02 GPRS

Does anyone know the GPRS setting for 02 PAYG UK sim cards?
Thanks.
hi,
I have also posted a thread asking for the settings but no luck at all, the only way so far is to pay for dial up
o2 GPRS setting for PAYG
Try This: http://www.filesaveas.com/o2wap.html
Good Luck
These settings will allow you to access the whole of the internet on your phone using PAYG, as currently you cannot access any site except google.com and o2.co.uk. If i was you i would sign up for the 7.50 a month unlimited browsing bolt on(Not actually true as you are limited to 200mb a month). You should get 1mb free a month, but as you will find out 1mb doesnt last very long,if you go browsing, i would say it would be good for about 5 pages then its gone and you will be paying top wack for the internet.
Please note that only Mobile Internet Explorer will work with these settings, you will not be able to use or access Mobile MSN or Outlook as these are not supported.

Do a search for and download Arcsoft mmscomposer.cab - I use 5.0.31.11.

SPB Free Panel - Weather

Hello guys
I was wondering what your experiences are with the weather feature on the free SPB panel. Is the weather supposed to auto update? there is an option set to automatically update, but for some reason mine doesnt. But when im connected to wifi or active sync it updates.
I have made sure non of the other options are ticked like docked or free connection as I want it to update through GPRS.
Can someone tell me if its supposed to update through GPRS or whether its designed to update only through wi-fi and active sync.
I have a vodafone x1 if that helps.
I had the same problem, and fixed it by either:
1 - amending the MMS settings (voda sent me the settings which needed to be entered manually), if you're getting MMS messages OK then it isn't this.
2 - Change connection settings from post #7 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=450502
Not sure which one it was cos I did them both at around the same time and noticed weather updates regularly then!
Sounds like you are using the Vodafone WAP settings to surf the web (classed as MyISP). This tends to block most requests that aren't done via a browser* and instead you should use Vodafone Internet settings (classed as WEB).
*that said quite a lot off apps now run over the WAP APN on Vodafone as they have tweaked the firewall
Does anyone know if I need to change any settings on AT&T? I love the graphics of this app, but it won't initiate its own internet connection. I have to check email or use the browser first to get the weather to update. I looked at SPB forums and no one knows why. Tried re-installing, but that didn't help either.
Thanks alot guys

the HTC connection manager kicks in when you first bootup, it'll recognise you have an o2 sim and ask you to if it can configure the device - simple as
Before getting my HD2 unlocked today I was using an O2 PAYG sim. The autoconfigure on the O2 HD2 doesn't work for PAYG settings only contract settings.

My sister updated her phone and I did think and it worked but I have a question, do you have to make a new APN every single time or does it stay saved

It stays saved, but a reboot or network change will revert you to the default apn. She will need to run the shortcut app and change it back to the new APN she created when that happens, but she won't need to make a new one.

Once it expands, select the last entry. What exactly does your last entry say that you select?

Hi- would love for this to work... I'm on CRC5 ... am I screwed? the "add" button appears grayed out... so I can't seem to add a new APN to choose... have I messed up somehow?
This does not work because the APN settings have been disabled and no such way to add a new one and if you did there is no way to select it because all the functions in the APN settings have been disabled like I said before, only way to change them after OREO is to get root and then you can edit the system telephony.db file to add DUN.
