  • "Get media content now" without data connection?

    Hi all.
    I have a prepaid sim in my Lumia because I use it very little. When I got my Lumia charged and running 2 weeks ago, I had the equivalent of over $240 credit on my SIM card, "Data connection" was switched on and once the Lumia was running, I sent one single text message with the word "testing" to my daughter. Next day I was horrified when my provider sent me a message "you have less than 10 Francs credit". I called Swisscom and they told me that the day before, my Lumia had gobbled up more than the equivalent of $150 and that THAT day so far it had used up over $80. I felt absolutely sick. Normally 100 Swiss Francs lasts me for a year.
    They told me to switch off the Data connection and just use wifi. But now, when my daughter sends me a picture, I just get that blasted "Get media content now" message.
    I simply cannot afford the data connection. I could get images and multimedia content messages fine with my late departed and much-missed E7 and even my old Communicator could pick up multi-media via wifi. so why the step back with the Lumia ??? And is there any way I can get e.g. multimedia images without a data connection (I already tried the aircraft mode on/off trick with no luck).
    Our entire family have been Nokia customers since they first made mobile phones but by now I am the only one of us who has persevered (thanks to the Communicator then the E7)  but I hate this bloody Lumia 900 thing which I received as a replacement for my non-charging E7. I swear I am going to put it on ebay and get myself an Iphone and will never buy a Nokia again.

    The 150+ SFr was presumably from a phone software update. I didn't send an MMS message but an SMS = one word only.
    I checked that the wifi icon was on at all times but the Nokia seems to look first for G3. Because Nokia didn't even have the courtesy of sending me a manual or user instructions of any kind (or charger or SIM removal pin or headphones) when they sent me this phone, I didn't think of checking the data connection setting to be honest.
    Last night I wasted a further 7 hours trying to install Zune on my XP PC.. It said it couldn't install because Media Centre needed updating to Rollup 2 or later. I already HAVE all the Media Centre updates, went to Microsoft, wanted to download it again, they wanted verification but when I ran their verification tool I was told that the verification tool was outdated and to use the later version - yes, and that on the Microsoft website..
    After 7 hrs of going round in circles, I went to bed at 5 a.m. and today went to Swisscom and got myself an Iphone 4. I have better things to do than to spend 7 hours trying to install software..
    OK, it's another rant but I am mightily dissatisfied with Nokia - even the keypad keeps rolling itself up when I try to enter something. so to enter a 10 digit phone number takes a total of about 30+ taps because the damn keypad disappears before I can tap on a number. Incredible.  

  • Get media content now

    Received my Lumia 920 a week ago, I have been fighting with Vodacom in South Africa for 5 days now around getting MMS working. Vodacom say its Nokia who have to provide me with the MMS settings but I cannot find any solution to getting MMS working on the Vodacom network. If I try send a MMS, I get an error saying my message cannot be sent and when I receive a message it says "Get media content now", if I click on the message, the phone reports "getting media content" it plays a sound but nothing further happens, I then receive repeated notifications saying "Get media content now" about 10 or 15 times over a period of an hour, any help would be appreciated

    Did you check the Settings>access point?  In many cases the correct settings are in the app database an will setup automatically. You might want to do a search on these forums as this has been covered many times before. If this app is missing scan the QR code below on your phone to get it.
    On the vodacom site they only offer sending a settings SMS or using USSD, both are not supported by WIndows phone (you could try the SMS option though). These setting are carrier dependent and so should be provided by the carrier.
    A quick look at settings for the Nokia C7 I found this and that should translate pretty well to settings for Lumia:
    Connection name: Vodacom
    Internet APN
    Accesspoint name: internet
    Proxy address: 169.006.128.012
    Proxy port: 8080
    Username: [blank]
    Password: [blank]
    MMS APN
    MMS Access point name: mms.vodacom.net
    Proxy address: 169.006.128.013
    Proxy port: 8080
    Username: [blank]
    Password: [blank]
    MMSC address: mmsc.vodacom4me.co.za
    They should have the settings available for manual entry just like any other carrier has. If the above does not work contact them again and demand to speak to a manger as they should have these settings and it seems you ran into a clueless agent here. As this is basically Vodafone you might try and shoot their HQ a message to complain on this.
    And lastly remember; Google is your best friend in these matters..

  • Cannot get media content in text

    I received a few texts that contained media content. When i clicked on "Get media content now", it said that it was getting media content but it never downloaded it. Is there some setting I need to change or something?

    hi mate, this is a case of you needing to activate MMS with your network carrier. they should also be able to send u the settings via SMS of which you open them and tap Save. also ensure that you are up to date with the latest version of Nokia system apps, namely Access Point and Network+.

  • Get Media Content Message

    Hi I have the HTC Trophy and I was texting someone and they sent me a message and it came up as Get Media Content. I clicked on it and it said "getting media content" but then a few seconds later, it was back to the original message. Does anybody know how to fix this or why it is doing that? Thanks!

    First, use the search bar and type Flash in.  You'll see thousands on this subject.  You can download apps from the App Store, such as iSwifter or Puffin, which work with some degree of success, but not always 100%.

  • Video download in Nokia lumia 610

    How to download video in Nokia lumia 610 ????

    Hi lumiakdb,
    Thank you for your post and welcome to Nokia Support Discussions!
    You cannot download video files on Nokia Lumia 610, but you can, however, stream supported videos by opening them in the browser.  If you want to get a video file on your device, you'll need to transfer it using Zune or Windows Phone 7 Connector for Mac (can be downloaded on AppStore). Please see here for instructions on how to synchronise content using Zune.
    Hope this helps,

  • Media content upload download

    Hi,
    I am quite new to the iPhone development. My requirement is to create an app which should be able to upload/download/tag a specific media content - image, video or audio to a Ruby on Rails based social networking
    There could be two solutions
    1. Standalone app - using the underlying framework APIs.
    Does the standard Foundation framework's underlying HTTP Connection object support uploading / downloading of videos/audios? I found a Ruby Cocoa framework in the library though.
    2. Can I enable my website to for iPhone so that the browser itself takes care of upload/download of the content
    Would greatly appreciate pointers on this
    Thanks in advance

    Using NSMutableURLRequest and NSURLConnection one can do POST and GET requests to a web service. These classes abstract all of the set up so simple requests are easy to do. For more complicated requests you have the ability to programatically set or adjust the HTTP header fields. NSURLConnection can be used in either synchronous or asynchronous modes. The latter allows you to make network requests without all the bother of creating and managing threads but still keeping your UI from blocking on the request.

  • Nokia lumia 610 mms

    I have a Nokia lumia 610 and since having it for a month I was unable to use my data I pay for on contract. Also am unable to send or recieve mms messages. I found the network support and did that. My internet is now working but my mms will still not send or recieve. It just says get media content. Then getting media content. Then goes back to the same etc..

    Hi eflower
    Thank you for posting and welcome to Nokia forum! 
    Mobile network settings let you control the cellular data connection for your phone. An Access Point Name (APN) is the address your phone uses to connect the internet through your operator network. On the first startup Internet and MMS settings are read from the SIM if available.
     Try doing this step:
    If you don't already have Network Setup application, download and install the Network Setup application which can be found in the Nokia Collection on Marketplace. Start the application and select your local carrier to setup Internet and MMS settings.

  • Nokia Lumia 800 charging and photo messaging probl...

    I got my Nokia Lumia 800 in May and was great to start with but when I updated the phone to the most recent update  I started to get problems.
    My picture messaging wont work at all, when i recieve a picture message I get "get media content now" but when I try and get it, it doesnt work, I have taken my phone into the shop to see if I had the correct apn etc but they cant see any problems with it. When I took it back to where I got it from and they told me that they would have to send it away without giving me a replacement until I get it back, telling me I would need to buy a new one, I cant have this as I have a micro sim card which will only fit in certain phones. 
    I have also recently started to get a charging problem aswell, I have reset my phone but nope, and I have tried other chargers which dont help either, my friend used my charger to see if it would work in her phone and the charger seems to be working fine, again it seems to be a fault with the phone.
    I love my phone but I am not happy with the faults that seem to be happening now, as I need my phone to be in working order due to family illness. 
    Could anyone help me with this ? 

    Have you fully charged via Laptop ? If so let it run down 10% or so and connect to supplied charger and see if it will charge then, also if you have done a software update you could try reverting back to old software then re-installing latest again.
    Final solution is a Nokia Care Point !
