Hello everyone. Just wanted to introduce myself in my first post. My name is Rick and I a proud owner of a new HTC P3300 Artemis. I love this phone! Its so nice to finally have a complete all in one device in my pocket. Now the question I have for you all is how do I get MMS to work on this phone? I tried looking up the settings and no matter what I put in, I can't get it to work. This is T-mobile USA by the way. Thanks for all the help anyone can give me!
Hello, I am also the proud owner of an O2 XDA Orbit (the compatible model of yours) and as much as I love my new phone I am also experiencing the same problem with MMS. Nobody seems to be able to help me with this issue. Were you able to find some answers or solution? I will appreciate it if you let me know. Thank you.
Vodafone Settings cab

I have the o2 Orbit and a Vodafone contract SIM. I lost power the other day and had to input all my Vodafone settings manually. Is it possible to develop a cab file that will do all this for the phone? The cab file could be stored on an SD card. If power is ever lost or a hard reset is required in the future it would then only take a quick fix to update the phone.
I found all the settings at this address (if it helps?)

Hi all.. This is my first post so obviously this is a newbie question! My XDA 2s is not able to recognize the name of my mobile operator here in India, and it shows up as "40468". Is there any tweak by which I can manually feed in the name of the operator so it shows up on the Phone screen?
Just to explain the issue clearly - the number on the top right is where the name of the mobile service provider should show up. Why does it show up as a number (40468) and not as a name, as it did on my Sonyericsson P910i, or indeed other phones? Grateful for any help in this matter.
It's because basically each mobile phone operator is allocated a number (in your case 40468) and inside each phone is a tiny database of operator names/numbers.
I used to think that the operator "sent" the name, but a few years ago now a UK operator changed it's name from "Cellnet" to "BT Cellnet" and then to "O2", however phones wouldn't change. But if you had a newer version of firmware on your phone it would change (so that supports my theory that the database is in the firmware).
I think this also make sense because the operator isn't going to know how many characters are available for showing the name/abbreviating as necessary and so it makes sense for the mobile phone providers to keep their database in sync with the "main" one for who is allocated what as it'll make sure the information is displayed correctly as they can abbreviate as needed for each device.
At least that's how I understand it. So in your case it sounds like your phone doesn't know your provider. Perhaps a newer upgrade might help (1.33 or 1.40?), but I'd just ask your provider. If they sold you the phone it's pretty weird it doesn't support their own network. It might just be a faulty handset :-(
Perhaps post the name of your operator and we can see if anyone else is using them and it works for them
Neil -- many thanks for your reply. When I bought this phone (unlocked) from Kuala Lumpur, it wasn't as yet available in India. Now it is, though. Maybe thats why it doesn't show up all of India's mobile service providers. Anyway, my mobile provider is MTNL in Delhi.
Upgrading ROM to 1.40 may solve the problem, provided its and "Asia" ROM. Is that available yet? Is it possilbe to "cook" the rom to add service providers?
Many thanks for your help Neil.
Well you're using PH20B which is same as my phone is here in the UK and I'm running the 1.40 ROM so technically you shouldn't any problems. I'd wait for someone else to just verify either that A) What I've said about being stored in the phone is correct or B) Some one using MNTL in Delhi to confirm they have/haven't got this problem.
Because if it's a case of it's fine for them and ROM's are same etc it might be a faulty unit (can't really see how!) and a ROM upgrade might not help and since technically these ROM upgrades aren't always official (1.40 probably isn't) you'd probably have to put it back/find previous ROM before you could take it back.
Upgrading to 1.40 isn't really a pain, see the WIKI (top left) it's daunting at first, but it's actually very easy to do, but do it when you have enough time to reinstall everything because doing any sort of ROM upgrade does a hard reset as well (wipes everything in main memory - \Storage and \Storage Card are safe).
I can't guarentee that this would fix your problem, i.e. your provider is in that ROM, but not sure what else to suggest + 1.40 does come with Media Player 10 which is a bit of an added bonus! You can backup your existing ROM, although it's probably already on the FTP, might be handy to have it in advance if you want to go back.
Hope that was some help!
P.S. If you decide to go down the upgrade route, probably worth upgrading your radio at the same time. I'm all the way to 1.12 and it's fine for me, but some people seem to have stayed with 1.10 because they've had some issues - search forum on this)
Neil -- two quick comments.
One, from using cell phones for the last many years, I feel that the code to decipher the cell provider's number is in the phone. This has happened to me before, when I bought phones which were not available in India, and it's happened again! It seems to me it's a ROM issue, as its logical for cell providers to be consistent (i.e. broadcast their identification numbers) and let the phones decipher them.
Two, is there any major danger that I'll lose the phone itself with a ROM upgrade? I know this has been answered in some other threads of this forum, but it'll be a first for me on this newly acquired beauty!
Cheers and many thanks....
example:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\RIL\OperatorNames]
"45404"="3-DUALBAND-"
Hehe, big mamaich spoke... :lol:
Yup, those are PPC's: many things can be done by software... :wink:
This is odd...
Since I upgraded my MDA2 to 2.06.00WWE Radio: 1.14.00 I've seen this problem where the carrier name was changed to a number (in my case 334020).
On my previous ROM version I had no problem at all. And this device does not even exsist in Mexico and it displayed the carrier name (Telcel) without a problem.
I think the carrier name is taken from the network itself and fed to the registry but this particular ROM has problems taking this particular carrier numbers.
If I do a network search I can see the other carrier in my area (Movistar as a number also) and two other United States Carriers (Cingular and AT&T) but this time with their names (I live close to the United States).
To "fix" this I created a GIF file named carrierlogo.gif and place it on the Pocket PC Windows directory and now it shows a nice Telcel logo instead!...
@ Rayan
that looks good! Could you please explain how you did it? The first step obviously was to place it on the Pocket PC Windows directory, but what were the other fixes? Did you tweak the registry? Newbie question... I've been a XDA 2s user only for a few weeks Rayan!!

Mamaich speaks loud and clear! Yup, adding that additional string did the trick! I created a string for my carrier ("40468"="MTNL"), did a soft reset and Voila! It worked! Thank you Mamaich, thank you forum!!
Hi Dilip,
I tried the trick on my PDA2k, but not worked..can u pls elaborate how u hv added the string....or made a new key value in the registry?

it works and thanks to mamaich (he is the greatest) i tried it on my imate jam and worked like a charm.... all u have to do is navigate to
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\RIL\OperatorNames]
using any registry editor like resco..... once u reach OperatorNames create a STRING VALUE
in the Name box write the number that shows in ur dialing pad and in the String box write the name of the operator or any name u want ..... look at the pic ... and u can write it in any lang u want
As shown by PapaDocta above, I added a string to my registery and this is how my phone looks now:
Hi!!!
Thaks, now it worked...I was trying to make a new key value and what not.....but never knew that it was so simple.
Thanks a ton..This helps very much during roaming...
Hi all,
I have recently bought XDA IIS with O2. I wonder if anyone has got the passcode for the O2 Coroporate.
Regards,
Hussam
The code is 0506. This stops O2 Active being installed
many thanks
Thank you so much for your reply and for the code.
Cheers,
Hussam
for xda2i?
does tihis code work for xda2i also?
thanks
yes.
hi
i was just wondering what does the corporate code does, just stopping o2 active being installed, or there are some other benefits, may be you could help.
thanks

O2 Corporate settings
There are also some drawbacks, I had a problem with my O2 GPRS settings going awry.... but managed to for is myself....
O2 Data support told me that I had to do a hard reset.... yeah right !
o2 Data Support are, in my experience, a joke. However, counting a former DS guy as a friend of mine, it isn't normally due to any lacking of understanding on their part. If anything they seem constrained in what they can do by o2.
Yeah the GPRS settings are handy, but if you search on these forums for them it is often hard to find the definitive setup details. We could still use an FAQ section...talk about that seems to have died again, despite my (amongst many others) offer of help to set these up.
Cheers

Will this work for my xda 11, if not what will
thanks

First off, THANK YOU to all who contribute here. This site has been ALOT of help.
Question...
I upgraded to WWE 1.42 Rom to have the blackberry...
Problem is now Activesync will and will not sync calendar.
I've read a few posts on going into bb and checking and unchecking pim calendr sync. but even when it does sync, after taken out of the cradle it will delete all calendar entries on the BA.
I've not read any fixes for this, so I am asking the community for help.
Also since upgrading to 1.42, I've noticed a significant lag..
I have SPB 3.0, Phone Alarm, Screen Lock, and an upgraged calendar. all were on prior to upgrade and BB connect.
I'm on US tmobile if that helps, and am recieveing bb emails straight to my phone. Thanks in advance for any help!
I Have exactly the same problem I am on t mobile uk This problem has also only occured since i used the up grade.
I have found the problem i think but dont know how to solve.
I have down graded the phone to the old rom and in the instant email settings there is no Rim Settings. It looks to me as if the Rim setting and MS Sync are fighting for control of the Calander, Which causes the pairing with the pc to be deleted.
So i will stick with the old rom for now although its not as good ie cant get mail alert sound etc.
Anyone have any other ideas please post.
Also one otherthing i have noticed when the phone is in the cradle it cant collect email via blckberry.
Seems t-mobile are no help at all
Thanks for reading this
Merry festive season to you all
excell99a,
does the old rom that you are using have blackberry instant email? if so which one?
Yes it does have instant email
its MDA3_TMUK_v106160_SHIP0307.exe
There is a link in the downloads
You also have to add the Camera2K5_v1 to get the camera to work
This fault has been fixed in the new ROM released yesterday by O2. It has an updated version of the blackberry client.
http://www.my-xda.com/xda2s_soft.html
Sorry
This is for Xda II ?
Will it work for t-mobile MDA III ?
Its for Xda IIs which is HTC blueangel.
You may need to get the t-mobile version (if they have it). At least you know there is a fixed version from RIM so its possbile for t-mobile to release it.
I'll confirm this IS a working rom with WORKING BB Connect!! no more Calendar and Activesync issues!! EVEN after soft resets!! I downgraded from 1.42 to this 1.40, love it!!
I have been unable to load the O2 ROM on to t-mobile UK MDA III. Get country error code
Does anyone know if T-mobile are fixing this or is there an easy way to get the o2 Rom to load
Hi Guys, 1st post and maybe the worst?! I have just upgraded to the ARTEMIS TOUCH 2.1 WWE, and I forgot to save the File/Folder called O2 UK Settings, it had the O2 Ringtone and GPRS settings etc.. Could someone post a copy please. Many thanks, still finding my way round. V. Nice work though.
u mean these settings?
http://www.filesaveas.com/gprs.html
looks like all the wap + gprs settings for all providers in the UK
doesnt have the ringtone tho
No, I have seen this site on my search, I think what I am looking for was an actual programme that was found in the programme functions that took you to a blue screen asking if you wished to reset to o2 settings now.
Hi all I've been a member here since my first HTC8525 and all of you have helped me tremendously. But today I believe I need to ask for help. I just recently purchased a T-mobile HTC Touchpro 2 and brought it back to Canada to run on the Rogers network. I have unlocked the phone and set up everything fine. My only problem is that I cannot change the MMS setting in the phone Tmob has locked them out. Could anyone point me in the right direction. I have searched the threads and to no avail. Any help at all is greatly appricated. Sorry if i am repeating earlier threads.
same issue here, im trying to change the setting on my tp2 but it is locked for changes, i cant even add a new setting.
i did the changes when i had my tilt 2 but here i can't any help please.
thanks in advance
sorry for posting it when the answer was already there. but anyway you can change some of the settings via registry.
hkey local machine/software/arcsoft mms ua/config/
hope it's helpfull
then what
what other steps do you take after that?
Unlocking the device via Hard SPL to accept other ROMs will allow you to flash any of a ton of ROMs for this device that allow editing of MMS settings. Most custom ROMs are faster, lighter, and generally prettier than the stock one. Otherwise, as I recall, you'll need the IP address from the cell network to change the MMS gateway in the registry. Good luck getting that from a carrier.
