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

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 ;-)

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?

3G Internet Problems - Vodafone UK

Hi,
I had a quick search but my problem persists, and please forgive me if this is silly, but I'm new to this Windows Mobile Stuff!
I'm trying to get Vodafone Live working on my Exec. I can get to the Vodafone Live homepage but it is text only, there are no photos or any 3G native content/options like video downloads.
I have set my access point as "internet" and username/password fields as "wap" but still no joy. What am I missing?
I know there is a CAB file on the i-mate website with the settings but cause I have the Exec I can't download it, please help!!!!!!

Unfortunately I don't think this can be done.
As with users who converted the v800 into the z800 even with the correct settings Vodafone live no longer recognises the device as 3g-live capable.
They use the HTTP user agent string to tailor the page to the device and if that changes (which it did V800->Z800) to one not currently used by a vodafone supplied device then the basic WAP style plaintext site is offered.
There's no way to spoof the user agent, don't forget the VPA IV isn't out yet, and even when it does arrive the user agent will likely be tweaked by the bespoke firmware, so even then you'll need to flash it with the horrid Vodafone red styling to see the correct Live site...

Incidentally, all you need to do to set up Vodafone 3G is use the APN name 'Internet' - the username and password fields are redundant, they can see the device is on their network and from the HLR I believe will already know you've access to 3G services so you just need to specify which APN you're looking to use.

I have a JJ and a 3G Vodafone SIM. The .cab files are just for the APN setup etc and like you I cant get the Vodafone content. It must have a URL but its not the default Live favorite on my JJ

No, it's the fact that the device passes a string to the webserver containing the identity of the user agent, and Vodafone don't sell a jasjar or an Exec, so don't have pages tailored for it.

Is this situation likely to change when the VDA IV get released?

if the VPA IV has a different user agent string then only if you use the voda firmware or someone works out how to customise them to that degree, otherwise no.

I HAVE XDA EXEC Working On Vodafone 3G & GRPRS
I have this working on my XDA EXEC.
Make Sure your phone is unlocked for Vodafone
Sim.
The access point is "internet" as you said, however the username and password are both "web" not "wap". Leave everything else as default.

tried your suggestion - no luck. i think the APN is for contract vodafone customers. PAYG has a diferent APN.
anyway, when you say it words, are you getting the full live! screens? i can only see the text (very wap looking) screens, and no links to entertainment, which i can see if i use my nokia 6330.

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 Live! setting for TyTN?

I have seen many posts but have not been able to get this to work. I have modified the line to be Nokia6800 or Nokia6300 but all I get when it is connected is the words locating at the bottom of PIE? Has anyone successfully connected to it recently and does any one have working settings for the above.
chyanmor

what do you call Vodaphone Live! ? the wap portal of your provider ?
you should tell us which provider you use so we can help you
each provider has its own settings and a different URL for the wap portal

Hi,
I am trying to the get the PIE to look up live.vodafone.co.uk. I have set the settings as in http://www.clieuk.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?p=34134. However can't get the vodafone page to come up. First of all it said time out and since adding the proxy address in as DNS server it now says it can't locate the page. I have seen some other pages similarly suggesting the browser UA should be Nokia6630?
Any ideas

Hi chyanmor
I also read the same post on that forum and was still having difficulty. I found the default installed streaming media player (HTC Version 2.00 Build602.618) on the Vodafone v1605 UK also has an UA setting under HKLM\software\HTC\Streaming\UserAgent ....I changed the string to this Nokia6680/1.0 (Symbian OS/8.0; Nokia; Series60/2.06)/Netfront3.3 which is the same for Pocket IE. It now shows Vodafone Live with the correct colour icons, links and streams the video content including YouTube with a single click in Pocket IE.
I have searched this and other forums and never seen this key piece of info and hope it helps others ....I also hope it wasn't obvious or posted here and I never found it ......Aaaargh!
Enjoy
PS
The proxy server should not be added as a DNS entry

X1 on Vodafone - Internet Settings

Hi all,
Just thought I'd share this info in case others are having the same problems...I got my X1 on Vodafone last week, but was having some problems using the Internet with some apps, i.e. SPB mobile shell, Tomtom, Facebook Panel and Yahoo Go.
Basically, the Internet worked fine with Vodafone Live and Vodafone Find & Go but not with the other programs, i.e. when I was trying to update the weather in SPB Mobile Shell or use the Facebook panel.
I looked through the settings and it looks as though it connects to the Internet via a Proxy server (Vodafone's) for some reason....so I found out how to get around it.
Got to:
- Settings (in start menu)
- Connections (tab)
- Connections (icon)
- Advanced (tab)
- Select Networks
- Click on New
- Call it MyGPRS
- Click on the Modem Tab
- In the first option, call it Vodafone wap
- Select Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)
- Click Next
- In the first option, Access point name = wap.vodafone.co.uk
- Click next
- Username = wap
- Password = wap
- Leave Domain blank
- Click Finish
- Click OK twice
- Go back to "Select Networks"
- In the top drop down, select the new connection you created (MyGPRS)
- Click ok
You should now be able to use all the Apps, but the vodafone live services dont work....unless you change your connection back to My ISP. I can now use BBC iPlayer (only over WiFi) though.
Anyone else experienced this problem? Can you shed any light on the situation for me please!
Thanks, and I hope this helps someone

Me too having this problem,i can't access vodafone live via gprs. Can someone please post the CORRECT gprs settings that we can work easily like normal phones....pleaseee

i was able to access vodafone live but its the text version, i wouldnt have bothered its just that vodafone have given me 1 months free tv package which im keep to check out.
i must have removed something deep in the phone like a dll or another type of file.

I have an untouched rom and dont really mess with my X1 but my live buttons dont work they just take me to the gogle homepage and thats it?

You need to use My ISP if you want access to the full Vodafone Live. You will also need to make sure that the user-agent in Opera is set to the Vodafone one and not IE or full Opera.
