Weird GPRS problem... - Networking

I have been given an xda, unlocked, and want to use my payg vodafone sim in it...
I have set up the gprs connections, it does connect...but I don't get the home page! Even manually entering the home page address in the IE address bar doesn't bring it up - all that happens is that I eventually get a 'the page you are looking for cannot be found'
BUT when I check the gprs is definitely connected? Can anyone help :?:
p.s. before anyone suggests it, I have checked every single post on this forum for the answer - I have also tried vodafone direct (useless), vodafone online (ditto) and filesaveas

try doing a search for
"paygo" AND "vodafone" AND "GPRS"
it should give you results with posts
where all words are present
sounds like a DNS issues if you ask me

I'm on Vodafone PAYG (just recently signed up, doe to O2 meanies not allowing GPRS on their PAYG, only WAP)
these settings work for me: (emailled from Vodafone's tech dept)

o2 UK gprs settings

Just installed the xda-developrs SE ROM
Seems to make the XDA run like a deamon, well impressed so far.
Just as everybody else though. The autoconfiguration doesn't work. So can't get the o2 wap settings up.
dns 193.113.200.200
and 193.113.200.201
np mobile.o2.co.uk
but something seems to be missing. Could somebody please supply the complete settings.
WAP...
Ehm, as far as WAP goes...
We did not include the EZWAP program in our install. So WAP is unlikely to work. WAP wasn't in Othman's Qtek ROM (it has no autoconfig settings and no WAP), and we didn't create mkrom to take input from multiple ROMs. We figured serious users would want to the new EZWAP which also does MMS (which isn't included by O2), and we never really used WAP or MMS ourselves. So I guess we never tested any WAP settings...
If you want you can have a look at the registry settings we insert for each provider in the 'provider' directory of the mkrom kit. If you think some settings are missing, you could do a registry dump (using the 'System Snapshot' we put in the ROM) before and after fixing the problem, and send us the differences. We can them insert them in next versions of the Special Edition ROM.

There ones I use my self
UK 02 XDA
Hi,
Thanks for the above info. It worked a treat. However I was asked for a Username, Password and Domain login when I connected to GPRS. So for those of you who do know it, here we go:
Username: web
Password: password
Domain: leave this blank.
Check the box to save the password.
Gil.
thanks, i will add it to my txt file
missed those
I am on O2 payg, using the xda, I have tried the gprs settings and it says the number isnt responding, when I use the gsm settings that are preset when doing auto config, I get charged even though I am on 300 free wap minutes, I dont think I am a stupid person but I have a feeling of having been here before when I previously had an O2 payg, any help would be appreciated. I am getting the free sms messages so I know the account is activated for the freebies. The "G" sysmbol comes on when i switch on the xda and stays there for about 10 seconds.
Hi. I'm new here so excuse me if I seem simple! I have unlocked my XDA using xdaunlock and now have same problem with GPRS dropping out after approx 10 seconds. It worked before, so has unlocking changed any settings? or has something else happened. The xda has the latest uk rom upgrade with 4.21 radio. Any help please as I dont know what to do! Thanks.
Please has anybody actually got a working setup for GPRS on O2 PAYG on the XDA, I have spent weeks on this and got nowhere. I have followed instructions to the letter from different websites and still no joy, I can connect to wap over gsm but gprs settings still elude me, anybody got a full description of settings please, and how to enter them. Thanks in advance.
Is there nobody on this forum using O2 PAYG sim and using wap over gprs? I cannot seem to find anybody with the settings, I wonder why, it seems like the holy grail just to get on line using the system that is available to me in theory? Help would be greatly appreciated.
Nobody in UK on O2 pay as you go :?: :?: :?:
Update on my problems with GPRS on O2 payg. I have tried every setting on this forum plus others, I always get error, not answering or some such, I have decided to stick to gsm connection using shortcode 951000 and exwap 2.5. if anybody can give me step by step, confirmed working settings, I would apprectiate it. This will be my last post on the subject, I am beginning to take up too much storage on the forum server with this. A resolution to the problem would be great as I can then save my connection settings to flash ram and not worry about it again.
cruisin-thru I am not on O2 so can offer limited help.
EzWAP2.5 could be yr problem.
I sometime find difficulty using WAP after a session mms'ing with EzWAP2.5 . A solf reset is then required before I can connect to WAP via gprs.
Here is my sugestion:
1.uninstall EzWAP2.5 completely
2.try to get connected to gprs or gsm WAP
3.try PIE, it works for WAP , but depending on yr
telco whether on gprs or gsm
4.if all the above is working then install EzWAP2.1
and see if it works
5.then EzWAP2.5 and see if it screw up everthing,
if not try mms.
Hope this helps, i am working blind here
OK, searched high and low and think this is the best thread to post this in.
Have just upgraded my XDA with the developers rom v1.2. Everything great for a while (3 days) Now it can not connect to gprs or gsm. I get the "There is no answer at the number dialed.
I am with O2 UK and have treble checked the settings and tried various alternatives however nothing works.
One thing I have noticed is that the autoconfig dropdown box says Austria One.....when I change that to O2 - UK and click OK to autoconfigure, it doesn't, it just comes back to Austria - One.
Phone works and SMS is fine, just GPRS/GSM
Do I need to re-flash or contact my provider....or please tell me there's a simple "fix" :lol:
Thanks
Ive got this reply through email from o2 im waiting now for password and username I will post soon as I get it
Go to Start > Settings > Connections > Connections, and then select the top modify option. Within this, there should be four connection types.... Select the GPRS WAP connection and modify the settings. You need to change anything that says o2wap to payandgo, and change the APN from WAP.o2.CO.UK to PAYANDGO.O2.CO.UK. Once you have amended these settings, tap and hold on this connection type and make it your default. You might want to rename this
Then, go into the EZwap application, and select tools and then options, and there should be a series of tabs. Select the general tab and make sure the connection in the drop down list, is the one you have just amended.

Hi, make sure first that it's your GPRS WAP connection that Ezwap is using, and set it to 'auto connect' in 'Options'
under the 'connection' tab set connection type to 'gateway' and put in your networks WAP IP address (o2 IRL's is 192.168.090.074). Click on 'connectionless gateway'
Untick 'wtls' secured connection.
Click on the 'MMS' settings tab next.
Put in your networks MMS 'Message Server' or MMS homepage. (O2 IRL's is http://mmsc.mms.o2.ie:8002)
All the other settings can be setup as you like.
1) Enable MMS on my account. Had to get 'pally' with a tech guy to do this as XDA is not supported; I suppose pretending I had a 7650 would have worked too.
2) Install EZWAP2.5
3) EZWAP Settings for O2UK:
General
"Connection"
- O2 WAP GPRS
- Connect automatically Y
- Rest on this tab default
Connection
"Connection Type"
- Gateway
- Address 193.113.200.195

MMS

-Sender Address Type: Phone Number

It's not 100% reliable, which I knew would be the case, but it's not too bad. Get now when the message arrives doesn't work, but I just open the MMS inbox and click the message to get it.

Vodafone UK GPRS settings

Hi All
I have a MDA compact T-mobile. However, Im using Vodafone Network.
Does anyone know the GPRS settings for Vodafone UK and how to edit them?
I appreciate your help.
Alan
set the access point to internet
set the user name and password both to web
that's it
Hi
Thanks for that. How about the MMS settings?
I have set some in. But when I go to send the MMS, it says MMS sending for ages.. and I get a BOLD G on the title bar. Also, what does this mean? does it mean I'm connected or I have the option to contect?
Thanks.

Attached Vodafone UK GPRS settings for contract. Let me know if you need payg version.
Try sending yourself an MMS first and then should all be ok - don't ask me why but I had the same problem and this suggestion worked for me.
The bold G on the title bar means that you have GPRS coverage.
Hope this helps,
OB.
Thanks for this..
I will try this and let u know!
Thanks.
This works a treat. Thanks.
To add to the 'can't send MMS' list of hints...
Additionally if you still have trouble sending MMS I found that if you delete the "\storage\Windows\MMS Log" folder and then send yourself an MMS all should be back in working order...
OB.
hi,
i need a pay and go vodafone settings. please can you upload. i cant connect to gprs.
i will be moving to India on Idea network after a months. So can anyone tell me the settings for that.
i have UK XDA II unlocked.
thanks
Here are the Vodafone PAYG settings - copy to PPC and click to install
No idea about India Network - None posted on official i-Mate wesite (www.clubimate.com) - Suggest contact them direct and ask...
OB.
spot on.. working already now... thanks
and can you also upload the settings for VIRGIN PAY n GO...
thanks
Here is Virgin - seems only to be one version as I think Virgin is all a type of PAYG...
OB.
hi.
thanks for that... virgin is working fine now... the thing is that when i installed Vodafone settings, it erased all the previous ones... now when i added virgin, vodafone has been erased...how to keep both
thanks
How to keep both!? Good question...
Only thing I can think of is to keep a copy of the cabs on your SD card (use CABINSTL so as not to delete after execute) and install as needed...
OB.

Just got my I-mate and have set up the GPRS for Vodafone UK Contract. I can successfully connect using the VF WAP Connection and VF MMS connection, but if I try the VF Internet GPRS connection, I get every time the error message 'The answering modem has disconnected'.
Anyone any idea how to fix this?
I can only load wap pages using the WAP connection and can't view any html sites. One of the main reasons I traded in my nokia 6230 was to browse html on a bigger screen.
Cheers,
Antoine

Hi - I have exactly the same issue with Jam/Vodafone UK/contract/GPRS. Has anyone out there got this combination working successfully?
TIA

Yes, I have, check out the conversation in http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=24848

Thanks Toine. I saw the other thread after posting here.
You said you cured the problem by implementing gprs proxy settings. Can you please post exactly what settings and where you entered them?

Thanks again Toine,
I've made progress - now able to browse WAP and Web sites - but still cannot get to my POP3 mailbox.
Could you check your reply? Did you mean to list "wap.vodafone.co.uk" for both connections? If so then I'm really confused... :?
Also, are both connections under "My Work Network"?
I've listed my full config below.
At present I can connect to WAP and Web using the "Vodafone WAP" connection, but if I try to get to my mailbox it says "Unable to connect: Ensure that your work modem is present and inserted correctly, and no network card is present."
The Vodafone Internet connection (using APN of "internet") still refuses to play, saying "The answering modem has disconnected."

O2 PAYG Internet access

Hi Guys,
I've been reading a lot of forums discussing internet access through O2's PAYG system, many think it cant be done and although you will be restricted there is a way.
On any O2 PAYG connected PPC you must add the settings for the internet in "My Work Network" - this gives you access to port numbers which aren't easily accessible through "My ISP" settings.
Add these details...
O2 GPRS settings (WAP):
Note: These settings were taken from http://www.filesaveas.com/gprs.html with some slight modifications from myself.
Homepage: http://wap.o2.co.uk/
APN address : payandgo.o2.co.uk
Gateway (IP) address : 193.113.200.195
Username : payandgo
Password: password
Session type: Continuous / permanent
Authentication: Normal
Security: Off
Port number: 80
The Port number "80" is the most crucial point, O2 has blocked port 8080 which is a standard for internet access but 80 will give you 90% of all web pages too.
You will unfortunately still be blocked from MSN messenger and POP email accounts, I havent tried any exchange servers yet but I would expect to be blocked from them too.
O2 dont want you to know that internet access is available through PAYG with the right settings, I hope this may help some of you.
Good Luck

Blue Angel newbie

hi all i have a orange SPV200 with the following
ROM version: 5.60.00 WWE
ROM date: 03/02/05
Radio version: 1.06.02
Protocol version: 1337.38
ExtRom: this is empty
what im trying to find out is how do i set it up to surf the net. it links fine when its connected to the pc and all other functions seem to work fine and as they should but just can not get it to work.
p.s
this phone is now unlocked and has a vodafone sim in it
any advice would be great (have spent 2 days on here trying to find the answer)
thanks in advance
what are you trying to use for going online, wlan, bluetooth shared connections, activesync shared, or gprs, and what country are you from?
right im from the uk
and im not entirely sure which way to use it, i want to be able to access the net whilst on the move, so i think i need to use the gprs but im not sure on this, i know i can access the net on my standard nokia N95 and would like to use the blue angel in the same way.
thanks
to use it on the move, the only possible option is gprs, which is unfortunately not free in contrast to all the other attrative options i gave you, but maybe your plan covers it, in germany it is rather expensive, so i wouldn't use it, and so i can only offer limited help there, but i give it a try:
1. go to Start -> Settings -> Connections -> GPRS Settings and make sure the right protocol is set. on the first page, mine says CHAP on the second one Class 10.
2. leave the GPRS Settings and enter the Connections app, so Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Connections as stupid as it sounds, in there, go to My ISP and make a new GPRS connection.
unfortunately, in my experience, if i enter anything there, my phone constantly trys to connect to gprs, even if i set nothing at all, but i looked up the uk vodafone gprs settings for you:

That's what it said on: http://www.filesaveas.com/gprs.html
I hope you find a way to enter this information there somehow, and then you should be ready to go.
i don't know how long your battery lasts, and how common free public hotspots are in your area, but as gprs is pretty slow, i would also give wlan a try and leave it activated with the option to connect to any unencrypted network, 1. it's free, 2. it's faster
I found this NetWorkWizard in Swampy's ext rom (if i'm not wrong ). I hope it helps you. Just check if it's contains your operators setting
yess usinf networkwizard.cab select your provider and wait a minute it configure you GPRS setting automatic. than soft reset
thnx
thank u very much(about networks),u read my mind,i needs this really,thnx

Running Miri_WM65_21889_Premium_Manila_2.5_V18.0

I have received picture MMS, I can view the text message ok, but not the picture.
Keeps asking to download picture, then obtain a failure message.
All settings appear to be ok, have checked that MMS settings are in place.
Is there anything else to check or need to change?

Just ensure you have data connections active. Sometimes people have them switched off using apps like nodata etc so data cannot connect.
Data is def. on.
I have tried a Virgin SIM, that functions correctly.
The O2 SIM functions correctly in another phone.
I believe that the PAYG settings are different to pay monthly.
I contacted O2, they cannot supply the correct settings.
Have you tried the payandgo setting ?
O2 MMS settings
The o2 MMS settings can be sent direct to your mobile. Go to www.o2.co.uk/services/ota4/select. Alternatively, the settings are:
Access point name: wap.o2.co.uk (contract customers) or payandgo.o2.co.uk (pay-as-you-go customers)
Username: o2wap (contract customers) or payandgo (pay-as-you-go customers)
Password: password

Have tried receiving the settings from O2, this is the result.
Unfortunately, we are not able to process your settings request at this time. Please contact Customer Service or your account manager to discuss further options.
The settings that you supplied are similar to what I have for MMS.
In the HD it is shown as O2 active and under the connect via: there are several options....O2 active...mobile web...Proxy internet...My work network...My ISP....Work
By trial and error I downloaded all the pics by connecting to My work network
P.S. settings are in post#17 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=590753&page=2
It is very confusing, why can't O2 just send or configure the correct settings as do Virgin.
Also all the pics are very small, I believe this is another O2 error, as once again the HD is not recognised, a known issue.
A registry hack is required.??
Don't know if this thread can help
