First time I have posted although I have done quite a lot of reading today ............
I have just purchased a new i-mate. Previously I have owned iPAQ 2650 and 5555. I find the i-mate to be a very promising device.
One problem has manifested itself though. My cell supplier provided me an i-mate, not an O2 XDA II, but on the O2 network. When attempting to set up the GPRS I found it a bit tough going and called O2 support which informed me that the O2 XDA II had an essintial piece of software that enabled the owner to easily configure WAP and GPRS setting. Obviously my i-mate does not have that software and we proceded to configure manually. The O2 tech said that in the future I was likely to experience trouble with GPRS as a result of not having the configuration software.
I am having trouble already today by virtue of connection trouble and a reluctance to load web pages and my AOL.
I notice that O2 has a ROM upgrade on their site. Does anyone know what the result of me upgrading my i-mate with this software will be?
Has anyone else had any similar problems?
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Wes
I have an XDAII which I have set up GPRS on both Vodafone and o2 in the UK. I have also set up an imate in the UK for Vodafone. I assume you should have no problem setting up a GPRS connection for o2. Check the forum for the GPRS settings for o2, and set up in Connections. The imate manual has instructions on how to do this. If you get stuck send a post.
Hi All,
I have an Imate Jasjam which the extended ROM has many operator setting cabs except for "3" Australia (hutchison telecom).
I know that 3 Aust sell the Dopod 838pro therefore they must have some cabs to set the device for mms, gprs umts and other services.
If anyone has the Dopod 838pro from "3" in Australia, could you please retrieve the cab files for me in your extended rom.
Its a real pain in th @ss as "3" wont help me over the phone, and thye cannot send me any settings. They were acutally surprised that the Jasjam works with their sim card, even though all hermes devices are the same. go figure.....
anyways, any help will be greatly appeciated.
Cheers,
Anyone?
Can any Dopod 838pro owners help?
Thanks
Ronny
Here is the mobile internet settings
don't have the cab but i got the settings for Three Aus
To get mobile internet
Go to settings -> Connections -> Connections
Add a new modem connection
Name the connection Three (or anything else)
Use Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G) as your modem
Access point name is "3services"
NO USERNAMES OR PASSWORDS JUST CLICK FINISH
And your internet is set up
Hope that helps
JasJam on Three
Hi All,
I am very new to this and not overly technical so firstly many thanks for the internet settings above as they worked just fine.
Secondly, would anyone have the settings to get MMS and Video etc working on a jasjam? I bought one off ebay but I am with Three network and while I can make normal calls (and now get the My3) I cannot get MMS, video calls or other 3 options working.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,

I think I might already know the answer to this, but in case it's possible I'll ask the question...
I've been looking for a way of using the BlackBerry Connect client on my T-Mobile MDA Compact II but haven't managed it yet.
I've downloaded the VPA Compact II BB client from Vodafone and, whilst it installs the Settings program correctly, I can't get it to work.
I think there should also be an option in the Today settings to add BlackBerry mail to the Today screen, but it's not there.
Also, it doesn't seem to attempt to connect to the GPRS network to configure itself with the BES.
Finally, the Desktop Manager software sees my Exchange server, but doesn't recognise that the phone is connected when you click connect.
I know that the VPA Compact II is not the same as the MDA Compact II (Charmer), but it was the closest I could get.
I don't know if this complicates things, but the company service provider is O2. I unlocked the phone and calls/GPRS work fine.
My Exchange account is configured for BB. My SIM has access to the BB APN (so I'm told) and I have a username (but nowhere to enter it, yet).
Any help would be appreciated. I have an XDAII that I could downgrade from WM5 to the pukka O2 ROM with BB Connect, but I like the Charmer.
Can anyone help, please?
You might want to get back to O2 data support and ensure that your IMEI and user account is linked to the RIM database, because i see no reason why you shouldnt be able to acess the service otherwise.

I got the following from my contact in IT when I asked if the IMEI was configured:
"When we add you to the BES we do not put in any info on the device itself, that is all registered when the device connects to the server. All you should need is blackberry access on your sim and the password that I gave you."
Well, it's not working even to the point of putting in the password (though I'm still not sure where this is required).
Any ideas?
Really not sure, anyway its something on O2's end from the looks of things...

Got it working on my XDA so I'm coming back to the Compact II now that I've proven the network, account and SIM are all good.
I'm using Cingular 8525 (unlocked) in Canada with Fido sim, where can i change the GPRS setting on the phone? i don't see any place that can change it? thanks in advance!
look what I found when I googled Fido "GPRS Settings"
http://www.dslreports.com/faq/7418
In any case, Ross Barkman's page is the best for finding your telco settings.
http://www.taniwha.org.uk/gprs.html
To change your settings you have 3 options (I've included details instructions so follow them carefully):
Option 1.
1. Go the box the phone came in
2. Pull out the little book that says user manual
3. Open the book up
4. Read it.
Option 2.
1. Scroll to the top of this page
2. Click on XDA-Wiki
3. Go the Hermes Section
4. Read it.
5. Read it again, so you understand everything not just the GPRS problem.
Option 3 (and I'm gonna hear about this from pof).
1. Click Start
2. Click Settings
3. Click Con... Argh, I can't sorry man... you're gonna have to pick 1 or 2.
Forgive me pof, I started feeling sorry for the newbie. I promise I won't do it again!
thanks! i already know what the setting is, but i'm just wondering that will Cingular allow me to change the GPRS settings?
If the phone is unlocked, there is nothing stopping you from changing anything on the phone. For all purposes Cingular is just a name written on your phone, Cingular the company has nothing to do with you anymore unless you have a cingular SIM in your phone.
Thanks for replied, the problme is, the Cingular stock rom doesn't have any icon that let me to change the GPRS setting! there should be a "Network Wizard" on Setting-->Connection , but there is non! when i click on GPRS setting, it only allowing me choose either "PAP authentication" or "CHAP authentication" . i have been playing the GPRS setting for a long time, but didn't get anyting, so should i flash to other rom? thanks in advance!
We are having the same problem
I have an 8125 running with a Movistar Mexico SIM and last Sunday I got its replacement: an 8525, I spent most of the Sunday (and the several days before) reading threads and doing all procedures to unlock it until I succeeded, so now I have an 8525 unlocked supre CID and all that ... "running" with the same SIM and same GPRS set up but I haven´t been able to navigate internet on GPRS (stalls in the "opening" status), I installed spb GPRS Monitor and the traffic is zero Kb on all tries that I´ve made to connect to the internet. I set also my Gmail account which is set up to retreive amails every 15min and although generates GPRS traffic the behavior is totally different as in my 8125. About MS Messenger and Hotmail the GPRS connection hasn´t been imposible. I´m a newbie I know it!! But you expert guys should help us at least with comments, I agree that some people make repeated questions because they don´t want to read, this is not our case, I´ve read a lot and I´m sure eeric di´d it too. PLEASE HELP....
Use this as a guide to putting in GPRS and MMS settings.

Substitute the settings for your network.

Thank you Bny! I do know how to make it and also set the proper strings in my case APN would be internet.movistar.mx and the user name & paswrord is movistar. That´s not really the problem, in fact I do know that I have a connection to my network, the problem is that something happen 8525 than doesn´t allow me to route my connections thru other routes but the one that Cingular has a preset. I really don´t know if is it the Ext ROM, my SIM card (not a 3G card) or the network itself since is not a 3G network !!!?
have any of you guys considered doing a hard reset and then soft reset before the 3 second customization? that way none of the cingular stuff gets installed?!?

I suppose there could be a number of reasons for this. But here is a consideration from my experience albeit on a different network. I entered all the details for my O2 connection as published on several different internet sites. Initially I could not get beyond "connecting" but found a minor error in what I had entered. Now I got as far as "Opening" but never actually open a site. I gave up but happened across a website that suggested that if you get that far i.e. "to opening" then perhaps the only fault would be the port number in proxy settings for HTTP. I checked and it was correctly set to "80". I did searches on the internet and found one that suggested port "8080" and it worked straight away. I only suggest that you check the port number and whether there are alternatives if you are getting as far as "opening".

Do you have Start>setings>connections>connections
Note two "connections" and if you do you get a page titled connections and Two headings 1. My ISP and 2. My Work Network

Thanks Mike and shogunmark! I´ll try the trick to avoid the customisation from Cingular; as far the port setting that´s a good point, however my screen for connection settings only shows 2 tabs: 1)Tasks and 2) Advanced, the 3rd tab (Proxy) that is present in my 8125 is missing in my 8525. Any ideas to make it appear or change the port? Thanks again you guys!
I did it, but it did not work.....
I just tried but it didn´t work either.... let´s see what´s next. Thank You!

I did what shogunmark suggested and it didn´t work either, I´m wondering waht would be the correct proxy server configuration, besides the port number I really don´t know the type of connection (http, wap, sec wap or scocks 4/5), neither the server name
I made the connection
I allways had the right "parameters" to set a proper connection, but I realized that the connection speed is extremely slow (5 Kbps at the most). I open another thread related to the use of a G3 device with a non G3 SIM / network. Thank you all for your help.

If you manage to make progress in improving connection speed, it would be useful to post a solution on this thread. Hope you succeed.

i got a o2 trion and but never configure it to use internet on t-mobile i call t-moble they dont know how either i dont know they lies or not but anyone out there know hwo to configure it for use with t-mobile??
I don't know if you will find the answer here, but this is the site I go to with any kind of connection problem:
http://www.filesaveas.com/windowsmobileconnect.html
They have info on wifi connection, gprs connection and wap connection.
This may help, or o2 have:
http://www.o2.co.uk/assets/O2HybridNav/Static-files/PDFs/Pocket PC manual set up instructions.pdf
good luck
In addition to the "How tos" in the above links see here:
http://support.t-mobile.com/knowbase/root/public/tm21625.htm
It is of course nonsense that t-mobile do not know the settings - only they give minimal or non-existant help for phones not sold thru them.
