O2 MMS/GPRS/Internet Settings

Hey guys,
Wondered if any of you could help me out? I'm on contract with O2 and have the XDAIIi. Now I removed the O2 Active plugin for obvious reasons but find that I now have no connection setup for the internet. I've been to O2 and all they keep doin is giving me instructions on how to get it to connect through the O2 Active interface and I keep telling them I removed it.
I need anyone else who is on a contract, or who has the fully manual setup details to possibly post them so I can get mine setup. I'm talking about 'Modem Type', 'Access Point' etc.
Any help would be great, or a link to somewhere else that has the instructions/settings. I really need the MMS and especially GPRS/internet functionality and I'm getting nowhere with O2.
Ta chaps.

Don't understand...
I removed o2active UI stuff but my settings have remained...
Do you have nothing for your network connections from o2?

Auto Setup If THis Helps
Hi Guys
I spent the weekend working on Updating WM2003SE-Sin-Merged-v2.0
(Fantastic work BTW)
I wanted more software installed, automaticly, so spent a long time playing with Sprite, and variouse levels of pre installed software.
whilst playing and restoring factory defaults using the SD backup i had made i found...
On your orriginal Extended bios there is a file called.
o2ActiveUI_engl_4rom.CAB
I installed this, and then found the executable file that used to run on a factory default model, after a hard reset.
(screen asking if you were pay as you go, or pre-paid, or post paid, and which internet setting you wanted installed.
I have now put this file on my XDA in storage, and can run it after a hard reset to setup internet for GPRS and WAP, in just a few second :0p
I have not yet worked out if i can do the same thing with MMS as i believe MMS was updated drematicly with WM2003 SE.
any way, dont know if it helps anyone. but thought id let you know.
IF anyone wants more info on what i have done, ask here, and ill try to write a less rush, and more detailed post.

Hi all, I have the same problem and tried the solution above. I still can't connect to the Internet or get email. I get the error message "Cannot Connect. Dialed: wap.o2.co.uk. Cannot connect for an unknown reason. etc".
Any other suggestions?
Thanks, Hondo

o2 wap settings are driving me mad...

Hi folks,
OK, today I did a hard reset and decided to bypass the o2 bloatware - everything is fine apart from no access to the internet.
I have searched this board and have tried about 30 differing settings - including some cab files and none will work for me - it used to work fine... and yes, I am on a contract...
Apart from resetting again and loading the bloatware - is there any foolproof way to get this sorted - I am tearing my hair out!!!
Please help as its driving me mad - the error message I get is "Dialled mobile.o2.co.uk No modem at above number etc..."
OK - back after Doctor Who...

I'm don't know if you've tried the ones on here or not but here goes...
http://www.filesaveas.com/gprs.html

Now this IS strange - decided to reinstall all the o2 bloatware... and the GPRS web access still doesn't work... so what's gone wrong?

ok.... nno need to worry,
1st call your network to confirm you still have GPRS access, bcos networks can sometimes take you off without any notification...

and heres a o2 uk pay monthly cab to setup mms gprs

Hiya - thanks for the info...
Just rang o2 and guess what - gprs is not activated on my sim card... he couldn't tell me where it had gone, but he has added it back on and says it will take 48 hours...
He says I need to ring back for the settings - but surely the correct settings are already on... or do they need to do anything else at that end?

If you done the hard reset and then soft reset when it comes up to warn you that it's about to install the "o2 bloatware" then it's more than likely that the settings for o2 gprs will not be on there. This is because it normally gets installed along with the bloat.
Just wait the 48hrs and if you still can't connect then install the cab file jamichy has provided above or enter the settings manually from...
http://www.filesaveas.com/gprs.html

Hi!
My view:
if your GPRS was working before your hard reset, and not now, I think it's more likely that the O2 rep you talked to has no idea what he/she's on about, rather than the SIM strangely deactiviating GPRS capability.
I also had the same trouble (on O2 contract) getting my GPRS, MMS, and WAP working without the O2 rubbish. I followed these wonderful instructions from the board (can't remember which post they're from), and now all works sweetly,
I hope it works for you!

MMS and GPRS work fine now.

OK - here is an interesting question - why do the numerous cab files for the o2 contract settings all have a password that is longer than the word "password"? :?:

I cant be sure, but its most likely the same reason windows (desktop) does it. once you have saved the password it is just *'s. the number of stars or blobs no longer has to relate to the number of letters in the password (probably to make hidden passwords harder to guess by knowing how long they are). - it hasn't changed the svaed password to something longer, just makes it "look" longer.

UPDATE
Got an email from o2 today regarding my problems...
After checking your number below, it appears that there has been a
problem with GPRS from our side, and nothing to do with the upgrade on
your device. I have enquired with customer care for you, and they advise
that GPRS will be going back on to the network from lunch time tomorrow
(unfortunately no specific timescales can be given). I do apologise for
this, but if you wish to take this further...
Fingers crossed...

Hello, I know this is a bit old but I am having problems setting up my o2 connections on my Wizard recently flashed to TNT5.0.
I've done the above for GPRS and Wap settings but they're not working.
They both ad +1 dial codes, I can't get rid of them for some reason so it won't work. Any clue as to what I'm doing wrong?

Ignore the above, i finally found a working cab file, all is resolved. I am happy!

UK O2 GPRS Pay as You Go Settings?

Hi,
I have tried fiddling around with various different O2 GPRS settings I found on the forums, but I can't seem to any of them to work.
GPRS used to work on my old Nokia fine, and I am using the same SIM card so GPRS should work with my new O2 XDA Mini S phone.
Only problem with the O2 XDA Mini S, is that when you use their GRPS setup program it has Contract selected and Pay as You go is greyed out and you can't select it.
Just wondering if anyone knows the correct settings that works with UK O2 Pay as You Go?
Thanks for any help!

Search under "o2 GPRS settings" and you shall find . . . . . .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=279589&highlight=o2+gprs+settings
The Search function is there for a reason.

Using the first settings on that post I get this error message in Internet Explorer:
The page cannot be displayed or downloaded because the connection was lost. Check the connection and try and later.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The GPRS seems to be connected as you get the little G symbol with 2 arrows saying its connected.
The 2nd setting on that post gives me fails to connect to GPRS and I get the error message from the system saying:
Cannot Connect
Dialed: mobile.o2.co.uk
Cannot connect for an unknown reason. To checked your connection settings and change them if needed, tap Settings. If the problem continues, reset your device according to your manufacturer's documentation and try again.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The O2 site doesn't list the O2 XDA Mini S on http://www.o2.co.uk/services/ota4/select and their instructions are to use the O2 GRPS setup program which has Contract selected by default and Pay as You go is greyed out and you can't select it.
The contract settings that it installs by default gives the 2nd error message above.
I think I am pretty much out of ideas?

o2 gprs pay and go settings

Use the following:

Tap on the WAP field and enter 193.113.200.195 and ensure that the port is set to 9201
OK out of the settings.
Launch the PIE and use the prefix wsp:// to point the browser at the WAP network. Use wap.google.co.uk to test.
** I forgot to point out that you cannot use mobile.o2.co.uk as you have a prepay sim! **

Okay.... further info.... having been on the phone to o2 (several departments) for a not inconsiderable amount of time today.
These settings (above) will allow you access to MMS functionality and the O2 Active service. However full GPRS access, POP access etc IS NOT available via a pay as you go sim (I argued with several departments & threatened to take my custom elsewhere but to no avail!).
However the good news is that they offer an 'online contract service' with a 1 month cancelation period that will give you full gprs access. I've opted for the 'online 30' (i.e. 30 quid) with 500 sms & 500 any network minutes per month, 'online 40' gives double that.
I have trawled the web trying to find the correct answer & settings but it seems that it basicaly comes down to the fact that O2 will not allow full internet access on a Pay as You Go simcard, for some strange reason known only to themselves. I thought that a couple of stroppy calls & some cajoling would do the trick.... but it seems not.
Bottom line then?
You need to be on a contract. However if you don't need a handset from them then a 1 month tie in is all that's required - (sim only, online deal).
I'll post back here if I have further problems with them (I do require them to keep the same number as on my existing sim..... & given the number of uninformed people I've spoken to already today, could prove to be a whole new issue in itself!).
Good luck out there!
Ian

HELP PLEASE moving from Vodafone to O2??????

Hi
I wonder if anyone here can help me please.
I have the Vodafone 1605 version of the Hermes all configured (surprise surprise) for Vodafone.
I have just moved over to o2 on one of theier sim only contracts and really want to continue to use mt Hermes phone.
HOWEVER I cannot get 3G to work for video calling, or my browser to work.
I have an email from o2 to do the setup but I cannot really make much sense of it.
I have downloaded from wiki the o2 cab and installed this but again without any lsuccess.
I am doing something silly?
Cheers.
Robin

Hi Robin
Oh dearie me - this could take a while!!
First I would make sure the vodaphone settings are gone. Which my not be as easy as it sounds but we can try.
Go to Start>settings>connections>connections icon Tap the "Manage existing connections" entry. There will be an entry in the list. To start afresh tap and hold it and an option to delete comes up. Delete it. The list should be empty, if not continue this until it is.
This done do a soft reset and then go back to same place to make sure list is still empty.
If the old settings come back then we have a problem with the voda customisation.
If the list is still empty this is good!
You can then try the following:
I suggest sticking to the first RED GPRS part initially - NOTE the different entries for Payg and Contract.
Then skip to the paragraph below entitled PROXY

Hi Mike
Now that is what I call a comprehensive reply!!!!!
MANY, many thanks.
I have been told that o2 forgot to add the GPRS provision to my account and that it won't be active until tomorrow so I will wait until then so i can test each step of the way.
Again my thanks for sucha complete reply.

I've also got the Vodafone 1605 and use it with both vodafone and O2 SIM cards. I did dump the vodafone ROM ages ago so I don't know if there is anything in the VOD ROM which will prevent other operators settings from working.
I use the attached cab files which make my set-up work for whichever SIM is fitted. The Bandswitch program just lets me switch on or off connection settings for the operator I'm using - it works a treat and is very quick.

Ok so maybe the Cab file with the settings has worked ok just O2 had not activated GPRS yet.
Mike

possibly.
But having followed the earlier post MOST of it is now working although not MMS at this point.
I have just seen the new cabs posted and am debating wether to leave whaqt i have working, working OR..........
To try the cabs and see if they complete the job.
Hmmmm

I hope that is the worst of your troubles... my 12 months with O2 were horrendous. I ended up, amongst other things, paying for things such as MMS allowances when my account on their system was misconfigured in such a way that it never actually worked properly. customer support is a bloody nightmare, having to deal with the tier 1 CSRs made me want to pull my hair out at times.
all I can say is that i'm glad the (web-only?) sim only packages are one-month rolling contracts. There's two reasons I moved away from O2 - their customer support and their tariffs. curiously enough, those are also the two reasons I'll be staying with T-Mobile for the foreseeable future, unless they ever stopped doing flat-rate 3G!
if you still need help later / tomorrow, I'll dig out my old XDA 2i and get the gprs and mms settings off it if that'll help you (the phone is in Brum and I'm not, at least until the evening).

I have to say that talking to their support trying to set up this phone has not been a pleasant experience.
I really liked the look of t-mobile, particularly the fast data rates available and good tariffs BUT I got my wife a t-mobile Pay as you go phone a couple of weeks ago and it is unusable where we live.
No signal in the house and very spotty around the village.
I tried to return it but they insisted their system said I had a signal so would not take it back!!!!!!!
Again many thanks for all the help.
