I 'm experimenting problems to setup a GPRS connection with my local cellualr provider, because it seems that here in MEXICO, you need to configure +52 55 *99# intead of +0..... (tmobile default configuration) I own a TMOBILE XDA PW10B1 ROM: 3.08.10 ENG, Radio Version: 6.02
Can anybody help me to do this configuration?
Sounds like your GPRS operator needs to go on a course
A GPRS handset doesn't actually dial a number. The *99# is used as a code to tell the phone to connect to GPRS it is not sent to the network.
There are actually 3 ways for a GPRS phone to connect to a GPRS network
ATD*99# (or ATD*99***1# on some handsets)
AT+CGACT=1
AT+CGDATA=1
The last two don't work in practice as once you are connected you need a PPP link to do anything useful.
You do need to tell the phone what Access Point you wish to connect to (the bit after the +0~ on the display, which can be removed by tweaking the Dialing Locations section). This is done by the AT+CGDCONT command, but as all AT commands are 'hidden' by Pocket PC the Connection Manager sets this before it connects.
The customer care person in Mexico simply doesn't understand how GPRS works. Unfortunatly few customer care staff do elsewhere in the world either.
Thanks for your replay.
how can I tweak the Dialing Locations section?
I'm new in this kind of tech.
Start\Settings\Connections\Connections\Dialing Locations\Dialing Patterns
Replace everything (or just International Calls) with g.
Mind you it will make no diference to the GPRS operation of the device, only the display of the "dial string" in the message window.
I works!!!! very well. It fells a litte bit slow, but it works... Thanks.
Is that possible to somehow see what AT commands have been used by the connection manager/pocketpc?
I have GPRS working on pocketpc, but I couldn't get it working using AT commands magic and with pppd (under linux, not on the XDA, but the same SIM/network.).
Why is there no wireless modem in "4.00.11 ENG WM2003"?
Can I install Wireless Modem to WM2003 manaually?
Any ideas are greatly appreciated. I really want to check my emails when I am off road.
any ideas?
i would search on google to see if you can download or buy the application
otherwise why do you need to make your xda a wireless modem to check your mail ?
if it's a pop/smpt mail server and your isp have it open you can check mail with your xda using gprs
thats what i do
if gprs costs $1 for 1KB, you cant really use it!
so, i wanna dial up to my ISP instead using gprs.
i checked google and could not find anything!
Code:
if gprs costs $1 for 1KB, you cant really use it!
WOW!!!! never heard about such extreme gprs prices
here it's around $2 pr 1MB
GPRS Price
Yeah, wow, GPRS is about £1 per 1Mb in the UK.
I guess thats a typo!
not a typo. i am in a little island in europe
is the price to talk equaly high ?
if not then it would prob be cheaper to shout 1's and 0's and transfer data that way
if you wanted to use the xda as a modem would that not be over gprs aswell ?
i know that you can use a gsm as a normal modem aswell but not all that many isp's support it
and at a higher price too i think
the talk price is fine. it's still higher than in many countries in europe, but i am okey with it.
so, i am planing on using my gsm phone to call to my isp. my isp allows that and my carier allows data tranfer over the phone capability.
what i am just missing is the software - wireless modem!
you could try and diasm a rom and pick out the files for vmodem if it works with 2003
otherwise i suppse you have to go back to 2002
Hi all,
i just took my O2 Exec and i have some basic questions that seek for an answer quickly...
I cannot understand whether there is a simlock there or no... i put in there my sim card (Voda UK) and some strange things happen. i sometimes get a UMTS vodafone uk signal and other times a gprs one... Like every five minuits the G turns in to a U and so on.... What do i need to do???is there a simlock and if so how do i unlock?
How do i hard reset my phone and what ROM should i use?
Were can i get the Voda UK settings for mms and gprs?
Is there anything else that i should set in order to have a fully functioning mobile for sms, mms, voice calls?
and a not important one... shouldnt there be the skype software in my phone?
I know that i should search and find what i want but i am in the the midle of an assignment and i do not have the time to do so... Just need to have my phone functioning properly until i have the time to dig out the rest of the things that i want.So just forgive me for asking insted of searching.Wont happen again.
HELP ME
Excuse my bad english...
Thanx all

It is just moving between UMTS and GPRS. Mine does it too. If it can't get a good enough signal on UMTS it switches to GPRS. If it sees a better UMTS signal, it switches back.
How do i hard reset my phone and what ROM should i use?
Two soft buttons while pressing stulus reset hole. Nothing wrong with the O2 ROM so stick with that.
Were can i get the Voda UK settings for mms and gprs?
http://www.filesaveas.com/gprs.html
Is there anything else that i should set in order to have a fully functioning mobile for sms, mms, voice calls?
See above
and a not important one... shouldnt there be the skype software in my phone?
Only the JASJAR and MDAPro come with Skype IIRC.
Thank you for the extremely fast and accurate reply.
So there is no problem with the U and G thing. Ok then i will just get used to it. It was that i have never seen the U before.
U means 3G and fast data speeds.
it seems that i cannot manage to do the right settings so that my sms,mmsa dn gprs works. I found the settings but...no combination worked.
Anyway, is there a how to or something that i can check out?
Any other ideas?
Many thanx

You can install Skype yourself from the Skype website, but IMHO it's not ready yet. It's very slow and buggy, and the connection quality is questionable.
Wait a month or two until Skype is fully compatible with WM5 and the experience will be much better!
I am getting really confused here......
I managed to fix my gprs 3g settings (following a wm 2003 quide and using the settings from filesaveas) and i can surf the net but i still cannot receive and send any mms.
Any ideas????
HELP!!!
edit: Also is there anybody that has active sync 4.1? i cannot even syncronise my contacts.!
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
Re: Same here

You can input all the settings, but I can't seem to be able to access the 3 portal.
In settings, connections tab, connections
advanced tab, select networks
new, and input the relevant info from here:
Data accounts: Create one called 3 GPRS.
APN: three.co.uk
Username:
Password:
Login request: Off
Allow calls: Automatic
IP address:
DNS address:
Authentication: Normal
Data compression: Off
Header compression: Off
MMS settings can be entered via outlook menu
gateway: http://mms.um.three.co.uk:10021/mmsc
proxy: 217.171.192.2
port: 8799
(account is the 3UK avvount above)
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....

Yeah, I know, thanks =/ it would be nice to see the F1 news and footie scores whilst on the train...
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
sms
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

omg
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...

I think that might be a 6280, you can turn those 'adverts' off
Hello,
Can anyone tell me if on the exec when browsing sites you can hear the music on myspace profiles?
also what is the best way to get cheap internet as i will only be buying the exec for mobile internet so need something as cheap as poss! the phone is a bonus
thanks
anyone? please
I haven't tried this (yet) so can't comment on quality. 3 pay as you go has the option to buy a months unlimited internet for £5. I don't know if that means data or is specific to port 80 access only.
Ian
I think its possible and I know internet radio is possible with the tmcp player. even youtube.
Hey,
The Exec does not take 3 'contract' phone sim cards does it? So that kicks that £5 per month internet thing?
oh yes it does. ive unlocked mine and have a "3" sim inside it, i get unlimited internet for £5/mo on payg
to answer the other question, some ports are blocked but personally i have a vpn running across "3" mobile network to get access to all services, even voip
it also works as a modem, which your not supposed to be able to do, but it works
Very interesting Phycho.
At the risk of asking the "bleedin' obvious" is that with WM6?
I would be interested in a run-down on the settings for "3" as I am just in the process of purchase from them.
yes. just use the network config wizard set to 3, it just works.
