Orange GPRS XDA settings for pay monthly

I HAVE TRIED ALL THE GPRS SETTINGS ON THIS SITE BUT STILL CANNOT GET IT TO WORK,
BUT IF YOU ARE LIKE ME.
MY FRIEND AS A ORANGE MOBILE SHOP.HE IS GOING TO GIVE ME THE FULL SETTINGS ON SATURDAY 28/06/03. AND I WLL PUT THEM ON THIS
SITE

i have just got back in, and it WORKS, i have a xda on o2, i have unlocked my 02 xda with the software on this website, it is really good. But the settings on this website for the gprs none of them would work. I had an Orange pay monthly sim card with gprs enabled which, when i unlocked my xda, i couldn't establish a connection with gprs so here goes; here are the settings you need:
on the xda today screen
go on (start)
(settings)
(connections)
(connections)
on the,( when needed,automatically connect to the internet using these settings
drop the menu don and tap (new)
and write (orangegprs)
tap (next)
on the (select a modem)
drop the menu don and tap (oncellular line gprs)
drop the menu don and tap (baud rate) and tap (19200)
and tap next
access point name (orangeinternet) and tap finish
go back to (connections)
and tap (dialing lacations) tap dialing patterms change all the settings to G
tap (ok)
on connections tap modify orangegprs
tap modem tap orangegprs,tap advanced,
tap use name servers, tap use specific server address,
in dns 158.043.192.001
in alt dns 158.043.128.001
in wins leave it as 0
in alt wins leave it as 0
tap ok
tap next
tap finish
tap ok
that's it, you're done, but it's important when you connect to the internet, you must go from the today screen - start - settings - connections - connections (again) - and connect. Once you have connected to the gprs, then launch internet explorer.
If you don't do it this way, the 02 software wants to change all your connection settings back to 02.
Hope this helps you all out.
Please give me feedback

HI dave,
I was just going to post a message asking if someone had grps settings for orange in the UK !!!!!
just like you , i had an o2 xda which i unlocked using the fab tools by xda-developers.
i will get gprs enabled on my sim and then try your settings.
You are saying that, once configured, i cant just click on IE to launch the gprs ?
thanks mate

Hi Ali-Butt
I forgot to say you will b asked for a user name and pass word
leave this all blank and judt tick the save box

cheers mate
i am doing the settings now !!!
can i ask, why you have one set DNS settings and another posts by other chaps have others????
i have seen
dns1:193.35.131.194
dns2:193.35.131.195
are these wrong?
thanks mate

HI Mate
WhenI got the GPRS working with the settings I have posted, when I clicked on ie, without connecting to the GPRS first the settings change back to the o2 settings. How I connect is to go to start, settings, connections and connections again and then connect, then the GPRS will connect then I launch ie. Since then I removed from the xda the o2 smart menu from the add and remove programmes now I can just launch ie and I have no problems, at the beginning when I put the settings in and I was having trouble with the o2 settings taking over, for some reason I can't understand the orange settings were all still correct but would not work so even though the settings were still there and correct I had to start re entering them as a new connections all over again. Hope this helps you out, if you have any trouble please post a message on here and I will be more than willing to hepl you.
cheers Dave

HI Mate
pay as you go. i think
dns1:193.35.131.194
dns2:193.35.131.195
it is pay monthly i think but these work
dns1:158.043.192.001
dns2:193.043.128.001
dave

Hi dave,
thanks for your posts.
i can now tell you my findings.
firstly, i created a new connection with the apn "orangeinternet"
using cellular gprs as the line and 19200 as the speed.
If i click on ie.... it connects first time !!!.. works a treat !
if i click on internet on the O2 smart menu, it tries to connect back to O2....
so quick solution, just remove it from the main screen and your laughing!
so mine is all working without specifying any dns settings. Perhaps its all dhcp , with ip / gateway / dns all coming down from orange?
do you think it will make any difference adding them in?
perhaps faster name resoultion?
cheers dave

I dont know why but i cant setup my PAYG orange sim for gprs...pls help

Orange GPRS
Hi,
I'm a bit of a newbie with the XDA, Ive setup as per the instructions above and I'm connecting ok (i think) - as i can send retrieve emails and surf - I'm just a little unsure as to whether it's connecting via GPRS or just by a data call as I dont get the "G" on the screen to signify GPRS - can anyone help please
Cheers

Hi, i have this sorted now. you create a new internet connection and use the gprs setting from the dropdown, the only setting you need is the accesspoint name which id payginternet, all other settings are default... even the orange phone trainers couldnt get it working.

:lol:
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT GUYS, IT WORKS A TREAT!
LAST NIGHT I WAS SO DESPERATE THAT I WAS GOING TO CALL IT A DAY, BUT… I KEPT READING YOUR POSTINGS AND I THINK YOU ARE ALL SUPERB!!!
MANY THANKS TO YOU ALL. NOT EVEN ORANGE KNOWS HOW TO DO THESE SETTINGS.

I need HELP !!!
I have tried to follow various updates here to connect my O2 XDA via GPRS to ORANGE UK. It have the PPC2003 Cooked ROM and hence none of the above instructions are quite what I see.
However all I had to do was:
start -> settings -> connections -> connections --> created a connection called ORANGE with modem type "Cellular Line (GPRS) -> Next -> "ACCESS POINT NAME" typed: "orangeinternet"
Afterthis do NOT fill in anything for userid or password and just select FINISH.
I also had to: Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Connections -> select ADVANCED tab -> "Select Location" button -> select Mobile and press Edit button -> Select DIALING PATTERNS button -> For ALL entries select "G" instead of the default "+EFG".
With all above done I CAN connect to internet and even connected to my ISP WEBMAIL but it is slow. I also do NOT get the "G" icon for GPRS.
I am not sure if this is conecting via GPRS or NOT ???
when I type WWW.ORANGE.NET it does say it is connecting via GPRS but I do not see the "G" icon. Any help ???
Also I just signed up for ORANGE UK EMAIL and then tried to via orange.net instruction to configure my XDA inbox but they only recognise a small number of PDAa with PPC2003 connected to a phone via bluetooth or IRD. They do not support PPC 2003 or XDA.
HOW Do you configure the XDA inbox to connect to orange pop3 and smpt server and download mail ???
PS: I can ping SMTPOUT.ORANGE.NET but no pop3 server...
Thanks for any help. :!:

I just figure out what to do to get connected to Orange email.
Simply: start -> Inbox -> Accounts -> New Account -> Type in your Orange EMail Address -> Type in your USERNAME and PASSWORD and select "Save password" -> NEXT -> FINISHED.
That is it. I can connect to internet and email via my INBOX and WEBMAIL.
WEBMAIL is slow but inbox is just OK on the move.

Hi I have a XDA II I have unlatched it from O2 I am now on orange I need to be able to send and recieve MMS, the instructions dont seem to work on my XDA, orange say that I am enabled to send MMS.... can anyone help please Thank you

asking about internet sharing with P3600 and P6500
Hello,
i have learned a lot reading this forum and i am wondering if you know about this:
When my PC connect to internet through internet sharing of P3600 i get H mode (HSDPA), then how can i see the real rate of sharing ?
Is it reaching 10 Mb of local network, or else ?
What is the real rate of HSDPA for P3600 ? And for P6500 ?
(1.6 Mb/s and 7.2 Mb/s ? )
Do you think QUALCOMM of SIRIUS P6500 can support overclock ?
Do you know DNS settings for french orange internet with PDA ?
Thanks anyway. Mobility with HTC is much fun and efficiency.
; -))
I also share this experience about energy saving on HTC P3600 and TYTN:
Many users are complaining about autonomy of HTC. I have check settings of internal cards and everything is set - no saving - in extended settings.
Then, i experienced the setting - energy saving - during travels.
I does work, and i get days of battery autonomy.
The most impotant is to set SD card to -ernergy saving, and Wlan, and Wifi, and infrared, and also two other network cards.
Let me know your experience and setting about energy saving please.

I too spoke to O2 today. I spoke to the guy I normally speak to and he said that they are having trouble with getting PPC 2003 working :evil: Are we all doomed to a life without GPRS :shock: It seems so until I flash my ROM back to XDA-Dev 1.2
I'll keep bugging O2 until they can give me an answer about the GPRS settings. Perhaps a new version of the ROM is required :?:
Gil.

Same here, I do not have those settings, they are settings from 2002, 2003 is quiet different, has anyone got it going and how please.

Leave the DNS settings on Auto and give it a try - mine is working fine. Although I'm convinced O2 had a GPRS network problem in my neck of the woods the other week.

w00t, it works
As cliffai says remove the IP address from DNS and set it to auto detect and you connect OK. And it is way fater
Gil.

:?: go on then ppl post the setting you have for it to work, as mine still will not play ball, if i flash back to the dev1.2 its all working again but I want it working on wm2003
thanks

Please can some one help out with the settings, I can't get GPRS working at all. Can someone just do a walk through, step by step for the slower people like myself.
:roll: :wink:

gprs settings for o2 uk under ppc2003
name for connection: O2 Mobile Web
select a modem: Cellular Line (GPRS)
Access Point Name: MOBILE.O2.CO.UK
User Name: web
Password: web
DO NOT ENTER ADVANCED TAB - leave these settings at default i.e server issigned ip addresses for xda and dns servers
works fine for me.

xda-rocks, I have set mine up like that and it still dont work
if i use the se1.2 or even the 02 rom my grps work great
but if i use the wm2003 rom it dont connect etc?
which version of the rom are you using and were from?, radio version also?
thanks
mine is as follows
02 32mb xda (uk)
my location manchester, uk
Boot Loader 5.14
G325s54
R4.21.00
4.00.01
(the phone call part works fine, just no grps, gsm etc)
rom from ftp://195.64.88.44/ (from what I remeber)
or can anyone else post the same info for there rom?
maybe theres more than one version build etc???

GPRS not working
Yes I have the same problem, my phone works fine and all other functions seem fine except I have no access to the SD card, it does show up at all. I just can not get GPRS going. I noticed that when the phone is in the sync cradle and PC is connected to the internet there is no internet on the phone where as there was with PPC2002.
ANY IDEAS PLEASE..........
Note: I also downloaded from FTP: 195.64.88.44 for rom upgrade.

i can access my sd card no problem, coonect to the internet with sync, its just my gsd and gprs thats comp. dead, with this rom???
maybe you have to reformat your sd card for it to work??, and have you set you internet to use the dial up or you sync connection, i had to change my back to get it back working when i was syncing etc?

I got mine from here...
Server: ftp.zensay.com
user: qtek
passwd: qtek
When it was originally posted
Only thing I did was had to go into the bootloader screen and set the GSM back to 900 & 1800 after I had gone into the band setting screen in the 2003OS
Sorry to say setting up GPRS was a sinch,
APN name
User name
Password
thats it,
I also checked whether PAP or CHAP authentication makes a difference and it connects with either although CHAP is possibly a bit slower to connect.
Obvious question the phone is displaying the the G symbol when you tap the aerial icon? As I said I had all sorts of GPRS problems the other week which I put down to network issues as nothing else had changed - G symbol wasn't always coming on when switching on the phone - and transfering the SIM to my old T39 showed the GPRS coming and going every few minutes.

cliffai, which bootloader etc are you using, and did you upgrade yours by the programme a or sd way?
as mine is still not working looks like i am going back to the 1.2 xda rom then
ps: yes mine is always showing the G in the info etc, so i know its ment to be on gprs, but even without the G i can not even get a gsm connection also?

So SO SO simple
Yes I reformated the card on card reader on PC and yes the phone now see's the card
THANKS THANKS THANKS :lol: :lol:
Now just the GPRS to go and everthing will be trick..........

I upgraded via SD and the boot loader is 5.15

maybe that has something to do with it then, my bootloader is 5.14?, I going and getting a card reader in about a hour so i will do a sd card upgrade and let ppl know how it goes ltr
ps thanks for the file ciffai

I'm using the same roms as Grim_Evil:
G32s54
R4.21.00
4.00.01
Except I'm using Boot Loader 5.15

Cell info display on Today screen?

Hi,
I've enabled Cell Broadcast on my O2 XDA II mini (Magician) by selecting Start -> Settings -> Phone -> More -> Enable broadcasts -> Add -> Channel 50.
The messaging notifications are annoying, and I was wondering if there were any programs/scripts/XML files that can turn them in to a Today screen plugin? There is a simple way to do it with MS Smartphones (another PDA/phone running Windows Pocket PC) and know that it is possible, but can't program it myself!
Any ideas?

Hi !
Have a look >> there << (DKToday)

Merci beaucoup DocteurN
However, DKToday only displays the network you connect to, not the Cell Broadcast. This is basically the name of the radio tower for your mobile network that is closest to you.
Any ideas?

i am also very interested in this since vodafone germany shows the local area codes you get a cheaper call rate in it this way. any suggestion is welcome!
cheers, lutz

Me too! I miss this feature which was on my Nokia.

Using XDA2i as a Modem

Hi All,
been reading and searching for info but still cant find the relevant stuff..... Okay, can I connect my PC to my XDA and use the internet via GPRS? I have done this years ago using another phone but for the life of me I can't work it out :shock:
Can someone tell me the procedure for this? At the moment I surf around on the XDA but would rather just link the PC to it.
Cheers,
Gary

here's some notes i wrote myself about how to use the phone as a modem over bluetooth.
How to for bluetooth modem.
(1. Delete both blutooth profiles on the devices
2. On the pda go Start -> settings -> System -> bluetooth settings, and tick both incoming and outgoing port options.
3. Create a bluetooth connection.)
4. Go to the wireless modem on the pda, choose bluetooth in the drop down box, and click start
5. click the ariel bit, and connect to gprs
6. on the laptop double click the xdaII dial up connection, and make sure the bluetooth modem #3 is chosen
7. click dial. done!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
if you have both incoming and outgoing ports on the xda ticked, then in your bluetooth setting on the pc, you should be able to go to the bluetooth devices window, click the devices tab, select your pda, click the properties button at the bottom of the window, then in the resulting window click the services tab. make sure DUN (dial up netowrking.. i think this is one of hte options there) is ticked, and click ok. it should install a bluetooth modem driver thing in your network connections. this is the modem you use to dial out. you'll have to create your own dial up conenction using this bluetooth modem, i think it should be pretty standard, make the number to dial *99#. just incase you have problems with this modem, here's the settings of mine:
Bluetooth modem details (Standard Modem over Bluetooth link #4):
Driver tab, Driver details:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\bthmodem.sys
C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\modem.sys
Advanced tab: there are no extra initialisation commands. in the advanced port settings button it uses FIFO, the transmit and recieve are set to highest, and its set to COM12
Modem tab: speed is set to 115200
General Tab: Device Type: Modems, Manufacturer: Standard Cell Phones, Location: on Bluetooth Device (RFCOMM Prodtocol TDI)
Dial up connection details (XDAII):
Username: O2Web
password: blank (i think)
Properties button:
Advanced tab, settings button: firewall is off. ICS is unticked.
Networking tab: TCP/IP is on, QoS is on, Deterministic ntwork enhancer is on, novell client for windows is on. rest is off
Security tab: Typical (recommended settings) is chosen, in the dropdown box "allow unsecured password" is selected. everything else is not selected.
Options tab:
Display progress while connecting: on
Promopt for a name and password, certs, etc: on
Include windows logon domain: off
Prompt for phone number: on
Redail attemps: 3
Time between redial attemps: 1min
idle time before hangup: 20mins
redial line if dropped: on
General tab: Modemm - standard modem over bluetooth link #4 is the only one selected
configure button, max speed is 115200, all tick boxes are off
all devices call the same number: on
Phone number: *99#
use dialing rules: off
show icon on notification area when connected: on

Using Wi-fi - Won't find any websites.

I am having real trouble accessing any websites.
I have tried using my own wireless router (unsecured to aleviate complications). Even though there is a supremely strong signal the dialogue box pops up and "always" tells me unable to find website (or along those lines). The websites I am trying to access are very well known.
I have an SPV-M3100 (unlocked) - it runs my O2 contract sim card. All the software appears to be Orange issue. It is running WM6.
This might be a stupid question - Do I need to connect to the web using an O2 connection or can I use the Orange World one? I figured it's got to be similar to using my Virginmedia broadband connection to check my old BTYahoo emails or does it not work like that?
I am completely at a loss with PDA's.
If I need to use an O2 connection for my O2 Sim could someone please point me in the right direction for finding those settings.
Many huge thanks in anticipation.
S.

Lots of questions, lots of anwers.....
Hi,
Let me try and point you in the right direction....
I have an SPV-M3100 (unlocked) - it runs my O2 contract sim card. All the software appears to be Orange issue. It is running WM6.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Unlikely that it's got "Orange issue" software on a device that's been upgraded to WM6 - the WM6 ROMs are generic and not operator specific (unless the Orange software has been loaded from the ExtROM...possible, I guess). Check your OS version in Start | Settings | System Tab | Device Information - look at ROM version & date. Also check in Start | Settings | System Tab | About - look at the first line and the OS build no.
Next you ask about connecting to the web using O2 or Orange connection, but your post title mentions Wi-Fi
This might be a stupid question - Do I need to connect to the web using an O2 connection or can I use the Orange World one? I figured it's got to be similar to using my Virginmedia broadband connection to check my old BTYahoo emails or does it not work like that?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you're connecting to the net via Wi-Fi, then you're not using the operator's (O2) network, you're using your own broadband connection. Go to Start | Settings | Connection tab | Wi-Fi | Network adapters tab and make sure it says that the network card connects to "The Internet".
Then you ask about what connection settings you need - and yes, if you're using an O2 SIM, then you need the O2 network settings on your phone. Download them from >HERE< (The O2 UK settings at the end of the first post); copy them to your phone and tap on the file to install the settings. Then you need to power off your phone (hold the power button in until it asks you if you want to power off) and then power it on again.
Hopefully, once all of the above has been checked/completed, you should be able to access the web via Wi-Fi (when available) and via O2-GPRS when there's no Wi-Fi. You didn't say if your O2 SIM was a 3G-capable USIM, but if it is, then you'll be able to connect to the web via 3G too!
Post back with your results; I'd be interested to know if this little lot sorts the problem out for you
Cheers,
Mark.

Come here if you need to know what's what!
Those muppets in the Orange Shop - "Yeah right mate - your handset's already got WM6". You're the one that's right Mark - It's WM5.
I understand from reading around that .CAB files should be downloaded directly to you unit. When I choose <save> then select the directory it doesn't show <mobile device> or the device name.

Can anyone help please?
If you need more info just ask.

You can either copy a CAB file from your PC to your device using the "Explore" part of Activesync or download it from t'internet directly to your device. In either case, just make sure you put it somewhere you remember, coz you'll need to use File Explorer on the phone to find it again!!
If you're downloading directly to the phone, you get the option to "open file after download" - choose that and then click on "Save As"!! The "Save As" dialog has four dropdown boxes on; the first one is the file name, the second one is the folder (and contains a list of the folders in the current "location"), the third is the extension (can't change this!) and the fourth is the location - this is where you choose Main Memory, Storage Card etc. Choose the location first and the list of folders will change to show all folders in that location; choose the desired folder and hit "Save".
Once the CAB file has downloaded to the location you chose, it will open and begin installing; if you're installing - for example the O2 operator CAB - choose to install to "Device". Once installed, hold the power button to turn the device off (and save all the registry changes etc. you've just made!), then turn it on again.
That should do it!!
Mark.
