GPRS service is not available - Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General

Hi all,
I just managed to flash HTCAsia WWE ROM onto my Dual Touch which was T-Mobile branded in Dutch, thanks to the NIKI project and some other good people. I use this opportunity toexpress my gratitude. But, since then, even I managed to pick up connection settings for my current provide (Orange), every time I try to send MMS or connect to the Internet using GPRS, I get the same message: "Answering modem has diconnected. There is a problem connecting to the GPRS service in your registered home network." I have called Orange customer service, and according to their instructions my connection and MMS settings are correct. Is it possible thatsomething is wrong with new ROM, or my GPRS service is not available for some reason.
Thanks.

GSM based net connection

Does anyone know if there is a way to connect to a normal ISP, using a GSM connection, instead of GPRS. I have data calls on my t-mobile account, but when i set up my isp details and dial it, the XDA tells me the remote computer is not responding, when it blatently is, cos i can dial it using my laptop.
Hi Dave,
If you are UK based T-Mobile have released their GPRS service last week. They have a number of packages including 0.075p per KB or £15 for 10MB.
Its not on their website but their staff know about it.
Simon.
Your settings are wrong. Put the correct settings in. Ask someone who knows what the correct settings are in order to discover the correct settings
Maybe it's not all about wrong settings.
After I tried to connect to O2 using GSM from Danmark last week, I called O2 Germany and they told me it won't work. They have no roaming partner for GPRS in some countries and they disabled the GSM for whatever reason. The old numbers I could use to dial in last year won't work any longer. I get timeout error messages or "The connection you dialed does not answer". (It doesn't say it don't exist!)
Considering to quit O2 and use T-D1 again instead. I am very disappointed by the O2 net coverage.

OK, some networks do not support GSM data, and frequently networks will not have GPRS agreements with other networks in other countries.
Can you register onto Telia? In Denmark I believe they have GSM data @ 9.6kbps
You also need to make sure that your home network enables 'full' GSM data, maybe that's what you meant in your post. If they switched it off ask them ever so politely if they'll turn it back on.
I connect to the net using the wap number which is included in o2 minutes on the 250 package, (the gsm internet number was not included minutes) you can change the number dialled in the connection settings box. also set it to "always dial"
check the number dialled as it puts a prefix depending on country settings etc you also need data enable on your sim which is done thru your gsm provider. Sorry if i'm saying the obvious... hope this is of help
Dave, you need to have T-Mobile enable CSD (Circuit Switched Data), which is off by default. There is no charge to have this enabled.

GPRS settings for T-Mobile NL??

I downloaded the T-Mobile (NL) application for PPC2002 ("T-Mobile GPRS Connect") which should take care of the GPRS connections, but it does not work. It keeps complaining about not able to open the modem connection (I'm using the Cellular Line modem): "Can not find the name of the serial port".
Anybody any ideas?
It is a nice utility which displays the speed, send/received bytes and connection time, but useless sofar...

hey marco,
i bought a t-mobile pocket pc in the US and unlocked it. With my vodafone sim i now can do everythinh with the device. So I know how to make a GPRS connection to Vodafone, but don't know the settings for t-mobile.
A few days ago I also tried to install t-mobile app. but it sucks. I suggest you try to find out the correct settings with t-mobile nl to make a descent GPRS setting and not use the t-mobile application

Vodafone & GPRS

I have recently unlocked my phone so that I may use it on Vodafone as the O2 coverage in my area is not the best.
My question is is it possible to log onto to the Vodafone GPRS system with my XDA.
If so how do I configure my XDA so that it works.
Awaiting With Interset Your Replies

Youll need a slieve or gps reciever for the nav system to work. it will work fine with vodaphone, just not on its own as a hand set.
Vodafone GPRS Settings
Hi Vodafone GPRS setting on XDA are as follows: Start/Setting then connection tab, click Connections and on My ISP, add a new modem connection. Enter name i.e. Vodafone then select modem type Cellular Line(GPRS).Internet Access point is 'Internet' if your on contract, and 'pp.vodafone..co.uk' if your on pay as you go. Next user name is web and password is web. That's it your done, go surf. :roll:
Re: Vodafone GPRS Settings
Tried your connection setup as suggested and got the message 'No modem at above number'. Any clue what next, Thanx
Vodafone GPRS Settings
As far as I can see these settings work fine on the XDA1, I do not have access to a XDA2 so i cannot confirm if these settings will work on XDA2.
Doh! after categorically stating I had followed gadgetnet's advice and couldn't still get web access on my xda2 I have to eat humble pie. Gadgetnet's advice is spot on but ofcourse technonerds like me have to first of all check that their service provider has GPRS enabled their sim cards. I got Vodafone to enable GPRS on my sim (simply a phone call request made to their call centre) and half an hour later I was surfin in fine style. Remember if you want to access Adult sites like the National Lottery you have to go on line by other means to the vodafone website and set it up. Takes about 15mins with credit card as ID of age.

Followed gadgetnet's instructions to the letter, worked a treat first time. Really impressed with the service far better thatn O2's. So thankyou gadgetnet.

GPRS with mtctouch

Hi
I bought the first imate jasjam I put my hands on last week; I had read all the reviews I could find and I "thought I did all the research before paying $1100". Well I guess I missed one thing: mtctouch (Lebanon Operator) declared the device "incompatible with their GPRS server" and they are not planning any upgrade for the moment; still no reply from i-mate on the matter.
Am I the only one with a device too advance for the telcom op.?
Can I upgrade or patch the radio stack to become "backward compatible"?
I am running" JASJAM_Arabic_1.20.305.3_1.20.304.104_1.07.03.10
Cheers
for time being use setting phone and under band insted of auto for network select GSM and for GSM/UMTS select GSM 900+1800+UTMS 2100 (first select) or other for your country.
Hi Ridaz,
There should be no reason why this device doesn't work on their GPRS netowkr unless they use a portal system which checks the model of the device connecting to 'taylor' the content to the device.
Tell me do mtctouch offer a internet only GPRS APN or only a GPRS WAP one? Hope you know what I mean bu the term APN. The TyTn in effect should be setup to use the internet one and the mtctouch GPRS network would just see it as a laptop PC.
Gav.
Hi
All 3G phones owners will have to wait until MTC finish upgrading their "equipment", hopefully mid December
Cheers

Help - Dopod 838 pro won't connect to T-Mobile

So I brought my unlocked Dopod 838 pro over from asia and am trying to use it with my T-Mobile sim here in California. However, I get this error notification:
Your current operator (31026) is not supported. You should obtain an update from your device vendor. Would you like to select another network?
It would then connect to Cingular as roaming which works fine for calls and messages. However, I cannot connect to my T-mobile internet plan while on the Cingular network.
I've been playing around with it for days and tried unsuccessfully to have it manually connect to T-Mobile. Do you think I need a ROM update or some kind of software update? If anyone has seen this issue and can provide some information it would be of great help. Thanks.
I got this exact same message on my Softbank X01 - however i ignored it, and my phone registered with T-Mobile without any problem. It seems to be connected to the new Network Wizard tool, under Settings - which only lists asia-pac countries for service.
However, if you go up to the Phone Service bar at the top, and enter the Settings section, the Network Tab seems to let you manually scan and select networks. It takes several minutes for the scan to complete, but when it does it gave me a choice of networks.
as always, ymmv,
