Many thanx to the people who use this forum, and who have took the time out to post their findings, for help getting me connected to the internet with my XDA, when even my service provider said it was impossible (o2uk). The only other problem now is, i now pay for my internet usage, whereas up until a few weeks ago whilst using my p900 and Moto a925, it was free. i have my port set to 8080 and followed instructions to the letter. Could anyone give any advice as what to do or try? :lol: for getting connected, for having to pay

I have an XDA 1 and have been trying to connect to the Internet with various SIMS.
I notice that when I insert a password, or in some mobile providers cases, leave it blank, the password box is filled with asterisks. Is this causing the problem of not being able to connect?
How do I get the asterisks to disappear if they are causing the problem?
Gill, don't get excited about this reply as I can't help with your query!
I just wanted to ask you if you have found a solution for connecting to the internet using the XDA1?
I have an XDA1 on pay as you go with O2, I don't subscribe to the GPRS service but have read somewhere here that it might be possible to connect to the internet for nowt! It's ths nowt that I like.
If you do find a solution, I'd be grateful if you could share it.
Regards
John
Hi John
I have not found a way to connect to the Internet yet with the XDA 1 and O2 pay as you go. It's very annoying. I have managed to get some sort of WAP site but it's from 2003. It is using up money fromy my O2 card although I apparently get 1MB free of GPRS. I certainly have not browsed through 1MB of web pages.
I also have not heard of the NOWT thing - pity - I hope I find it as it sounds good to me.
If I do find a solution, I shall probably collapse in shock and won't be able to use my XDA! Only joking - I shall let you know!
I now you can browse the Internet on the XDA 1 as I have seen it done today with Virgin Mobile Pay as you go!

XDA 1 SOFTWARE
I have posted many messages this week regarding O2 and conncting to the Internet with an XDA 1 and a Pay as you go O2 SIM.
I have mentioned that, when I do connect, it connects to an out of date service from 2003. I wonder if the software on the XDA 1 needs upgrading in order for me to connect to the Internet?
Can anybody help?
Thank you.
Thanks for the reply Gill
I'm sure we'll find a way with all the help available on here. I know I've seen the details posted somewhere but didn't make a note!!
Have fun
John
I can get full internet access with the xda 1 and a payg sim on O2. Please message me as I dont wish O2 to slam the door on this.
Hi all,
I've spent the last 3 weeks searching through everything so as not to waste anyones time with a simple question but to no avail.
I've been given an XDA II from a family member as they have upgraded to the Exec and I have been using it as a PDA only. Well I see that Orange have some good deals on the go and so decide to use it as a phone/Internet enabled PDA.
I've unlocked it (many times now) got 2003SE on it and have put the correct MMS and GPRS settings in (The ones from Shadamehr). I've checked with Orange and GPRS is enabled on my account with them (PAYG at the mo) but for some reason the same thing that was happening when I first got it pops up
"Cannot connect
There is no modem at the above number..."
So best my small mind can figure is that somehow the 'phone part' of the PDA isn't working. I've tried other sims in it and they don't work either (o2 and Three - but I think Three is funny anyways). Is there something wrong with the actual phone bit?
It's a legit XDA with the M1000 ROM upgrade from the orange site which has made it 2003SE
Does anyone have any knowledge about how I can get my PDA to be a phone? It was once before (but with O2)
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

No modem at above number
Thanks for the link, but believe me I've tried this. I retried it to be sure just now.
"No modem at above number" is what I get after the XDA II tries to connect.
I have no phone reception whatsoever, no internet and no SMS.
My XDA II just works as a PDA with no communication possiblities apart from USB cradle.
Again, thanks in advance for any and all help with this.

If there's no phone reception, and no GPRS, how do you expect to connect to one?
Not to be mean or anything, but aren't your hopes of connecting a little farfetched if all the systems you're trying to use are down?

Your not being mean, believe me after a month of searching through here and SPV developers anything that wuld resolve this issue would be appreciated.
Why would the phone element of my XDA just stop working? I can only imagine some sort of Hardware fault but I'm a thorough bunny and would like to make sure of this. A diagnostic app or some way of reading the phone element like a device driver would be handy.
So in brief, why has my phone part of my XDA II stopped working and how do I switch it back on again (if this is at all possible)?
Thank you for your replies thusfar Cynagen, I shall start to ask these questions in the Himalaya forum also now since it seems model specific and not network related.
Any and all further assistance is much appreciated.

Got myself an HTC Tytn a couple of days ago, found some config stuff on the internet, could connect with a big fat U at the top, but for the whole day now won't connect. Could someone share their T-mobile settings with me? I use a PAYG sim that has a £1 a day internet access, are the settings the same for payg as contract? Thanks in advance..
Re: t-Mobile UK GPRS/3G Settings same as Universals?

I've got a T-mobile VarioII but I know that there are some minor but significant differences between the 2 setups. Why not search on the 'Universal' forum for 'T-mobile Pay-s-u-go' settings which would include everything you need as the Universal is 3G also? Just a thought. Good luck.
good advice, thanks

I got a pay as you go sim from t-mobile last monday and it worked fine till early wednesday morning when it stopped working mid way through checking posts on here. Has not worked since and customer service have been unable to tell me why. It will not work in my web n walk pro data card either. I'm still trying to find out what's going on.
I will check on the settings but I've only found reference to the same connection settings.
My settings are...
APN: general.t-mobile.uk
User: user
Password: wap
Never needed anything else, no ports or proxys etc, just the above. Used them in my universal, wizard and no my tytn
For official t-mobile settings and setup guide see ...
http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/pmsettings
Hope this helps.
T-Mobile Wap, MMS and E-mail settings
or go straight to here:

Re: T-Mobile Wap, MMS and E-mail settings
Got it sorted!
Username should be: t-mobile
Password should be: tm
Payg sim started working straight away.
Also improves the times when the connection hangs on my data card as well.

I still can't connect (although it wasn't a problem a couple of days ago) I just get the following:
Connecting...
Locating...
Then it just hangs there. Anyone got any other ideas?

Mine can do this for upto a minute on each new connection. Once it eventually works mine will be fine for the remaining time of the connection.
Sean make sure you are using
general.t-mobile.uk NOT general.t-mobile.co.uk
The user and password I am using after converting my Orange 3100 is t-mobile and password.
Works fine for me.
Thanks Quilty, changing my password did the trick!
hi all, im new to the site and to my wizard (got it last month). I bought it from a friend of mine who hasnt paid his bill in a while....well, i stuck my prepaid sim in it and... well to my amazment i got full blown internet for free (using it to make this post)... not to mention use it as a (albiet slow) modem for my pc......hmm.
so, found this website, overclocked my wizard (thanks to omapclock/plus) among other stuff and then looked for a post about this but found old stuff from 2004 so I was just wondering if this was common knowledge or am i the first person with a p/p wizard.
ps. i love this phone
kiss my @$$ razr
are you sure, you are not connected to WLAN?
I have a Wizzard (k-Jam) on Prepaid and I do not get free internet, that has nothing to do with the phone, its purely to do with your network provider, and good luck finding cheap, let alone free, gprs in australia
I got my T-mobile MDA sometimes last year... cancelled my t-mobile contract n got a prepaid SIMcard(T-mobile)... hadn't put a penny(re-fill) since Oct. 2006 n data works just fine(EDGE), i was surprised... I really feel sorry for T-Mobile, only if they knew :-D. I connect my Pc too using my Wizard (Internet Share)... can't remember last time i used WIFI coz all the hotspot connections are locked/secured where i live, had to go for walk to get the unlocked ones :-D.... Oh and there was a time i could send text too on my phone when my prepaid SIMcard was out of funds, i had to resend texts 6 times though blah blah blah... Anyway, i feel really sorry for those people with Data plan on their phone ... (T-Mobile Data plan $29.99)Ouchhh. And i hear some other wireless networks charge more, so sad.
First to post i think
i posted this on Jan 5, i also tought that i was the first to notice but someone in Howardforums posted this in there. i think i posted this first and then two other people too and welcome to the forums but i posted this in the general forums not in the wizard forums
U might be the first one to posted it... but other people have figured it out way long before u posted it... :-D. Personally i've been using the free internet since Oct. last year.
wow!!! can someone PM me the details on how to get the free internet. I reside in canada as well.
Frankly, i find this very hard to believe, but still i think it's caused by the bad management of the network.
This happened to me few months ago :
Me: Hello, i would like to activate the 12MB/month data plan
Provider: Of course, please tell me what phone you're using
Me: (After half an hour trying to explain that i don't have a Nokia)It's a PDA, manufactered by HTC.
Provider: Let me check....music for 30sec-1min...I checked and it seems that your device is not compatible with our services.
Me: Ha ? That is not possible, please tell me the settings (apn and such) so i can connect to the internet.
Provider: What nokia model you said you have ?
Me:(already tearing my hear) What devices you know that they are compatible ?
Provider: SonyErricsson...nokia....so on
Me: Well, i have a...ehm..Sony.(one that she said it's working...yeah it was a she)
Provider: Ok, i will send you the settings on mail.
Bottom line :
All the darn settings i waited over an hour for were these :
apn=internet
i wouldn't overclock over 260 btw. but if no problems good for you. some have messed up there phone that way. all white screen, lines, reboots. gl
im trying to get blackberry connect to work on a cingular 8525 which currently has the stock 1.34.502.1. I installed blackberry connect (which i found on this forum), however, it keeps saying service:stopped and PIN: Pending. I have seen these errors in a few searches on this forum, so im thinking its the rom? ive found the rom RUU_HER_CINGULAR_2.06.502.3_1.34.00.10_SPL1.04, will that work with blackberry connect? Or could it be a problem with the plan? The plan on this device has the $30 blackberry service. The phone before the 8525 being used on this account was a blackberry which worked perfect with push email.
ps, ide like to appologize, i know there is lots of information on this topic and normally i would search and find all my own answers, however, i am home from school and my friend got an 8525 and desperatly needs to get blackberry connect working, however, i have to go home tonight. thats why im posting for a quick answer, since there is so much to search through and read.
Thanks in advance
