Hi,
in Germany we have an O2 WAP-Flatrate that does require the use of a specific APN/Gateway. However, a lot of pages (including the O2 Active Pages quoted in SMS-eMail notification) come with http prefix which makes the Internet Explorer wanting to open the Internet GPRS instead of the WAP GPRS connection. Even the documentation of O2 refers often enough to http:// instead of wsp:// pages.
Now the question: How can I make the Internet Explorer coming with the XDA 2 to use the WAP settings including the proxy and port (actually it should be gateway rather, but the XDA 2 only allows you to set ports) set for the WAP-connection (in a way that works).
Can I trick it to open "http://" sites? Maybe with some registry tweaks?
I can change the network that is used to connect to the internet to the WAP network(where I can set a proxy), but that does not seem to work. On SE P800 I can even display proper websites with the same settings.
Any ideas how to unlock this?
Regards,
Hi all,
I have a XDA 2 which works almost perfectly, the gprs settings connect me to the internet and ms messener. I have a small piece of vpn softwate that allows me to connect to my work network and use the intranet there using netfront/pie. I have an IM application that resorts to using the default network option (i think) when the application is started it disconnect gprs and my work vpn and then attempts to connect using the MMS O2 gprs setting and no amount of fiddling with the xda 2 can fix this, my IM app does not have a select adapter option.
Does anyone know where this is stored so that it can be deleted completely? I have found the settings in mms composer but I am unable to delete it?
It does nto show up in the standard network settings either.
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks andi
I'm using an XDA2 with the latest public ROM version from O2.
I have three GPRS connections that I use - the Internet, a work VPN, and WAP.
For day to day work I tend to use just the Internet and work VPN. Sometimes, however, I also use WAP.
Is there an easy way of connecting to WAP WITHOUT having to go into the connection manager and change my Internet settings from the Internet connection to the WAP connection?
Or, is there a better Connection Manager out there that can handle more than 2 connections?
Or, finally, is there a way to detect that a WAP connection is needed, and connect as required?
An alternative would be a program that allows you to, with the click of a button, select the two connections that you want to use (i.e. profile 1 is VPN and WAP and profile 2 is VPN and Internet).
Thanks!
I have exactly the same problem.
Too many operations to change the connection!!!
Someone any ideas?
Same here .. Having the same issue ..
It is inefficient to change the connection through Conn Manager ..
Perhaps can we do it through registry change? i.e. create several registry files, and just click the one we need when we want to connect to certain profile ..
Tried to look through the registry setting for Conn Manager, but it is confusing, they are using so many {436EF144- ....}, {18AD9FBD- ..} thingy
Maybe some expert can help here?
Thanks

I was wondering the same thing!
I hate to say it, but the iPhone does wifi much simpler than Windows Mobile -- just flick a software switch and you're on, no changing settings, and no changing back when you go offline.
It's over 10 taps in Windows Mobile to do the same thing! I know there just HAS to be a simpler way to do this!
you can make you life a easier if you create a shortcut of the remnet.exe (inside the windows directory) to the start menu folder
rename "shortcut to remnet" to "connections"
Hello,
i've been searching around the web for a definitive explanation of the communication settings (Wep, Wap, GPRS, Internet, ISP, Wlan, etc.) in WM2006.
I can usually fiddle my way through setting something up, that seems to work...but i never know exactly why or what i did!
Now that i've got the HTC tytnII with built in Wlan this has become even more complicated.
For example, sometimes when i have an active Wlan connection and am surfing the internet, the phone connection pops up and asks me to connect via GPRS (Wap or Wep).
This is something that i've been confused about for some time anyway: how doese the unit know which way it should connect to the internet when i start an application?
IN any case, i've now been searching for a definitive explanation of the various settings contained in WM6.
Is there somewhere a good explanation of how it all works, so that i can understand the various settings?
Thanks in advance for any help....

Same here, I'd also like to know the difference.
For example, right now I seem to be able to configure a specific network connection to use for my Gmail synchronization. However, this ranges from 'The Internet' to 'My Internet', and just don't forget 'Work'.
Having a more profound understanding of these 'networks' and how to properly configure them is vital in this day where devices can also connect to the net using USB/ActiveSync and Wifi.
Does anyone know how I can access the Virgin Mobile Bites wap service on my MDA Compact/Imate JAM?
If I navigate to http://www.virgin.com/mobile/wap or even http://www.virginmobile.com/mobile/wap/sso/bites I do not get the WAP style web pages but the plain web pages you get if accessing from a normal PC
It cannot be a device issue as if I access the BBC site as http://www.bbc.co.uk/mobile I get the WAP style BACK and OPTIONS buttons correctly as opposed to going to http://www.bbc.co.uk directly
I have tried getting help from Virgin Mobile themselves and just hit a clueless wall each time, surely other people are using Imate JAMs on their network where accessing Bites over GPRS will cost just a 30p flat rate as opposed to accessing other websites over GPRS
Yes I know it's an ancient thread, but hopefully this will help someone else in a similar situation.
To begin with you will need to set up a GPRS modem connection.
in Settings/Connections you must add a 'new modem connection', I named mine 'Virgin Mobile', just for convenience, in 'select a modem' choose 'Cellular Line (GPRS). click 'Next'
then in 'Access Point Name' type 'goto.virginmedia.uk'. click 'Next'
'User name' is 'user'. click 'Finish'.
That sets up a GPRS connection for Virgin Mobile.
Now disconnect any other wireless data connection in Wireless Manager, and connect to your Virgin Mobile connection on GPRS.
Open your web browser and navigate to http://www.virgin.com/mobile/wap
That's it, or at least that works for me on an HTC Alpine using Opera 8.65.
On a similar subject, anyone know how to change the Operator string when using the phone? I know Virgin Mobile uses the T-Mobile network, but I'd like to change it....

That seems to be handset dependent, my Trinity correctly reported Virgon whereas my Alpine reported T-Mobile, it also affects ordinary non Virgin phones as well.
Any way the solution can be found here, Personaliser
Hi All,
I've googled extensively and I just can't get GPRS or MMS working on my Artemis.
I get "the remote party has ended the connection" on both WAP and GPRS.
I'm using the correct settings AFAIK and data's enabled on my account.
Can anyone post a cab file or similar that'll set it up for me?
