Hi,
I just unlocked my XDA II and I'm using a Vodafone SIM in it. How do I utilize GPRS, WAP and Modem connectivity with this SIM? Is it possible to get rid of all the O2 crap installed on it, i.e. "clean" it up properly?
A new skin would be cool!
Cheers,

you are by no means the first who ask this question
And what's the answer? Is it possible at all?

yes it possible the xda is not limited to o2 in anyway
you just have to set it up
to do this you need to know the connection point your provider use for mms, grps and wap (if you also want that)
there are many posts which explane how you set it up in the network forum
but if you cant find any i could explane it step by step i suppose
i dont know much about o2's settings but if it's today stuff you can turn it off under today in settings
otherwise you can always make your own rom at www.yorth.net and get a more pure non o2 custom rom
you can get tons of skins as in today skins on many sites
and at yorth.net you can also get phone skins or have explaned how to make them yourself
Works fine now, thanks. Vodafone's acces point is named 'internet' (which was easy to read off the SIM), and the user/passwd is web/web (had to call them up to get that). So GPRS works fine. Needs some more info to set a Modem connection, but it shouldn't be hard.
The reason for my original posting, was that I was lead to believe that O2 had "locked" the device, which is not the case at all.
Anyway, thanks for info. Btw, the link you mention does not work...
Cheers,

my bad

spelling issue
Ttm, I'm confused. :shock: I am in the same situation as you (xda II with vodafone sim), yet i cannot connect GPRS using your settings. The settings I connect with are APN: pp.vodafone.co.uk with the same user/password as you. This connects fine yet i cannot send or receive emails.
Am i doing something wrong? have i missed something in the setup? what do you reckon? :?:
cheers, coj
well one thing is to be able send mails and another is to get mail working
can you get IE working ?
Yes, IE is working fine and dandy
then i doubt it's a grps issue
if you put in all the mail settings like
pop3 and smpt if you used those protocols
and it still dont work with your type of mail protocol
then i would contact the phone company to see if they rout
your type of mails
I've recently acquired an xda mini s from 02 as a free upgrade, however i want to put a vodafone sim card in it.
I've got the gprs working, but the mms isnt at all.
I've tried numerous cab files, can anyone help? maybe typing the settings in by hand?
please

sounds like you've done a soft reset after a hard reset bypassing the extended rom install? The only way to get the MMS application is to hard reset and do a "Basic" install then remove the O2 stuff from the Windows startup folder. Once you've done this you'll have the MMS app with O2 settings that you can just change to Vodafone settings.
Ok, tried this and still not workin.
What is going on here?!
do you meand MMS isn't working still or you still don't even have MMS in Pocket outlook
Do a search for removing the O2 stuff, there are many topics with the cab files to install to recover the MMS inbox
If however you have the inbox, just not the settings call vodafone and get them to tell / e-mail you
or go here http://www.filesaveas.com/gprs.html
I managed to fix this problem finally.
The problem was that the MMS software was trying to connect using the vodafone Live access point, which isn't correct. had to set up a whole new connection for the MMS settings, it is now working fine.
Any chance you could post those settings here as I'm having exactly the same problem?
SMS is fine it's just the MMS I cant get working, Inbox is there just the setting that seem to be wrong.
This helped me out:

I can now send, but not receive MMS with my voda sim on my mini-s
Perfect Thanks,
I can now send and recieve MMS, SMS and Surf the "world wide wait"
Not sure why you cant recieve MMS though, I followed your instructions to the letter and all worked straight away, albeit a bit slow but then I think that's a tarrif thing with Vodafone. (I'm on a corporate contract with my own unlocked Mini-s)
I dont suppose you know the URL to access the Vodafone live site as well do you?
Hello, I have the same issue. But l'm on O2 , using o2 mini S , device. I can receive and download MMS , but I can't send MMS to another person. Is the any thing I miss? l'm using corporate mode.
Not sure about the corporate mode but I do know that unless you have the settings in exactly the right places you will have problems.
This link from earlier in the post should help you solve your problem though.
The second link is for Vodafone but use it to give you an idea of where you should be setting up the various elements.
You could also try searching for "O2 MMS Settings"

Hi Gurus,
I have a major problem and am tearing my hair out. I've searched this forum as much as I can, and followed as many instructions as possible, but am still no closer to resolving.
I have an Orange SPV M600, which I've unlocked and have out an O2 online sim only in it - all fine so far.
I have deleted all gprs/wap setings for orange
I have set up O2 gprs settings as per the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=265647 - just the gprs and MMS part though (not wap) submitted by s_h_a_h_i_d (many thanks for your info).
I've then gone to messaging, and have attempted to get my UK yahoo mail coming down to the phone. I can receive everything, but whenever I try and send email from the account, i get the "Mesages cannot be downloaded to your mobile device. Make sure you are connected and that your email account settings are correct. Then, try to download messages again". I let the phone get the settings from yahoo, and everywhere I've looked, the settings are definitely pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk and smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk with a blank domain.
Someone please help. This is insane
TIA

very normal, not your machine problem. If you know which ISP are you connecting to by WIFI, use the smtp server of that ISP. It will be okay.
If you're using a GPRS connection then you need to change the outgoing server to smtp.o2.co.uk
thanks for the reply guys. smtp.O2.co.uk worked. Happy holiday season
Hey ppl
Owned my trinity for about 2 years now and recently was shown the Blyk phone service for students. I thought great. I am 16-24 and i have an MMS phone so i applied for it. REcieved me SIM today. Anyway, i put it in and it reads my settings fine and connects to the network. However when they try to send me an MMS text it doesn't work so i cannot recieve my free balance.
Is the trinity MMS capable? Am i missing something?
Thanks
drummerian
http://manual.blyk.co.uk/display/phones/Unsupported+phones
just found this, anyone know if there is away around it?
bump, aynone?
You can configure MMS service on trinity - if Blyk want to send you the server details etc. you should be able to configure it - just getting the settings in an intelligible format is difficult from them. Windows Mobile IS compatible - but they are very slack supporting it!!!!
any ideas then how to do this?
cheers for your help
anyone? please help
Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can configure phone or edit registry so that i can use internet on o2? I bought the phone sim free on pay as you go but as o2 dont support this model neither they nor samsung can help. Trying to change the settings leaves you with this message 'This connection is pre configured. It cannot be changed. I cant send mms but can receive them and Opera just aint what I want. Even if I have to send the phone away for modification to someone, i'll do, but can't find anyone who can!!!!
