First off hi all, been a background reader for a week or so now,
My XDA Exec has now landed and wondered if a nice soul could help a guy out.
Although i'm pc savvy phones are not my forte, i cannot seem to find in the manual info on how to access the internet via 3g ie when im in the boozer and not on my lan at home.
Can someone point in the right direction, do i need to set it up via new isp, 3g provider?? if so what are the settings for O2 uk
Many thanks
Hi,
I take it you have a 3g SIM from O2? If you have, you can get their setup settings from the O2 website and once those are in your Exec whenever you launch an app that needs internet access it "should" automaticly try and connect via 3g.
Cheers buddy will have a look
alternatively there is a link somewhere on the forum (try searching for O2 settings) that lets you download a cab with the settings and you just run the cab. it may look like its going to install o2 active, but it doesnt. Just choose Personal and it will install the connection settings

If you let the device starup as normal, with all O2 skins and customisation, then everything will be put in for you.
As it says in the manual.... :wink:

I think we need to re-organise the FTP so that all cab files available are put there in the right section and properly tagged so everyone knows what they're downloading.
I've been in Brian's position where the data is there but you're not sure which is which.
I found that before, but it requires your email and order id to download it, and i have not ordered anything
Thanks guys
Brian
Sorry, they always threatened to password protect them but I thought they'd never get around to it. I did get my phone from there, but don't have details at hand, but hope these are still current.

i tried puttong them in , it brings up 4 seperate files? i put one in says not a valid file . doesnt anybody know?
this works great on my m500, but how do i set up mms,
Hi folks,
I just received my HTC TyTn today and thought I would post to say that it is AWESOME! So much smaller and pocketable than the Exec, 802.11G and a very slick keyboard.
Also, and more importantly, I found that the O2 Settings CAB from my old XDA EXEC works 100% perfectly on this device for setting up MMS / 3G GPRS / WAP etc. Its a single cab which simply installs those settings and no other O2 Active junk etc. Bear in mind this is for O2 UK only and will probably screw-up your device if you are using it in another territory.
I fully tested this with email / terminal services / mms messages and all worked perfectly. I have attached the CAB in a Zip archive (don't forget to log in to see it).
I hope someone finds this useful.
All the best,
Codeus
lol wish i had this when i got mine, i had to manually enter the settings which was a right pain....does the cab install the settings for the http AP over GPRS/3G rather than the standard wap one??
Yes, the Exec which I got the .cab from is also a GPRS 3G phone. so it works perfectly.
I tend to copy useful little cabs like this to my flash card and make them read-only so I can reinstall should I ever have to hard-reset on the road.

This is a very handy Cab file. It is likely to be for those who have a data tarriff i.e subscribed to mobile.O2.co.uk and not payandgo.o2.uk. However all is not lost because you can still install the cab file and then through connections menus you can tweak them for payand go. The following reference shows the different entries between payg and contract:
http://www.mphone.co.uk/mms_wap_settings_o2.html
Installing the cab file. Just download it either directly to your device or to PC. Do not extract or expand the file if it's on your PC just open active sync, use the explore button to open your device files and put it where you want (storage card for preference). Go to your device and tap/double tap the Cab and it will run.

O2 Cab file

I've just noticed your in the US. This cab file is for UK so I guess not much use for you. What I said about Cab files still applies in general though. You'll often find a choice as to whether you want to download a Cab file or an EXE file. Generally (not always) you run Exe files on your computer and they install to your device (while your conected with activesync). Cab files you copy onto your device and just tap them to run them. I like these cos I can store all the good ones on my SDcard and if I ever have to hard reset I have them all ready to tap and install again without resorting to the PC to reinstall everything.

plse help am nw at dis
Brillant, thank you
Thanks for that CAB, just used it to get my Kaiser working.
Just had to change the username and password in the settings and works perfectly.
Many thanks for sharing it.
I tried using this cab, and so far it seems to be all good, but I still can't get my MMS working. They haven't worked since I moved to 02 last year and still using my Vario II.
I've just flashed the Faria32 rom and I'm loving everything so far. I was hoping that this would now start working. Does anyone have any suggestions? Or is it just part of the deal with using a non O2 handset? Internet seems to be working fine... just no mms.
Incoming MMS problems on o2 PAYG fixed
I've had a problem with O2 PAYG, after installing the CAB and changing settings from contract to PAYG everything worked except incoming MMS (outgoing was ok). Eventuially I set O2 Active as my work connection, altered the O2 Active access point to payandgo.o2.co.uk, username=payandgo and password=password. The only proxy set was WAP=193.113.200.195:9201 In the MMS settings, the everything was left as default (connect using O2 Active, gateway 193.113.200.195, port 8080, server http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002)
Not sure why I had to use O2 Active instead of my internet connection with WAP proxy set, but it works now. Happy Bunny
Incidentaially, O2 refused to help me because the Hermes (O2 Trion) is only supported on contract. I guess if you are on PAYG, you could move to a simplicity plan for a month, get O2 to help, then go back to PAYG and change the settings back to the payandgo ones.
One of the reasons I went back to O2 is cos I've always had good customer service... I'm beginning to rethink that with their "computer says no!" help...
Thanks for the help i'm going to see if the O2 Active settings help me at all.
Anno 2009 still working, thank you.
tytn 2 gprs probs on o2 pay and go
hey all
if u are a pay and go customer (im on o2) when ur setting up ur connections simply enter the contract APN in the access point area..not the pay and go one as its restricted. I did this and boom the tytn was on the net! I suspect this could be the same for other pay and go sims. Hope this helps those of u who were bangin their head against the gprs wall of pay and go smartfone world.
Here's the cab file for setting up gprs and mms for PAYG.
Sorry for being such a noob, but what do I do with the cab files after downloading them..?
Where do I copy them to..?
Do I extract them..?

Hi, I'm just trying to find out how to set Vodafone live! setting up on my X01HT.
Does anyone know the Vodadone live! Australia setting on Windows Mobile devices?
Or is there a cab file?
If so, I appreciate if you explain to me how to use it.
Anyway, whether you know the setting or you have a cab file, I much appreciate if you help me out.
Thanks.
These are the Vodafone Settings I found.
They where for a I-Mate K-Jam, but I believe they will be all the settings you required.

Hi,
Anyone have a CAB for Vodafone NZ? I have never managed to get Vodafone Live working on my Hermes WM5. I was told by VF Oz that I needed to install a WAP browser as IE doesn't support WAP - is this true or a load of b*llocks? Presumably if IE works I just browse to an address i.e. http://www.vodafonelive.co.nz
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Jon.

I have flashed my phone with a generic rom (from Vodafone). If I install the WLAN fix cab, will it work? i.e. give me WLAN access for messenger? cos I dont want to screw any of my current settings up! On another point, will it give me WLAN access to emails etc?
Regards,
Alan
it did for me.
it will screw up ur settings a little bit. at least it will set another default connection for internet apps (my isp). but u can easily set it back to the old one.
then it used Wifi if its available. if not it did a GPRS connection for me. no matter what app i used.

Either the phone still has the default Vodafone ROM (in which you can't use Live on Wifi) or you have installed a new generic ROM (which can use Wifi).

The WLAN fix is just a load of registry setting changes, however it's for German Vodafone phone, so you will need to edit the APNs back to the UK ones.

I have the opposite problem. I can only connect to MSN over Wi-fi and not with the data connection. I'm on T-mobile but have a sim free uk X1. How can i get the messenger to connect when connected to t-mobile internet? I have web'n'walk included and msn not working defeats the object of why i got it! The opera browser works fine with the data connection... Please help! Thanks in advance.

I have been going through the t-mobile version of the touch pro 2 and I have not been able to find the settings for "Push Internet".
I did a quick google and found that the T-mobile EU version has removed it, so I assume that the US version also has the same problem.
Is this a rom upgrade issue or is there a cab that can be installed to override the t-mobile settings on the touchflo 3D 2.1?
Thanks,

I was hoping that like many things disabled from the pro 2, a quick registry hack might be possible. Anyone know how?
sorry, removed! but at least the FM radio and extra camera settings are found on this blog!
try in here...
HKCU/Software/HTC/Manila.
among the sub file:
-Internet.SetOperaForeground
-InternetPush.PostFirstRun
-PushMailOn
-DefaultBrowserIsIE
those look like points of interest. try changing the values around on those. i already turned the push mail on. but i havent seen a difference yet. maybe because i havent rebooted. but yeah, ill try those and get back to you..
I maybe too newbie but is it T-Mobile (UK?) settings?
Has the push function been removed from the ROM, or is it T-Mobile settings... I couldn't get MS Exchange to sync with T-Mobile default 3g settings so used these which worked... I don't know if it will help th push internet too... Just trying to help, if it's not relevant then flaming not appreciated!
Under the connections tab, edit existing connections...
ISP Name - T-Mobile GPRS
Name of Connection T-Mobile GPRS
Connection Type - Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)
Portal - general.t-mobile.uk
Username - user
Password - one2one
The default settings use a proxy server which some applications don't like.

I took a look through the registry, I went through the whole thing. I notice in software/HTC/manila there is the settings for push internet. I messed with some settings and it looks like the push internet is enabled by default but the touchflo program is missing the push internet settings button.
Is there a way to hack the layout links on the TF program through the reg?
I dont think you can access TF settings through the registry. i have seen many settings for it. just a couple here and there. We may need a fix for it in the form of a CAB. i dont see anyone figuring this out through RegEdits. im sure a lot of people have been through it and tried different things, so we may just have to wait for a new ROM?

Push internet is a new thing in the TP2. It downloads web pages on a schedule so they're ready when you need it. T-mobile took out the feature, presumably to save bandwidth.

aahhh!!! didn't know that...thanx
I have been checking through reg again.
I think that in the Hkey_CU/Software/HTC/Manila/ we are missing some of the Keys to push internet. I see that you can setup some of the push internet features but there are no options like the URL, download times, or anything, but just below the same area allows you to configure almost every other auto download service like schedule your stock, and download times, weather, auto-download.
Maybe someone with push internet working can post a pic of the push internet settings from Hkey_CU/Software/HTC/Manila/
There's also bound to be an XML file or additional settings in the existing one (InternetPortal-en-us.xml) and t-mobile might have removed a DLL or two. What we really need is a file-comparison of the two devices as well as a registry comparison.
