Nokia :: Fmms And Fapn

iv installed the latest fmms and fapn. iv done this

Firstly, please note that installing any applications on the N900 from the extras-testing and/or extras-devel repositories can lead to your device being bricked, turning in to a coffee maker or killing your cat... The majority of people have no worries at all, and I haven't seen any problems reported with these two apps, but check at talk.maemo.org for more info.

Now, moving on to the guide...

For this, you'll need TWO apps: fAPN and fMMS.

To get these, you'll need to enable extras-testing. To do this, go to menu, more, app manager, application manager, application catalogues, then hit new. Enter the following:

Name: Extras-testing
Address: http://repository.ma.../extras-testing
Dist: fremantle
Comp: free non-free

Save this then back out by tapping the space about the word catalogues. The phone will check for updates. I'd advise NOT updating anything. Quit out of any messages about updating and get back to the main app manager screen. Click "download". Hit "All" and scroll down to fAPN. Install this by clicking on it. Repeat for fMMS. Go back to application manager, application catalogues, click on extra-testing and click disable. Tap out of this and close app manager. Next, run fAPN (under more in the menu). Add a new APN (do this twice). Call the FIRST one "Vodafone MMS", and call the SECOND one you make "Vodafone Internet". Once both have been made, close fAPN.

Next, go to menu, settings, internet connections. Click connections, click "Vodafone MMS" and click edit. Settings as follows:

Name: Vodafone MMS
Type: Packet Data
Access point: wap.vodafone.co.uk
user name: wap
password: wap
UNCHECK prompt password.

Click advanced.
Proxies:
Use proxy (top check box)
HTTP proxy: 212.183.137.12
Port: 8799

Save, finish.

Now edit "Vodafone Internet" and NOT "Vodafone Internet GPRS". We're doing this because once you add the MMS profile, the N900 automaticall connects to the most recently added APN which unless you make the second one, will be MMS. This means when connected to that you can't surf the web!!

Settings for "Vodafone Internet":

name: Vodafone Internet
type: Packet data
access: internet
username: web
password: web
NO PROMT

Advanced: IP Addreses: Auto retrieve IP and auto retrieve DNS.
Save. Finish. Quit out. If it says "Internet Connection Failed", click no. Connect manually to get back on the internet.

Now, for MMS, open fMMS. It will ask you for configuration settings. If it doesn't, click "fmms" at the top and tap configuration.

APN: Vodafone MMS
MMSC: [url]
Resize image width: 300
Your phone number: your number! e.g 07845987265
Save.

Now, manually connect to Vodafone MMS. To do this, tap where the battery icon, click internet connection and click vodafone MMS. Now, back in fMMS, you can send and receive MMS! It may warn you that you need to connect manually etc. When you're done sending and receiving, connect back to "Vodafone Internet". When you receive an MMS and you're connected to Internet and not MMS, you may get an error from fMMS. Just connect to Vodafone MMS and in the app, send/receive and the message will come through.

and it still does not work
