Rogers Canada MMS/SMS/GPRS Settings?
Hi sorry if I sound like a real newbie but I am. I have only used a Blackberry for the last 5 years and nothing else.
I currently have a Blackberry on Rogers in Canada, and will be getting my Dash tomorrow, I will unlock it with imei-check, what else do I need to do in order to have it work like my blackberry, I get my email from a couple pop accounts and my work outlook which does support owa web mail. right now I sync my calendar and contacts with desktop manager.
Is it worth installing BB Connect and just get my emails like on my blackberry or is it better it use the Dash email tools? when using the Dash can I change my reply to address depending on the email account I recieved the email in?
How do I find my rogers settings for MMS/SMS/GPRS??
Thanks for any help! This forum is awesome!

You should be able to point your ActiveSync server to your OWA server at work. Generally that works just like your BBerry if you enable Push Email (under the comm manager on your dash).
Thanks I tried that, but it won't let me sync to the owa server for some reason, most likely my it guys have blocked it.
I installed BB Connect and it wirks for receiving but I can not send it is greyed out.
here are the settings:
Click Start/Settings/Connections/GPRS
click Menu, choose Add

Access point: goam.com
User name: wapuser1
Password: wap
Primary/Secondary DNS: 0.0.0.0 (leave unchanged)
Ip address: 172.025.015.041
When you finish click Done.
Then make another new connection:
Description: Rogers Internet
Connects to: the internet
Access point: internet.com (vpn.com - for those like me who pay extra $10/mth. for real IP address)
User name: wapuser1

Everything under leave blank
After you click Done create one more new connection:
Description: Rogers MMS
Connects to: WAP Network
Access point: media.com
username: media
password: mda01
Pri-dns: leave blank
sec-dns: leave blank
ip address: leave blank
When you finish click Done.
From the connections menu select "Proxy"

Click Done.
(Proxy connection is not mandatory - things will work without it too)
Then go to home screen, click Start/Settings/Connections click on Menu select Advanced
Internet connection:
Automatic
Work connection:
Automatic
Wap connection:

(it may be already like this)
Then launch Messaging (press on that button with the letter)

Thanks very much!!
I've entered all the settings you've listed and have been able to send an MMS, but cannot receive. Any thoughts as to why? It appears that the device won't connect to retrieve any messages.

It appears the problem was with my SIM card the whole time. I can't receive MMS on any phone, Rogers branded or not. Once I put my wife's SIM int he phone, the normal settings I've been trying worked perfectly the first time.
GPRS usage monitor that works?
Can someone tell of any GPRS usage monitor programs that work on the Excalibur?
Never mind.
I found out that Efficasoft makes a special version for the DASh and some other phones here:
http://www.efficasoft.com/gprsmonitor_w.html
efficasoft
smartphone gprs traffic monitor
ver. 3.51w
I'vwe noticed that even when not having anything coming in, the counter slowly creeps up.
Never mind.
I was reading it wrong. I've only used 1.74Kb.
The other figure was the projected month usage at the current rate.
did anyone managed to get the today plugin working in other homescreens?
when I put it in my homescreen it is always on the very left position on the screen.
Well these are the settings provided by my service provider .. but i dont knw whr to appy this.....????

Hey folks! I have an HTC Hermes running WM6 with wap connection (behind Proxy). I've been facing two problems with my connection every since I started using HTC products:
1) I cannot setup my Gmail account on outlook. I have tried every possible way, and I read so many threads but nothing seems to work.
2) Weather on HTC Homeplug doesn't work, even on the N2A patched one.
I hope those problems are solvable. I think it has something to do with my wap connection( I live in lebanon, using ALFA service, if any lebanese guys are reading this and have made those two things work, please post the settings/work around)
I appreciate any help and thanks in advance....
I'm not living in Lebanon but I have a Hermes device and I had no trouble at all setting up my gmail account, it even grabs the settings automatically. I don't know where your problem is stuck but it could be in the proxy settings.
sure everything can be solved. which ROM are you using and which Radio version?
I'm using Schap's 4.31 and radio 1.16.00.00
however i dont think it has anything to do with those things, i'm positive it's a matter of proxy settings
Are you sure the PROXY you defined is used for INTERNET?
most service providers use the PROXY for WAP only.
Call your service provider and ask them
I think you`ll get the answer from them.
I know it's for wap only, isn't there a way to make those things work over wap though?

It depends if your service provider allows it.
here in Israel we have one provider that allows access to the WWW using the WAP protocol and another Provider that blocks all DATA other then their own WAP site.
I checked the connection setup app on my device and found that it has the settings for <Lebanon/Alfa>. I think if you use this application, you might not be in need to setup any proxy.
if nothing works for you, then -as elivne said- calling your customer service would be a good solution
PS be careful with your mobile bill!

I'm sorry to say that it didn't work..By the way I've tried it before and I did try it today,unfortunately it didn't work!
I asked this n another thread, but no joy.
I installed the latest Kavana ROM, works GREAT. Thanks for that.
But, some questions.
I'd like to understand how all the networks and proxy things work.
I understand how proxy servers work for the PC world, but I don't understand all the various connections and proxies on the smartphone.
I'm on T-mobile, and I used the connection wizard. But then MMS and SMS weren't working quite right, so I applied some other settings from some other posts and right now, it all (IE, SMS, MMS) seems to work.
But, I am not at all confident I could reproduce this if I had to flatten the device again. Is there something I can read to understand the relative significance of all the various named networks: "work" "TMobile MMS" "Tmobile Data" "WAP Network" "Secure WAP Network" and "The Internet" and also the various proxies that route to these various networks?
Do I really need all the connections - I have like 7 of them.
The new-inet:1118 proxy - what is that for?
That hostname, is it really meaningful?
I also have a new-corp:1159 proxy,
with a name of HTTP:{3F31657F... (etc etc guid)}
What is THAT thing for?
I'd feel better if I understood all these settings, when and why I need a proxy. etc etc . thanks for pointers.
Anyone know?
Anyone know the answer to this? anyone have any clues to offer me?
I'm also having trouble w/ the MMS after installing Ricky's ROM. Are you able to pull the MMS settings from your phone and share? Otherwise, does anyone else know all of the settings?

These cryptic settings come from active sync. I see them if I allow my DASH to sync with my office Windows XP machine with networking enabled. and my office trys to use the network my Dash is on. Once these entries are created, I can not use my t-mo net connection (cheap version). But it is all fine, once I delete these unknown entries.
My MMS Settings
Here's what I did to get MMS to work, in and out.
I am using Kavana 1.33 ROM.
1. set up 2 connections:
Start...Settings....Connections....GPRS
Now, either add a New item, or edit an existing one.
Description: T-Mo Web or T-Mo Data or something else similarly descriptive
Connects to: The Internet
Access point: internet2.voicestream.com
Username: <blank>
Password: <blank>
Authentication Type: None
Primary DNS: 0.0.0.0
Secondary DNS: 0.0.0.0
IP Address: <blank>
Done
[the above gets you a connection to the Internet ]
Again, either add a New item, or edit an existing one.
Name: T-Mo WAP or T-Mo MMS or something descriptive
Connects To: WAP Network
Access Point: wap.voicestream.net
[everything else as above]
Done
[the above gets you a connection to the T-mobile WAP network]
Done
[you are in Settings...Connections, now.]
2. set up one proxy
Scroll to "Proxy"
[this is also reachable directly from home screen via: Start...Settings....Connections....Proxy]
New.... or Edit an existing (your preference)
Name: Tmo WAP->Internet
Connects from: Wap Network
Connects To: The Internet
Proxy: 216.155.165.50:8080
Type: HTTP
Username: <blank>
Password: <blank>
Done
[the above sets up a proxy connection for your SMS/MMS]
Done
[you are in Settings...Connections, now.]
3. Set up SMS preferences
Scroll to "SMS Service"
[this is also reachable directly from home screen via: Start...Settings....Connections....SMS Service]
SMS over: GPRS Preferred
Done
[your are now back in Settings...Connections]
Pess the red "call end" button.
[you are now back on the home screen]
4. Set up MMS on the device:
Start...Messaging
scroll to MMS
Menu...Settings...
Menu (again)
MMSC Settings
Menu...New or Menu....Edit (your pleasure).
[the settings for this MMSC thing should be:]
Name: whatever you like, I used "Picture Messaging"
MMSC URL: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
WAP Gateway: 216.155.165.50
Port: 8080
Connect Via: WAP Network
Max. Sending Size: 300k (or whatever you prefer)
WAP version: WAP 2.0
Done
Done
Done
HOME
5. set up IE
Start...Internet Explorer
Menu...Tools...Options...Connections
Automatically Detect Settings - This works either way for me, checked or unchecked
Select network: The Internet.
Done
Done
----
All of the above allows me to send out SMS and MMS messages, and receive in such messages, as welll as surf the internet from IE.
I have the $19.99/month T-Mobile internet plan in the USA.
If you have the $5.99 T-zones plan, then I think your settings may be different.
Search elsewhere for that.
ActiveSync creates new-inet and new-corp proxies?

Are you sure? Are you sure those things come from ActiveSync and are not just in the Kavana ROM? I use Windows Vista, and the Windows Mobile Device Center, which is the replacement for Activesync. I have never used WinXP and ActiveSync (on the PC) with this device, but I did have those weird entries. I don't see those odd proxy entries get recreated when I sync with Vista+WMDC.
I assuming that the odd proxy entries that reference "new-corp" and "new-inet", were just "in" the ROM by default. Or maybe they were set up when I ran the Internet Connection Wizard which is in the ROM. I don't know for sure. This is why I am asking you, ARE YOU SURE that those entries come from ActiveSync?
Do they return *every time* you sync?
In any case, lacking any real response from the board, I removed the proxy entries from my device, and for me at least, everything still works - SMS, MMS, Internet, etc.
I hate the fact that this still feels so mysterious.
-Cheeso
Damn. I put in all of these settings exactly as shown and still get an "Error Synchronizing" message when I try and send/receive MMS messages. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm on T-Mobile, $20 plan w/ Ricky's 6.1.
Kavana ROM, t-zones plan. My opera mini, PIE are all working fine on GPRS. But the imap gmail, yahoo mail etc are not working on GPRS. The mails though work fine on Wifi ?
How can I make IMAP gmail work on GPRS. Look like they are trying to access wifi instead of GPRS.
Any hint.
Thanks
Now the mails are not working even in wifi. Please help.
I found some fix.
I have this config.
Start Menu -> Settings -> Connections -> GPRS ->
T-Mobile Data
Connects to: WAP Network
Access point: wap.voicestream.com
User name: <blank>
Password: <blank>
Primary DNS: 0.0.0.0
Secondary DNS: 0.0.0.0
IP address: <blank>
Now if I set "Connects to:" WAP n/w, then the PIE works on GPRS but messaging (yahoo etc) doesn't work on GPRS, but if I set it "Internet" then messaging works on GPRS, but PIE does not work on GPRS.
Any way I can make both of them work ?
Thanks
my t-mobile touch pro 2 only allow me to set up one hotmail e-mail account a time, so i need to log out one and sign in again to check other hotmail e-mail. is there away i can set up and view 2 or more hotmail at the same time?
Don't use MSN Messenger or Windows Live to create Hotmail Accounts
Don't use MSN to create the account... set it up manually in Pocket Outlook (and don't let it look for settings). To do this you might need to put a different domain for your email address in the first box when creating an account and then ammend it later.
Then use Hotmail/Live/MSN pop3 & Smtp settings:
Incoming Server (POP3 Server): pop3.live.com
Incoming Server POP SSL Encryption: Yes (On or Required)
Outgoing Server (SMTP Server): smtp.live.com
Outgoing Server Authentication: Yes (On – Use POP username and password or Hotmail credentials)
Outgoing Server TLS or SSL Secure Encrypted Connection: Yes (On or Required)
User Name: Windows Live ID (e.g. [email protected])
Password: password used to sign in to Hotmail or Windows Live service
Or what about System Seven?
I use it and I believe it'll let you set up multiple accounts with multiple flavours and will push your emails so they arrive like sms, live.
VERY easy to set up and use. All you have to do is enter your address and password. Only down side is that it occasionally forgets Hotmail (but not other providers in my experience) passwords. But you just have to type it in again.
But it's beta, so it's not meant to be perfect. But it is free and I definitely recommended it.
Google it
That works! thanks
