Vodafone GPRS Settings?????

Assistants required!!
I have attempted to set up GPRS on my M600 (Unlocked for Vodafone sim)
GPRS has been enabled as I have the G icon up!
I have been on the vodafone website and tried there settings with no luck!
I have been on the Filesaveas website and plugged in all of those settings with NO luck, Have also installed the I-mate .cab again with no luck!!!
I am starting to go insane spent three days trying all different settings and No luck at all!!!!
You name the website and I think Ihave probably tried it.
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!!!!
regards

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!!

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.

Can connect GPRS,3G but can't see Web..Please Help

Hello guys
I am suffering for a few days on this issue in HK..
I just sim-unlocked my x01ht by M3100v4Unlock from Imei-check(OS is still Japanese), and try to setup my environment one by one.
However one of simple setting to connect by Gprs still has problem..
Please help me if you guys have any idea.
Summary of my situation:
1. GPRS (by Peoples SIM) : can connect but cannot see web site by IE
2. 3G (by CSL SIM) : can connect but cannot see web site by IE
3. Wifi : can connect and no problem to see web site by IE
for case 1&2, IE error message says "Cannot show page, please check the address and try again".
It seems address is not solved into IP address(Like cannot find DNS server)..
howver i still don't have any solution..
Would you please give me some advise for this problem?
Thank you !

go to start>settings>connections>connections>connections>advanced>select networks> and in the drop down list select the connection you are using to access the net.

fone_fanatic
Thank you so much for your quick reply.
I just checked the setting you taught me,
However I found out I already selected the appropriate setting you mentioned.

Normally for WiFi connection I select "My Work Network" &
for 3G/EDGE I select "My ISP Connection".
Also make sure all the APN, username & password correctly enter.

ghz
Thank you for your suggestion.
I checked APN, Username & Password is correctly inputted.
Today I also brought my x01ht to support centre,
let the enginner set up, but still have problem.
when I use this sim on my HP rw6828,actually no problem.
(That mean sim has no problem.)
Thank you

I have a similar problem, see this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293494
are you using a cingular ROM?

Hi,
I installed Opera for wm5, then can go to any website now!!
That means IE caused this problem, but don't know exactly what the problem is..also can't find how to update IE..
Anyway, I use opera at this moment.
Thank you so much!

cpz21,
Thank you for your information,
I just deleted the registory you mentioned
then I can connect to any website now.
So everything is clear!!!
Thank you

glad that helped.
I still have the problem...

cpz21,
Sorry, I was so happy by myself.
I'm using genuine softbank japanese version bought in end of Dec.
As I am new in this toy, can't give you good advise at this moment..

Thanks akind. I'm mostly using opera 8.6 right now, or I can restore registry, or just not to sync with home PC (sync at work seems ok)
Sooner or later I will find the reg key

Hi cpz21
Last night I hardreset my device and setup from the beginning.
Of course I deleted the reg key and test IE then no problem.
However, this morning i went to web by IE in subway through gprs, it can't show web page.
Then I arrived office and checked the reg key again, found it still there...
Don't know why it come to be like this..
Just for your information.

Facebook crashes

I was wondering if anyone else is having problems with Facebook?
I can get to the login screen but as soon as I hit the login button Opera crashes, every time!
Anyone encountered this, or know how to fix it?!

Wow... at least you have in account manager "facebook" account, I can't find it on mine!!!
I look at the registry, and I find the keys... but I don't see the account.
This is my registry:
HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAccountmanager
String Defaul
String Facebookaccount: my [email protected]
String Facebooksecret:
String Facebooksession:
String Facebooktoken:
String FacebookuserID:
String Facebookusername:
are they some other key's that I don't have??

I've just done a master reset, weird thing is the setup process was a bit different this time, hopefully it will let me login now!

Nope, get to login page, login, Opera crashes again

Works for me... I logged in, it went to the main page and I went to the Friends Request page. It works.

I can log in, but my phone crashed last night when I tried to comment on someone's status. I had to soft reset.

It's obviously not an isolated incident then, I'm gonna give HTC a call and ask them about it.

Well I have called HTC and they said they would pass the information on to their technical team.

Where did you get your HD's? I've managed to log in on an Orange one, no trouble. Though it did say "You must have a Javascript enabled browser"...

I have a SIM free version, which ROM does the Orange one have, I assume they modified it?

Nope, vannilla rom.
ROM version: 1.14.405.3 (22273) WWE
ROMdate: 10/24/08
Opera version 9.5
Build 2682

Yer mine is the same... weird!!!
I'll wait and see what HTC have to say... Said I would receive a response within 48 hours.

SOLVED!!!
Solved this finally.
It's the proxy setting that T-Mobile (UK) uses, which also screwed up the email retrieval on the Touch HD.
With the proxy setting off there is no problem logging into Facebook an other sites which apparently have problems (according to the Opera forum where I found the solution).

But without the proxy settings you are actualy paying for the Data connectino, no? Watch out! Cause this is how is works in France for example..

Interesting, I'll definately keep an eye on my bill this month then! They usually just get chucked in the filing cabinate unread, way too trusting of my employees obivously!
What does the proxy actually do? I guess it's a HD bug that there are issues with the proxy as it worked fine on the Kaiser and Hermes.

It allow access the 8080 port only (on Vodafone for example). Bascally everyhing is restricted. (cant use POP/IMAP for mail, only HTTP works, no VOIP etc..). Some sites don't work either. It allows just basic internt browsing access.

This is the case with O2 PAYG as well, only web works, no POP3 or IMAP. I don't understand either of those but VOIP makes sense as they don't make as much money off those calls!
I believe they're less rediculous with contracts though!

Hi,
Can you tell me how you do that? disable proxy setting from opera:config -> proxy, or Setting->Connections->t-mobile settings?
Many thanks.

Solved login crash problems
Just added the proxy setting for wap under the t-mobile internet settings, and now i can login to facebook/hotmail without crashing the opera.

same problem here bro, on orange. but it works on wifi. also im like nimbuzz doesn't work on data plan. it is something wrong with winmo 6.5 because this happened to me when i upgraded my topaz to 6.5

you both need to check your connection settings to make sure Internet is using your provider's settings.

i know i already answered to you on another forum but i repeat there so others can benefit
open opera, on the adress bar write "opera:config", scroll down till proxy settings, check "use http" and on empty space near "http" write the ip of your proxy server (es. 245.244.243.100). save and it's done.

Another time thanks!!!

HTC Peep login problem

Anyone else having problems with HTC Peep? I can't get it to login to any twitter account, just gives me a login failed (wrong username password type message).
Also use moTweet with no such problems (but would like to use Peep too to stay logged into one account)
It did work once, but not for a week or so now.

yea im getting that too. I think its part of the general network problems that constantly afflict this buggy phone :-(
I get mail connection issues while opera works fine.. I am starting to think it might be something to do with the way the programs call the network interface in WinMo.

I had a Google around and it seems some Android users were getting some similar problems with Peep in Sense UI. Wonder if it's more to do with the Peep app rather can a network issue?

Anyone else getting this problem?
Appreciate if you use Peep and it's working you post a reply too (realise that many others will be using other twitter apps instead due to peep being a little limited in functions)

Hi,
I am on vodafine UK and peep works without any issues on my HD2. On hero, Peep works on wifi as and other networks but does not work on Vodafone UK(regardless of the AP settings).
Vodafone is not blocking the ports, however they are certainly manipulating the incoming data to the devices. Some applications get affected from this process. While there might be other work arounds, I have noticed that using SSL for web requests in the applications resolves issues. For instance, an application I was working on was working ok on wifi deserializing json data from the server but it was failing to do so on Vodafone data connection. Using https instead of http on the server fixed the issue. Of course, this is a fix that need to be applied within the application.

I had the issue with mine too so I created new account on twitter. After sucessfull login there I went back and all was ok. (It is the trick found by some1 else here...)

I've had it not work a couple of times, but 99% of the time it works all the time

it only works with my vodafone if I disable the proxy.. otherwise it only works with wifi..
but when I switch from wifi to 3G, the first time the applications try to connect again.. also weather etc. I get a connection error, althought the 3G/H icon flashes. also after a reboot.. but when I try to connect again it works fine..
not a real problem as I hardly use wifi on it as the 3G connection is really fast and at home the computer is always on and within reach..
when you disable the vodafone proxy, you won't be able to get in the live portal site and/or use those services.. but who cares about that..
generally this fixes a lot of things in the phone, as everything connects to "The Internet" by default. But the vodafone automatic settings screw them up. With the proxy disabled the The Internet account works again and this means it will use wifi when it's on, if not it will use 3G. With the proxy disabled you can also set your mail accounts to "The Internet" instead of "Vodafone live!" and it can receive mail over wifi and 3G.

I tihnk mine worked with T-Mobs 1.43 ROM, but since using 1.61 (and a dabble with 1.48) mine only connects to Twitter through WiFi, not through GSM or 3G. The same is true for MSN messenger too.

Wohoo!!! Fixed it. The key is that you need to update the connections database, reboot and THEN disable the proxy.
1) Goto Settings > Wireless Controls > Tap Data Connection (the label, not the switch)
2) Tap menu, then Update Database
3) Follow the instructions and then OK the reboot.
4) Once restarted, goto Settings > Menu, All Settings. Then Connections, Connections again, then Set up my proxy server.
5) Disable the proxy and you're all set.
WOHOO!!!!

Have Twitter changed something recently? I used to be able to connect using Tweetdeck & Digsby on my PC, as well as the HTC Peep app and moTweet.
No it seems I can only be logged on with one of these applications, or maybe I am barking up the wrong tree.... deffo wouldnt work on HTC HD2 until I logged out of my PC app.

thanks for the post. glad that you ve solved it. didnt work for me I use htc hd2 in Turkey, with Turkcell. I ll post the solution too if I hopefully find it...

TMOUS unfortunately, there is no UPDATE DATABASE, in my data connections.

may sound stupid, but this happens to Peep if you ever used Opera Mobile 10 for Twitter. Solution: log in to Twitter via OM10 and force manual logout there. Peep should be OK afterwards.

It's obviously an HTC Peep issue as many have installed other Twitter clients and they're working OK.
EDIT: I tried schnooller's advice (above) and logged OUT of Twitter.com using Opera on my HD2. Closed Opera, then relaunched Peep..and it's all working fine now

hello
i also have same probs it shows account is forbidden in htc hd2
any body have solution.
