I initially upgraded my XDA to 4.00.05 ENG WM2003 using Jeff’s rom kitchen. I got the GPRS settings off the web and entered them it all worked with out any problems.
Because of a few bugs with that image (mainly the alarms never went off) I decided to upgrade to 4.00.11 ENG WM2003 again from Jeff’s rom kitchen. However no matter what I try I can’t get GPRS to work. It always displays this error message:
Dialed: mobile.o2.co.uk
The answering modem disconnected. Check your connection settings and change them if needed.
Thought this must be a bug with that rom but when I tried to use the 4.00.05 ENG WM2003 I get the same effect. I wonder if I am using different GPRS settings but I have tried the ones from other web sites. Can some one post / point me in the direction of, some accurate settings they know to work on an O2 UK XDA on contract, including details such as compression settings (no seems to mention them in the settings I have seen).
I also tried reinstalling the latest O2 radio stack, to no avail.
Thanks for your help.
I have posted numerous posts asking for help on this exact problem, I get this all the time and would really appreciate the full settings and instructions for gprs on O2 payg using xda.
Another Possibility
I have had one other idea. After getting EzWap 2.5 I asked O2 to enable MMS on my phone. I know that uses WAP GPRS and others have had problems with having MMS enabled. I wonder if hat has caused problems for me. I will give o2 a call.
ok using latest o2 radio stack and 40011 2003 rom from the kitchen.....
new connection....
name: <insert something interesting here>
modem: cellular (gprs)
access point: mobile.o2.co.uk
username: mobileweb
password: password
domain: <leave blank>
click advanced..... ignore everything, click servers, change to use specific and add these:
dns: 193.113.200.200
alt dns: 193.113.200.201
works on o2 contract in uk. not sure about anything else....

Scott's Settings
Scott thanks for the settings. They were the settings I had been trying to use.
Still not contacted o2 yet. I need the phone number off one of the bills and I dont have any to hand here so I will probably just wait for the next bill. I am quite sure its the MMS messenging on my account that is causing problems. It was at about the time MMS was activated on my account that I lost GPRS, this surley can't be a coinsidence.

Is this what you have so far:
How do I configure my PC for my new mobile Internet access?
Prior to using GPRS service, you will need to configure your PC using the CD-ROM included with your handset or device. If your software is not already configured, you will be asked for your Access Point Name (APN). Enter internet.fido.ca when prompted. Then enter your user name (fido) and password (fido).
If not give it a try.
Ok some of this is new to me. I did not get a CD with my SX56. I got if off eBay and the seller didn't include as Siemens CD but he did give me a cd wit some files on it...I have no clue what they were so I left them alone...
So now I have to configure somethin on my Desktop PC b4 using GPRS on my mobile device? I'm very lost at this point. I do have those fido settins, altho I think wap.fido.ca is the propper APN.
Thanks for helpin out man. I'd love if somebody could clear this for me. Thanks in advance

For all of you who have had difficulty setting up GPRS and MMS for the Virgin network then the comprehensive instructions in the attached document should put you on the right track.
MMS Virgin
Thanks for your help. Its now all working
It was the bit in MMS Composer causing the problem
it was trying to use the wrong connection
Now works Great
Thanks Once Again
Best Regards
Cingular
I read the PDF on setting up with Virgin.
Any chance of getting a document on setting up with Cingular? I have a XDA IIs activated with Cingular and need help getting GPRS and MMS to work.
Cingular
Sorry but I don't think that I can help as I have no details for your network. More importantly, as I'm not a Cingular customer, I wouldn't be able to test that I was setting up and documenting the connections correctly. I was only able to produce this document because I'm on the Virgin network and it took a fair bit of trial and error to get the connections right.
Thanks a million
Unbelievably helpful - thanks! I too have been playing with the settings provided by Virgin, but the GPRS/MMS combination was proving tricky! Would you perhaps be willing to give this to Virgin for others to get easier access to (if they're interested) - they tried to help but in the end said 'we don't support your phone so you're on your own'...? Thanks again for a BRILLIANT help file. Keith.
Glad you found it useful.
I've sent a copy of the document to Virgin and they said they'd pass it on to the relevant department so that they can check it for correctness! It remains to be seen whether they'll actually use it officially or not.
Bump!
just bumping this as it's a really useful document!
does anyone know how we can create a CAB file from this?
Thanks
Just bought myself a "touch" and had a hell load of trouble getting gprs to work for Virgin. This actually got me up and running, thanks.
Thanks for the link just set up all my connections. It seems Virgin hasn;t taken up your offer of letting peeps know about your instructions.
Superb!
Virgin had no clue at all
I followed this, and bang - connected
1 note: If you get "could not connect for an unknown reason" just reset your phone
Thx for this
Just wondering if Virgin Network lets HTC Home Weather update over GPRS?
With O2 at moment, they don't! Home phone through Virgin so it could be cheaper.
Thanks
I have just set up my MDA Vario following your easy to use instructions, and I can now connect to the internet on Virgin (I have moved from T-Mobile). However, I cannot send an MMS message even though I have double checked the settings. Can you tell me if there is anything else that may need to be done, or have others had any similar problems?
great.....for the first time i could send/receive MMS

Clueless!!!
I have done all of this and keep getting the message gateway timeout
A big thanks for this post, it saved me a lot of grief, as mentioned earlier Virgin were worse than useless.
Newbie question
Thanks so much sbgorner - I'll show my ignorance here ! I have been able (when a signal is available) to connect via wifi which is, generally free. I have now, thanks to you, managed to set up a gprs connection (which costs via virgin) - I want to be sure that I ONLY use the gprs when i really have to - I've had a pretty good look but am not sure how I can tell which connection settings I'm using and how I can make sure the gprs is turned off when I don't want it. Thanks for your help. regards Roger
Hi me again - Happy new Year everybody. Another little problem - I can get on internet with these settings and RECEIVE emails but not SEND emails or MMS. Any suggestions much appreciated. Roger

Hi, first off, thanks for the PDF. Brilliant, both MMS & GPRS working now. Something Virgin were not very helpful about.
I am trying to set up my email which is an NTL account but keep getting a message saying that it can't connect.
Any ideas if it is possible to set up email with Virgin?
Thanks.
VPA Compact is out in the uk on Vodafone now!It's been a long wait.Now i can try the new shape out and retire my jam
but isn't the jam and the vpa compact the same model but from different carriers/distributors :roll:
As a vodafone user I'd love to use the vodafone firmware.....is it possible for anyone to extract it?

Yeah they are.But my jams started playing up and i thought i was going to have to splash out alot of money again for a new one.Then vodafone called me and told me i could upgrade my phone.A previous woman had told me i could have the qtek 9090.I'm not too keen on the size though,then another guy told me the vpa was out now and it cost me nothing!It's the same as the jam although the housing has go more thought into the layout and it just looks a bit better overall.A kind of facelift!

Cheers.I'll give it a go tomorrow and see if i can post it on here if anyones interested
Got the vpa today.All i can say is the build quality over the jam/mda/mini units is soo much better.It's got a much more solid feel and no bits of plastic hanging off like my jam!Happy[/list]
So, Now you´ve got your device...
But where is the dump/backup of your ROM?
Any news about this?
Stefan
Got to say Jay you're lucky that Vodafone UK phone you with upgrades. I have to keep hounding them and when I do get through its to some idiot who is usually less competant than the last (hard to believe).
May do the same as you,

Hi.I'll try that rom dump asap

It's definately worth it,even though you have to speak to loads of boneheads at vodafone that don't even know what it is and keep telling you they don't have that phone and they've never heard of it.I called up the day i could upgrade and luckily got to speak to someone with a bit of knowledge.Ordered it thursday afternoon and arrived friday morning!Defintely worth it,much better build than the magician! :wink:

Have you been able to successfully surf the internet?
I have got an I-mate on VF UK contract and have run the automatic VF UK contract config setup and can successfully connect using the VF WAP Connection and VF MMS connection, but if I try the VF Internet GPRS connection, I get every time the error message 'The answering modem has disconnected'. Sad
Do you have the same experience or does it work for you?
I can only load wap pages using the WAP connection and can send mms, but can't view any html sites.
Cheers,
Antoine
My web works fine.It was all set up out the box.Everything seems to work mms web etc.The settins are different to what i had on my jam when i had to use the cab files from imate.This time in connections there is a contract internet setting already setup and should work from the off.Have you not got this?
Hmm... I am really miffed to be honest. Out of the box (i-mate) I had three configs:
Connections: Vodafone MMS and Vodafone WAP:
Modem: Cellular Line (GPRS)
APN: wap.vodafone.co.uk
Username: wap
Password: wap
WAP proxy: 212.183.137.12:9201
(I have tried entering the same proxy for html, but that didn't solve the problem either)
Connection: Vodafone Internet:
Modem: Cellular Line (GPRS)
APN: internet
Username: web
Password: web
I can connect using the WAP and MMS one, but any html page times out. I can read specific wap sites though, like for example the wap edition of BBC mobile.
The Vodafone Internet connection is the one that doesn't work. But maybe I have the incorrect settings? What settings do you have?
I am running ROM: 1.12.00 WWE, Radio: 1.12.10, Protocol: 1337.42, ExtROM: 1.12.131 WWE.
Cheers
They are the settings i had on my jam too.3 different connections.But on the compacy there is only one called contract connection and it doesn't let you edit it like the others so i can't see the details.Have you downloaded the cab off the i mate website with uk contract vodafone settings in it?
They were already installed. But reapplied them anyway and still no luck. It is consistent... that's the only positive.
Is the voice quality any better than the jam

Toine,
You have everything right apart from the email/internet GPRS settings.
I use two connections (always have) on my QTEK S100 for Vodafone UK. You need 1 to access MMS and another to send/receive email and browse the internet.
In SETTINGS/CONNECTIONS/CONNECTIONS
1. You should have "Vodafone Internet:" connection defined as is above
2. Under "My Work network" you should "Add a new modem connection" with the settings you have in "Vodafone MMS and Vodafone WAP:" except there is no username/password (you have wap defined).
In MESSAGING/TOOLS/MMS SETTINGS
1. Set "Connect via" to "My work network".
2. Make sure you have your server defined with the settings you have in the next tab. This should be (in case you don't have it):
Server name: Vf UK MMS (for example)
Gateway: 212.183.137.12
port number: 9201
Server address: http://mms.vodafone.co.uk/servlets/mms
This set-up should now tell the imate to connect to email and the internet with the "APN: internet" connection and connect for MMS to "Vf UK MMS"
Hope this helps, let me know if you have any problems,
Martyn
jaythemagician: can you give us yr VPA ROM, Radio and Protocol version (as in SETTINGS|Device Information) ?
Apologys if this is a repeat post but i need help.
I have just received my shiny new jasjar phone after upgrading from an m1000 spv.
I cannot get on the internet with it though using gprs. What are the setting that i need to change? What are the settings required for mms?
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Hi TimeCreature.
As you've bought a JasJar, you need only register your JasJar @ clubi-mate.com, which will give you access to all their on-line help. There you will find a section for all the network providers settings for pay-as-you-go or contract. They will be in .cab format after you dowload. Copy it to your SD card and install to your device from there. That's it.
Firstly, o2 will not support GPRS usage on Pay and Go. If you're wanting to use 3G, then you'll need a new SIM. Freestyling with settings here;
APN: mobile.o2.co.uk
username: o2web
password: password
Any more problems, let me know.
Registerd your deive with i-mate after that download settings from there website.
