First time I have posted although I have done quite a lot of reading today ............
I have just purchased a new i-mate. Previously I have owned iPAQ 2650 and 5555. I find the i-mate to be a very promising device.
One problem has manifested itself though. My cell supplier provided me an i-mate, not an O2 XDA II, but on the O2 network. When attempting to set up the GPRS I found it a bit tough going and called O2 support which informed me that the O2 XDA II had an essintial piece of software that enabled the owner to easily configure WAP and GPRS setting. Obviously my i-mate does not have that software and we proceded to configure manually. The O2 tech said that in the future I was likely to experience trouble with GPRS as a result of not having the configuration software.
I am having trouble already today by virtue of connection trouble and a reluctance to load web pages and my AOL.
I notice that O2 has a ROM upgrade on their site. Does anyone know what the result of me upgrading my i-mate with this software will be?
Has anyone else had any similar problems?
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Wes
I have an XDAII which I have set up GPRS on both Vodafone and o2 in the UK. I have also set up an imate in the UK for Vodafone. I assume you should have no problem setting up a GPRS connection for o2. Check the forum for the GPRS settings for o2, and set up in Connections. The imate manual has instructions on how to do this. If you get stuck send a post.
Maybe somebody could help me to connect XDA IIs with Meteor SIM to GPRS internet (ISP).
Thank you.
same here...
meteor help line is no use at all! "we don't support phones which we don't sell" what da hell? leave alone windows mobile devices - the never heard about them..
they got me really pissed off, so I rang them every day, until some superviser told me that he personally (!) will contact Qtek manufacturers and get the instruction on how to set up ISP GPRS manually... well we'll see
any updates I will post here
p.s. i have qtek s200 btw
OK I am guessing neither of you even attempted to google for meteor gprs settings, because the very first result gives you the wap, mms, and internet settings you need.
Hi i reset my phone and i have lose the orange setting for the internet and for the mms setting if anyone could help me get it fixed thanks
:?:
Hi and i like to welcome my self to this forum it great so far 8)

Hi,
I recently obtained an HTC Hermes (MDA Vario II) which I am using with a contract O2 UK SIM card. It's working fine for voice and SMS and the WiFi data connectivity is also OK but I can't connect to O2 GPRS because I don't have the right settings for WAP.
O2 won't give them to me as I'm supposed to get them by running the "get settings" program flashed onto the device, obviously I have the wrong version as the device was originally sold by T-mobile.
If anyone's got working settings for network connectivity and MMS on O2 UK I would be most grateful if you could post them.
Cheers.

The O2 Payg settings are here:

The rest I can post later if needs be, but they are reasonably easily Googled.

Here is a cab file I use for O2 uk settings, it can be set up for PAYG or monthly contract.
@BOZ
That's just too easy, in my day you'd have to fetch out a stack of punch cards - nowadays it's a cab file for this an exe for that! What's the world coming to!
Mike
Hi Mike, using the cab file instead of inputting by hand means I save enough time to make a nice mug of tea!

Once you memorise the settings, enterring manually is down to a fine art hehe

I will stick to the mug of tea, my other half thinks I am super glued to my pc, at least a cuppa keeps her sweet, especially as I am pulling that new Russian rom apart.
I have recently unlocked my Prophet and am using it on O2. I spent ages getting the GPRS and MMS settings to work (have now re-flashed WM5 NVID ROM because I had too many problems with WM6).
When I finally got the MMS settings working, I found that photos sent to the device were reduced to 78x160 pixels and a very poor colour depth. Initially I thought it could have been my Hermes that I was sending it from, but then I read that O2 will 'determine your device capabilities' when delivering MMS. This made me think that it was a problem with O2 not recognising the phone and delivering MMS in 'safe' format.
After poking around at the O2 extended ROM for the XDA Mini S, I have found a fix.
There are 2 registry values that you need to change:-
1) HKLM\Software\Arcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\mm1\WspHeader\Profile
Code:
http://www.htcmms.com.tw/gen/wizard-1.0.xml
(the actual text, not the contents of the page - for some reason the forum won't let me remove the link lol)
2) HKLM\Software\Arcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\mm1\WspHeader\User-Agent
Code:
Xda Mini S/arcsoft-mmsua-3.0.0.xx
This fools the O2 server into thinking your phone is an XDA Mini S (which is not much of a lie). You will now get MMS in full size and full colour (providing you've got your connection and MMS service working).
Hope this helps someone because it took me ages to find the problem
Brilliant, been searching around for a fix for months. Have since moved on to unlocked SPV M700 and exactly the same problem (with O2 MMS).
genius m8, have just changed setting on M700 and hey presto full size mms!
glad it helped - i was searching for ages too (well seemed like ages, was 5 hours lol)

Hi , I also have unlocked prophet on o2 but I cannot get pic messaging to work at all.I have spent the last week trawling round everywhere for various settings.Have tried the whole manual thing and various cabs.I am seriously thinking of changing to orange or T mobile !!!!!! Could you share your settings by any chance. I am also reluctant to ring o2 because they tell you its not a supported device and I had all this trouble with my sim free imate jam in the beginning !!!!!
What ROM version are you using?
I will post my settings shortly...

Hiya Burnes,
Its the original orange rom but I unlocked it with lokiwiz and I can use my payg O2 sim as phone and sms . I haven't got round to trying a new rom yet coz there are so many and I'm confused about the hard/soft spl stuff and worried about bricking it!!!! . My M600 is G4 and the start up settings are as follows
IPL 2.10.0001
SPL 2.10.0001
GSM 02.07.20
OS 2.10.1.22
WIN MOB 5
OS 5.1.195
BUILD 14847.2.0.0
I think I have got the correct mms settings but I think its the connection thats causing me the probs. Today I managed to "send"the messages and o2 took the money off my account but the messages only went to the outbox not the sent box.
Cheers for your help so far. o2 says muy card is set up for pic msg but I am getting mighty fed up with the whole thing!!!! : (
well done sir, going to change the settings on my Herald now!
Does anyone know the reg fix to enable you to add/remove mms settings?
@ burnes
thanks for this reg tweak. Been looking for something like this for ages.
Works a treat on my TyTN II.
Thanks again
k-c
In relation to my problem:
In your registry goto:
HKLM/SOFTWARE/Arcsoft/ArcSoft MMS AU/Config/UI
There you will find a key called "EnableServerEdit" set it to 1 and you will be able to edit the server settings.

I'm really not sure about the connections. Took me ages to get the connections working, but I didn't figure out what it is that I changed. What I can tell you is:
Network Wizard wouldn't save the settings
Manual settings (from FileSaveAs) connected and MMS got to 99% but no further
I messed about with so many settings that I really can't remember how I got it working. Sorry I can't help more, but have a look at FileSaveAs, just search for 'O2 MMS GPRS Settings' on Google.
Hiya Burnes, thanks for lookin for the settings for me . I know exactly what you mean. There are so many variables and I did exact same thing. Finally got round to emailing o2 3 times with no reply, phoning them twice and gave up. Got an orange payg sim, registered it within 2 hours , put money on it. got the settings from orange website and sent mms no probs. Also can access internet too, so after about 10 years I left o2 and my number changes over later this week !!!!! Im free at last!!!
PS , I also managed to hard spl the SPV M600 and have upgraded with Cloudyfa's wonderful WM6.1 Shadow rom. It seems to be very stable, battery normal my sony DR-BT20NX bluetooth stereo headphones work fine with media player and tcpmp what more could I want ?
Well I will be putting my settings for O2 on my WM Wiki site this week. As it's only a sideline at the moment, I haven't had much time. I will post a message here when I have figured aout the correct settings.
Glad you got it working in the end!
Hi Guys,
i reliase that is an xda forum and covers xda topics but i am experiencing the exact same problem on a Samsung D880. this phone is not supported or avialable in the UK. i have only had it two days and thought it was faulty! i have played with all sorts of settings but no joy. i have checked all the mms settings. Is there anyway i can fool the 02 network into thinking this is a differnt Samsung model??
Cheers

Samsung devices are not Windows Mobile based. I wouldn't have thought that there is a way, but I doubt anyone here has one to look at never mind knowing enough about them to do it.
Try finding a website that specialises in Samsung phones.

i realise that and like you say its not going to be as doing it on a windows based phone. Cant seem to find a Samsung specialist website.
Silly question but can those that experienced this problem on O2 before the fix did you try picture messsaging using T-mobile, Orange or Vodafone? Did you have the same problems with these networks.?
Problem exists on o2 Uk only - I set up an spv m600 for a neighbour on voda and tested the mms settings, picture received full size whereas my wifes on o2 always tiny pictures until this reg hack applied have used this hack on my wifes new spv m700 (Trinity) running latest WM6.1 MARY Rom and it works on that too.

Cheers! i just confirmed this my sending an mms to the phone with a T-mobole PAYG sim. Its only a problem with O2. Tried to speak to someone at O2 but was a complete waste of time and they said it was a problem with my phone being a non uk model!twats! not as good as what Samsung told me. He said that Samsung phones can only support picture messages sent to other Samsung phones and and not other manufacturers phones. I told the guy to stop being stupid and put me through to the technical department. His reply - I do work in the technical dept sir! scary!
