help with gprs settings for vodafone uk on an xda1

hi all my first post so take it easy on me :wink: As above really I have tried everything I can find to set this up but have had no success only had the xda1 a few days so I am a little green with it.I know that the sim is gprs enabled because i had it working on my previos phone have tried help from vodafone that dont want to know because of it being an O2 phone all help appreciated please

Access Name;- internet
User name;- web
password;- web
Domain name not rqd
That should do it but not sure if you have to get it sorted also with Vodafone.

Tried it but it comes up with cant find the serial port name any suggestions vodafone emailed me last week said everything is switched on so I have ran out of ideas.

I have the same problem with XDA II
can anyone help
midhal

This is what I did;
1 Start / Settings / Connections Tab / Connections / Tasks / My ISP / Add new connection / Enter a name - Type whatever you want to call the connection, / Select a modem - scroll down to Cellular Line (GPRS) / Next / AccessPoint Name - internet / User Name - web / Password - web / Advanced button - check Use server-assigned IP address / Ok / Finish.

Try this it worked for me straight away http://www.expansys.com/forumthread.asp?code=108654&thread=31&man=IMATE
extract from the forum
OK got it now, after speaking to a very nice lady at Vodafone!
For GPRS internet connection for UK Vodafone sim cards, there are two categories: Pay as you Talk and Contract
Navigate to the usual screen: Start>Setting>Connections>Connections>
Add a New Modem to My ISP (use Cellular Line (GPRS)
For CONTRACT:
- APN: internet (lowercase)
- User: web (lowercase)
- Pwd: web (lowercase)
For PAY AS YOU TALK
- APN: pp.vodafone.co.uk(lowercase)
- User: web (lowercase)
- Pwd: web (lowercase)
leave anything else blank!
For me, what I was getting wrong was using APN: internet instead of pp.vodafone.co.uk!
Hope this clarifies the issue!

Help Setup GPRS @ Airtel (Bharti) MDA

I bought a T-Mobile MDA, unlocked it and have the latest Mr. Clean AKU 2 which was published here. But when i came back to India i cannot find a way to change settings for Airtel (airtelgprs).
After flashing the phone with Mr. Clean ROM, i installed the T-Mobile US seetings to automatiocally set-up the T-Mobile EDGE/GPRS. Now i want to know how can i remove the T-Mobile settings and configure to use with Airtel GPRS.

u can use the following settings for mobile office
access point : airtelgprs.com
connection name: mobileoffice
connection type: Cellular Line (GPRS)
jus set these up as My ISP and restart ur fone, everything will work.
this is for airtel bangalore. other places will remain same

pratap,
thanks for the info. But when i go to Start >> Settings >> Connections >> GPRS settings, it gives me only 2 options
Please select your GPRS authentication method
1. PAP Authentication and
2. CHAP Authentication
And it does not have any other options like menu or Next. I need to know how and from where i can access the real settings. I think T-Mobile US does not want users to know all the details and Airtel in India do. I think i have to remove the T-Mobile customization. Not Sure :-(

Setting->Connections->Connections->My ISP + Add a new connections is where you should be.

It Works!!! Hurray....Thanks Kevino....
Peace :lol:

SOS!! My HD2 cannot connect to web on O2 "Problem Solved"

Hi all,
I've got my sim-free HD2 from superetrader uk. But after inserting my o2 sim, I got a really big problem that I can't get to web!!
I used "O2" network settings found by HD2 automatically. But it always said
"Cannot Connect
Dialed: mobile.o2.co.uk
Cannot connect for an unknown reason. To check your connection...blahblah"
when I tried to access 3G.
I've tried many ways suggested on the internet, including removing username and password in the connection settings, adding DNS ip, and even using hard reset. But thay can't work at all.
But my sim does work well(accessing 3G) in my HTC HD(that rom supports 3G and connection settings are with blank username, password and DNS).
I nearly suspect there is a manufacturing problem with my phone.
Plz help me! I've struggled for 2 days and gonna explode!!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!
To find a solution, please go to #6. Thanks!

can you try to go on the o2 site using your pc and download the settings to your phone via mms/sms

are you a payg customer

are you using pay as you go?
if so on my mates phone on O2 it downloads the wrong connection settings when it does the automatic setup and you need to edit them to get it to work

Find and edit the right name for your accesspoint.
At german o2 it is APN (Zugriffspunkt) : webmobil1

Thank you all!!
You helpful guys all hit the point!!
Exactly I am a pay & go user.
After I got your replys, I asked my friend who also uses O2 pay&go with S1. He told me a different APN. Then I tried and it worked!!
So it's right a wrong access point name setting problem.
THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH AGAIN!!
Here are my correct connection settings for UK O2 PAY & GO USER WITH A SIM FREE HD2 if you undergo a pain with accessing internet:
Settings - Wireless controls - Menu - Connections - Add a new modem connection
[you can delete all other connections first if you only use o2 mobile internet]
Enter a name for the connection: mobile web (whatever you like)
Select a modem: Cellular Line (GPRS)
Next.
Access point name: payandgo.o2.co.uk
Next.
User name:
Password:
Domain:
(These three items are all left BLANK)
Advanced...
(Just use the default settings)
Finish.
OK.
OK.
Close.
Now it works.
Alternatively, you can use automatic config by choosing O2 from network database of HD2. Then you can just manage the connection "moblie web" by changing access poing name to payandgo.o2.co.uk and deleting both username and password.
Hope that's clear!

Thank you loads! I was having the same problem and thanks to this post I managed to sort it! Nice to know the automatic O2 settings thing works about as well as a chocolate teapot!
Again thanks

MTNL - India, Gprs problem with settings

Hi..
I am trying to connect my HTC WM6.5 based phone to internet via gprs. I have a MTNL connection in Delhi. I have installed these settings.
Following Settings are under Modem settings. :
Connection name : MTNL GPRS
Access Point Name : gprsmtnldel
And Following settings under proxy -> wap proxy settings
Wap Server : 172.16.31.10
Port : 9201
Username : mtnl
Password : mtnl123
But cannot connect to the net. The phone tries for a while then shows "Could not connect due to unknown reasom"
Than I check for settings again, the password I entered had automatically changed to a 12 letter word.
Please help me configuring windows mobile.

try removing the proxy settings.
only use > manage existing connections > name should be mtnl
modem type cellular line
Access Pint name as per your service
username & password
that should help

go to coonection -->gprs authantication-->select mtnl connection name
and select authantication type as PAP

I'll tell you by tomorrow, I had it working successfully before my last hard reset.

Settings
Start-settings-connections-my isp-Select name-below select cellular gprs-apn...-username password - click finish then go to edit my proxy check boxes & click advanced tab enter ip in http & port number 8080 then wap enter ip port number as 9201 then click ok thats it Enjoy

Hi, Thanks alot for the setting you provided! I did the setting for delhi mtnl prepaid and it works like a charm I followed exactly as you mentioned and changed mum to del and used (gprsppsdel) not (gprsmtnldel)..
But there is no 3G connectivity. In the cellular network (on my HTC HD2), I could find only MTNL GPRS (there is no option to choose 3g). Anyways, I am atleast happy with the gprs connectivity as I can update my mail box and weather report. Thanks alot....

Hi Ruzan, you should make your setting available outside this forum (I dont know how...) but I see lots of people desperately looking for it....Day before yesterday I changed flashed my rom, and I google search for two days, and finally I stumbled upon your setting today and to my surprise, it was your post that help me earlier too...Thanks again

[Q] wap settings (Loop/BPL mobile ) for HTC Wildfire

hi,
pls help me with wap settings (Loop/BPL mobile ) for HTC Wildfire(android).
although wap works on my nokia, doesnt do so in wildfire.
when contacted tech support-BPL/Loop,the said that 'Loop wap' is incompatible with wildfire. must choose a gprs plan(read- a more costlier plan).
after reading other posts, found tech support is poor for windows/android.
pls advise.
