I've read a few posts recently about Orange over charging for GPRS use and wondered if anyone knew of a free timer I could install to check up on them?
NOT JGUI though plesae

I have gotten a XDAII and have it setup and working, however the gprs only connects when needed and won't stay permantley on. Has anyone else found this to be true, or is there a way to make it stay connected?
you have an o2 XDA II or an Imate or a MDA II?

I dont have any other known answer to that to fix it but there's a program on PocketGear.com called GPRS Keep Alive. $2.45 to buy it and there's a trial too so give it a try.
Her's the link incase you want it:

But if you guys have alternate fix let us know, pls.
Here's a solution I've done to my XDA II with T-Mobile GPRS problem. I don't know who came up with this solution, but thanks to my friend who suggested this at PDAMobiz.com.
1. After a hardreset and completing the initial screen alignment, interrupt the auto-installation process by softreset your XDA II (you have 3 seconds before the files in Extended_ROM will automatically install).
2. Make your Extended_ROM viewable, whether by using the Extended ROM Viewer from http://www.ppcw.net or Extended ROM Switcher (sorry I forgot the link).
3. Now, install each cab files, except TMD_AP_NL.sa.CAB. In fact, I also disregarded, Caller ID, and some other TMD stuff.
As a result, the GPRS is now always-on as it should be.
Cheers,
Hi guys. Here's something that has been bothering me all weekend and i hope you can help.
In my XDA II i have an O2 genie sim but for some reason i can't get it to connect up to GPRS - but never mind because I have an SE P900 with a Contract Orange sim that has GPRS bundle
So what i want to happen is the XDA II to connect to the P900 via bluetooth and use the P900s GPRS connection.
Is it possible?
Cheers

i would suppose so at least thats the way normal pda's get online
there are tons of guides how to get this don
if you search on google
All of a sudden, my GPRS wont connect now. I get the message "the answering modem has disconnected".
I haven't changed any settings, so wondering if anyone else is having the same trouble? Maybe it's a network thing. If not, could someone post their settings please so I can check them. (for O2 UK)
Cheers
^ bump
At least ONE of you must be on O2? Since the phone is EXCLUSIVE to O2 :lol:
I've recently had a similar problem myself and today have used the settings here which seem to work

I got it working. I changed it to Class 10 instead of Class 8, which did the job. Dunno why it stopped working in the first place though.
I've got another problem now. MMS doesn't work. It won't let me send, and when I receive I get a web link rather than the actual message. What am I doing wrong? A couple of years ago I heard there was a problem with O2 Online contracts which meant you could only use either GRPS internet OR MMS, but not both. Is this what I'm encountering?
I think that normally happens when you can't recv mms messages because gprs and mms aren't available on an account at the same time. The new MobileWeb service does support both - but you have to ring to activate it.

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?

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.!
Is it just me
it looks like the SBH GPRS monitor program was not included in the ORANGE M5000 even though the manual makes references to it.
Anyone noticed this yet :?:
yeah same here it's not on my m5000 but as you said it is referenced in the manual!
Is it on the companion CD? It wasn't supplied pre-loaded with my Exec. I had to install it.
i checked my cd its not on there either, i have the m5000 (love the phone) but the software was not anywere to be found :?: :?: :?:
Orange SPV m500 GPRS monitor missing
Hi there,
I have an Orange SPV m500 (not m5000) which came with GPRS monitor installed and working well, with battery monitor, brightness setting, etc., but after installing software like SBP Pocket Plus, FlashDash and others, then removing them due to lack of memory, somehow GPRS monitor has disappeared. It still appears in the 'Programs' menu, but with a blank icon that, when selected, shows the error message:
'Cannot find GPRSmonitor.exe (or one of its components). Make sure the path and filename are correct and all the required libraries are available.'
Anyone have any idea how I can restore the GPRS monitor back to the Today screen?
