Lumia 800 MMS Settings

Hi, I have never been able to send or receive pictures since I bought this phone. I am with T-Mobile and they have said that the settings should be automatically applied when I first send a picture. They have also re-sent me the settings which I accepted and it still doesn't work. They have said it is an issue with the phone. From previous posts here I have tried both the Diagnostics app and the Network Setup app, neither of which seem to do anything. Can anyone help here?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ok. Finally this week ( Aug.1st 2012) Nokia released the Network Setup application that helped me to configure my MMS for AT&T on Unlocked Lumia 800.
Here is  what all Lumia 800 unlocked users should do to get MMS working with AT&T:
1- Download Network Setup app from Market Place
2- Run it and manually ADD a new connection. I gave it a name like “ATTMMS”
3- Define this info in the window provided:
a. Internet APN:   wap.cingular
b. Leave other fields blank on internet settings.
c. MMS APN:   wap.cingular
d. Proxy address:  wireless.cingular.com
e. Proxy port: 80
f. MMSC address:  http://mmsc.cingular.com
g. Leave other fields blank
4- Now select this new connection as Operator by tapping on it’s name and that’s it!
5- On phone setting,  Cellular setting, same wap.cingular APN need to be added too and Data connection should be ON!
Good luck with this!

  • Lumia 800 apn settings for mms on three uk

    The solution is using Network Setup an application which was pulled from Marketplace due to security issues:

  • Lumia 900 MMS Settings (Where is Network Pofile Ap...

    I have an unlocked (By Rogers Canada) Lumia 900 that I purchased outright as I travel a lot and it's nice to be able to insert a SIM card locally to the location I'm currently in. I'm using it mainly on Fido (Rogers owned carrier). Everything works great except MMS.
    I know for whatever strange reason WP7 doesn't have a Settings option to manually configure MMS settings. I read that Nokia had released a Network Profile App but I don't see it in the Lumia section of the Market. Read a couple of comments on the web that the app was removed. Why was it removed? This is something that should have been preinstalled!
    Is Nokia releasing a Network Profile App for the Lumia 900?
    Also read frustration from some people who indicated that the app has to have the provider listed to configure the MMS Settings.
    It's really easy, all you need is an MMS Configuration app that allows a user to manually enter their own carrier settings!

    Kosh wrote:
    Lumia 900 models which are currently available in the US and CAN region either come with MMS settings pre-installed or should get these from the SIM when going through the Device First Usage (DFU) procedure. For this reason the Network Setup app is not available in these regions for the Lumia 900.
    Kosh here is OUR problem with this and you need to go back to the people who gave you this information and inform them of this so they understand.
    There are two carriers that carry the Lumia 900 in North America, AT&T in the US and Rogers in Canada. Both carry the handset branded to their respective company and while each company likes to "lock" users into contracts to subsidize handsets, both of these companies allow users to purchase the Lumia 900 outright. As long as one is not in a contract to subsidize the handset, both (AT&T and ROGERS) CAN AND WILL provide their customer with an UNLOCK code. This is something they started doing recently, probably to keep the respective regulatory bodies in each country from forcing new policies on them. Whatever the reason, people like myself who purchased the handset outright and RECEIVED an unlock code do so because we want ot own the handset. We may travel and purchase sim cards in the countries we travel too. We may have multiple services and have the option of using the handset with any of those services or we may simply (as much as the carrier hates it) opt to switch carriers in the future.
    It's not really practical for us to be resetting our phones to configure it for a new SIM card and the information you provided doesn't work anyways. I've tried it. With this said, the Lumia 800 sold by Telus in Canada allows you to configure the MMS settings through the Diagnostic app. The Lumia 900 does not and we need to do it in these cases.
    Please provide whoever gave you this answer with the information in this reply. Unfortunately Nokia does not (they should) sell unbranded handsets directly to consumers in North America. And for whatever strange reason, Microsoft forgot to include the option to configure MMS settings in the OS like they do with data APN. Given the fact that both AT&T and ROGERS WILL PROVIDE CUSTOMERS WITH UNLOCK CODES, there is no reason why Nokia shouldn't allow the Network Setup App to be available in the North American marketplaces. I'm sure Nokia and these two companies would rather have it there then having customers like myself going to the FCC/CRTC to petition new policies against their respective carriers.
    Please pass this information along as many of us need to configure MMS settings either through the NETWORK SETUP app or the Diagnostic App. We don't care as long as we can when we need to do so!

  • Lumia 800 - MMS and DataConnection question

    Hi.
    Using the network setup utility i get mms working no problem, but only if i have the Data Connection turned on all the time.
    My question is: Why does the Data Connection have to be turned on in order for MMS to work?
    On all my earlier phones i never had to have this turned on. It would turn itself on whenever i needed to download or send a mms. Isn't that why they have 2 separate setups for mms and for internet/wap?
    Or have i missed something here? I don't want my phones 3g data connection to always be turned on coz several apps might use it without my knowledge and my phonebill could be huge.
    pls help
    this is kinda a dealbreaker for me.. and i might have to sell the darn thing if i can't sovle this.
    I have a shortcut to the dataconnection setting, but manually turning it on and off whenever i want to send or recieve mms is too much of a pain in the a**
    Anyone having similar problems? 

    Hi lil_missmoody,
    Welcome to the  forum and thanks for posting.
    When first started with SIM inserted the Lumia will read Internet and MMS settings from the SIM if available. After that when you change SIM only Internet settings are read. To set Internet and MMS settings you can user the app 'Network Setup' which you will find in the Nokia Collection on Marketplace through the phone. MMS is a data service and as such your mobile network data connection  (Settings>mobile network>Data connection) must be turned on to use MMS
    This app has settings for many carriers preset and also offer the option to enter the settings manually. You usually will be able to find these settings on your carriers website. You can now remove the manual apn settings from Settings>mobile network.
    You can switch on Group texting in Settings>(flick left to applications)>messaging>Group text 'ON'
    Hope this helps,

    Can anyone advise the best settings for roaming on the Lumia 800, I need to keep the emails coming in and incoming phone calls only, so cannot put it into flight mode, but want to stop anything else from updating/checking and using my roaming data allowance? For example, do I need to shut down apps that are running, or shut off bluetooth and locations? Just trying to avoid massive data costs like you hear some iphone users are getting becuae their phones are updating and checking stuff all the time. Thanks for any advice.

    Go to email+accounts and check services like Google and Live - in there select only mail to be synced.
    Bad thing is that if you have Facebook account there's no way to disable it. Either delete it (if you have no linked contacts, since they will be lost) or make sure to not touch What's new in People or Me tiles.

    Ran the tool, selected Virgin as the Operator
    Pressed the "+" at the bottom to select "add apn"
    Entered the following details
    Connection name: Virgin2
    Under Internet APN, Access point name: goto.virginmobile.uk

    Save
    Select Virgin2 as settings option
    I still found it was not working and upon ringing Virgin they told me my SIM was not yet MMS enabled. To do this, they told me to send a picture to myself. You will only need to do this if your SIM is brand new and you have never sent a picture message before from this number.

  • Nokia Lumia MMS Settings

    Hello, I hope someone can help.....
    I have read a few posts on this question but non of them have helped me.
    I have a Lumia 800 locked to O2 and I'm using a giffgaff sim. I can not find a way to enter the settings to set up my MMS. I have all the data I need, just nowhere to enter it. I have seen mentioned a few times an App 'Network Settings' but it does not appear in my 'Marketplace' to download.
    It seems without this app I can't set up my settings, but I can't get it. Will something be preventing me from getting this app, ie. something to do with it being an O2 phone? I have tried a few workarounds like using a link to the original file and sending it as an email but my phone rejects both files.
    Please help....

  • MMS Video missing on the Lumia 800

    I have not found any ways to send short videos via MMS from the Lumia 800. The MMS send functionality seem to be limited to pictures.
    The old Nokia N95 had this beautiful functionality that it somehow compressed HD videos, so you could send them within the MMS size limit. This functionality were removed on the later Nokia Symbian phones, but it was still possible to send videos if you recorded them with low quality.

  • Facebook Privacy Settings Lumia 800

    Since last week, all messages posted from my Lumia 800 to Facebook have been posted with the 'Only Me' privacy setting. Previously I was able to post no problem with the Privacy set as 'Public'.
    As far as I can see there are no options on the phone for privacy settings, and others that I know using Lumia phones have no problems sending messages to Facebook.
    Does anyone know what could be causing this, and what the solution would be. I am posting messages from the 'Me Tile' and not from a Facebook app, though if I post from a Facebook app I have the same problem.
    Thanks to anyone who can help

    HI ronnikke,
    Welcome to Nokia Forum!
    I have encountered this one wherein all my post created under Hotmail are set to "Only Me". You can try to check these settings and see if it will make any difference:

    You will have a list of linked accounts to your Microsoft account. Under Facebook, click on Edit and put a check mark to "Share to Facebook".

  • Nokia Lumia 920 internet and MMS settings

    For the Lumia 920 our local cellular company(Du UAE) is not able to provide Internet, MMS settings. Nokia has launched this device exclusively with Du(UAE). Can you please help in this regard. How we can configure our handset to use all features in it. Local Nokia care is not responding to this questions.
    Thanks,
    Nodirbek
    Moderator's notes: Post moved to own thread.

    The Lumia 920 is designed to extract network information from the sim card if the information is on the sim. Sounds like their sim may not contaiun this information. If this is the case, you can manually set it up. We won't have the settings for your network so they will have t o give you that. Once you have the settings, goto Settings>Accesspoint>Add, and just fill in the boxes with the information provided by your network. This list will also tell you what information you need. Would be an idea to have this page open when you ring your network. 

  • Nokia Lumia 800: No network or MMS

    I have trouble setting my network up. If I am outside an WiFi I have no connection to the internet and I cant send/recieve MMS.
    I if try to set it up in the app "Network-setup" (Translated from Danish) there is no network provider to choose, which means I have to set it up manually. I have asked my provider but they have caitulated and says that Nokia smartphones are notorious difficult.
    What do I do?

    Your carrier has lousy customer support as through Network setup it is very easy to enter manual settings. Just go to their website or google '[yourcarrier] mobile internet settings' and '[yourcarrier] MMS settings' to find the correct settings.

  • Lumia 800 - A few problems

    I have just bought a Nokia 800 and am having a number of problems setting up the phone and generally getting it working.
    First of all I had to manually set the time; I searched online and apparently there should be an option on the time and date settings to make it adjust automatically but for some reason my phone does not have this option.
    Secondly, every app I have download just says 'attention required' after about a minute. After about an hour of telling them to continue one of them has downloaded while the rest continue to say 'attention required'. I should mention that I am connected to wifi too.
    Thirdly, I can phone other people from my phone, however when I text them my messages arent getting through to them, even though there are no signs that this is the case on the phone. On top of this, when the phone is on the lock screen there is a symbol saying i have 1 message but when i look there are no new messages...
    Lastly, on the 'People' tile on the home screen there are no pictures showing up even though my facebook and twitter are connected to the phone; all there is is different shades of blue squares within the tile with the occasional 'facebook' logo appearing.
    If any of you could help me with any of these problems it would be much appreciated!
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi hxmjam,
    Thanks for posting and welcome.
    To my knowledge the T-Mobile  UK SIM would have at least the Internet settings on it but I would in any case download and install the app 'Network Setup' from the Nokia Collection in Marketplace. When you run this app it will tell you it determined you are on T-mobile and setup the correct internet and MMS settings. When it reports success you can close the app.
    As far as downloads if you get the 'attention required' message you can tap that message and you will get more information on why.
    You can verify contact information by logging in to http://outlook.com with the Microsoft account (formerly LiveID) you used to register your Lumia with. You will find your contacts and Calendar(s) there as well as the mailbox for the account. You can click the down arrow next to the word Outlook'' in the top right to move between options.
    Hope this helps you, let us know if you have any further questions.

  • Multiple email accounts on Lumia 800

    Dear All
    I have a question about email accounts on the Lumia 800.
    I have two email accounts, one linked to our website (pop 3) and also my personal Live account.  The account linked to the website can only receive (it costs more and thus was deemed unnecessary). This system has worked well in the past, just reply or forward using my Live account.  This has worked on my pc, laptop, Iphone etc.
    Now the question, how do I choose which account sends on the Lumia?  As I can’t seem to select between the two, I currently have no means of replying to or forwarding mail received in the ‘website’ account.   I have tried messing around with settings in both accounts, but to no avail.
    Apologies in advance if I’m just being an idiot but any help would be appreciated.

  • Issues on the Lumia 800 with "WIFI" and "Mobile ne...

    I keep my Lumia 800 on 2G/E at all times usually to conserve battery life, and because i'm at work with a wifi connection all day..occasionally when i go out i like to turn on the 3G and use the map functions etc.
    The problem occurs after a while that i notice the 3G draining my battery quite quickly, so i decide i want to turn off the 3G, i go to the "Mobile network" entry under "settings" and when i tap it, nothing happens at all, i also notice my WIFI is turned off, so i tap the "WIFI" entry, and again nothing happens!
    So, to solve this problem i have to turn the phone off...but then it takes maybe 10 mins or so till i can turn it back on, it will not turn on straight away!! I have to either wait ten mins or keep pressing the power button and holding it down untilt he phone eventually vibrates to tell me its turning on..whats going on??
    If anyone can shed some light on this matter i'd be very grateful!

    This is still happening, can anyone shed some light on this?

  • The most systematic analysis of Lumia 800 battery ...

    Hi, don’t mean to be arrogant, but I’ve read many threads, forums, posts etc.  There are tons of info, someone tried a table, etc. but no one has attempted to summarise the relevant parameters.  So here goes:
    1.     I have a Cyan 800, bought locked at “3” UK, then unlocked.  It’s beautiful and makes iApple UI look, well, jurassic or geriatric in comparison.  The screen is so beautiful that I switched the thing on just to marvel at the ease of reading the glorious white on black (real black, not grey) and I am smitten by the ascetic aesthetics of the UI that put function over form (I simply can't stomach the saccharine animation of Apple, it is an eye candy for a while, then becomes bothersome, at least to me.
    2.     Initially, I noticed that the battery life was not great, but it did not seem disastrous, and I read all the gleeful Apple worshipping media trying to fan the battery issue, but I thought that it was a storm in a tea cup and just the usual attempt to put-down any competition to Apple.
    3.     Until a couple of days ago I noticed that I have less than ½ charge after only a few hours off the charger without really doing almost anything.
    4.     I panicked, read as much I could the forums, etc. (including probably the most technical – XDA-Forums) but got there only one real advice, the “diagnostics” mode (dial ##634# - I also downloaded an App (called Diagnostics) that does bring you straight to the relevant page without the need to “dial” the ##634#).
    5.     I then tried to see what was draining the battery, I stopped 3G connection and “presto”, the drainage stopped and I thought that I resolved the problem (at least for me, there were clearly problems with a certain hardware code, see below).
    6.     For one day, the battery was very durable.  Even though I had some reasonable With-Fi browsing and calls (GSM, not 3G), there was more than a 1/3rd of the battery left after about 20 hours of the last charge.
    7.     Then, today, the morning began very well (in terms of the battery), it was losing less than a few percentage points every hour.  I used it for light browsing and a bit of Bluetooth listening.  Them my 7-yr old played some X-Box games for a bit, but the battery was way above 2/3rds.  I then noticed that the phone was warm even though it was not on.  Initially, I thought that it was warm because it was on my body, but then I noticed very fast fall in the battery level.  Check:
    a.      the 3G again, no it is still off
    b.     wi-fi and Bluetooth off
    c.      I even checked what Apps were in the background (though I know that it is NOT draining)
    d.      - nothing helps, the drainage was high, even when the phone was closed (i.e., not used).
    8.     There was nothing I could do, until I shut the phone down completely and switched it on again.  Then, the drainage returned to the “good” level, i.e., a few percentage points per hour.
    9.     So bottom line, I think that there was something going-on “in the background (that is why the device was warm even when closed) – the problem is that this seems to be intermittent/random and very difficult to put the finger on what causes this problem.  I hope that Nokia resolves this problem and not only the “low” battery capacity (see below) that Nokia acknowledged.
    So after this long intro, what do I see as the “hard-points” here? The most important parameters for the story seem to be in the following screens:
    1.     “Diagnostics” (##634#) “Battery Status” screen;
    2.     “Settings”/”Systems”/”about” screen, have to press the “more information” button;
    3.     “Settings”/”Systems”/”battery saver” screen;
    4.     The battery icon and its remaining capacity representation on the main screen.
    The “Diagnostics” (##634#) “Battery Status” screen:
     It seems to contain the following info:
    ·       “Charged” – seems to display ALWAYS the figure “65535%”;
    ·       “Voltage” – seems to show figures of between 3.700 V (i.e., volts) to 4.1 or 4.2 volts
    ·       “Current”, followed by “charging” or “discharging” and the current, usually between 130 mA (i.e., milliamp) and 500 mA.
    ·       “Full Charge Capacity” – showing different figures for different people, usually between slightly above 900 mAh (i.e., milli-Amper-hours) and slightly above 1,500 mAh.  Although in this should logically be a fixed-for-ever, or at least in the short term level, the figure seems to fluctuate slightly, see below for more detail.
    ·       “Remaining Charge Capacity” – clearly the most important parameter, showing the remaining mAh in the battery.  Although in theory, the level immediately after long charge should be equal or very near the “Full Charge Capacity”, in practice, it almost never is (remember, I take this not only from my case, but also from numerous reports that I got from the various forums), see below for more detail.    
    The “Settings”/”Systems”/”about” screen, the relevant info items:
    ·       OS version – it seems that the latest one (as of late dec 2011) should include “7740” in it.  apparently, Nokia promised some respite from the battery bugs in this “7740” update, but from what I read in the forums, there was absolutely no difference.
    ·       Firmware revision number – interestingly, the firmware revision number includes “7720”, though I am not sure what it means.
    ·       Hardware revision number – this ends up with “xxx.3” or “xxx.4” – as below, I wonder if this is a different OEM factories designation, but it seems to me that it is the “xxx.4” that has one type of problem (low “Full Charge Capacity” of under 1,000 mAh).
    The “Settings”/”Systems”/”battery saver” screen – what is relevant for us is under the “battery information” – you must unplug the phone from charger to see three lines:
    ·       “Remaining battery life”: supposed to be between 0 and 100% of course (though in this context, calling it “remaining battery life” is misleading, or at least inconsistent with the “remaining charge capacity” of “Battery Status” screen.  Perhaps it would be better to call this “remaining charge”
    ·       “Estimated time remaining” – measured in hours, in my case, it is always under 15 houts.  There is no explanation what it means, I would guess that this is “how many hours will your phone work in stand-by mode”, but then it is way way below what Nokia said – measured in hundreds of hours.
    ·       “Time since last charge – measured in hours.
    So below I summarise my findings, but first, my unit parameters:
    Color: Cyan (does not seem to make any difference to people out there – problems “cross” colours;
    OS: “7.10.7740.16”
    Firmware: 1600.2475.7720.11414
    Hardware: 112.1402.2.3
    So, in MY case:
    1.     “Battery Status” screen:
    ·       “Charged” – seems to ALWAYS display the figure “65535%”, like all others on the forums.  This must be some kind of mistake because it does not change or update and makes no sense, now that we are in this so deep, I hope that Nokia explains what the hell this means, if at all;
    ·       “Voltage” – seems to show figures of between 3.700 V (i.e., volts) to 4.1 or 4.2 volts.  When the battery is low, the voltage seems also to fall below 4.0;
    ·       “Current”, followed by “charging” or “discharging” and the current, usually between 130 mA (i.e., milliamp) and 500 mA.  When the battery “plays nice”, i.e., there is no “problem”, this figure is under 150 ma, usually going seesaw between 140 and 155.  When 3G is on, it is above 250 towards 270 mA
    ·       “Full Charge Capacity” – showing for me usually above 1,500, constantly changes, though less frequently then other figures in this screen.  Strangely I noticed that when it is cold (I was jogging and it was in an external pocket with about 7C outside), this number went lower, under 1,500.  Perhaps the battery when colder can hold less charge?  Nokia should explain.  I think that in case of Hadware versions that end in “x.4” the maximum in this parameter is reported under 1,000.
    ·       “Remaining Charge Capacity” – in my unit this never reaches the “Full Charge Capacity” (which is usually slightly above 1,500 mAh), it stops below 1,350 mAh.     
    2.     “Battery Saver Screen” and the battery icon on the main screen:
    In my case, because the “Remaining” charge never reaches close to the “Full Charge”, when I disconnect the phone from charger, I get straight that “Remaining Battery Life” is “94%” (1350/1500 or so) – and the icon is never 100% “full”, rather “almost” full.  “Estimated time remaining” never really above 15 hrs.
    So, there seem to be (at least) two major issues/problems in relation to battery/working-time:
    1.     Firmware revision (probably) “x.4” may have a faulty battery that would not charge above 1,000 mAh (950 mAh is mentioned by many, or about 1/3rd less than intended by Nokia (unless it is a software bug, which will be huge relief for all, especially for nokia);
    2.     Firmware revision “x.3” may have escaped the “crippled” battery of revision “x.4” guys, but from time to time it can lose battery charge at least 2 times faster than otherwise, most likely due to some background processes that can be felt as the device becomes warm even when not switched on (i.e., in stand-by mode).  This seems to be intermittent or random and can be stopped by powering-down the phone and then powering-up again.
    3.     In all cases, the claim that the phone can be several days in sand-by mode, must be wrong and Nokia must address and explain this.
    So in summary, at least in respect of battery, there is a mess.  Will be interesting if some people with other WP7 devices can chip-in and say whether it is similar in their cases, but Nokia should be open and explain and even admit mistakes, I hope that this can be rectified by software, or at least it is not a “terminal” complication for Lumia 800, which is a beautiful device.

    I would like to thank all the people here who have taken the time to put all this info together for us all and hope it is of help to the folks who are having trouble with battery life. I'm not doing to bad on battery life myself as it always last me though the working part of the day when I don’t have access to a charger and I will soon be updating my car cradle to take the Lumia so will have access to a charger though the day to. Personally I have come from the N900 and that phone also had some battery issues when it first came out which where pretty much sorted over time, as for manufactures claims on battery life, I always read these figures the same way I would read expected miles per gallon that car manufactures put out, meaning that there would only be a very select few that would ever get what the manufactures say you can get the rest of us will all get a very wide variation on these figures. I know that Nokia have acknowledged that there is an issue with battery life and not all of us have this issue, at this moment in time I'm not to unhappy with the battery life, but if it improves then I will be pleased. From all the posts I have read on this site it does seem that some people do read manufactures specifications as if there are set in stone, I'm not criticizing anyone here would just like to say that they are trying to sell you something so have a good look at the figures and maybe check them with other independent sources if at all possible. My only disappointment really is that we have to rely on other people and not Nokia themselves to let us know what’s going on, I wish the manufacture would be more open and quicker to let us know what’s going on and what they are doing to sort out problems and some sort of time frame that we could expect something to come out to fix a problem. I know bugs can me very difficult to find and ever more difficult to fix sometimes but if Nokia put out a weekly report about how things where going on bug fixes or forth coming updates it would help everyone in deciding where they are going with their chosen product.
    Again many thanks to all the people helping us all out and wish you all a happy bug free new year.
