XDA1/Vodafone/GPRS connection settings/Help! - Networking

Hi
I am sure this has been asked a 1000 times! I have an unlocked XDA1 on Vodafone. I want to access the Internet/e-mail. Vodafone have not been helpful, wanting me to sign up for a more expensive package! Is it possible to set the XDA up myself. If anyone can help please can I have the instructions in a step y step mode!!
Many Thanks

The Answer !
Hi Mate,
I am also on vodafone with xda 1. GPRS is easy to set up. Make sure you have GPRS enabled on your vodafone account first. The average cost for using GPRS is £2.35 / MB
1. Start - Settings, Connectio Tab at bottom.
2. Tap connections
3. Tap modify
4. Tap new.
5. Enter a name for the coneection - mine is Voda GPRS
6. Select Cellular Line ( GPRS ) as your modem
7. 19200 as baud rate.
8. Tap next.
9. Access point is - internet ( as I have typed it )
10. Try connect - You will be prompted for userame and password.
11. username = web
12. password = web
13. Put a tick in save password.
All done. That should do the trick
Cheers

Wifi and gprs settings

hello, just got a sim free e-ten m700
cant seem to get the vodafone live gprs settings and also wi fi to work. tried using the settings i found for vodafone network but doesnt work. says connected as does the wi fi but doesnt load. gprs says lost data connection and nothing happens
im new to windows mobile phones so maybe im missing the obvious
got 2 pages to load with wifi but since ive had no luck
wifi is not pass protected. is my own network and laptop is using wireless right now no problem so it must be a phone setting
any ideas? thanks
Hi Milli,
As the phone isn't a Vodafone handset I can't guarantee that the Vodafone Live service or any other internet service will work, but you can try with these settings and hopefully will have some luck!

Sorry, I hadn't realised you're a Vodafone Ireland customer. The settings for this will be different, and I can't find anywhere online what the server addresses and things are unforunately.

Vodafone settings for my SPV M600

Hi,
Could someone please help me....I've just left Orange and moved to Vodafone and my SPV M600 does not want to play! I'd really appreciate it if someone could provide me with information (or point to where I can find it) so that the GPRS, MMS, SMS, voicemail, etc, etc could be made to work on this phone.
Many thanks
Hi freefingers,
We at Vodafone don't stock that particular sort of handset, so as such we can't guarantee that all of the services will work.
For SMS you'll need to change the Message Centre Number to Vodafone's which is +447785016005.
Voicemail should already be accessible by calling 121 from the phone.
To get MMS and GPRS working, you'll need to add Vodafone's settings to the handset which I've pasted below. Again, I can't guarantee this will work as it's not a Vodafone phone, but fingers crossed it will!
Have a nice day,

Thanks again

Vodafone UK data settings – STRANGE setup behaviour (HTC p3600)

I recently did a Hard Reset on my HTC p3600 (WM5). I have been unable to re-establish my data connection (internet/email/wap/mms) with Vodafone UK (monthly contract). I could not remember how I set up the phone originally when I bought it from Expansys UK in April 07. I phoned Vodafone for the settings but the trained monkey was predictably useless. I checked threads on this site to no avail (Even downloaded an empty zip folder that had promised a CAB file with all necessary settings http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285360)
I found a list of settings here (see link) to enable internet/wap/mms/email: http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/ppc-faq/6251-q-what-uk-roi-gprs-settings-web-wap-mms.html. Still I am unable to connect.
I did notice some STRANGE SET BEHAVIOUR. As instructed I set up connections for Vodafone Wap and Vodafone Internet. According to the above site the Vodafone ‘username’ & ‘passwords’ for both of these connections are ‘web’ & ‘web‘. I entered these and saved the connections. Later, having no success connecting, I went back to check the settings I had entered. For both connections the username ‘web’ remained the same, but the password had changed to something with about 13 characters. I can change it back to ‘web’ but once I save the settings it seems to revert to this longer unknown password (it shows as a row of asterixes). Any suggestions on what to do next are very welcome.
I believe your password is hashed to some kind of key (possibly 13 characters). This is stored instead of the three characters 'web', providing better security, since a malicious counterparty can neither `read' your password from a file, nor narrow his brute force search by examining the length of the password string.
I have a Vodafone UK contract (also bought from expansys) and used the following cab file from this thread back in my WM5 days:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310876
Why not upgrade to a WM6 rom? That has all the 'customization' settings built in so you never have to worry about how to restore these things...
Hi midgeslayer,
To make sure you do have the correct settings for internet, e-mail, WAP and MMS, here are the settings for Windows mobile 5 devices. It could be that the settings you've followed are not quite correct which is affecting the connection. Try these ones and see how you get on:-

GPRS & MMS settings for Vodafone NZ

Hi New Zealanders or travellers to NZ.
Below are the instructions for setting up your GPRS and MMS settings in WM6.1 for the Vodafone network in New Zealand. Getting these settings to work on my HTC Wizard has been a big mission and has basically come down to trial and error. Using these settings, you will have a GPRS connection when you are out of WiFi range, and you will be able to send and recieve MMS/PXT without problem.
The manual step by step instructions on the Vodafone NZ website for the i-Mate K-JAM didn't work, and their mobile portal where the settings can be SMS'd to your phone didn't come through to mine (despite SMS working perfectly well when sending and receiving from others). Also, no other resource was any help either (even going in to the Vodafone store resulted in shruggs from the staff who basically said "you bought it overseas, we don't support that phone, we can't help you" - dicks).
So, I've assumed I'm not the only other one out there having a nightmare with VFNZ settings and have decided to give something back to the site that has helped me so much (thanks xda-developers!).
Assuming you don't have any settings existing in your phone (maybe a hard-reset is a good idea to clear everything first), these settings should work like a charm.
Setting up GPRS (Internet access)
1. On the handset, tap on the Start button.
2. Tap on Settings.
3. Tap on Connections tab.
4. Tap on the Connections Icon.
5. Tap on Add a new modem connection under My ISP.
6. Enter VFNZ Internet in the Enter a name for the connection field.
7. Select Cellular Line (GPRS) in the drop down list of Select a modem.
8. Tap Next.
9. Enter www.vodafone.net.nz in the Access point name field.
10. Tap Next.
11. Leave the User name field blank.
12. Leave the Password & Domain fields blank.
13. Tap Advanced.
14. Select Use server-assigned IP address.
15. Tap OK.
16. Tap Finish.
Setting up MMS/PXT
1. On the handset, tap on the Start button.
2. Tap on Settings.
3. Tap on Connections tab.
4. Tap on the Connections icon.
5. Under My Work Network, tap on Add a new modem connection.
6. Enter Vodafone MMS in the Enter a name for the connection field.
7. Select Cellular Line (GPRS) in the drop down list of Select a modem.
8. Tap Next.
9. Enter live.vodafone.com in the Access point name field. Tap Next.
10. Enter 'voda' in the User name field.
11. Enter 'fone' in the Password field and leave the Domain field blank.
12. Tap Advanced.
13. Select Use server-assigned IP address. Tap OK.
14. Tap Finish.
15. Tap on the Proxy Settings tab. Make sure the two boxes are unticked.
16. Tap OK 3 times to get back to the today screen.
17. Push the on the handset Messaging button.
18. Tap on Menu which is located at the bottom right corner.
19. Tap on Options.
20. Tap on MMS to bring up the MMS Configuration.
21. Tap on the Servers tab.
22. Tap on the New button.
23. Enter VFNZ MMS in the Server name field.
24. Enter 172.30.38.3 in the Gateway field.
25. Enter 9201 Port number field.
26. Enter http://pxt.vodafone.net.nz/pxtsend in the Server Address field.
27. Select My Work Network in the Connect via drop down selection.
28. Select WAP 1.2 in the WAP Version drop down selection.
29. Tap on OK.
30. Select VFNZ MMS in the MMS Configuration list.
31. Tap on Set As Default.
32. Tap OK 3 times to get back to the Today screen.
And there you have it. I believe you need to actually send an MMS message to someone before you are able to start receiving them, so make sure you do that after configuring the phone. Good luck!
You are my hero. Ive been trying for 2 months since I got one of these phones to get the settings working. Even the guy at the local Vodafone shop had NO clue what he was doing.
Awesome stuff
My pleasure, glad to help someone out

Hi micool_nz
I am using samsung Omnia mobile in NZ bought from singapore. It has got windows mobile 6.1 OS. I have been trying to set up the MMS configuration in my mobile but failed. Even now, I followed your suggestions and didnt get it to work for some reason. It keeps on saying me could not send MMS msg. Kindly help. I have options for WAP 1.0 ,WAP 2.0 or none as options and not WAP 1.2 in my mobile. Also, in step 22. I cant find server tab, instead I have sending, receiving, profile, compose and about tabs. In profile tab, I have 2 options - set profile as default or edit profile. When I go add new profile and followed your suggestions as below
MMS Profile - VFNZ MMS
MMSC - http://pxt.vodafone.net.nz/pxtsend
Data Connections - Among the options vodafone MMS and Vodafone, I selected vodafone as that is my network name. But tried with both and didnt work.
Gateway - WAP 1.0 or WAP 2.0 tried both but didnt work
IP Address - 172.30.38.3
Port - 9201
Despite of following all the above settings, my MMS is not working.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Samsung Omnia
Hi vbrsekhar
Did you get your internet sorted? I have been struggling for more than a month to get connected to the internet with my Omnia.
I have tried the GPRS settings as described here, but it is still not connecting.
I get this error message. "Dialed: www .vodafone. net. nz Cannot connect for unknown reason. To check your connection settings...".
Vodafone nz can't help. Samsung omnia is not supported by them. I have tried another network with different setting of course, and it works fine.

Hi Guys,
Try the settings in this CAB file, it automatically updates all NZ Vodafone settings.
The only thing I have currently found is an odd MMS problem with WM 6.5 not automatically being set up through this cab however you should be able to add it sucessfully the manual way as described above.
And don't bother with asking the Vodafone storeclerks they're hired just to sell phones, i've run into problems trying to get data plans loaded (they didn't even know what the phone was )
No Start\Settings\Connections
Hi guys
Thanks for the CAB file enclave.
I got a HTC HD2 in Australia locked to Telstra, I want to use it on Vodafone here in NZ. I have made some reg edits to get rid of some Telstra stuff, and have installed this cab file above which unlocked a few things, but still can not get the "Start\Settings\Connections" dialogue to come up.
Anybody know where in the registry I can turn this menu item back on?
I hit START, I hit the cog shaped SETTINGS icon, I get a Blue Settings menu, which has WIRELESS CONTROLS and DATA SERVICES but nothing about CONNECTIONS.
I want to set up VODAFONE MMS in the My Work Network but can't find it!

Try automatic configuration on the HD2

Hi Matt,
I too now have an HTC HD2 (International Version) and I found there is an easy way for the settings to be configured automatically from the Vodafone network. This should work for you too, unless the Telstra version of the HD2 has some network locks.
On the Blue settings menu you described where you saw Wireless Controls and Data Services, down the bottom right there should be a Menu option. Tap on that and select All Settings. From there, tap on Connections, then tap on Connection Setup.
All going well you should have two drop down lists. One with the Country (change it to New Zealand if it isn't already selected) and the second one with Operator (select Vodafone NZ if it isn't already selected). Tap on the OK option on the bottom left and the correct settings (including MMS/PXT settings) will be automatically downloaded to your phone from the VF network.
It worked a treat for me on my HD2. See how you go
Regards,
Mike
Hi Mike,
Thanks for that.
There is a MENU button and it does have a CONNECTIONS tab on it but it doesn't take me to a CONNECTION SETUP, just to the
Add a new modem connection
Add a new VPN server connection
Set up my proxy server
Manage existing connections​
menu, I might try adding the vodafone MMS settings you suggeste in your initial post here and see how it flies....
...oops, we reached our limit.
Fingers too fat to type on the thing, too many hours spent in set up, it is going back to the shop.
Bye everybody, thanks for help, peace and love.

You are actually my personal jesus, thank you so much for these settings.

MMS issues with unlocked HD2

Hello all, I am requesting help with an issue that I am having with my HD2.
Ive had the phone for a little over a month now, and it is a great device. I bought the phone unlocked, and it was working just fine. But recently the pass code (the 4 digit pin to use the phone) to unlock the phone stopped working, because of this i had to do a hard reset on the phone. This set everything back to factory settings.
After some work I got most of everything back to normal, my only issue that i am having is Sending MMS messages. I have the server set up correctly as well as the data connections to the internet but for some reason it still wont let me send MMS messages.
I searched all over the board but nothing i found could help me so far.
If anyone has any advice or know how on how to fix this problem it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Ive searched the entire board thoruoughly, and unfortunatly most of them only talk about fixing the MMS server (which isnt my problem), unless i overlooked something
@Shum97 i appreciate that, but thats the set up for Virgin Mobile phones, not ATT
No other help? Anyone?
i dont know about at+t but on o2 uk i have to have two data connections set up. One is the proper mobile data "mobile web", the other is wap, "o2 active", and this is the one used for mms.
If i set the mms settings to use the regular data account it fails.
Thing is, when you go to settings all settings connection connection and press 'manage existing connections' you only see the mobile web account available to edit.
What you need to do to see the other is go to advanced tab, and 'select networks'.
In the top dropdown, mine says mobile web, but if i change that and choose o2 active instead, click OK, and now go back to the tasks tab, the top half now lets me click 'manage existing accounts' to edit the o2 active account instead of the mobile web account.
(dont forget to change it back, else progs that auto connect to the net will try to use the wap account. In my case it still works, but is slow, and i think costs.)
So, , , not sure if it is any help to you, but when i set up manually, (and i have done three or four times) i ...
1 - set up the o2 active wap account
2 - set up the mobile data account
3 - set up the mms server settings, making sure to choose o2 active and not mobile web as the connection.
THanks alot, ill be sure to give this a try, Does anyone think Flashing my device might help with my problem?

only if the 'connection setup' has details of the at+t network in it. connection setup for the euro leo can be found as a cab, im sure the tmo one can be too, but i suspect neither will have att network settings in it.
Id guess it's manual all the way, sorry.
ah i see, ill play around with it and see what i can do then
