Bluetooth & WiFi

[#1]

Just got a new SIM card for my unlocked Palm Centro from a new phone company. They sent me the settings to configure the phone to access Internet services, but without any instructions on what to do with them, and there doesn´t seem to be anyone competent enough at their Customer Service that has a clue on what I need to do to enter this settings on my unlocked Palm Centro.

Can someone help and explain where and how to enter these settings?.

I was able to enter the WEB setting (Prefs./Network), and got browser Internet access to work, but I cannot find where or how to enter some of the other two sets of settings for WAP and MMS, in particular the Proxy settings for MMS, and the IP Address for WAP.

This is what they sent to me:

===============================
WAP
Connection Name (example): Internet mobile
Access Point Name (APN): gprs-service.com
User name: None
Password: None
Authentication; None
Data compression: (off)
Header compression) (off)
IP Address: http://wap-start

Multimedia MMS
Connection Name (example): Messages multimedia
Access Point Name (APN): gprs-service.com
User name: None
Password: None
Authentication: None
Data compression: (off)
Header compression: (off)
Proxy Address: http://mms-services.eu
Proxy Use: Yes
IP Proxy: 217.18.32.181
Port Proxy: 8080

Internet WEB
Connection Name (example): Internet
Access Point Name (APN) gprs-service.com
User name: None
Password: None
Authentication: None
Data compression: (off)
Header compression: (off)
=================================

Anybody knows or can help? Thanks a lot.

Hi jurena,

Welcome to the Palm Forums! Well, here's the answer to your questions. I'll categorize the answers based on your sets of information so you can line them up.

WAP:

Don't need it. The web browser on your Centro is an HTML browser. WAP is more for dumb-phones (e.g. 10 key phones).

MMS:

Follow these steps to access the settings for MMS

1. Press the House button to get to the screen with all the icons
2. Select the Messaging icon
3. Press the Menu button (bottom right of the keyboard)
4. Select Options -> Preferences
5. Tap the Network Tab and select Manual
6. Tap the Edit button that appears
7. Input the necessary information

As a side note, a lot of the information you listed for this feature isn't necessary. Since the APN is the same for Web, you only need the MMS specific settings.

WEB:

This should be good as-is since you mentioned Web is already running.

Thank you so much.  You have been more helpful with just one message than four calls and three emails to the phone company´s tech. support people...  I really appreciate your help.

A question on the MMS settings: This is what I have entered in the "Messaging/Options/Preferences/Network/Manual/Edit" screen that you mention, given the list of setting that I got from them, and my understanding of what goes where:

=======================

Message Center Number:  [Do I have to enter anything here?  The phone co. didn´t mention anything for here, I think...  do I leave it blank?]

Email Center Number:  [Same as above; what is usually entered here, if anything?]

MMS HTT Proxy:   217.18.32.181:8080   [is this the right way -and place- to enter the port setting?]

MMS URL: http://mms-services.eu

Network Profile:  "Internet" [I picked the Network profile name of the Profile that I created with the "WEB" settings;  is this the correct pick for me?]

======================

Also, I noticed that the IM application that came with the Centro cannot connect to my Messenger account -I get a "[Error 104] Request could not be Completed" error message.  Do you happen to know if the fact that I didn´t setup WAP might be the cause?  Having IM work would be nice, although not essential...

Thanks a lot once again for your help.

So, the Message Center Number and the Email Center Number have to come from your carrier (might want to call them and ask specifically for those items). I'm not sure if they're necessary for your carrier or not. Your MMS Proxy and URL settings look perfect. Also, your Netowrk profile looks perfect.

I'd test it with the settings you have and if it still doesn't work, then call the carrier for the Message Center Number and email Center Number.

I need help on my palm centro

I used to be an ATT customer but decided to stop using them and have my phone unlocked. Recently I switched to H2O wireless. I was trying out their $50 prepaid plan.

They sent me this setup but I cant get the web and MMS to work.

Here are the settings they want me to configure manually but I dont know how:

Proxy Gateway IP Address :  proxy.mvno.H2OMobileweb.com                             66.209.11.33

Proxy Gateway Port: 80

WAP APN:  att.mvno

WAP Homepage URL: http://www.H2OMWeb.com

MMS APN :  att.mvno

MMS URL:   http://mmsc.cingular.com

thank you in advance

I am having the same problem, my internet seems to be working, but I can't send or recieve picture messages,I keep recieving an error message that says could not send network interupted. I purchased an advertised NEW unlocked palm centro from a large retailer, when I recieved the phone it has the AT&T logo on it. The settings I'm suppose to put in are:

MMSC: http://wirelessfour.mmsmvno.com/mms/wapenc

APN: web.omwtoday.com

SMSC: +12063130004

These are the standard settings, they also have a list of advanced settings, that I also can't find a home for in my phone.

I have followed the steps suggested above and my only options to change are:

Message center number:

Email center number:

MMS Gateway Address:

MMS URL:

and Network profile with these options; Default, T-Mobile internet, T-Mobile VPN, T-Zones

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

• To complete your Activation, create a new APN with the following values:
  • APN Name: Straight Talk

  • Port: 80
  • MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
  • MMS Proxy: 66.209.11.33

• Delete the current APN from your phone.
• Reboot your phone.
