I have created this new thread as I have searched several days now trying to get vodafone live working on my telstra htc hd2 with no luck. I have contacted customer support on 1555 to send me the setting via sms but i never got it. I have also gone to the australian vodafone website to get the wap setting via sms but my screen just briefly lights up but doesn't show that any sms has been recieved hence i can't get the correct settings. I have also tried manual set up instructions on the vodafone web site but they do not work as well since it asks for passwords etc. I found a thread before talking about vodafone live on this website but it is based on the new zealand web site and assumes that you have got the correct vodafone wap setting etc which is what I cannot get no matter what I try.
Does anyone now how to get vodafone australia wap setting on the htc hd2 and hence get vodafone live working on the telstra htc hd2 handset. Instructions right from the very start would be really appreciated.
Sorry I cannot be of more assistance, but in case you don't hear anything in this thread, try posting in the T9193 thread in this forum (search button will help you find it.) Though, it's dominated by Americans importing the phone
Hi, I've had my hd2 working on vodafone (sim is now in my Desire) . Even with the telstra rom your apn settings should be automatically set when you insert the sim. If you don't have any luck then you might need to flash the rom (and rid it of the bloatware).
First you need to flash an older Telstra rom from shipped-roms.com (1.46). Then you will be able to use hard spl (hardspl.exe), then flash any rom and radio from this fine website. I personally like ozrom or artemis. These roms will automatically set your apn and work.
If you can't be stuffed and know where to update the settings:
apn... vfinternet.au
No username or password.
For vodafone.mms try
Apn…live.vodafone.com
Mmsc...http://pxt.vodafone.net.au/pxtsend
Mms proxy...10.202.2.60
Port. 8080
Mcc.. 505
Mnc.. 03
Apn type.. mms
Authentication .. not set
These are straight from my fone.

hi thanks for the reply, I do have the vodafone setting when I click start etc so i can recieve my credit in phone via sms etc but its just that I need some way to input the correct vodafone live settings into the phone. Surely this can be done without flashing the rom how else am I making calls etc from my vodafone sim card.
any mobile shops in sydney know how to flash the telstra model

Hi,
I just unlocked my XDA II and I'm using a Vodafone SIM in it. How do I utilize GPRS, WAP and Modem connectivity with this SIM? Is it possible to get rid of all the O2 crap installed on it, i.e. "clean" it up properly?
A new skin would be cool!
Cheers,

you are by no means the first who ask this question
And what's the answer? Is it possible at all?
--
Thomas
yes it possible the xda is not limited to o2 in anyway
you just have to set it up
to do this you need to know the connection point your provider use for mms, grps and wap (if you also want that)
there are many posts which explane how you set it up in the network forum
but if you cant find any i could explane it step by step i suppose
i dont know much about o2's settings but if it's today stuff you can turn it off under today in settings
otherwise you can always make your own rom at www.yorth.net and get a more pure non o2 custom rom
you can get tons of skins as in today skins on many sites
and at yorth.net you can also get phone skins or have explaned how to make them yourself
Works fine now, thanks. Vodafone's acces point is named 'internet' (which was easy to read off the SIM), and the user/passwd is web/web (had to call them up to get that). So GPRS works fine. Needs some more info to set a Modem connection, but it shouldn't be hard.
The reason for my original posting, was that I was lead to believe that O2 had "locked" the device, which is not the case at all.
Anyway, thanks for info. Btw, the link you mention does not work...
Cheers,

my bad
http://www.yorch.net/
spelling issue
Ttm, I'm confused. :shock: I am in the same situation as you (xda II with vodafone sim), yet i cannot connect GPRS using your settings. The settings I connect with are APN: pp.vodafone.co.uk with the same user/password as you. This connects fine yet i cannot send or receive emails.
Am i doing something wrong? have i missed something in the setup? what do you reckon? :?:
cheers, coj
well one thing is to be able send mails and another is to get mail working
can you get IE working ?
Yes, IE is working fine and dandy
then i doubt it's a grps issue
if you put in all the mail settings like
pop3 and smpt if you used those protocols
and it still dont work with your type of mail protocol
then i would contact the phone company to see if they rout
your type of mails
Would anyone be able to take the time to post here in detail the settings for O2 MMS in Ireland on a contract bill plan?
I was on to o2 support but it didn't work and got the impression the staff wasn't really up to 100% on the XDA - probably more used to regular cellphones.
I'd appreciate the help from someone with a working mms service on o2 contract.
Many thanks to all
Conor
you could try the o2 website,
there is a section in mms area (get the settings), which allows you to send yourself the appropriate settings via sms.
try it anyway and let us know how u get on.
I'm in the north so the settings may not be applicable for your region.
good luck anyway.
Thanks but no settings there
Cheers, but they only allow you to send the settings and install them automatically by sms. There's no option to send to an XDA - just Nokia etc...
Can someone just copy them down here from their o2 monthly contract XDA?
Thanks again
Conor
ok conor,
we'll give it a go then, what details do you need and I'lli try to supply them.
MMS blues...
Thanks David!
I'm not sure if N. Ireland settings are the same for Galway but sure, let's see!
For a start, does it connect via MMS Network, or GPRS or My ISP, or The Internet etc.?
I can't send at all. But I do receive notifications of a new mms and who it's from, but when I tap download it tries to download but gets stuck there forever without succeeding. Here's what I got from o2 support but it doesn't work.
Connect to server O2IE (the server name)
Gateway - 192.168.090.074
Server address http://mmsc.mms.o2.ie:8002 (I think!)
Thanks again!

MMS O2 Ireland
Hi Dan
Thanks for that - but I doubt the uk settings would work in Ireland.
O2 here tried to help so I guess I'm registered for these services.
GPRS works fine the prob is just MMS
Thanks again though!
If any Irish o2 pay monthly users could copy down their settings it might help.
Best regards to all
Conor
Conor,
sorry this took so long, got kinda busy elsewere.
have just looked and the connection was set on My Work Network,
I thought it was/should be, via the MMS network.
will have to try and see if it is still working.
the rest of the settings you gave matched mine except for the .ie replacing the .uk, and different gateway no's, this again could be a UK thing.
If I remember correctly I had some serious trouble at the beginning, I think it was something to do with the Rom version, when I upgraded it from 1.60, the MMS service started to function perfectly.
Rom?
Hi
My ROM is 1.60.00WWE
do you know if I'm up to date?
Cheers!
Conor
Hi Conor,
If you unlock your extended rom, there will be a couple of files relating to O2 customisation. It's made easier by using the horrible Active Today settings which can custimise your device for use in Ireland. I'm sure the settings are also made for the mms program. (sorry, I don't use it myself!)
As for the rom version, I think the lastest O2 rom is 1.66 which is available from their site, you could also go to version 1.72 which is available from this site. I'm at 1.72 and think it's fine.
Cheerio
Howard
Thanks Howard, David and all!
I'll try upgrading the RoM
very grateful indeed

Hi,
I had a quick search but my problem persists, and please forgive me if this is silly, but I'm new to this Windows Mobile Stuff!
I'm trying to get Vodafone Live working on my Exec. I can get to the Vodafone Live homepage but it is text only, there are no photos or any 3G native content/options like video downloads.
I have set my access point as "internet" and username/password fields as "wap" but still no joy. What am I missing?
I know there is a CAB file on the i-mate website with the settings but cause I have the Exec I can't download it, please help!!!!!!
Unfortunately I don't think this can be done.
As with users who converted the v800 into the z800 even with the correct settings Vodafone live no longer recognises the device as 3g-live capable.
They use the HTTP user agent string to tailor the page to the device and if that changes (which it did V800->Z800) to one not currently used by a vodafone supplied device then the basic WAP style plaintext site is offered.
There's no way to spoof the user agent, don't forget the VPA IV isn't out yet, and even when it does arrive the user agent will likely be tweaked by the bespoke firmware, so even then you'll need to flash it with the horrid Vodafone red styling to see the correct Live site...
Incidentally, all you need to do to set up Vodafone 3G is use the APN name 'Internet' - the username and password fields are redundant, they can see the device is on their network and from the HLR I believe will already know you've access to 3G services so you just need to specify which APN you're looking to use.
I have a JJ and a 3G Vodafone SIM. The .cab files are just for the APN setup etc and like you I cant get the Vodafone content. It must have a URL but its not the default Live favorite on my JJ
No, it's the fact that the device passes a string to the webserver containing the identity of the user agent, and Vodafone don't sell a jasjar or an Exec, so don't have pages tailored for it.
Is this situation likely to change when the VDA IV get released?
if the VPA IV has a different user agent string then only if you use the voda firmware or someone works out how to customise them to that degree, otherwise no.
I HAVE XDA EXEC Working On Vodafone 3G & GRPRS
I have this working on my XDA EXEC.
Make Sure your phone is unlocked for Vodafone
Sim.
The access point is "internet" as you said, however the username and password are both "web" not "wap". Leave everything else as default.
tried your suggestion - no luck. i think the APN is for contract vodafone customers. PAYG has a diferent APN.
anyway, when you say it words, are you getting the full live! screens? i can only see the text (very wap looking) screens, and no links to entertainment, which i can see if i use my nokia 6330.
I've recently acquired an xda mini s from 02 as a free upgrade, however i want to put a vodafone sim card in it.
I've got the gprs working, but the mms isnt at all.
I've tried numerous cab files, can anyone help? maybe typing the settings in by hand?
please
Jaxx
sounds like you've done a soft reset after a hard reset bypassing the extended rom install? The only way to get the MMS application is to hard reset and do a "Basic" install then remove the O2 stuff from the Windows startup folder. Once you've done this you'll have the MMS app with O2 settings that you can just change to Vodafone settings.
Ok, tried this and still not workin.
What is going on here?!
do you meand MMS isn't working still or you still don't even have MMS in Pocket outlook
Do a search for removing the O2 stuff, there are many topics with the cab files to install to recover the MMS inbox
If however you have the inbox, just not the settings call vodafone and get them to tell / e-mail you
or go here http://www.filesaveas.com/gprs.html
I managed to fix this problem finally.
The problem was that the MMS software was trying to connect using the vodafone Live access point, which isn't correct. had to set up a whole new connection for the MMS settings, it is now working fine.
Any chance you could post those settings here as I'm having exactly the same problem?
SMS is fine it's just the MMS I cant get working, Inbox is there just the setting that seem to be wrong.
This helped me out:

I can now send, but not receive MMS with my voda sim on my mini-s
Perfect Thanks,
I can now send and recieve MMS, SMS and Surf the "world wide wait"
Not sure why you cant recieve MMS though, I followed your instructions to the letter and all worked straight away, albeit a bit slow but then I think that's a tarrif thing with Vodafone. (I'm on a corporate contract with my own unlocked Mini-s)
I dont suppose you know the URL to access the Vodafone live site as well do you?
Hello, I have the same issue. But l'm on O2 , using o2 mini S , device. I can receive and download MMS , but I can't send MMS to another person. Is the any thing I miss? l'm using corporate mode.
Not sure about the corporate mode but I do know that unless you have the settings in exactly the right places you will have problems.
This link from earlier in the post should help you solve your problem though.
The second link is for Vodafone but use it to give you an idea of where you should be setting up the various elements.
You could also try searching for "O2 MMS Settings"

Thanks for your vote!
