connecting to net problem - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

why can't i connect to the net with my Exec?
it comes up with a box from the (G and U symbol) stating " The current connection cannot be used for a your request. Please end the current connection and try again"
whats all that about?
kindest regards,

bump

What network is it on?
Primarily I'd check with your serivec provider to check that GPRS/UTMS and MMS has been provisioned on the account and then check the settings.

if it has been provisioned on your account and still cannot connect, you may have to get the custom cab file to auto configure your communication settings. the cab file might be in your extended rom, or you may get a new one from O2.
in effect it will configure for you the mms, gprs, umts, wap and other related settings for accessing the web once your account is enabled.
each is unique to the service provider, so you may not have the correct settings.

im on O2....where can i get the cab file for O2?
thanks

try o2, I read they provide awesome support!
if you have the exec, get total commander, browse to \extended_rom\ and install it again manually from th4e device.
o2 may have an updated copy.

Connecting to the internet via GPRS

Does anyone know how to configure the Connections settings for internet access on the XDA I?
Now that it's unlocked from AT&T wireless, I am able to use it on my Cincinnati Bell Wireless (an AT&T affiliate - we don't have AT&T service available in Cincinnati). But there tech guys 'don't support that phone' so they can't give me the Access Point Name or WAP settings etc. to try and connect to the internet. I do have a GPRS connection and actually had already setup a WEBCLIENT account with them.
THanks.
1. Find out if you need a username, password, and domain for use with GPRS. You're "webaccount" information may be what you will use.
2. Find out what APN you need to use. It's kind of like a gateway, but it uses a name, as opposed to the ip address.
3. Set up a new connection using Celluar GPRS as the modem.
4. The phone will ask for the APN...
5. Try to go online with any app. It may ask you for your login, pass, and domain. Enter the stuff if needed. Some carriers (T-Mobile) don't require it.
6. Hit OK.
Good luck.
Internet Explorerer & GPRS Connection
I have a SX56. I get a good connection infact I can do everything (Ping,nslookup,NTP,DNS) But Explorer comes back with PAGE NOT FOUND (or something like it). I use ATT Wireless. Anybody, Somebody please.
Connecting To The Internet Via GPRS
Since installing the xda-developers special edition rom I can no longer access the Internet either. The Start... Settings... Autoconfig didn't have the USA- AT&T autoconfig settings. Start... Programs... GSM Band shows "Current: ERROR."
I've spoken w/ several AT&T techs and even reviewed all their webpages to re-set up the GPRS Connection, localhost settings, proxy settings, etc. The message from Internet Explorer is ""The page you are looking for cannot be found."
Anyone know the fix for what the special edition rom didn't have for AT&T service on autoconfig? I believe this is what is blocking Internet Explorer from accessing anything.
Connecting To The Internet Via GPRS
Be ABSOLUTELY SURE OF THE MODEL number you have. I used the Special Edition ROM from this forum and I ended up w/ Start... Settings... Device Info... Identity = PW10A1. My model was PW10B1. I couldn't upgrade properly w/ the Siemens free WM2003 upgrade after that.
I was finally able to upgrade to WM 2003 when I "cooked" my own ROM at http://xda.weblink.net. At the top of the screen, watch the large "space used" bar. If you've selected too many things to put in your new ROM file, it'll be overcooked and turn red. If necessary, uncheck some things you've selected. At the bottom of the screen, it's ESSENTIAL the NBF header string PW10A or PW10B matches your model number. Otherwise, the upgrade MAY NOT work, but it depends on how you install the cooked ROM file.
I used the xdatools-jeff.exe file avail in this forum @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=2189&highlight=xdatools. Scroll down to see the word NOTE in red ink for XDAtools link. When you move your mouse over it, a little window will open and at the bottom is "Download."
When you save this file on your computer, it'll install files on your computer. One I found in C:\Program Files\XDAtools\binaries was OSImageTool.exe. (I put it on my desktop to find easily.) When you click this OSImageTool, a screen opens up like the one you'll see in the forum at the link above. I clicked the three dots to the rt of the Source drop down box, navigated to my cooked ROM (saved it in my documents as an .nbf file), then selected the Destination box and chose "Device Memory (via Programme A)." Then I clicked Copy in the OSImageTool box.
I'm not sure if it'll always work this way for all XDA's, but after the copy to ROM was done, the Upgrade Utility started itself (!) and started to install the cooked ROM. I followed instructions to leave the XDA connected. When done (5-7 min), I undocked the XDA & shut if off w/ the unscrewed tip of my stylus in the smaller "no battery" hole (bottom rt of the XDA). After a FULL minute, I turned it back on and followed the prompts. VOILA! WM2003 w/ full Internet access AND it didn't seem to mess w/ the radio stack (I still have a good signal). GOOD LUCK! But do more reading on this site before you proceed.

Virgin UK Network Settings CAB file

I know that there have been requests for this so here we are.
The attached ZIP file contains the CAB to automatically configure GPRS and MMS connections for the Virgin UK network. It has been successfully tested on an XDA II and SPV M1000, both of which are running 2003 SE. I don't have a pre-2003 or Mobile 5 device to try it on so I don't know if it works on them.
The 2 connections which are set up are called:
Virgin GPRS - this has been configured to also allow MSN Messenger to be used.
Virgin MMS
Before using it, I would advise the removal of any existing GPRS and MMS connection settings (though the choice is obviously yours). I would also advise to check that your happy with all of the MMS options/settings following the install (e.g. Save Sent messages is switched off with this CAB).
At last - God knows what i was doing wrong but with this cab and some manual setup of the Connection side of thing i have managed to send an MMS.
This CAB setup the MMS side perfectly (nothing on GPRS) - as i was typing from what i can gather ok for IP i was using the full xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and server name i had put goto.virginmobile.uk whereas this cab just say picture message (not sure if this would cause and issue), but i am doing the connection via: My Work Network as thats where i setup the GPRS, rather than internet.
My Mobile is a Voda Compact III 1605, running HTC Rom 1.35 with windows mobile 5 - and have sent my 1st MMS after trying over a few days!
thanks
How do I install this cab file?
Copy the CAB file to your device and execute it...
sbgorner, you rule!!!

Remove old network connections before installing the CAB
The CAB file does really rely on the fact that there are no existing network specific connection details installed on the XDA. The best way to ensure that old network connections are not affecting the Virgin settings is to delete them, i.e. ensure that only the standard "My ISP" and "My Work Network" entries are still present.
1) Go to Start->Settings and on the "Connections" tab, tap on the Connections icon.
2) Tap on the "Advanced" tab.
3) Tap on the "Select Networks" button.
4) Use the drop-down arrow to select an entry (do not select "My ISP" or "My Work Network").
5) Tap on the "Edit..." button.
6) Tap on the "General" tab.
7) Tap on the "Delete Settings" icon.
8) Repeat steps 4 to 7 until all of the entries (do not select "My ISP" or "My Work Network") have been removed.
Having removed all of the network specific connection entries, try reinstalling the Virgin UK cab file again and everything should work.
You diamond. Just sent Virgin a bollocking. They suggested I contact O2 about setting this up. Your cab file much appreciated by a middle aged member.
Thanks
Will try!
Much appreciated!

Just tried this after a week of trying various settings, now got access to gprs, thanks.
I have followed your instructions but after running the CAB file the VArio II still doesn't connect. If I click on the edit settings link it doesn't think there are any settings, as I only have the option to install a new ISP. However if I try to manually install a new ISP using the name Virgin GPRS it won't let me as it says a connection already exists with that name, but nowhere can I find any trace of that connection. What is going on please?

I'm in exactly the same position with my O2 XDA mini S.
I could possibly try using a different ISP name but I'd rather find out why this is happening and delete the connections made by the CAB file. As I can't find the connections though I can't delete them.
Ok, Time for an update.
Using Virgin GPRS2 didn't work and I've found out how to remove the setting created by the CAB file. I went to add and remove programs and removed the changes that way.
I have followed the instructions from this thread to no avail. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=238042&highlight=virgin+gprs
I'll keep plodding along but if someone can offer any suggestions i'd lve to hear them.
Ps. Don't be rude.
Hi Bouncypete
I also discovered that I could get rid of the bad settings using remove programs, but am also no further forward in finding the correct settings. I have sent a private email to sbgorner (he doesn't appear to subscribe to any forums) but have not had a reply. Anybody else out there got any ideas?
Virgin GPRS settings
Hi Bouncypete -success!!!
I have found an older posting from sbgorner which gives a blow by blow manual way of doing the settings and it works!!.
I will try and attach this as a pdf, but if the attachment doesn't come through then email me and I will send it to you direct
ran VirginUK.CAB - no settings added
I deleted all the old gprs etc connection settings and ran CAB file, but get no settings visable in network connections just "my isp" and my work network". When I try and enter settings manually I get to the "modem" new page and enter Virgin GPRS or MMS select Cellular GPRS/3G and next and it tell me I'm adding a duplicate setting although there are no settings visible. This happens after removing the CAB settings that make no difference in remove programs? Any Ideas apart from clearing the phone down?
Thanks for the pdf link - sorted me & my orbit out

Virgin settings on M3100?

I have recently moved from orange to virgin and they cannot help me set up my M3100 for internet, picture messaging, email etc.
Has anyone done this and can they tell me how to do it. I tried the Virgin Cab posted on this site but it didn't work.
Virgin gave me the settings over the phone but I haven't had any success putting them in manually.
I miss being able to email etc
Help please
Elaine
Since you've moved Networks, your old network connections are probably still present on your device. I know you tried the CAB file to install the Virgin network connections and it's probably due to the presence of the old network details that the CAB failed to work for you.
If you want to try manually configuring the network connection details then see this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=238042
Alternatively, I've updated my CAB post to detail how to remove old network connections before installing the CAB file:

Hopefully one of the above will get your device connected again.

WiFi uses GPRS Proxy - Fix without removing Proxy?

I've got GPRS and WiFi working perfectly.
However, everytime I switch between WiFi and GPRS, I got to reentern/remove the proxy server.
My GPRS REQUIRES the use of the proxy, so there's no going around that, and there are no unlimited data plans on the non-proxy access point [face_cry]
I've looked through both HowardForums (where I am from, I've been a Symbian user until now) and here for already existing info.
Aside from finding tons of people who couldnt get the wifi to work because of the proxy, none of those threads gave a solution that included KEEPING the proxy server for GPRS.
If there is a thread with the information to get WiFi to NOT use the GPRS proxy, just link me to the thread and Ill figure out the rest on my own
Thnx! Hope I'll get my post count increased fast so I'm not considered as a post-and-leave user.
of course u can keep the the proxy server for GPRS and surf the internet via wifi ~~
but pity that my device's interface is in chs & my broken english
(if i misunderstand ur thread,dont brick me )
u can fix it ,follow below
start menu--setting---connection--connetion,or u can see my device' captures pic1
(i dont really sure if ur device is that path,i just translated it from chinese to english)
select the icon in green (pic1)
a new window like pic2,just do it
and the key step in pic3:
the two places in red circle
dont select ur wap setting ,select my isp or my network is ok
when u want to connect internet via gprs,u rechange to ur gprs setting
enjoys
oh I understand what you mean. Yes that way I dont have to retype my proxy addresses.
Sadly, it's still not automated from what I see
I'll have to make a shortcut for that section.
Thanks woohyuksheng!
Cingular proxy cabs
Cingular has a set of cab files that enable/disable the proxy settings. if you search this forun you will find then. they are also in the latest cingular rom, black 3.0, and custel 1.3.
if you are not on cingular you could try and edit the cab files with your carrier info.
give it a try.

Setting up GPRS and MMS for O2 (pay and go)

Hi,
I've just upgraded my Blue Angel (O2 XDA IIs) to Xplode's latest WM6 ROM and its working perfectly appart from MMS and GPRS.
I've installed both MMS cab files and I can compose an MMS message, but when I try to send the message, it will say sending, but the message will remain in the outbox and it will never get sent.
Similarly, I cannot access the internet through Internet Explorer with GPRS.
Can anybody please tshow me exactly how to setup my Blue Angel for this?
Thankyou,

Your first problem seems to be GPRS setting. If that is not set properly, even MMS will not work.
GPRS: I am not familiar with O2 parameters, but you need to go to Settings > Connections > Connections and MY ISP and create a new or manage an existing connection. Parameters needed are : Connection name, modem of Cellular Line(GPRS), access point name, User Name (O2 's GPRS users name), and password.
This should be enough to set your GPRS settings.
Once this is set, you need to setup MMS. Open Messaging, then Menu > Options > click on MMS. Go to Servers Tab and click New, here you need to set Server name, Gateway, port number, server address and most important is the connect via, set My ISP (GPRS connection name). You are all set and set this MMS as your default.
Install HTC Network Wizard, go to Settings-Connections-Network Wizard, choose your country and operator, soft reset and voila!
DANDANA is right , it will work for you.
But as we know Network Wizard has limited list of operators so for example it is useless to me and i have to perform all of the settings manually, because my operator is not on the list

Whilewe are on the mms/gprs subject:
at the moment, i have 2 settings on my gprs connection 1. gprs wap (internet) 2. mms
the way it works is, if i need to connect t internet then i need to set up connection to gprs wap MANUALLY, and the same thing for mms.
the problem is if my connection is set up on gprs, and there is an incoming mms, it fails to receive automatically.
how can i set it up automatically? I know there is "AUTO PICK" option, but I tried it before and it doesnt work.... or does it?
how do you guys set this up?
Thanks
Try this CAB
Or you can try to use Schap's Operator settings....
