Every time I connect to MOBILE WEB GPRS or WAP NETWORK GPRS, I get the following error:
"Cannot connect for an unkown reason. To check your connection settings and change them if needed tap Settings. If the problem continues, reset your mobile device according to your manufacturer's documentation and try again."
With a "Settings" link and a Dismiss button below that, in a bubble pointing from the Network/Coverage bars logo on the taskbar.
Please? Anyone?

Hi,
Just need some clarification here - have you ever been able to access GPRS on this or any other mobile device?
I say this because I had exactly the same problem when I purchased my XdaII. Despite several (lengthy) calls to 02 Customer Services, each one accompanied by a request to activate GPRS (and an assurance that it would work within 24 hours), nothing happened.
It turned out that I was on an old, non-GPRS-enabled (but cheap!) tariff. Once the tariff was changed, everything worked fine (but after 5 days, not 24 hours - the XdaII just suddenly burst into life and I could suddenly email and everything!).
I got a refund for my calls to Customer Services, too...
Cheers
Gadget :roll:
Well mate, I've been using it on this tariff before.
I'll explain:
I was happily emailing etcetera, then an unfortunate incident occured where my screen cracked, so I sent it off to the service centre.
£150 later... I had a new screen AND a hard-reset
New SIM too... because I lost the old one in the mean time (XDA Service centre are seriously [email protected], it takes them 3 weeks not the quoted 3 days).
So New Sim and practically new phone... I had no GPRS
Bollocks bollocks bollocks.

I get this sometimes when I swap sims. Needs a hard reset or re-run the O2 active setup thingy
So I got my new phone yesterday and decided that I might as well activate the new SIM that came with it, since mine in almost 4 years old, and I didn't upgrade it the last time I got a phone from them.
Well here we are 16 hours later & my phone will still not connect to the network, and my old SIM and been disconnected. So I have no way of making or recieving calls. Before I activated it I tried my old SIM in the 8125 and it worked fine Even without installing any of the Cingular Extended ROMs.
I guess I will have to go into a store latter this afternon and have them work it out.
Also when I went to install ActiveSync It wouldn't let me because I didn't have all of the service packs installed in XP. (I am using an early edition, and keep the updates turned off) so it took 2 hours of downloading and installing updates before I could even sync.
On the up side, I was able to CID unlock it and upgraded to the custom ROM that summiter posted, Installed Reg Wizard, Total Comander, and Weather to Go. I am also able to use WiFi at home.
Next things to do are Get the dam thing on the network, then install a VoIP client so I can use my Broadvoice VoIP on it. then decide on a GPS program and get that going.
Sorry for the long post. Thanks to all of you for giving so much info & Help.
I wouldn't change any thing to do with CID unlocking or the ROM till they fix it. You could end up in one of those situations
You: "it wont make calls."
Them: "you changed the ROM (unlocked cid), that's why it don't work."
You: "Id didn't work before I did that."
Them: "Well it voids your warranty."
You: "but..."
Them: "Bend over, we're drivin'!"

The problem was the SIM card they sent me was bad, I went and got a new one and it works great now.
hi all, im new to the site and to my wizard (got it last month). I bought it from a friend of mine who hasnt paid his bill in a while....well, i stuck my prepaid sim in it and... well to my amazment i got full blown internet for free (using it to make this post)... not to mention use it as a (albiet slow) modem for my pc......hmm.
so, found this website, overclocked my wizard (thanks to omapclock/plus) among other stuff and then looked for a post about this but found old stuff from 2004 so I was just wondering if this was common knowledge or am i the first person with a p/p wizard.
ps. i love this phone
kiss my @$$ razr
are you sure, you are not connected to WLAN?
I have a Wizzard (k-Jam) on Prepaid and I do not get free internet, that has nothing to do with the phone, its purely to do with your network provider, and good luck finding cheap, let alone free, gprs in australia
I got my T-mobile MDA sometimes last year... cancelled my t-mobile contract n got a prepaid SIMcard(T-mobile)... hadn't put a penny(re-fill) since Oct. 2006 n data works just fine(EDGE), i was surprised... I really feel sorry for T-Mobile, only if they knew :-D. I connect my Pc too using my Wizard (Internet Share)... can't remember last time i used WIFI coz all the hotspot connections are locked/secured where i live, had to go for walk to get the unlocked ones :-D.... Oh and there was a time i could send text too on my phone when my prepaid SIMcard was out of funds, i had to resend texts 6 times though blah blah blah... Anyway, i feel really sorry for those people with Data plan on their phone ... (T-Mobile Data plan $29.99)Ouchhh. And i hear some other wireless networks charge more, so sad.
First to post i think
i posted this on Jan 5, i also tought that i was the first to notice but someone in Howardforums posted this in there. i think i posted this first and then two other people too and welcome to the forums but i posted this in the general forums not in the wizard forums
U might be the first one to posted it... but other people have figured it out way long before u posted it... :-D. Personally i've been using the free internet since Oct. last year.
wow!!! can someone PM me the details on how to get the free internet. I reside in canada as well.
Frankly, i find this very hard to believe, but still i think it's caused by the bad management of the network.
This happened to me few months ago :
Me: Hello, i would like to activate the 12MB/month data plan
Provider: Of course, please tell me what phone you're using
Me: (After half an hour trying to explain that i don't have a Nokia)It's a PDA, manufactered by HTC.
Provider: Let me check....music for 30sec-1min...I checked and it seems that your device is not compatible with our services.
Me: Ha ? That is not possible, please tell me the settings (apn and such) so i can connect to the internet.
Provider: What nokia model you said you have ?
Me:(already tearing my hear) What devices you know that they are compatible ?
Provider: SonyErricsson...nokia....so on
Me: Well, i have a...ehm..Sony.(one that she said it's working...yeah it was a she)
Provider: Ok, i will send you the settings on mail.
Bottom line :
All the darn settings i waited over an hour for were these :
apn=internet
i wouldn't overclock over 260 btw. but if no problems good for you. some have messed up there phone that way. all white screen, lines, reboots. gl

With no problems flashed brand new UK O2 XDA Orbit (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314866 - Windows Mobile 5.0 ROM in memory card, just in case).
Even easier than XDA Mini S. Beautifull. Now 4 hours configuring . Love it.
Thanks guys. Keep the good work !
thanks step0011 man!!, my super hero!!
I spent more than 3 weeks to find this ROM
It's kinda funny that it just leaked accidentally by the repairing service.
I'll try it tonight if it's work with the O2 company one not the T-Mobile.
thanks again!!
ps. I don't know it's gonna work with T-Mobile only or both O2 and T-Mobile.
i have the xda orbit on o2, i just use t-mobile sim because they offer unlimited GPRS
I tried and it works perfectly as it used to.
anyway, got a bunch of thanks to step0011, you are goddess!!
Just a couple of words to say congratulations on finding this elusive rom...
...and a big thank-you for sharing it!!!

orbit on t-mobile
Hey step0011.
I have a quick question - OT.
I also have an orbit with t-mobile (unlimited gprs) but cannot get the voicemail to work as the orbit will drop the 0 on the voicemail number (+440627843******). Any ideas on how to overcome this? I tried dropping the +44 but i still get a message from t-mobile that i've dialled the wrong number.
Thanks
ben
You drop the +44 and insert a 0 (zero) in its place.
lol good question i usually just dial 222... i'll get back to you on that soon

hehe cracked it... rite... in the infinate wisdome of microsoft (being smart arses) have taken it opon themselves to automatically drop the 0 after +44 so just put 2 0's instead of 1 e.g +4400737*******
I opened my account with T-mobile three days ago with a talk plan and the unlimited data/messaging plan. I wasn't able to connect to their internet so I called them, and they basically said "look, it hasn't been 48 hours so we can't help you".
I had the CR86 rom on my phone (which I loved, btw) and had it all set up nice and whatnot. So I called back yesterday and after 45 minutes of checking settings and talking to three different tech reps, the last one said that I would have to flash the phone with the official T-mo rom (T-Mobile MDA Software Version (2.26.10.2)) and that would allow me to connect.
So I did. Prior to this, with the CR86 I was getting the Edge icon on my screen. I just flashed the phone with the T-mo rom, and now I don't even get the E. When I try to connect it gives me the message 'The answering modem has disconnected.'
Can anyone offer any suggestions?
