T Mobile are a bunch a t******.
I asked them if they could provide me with the GPRS setting so that I could use it with my XDA - their response 'we dont support that phone'.
OK I said just give me the settings and I'll set it up - their response 'we dont support that phone'.
So I say, lets pretend I've got a Nokia give me the settings and I'll sort it out - their response 'Nokia settings are totally different to XDA so we cant give you those settings'
Finally I say, lets pretend I've got a non competitor product (Siemens SX45, HP Jornada 928, Palm Tungsten W....anything) JUST GIVE ME THE SETTINGS - their reponse - THEY PUT THE PHONE DOWN!!
So my questions is does anyone have the settings so that I can start using GRPS on my XDA.
Thanks

Hi,
I'm in excatly the same position as you. Also have an unlocked XDA on t-Mobile. Took me ages to get the settings out of them ( they are a bunch of mentally handicapped people at the best of times...)
Bad part for me is..even with these settings...it takes a while to connect...and sometimes it does not connect at all...Your luck my vary ( please let me know if you have any success)
1.Under connections, create a new connection and choose "Cellular Line (GPRS) " modem as the modem type.
2.Leave everything else on defaults.
3.When it asks you for an access point, type "general.t-mobile.uk" ( it is not a spelling mistake it is .uk and not .co.uk)
4. Click finish
5. Under GPRS Authentication choose "CHAP"
6. Under CSD Line type choose "Analogue"
7. Make sure that when you dial that the GPRS connection number is +0~GPRS!general.t-mobile.uk -> set the area code and country code both to 0.
8. Make sure that there is a "G" next to the operator name ( when you click on the signal strength box). If you don't have this..t-mobile has not switched on your GPRS account. Call them and ask them to enable "GPRS Data" for your account. Not WAP, MMS or something else but "GPRS Data" (they are clueless)
9. If you still have problems...call tmobile support..but instead of talking to them..ask to speak to the data support team. ( these guys actually know a bit more...but not much...- at least they know what data GPRS is)
All in all I spoke to a guy a carphonewarehouse...and he has tried t-mobile, vodafone, orange and o2. He told me that all of these services only offer gprs at 9600 except for orange ( which he seemed to like ), that offer gprs at 19200 and that they are pretty clued up.
Anyway..hope it helps.

Thanks for your reply. I'll try this out and let you know how I get on.
Incidentally when I was on the phone to them they said that they dont support any PDA's and have no instructions - I've checked, its on their website!!
I also mentioned to them that this exact same phone is available in USA, Germany, Austria, Poland and Czech Republic under the name MDA.
Thinking about it, maybe I ought to be working for T Mobile, because I sure as hell know a lot more than their 'call centre staff'

network log on
Thanks for the post Milmber. I followed your instructions and when i try to use GPRS I get a message saying
Network Log on
Resources T-Mobile
Then it asks for user name, password, domain.
Any idea what this should be or have I done something wrong
Thanks in advance
Primed
Hi,
Sorry...forget to add the username and password...could have sworn I put it in ;-)
Well anyway, when you get prompted add only a username and password:
Username is "user"
Password is "one2one"
Let me know how you manage....
...btwI left the domain setting empty...but your milage my vary...
Hi Prime,
Just to let you know...tried the GPRS again today ( with the settings I gave you above...) and the GPRS seems to be working fine.
I'm starting to wonder if it has something to do with the T-Mobile signal strength..since this works for me here at work...but not at home....
Hi Milmber
I found a website that gives the lastest settings and it states that the settings are:
'user'
't-mobile'
This seems to work as well.
If you want the email address, let me know.
Primed
Hi Prime,
if you could post/email me the address of the settings page you found that would be much appreciated!

Hi guys, I am sorry for posting this request but I have been looking for some time for it with little success...I need to find the file that updates/installs the GPRS settings for 02 for my XDA 2i. I've done a hard reset and went for corporate version which seems to work okish and I have no GPRS settings at all for some reason.

O2 Gprs settings
if you want it done automatically look in the EXT ROM and there's a cab file called "O2UK_Conection_Setting.sa.cab" (well there is on my XDAIIs ).
Or I can PM you it if you like - PM me if you do as I might not read this page for a while
Hiya guys.
I've tried adding these manual settings into my XDA 2, but I get the following error when I try to connect:
Dialed: mobile.o2.co.uk
No modem at above number. To check your connection settings, and change them if needed, tap Settings.
What do you guys suggest?
i think your settings are different to the xda2i
Yeah I'm using a bog-standard XDA 2.
Can someone point me in the right direction for the normal xda2 settings?
why not try phoning o2 maybe they can help ,it will take about an hour but they will see the light :wink:
or go here there are some settings on this page just find what you need

I have attempted to set up GPRS on my M600 (Unlocked for Vodafone sim)
GPRS has been enabled as I have the G icon up!
I have been on the vodafone website and tried there settings with no luck!
I have been on the Filesaveas website and plugged in all of those settings with NO luck, Have also installed the I-mate .cab again with no luck!!!
I am starting to go insane spent three days trying all different settings and No luck at all!!!!
You name the website and I think Ihave probably tried it.
Does anyone have any useful advise for me, provide me with some form of sanity check!!!!
Ideally I wold love a .cab file to install!
But would like feedback from anyone else in a similar position, on how they resolved this some what annoying issue!!!!
regards
Wilko_007
I set up my Vario II for Vodafone with no problem. These settings (*.pdf file) seem to be the same as the ones I used, see how they compare with the settings you are using.
Many thanks I will give it a go!
Ok have now got connection but I can't surf?
I have seen comments about GPRS beening fully enabled?
Are there 2 forms of GPRS that can be enabled? WAP & WEB???
Do I need to worry about the Dialing Rules???
Thanks in advance for your assistance!!
[/img]
Could you be a little more specific i.e. does it come up with a pop-up box stating that it is connecting to GPRS? If yes, which connection does it say it is connecting to, is it the correct one (i.e. the new GPRS settings that you have just keyed in)? When you say it won't surf, what do you mean exactly ... are you using Pocket IE and does it come up with any error messages etc...
Connection via GPRS No probs I then get the Small G and the two arrows fixed on the bar.
Enter IE and type google for example.
get the status bar flash up breifly and then disapear, with no change to the original Orange World Home page!!!
No errors what so ever????
okay ... the next thing I would probably do then is download an alternative browser to see if it still happens in a different browser. Netfront is pretty good. At least that way you should be able to establish if it is a GPRS problem or a browser problem.
Ok I now have installed Netfront and connected to the GPRS!
typed in www.google.com
I have a warning screen:
Browser Warning
Cannot load Page
Type: DNS no server is specified
?????
Okay .. I am running out of ideas now, it does sound like your GPRS Settings are still wrong.
Click 'start menu', 'settings' and go to the 'Connections' tab. Now click 'Connections', then the 'Advanced' tab then 'Select Networks'. The first box (ie. Programs that connect to the Internet automatically) should say 'My Isp' and if you click 'Edit', it should show you 'Vodafone Internet' is selected.
If you then select to edit that, you should see in this order 'Vodafone Internet' and then it should show modem type as GPRS, next page should show Access Point Name of 'Internet', next page should show User name 'Web' ... password is the same, domain field should be blank ... nothing needs to be done in the advanced tab because the default of 'Use-server-assigned IP address' should automatically be selected, same for the server tab too, default should be server-assigned.
These are the settings that work fine on both my XDA Mini S and my MDA Vario II.
Right I have checked both ISP and MyWork Network, all correct!
The only thing I can see is that the password box has loads of characters (*'s) instead of just 3 *'s for WEB (***)
But every thing else is as the PDF??
Stumped!!!!
you can try messing with the newly released ms network tools there is a link in development forum
or you can try manualy typing in a know dns server in the settings
unless the gprs dont route the request
any dsn server ip will do
same as pc's really
I am afraid I don't know then ... we have reached the level of my knowledge (which isn't high )
Perhaps somebody with a little more technical knowhow on GPRS issues may be able to help you.
Sorry I couldn't get it sorted for you.
Thanks for your help a least I can connect now!!
Thank you again!!
anyone heard of the connection No. being *99#?
Vodafone instructed me to put that in the setup?
I guess that goes in under the " My Work Network" Vodafone Wap - Number?
This is now becoming a huge headache anyone got any ideas?
not sure how vodaphone handle it but i never heard about
ppl having to add numbers when they picked gprs as connection
belived that was only if you connected around grps

I'm expericening a similar problem.
My phone was sold as an O2 XDA Mini S. My O2 contract/account doesn't allow GPRS (they want me to upgrade) so I tried my Vodafone PAYG SIM and it works without having to have the phone unlocked in any way. By that I mean I can use voice calls and using the settings I've found through this site I can send MMS messages via GPRS but I cannot connect to the internet. I've checked with Vodafone and the account will allow internet and GPRS etc.
The only thing that I can see that is wrong is the password. Whenever I type "web" then finish, it always defaults back to a string of 16 ***'s when I re-check the settings.
I've even done a hard reset and used the corporate install to no avail. I don't want to run any sort of unlocking software if I don't need to as I don't want to create a very expensive door stop.
Any ideas?
The string of asterisks is normal, I think it is just a method used by Windows to make the password more difficult for someone to guess i.e. by disguising not only the characters but also the number of characters.
I just double checked and my fully working settings also show a row of asterisks despite it being a 3 character password.
Thanks Nicky
I'll keep plodding away with this but hopefully someone might steer me in the right direction soon.

For a still unknown reason to me, my Wizard has faster data connection than my Hermes, the connection speeds (as per www.dslreports.com/mspeed for the Wizard ranges from 86 to 101 kbit/sec, while the top speed for Hermes is
6 kbit/sec With same internet settings
I´ve tried different things found in diverse threads (Increasing the TCP Window Size, which by the way reducing it gives "better" results, Change the DNS addresses as per OpenDNS, the tweak to make PIE as IE6,etc. etc.)
See signature, any idea?
Thank you!
yep. and your 10,000$ car is faster than a porche! haha
Hard to believe it...
Good analogy! Saddly for me is true, perhaps the Porsche is great for highways (G3) and doesn´t like the dusty roads (Edge).....
For me also. I found the 8125 loaded pages faster in PIE than did my 8525
Lucky you!

The only page I´m able (and not allways) to open with the 8525 is www.dslreports.com/mspeed and allways in the WAP mode, http mode is impossible as well any e-mail. How is your e-mail connection?
that scares me now, I'm about to throw my Wizard for Hermes!!! Can this be confirmed? I want to know, since I have already ordered my Hermes and not found a buyer for the wizard . Besides all has nicely been messed/ juiced up for the wizard.
It is well confirmed!

If you look at my postings you´ll find that the first post on the subject was placed back in December last year, I´ve tried a lot of things, have read in a lot forums (not only xda-devs) and NOBODY was able to give me a hand (check my signature, it´s been that way for weeks and I haven´t received a single comment from experts in this site . I´m almost sure that the problem is a combination of conditions on both the 8525´s and my network. If you know somebody subscribed to your network and owns a 8525 check twice that the internet connection is as fast as it´s supoused to be.

wiazzard is fater for sure but thats beause we got super chagers

All time based so roll 2 or even better sell your wizzard for more thatn you have to pay for the hermes.
Don't foorget 9g is worthless on a device that can not handle it.
Make sure you tell att that you are goingto be in the 3g coverage zone so they give you the 2100 version

@aboutthemind
First off: Thanks a lot for your interest in this problem and to have taken the time to write all this step by step guide, I really appreciate it.
Now here´s the funny thing: I have all connection settings exactly the same in my Wizard and in my Hermes, even more: Sometimes I use a cab to set my connections up.
My telco is Telefonica Movistar Mexico
The settings I have under a "Celular Line (GPRS)" modem :
Connection Name: Internet GPRS
APN: internet.movistar.mx
User name: movistar
Pasword: movistar
Domain: blank
Advanced: TCP/IP: "Use server assigned IP address" checked, all other boxes not checked.
Advanced: Servers: "Use server assigned addresses"
Do not uses PROXY
Connection Name: Emocion GPRS
APN: wap.movistar.mx
User name: movistar
Password: movistar
Proxy Settings
HTTP Proxy: 10.2.20.1:80
WAP Proxy: 10.2.20.1:9201
Secure WAP Proxy: 10.2.20.1:9203
Socks Proxy: 10.2.20.1:1080
I´ve check over and over the configuration as the user interface allows it and ALL parameters are correct, the problem is hiden somewhere within the registry or the OS....!
Funny, I get speeds on my Hermes of OVER 1000 ...
Hi
Can anyone help a novice here?
I have recently upgraded my ameo to WM6.
In the process I lost all my connection settings for tmobile.
I have a web n walk sim but just cannot get the connection correct.
Also for some reason i no longer receive text messages so cannot use the tmobile link to "send settings" to ameo.
Please please help
Thanks

The tmobile settings can be found by searching the forums - they are in a few places.
Which ROM did you use - most now include the Network Wizard which will run automatically after upgrade. If not it is at Start\Settings\Connections. That will insert the correct settings for you.
Hi
Thanks for the quick reply.
ROM Version - 2.20.405.1
ROM Date - 06/21/07
Radio Version - 1.32.00.00
ExtROM - 2.20.405.101
Yes the Network Wizard is there and it puts the settings in but to no avail.
The 3G logo comes up and i have 4 bars to show high signal strength but whenever i try to connect to the net it says the modem you are connecting to has dropped the connection.
Can anyone point me to the correct thread?
Thanks
Alan
One more thing I did upgrade to real vga 128dpi

The connections settings are correct using the Network Wizard. The problem you are having may actually be a network problem. I get this from time to time with T-mobile UK - I will get this message for a couple of hours and it will then just stop (it often stops more quickly if I am on the move which I assume is becuase I am moving cells)
How do you mean you are 'no longer receiving texts'? is this a common request to cusomer services!?
Anyway as far as I know you cannot have settings sent by text to the Ameo, or any windows mobile device - you have to input them manually or use the settings wizard.
Try going on settings/phone/band and change to GSM - see if you still fail to get a connection. If so try upgrading your radio, then reflashing.
If this fails try another t-mobile SIM in the Ameo.
Your error is not one I have ever come across on T-Mobile uk using my Ameo.
T-Mobile settings:
Start - Settings - Connection - Connection - Under my ISP click on Manage Existing Conn.
Delete all connections in there, and click on Proxy at the bottom and remove the tick on this network requires Proxy.
Create a new connection:
Cell Line (GPRS)
Access Point: general.t-mobile.uk
Username: user
Password: pass
No DNS, no IP, no proxy.
Save and soft reset.
Good luck.
Thanks everyone!
Eventually got this sorted.
Works like a dream now
Reflashed, used the wizard and all is well in the world.
Is anyone having a problem with media player?
Every time I launch media player the ameo crashes (as in locks).
Thanks again

Current T-mob phones are coming out with USER as t-mobile, however, user still seems to work.

Again some units come with a Proxy pre installed (My N95 did)-
149.254.201.132
Proxy port- 8080
If this doesn't work then use without.
Also try a DNS server setting-
DNS 4.2.2.1
Alt DNS 4.2.2.2
