Ok, I bought this Siemens on Ebay and it came with the Special Editon ROM 1.2. Problem is I can't ever seem to get it to connect to ATT Wireless, it has T-Mobile options but it appears to not allow ATT Wireless. It works fine as a phone and it accepts the ATT Sim Card. I went to AT&T and set up the connection so that I can connect to att GPRS. Well it connects however anytime i try to access e-mail or any website in IE or any of the web programs that came with this rom it will give me a page can't be found error. Anyone have a fix? Thank you!!!!
You should be able to connect without any problems, so I would guess your troubles are in your connection settings and not the software on your device. Do you still have the SER (a version 3 ROM) on the device or have you burned on a version 4 (WM 2003) ROM? The whole connection setting setup changed quite a bit between the two, so we'll need to know.
Where would i finf that info you requested? I unfortunately just got the device with the rom installed in it. Gotta love Ebay. I followed the tutorial on AT&T's website and it connects but any software will say page can't be found etc
This is what I did:
Setup Guide - PocketPC 2002
Setting up the Connection
Tap Start, then tap on the Settings icon from the drop-down menu.
Select the Connections tab, then tap on the Connections icon.
In the top drop-down menu, tap on the down arrow and select New...
Type in a name for your connection in the General tab window, such as AT&T GPRS. (This is the name you will see when you look in the top drop-down list on the Connections screen.)
Tap on the Modem tab, and tap on New... in the Name/Number window.
Type in a name for your connection settings, such as AT&T GPRS, then tap on the down arrow beneath "Select a modem:" and tap on the Cellular Line (GPRS) modem to select it. Tap Next to continue.
Type proxy in the Access point name field.
Tap Finish to complete the setup.
Tap OK to return to the Settings screen for the newly created connection.
Tap the Proxy Settings tab. Make sure that This network connects to the internet and This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet are both checked. In the Proxy server: field type localhost. Tap the Advanced... button.
Type localhost in the HTTP field and 9090 for the port. Type 10.250.250.250 in the WAP field and 9201 for the port. Type localhost in the Socks field and 1080 for the port. In theType: section, select Socks 4. Leave the User ID and Password fields blank.
Tap OK and tap OK to return to the Connections screen.
Making the Connection
In the top drop-down menu, select the AT&T GPRS connection you had created.
Tap Connect to establish your connection.
At the Network Log On screen, leave all of the fields blank and tap OK.
A status dialog will appear showing the status of the connection. Tap Hide to hide the status dialog.
You are now connected to the AT&T Wireless GPRS service.
Ok here you go take a look at the below thread and see if it helps:

Do yo have any solution?

Will the only other suggestion that I have is to roll back to the
SX56 ROM A.20.17.
It can be found at:
http://www.my-siemens.com/com.apert.../da/us/mw/mc/mc/ruuv1.11_cea.20.17wwe_aws.exe
How-To roll back/reinstall:
Download the above A&T& SX56 update.
Run the downloaded .exe file.
Once it has finished 'unpacking files', cancel out of it. It should leave everything in place in the C:\Program Files\SX56 upgrade utility.
Now download adaptROM.exe from:
http://xda-developers.com/adaptROM/
Place the adaptROM.exe in C:\Program Files\SX56 upgrade utility
Then go to DOS and run adaptROM.exe from the C:\Program Files\SX56 upgrade utility folder.
After adaptROM run the AT&T SX56 update again it will attempt to unpack files, **Say NO TO ALL when it asks to overwrite**. This time, go all through the update. It will update the Radio first, then the ROM of your device.

Work-around to proxy problem with 4.1.0 upgrade for ATT SX56
I just went through the same operation to upgrade my AT&T SX56 to the
latest pre-release of T-Mobile's 4.1.0 from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=21147&highlight=#21147
I followed the same steps as MrDJ described six messages earlier, and
had a similar problem to his and deepblack's, even after doing what Qman
suggested with the APN field in
http://xda-developers.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=17622#17622
I discovered that the problem also occurrs when connected through my
laptop's network card using ActiveSync, and that gave me a clue. So I
went back to my AT&T connection settings and did one other proxy
related thing.
Go the the Proxy tab and uncheck "This network uses a proxy server to
connect to the internet". After applying this setting, I was able to connect
through either the phone or the ActivevSync network connection. It turns
out that the "Access point name" in my configuration is still set to "proxy",
but it doesn't seem to matter since the connection doesn't use a proxy per
the Proxy tab.
Thanks again to XDA Developer's for running this site. It's one of the best
run and most helpful user communities I've ever seen.
HELP!! can't seem to setup internet connection Siemens SX56
Now that it's unlocked from AT&T wireless, I am able to use it on my Cincinnati Bell Wireless (an AT&T affiliate - we don't have AT&T service available in Cincinnati) as a phone and PDA only without internet connection. But their tech guys 'don't support that phone' so they can't give me the Access Point Name or WAP settings etc. to try and connect to the internet. I do have a GPRS connection and actually had already setup a WEBCLIENT account with them from my old Blackberry days (that phone sucked).
Anyway, I tried all the connection settingS as follows:
GPRS Connection, Cellular Line (GPRS), GPRS Connection +0 ~GPRS!
APN 'BLANK' (tried 'proxy' but that didn't work either)
PROXY SETTINGS:
PROXY SERVER: localhost
HTTP: localhost PORT: 9090
WAP: 10.250.250.250 PORT:9201
SOCKS: localhost PORT:1080
SOCKS 4
So, now what? I don't know where to get help and what more I need to do. I think that I need a string between +0 and ~GPRS but I don't know what it is or where to get that information.
When I try to connect now, I get a Trouble Connecting message:
"There is no answer at the number dialed. Verify phone number and then try again. To change your connection settings, tap Settings. If the problem continues, contact your ISP or network administrator."
I would really appreciate your input on this.
Thank you.
Shmi
Im having the same problem with cincy bell...any help would be greatly appcrieated.

I too spoke to O2 today. I spoke to the guy I normally speak to and he said that they are having trouble with getting PPC 2003 working :evil: Are we all doomed to a life without GPRS :shock: It seems so until I flash my ROM back to XDA-Dev 1.2
I'll keep bugging O2 until they can give me an answer about the GPRS settings. Perhaps a new version of the ROM is required :?:
Gil.
Same here, I do not have those settings, they are settings from 2002, 2003 is quiet different, has anyone got it going and how please.
Leave the DNS settings on Auto and give it a try - mine is working fine. Although I'm convinced O2 had a GPRS network problem in my neck of the woods the other week.
w00t, it works
As cliffai says remove the IP address from DNS and set it to auto detect and you connect OK. And it is way fater
Gil.
:?: go on then ppl post the setting you have for it to work, as mine still will not play ball, if i flash back to the dev1.2 its all working again but I want it working on wm2003
thanks
Please can some one help out with the settings, I can't get GPRS working at all. Can someone just do a walk through, step by step for the slower people like myself.
:roll: :wink:

xda-rocks, I have set mine up like that and it still dont work
if i use the se1.2 or even the 02 rom my grps work great
but if i use the wm2003 rom it dont connect etc?
which version of the rom are you using and were from?, radio version also?
thanks
mine is as follows
02 32mb xda (uk)
my location manchester, uk
Boot Loader 5.14
G325s54
R4.21.00
4.00.01
(the phone call part works fine, just no grps, gsm etc)
rom from ftp://195.64.88.44/ (from what I remeber)
or can anyone else post the same info for there rom?
maybe theres more than one version build etc???
GPRS not working
Yes I have the same problem, my phone works fine and all other functions seem fine except I have no access to the SD card, it does show up at all. I just can not get GPRS going. I noticed that when the phone is in the sync cradle and PC is connected to the internet there is no internet on the phone where as there was with PPC2002.
ANY IDEAS PLEASE..........
Note: I also downloaded from FTP: 195.64.88.44 for rom upgrade.
i can access my sd card no problem, coonect to the internet with sync, its just my gsd and gprs thats comp. dead, with this rom???
maybe you have to reformat your sd card for it to work??, and have you set you internet to use the dial up or you sync connection, i had to change my back to get it back working when i was syncing etc?
I got mine from here...
Server: ftp.zensay.com
user: qtek
passwd: qtek
When it was originally posted
Only thing I did was had to go into the bootloader screen and set the GSM back to 900 & 1800 after I had gone into the band setting screen in the 2003OS
Sorry to say setting up GPRS was a sinch,
APN name
User name
Password
thats it,
I also checked whether PAP or CHAP authentication makes a difference and it connects with either although CHAP is possibly a bit slower to connect.
Obvious question the phone is displaying the the G symbol when you tap the aerial icon? As I said I had all sorts of GPRS problems the other week which I put down to network issues as nothing else had changed - G symbol wasn't always coming on when switching on the phone - and transfering the SIM to my old T39 showed the GPRS coming and going every few minutes.
cliffai, which bootloader etc are you using, and did you upgrade yours by the programme a or sd way?
as mine is still not working looks like i am going back to the 1.2 xda rom then
ps: yes mine is always showing the G in the info etc, so i know its ment to be on gprs, but even without the G i can not even get a gsm connection also?
So SO SO simple
Yes I reformated the card on card reader on PC and yes the phone now see's the card
THANKS THANKS THANKS :lol: :lol:
Now just the GPRS to go and everthing will be trick..........
I upgraded via SD and the boot loader is 5.15
maybe that has something to do with it then, my bootloader is 5.14?, I going and getting a card reader in about a hour so i will do a sd card upgrade and let ppl know how it goes ltr
ps thanks for the file ciffai
I'm using the same roms as Grim_Evil:
G32s54
R4.21.00
4.00.01
Except I'm using Boot Loader 5.15
I just bought a (German ver.) MDA II. I have followed every tutorial I came across to set my phone for Cingular GPRS. I've signed up for the internet service through Cingular so this thing should work.
When I try to connect to the GPRS it says:
Cannot Connect
-------------------------------
Cannot connect for unknown reasons....
What can I possibly be doing wrong? Trust me, I have tried every different setting I ran across i.e. WAP, Data, Dialing Rules.
I know nothing (yet) about flashing or editing a ROM but intend on learning later. Is it possible that someone out there has a pre-configed ROM that I could flash this thing to solve _all_ of my problems?
Although this phone is from Germany, I believe the company I bought it through flashed the ROM for me to the English version??
ROM Version: 1.60.00WWE
ROM Date:12/03/03
Radio Version: 1.06.01
Protocol Version: 1337.16

Is it my settings? Is it my ROM version? Am I holding my tongue right?
I beg and plead for your help.

cmccarter - Thanks for all of the info. I am much closer than before. I can connect via WAP now and my MMS is now configured correctly. THANKS!! BUT!!! It's still not allowing me to connect via GPRS. It still says that it cannot connect for unknown reasons. What else could I check??
What do you mean you couldn't get it to work after adding the media works package? Which connection stoped working?
Which brings me to another question; why would I use WAP over CSD or Data over CSD?? I don't know the difference. Heck, I don't even know the difference between WAP & GPRS. Can you tell I'm confused?
I used Afrocream's GPRS settings on this thread:
CLICK
They're almost identical, but what the heck. Works for me. Be careful of your entries and the CASE. UPPERCASE must be uppercase.
Also, be aware that (I believe) the SMS dial number *might* be regional. My phone uses a different number.
For more info on the differences between CSD & GPRS go to:
http://www.howardforums.com/
In the Cingular Message area there you will find lots of info.
I was unable to get the connection to isp.cingular to work and after talking to the CSRs at Cingular determined that it was not included in the Media Works package... no great loss as you can apparently tether to wap.cingular just as well. (tether= connect your pc via your phone using a cable, bluetooth or IR)
I might be mistaken but I have the Mediaworks package and, other than WAP sites, I'm connecting to isp.cingular.
re:
i just switched over to cingular and for the life of me cannot connect ot gprs or wap. i followed the direstions to the letter and im stuck please help...
seattleboi -- from what you posted it's very difficult to know what's going on. What happens when you try to connect? Are you sure there's no error in your entries (a slight typo, an unneeded space, etc?)
Are you sure that you have GPRS enabled with Cingular and that there's no problems in your area? Have you slipped the SIM card into another phone to confirm this?
Since these settings seem to be working for most of us (with iMate and other phones) there's no easy way to figure out why it's not working for you.
i did, it works now, but for some reason like every 4 hours it will not connect even rebooting several times, i end up deleting the connection settings and end up redoing them and rebooting a couple times to get it to work, my suspsicions are starting to fall on the rom image that im using, maybe skewring them up, the Rom i am using is the latest ATT rom WM 2003 that i made in the kitchen, so later on today i guess i will have to try the t-mo rom and see is that is giving me problems, (Evidently the night i did try to connect the GPRS network was down) and yes i did try with another phone i have a 3650 at my fingertips from Cingular to try. 8)
I have an XDA1 and an o2 payandgo SIM. I have the GPRS activated and have no problem picking up my emails, but I can't use IE or MSMess. It tries to connect for a few minutes then times out. The connection details I have entered are as follows:
APN: payandgo.o2.co.uk
Username: payandgo
P/W: password
Does anyone have any idea what I can do to get IE and MSMess to work?
Excellent forum BTW, I've learnt loads in the last few days reading here...
Enable the proxy server setting in connection options and use:
193.113.200.195
You'll now be able to connect to HTML websites via Internet Explorer, but you'll not be able to use MSN Messenger via GPRS unfortunately.
seraphic, are you saying we can get full internet on O2 payg over gprs, I didnt think it was possible, I use the gsm to access the internet to use my 300 free minutes. If so can you give me the full settings.
Deke, what settings do you use to set up your pop 3 email over gprs.

Great, thanks. How do I do that? I've looked in the Connections bit, but the only reference I can find for proxy servers in under the 'Work network' section. Did I mention I'm using PPC2003?
Cruisin', I'll check my settings for you when I get home.
I'd be delighted if o2 payg did gprs,but 2 months ago they said no.I doubt if it's changed.
LMX, GPRS is definitely available on O2 P&G, I have it and use it daily for emails, it's the web-browsing I'm having trouble with.
You need to set up your GPRS settings under the work connections option so you can use a proxy.

Using the proxy server setting you can indeed view HTML sites over pay as you go GPRS. You can't use MSN Messenger, as it only allows access to port 80.
Cruisin',
Sorry for the delay in responding; here are the settings I use for email:-
First off you need to create a new account so that you have SMS, ActiveSync and eMail. Then run through the settings entering your details (all pretty straightforward stuff). The server info is dependent on whoever is your email server. I have a pop3 o2 account to make it easy, so the servers are mail.o2.co.uk (incoming) and smtp.o2.co.uk (outgoing).
Hope this helps.
Seraphic,
I'm fully webb'd up now, thanks a lot!
I have been told many times that it is possible for internet over gprs on O2 payg, I have tried every suggestion to the letter, I cannot do it, I can get wap over gprs, I can get internet over gsm. I was told by an O2 technician on this forum that it was not possible to get full internet over gprs with O2 payg sim. How can some people get it and others cant? I would be very grateful to see the full settings for the xda/xda 2 listed in a foolproof manner.
OK, full instructions:
* I recommend deleting any existing GPRS settings you have under the work connection settings before entering these to avoid confusion *
1. Go to Start -> Settings -> Connections Tab -> Connections.
2. You'll see 2 sets of option links. 'My ISP' and 'Work'. Under the work links, choose 'Add a new modem connection'.
3. Name for connection: o2 gprs. Modem: Cellular Line (GPRS). Tap Next.
4. Access Point Name: payandgo.o2.co.uk
5. Username: payandgo
6. Password: password
7. Tap Finish.
8. Back in the connections settings screen, tap 'Edit My Proxy Server'.
9. Tick 'This network connects to the Internet' and 'This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet'.
10. In the proxy server box enter: 193.113.200.195
11. Tap OK.
12. Back in the connections settings screen, tap the Advanced tab.
13. Tap 'Select Networks'
14. In both drop down boxes choose 'Work' as the connection. Tap OK.
15. Tap OK again.
16. You are now ready to surf o2 pay as you go gprs full internet.
That's what I did and it works well, but do bear in mind the O2 network is very tempremental; I've been trying to get a connection all day with no joy and I KNOW my settings are correct.
One thing I have noticed though, I can't pick up my emails anymore. It seems the outbox will only connect with an ISP connection and IE will only work with a work/proxy connection. Can I get over this somehow?
iT WORKS, IT WORKS, IT WORKS. :shock: :shock: :shock: :? 8) :lol: :wink:
Glad to hear it
Connection problems
I have just got an unlocked M1000 and I have been trying to set it up to allow me to connect to the internet using a pay as you go sim. I have followed the instructions above, but i just keep on getting errors of the page not being able to load. I know that the pages exist as I am just using big sites pages such as microsoft.com etc. at the moment. Anyone got any ideas on what the problem could be.
I think they blocked the port for internet over gprs.
Yes they have altered a lot of thinge recently. The trick to get html throught the wap portal was blocked & they also blocked all except wap on the GSM WAP dial up too. There is a different Mobile WEB GSM number but that is 40p a minute so GPRS would probably be cheaper.
Mobile Web on Pay and Go
Dingo mentions that there's another GSM number that's 40p a min to access mobile web....................does this mean I can actually get full HTML web access on my Pay and Go XDA ????? How (what's the number?)
I only need to surf HTML pages occasionally - so it's not worth going to contract .................
Thanks
I have just purchased a k-jam and I am on a vodafone uk contract and I am not being able to connect to the internet. Can someone give me any advice on the necessary connection methods. Vodafone are not being of any help.
Assuming you have GPRS etc enabled on the SIM and its a contract SIM
use the following:
username: web
password: web
APN/Access Point Name: internet
Should work fine..
The best way to go online with your contract is to use GPRS. This is very easy to set up on the Wizard.
Firstly click Settings
Then click the Connections tab at the bottom
Next select Connections
Under My ISP, choose 'Add a new modem connection'
Give the connection a name (e.g. Vodafone GPRS) and select the modem type as 'Cellular Line (GPRS)'. Then click next.
Now enter the 'Access Point Name' as internet and click next.
Now enter the User Name as web and the password as web and finally click finish.
That should do it. Now open internet explorer and enter a web page and you should be ok. You will, of course, have to setup your e-mail settings separately.
Hope this helps
Hi,
Just unzip this and Install the Vodafone CAB.
Hi tried installing Vodafone_UK_PAYT.CAB on my XDA Mini S, goes through the install ok, but for some reason it doesn't seem to add any of the settings
Any ideas why? Does it need the k-kam ROM or some additional settings from this for it to work?
thanks in advance
Graeme
i wouldn't bother with the cab file at all. just set it up manually.
there is a good tutorial on vodafone web site:

sry, stupid me. thats for an external phone modem ....
sorry to hyjack fellas but same topic . I have a wanadoo broadband contract and use a wireless modem router for my home PC network.
How do I set the wizard up to utilise this? please make it simple fellas :roll:
ok sorry doh all sorted now. Just had to click on the wifi icon and its connected surfin yeah. Now just got to set up my emails.
ok, GPRS setup / working now.
Just did this manually as per Hampers' post above but had to change the access point name to pp.vodafone.co.uk (case sensitive) for the connection to work as am using a Pay As You Talk sim
G
Okay, I updated my firmware on my PSV-M3100 to the one here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=281146
And all works fine in terms of day to day usage of the PDA, but when trying to access WAP or the internet via 3G or GPRS I'm getting errors saying the connection needs editing.
Would someone running the default UK Orange firmware be kind enough to post the connection settings that come with the SPV-M3100 as standard.
I even called Orange to help but "the guy who knows the SPV-M3100 has gone home for the day" not that it is a M3100 issue, just any old Orange 3G settings I imagine?
Anyway, any help on this would be appreciated.
I have tried searching here and the net for what should be in the connections area but very little info is out there
maybe this can help:

Thanks, but I was looking for something a bit more thorough...
Settings for Orange World, Orange Internet, Orange MMS
And then the connection settings for GPRS/3G under these
Plus proxies etc.
Still, I am meant to have Orange calling me back today to help me out here, so whatever they tell me I'll document here for the Wiki.
Cheers
ok, i don't know if there's any cab available with all the settings, but a quick search on the networking forum poped up this which also contains MMS settings:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=224183
Thanks for those...
Orange are baffled and now my phone number is not recognised by Orange World at all, and I can't see any website sites...
I'll give them 24 hours more to fix or I cancel my contract (it'll be my 3rd SPV M3100 in 10 days - must be a record).
...at least I can get a 3G connection without it bombing out, even though I can't do anything with it.
Sweet! Those settings worked perfectly on my Orange UK M3100, just as they have on all my other devices. Shame there isnt a cab that can do the same!
Cheers,
Fin
Are these of any help?

Hi There,
Just to let you know, you can get the settings straight from the Orange UK website. Just create a free account based on your billing and phone number, and there will be a section for them to either SMS you the settings to your M3100 or for you to stick them in yourself.
I recently put on WM6 onto my M3100, and just put the orange wap setting. Even though there are originally about 3 or 4 different gprs settings on the M3100, the only one that really ever is used is the orangewap access point settings. The orangeinternet access point settings are never touched when the M3100 3G access is taking place.
FYI from the orange site under 3G Setup for M3100:
Setting up the data account
1. On the PDA, tap on Start and then Settings.
2. Tap on the Connections tab.
3. Tap on the Connections icon.
4. Tap on the Advanced tab.
5. Tap on Select Networks.
6. Under the first drop down box, tap on New…
7. In the Enter a name for these settings: field, enter Orange GPRS WAP
8. Tap on the Modem tab.
9. Tap on New…
10. In the Enter a name for the connection: field, enter Orange GPRS WAP
11. Tap on the Select a modem drop-down list and select Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G).
12. Tap on Next.
13. In the Access point name: field, enter orangewap
14. Tap on Next.
15. Tap on Finish.
16. Tap on the Proxy Settings tab.
17. Select the This network connects to the Internet option.
18. Select the This network uses a proxy sever to connect to the Internet option.
19. Tap on Advanced… Tap on WAP.
20. In the Server field, enter 192.168.071.035
21. In the Port field, enter 8080
22. Tap on ok five times
23. Tap on x to close the Settings screen.
24. Tap on Start, Programs and then Internet Explorer.
25. Tap on Menu.
26. Tap on Favorites...
27. Tap on the Add / Delete tab.
28. Tap on Add...
29. In the Name field, enter Orange GPRS WAP
30. In the Address field, enter http://wap.orange.co.uk
31. Tap on Add.
32. Tap on ok.
33. Tap on x.
The new WAP profile is now configured and ready for use.
I did everything apart from Step 21, whereby when I wrote my settings down, the port number remained at 9201, NOT 8080 as written in step 21.
Give this a go, and see if it works for you.
Good Luck!
if you're on contract, the accesspoint is orangeinternet no password, nothing.
for MMS settings; google for them, a site called filesaveas.com has them

Wanna bet!
I have created a cab file that will install Orange UK internet, WAP and MMS settings to make things a little easier!
Hi,
I have upgraded to 20070320_RUU_Hermes_WWE_3.23.0.0_1.34.00.10 on my M3100 which works great except for the 3G connection. To configure the device I used the 'Orange Internet MMS Settings.cab'.
Once the Direct push is configured for my exchange server, the device downloads emails. The device then drops the 3G/GPRS connection and the activesync screen shows error with No connection for data.
Looking into the xml files saved from the original Orange ROM shows extra settings that do not appear in the 'Orange Internet MMS Settings.cab' file.
Has anyone else seen this issue or have more info on Orange 3G settings?
Many Thanks
Crammy
I've flashed my phone with this WM6 ROM as well. Has your SPV M3100 stopped receiving/sending MMS's ?? I've checked and re-checked my phones MMS settings a dozen times and also had orange send them to my phone cia SMS but no joy. I wonder if it is just me or a common problem with the new WM6 ROM's and the M3100?
Mine works fine.
As long as you set up the MMS data connection AND the mms server correctly, yours will as well.
There are hundreds of threads here and elsewhere with the correct way - but the key is to set up an ORANGEMMS connection in the "private" connection settings (with user Orange, password Multimedia and APN as orangemms, then set up Orange MMS server in MMS settings with Gateway IP (proxy) address: 192.168.224.10 , Port: 9201, MMS Message (Relay) Server URL http://mms.orange.co.uk/

Looks like we are having a double conversation here!! Anyway. I have deleted my original MMS settings as these were set up in the "internet" connection, not the "private" connection as you advise. I have used exactly the setting you show above but when I try to send an MMS I can't and I just get the timer symbol showing they cannot currently be sent. I'm really at a dead end hear unless you have any other ideas?? I really appreciate you taking the time out to help though.

I'm in the same boat. Got my GPRS working (thanks very much to the chap that uploaded the cab file).
Just need the 3G settings and I'm set.
Any help appreciated

Thanks for that, it set up internet ok (although I had to manually change the DNS servers!) but MMS doesn't work without tweaking. Anyone else had similar probs?
Thanks again,

Yes, there was a slight problem with the cab file which caused problems for some so I have updated it. This is for Orange UK contract customers and installs MMS settings and Internet settings

The browser is probably not returning the correct user-agent string. Unfortunatly the operators decided to use autodetection via this string. Its a right pain because i cant access the o2 pda site either, i get the crappy wap text version
I believe the gurus are investigating it. What ROM are you currently running?
