Can any one tell me where to find step by step instructions to set up my XDA II for use on T-Mobile? I have unlocked it and can text and use the phone but nothing else. I also have one (my wifes) on orange and used the thread on these pages to set that up - works perfectly - but can't find anything similar for T-Mobile.
Thanks

Hi,
I just unlocked my XDA II and I'm using a Vodafone SIM in it. How do I utilize GPRS, WAP and Modem connectivity with this SIM? Is it possible to get rid of all the O2 crap installed on it, i.e. "clean" it up properly?
A new skin would be cool!
Cheers,

you are by no means the first who ask this question
And what's the answer? Is it possible at all?

yes it possible the xda is not limited to o2 in anyway
you just have to set it up
to do this you need to know the connection point your provider use for mms, grps and wap (if you also want that)
there are many posts which explane how you set it up in the network forum
but if you cant find any i could explane it step by step i suppose
i dont know much about o2's settings but if it's today stuff you can turn it off under today in settings
otherwise you can always make your own rom at www.yorth.net and get a more pure non o2 custom rom
you can get tons of skins as in today skins on many sites
and at yorth.net you can also get phone skins or have explaned how to make them yourself
Works fine now, thanks. Vodafone's acces point is named 'internet' (which was easy to read off the SIM), and the user/passwd is web/web (had to call them up to get that). So GPRS works fine. Needs some more info to set a Modem connection, but it shouldn't be hard.
The reason for my original posting, was that I was lead to believe that O2 had "locked" the device, which is not the case at all.
Anyway, thanks for info. Btw, the link you mention does not work...
Cheers,

my bad

spelling issue
Ttm, I'm confused. :shock: I am in the same situation as you (xda II with vodafone sim), yet i cannot connect GPRS using your settings. The settings I connect with are APN: pp.vodafone.co.uk with the same user/password as you. This connects fine yet i cannot send or receive emails.
Am i doing something wrong? have i missed something in the setup? what do you reckon? :?:
cheers, coj
well one thing is to be able send mails and another is to get mail working
can you get IE working ?
Yes, IE is working fine and dandy
then i doubt it's a grps issue
if you put in all the mail settings like
pop3 and smpt if you used those protocols
and it still dont work with your type of mail protocol
then i would contact the phone company to see if they rout
your type of mails
Hi, ive checked to see if this has been covered before and can't see that it has but apologies if it has. I have an unlocked XDAII which i intend to use on Vodaphone. Does anyone have the setup details (preferably in dummy speak) to enable vodaphone GPRS on it?
Many thanks in advance if you could share them with me.
Regards.
Check out This posting for connection settings and then This posting for instructions on what to put where. Just replace the O2 servers and settings with the Vodafone ones from the first posting.
Failing that, try the Vodafone customer service line - I think you can dial '123' from your mobile and they should be able to talk you through it (or send you more info).

This posting about the Irish GPRS settings is pretty good too.

I have upgrade my o2 xda exec to the latest qtek rom.
However i do not how to setup the various o2 services.
Anyone know what they are and where they go?
thanks.
The simple answer to your question is yes I do.
If you want the settings there is a thread somewhere with a cab file that you simply run and it will put all the settings in for you.
I can not remember where the thread is but once you find it put the file somewhere safe for next time.
I could send it you if you PM me your email address.
these ones work fine on my exec i also used these ones fine on my old spv m2000
do all the ones that quqi sat says

Hi All,
Today I went to my local 3 store to test my O2 Xda Exec/Jasjar (universal) with a 3 simcard. This is what I discovered.
The 3services settings allows you only to access planet3. 3netaccess Settings is to be able to surf the net on your phone. You will have to manually switch beween the settings depending on what you want to do.
Question to you all out there...... has anybody worked out how to get video streaming with 3 ? When it came to accessing Mobile TV, I could not get it to work, I got a message "your device is not supported for this service". This was the case for all video streaming on planet3. I was only able to view text stuff.
My initial thought about it is that there are file format issues, remebering that 3 offer no phones which are windows based? I am thinking to try it again using pocketTV software. I use this at the moment instead of crappy windows media player.
So has anybody resolved the streaming issue?
Must be @ least 1 aussie using 3 network here?

guinevere,
I am using Three Australia as well and like yourself would like to be able to view Three content. I have posted on several forums and the only thing constructive I have found out is apparently a certificate is required on the device to access Three video content. I have also been told that Three are planning on releasing a WM based device in the near future which may help our cause. Any information you could find would be great news to a lot of people who use Three in Australia.
Hi Shane, great to hear from you.
Thats interesting I have not heard that yet, but it hmakes sense. I Dont have a 3 sim yet, still in research stage, thinking of getting one anyway till I fnd a better option.
Perhaps we could use this thread to collect info for Universal use with australian networks as there is not much happening at the aussie3g forum for us.
Do you have any info about using universal on optus, vodaphone or telstra, I have not tested there sims yet.
Also shane, have you got MMS working?
Guinevere,
I don't use MMS so I can't comment on whether it works or not, but a lot of people seem to be posting that it has issues. An interesting sideline I was told by my Corporate Rep from Three is that a senior Three official in Australia has taken a shine to the Universal and is using it rather than a Three handset - so maybe some development might soon follow!
Like yourself, Three support don't want to know anything as soon as they hear that we are not using a Three handset.
I think it's a great idea to use this forum as a meeting place for Aussie Three users with WM devices.
None of my colleagues or customers at present have gone 3G but I have a customer who is looking to join the Telstra network. The customer has been told that Video content will work OK on the Jasjar from Telstra. (As yet the device has not been approved officially for use on the Telstra network -unbelievable I know!).
I will post updates once I find out anything new.
Shane
:idea:
Hi shane any news?
I have since got myself a 3 sim.....so far i am enjoyin it, just using it for basic things like reading tex news and other text stuff offered on planet3, also its good now with there My3 section where you can view your usage. I know also use it to check my pop3 email for when I am not in the office.
the only things still not functioning is the MMS and video streaming....which I have made up by converting all my favorite film clips and movies into divx's to play on my Exec
Thus far MMS and Video Streaming does not work on XDA Exec. Which is kind of silly since our phones are like 6 billion times better than what is in those 3 shops. :wink:

Telstra MMS Settings
I know this is an old thread, but some people may still be after the Telstra MMS Configuration for the Universal.
Under Connections, you need to rename "My Work" Network as Telstra MMS, and set up a new modem connection:
Enter Name of Connection as "Telstra.MMS" and select Cellular Line (GPRS,3G) for the modem. The access point is "telstra.mms.mnc001.mcc505.gprs". Leave username etc blank.
Next, open your inbox (messaging) and click on Menu/Tools/Options. Click on MMS to retrieve the MMS Configuration. On the preferences tab check "Retrieve Messages Immediately", "OK to download when roaming", and "Save sent messages" as you prefer with all other boxes blank.
Click the "Servers" tab. If you don't have Telstra there already, click on New. The Server Name should be Telstra, the Gateway is 10.1.1.155, and the port number 9201. Enter the server address as "http://mmsc.telstra.com:8002", and select "Telstra MMS" under Connect Via. Click OK until you are back to the Today Screen.
That works for my Jasjar on Telstra. Hope this helps somebody.
Hey,
I recently bought an unlocked htc wing from overstock.
Also know as the herald, and the XDA Terra.
I'm just trying to unlock the full abilities of the phone so i can use the web and mms.
I am using an at&t sim card.
This was a huge upgrade from my lg xenon (phone was piece of crap!)
The wing is running windows mobile 6.
If anyone can help me it would be very appreciated!
I understand that i have to change some settings, but i need help!

MOD EDITED
Not quite sure why the poster above gave you information to unlock your unlocked phone. I am using my wing on At&t as well. To get the network setup all you need is a .cab file called, Network Wizard.

Click on the link to download. Install on Wing and select the country and carrier and it automatically configures the device for you. I do suggest you delete old connection profiles like the t-mobile or any others you created just to speed up the actual connection process to the internet. If for some reason Network Wizard does not work properly you can manually edit the settings to connect to At&t. Here is what I used in the past before finding the Network Wizard.

For MMS all you need to install is ArcSoft. Do a search and you will easily find the .cab file for installation. That cab will give you fully functioning MMS with threaded messaging (see the whole conversation).
Good luck.
