Hi,
I have an unlocked XDA using a Vodafone GPRS sim. I have followed the directions posted on this board to configure the GPRS and when I connect through the system settings, connections I (for a short while) get the 'G' symbol appear and then I get a connection dropped sound.
Is this due to a poor connection, or is there something wrong with the setup?
VODAFONE GPRS
I am using these settings:-
Modem type : Cellular Line (GPRS)
Baud rate : 19200
IP Address : Server assigned
Software compression : Off
Header Compression : Off
DNS : Server assigned
ALT DNS : Server assigned
WINS : Server assigned
ALT WINS : Server assigned
AccessPointName (APN): internet
Username : web
Password : web
Domain : none
Dialing locations
area code : 425
country code : 1
Dialing patterns
local : G
long distance : none
international : G
Thanks guys, big help
Those settings worked for me in the UK with Vodafone, many thanks!
UK Vodafone GPRS
I have had all sorts of fun with Vodafone GPRS recently. It used to work then it packed up about a month ago for no apparent reason. After 6 calls to Vodafone support and all the usual hassle with trying to convince them that an O2 XDA will work with Vodafone it turned out they had disabled my GPRS account without telling me.
It took a further two calls to get the APN internet renabled. It seems that GPRS means WAP access to Vodafone, not necessarily internet access through an APN. Worth giving them a call to make sure you account is fully enabled for internet as well as WAP.

Happy new year to all
I got my xda ii couple days ago and trying to set up the internet on it. I don't have a GPRS data plan because it's quite costly here in Canada ($20 for 3mb). I have a RAS server at home using ADSL which capable of connecting any desktop or laptop to internet using phone line dialup. However, when i try to setup the connection for my xda ii, it received the following message:
Cannot Connect
Dialed: +9059999999
---------------------------------------------------
No modem at above number. To check your
connection settings and change them if
needed, tap settings.
Settings Dismiss
My Settings:
Start\Settings\Connections\Connections\My ISP\Test1
Select a modem: cellular line
Phone number: +9059999999 (9999999 assume it's my home phone)
User name: test1
Password: xxxxx
Again, when i use a laptop to dial in from a remote location, it works. So the RAS server works fine.
I don't hear any sounds from the xda nor my home phone rings. Not sure if i need a driver for it. I m in Canada using Rogers AT&T.
Thanks

Same problem
I'm also a recent XDA II user and am experienceing the same problem with my ISP in Austrlia. As I understood the doco, we should be able to dial into an ISP just like on a PC with land line. I hope this can work.

Dialing Pattern
In the XDA I, it has Dialing Pattern setting. Default at (+EFG), where E=country code, F=area code, G=tel number). If the number u put in the Telephone Number field includes Country, then modify Dialing Patter to (G) only.

On the Australian Telstra network, to use straight GSM dail through you should set the CSD Line Type to 9600 V.32. It ain't fast be it is cheaper than the standard 2c per K on GPRS.
is this your problem

I was having the same problem you were having. I configured and got the GPRS and mms working and now all of the sudden the dial into ras using cellular gsm works ? Go figure

Let me furnish the detailed setting, assuming T-Mobile USA (adjust it accordingly if your service provider is a different one.)
Start | Settings | Connections tabb | Connections
... to The Internet ... [New ...]
General tab: [CSD Dial-up ISP Conn]
Modem tab: New ...
Name: [ISP Modem Conn]
Modem: [Cellular Line]
Baud rate: [19200] (you can leave this default alone but 9600 is high enough)
Leave Advanced ... settings alone
Country code: [1]
Area code: [425] (my default, leave it alone)
Phone Number: [4257861000]
Finish
Leave Proxy Settings alone
For free ISP's, see FAQ

Back at the Connections page:
Dialing Locations tab:
Locations: [Home]
Click on Dialing Patterns ...
Put [G][G][G] as instructed by jcabuslay above. This step is critically important and where I was stuck. T-Moble tier 2 tech guy got me over the hump (first 2 tier 2's didn't really know how; it took 3 tier 2's to get it right!). Note T-Mobile US uses plain 10 digit dialing plan for US domestic long distance (optionally preceded with a 1 works too) and G fits that.
Click on Connect to connect. Or start to browse the internet and the connection is made on demand.
The first time connecting, you are promted for username and password, which are saved (but you can't get to it to see or change them; you can only delete the whole setting and recreate it in case you needed to change username or password).
I create a Work CSD setting for dialing up to work modem pool similarly. I use
http://www.mochasoft.dk/f_download2.html
for access to my UNIX account at work over the Work CSD setting.
Chances are that the LAN you dial up to at work is connected to Internet so you can avoid the hastle of finding a free ISP.
CSD connection comes handy since by and large, when you are not at work is when you need to make the connection, i.e. nights and weekends, when T-Mobile US is free - you get free data / Internet connection.
When the issue of making XDA your Internet gateway is resolved, this CSD connection would allow your laptop to have Internet on the go, see thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=6378
If you can get your XDA to behave as a wireless modem, you can create similar CDS settings on your laptop.
Have fun!
i'm trying to make an ATD call to conenct to a remote unit in order to make a CSD connection. However i get a NOCARRIER error. I called the network poeple and they tell me i need to select GPRS or CSD before doing an ATD.
Would someone agree with that ?? How would i do so ? (guessing its an AT command)
I am using a Treo 750v and when I try to setup a CSD dial-up connection I can't find the settings for: "Baud rate: [19200] (you can leave this default alone but 9600 is high enough)" anywhere.
I can select Modem: "Cellular Line" but no other sub-settings. Any idea?
Thanks!
Is anybody using their JasJar on the Three network, i tried a matees sim in mine and i was able to do video, but i was wondering about all the other Three services. Live TV, football downloads and the like, do they work, if so what do you need to do to access all these features. I am thinking about going to Three from O2 (No 3G Service in my area), so any advice would help.
Also do three allow full internet access?
Cheers
Richard
Tried my current "three" sim and it worked fine as a phone - not tried video call
When I changed settings- I did get a GPRS ( 3G- shows as U on xda exec) connection - to a pager telling me to sign up ( ie its not free / inclusive in normal tarrifs)
They do mobile web ( not sure you get full internet access) 5mb at £2.50
OR
wireless web - which costs £45 per month for 512Mb of data
these are as an extra to a contract
http://www.three.co.uk/explore/howmuch/addons/payMonthlyindex05.omp
I have previously tried them for dial up , using a mobile as a modem ( geog no for ISP) but they know its data call and block it ( or at least did for me )-
What are the GPRS settings for THREE ?
Can you get to the normal THREE menus via the Universal?
Ive used the THREE menus on my old XDAII but lost the settings now. I got them from a nokia 7600 a friend had.
All I changed was the homepage to three.co.uk
settings
hello
i too have a '3' sim with 6 months left on contract but i am having difficulty finding connection settings to access the three network.
i would like to use the mms facility and also mobile internet
any help please.
thanks
Right, for Hutchinson 3G UK (3) you need to use the following settings.
Connection
Connection Type:
GPRS/3G
Access Point:
three.co.uk
Username & Password:
LEAVE BLANK
MMS Settings
Gateway:
217.171.129.2
Port:
9201
Server address:
http://mms.um.three.co.uk:10021/mmsc
As for being able to browse 3's "Services", I found the homepage won't display correctly.

For the APN, just type in "etisalat.ae" and leave the other fields blank.
I think it costs 2 fils per kb....
Hi,
I've got a new Cingular 8125. I do not have the unlimited Data plan, so I can't connect (without paying out the wazoo) to EDGE or other Cingular networks. I'm curious whether it's even possible to simply dial in to my ISP's (earthlink) local dial-up number and establish an internet connection that way. I've tried it a few times without success.
Robert
I haven't tried it with the Wizard as i have T-Mobile's data plan, but on my old Nokia 3220 you could just replace the "special" number with your ISP's number. It was about as fast as a normal 56K. Do note though that it will be charged just like a normal voice call!

Hi,
I've unlocked T-Mobile DVP and I am currently on business in Asia. My operator here has GPRS (no 3G).
Here are my operator settings -
Account name: INTERNET
APN: TATA.DOCOMO.INTERNET
Proxy Address : 0.0.0.0
Port : 0
User ID : Blank
Password : Blank
These same settings work on HTC Mozart on my associates phone but I can't configure these on DVP. Is there a way to create new WAP profile in order to get Data services running.
Please let me know.

I think you need to get to the Diagnostic Menu
dial ##634# and you may need to hit “call” but on mine you I don't have to the menu comes up.
The option for MMS will allow you to input your settings.
I think you dont need any APN for GPRS. You can simply leave everything blank and it should automatically connect once you set Data Connection to ON.
Tata Docomo has good coverage. BSNL has the best coverage in India with 3G connectivity across India. If you want 3G connectivity across India you should go with BSNL they are the best
