T Mobile are a bunch a t******.
I asked them if they could provide me with the GPRS setting so that I could use it with my XDA - their response 'we dont support that phone'.
OK I said just give me the settings and I'll set it up - their response 'we dont support that phone'.
So I say, lets pretend I've got a Nokia give me the settings and I'll sort it out - their response 'Nokia settings are totally different to XDA so we cant give you those settings'
Finally I say, lets pretend I've got a non competitor product (Siemens SX45, HP Jornada 928, Palm Tungsten W....anything) JUST GIVE ME THE SETTINGS - their reponse - THEY PUT THE PHONE DOWN!!
So my questions is does anyone have the settings so that I can start using GRPS on my XDA.
Thanks

Hi,
I'm in excatly the same position as you. Also have an unlocked XDA on t-Mobile. Took me ages to get the settings out of them ( they are a bunch of mentally handicapped people at the best of times...)
Bad part for me is..even with these settings...it takes a while to connect...and sometimes it does not connect at all...Your luck my vary ( please let me know if you have any success)
1.Under connections, create a new connection and choose "Cellular Line (GPRS) " modem as the modem type.
2.Leave everything else on defaults.
3.When it asks you for an access point, type "general.t-mobile.uk" ( it is not a spelling mistake it is .uk and not .co.uk)
4. Click finish
5. Under GPRS Authentication choose "CHAP"
6. Under CSD Line type choose "Analogue"
7. Make sure that when you dial that the GPRS connection number is +0~GPRS!general.t-mobile.uk -> set the area code and country code both to 0.
8. Make sure that there is a "G" next to the operator name ( when you click on the signal strength box). If you don't have this..t-mobile has not switched on your GPRS account. Call them and ask them to enable "GPRS Data" for your account. Not WAP, MMS or something else but "GPRS Data" (they are clueless)
9. If you still have problems...call tmobile support..but instead of talking to them..ask to speak to the data support team. ( these guys actually know a bit more...but not much...- at least they know what data GPRS is)
All in all I spoke to a guy a carphonewarehouse...and he has tried t-mobile, vodafone, orange and o2. He told me that all of these services only offer gprs at 9600 except for orange ( which he seemed to like ), that offer gprs at 19200 and that they are pretty clued up.
Anyway..hope it helps.

Thanks for your reply. I'll try this out and let you know how I get on.
Incidentally when I was on the phone to them they said that they dont support any PDA's and have no instructions - I've checked, its on their website!!
I also mentioned to them that this exact same phone is available in USA, Germany, Austria, Poland and Czech Republic under the name MDA.
Thinking about it, maybe I ought to be working for T Mobile, because I sure as hell know a lot more than their 'call centre staff'

network log on
Thanks for the post Milmber. I followed your instructions and when i try to use GPRS I get a message saying
Network Log on
Resources T-Mobile
Then it asks for user name, password, domain.
Any idea what this should be or have I done something wrong
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Sorry...forget to add the username and password...could have sworn I put it in ;-)
Well anyway, when you get prompted add only a username and password:
Username is "user"
Password is "one2one"
Let me know how you manage....
...btwI left the domain setting empty...but your milage my vary...
Hi Prime,
Just to let you know...tried the GPRS again today ( with the settings I gave you above...) and the GPRS seems to be working fine.
I'm starting to wonder if it has something to do with the T-Mobile signal strength..since this works for me here at work...but not at home....
Hi Milmber
I found a website that gives the lastest settings and it states that the settings are:
'user'
't-mobile'
This seems to work as well.
If you want the email address, let me know.
Primed
Hi Prime,
if you could post/email me the address of the settings page you found that would be much appreciated!

Does anyone have any useful advise for me, provide me with some form of sanity check!!!!
Ideally I wold love a .cab file to install!
But would like feedback from anyone else in a similar position, on how they resolved this some what annoying issue!!!!

I set up my Vario II for Vodafone with no problem. These settings (*.pdf file) seem to be the same as the ones I used, see how they compare with the settings you are using.
Many thanks I will give it a go!
Ok have now got connection but I can't surf?
I have seen comments about GPRS beening fully enabled?
Are there 2 forms of GPRS that can be enabled? WAP & WEB???
Do I need to worry about the Dialing Rules???
Thanks in advance for your assistance!!
[/img]
Could you be a little more specific i.e. does it come up with a pop-up box stating that it is connecting to GPRS? If yes, which connection does it say it is connecting to, is it the correct one (i.e. the new GPRS settings that you have just keyed in)? When you say it won't surf, what do you mean exactly ... are you using Pocket IE and does it come up with any error messages etc...
Connection via GPRS No probs I then get the Small G and the two arrows fixed on the bar.
Enter IE and type google for example.
get the status bar flash up breifly and then disapear, with no change to the original Orange World Home page!!!
No errors what so ever????
okay ... the next thing I would probably do then is download an alternative browser to see if it still happens in a different browser. Netfront is pretty good. At least that way you should be able to establish if it is a GPRS problem or a browser problem.
Ok I now have installed Netfront and connected to the GPRS!
typed in www.google.com
I have a warning screen:
Browser Warning
Cannot load Page
Type: DNS no server is specified
?????
Okay .. I am running out of ideas now, it does sound like your GPRS Settings are still wrong.
Click 'start menu', 'settings' and go to the 'Connections' tab. Now click 'Connections', then the 'Advanced' tab then 'Select Networks'. The first box (ie. Programs that connect to the Internet automatically) should say 'My Isp' and if you click 'Edit', it should show you 'Vodafone Internet' is selected.
If you then select to edit that, you should see in this order 'Vodafone Internet' and then it should show modem type as GPRS, next page should show Access Point Name of 'Internet', next page should show User name 'Web' ... password is the same, domain field should be blank ... nothing needs to be done in the advanced tab because the default of 'Use-server-assigned IP address' should automatically be selected, same for the server tab too, default should be server-assigned.
These are the settings that work fine on both my XDA Mini S and my MDA Vario II.
Right I have checked both ISP and MyWork Network, all correct!
The only thing I can see is that the password box has loads of characters (*'s) instead of just 3 *'s for WEB (***)
But every thing else is as the PDF??
Stumped!!!!
you can try messing with the newly released ms network tools there is a link in development forum
or you can try manualy typing in a know dns server in the settings
unless the gprs dont route the request
any dsn server ip will do
same as pc's really
I am afraid I don't know then ... we have reached the level of my knowledge (which isn't high )
Perhaps somebody with a little more technical knowhow on GPRS issues may be able to help you.
Sorry I couldn't get it sorted for you.
Thanks for your help a least I can connect now!!
Thank you again!!
anyone heard of the connection No. being *99#?
Vodafone instructed me to put that in the setup?
I guess that goes in under the " My Work Network" Vodafone Wap - Number?
This is now becoming a huge headache anyone got any ideas?
not sure how vodaphone handle it but i never heard about
ppl having to add numbers when they picked gprs as connection
belived that was only if you connected around grps

I'm expericening a similar problem.
My phone was sold as an O2 XDA Mini S. My O2 contract/account doesn't allow GPRS (they want me to upgrade) so I tried my Vodafone PAYG SIM and it works without having to have the phone unlocked in any way. By that I mean I can use voice calls and using the settings I've found through this site I can send MMS messages via GPRS but I cannot connect to the internet. I've checked with Vodafone and the account will allow internet and GPRS etc.
The only thing that I can see that is wrong is the password. Whenever I type "web" then finish, it always defaults back to a string of 16 ***'s when I re-check the settings.
I've even done a hard reset and used the corporate install to no avail. I don't want to run any sort of unlocking software if I don't need to as I don't want to create a very expensive door stop.
Any ideas?
The string of asterisks is normal, I think it is just a method used by Windows to make the password more difficult for someone to guess i.e. by disguising not only the characters but also the number of characters.
I just double checked and my fully working settings also show a row of asterisks despite it being a 3 character password.
Thanks Nicky
I'll keep plodding away with this but hopefully someone might steer me in the right direction soon.

Hi. I bought a winmo phone in december and put a 3 network payg sim in it. All I had to do was enter the APN and the internet has worked fine. I'm on payg though and you're a contract customer. I think the APN would be the same but dunno. Anyway if you want to try I don't take responsibility.
1). Go to 'Connections'.
2). Select 'Add a new modem connection'.
3). Enter a name for the connection (whatever you want to call it), then in the 'Select a modem' panel select 'Cellular line (GPRS,3G)'.
4). In 'Access point name' panel enter: http://www.three.co.uk
5). On the next page you have panels to enter 'User name/Password/Domain' just leave them all blank and press finish.
You should be able to get online now no problem.
Anyway they are the settings I use on payg. Hope this helps.

Hi all, first of all i'd like to say you're all doing an amazing job!
Basically I have a HTC HD2 ROM with the T-Mobile UK stock ROM.
This ROM has been tweaked (made worse) by T-Mobile, for example removing YouTube and turning Opera into Web'n'Walk.
The issue is that T-Mobile disallows us to download the ROM's from the official HTC website because T-Mobile need to re-release this ROM with its restrictions. The problem is that 4 months after the first ROM release, and newer versions constantly appearing, T-Mobile has not even released one newer ROM version for us to download. I was wondering how/if I could download a ROM from here and if this would make the phone stop working? I am aware this will void my warranty but this isn't of a great concern to me.
I am mostly concerned that I will no longer be able to send messages and make phone calls with T-Mobile if I download a cooked ROM.
My ROM is version 1.43.110.2 (70315) WWE
Thanks, Cristian
hey...
I had the same rom as you (tmobile uk upgrade)
I have flashed about 8 roms so far so no worries there
HSPL
Hi mate I bought mu HD 2 from my friend T-MOBILE ugrade 350 £ btw and a just use HSPL after install official rom 1.66 radio too and now just testing cooked ROM and got no problemas at all ! And I am oringe customer fast internet perfect signal almost everywhere ...
Goodluck
Hi thanks for your responses that was really fast
I've seen that I can download HSPL from XDA so there's no problem there i'll follow the instructions posted.
So once I install the HSPL I can simply download the ROM from the HTC Website?
I was just worried that installing a new ROM would clear the settings set by T-Mobile such as text messaging and making calls? If this is the case then is there any way to restore them?
Thanks again
Your sim card contains all the data needed for the phone to set up data and sms and the like.
If it doesnt, there are hundreds of threads on how to manually enter data connections.(2 minute job)
Thanks for your reply, I have just installed the HSPL.
When I enter my serial number into the HTC website it says it is invalid (this is because of T-Mobile) Do you know how can I work around this?
I'm really sorry for all the questions I'm new at this
bump bump bump
Thats because your serial is still invalid, even though you installed HSPL.It always will be.
Go to the official roms thread in the rom development section,
first post, first link. Look through the folders for the rom you want. (I suspect you want the 1.66 folder, look for the wwe rom.)
I have just updated to official ROM 1.66 from this website
I am able to make and send both calls and texts but the Internet connection is no longer working. How do I attain these settings?
T-Mobile UK
Please help
Many thanks
fisrt - go to settings tab - menu - all settings - connections - connection setup.
Run that.
If that doesnt do it,
settings tab - menu - all settings - connections - connections - and in the mobile web settings set up a new data connection, using the data you find HERE
Also worth looking in start menu, scroll to end, have a look for a branded 'sim card' style icon, probably called just 'T Mobile' that is put there by your sim card. Give that a try.
There is no sim card style icon or any t-mobile related in the start menu
I have typed those settings, twice, the phone connects successfully to the network, but only for a minute before disconnecting. It simply keeps disconnecting after a minute or so
t mo put a proxy in with their settings
settings tab - menu - all settings - connections - connections - tap manage existing connection - jump to the proxy tab and untick 'this connection proxy blablah'
Give that a try.
that doesnt work either, any ideas?
Very odd that it should connet and then disconnect a minute or so later. It isn;t just closing because it's idle, is it? Can you surf while its active?
thanks for all your help by the way
i dont think so because its not idle, it stops midway while being used.
i had to recover my phone using microsoft my phone in chunks..
yeah i can surf but only for a little bit
very odd. Just so you can double check, here is the info as i would put it in. (Im sure you got it right, just being thorough)
settings - menu - all settings - connections - connections - add a new modem connection (in the mobile web section)
(If you want to delete your other one, choose manage existing and switch to the general tab and choose delete settings.)
enter any name you want.
line type - celular line (GPRS)
next
access point name is - general.t-mobile.uk
next
user name - user
password - wap
*** ive just read in another thread that the password is pass for contract so try that ***
domain - leave blank
lol, also just came across this
GPRS Internet service
Access point: general.t-mobile.uk
User name: user
Password: one2one
heh, sadly im not on t mo so i cant test them for you.
if you put general.t-mobile.uk into google, you will find lots of pages of info about setting up data.
im trying it with the password as 'pass'
looks promising, ill post back in a minute =]
you absolute legend it works
it didnt work at first after i changed the password
but i stumbled upon a menu in which 'automatically retrieve internet settings' was checked, so i looked back to where i typed in 'pass' and it looked like ***********.
so i unticked the box and changed the password back to pass, again
it works.
thanks so much
very very very impressed
heh winner, and no worries. On the plus side if you have to do it again it will be easy!
How did I solve MMS problem!
Once in the MFG Menu...
1. Click 7 for Engineer Settings.
2. Then click 6 for Other Settings.
3. Select Set ADC (auto data configuration);
4. Set Enable;
5. Shut down, change SIM card and restart;
6. Reinsert your SIM card and restart;
7. In Setting/Celular/ Data Conection ON
8. Send MMS!
Let me know if this help
This really works. When I installed the Open EU firmware, everything was automatically working after the first reboot, including the MMS
nope...doesnt help me at all
This works for the majority of American and European carriers. However, if your service provider does not support ADC, then you are out of luck.
Hi,
did you try this app from lg store?
(Network Setup.xap)
I run this one in my phone and voilá, MMS is enabled.

LG E900 Optimus 7 (Maximo 7 in Portugal)
I have an unlocked E900 (bought SIM free) with an Orange UK SIM card - tried the MFG method, no dice. Installed the App from the LG section of Marketplace (after changing ADC back to disabled), MMS worked straight away - thanks to Marcus for the pointer.
Neither option has worked for me (T-Mo USA network), though I didn't remove my SIM, restart phone, shut down, and re-insert the SIM again. Is this necessary?
Hi,
The above method stated by the original poster did not work for me but the following method did:
( I have my sim card in for this)
1) enter the MFG app (dial ##634#)
2) Input the password 277634#*# and press enter
3) Choose No. 7 engineer menu
4) in the engineer sub-menu choose other setting.
5) Choose Set Network Profiles
Let the list populate
6) Scroll down the list and find your appropriate carrier and select the appropriate xml, so for me in the UK:
on Vodafone it was: _PROV_VDF_UK234_15_ENG.xml
7) Exit the mfg app, restart phone
8) confirm that data connection is active in settings>mobile network
That's what fixed MMS for me, hope this helps.
I tried all of the methods listed in this post, but nothing worked for me with my LG Optimus 7 on the T-Mobile USA network. Specifically, none of the included profiles were remotely close to what I needed.
Anyhow, finally Laquox helped me work it out in this thread -- and now I'm up and running with proper MMS support. Nice
Help
I tried all the above no joy.
I checked the config on the phone which was branded to Orange but unlocked to Tesco and I notice I have 2 entrys for MMS One O2 one Orange any ideas.

You need to add the proper network profile. Follow the steps posted by Tatteltale, until you get to step 5.

Thanks for the reply
But when I check for the list it doesn't populate a list at all.
Also when I check the registry I notice I have O2 and Orange listed as MMS providers.
I was thinking the only way to aviod this is to install a EU unbranded Rom.
Any ideas?

Thank you

When I try to access the "set network profiles" menu, as it populates the list, the system seems to crash and bring me back to the applist on the home screen.
Is this as a result of mango update? It was working only a couple of months ago, weird.

I had your same problem. So I just uninstalled the app, then reinstalled it by the original procedure, and then I could access the "set network profiles" menu again. Finally I was able to set my profile, I thought it only listed the network profiles for the operator in the countries where WP7 are sold but it listed most oi not ALL operators. It listed all the operators in my country.
