it's nearly to do with Vodafone GPRS/MMS....

Hi all, sorry to bother you with this one!
I got my O2 XDAII unlocked and used it with no drama at all with my Vodafone SIM. I then put the GPRS settings in and it worked fine with MSN Messenger and IE etc. I then put the MMS settings in and started sending and receiving picture messages perfectly. :lol:
The problem, i hear you ask....
Well, I got TomTom 3 and a program called POI Warner which is used to alert me of POI's (read, speed cameras :wink: ) and it wanted to connect to the Internet to update it's database. It always used to try once i'd dropped the XDA in the cradle. As something wasn't right somewhere, it used to lock up the XDA until it gave up trying and then it would release the XDA so that i could use it again. This all seemed to be because of the Activesync passthrough settings. :?
I set them as I should have (after reading on here what to do - thanks!) and then it worked fine. Still with me...??????
It seems that i can't send picture message anymore :shock:
I have all the settings from the other posts on here but somehow, my settings in the connections screen have gone loopy.
Can someone on Vodafone PLEASE PLEASE let me know what settings they have in the connections screen, be it two sets (My Work Settings and another) or (Vodafone GPRS and Vodafone MMS - as i used to have). And when you click the advanced tab at the bottom of the connection screens, which programs do you have for 'Programs that connect to the internet should use' and programs that connect to a private network should use'???
when you edit either of these, it comes up with ANOTHER connection screen - what you have got in there??
This is on top of the Server mentioned in the MMS composer screen that needs another mention of the same server in there!!!
If I can get this working with someone's help , I hereby promise to take a screenshot of every screen I have and put an idiots guide to getting this working up on the Web should I need it again!!
thanks in advance Guys!!

Firstly to clean things up a bit it'd look in the registry under [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ConnMgr\Destinations] and remove all but:
'The Internet'
'Work'
'My Work Network' - or whatever it was renamed to
'My ISP' - or whatever it was renamed to
Then resetup all the connections.....
Here are the settings I have, which work perfectly.
Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using:
Vodafone Internet (My ISP renamed)
Programs that automatically connect to a private network should connect using:
Vodafone Live! (My Work Network renamed)

Hi again.
I asked the seller if it was the HTTP port 8080 settings, and he said yes.

It's a scam - they closed that loophole months ago.

You lie like a cheap watch.
I just tested it.

Hi I'm new to the forum,
I have used free gprs courtesy of o2 pay as you go with a pocket pc and mobile phone in the past, I never used it much (its so slow) but often wondered if I was getting free access that was unlimited or just xMB of free access? has anyone used free o2 gprs for more than a few pages?
I've just got an MDA compact, I've flashed to get rid of the stupid extended rom T-Mobile put on the device and now I'm using my o2 pay as you go sim, I'm getting free access so far (not debiting my credit), I'll report back if it stays free for more than just a few KB if anyone is interested?
Thanks for the great forum!
Rob

Yes Rob cruisin-thru has been using the free access for a "quote" long time with an o2 sim that has NEVER had credit.

HTTP 8080....?
Err...anyone care to enlighten me ( us ) as to this, please? :?

Smithy318i, care to share the settings with us? :wink:

APN: payandgo.o2.co.uk
username: payandgo
password: password
wap field setting in proxy server 193.113.200.195 @ 9201 port

but if i try to open any other site like yahoo, hotmail, google the speed for GPRS drop to 1KB/Sec. and page can't be dispaled message comes up.
I have PAYG O2 SIM card.
i spoke to o2 Customer services to enable my "Enable Web" services but they told me that they can't do it because i am using PAYG .
IS there any other way to get around this problem i mean without going on contarct with O2. and using the same PAYG SIM.

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.
I've managed to get WAP over GPRS working now - these intructions from O2 are what I followed - except that I first deleted teh existing connection (Right-tap on it and select delete):
XDA II GPRS WAP manual settings Pre-pay
It is not possible to select the 'Prepaid' option within 'My XDA' Connections in the O2 Active UI on the XDA II - 'Postpaid' is selected as default and cannot be changed.
To use the XDA II with an O2 Prepay SIM then the WAP settings will need to be changed manually - note that it will not be necessary to carry out a hard (full) reset in order to complete this.
IMPORTANT - once the WAP settings have been changed, if a hard reset is carried out at some future point, then the settings will automatically be re-configured back to Postpaid and they will need to be manually changed again..
XDA II Manual Setup - GPRS WAP (Prepay)
Tap Start > Settings
Tap 'Connections' tab
Tap 'Connections' icon
Under 'My Work Network' tap 'Manage existing connections'
Tap 'Edit'
The 'Select a modem:' drop-down box should be set to 'Cellular Line (GPRS)'
Tap 'Next'
Access Point Name: payandgo.o2.co.uk
Tap 'Next'
Usernameayandgo
Password: password
Domain: leave blank
Tap 'Advanced'
On the 'TCP/IP' tab, only 'Use server-assigned IP address' should be selected
Tap the 'Servers' tab
Only 'Use server-assigned addresses' should be selected
Tap 'OK'
Tap 'Finish'
Tap 'Proxy Settings' tab (*Note, the soft keyboard may be hiding this tab - tap the keyboard icon at bottom right to clear this away)
Ensure that 'This network connects to the Internet' box is ticked
Ensure that 'This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet' box is ticked
Tap 'Advanced'
In the 'WAP' field (Server) enter: 193.113.200.195
In the field to the right of this (Port) enter: 9201
Tap 'OK' and exit
Once you have installed the settings into your handset and saved them, please switch off your handset and switch it back on. This will activate the settings for you.

Free GPRS work anyway to get Messenger to use this?
Ok, this works a treat! thanks smithy! It would be great if there was a way I could utilise this with MSN Messenger too. Any ideas? :?

I have never got it to work with messenger, also streaming audio from the net dont want to work either through port 8080.

Back in days of using proxy I remember when we had to put the SOCKS proxy settings MSN only worked after putting in SOCKS settings in MSN options as well.
On PC MSN have Tools > Options > Connection settings
I can not find it on my XDA, there must be a REG setting for this.

XDA 2 in need of GPRS & WAP & MMS settings for VodaF

Hi guys,
I'm giving my sister my old XDA 2 for Christmas (finally have the very slow XDA exec!) I've unlocked it and have a Vodafone PAYG sim card installed - running fine. I just need the connection settings so I can enable it to go online and send Media messages. Any one have a clue? It would mean so much to me - and I'll make a donation to the site if any tips work on my old phone.
cheers
Will

Voda settings
To set up Internet access on the device:
1. Click on START.
2. Click on Settings.
3. Click on Connections at bottom of screen.
4. Click on Connections icon at top right of screen.
5. Under ISP click on Add a new modem connection.
6. Enter a name for the connection (e.g. Internet).
7. Under Select a modem, choose Cellular line (GPRS).
8. Click Next.
9. Under Access point name type internet (note: this is case sensitive).
10. Click Next.
11. Under User name type web (note: this is case sensitive).
12. Under Password type web (note: this is case sensitive).
13. Click Finish.
14. The QTEK is now configured to use Vodafone GPRS.
Double check that the device is using this modem connection as its default connection by going into ‘Manage existing connections’ (Start, Settings, Connections, Connections), and ensuring that the black bullet point is next to the account that you have just created.
Setting up MMS:
Go to the messages section (Start, Messaging) and browse to the MMS inbox (using the drop down box labelled inbox in the left hand corner of the screen).
Select Menu (bottom right of screen) and select MMS Configuration.
The device should already have an account present and on the first screen the tick boxes that are checked are for your own personal choice (the ones on this device have ‘retrieve messages immediately’, ‘download on home network only’, and ‘save sent messages’ ticked.
On the Servers tab you should have a ‘Contract MMS’ account already created. If this is the case you’ll need to select the account and choose ‘Set as Default’.
If you do not have this account already created you should choose ‘New’ and enter the following details:
Server name: Vodafone MMSC
Gateway: 212.183.137.12
Port Number: 9201
Server Address: http://mms.vodafone.co.uk/servlets/mms
Connect via: The WAP Network
Sending Size limitation: 100k (recommended – but you may change this if you wish)
WAP Version: WAP 1.2
By the way.....
If the GPRS fails to connect first time you may need to click the antenna icon near the signal reception and 'turn on flight mode'. This will disable the phone recption. Then click again and 'turn off flight mode' to reactivate the phone reception. It should then connect ok (by going into Internet Explorer and trying to get to a web page of your choice).

Hi
This are the setting that you need:
Make or edit a connection under My isp
APN: internet
Password: web
Username: web
Make or edit a connection under My Work Network this is needed for MMS
APN: wap.vodafone.co.uk
Username: [email protected]
Password: user
Go to your messanger and configure the MMS Configuration under server make or edit the server:
Gateway: 212.183.137.12
Port Number: 9201
Server Address: http://mms.vodafone.co.uk/servlets/mms
That is all you need good luck and merry christmas.
Ciao

thanks!!
Thanks guys, worked a treat. I've donated 10 euros to the site.

MMS Vodafone UK with WM5

Help! - Has anyone else transferred their O2 xda Exec to Vodafone, or does anyone have a V1640 that they can check the settings for MMS with me?
I've changed over to voda, have loads of apps installed. Vodafone's business help line seem blissfully unaware of the extra settings inside the Messaging App on WM5 for MMS config.
Normal internet connectivity is ok, but at the moment I can't seem to download any new MMS messages. They arrive in the inbox and the size shows up, but I just can't download.
For the Connection details - Stangely, using the dedicated IP that the support team provided for the IP address of 212.183.137.012 doesnt work, when its on IP address is provided, it does try and access messages, but just can't download them.
Its got to a stage now, where they seem unwilling to help because its "not a handset they provide" despite me explaining that its the same mobile OS as dozens of other handsets and the settings will be exactly the same as on any WM5 based device.
The settings they can't seem to help with are those inside the messaging app on the menu "MMS Configuration" (see below)
----------------------------
Messaging > MMS > Menu >MMS Configuration
Preferences Tab:
Retrieve messages immediately (ticked)
Download on home network only (unticked)
Save sent messages (ticked)
Reject all messages (unticked)
Allow delivery report (unticked)
Allow read report (unticked)

Can anyone help, its been several days now and its really annoying me!

Annoying, but here's how
Hi Derek,
I just got this working again after having the same problem as you. Here is my setup (based on WM6 on an O2 XDA Exec running on Vodafone) - and the trick you need to know is at the end:
Settings -> Connections, I created a new modem connection called "Vodafone MMS & Data" of type "Cellular line (GPRS, 3G)". Under this setting, I have created two connections, one called "3g data" and one called "3g Wap Connection".
"3g data" is set up with access point "internet", username "internet", and password (I think) also "internet"
"3g Wap connection" is set up with access point "wap.vodafone.co.uk", username "wap" and password "wap".
OK, so you have a connection with two options set up as a result of this. For 99% of your day-to-day browsing, you just leave the connection set to use "3g data" by default, but when you get the notification of an MMS message, disconnect any existing online session and then go in and select the "3g Wap connection" option, then tap-and-hold and select Connect. Once you're online with the Wap connection you can then go and download your MMS message.
Hope this helps,
Darren

Here's what to do
In Settings/Connections/Connections you should have one connection set up under My ISP for internet access:
Name: VF Web (or whatever)
Select a modem: Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)
Access point name: internet
user name: web
password: web
You should also have one connection set up under My Work Network:
Name: VF MMS (or whatever)
Select a modem: Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)
Access point name: wap.vodafone.co.uk
user name: wap
password: wap
Finally set up your MMS configuration to Connect via: My Work Network
That's how to link internet and MMS to the two separate connections.

I did indeed notice the date of the thread. However the advice given here was not the best solution. I was trying to set up MMS on my O2 Exec on a Vodafone sim for the first time a few days ago, and couldn't find a complete and proper solution anywhere. Thankfully I managed to work it out and posted it here in case it helps others. The Universal and WM5 are both still alive and kicking.

Thats ok mate, just joking
Thanks for your comment

3UK MMS Settings?

Hi
I've recently unlocked my vario 2 and having put my 3 usim in all is well..or almost! The only thing I'm struggling with is I cannot send or receive mms's. I've done some searches and can see others have had problems, and resolved them, but I'm struggling to work out where the changes have to go!
I've cut and paste a solution I've found which looks like it should do the trick, and have highlighted the stage where I'm having trouble...
First Created New Connection called 3 (Set this as default connection for internet etc.) I just use this one connection, all my email accounts, Laptop wireless modem etc. can connect through this.
Modem - Cellular Line (GPRS , 3G)
APN - three.co.uk
Username - leave blank
password - leave blank
Domain - leave blank
No need to do advanced settings. Click finish.
IN MESSAGING.....Menu > Tools > Options Click *MMS
Select servers tab.....Create new server called 3 MMS
Gateway - mms.three.co.uk
Port - 8799
Server address - http://mms.um.three.co.uk:10021/mmsc
connect via - My ISP
Size Limit - 200K
Wap version - 2.0
When I go to Messaging>Tools>Options>Click *MMS...(my phone shows *SMS/MMS rather than just *MMS?)I dont have the servers tab to select? All I have is 2 check boxes, 'request delivery notifications' and 'Use unicode where necessary'
Can anybody help with how I get to these settings?
Thanks in advance!
