HTC Snap – MMS Settings for 3

wmOz — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 23:50:06 GMT

Paul had posted a comment on the Snap from a previous post, in his post he asked how to setup the Snap to use MMS on the 3 network.

“I am having fun with my HTC Snap (thanks BTW). I have tried to load a new ROM on it as I dont use telstra and all the Telstra setting stop me from using Three properly eg MMS dosent work. unfortunalty I havent had any luck loading a new ROM as the phone is Application Locked, I cant get a application unlocker to work because the registry settings wont let it run and I cant change the registry settings because...... I dont know why. I know you cant officially help me but if you happen to know a really good place to look with really clear answers please let me know. i really appreciate the phone and think its wonderful but this Telstra thing is driving me nuts.

thanks

Paul”

There are a couple of questions in there

1. Loading a non-Telstra ROM. If you Snap is Telstra branded, you will only be able to load the Telstra ROM on it.

2. Setting up MMS on 3: Paul we’ve been through testing MMS setup and we believe these settings should work;

HTC Snap – ActiveSync setup, if not on Telstra MMES Plans

wmOz — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 02:26:51 GMT

The HTC Snap has been out for a while now through Telstra. The default configuration is set to take advantage of the new flat rate data plans – know as Microsoft Mobile Enterprise Solution (MMES) http://www.telstraenterprise.com/productsservices/mobility/officemobility/Pages/MicrosoftMobileEnterpriseSolution.aspx

We’ve been hearing that some customers are experiencing “difficulty” in setting up e-mail with the SNAP, so here’s the guide to getting Exchange ActiveSync setup if you’re not on the new Telstra plans (MMES).

Setting ActiveSync to connect through the “Internet” Connection

Press Start
Select ActiveSync
Press Menu
Select Add Server Source
Enter your Email address
Press Next
Enter your User name, Password and Domain
Press Next

The device will automatically download the Settings from the Exchange Server

Proceed directly to Step 10 if the Auto Configuration is successfully

If the device cannot complete the Auto Configuration, Enter your Server address, ensure “This server requires an encrypted (SSL) connection” is checked and press Next
Press Menu
Select Advanced

Ensure the Connection: sliding panel is set to “Internet”

Press on OK if prompted and once you have read and understand the Warning Message

Press Save
Press Finish

By selecting Internet in Advanced Server Settings, ActiveSync will connect through the Connection which is defined in the Connection Settings of the device to Automatically Connect to the Internet.

HTC Touch Diamond launched in Australia, with Telstra

wmOz — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 07:28:00 GMT

On Tuesday (24th June) a few of us from the WMOz team attended the official launch for the HTC Touch Diamond. The good news - it's the first WM6.1 device to be launched in Australia.

The launch event was held in partnership with Telstra, as there is a bunch of customised services that Telstra will deliver on the Touch Diamond. Expectation for availability was given as late July/early August.

The main focus was on Horace Luke (Chief Innovation Officer for HTC) as he demonstrated the Touch Diamond interface, showing off the TouchFLO 3D experience, rich browsing including one handed zoom and text rendering, streaming of YouTube content, with quite an emphasis on leveraging the full speed of the Telstra network.

The spec's for the Touch Diamond that will be on the Telstra NextG network are:

HSDPA 7.2 (upload) 3.6 (download)
640x480, 2.8inch (7cm) VGA display
Bluetooth, WiFi
3.2 megapixel camera
850Mhz support - so will access full speed capability of the NextG network, with customised services such as WhereIs, TradingPost, FoxTel, Sensis.
all the other specs are available on HTC's site
oh, nearly forgot to mention - the weather pane has a neat "windscreen wiper" effect to clear the droplets on a rainy day
