Right - I've just spent half the day trying to configure my Unlocked XDA2 for the Orange network.
Making and taking calls - fine.
Sending and receiving texts - fine.
SMS, MMS, WAP, The Internet, Pass-thru activesync etc - you ARE joking aren't you!
I've follwed various Smartphone based help posts, but alas they are little use, as the Pocket PC is a very different beast, and even knowing the settings doesn't help, if you don't know where to put them etc (the XDA is totally different for setting up compared to a Smartphone).
So PLEASE - can someone, in plain english, simple step by step settings, help me get my XDA to fully work for all things, on the Orange Network please..?
Also, is there any easy way to get rid of the O2 Custimisation, and just have a standard Pocket PC theme?
o2 stuff if you mean on the today screen can be changed under settings and today screen there you can disable stuff you dont want there
if you mean in programs then you just delete programs you dont want in uninstall or in \windows\star menu\
about orange settings then i recommend you ask orange
since they sell the xda2 under the name SPV M1000
and since no operator have all that special ways of handling all that stuff
all you need is the info of what orange use
sms is a number in the settings which need to be set
most cellphone companys i know off auto adjust this though not sure about orange
MMS, WAP, The Internet(gprs)
you setup under settings\connections\connections and add the interfaces and enter the access points orange use
Pass-thru activesync
is something you activate on the pc in activesyncs options
I rang Orange, who put me through to Fax and Data, who in turn put me through to the ever so helpful Mandy in Level 3 Support, who rang me back on my home number, and spent the next twenty minutes helping me set it up.
It helped immensely however, that I had already fiddled on and created some of the stuff needed.
So far, I have yet to figure out how to get it to use my ActiveSync pass thru however, as it insists on making a GPRS connection, when in the cradle.
I have also not got it to Sync via Bluetooth yet.
And two curious things.
Despite my numbers being in a format +44 7736 111 111 (made that up), when I go to send an SMS, and use the contacts function to locate the number, it instead inserts it into the To Field, with the preceding + dropped off, and thus it wont send.
Lastly, despite being a new XDA2, its a US ROM version, and only radio version 1.05 - handy, in that it meant I could unlock it straight away, but curious, as a European market, that I receive a USA ROM - maybe its to do with the UK shortage.
But does anyone know how I set it up for a Pass-thru, and also how, or why, it drops the prefix + symbol from sending SMS, and thus causes it to fail unless I manually insert a +
Cheers.
about the +44 thing then make sure you have chosen the right country in settings that solve such issues most of the time
about pass though then now we are talking home and internet
it got some setting where you can choose if you are connected to home as in bluetooth usb or wifi or the internet if it think it's on the inetnet it will always use the grps

Hi all, I hope someone can help with this,
I have tried to all O2 using 100 (but this keeps getting disconnected automatically) so I have to call as 0845 number which uses my minutes + I was waiting 30 minutes to speak to someone and when i eventually did get through they hung up (I am well Pi***d off with o2). Anyhow
I want to connect to the net using GPRS, however no GPRS symbol is displayed and if i try, i get a message saying "No moden at above number" any help would be great.
Cheers
Matt
Right, couple of things to suggest.
Firstly (and I know this sounds stupid)....O2 have recently installed new call centre handling "things" which SHOULD route your call more efficiently but as they have been put in by IBM (also, responsible for more recent "good inovations" in O2) the bits aren't working v well! - trust me as I speak from experience and "from the horses mouth" - I work for them!
So chill when you do get through....the staff on the phones are getting major grief from customers, dealers and fellow staff members (mainly store staff) because it's taking ages......It's not their fault!!
Anyway, back to your problem.....you haven'y said whether you got a new connection or an upgrade.....if it's the latter did you ahve GPRS on your previous phone and did it work?
If it's a new connection then GPRS hasn't been provisioned for some reason (although it can tkae 48 hrs max from connection to go through), same goes if it was an upgrade and you never used GPRS on the old phone.
Give me the answeres to these questions and I'll give you my best guess!
Mike
Check settings
I use this site for settings:
http://www.filesaveas.com/index.html
I would also suggest that you check that GPRS has actually been enabled by O2 for you. I had problems with MMS not being enabled although I HAD asked for it.
Thanks Mike for your responce, and I promise not to go ape at your colleagues.
I have a new account with O2, connected today, however seems strange that it could take upto 48hrs to get GPRS active, I was recently with ORANGE and as soon as I activated the phone (a SPV) the GPRS was active there and then. Ah well I will wait the 48hrs and hopefully it will come active sometime soon.
As an O2 employee, you may be able to assist on this query. As a paymonthly customer on O2 400, I am supposted to call 100 from my XDAII to call CS, but when I do this I get disconnected automatically as if the number is dead, any ideas?
Many thanks for your help.

An update on the aboe. I have managed to sort this problem out, I did a soft reset and when rebooted I noticed the phone settings were on Germany, changed it to UK and GPRS works fine.
Matt
for anyone searching with this problem
MODEM NOT FOUND AT DIALED NUMBER
1. phone CS on 0845 and make sure GPRS is on! (APN provisioning for mobile web access (you can 'check' on the 100 number, but they can't turn it on for you)
2. 3.30pm is the 'switch over' time, so soft reboot after this time each day (
up to 24hrs) ...... phone again if still not on !
3. GERMANY is default if you go to MY XDA - connections. it will always be on Germany. but the wizzard should of set it to UK when you first set it
Do you have the correct settings for wap over gprs, email over gprs using O2 payg sim with free gprs pages and wap.
Is there any portal to get the settigs to the O2 phone directly?
I have an unlocked Cingular 8125 that I am using on TMobile. I can't seem to figure out how to get my Data plan working on it. Can anyone explain what settings I need to change, i.e GPRS and MMS. Thanks.
For GPRS/EDGE setting in T-MO USA do the following:
Press start then go to settings then connections and then connections.
Then add new modem connection
Under select a modem pick cellular line. then click next.
Under phone number insert internet2.voicestream.com
no no no......internet2 will only cause problems later on.....here just do the following....
Hard Reset your device after which before it starts installing all of the cingular customization quickly soft reset (This is where it sayd installing applications in 3...2...1..)
After you soft reset just install the files in the order I have them listed saving the registry cab for the end. Once you have done all this press and hold the power button until it says "data loss can occur...blah blah balh" hit OK and the unit will switch off. When it switches off count 3 and just press the power buton one time to turn the unit back on.
You should be in the clear now.

What do you mean internet2 will cause problems later on? I used to use internet3 here in New York, then all of a sudden I could not connect to the internet using the GPRS unless I was in say Washington, DC. Upon on reading something in a chatroom regarding various settings, I saw the internet2 specified, and switched the official tmobile cab set network obtained from club imate from internet3 to internet2 and it has worked ever since. But I have noticed when traveling up and down the Eastern Seaboard that I do have to change the setting.
wap.voicestream.com is T-Mobile's main data line....from there you get to hop onto internet2 or internet3. It is best to have it set to wap.voicestream.com as you would benefit from this the most.
The reason why I said it would cause problems later on is that what if T-Mobile changes something or applies some changes (like reserving internet3 only for VPN customers) then you would be effected by this change.....so it's better to leave somethings default but tweak the hell out of the rest of th deivce!
A note about internet3....this is reserved specifically for those indivduals who have added VPN access to their accounts...you know the plan that allows you to use VPN access i think it's an additional 5$-10$ more per month....
you are probably right about the wap.voicestream.com I just posted what works for me. thanks for the cab, i will probably use it after i do a future rom upgrade.

any specific area i should install this on the phone? folders? thanks.
1. Download the file
2. Unzip the file
3. Right click the folder just before you see the files and make it "Read Only"
4. Transfer to device (I personally like keeping them on a storage card)
5. Open File Explorer and install one by one
a. Tap on file
b. Leave default setting of installing to Device
c. Tap Install
d. Tap OK (top right corner after successful install)
e. Repeat a-e for all cab files
6. Press and hold down power button until data loss message box comes up
7. Tap OK (unit will now power-off)
8. Power unit back on....enjoy life....
Although I must say you should consider flashing your device with the iMate 2.16 ROM....I have it running and I'm loving it! If you don't need it at least consider flashing your device with the original T-Mobile ROM available here. What's the point of doing either...
iMate - Faster, included Java support, AKU2 (MS Security/Push Technology)
T-Mobile Original - Other than physical appearance your device will function just like a stock T-Mobile MDA
i have the latested tmobile rom, can i just flash the iMate 2.16 ROM? what else do i need?
hi, i just updated my o2 mini s to the new rom from o2 uk.. ive been able to conect to tzones before.. now i cant.. PIE will stay at Locating before popping up an error message.. anything i can do to fix it? or get my tzones working again? thank you
the same for Cingular 8525 for t-mobile US
Will the t-mobile file in the previous message install t-mobile settings to work on an unlocked Cingular 8525? If not, does anyone have the settings? I could not get the ones at t-mobiles US or UK site to work. I will be brave and install while in Windows Mobile 5 (against my better judgememt)
Thanks!
FYI:
I did not hard reset it but simply installed the files in the order within the zip. I did get a waring on the registry edits.cab about being designed for an earlier version of windows. Anyway, I did the Power + OK button reset. Upon loggin, the HotSpot Login shows in the Connections and I was successfully able to send a MMS message my gmail account!
Thanks
I'm happy and relieved to say that this still works. I just updated my cingular 8125 with t-mobile service. Thanks lvlol!

Ok, i think im getting this, i also like everyone else here has a 8125 with T-Mobile. But i cant access the itnerent or send MMS.
So dose this mean i have to flash my cell phone with either the iMate or hte toehr MDA rom?
if i do will all hte wifi and all hte drivers work still like bluetooth and such?
t mobile settings
alright everyone, if you have the 5.99 tzones, 1. enter wap.voicestream.com in the apn info, 2. make sure you set the PROXY: 215.155.165.50 port 8080 for http and default ports for the rest, 3. make sure you change the default Internet connection to the one with the proxy under connections/advanced/select networks. and for email with the tzones you have to change the settings for your email to connect with the proxy connection or every time it checks email it'll disconnect and reconnect, and then you'll have to disconnect and reconnect to surf the web.
now for the full internet plan you dont need the proxy, the internet2 and 3 are for the blackberry plan and vpn plan if memory serves me correctly.
Nice thread!
Just used to configure a 8125 that I got of Craigslist yesterday, everything is working now on T-Mobile MMS SMS and internet.
have bought an exec to use with my 3 sim on three network , has anyone any sites that have the 3g gprs settings etc mms files etc to set it up as three customer services just laugh and say, ooo we dont sell that fone , dont know good luck.....
any help would be great
thanks
I don't think that phone can work on 3 network. I think it is of an complete different 'frequency'. Can you make/receive phone calls using the 3 sim?
yes, calls work etc not tried a video call as yet but i know lots of fones dont work at all with the 3 sim but the exec does
Same here
I have been using O2 XDA Exec on 3UK. Same problem can not set up the GPRS or the MMS.
Help needed please.
weird thing has happened, flashed with the qtek rom and now it says i have down loaded an illegal rom and just reboots and resets , so i align screen, it customises then reboots and then shows illegal rom notice again, anyone had this or have i missed it in the search pages

You can input all the settings, but I can't seem to be able to access the 3 portal.
In settings, connections tab, connections

Not sure if u need to input the Video gateway.
If anyone know how to actually open the portal, plz help,
I think the problem is that the page detects what device you are using, and an exec is not on their list.
My A1000 uses Opera so it cant be that much different...
Thanx Aristotle
3GRPS seems to work ok, considering that on EXEC it will not display any service pages still but does connect to 3.
Though the MMS settings are not working. I am not able to download my MMS messages and send either any suggestions.
Thankyou in advance
In Australia, so for we have got the Universal to connect to planet3, 3G for internet access, and video calling. We still have not managed to get it working for mms, and video streaming.

Oh that's good, is there anything special you need to do to access planet 3? because I can connect, but can't load any pages.
I guess the video streaming is to do with the hutchkey plugin(???)
Aristotle, you're in the UK, and it's all firewalled on 3, so I wouldn't get my hopes up. I know things are different in Australia (from the 3g forum).
That's why I left for t-mob: the irony is that the network that claims to be the most hi-tech is in fact the most low-tech of them all. On t-mob web and walk pro and the exec, you get full internet access (no restrictions), with infinite bandwith. That means during the day I remote-desktop to my home machine over 3G, then when I go home it switches calls to skype (I turn gprs off and wifi on), never worrrying about the bills. Try doing that on 3. :-/
lol.....well in australia we only really have one option for 3G at this stage, and thats 3.
walk into an optus store here asking about 3G, and if your lucky they know what your talking about, and at best they might be able to tell you that the broachers are coming.
Vodafone here, well not bad, but ask them anything outside what there trained to know and you might as well be talking egyptian.
telstra....lol....almost as bad as optus.....
Give us another 3 yrs....

Used to be on T-mobile but it's reception was (and still is) awful where I live, drops more calls than 3.
Yep, wouldnt it be great to have a program that would have all the F1 details for the season and also sync options to get all the latest news, minute by minute race and qualifing updates....mmm....sounds very viable

Hi guys,
Im also having a similar dillema to you guys.
Bought an SPV M5000 from ebay and unlocked with buzz's tool, but now using my 3 sim card I cant send any sms, or send/recieve any mms.
Im thinking I may just sell the phone on, wait until my contract expires, and get a new one on a proper contract with orange or O2 becuase im addicted to txting and its getting a bit annoying constantly swapping my sim into my A1000.
Thanx

no offence, but...
universal is a 3g compatible phone - it will work with 3, vodafone 3, Australia 3, etc - it is designed to do that.
secondly - use the http://mobile.three.co.uk/hb/7600/HutchKey as access to the portal - just make it your homepage. this one is for nokia, it works with me.
re sms - check the sms centre!!! thats all you have to do - call the support and they will give you the number.
confused
sorry to seem really thick ( I probably am), but where is the setting to change sms centre number on the unversal. Ive been through all settings and cant find it. I dont remember changing this on my A1000 when I flashed it with the non 3 Uk F/W
I've been told about this 3 network not compatible with any other phones except the phones that cames together with the package. I wonder why is it so? I mean, others are trying to lock the phone, so that it can't be used with other network. But locking the network to a certain phone doesn't make any business sense.
However, I've recently had a look on my friend's 3 network phone. And it seems that the phone main screen is flashing advertisements constantly. And, as far as I know, this 3 network is the cheapest to maintain so far, that's why many seems to be using it.
So, my current conclusion is that, they need a phone that has the ability for them to flash advertisements, if not, they won't let you have the cheap network rate without the ability for them to flash advert.

Hi igs, I can access some pages on planet 3, but not others, if I try for example the link you give for nokias, I get an error message (see below, sorry for the small image, can't find the right screenshot programme)
However, I can access some pages, e.g. checking my balance (see below), by typing the link. and if I click on the links from there, I can open some pages but not others.
These are my settings
I have APN: three.co.uk
Username password and domain are blank
Use server assigned IP address in TCP/IP and Servers
And nothing checked for proxy settings
Any ideas? Could it be that you have some plugin that I don't? Thanks....
Also ai118, I didnt need to specify a sms centre, it did it automatically...

Hi there
I am sitting here with lots of pulled-out hair lying around me on the floor. I have a problem with voicemail on my Orange SPV M700 which is wearing me down to a pitiful heap and if one of you clever people can help I will be grateful for even longer than eternity (and that's a very long time!).
I have an Orange SPV M700 which refuses to notify me when someone has left a voicemail. I think it's probably been like it ever since I started using an Orange 3G PAYG sim (I think it's called a USim).
Firstly, I have seen odd postings by others who have problems with voicemail on their SPV M700s, but they are normally people who have upgraded to WM6. I have not touched the operating system on my SPV M700 so am still running Windows Mobile ver 5.
By doing some tests/process of elimination, I have established the following:
1) Orange 3G PAYG SIM card does NOT give Voicemail notification when used in my Orange SPV M-700, but if I put the same Orange 3G PAYG SIM card into another phone (a old Samsung E700) the voicemail notification DOES work of the Samsung! Therefore I concluded that the problem isn't with the Orange SIM card or even, I presume, the Orange network.
2) An old Orange PAYG SIM card that I used to use DOES give Voicemail notification when in Orange SPV M700. Therefore I concluded that the Orange SPV M700 IS actually capable of giving out voicemail notifications. Please note that I notice that when the old Orange SIM card is in the SPV M700 the small square icon on the today screen top-bar is showing an "E" as the type of connection (I presume that's what it means?). When the problematic Orange 3G PAYG SIM card is in the SPV M700 the small square icon normally is showing a "3G"
This has led me to conclude that it's something to do with the SPV M700 not being happy with the Orange 3G PAYG SIM - or at least there's some setting that is wrong etc. However I have tried most things and still it refuses to notify me of awaiting voicemails.
Here is a list of my configuration settings on my SPV M700. If anyone can spot something that is wrong which may be the reason why I don't get voicemail notifications I'd be so grateful to know what is wrong as I can't keep phoning my voicemail all the time, just to see if anyone has left a message, as it's costing a lot of money to do that. By the way - I don't have any problems being notified that a new text message has been sent, that seems to work fine.

Basically I have everything set to notify me and also Display message on Screen.I am hoping someone can help - letting me know if I have something set up incorrectly or whether I need a fix for the phone etc. I would rather not upgrade to WM6 as I feel that I might end up with more problems. I am quite happy with WM5 - it's just the voicemail problem...
Thanks for taking the time to read this posting - I am sure I can't be the only Orange SPV M700 owner who has had this problem?
Cheers for now
Man in need of Assistance...
Theres a cab file floating around somewhere called smsfix (if memory serves me right). This used to cure the voicemail problem with orange sims, hope this helps.
Sorry, its called sms providers fix.
Have alook at this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1212958&postcount=20
The "sms providers fix" will fix the problem as i've been using it for over a year with no issue's.
Hi - firstly many thanks for taking the time to post a reply to my problem. I will check out the "sms providers fix". I have seen a couple of refernences to it when I originally searched however it only ever seemed to be for people who had upgraded their ROMs to WM6. I have never done that and am still running the original Orange WM5 so assumed that the correct dll's etc were still on my WM5 phone.
I will download the files and see what happens.
...just noticed that user "Forza" mentions to make sure that the sdk certificates are installed first before installing the "sms providers fix" - do you reckon that would apply to me when I am still using the original Orange WM5 ROM?
Thanks again!
Bit miffed that although the SPV M700 looks & feels nice - buggy MiniSD card handling & other weird stuff means that I have got to get involved with all this Hard SPL-ing, ROM Upgrading & Radio stuff - confusing to a novice like me... time will tell if it's all been a big mistake!

just seen that in your sig.....
trust me mate, its worth every minute flashing your rom, especially up to 6.1....much better than WM5
i was in the same boat as you, SPV M700 straight out of the box locked to orange etc...now im on custom roms, unlocked to any network, and on 6.1......best thing i ever did.
Hi Gizmolisa
Thanks for your reply. I guess I kinda know that you are right about upgrading to WM6. It's something I have fancied doing ever since getting the SPV M700 - my main problem is the concerns I have if I screw it up. I use the SPV M700 so much (not actually much as a phone - more for its PDA features) and if I botched up the upgrade I'd be really lost without it.
Having said that... maybe I should pluck up the courage and have a go. It just seems that there's quite a lot of things you have to get just right and because it's the Orange version of the Trinity i gather that once I start there's no going back to the original setup if things go wrong.
Wish I was braver!!!!
Cheers - still thinking about taking the plunge!!!!
Hi All,
If this is the wrong thread, sorry about that. I'm new to HTC, only had it 3 days. Here's my issue. I can make calls, receive calls and send and receive sms messages.
I have a htc diamond 2 topaz, bought it on ebay from a seller in China.
It's dual sim (so may be a htc clone) but when I phoned service provider to get mms/wap/internet settings it showed up on their system as htc diamond 2. And under the battery it says "Topa 1005vdc" Touch T5388+++ and has htc on the front screen and the back cover. Telstra sent me a message with a passcode, but then no settings came through. The person on the phone gave me the telstra.mms 010.001.001 stuff to input into the connection tabs.
When I try to use the internet explorer I get this pop up "the remote party has ended this connection". I also phoned virgin, and they don't have htc settings to send to me, so they sent me an email with generic instructions. Still no joy.
So in a nutshell, I have this glorious whiz bang phone that doesn't currently do internet, email, or gps navigation . The seller installed the english language, and tom tom mapping, but left out some english for the mms page. I push new mms, and all the choices are little squares (like if you don't install the chinese character pack when internet browsing, the writing? on the page shows as little squares.) So to try and send a picture message, I don't know where the phone number goes, or the title, the right hand side button apparantly leads to the options menu, but again all little squares. I came across the advanced settings (I think) for the mms input values (or something) but nothing I can read.
On a thread somewhere, someone advised someone else to get a htc settings wizard, so I did that. It popped up and said asked if I wanted it to configure the phone. Internet still wouldn't work. So I changed the gprs connection to sim 2, it asked to configure, it did, restarted, I tried internet and still no joy.
Can anyone help me please? Thank you very much in advance,
