with wap
I need the wap(connections-gprs-wap settings) and wap proxy settings(connections-proxy-wap proxy settings),

I doubt it
Vodafone live only works on vodafone live handsets. The browser sends it the handset type and only allows live handsets to browse the live portal.

Also afaik the brower on the v1240 (yep I have one too) is a web browser, not a wap browser so it will load the html page where the website has both.
i.e google.com detects the browser type and directs to wap site/web site/pda site accordingly .. the v1240 would be directed to the pda site...

MMS should work fine .. does on mine.

BTW selling it if anyone interested

skearon

Well Vodafone Ireland are selling it here:

http://www.vodafone.ie/phonestariffs/ourphones/phonedetails.jsp?mysterons=V1240

Would they sell a phone that doesn't work with their Live system?

Does the Vodafone IE V1240 have different firmware from the UK version?

damo86

Internet explorer mobile is defo a wap browser, the above statement is true!
Not sure about firmware,i guess its the same.
waiting for timeout to get back to me!

Hmm, I managed to mess up my O2 MMS settings again - typed in those from what I had listed but must have messed with the Proxy or something... Grrr! Can't understand why they made it so complicated...

If anyone knows what I'm missing, please let me know...

Right
Vodafone WAP
Connects To: WAP Network
Access point: wap.vodafone.ie
user name: vodafone
password: started but guess vodafone
Primary DNS: 0.0.0.0
Secondary DNS: 0.0.0.0
IP Address:


Proxy - Nothing listed.

Timeout,

are those settings for GPRS WAP for Vodafone or for MMS? I've managed to figure out how to connect to the Internet, MMS and CSD WAP on the V1240 with O2 but I think I've most of the GPRS WAP settings correct (it'll connect), it fails after trying to locate any wap page I give it. If I could get someone's Vodafone Ireland V1240 GPRS WAP settings (and if they use a proxy), I might be able to figure out the O2 GPRS WAP settings from that.

just found out that v1240 doesnt support live!, it uses ordinary wap,
vodafone sent me exact instructions on how to put the settings.so i will post this when i get.hopefully that should help you out!

Cool - look forward to getting them! It shouldn't be so complicated to get a phone set up... Once I have your settings and sort out out the final parts on mine, I'll post mine also. I also got email going last night (well, O2.ie, anyway).

Superb! I'll have a close read through these tonight and see if I can finally work out the remaining O2 settings and report back here. I really think these should be added to the Operator Settings sticky, seeing as this stuff is so hard to figure out by trial and error!
