T Mobile UK GPRS Settings

T Mobile are a bunch a t******.
I asked them if they could provide me with the GPRS setting so that I could use it with my XDA - their response 'we dont support that phone'.
OK I said just give me the settings and I'll set it up - their response 'we dont support that phone'.
So I say, lets pretend I've got a Nokia give me the settings and I'll sort it out - their response 'Nokia settings are totally different to XDA so we cant give you those settings'
Finally I say, lets pretend I've got a non competitor product (Siemens SX45, HP Jornada 928, Palm Tungsten W....anything) JUST GIVE ME THE SETTINGS - their reponse - THEY PUT THE PHONE DOWN!!
So my questions is does anyone have the settings so that I can start using GRPS on my XDA.
Thanks

Hi,
I'm in excatly the same position as you. Also have an unlocked XDA on t-Mobile. Took me ages to get the settings out of them ( they are a bunch of mentally handicapped people at the best of times...)
Bad part for me is..even with these settings...it takes a while to connect...and sometimes it does not connect at all...Your luck my vary ( please let me know if you have any success)
1.Under connections, create a new connection and choose "Cellular Line (GPRS) " modem as the modem type.
2.Leave everything else on defaults.
3.When it asks you for an access point, type "general.t-mobile.uk" ( it is not a spelling mistake it is .uk and not .co.uk)
4. Click finish
5. Under GPRS Authentication choose "CHAP"
6. Under CSD Line type choose "Analogue"
7. Make sure that when you dial that the GPRS connection number is +0~GPRS!general.t-mobile.uk -> set the area code and country code both to 0.
8. Make sure that there is a "G" next to the operator name ( when you click on the signal strength box). If you don't have this..t-mobile has not switched on your GPRS account. Call them and ask them to enable "GPRS Data" for your account. Not WAP, MMS or something else but "GPRS Data" (they are clueless)
9. If you still have problems...call tmobile support..but instead of talking to them..ask to speak to the data support team. ( these guys actually know a bit more...but not much...- at least they know what data GPRS is)
All in all I spoke to a guy a carphonewarehouse...and he has tried t-mobile, vodafone, orange and o2. He told me that all of these services only offer gprs at 9600 except for orange ( which he seemed to like ), that offer gprs at 19200 and that they are pretty clued up.
Anyway..hope it helps.

Thanks for your reply. I'll try this out and let you know how I get on.
Incidentally when I was on the phone to them they said that they dont support any PDA's and have no instructions - I've checked, its on their website!!
I also mentioned to them that this exact same phone is available in USA, Germany, Austria, Poland and Czech Republic under the name MDA.
Thinking about it, maybe I ought to be working for T Mobile, because I sure as hell know a lot more than their 'call centre staff'

network log on
Thanks for the post Milmber. I followed your instructions and when i try to use GPRS I get a message saying
Network Log on
Resources T-Mobile
Then it asks for user name, password, domain.
Any idea what this should be or have I done something wrong
Thanks in advance
Primed

Hi,
Sorry...forget to add the username and password...could have sworn I put it in ;-)
Well anyway, when you get prompted add only a username and password:
Username is "user"
Password is "one2one"
Let me know how you manage....

...btwI left the domain setting empty...but your milage my vary...

Hi Prime,
Just to let you know...tried the GPRS again today ( with the settings I gave you above...) and the GPRS seems to be working fine.
I'm starting to wonder if it has something to do with the T-Mobile signal strength..since this works for me here at work...but not at home....

Hi Milmber
I found a website that gives the lastest settings and it states that the settings are:
'user'
't-mobile'
This seems to work as well.
If you want the email address, let me know.
Primed

Hi Prime,
if you could post/email me the address of the settings page you found that would be much appreciated!

I have got on to the pocket pc style internet, but there is no g on the top of the screen. Does this mean I am being charged by the minute?

WAP Broswer

I know PPC2003 IE support WAP.
But my phone provider Ireland Vodafone has a WAP system called Vodafone live!
I cannot configure IE to use this as it has it's own GPRS and GSM connection profile and Access Point and Proxy. So I want to get a WAP Browser for the XDAII that I can configure to use the WAP settings from Vodafone and the IE can be left for ISP settings and general browsing.
Anyone any suggestions?

Try NetFront browser
http://www.handango.com/PlatformPro...yWords=netfront&catalog=30&txtSearch=netfront

I use the O2active portal and that is something similar to Vodafone Live.
I do have german OS, so my tranlations might not be totally correct.
goto settings -> connections -> connections -> company networks (in german Firmennetzwerke) the last entry.
Here you find the WAP network.
Under "Modem" you can set up the acces point, under proxysettings the proxy, just get your vodfone live stuff from their website or extract it from a mobile. This sould work.
No need for extra cash ;-)
Alex

I am with Vodafone.
I got the XDAII as a Sim Free Phone from O2.
I have removed the extended ROM stuff and set it up for Vodafone.
I have everything working, GPRS & CSD Internet Access. E-Mail, MMS all with Vodafone.
I have setup the connection for the WAP ie. Vodafone live!
All I can enter is the APN "live.vodafone.com" and username and password. BUT I still need to enter the gateway address ie. 10.24.59.100 and the homepage " http://live.vodafone.com".
So where do I enter the gateway if I want to use IE for the WAP browser, and I assume the homepage is not a Proxy address, it's what I enter into the IE address bar to get the wap site???
Anyone,
Thanks again for the info.

under "again-the-stuff-before" where is written proxy-settings, check "use a proxy" (again, mine is german)
under extended you can set the ip address for WAP and WAP secure.
The start-homepage you simple set under IE (just as you would it in Windows)
good luck

This is not a problem due to connexion, GPRS, GSM wap or anything.
for vodafone live, as for Orange world and others, the do watch for the user agent of your device to select the type of page to display.
Every operator has a pool of mobile devices and unfortunately i guss the XDA2 does not belong to this pool.
Here in france it had just been added a couples of days ago because they are now selling it as SPV1000 on the orangeworld contract.
So even if you use a wap browser like ezwap or another, the problem will still remain, the user agent of your devices will not be recognize by the vodafone live wap proxy.

in germany they start selling the XDA2/MDA2 also now from vodafone...
anyway... if you ever had a customized vodafone-firmware on your phone you'll hate vodefone for ever ;-)

Maybe try to begin the URL with wsp:// instead of http:// ...

AT&T WAP Settings in US?
Can anyone tell me how to set up my XDA II WAP for AT&T in the US?
Thanks

Qtek 9000 + Vodafone SE

Is it possible to surf the Vodafone Live with the phone? Can any swedish dudes confirm that?

Sorry, cannot use live.vodafone.com it seams. All I get is a white screen with text live.vodafone.com when I go there with IE.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=29595
can you try to do that?

For voda in UK (maybe same for other countries), there are 2 connections required - one for internet, and one for wap. You need the connection details for both (set wap as the default work connection and internet as ISP)
the url for live is not http://live.vodafone.com, it is wsp://live.vodafone.com

I think you ned to do as the url i posted last post. Modifie so my phone looks like for an example a vodafone live branded phone like SE V600 or any other 3G phones.

One thing i missed, you need the proxy infor for the WAP connection, and this is the connection to use for wsp://live.vodafone.com

And then i should come in on VF Live?.... Recieved the phone a few minutes ago, need to fix some utils i need on it first.

You will be able to browse the LIve! page, BUT, streamin g TV is a bit of a problem ATM :/

Sorry, been away.
I've tried setting up wap-proxy, but no success. Also tried user-agent spoofing, but I can't get it to work (I've verified correctly modified user-agent with other sites). When I browse to live.vodafone.com (http or wsp) I ony get a white page with black text "live.vodafone.com". I suspect this is the "catch-all" page where something is wrong with originating-ip or browser-tag. Please post if you find a way. Live TV would be nice.

v1605 does it support vodafone live?

Does the v1605 (tytn) support vodafone live
various operators at vodafone say it does while a couple of others there says it does not.
Has anyone got a v1605 and accessed vodafone live at all?

yes, it does. Just point your browser to wsp://live.vodafone.com

Vodafone live
I dont think it works tried it with that address.

Ive tried it on my v1605 and although I can browse the rest of the net for some reason the vodafone live site stays blank. Cant figure it it out and nobody seems to have the answer for it.

I don't know about UK, but in Spain you need two separate connections. One for data (no proxy server, gives u public IP address) and another one for VF Live, which uses an HTTP proxy server and gives u a private address behind a NAT. The VF Live address above only works if you are behind the proxy.
Here you can see some screenshots of the configuration if you scroll down.

Even connecting with the WAP settings, and changing the agent identiy in the registry to look like a Nokia6630, I just get text menus with no graphics. This also means I'm unable to connect to mobile TV.
Has anyone managed to get further than this on the hermes?
Cheers
Si

I spoke to a cust svce rep on Friday. Athough she was quite helpful, she had no knowledge about this handset and had to speak to a colleague in technical.
Anyway, it turns out that Live! is NOT supported on this handset, meaning that Mobile TV will not work at all.
I'm not happy, as one of the main reasons I moved to VF for for the TV...

Not supported does not necessarily mean we cannot get it working... Some people on the forums here have had some success on the jasjar - don't give up hope just yet

I cannot do it works. The other problem is that your configuration "kill" my device connecting my corporate exchange, that use a VPN.

Vodafone GPRS Settings?????

Assistants required!!
I have attempted to set up GPRS on my M600 (Unlocked for Vodafone sim)
GPRS has been enabled as I have the G icon up!
I have been on the vodafone website and tried there settings with no luck!
I have been on the Filesaveas website and plugged in all of those settings with NO luck, Have also installed the I-mate .cab again with no luck!!!
I am starting to go insane spent three days trying all different settings and No luck at all!!!!
You name the website and I think Ihave probably tried it.
Does anyone have any useful advise for me, provide me with some form of sanity check!!!!
Ideally I wold love a .cab file to install!
But would like feedback from anyone else in a similar position, on how they resolved this some what annoying issue!!!!
regards
Wilko_007

I set up my Vario II for Vodafone with no problem. These settings (*.pdf file) seem to be the same as the ones I used, see how they compare with the settings you are using.

Many thanks I will give it a go!

Ok have now got connection but I can't surf?
I have seen comments about GPRS beening fully enabled?
Are there 2 forms of GPRS that can be enabled? WAP & WEB???
Do I need to worry about the Dialing Rules???
Thanks in advance for your assistance!!

Could you be a little more specific i.e. does it come up with a pop-up box stating that it is connecting to GPRS? If yes, which connection does it say it is connecting to, is it the correct one (i.e. the new GPRS settings that you have just keyed in)? When you say it won't surf, what do you mean exactly ... are you using Pocket IE and does it come up with any error messages etc...

Connection via GPRS No probs I then get the Small G and the two arrows fixed on the bar.
Enter IE and type google for example.
get the status bar flash up breifly and then disapear, with no change to the original Orange World Home page!!!
No errors what so ever????

okay ... the next thing I would probably do then is download an alternative browser to see if it still happens in a different browser. Netfront is pretty good. At least that way you should be able to establish if it is a GPRS problem or a browser problem.

Ok I now have installed Netfront and connected to the GPRS!
typed in www.google.com
I have a warning screen:
Browser Warning
Cannot load Page
Type: DNS no server is specified
?????

Okay .. I am running out of ideas now, it does sound like your GPRS Settings are still wrong.
Click 'start menu', 'settings' and go to the 'Connections' tab. Now click 'Connections', then the 'Advanced' tab then 'Select Networks'. The first box (ie. Programs that connect to the Internet automatically) should say 'My Isp' and if you click 'Edit', it should show you 'Vodafone Internet' is selected.
If you then select to edit that, you should see in this order 'Vodafone Internet' and then it should show modem type as GPRS, next page should show Access Point Name of 'Internet', next page should show User name 'Web' ... password is the same, domain field should be blank ... nothing needs to be done in the advanced tab because the default of 'Use-server-assigned IP address' should automatically be selected, same for the server tab too, default should be server-assigned.
These are the settings that work fine on both my XDA Mini S and my MDA Vario II.

Right I have checked both ISP and MyWork Network, all correct!
The only thing I can see is that the password box has loads of characters (*'s) instead of just 3 *'s for WEB (***)
But every thing else is as the PDF??
Stumped!!!!

you can try messing with the newly released ms network tools there is a link in development forum
or you can try manualy typing in a know dns server in the settings
unless the gprs dont route the request
any dsn server ip will do
same as pc's really

I am afraid I don't know then ... we have reached the level of my knowledge (which isn't high )
Perhaps somebody with a little more technical knowhow on GPRS issues may be able to help you.
Sorry I couldn't get it sorted for you.

Thanks for your help a least I can connect now!!
Thank you again!!

anyone heard of the connection No. being *99#?
Vodafone instructed me to put that in the setup?
I guess that goes in under the " My Work Network" Vodafone Wap - Number?
This is now becoming a huge headache anyone got any ideas?

not sure how vodaphone handle it but i never heard about
ppl having to add numbers when they picked gprs as connection
belived that was only if you connected around grps

I'm expericening a similar problem.
My phone was sold as an O2 XDA Mini S. My O2 contract/account doesn't allow GPRS (they want me to upgrade) so I tried my Vodafone PAYG SIM and it works without having to have the phone unlocked in any way. By that I mean I can use voice calls and using the settings I've found through this site I can send MMS messages via GPRS but I cannot connect to the internet. I've checked with Vodafone and the account will allow internet and GPRS etc.
The only thing that I can see that is wrong is the password. Whenever I type "web" then finish, it always defaults back to a string of 16 ***'s when I re-check the settings.
I've even done a hard reset and used the corporate install to no avail. I don't want to run any sort of unlocking software if I don't need to as I don't want to create a very expensive door stop.
Any ideas?

The string of asterisks is normal, I think it is just a method used by Windows to make the password more difficult for someone to guess i.e. by disguising not only the characters but also the number of characters.
I just double checked and my fully working settings also show a row of asterisks despite it being a 3 character password.

Thanks Nicky
I'll keep plodding away with this but hopefully someone might steer me in the right direction soon.
