You shouldn't have buy it if you think it's cheap and poor. If you can't receive mms you should ask your operator for proper settings.

its disappointing how complicated is these settings ,acespoints and destinations and dont know what else 

on iphon i will set just one setting in time everything in one place and all works ...

why when i installed o2 settings its not working? 

[synth_fg]

It's an 02 probelem not an N8 one tho

Normally an operator will send you the correct settings via service message when you first insert your sim and switch it on

all you have to do is open the message and save the settings

O2 however are notoriously bad for there support of any handset other than the iPhone

As you have not received the correct settings you need to talk to there support about how to manualy configure the settings, try there forums for help

So I have been in O2 store and ask guy why i cannot receive MMSs and he even didnt know how to do it  

he thought when he will set  auto settings it will work 

and he was messing and struggling with it  20 mins  and he didnt make it ..  

what heck he is doing in O2 store??

And at the end another employee said to me  this:  

No no you wont be albe to receive MMS you need to go on  internet and enter code like this UNBELIVEABLE!!  THIS SUCH A NORMAL STANDARD THING ''MMS''  WE ARE  IN 2011  YEAR   AND I AM NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO RECEIVE MMS IN NOKIA N8  ??????  THIS IS JUS  FU***NG  UNBELIVEABLE !!!  REALLY !!

hi thanks so much for  news for me !!  

when i was  on the phone with o2 operator he didn't mention that i HAVE TO create NEW DESTINATION !!

He said straight: go to multimedia msg I said I dont have it there I have just WAP and Internet..

Anyway  I have done I created Multimedia msg. accespoint 

but..

it says O2 MMS is in use so i cannot use it an even edit it cos i cannot see it in destination..

i cannot see O2 MMS pay&go  in destination

i created O2 MMS1 and it says  connection is failed (

[carman58]

I once had this issue with Vodafone, and after several phone calls, manually setting up the phone, resetting the phone with *#7370# and over a week of frustration, I made a final very firm (boardering on aggressive) call to VF and insisted on speaking to a supervisor ! It turned out MMS had been removed from my account, no one had checked and most people at the call centre simply read a script. if you get O2 to check that your contract includes MMS and are persistent then O2 should be able to resolve the situation, it is an airtime provider issue, and I have advised people before about it and persistence with the service provider is the solution, it is NOT a Nokia issue.

Good Luck

If I enter that code everything will be wiped?

am not on contract am on pay as you go

[synth_fg]

you could try the factory reset,

Menu

settings

phone

phone management

factory settings

if you need it default security code 12345

This will zap all your destinations but retain all your apps and data

then

http://service.o2.co.uk/IQ/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE?New,Kb=Companion,T=Mobile_Support

enter your number to have the settings sent

[carman58]

I wasn't suggesting tou reset the phone, I was saying I did it with mine, and also had settings sent several times, but all my efforts were wasted (along with a lot of time) as the resaon for MMS not working was because Vodafone had removed the service from my account, after going through several levels of staff at the call centre, a supervisor finally checked my account , and said I didn't have mms on it, it was re-instated and worked fine ever since. The point I was trying to make is thet there is nothing you can do with your phone, it needs resolving at the O2 end, call O2 and check your account includes MMS !!
