hi all,
somone told me today there is a device or software(he claimed upon a pad)that had gprs but if you put a lot of postcodes in it would work out a route (example you put in 20 postcodes and you start area and it would work out the best overall route,so if wud put them in the best seqeunce.not matter what order they were entered

Here's the deal, I have a T-Mobile prepaid sim and I've already checked the (dutch) t-mobile website. It states that GPRS should work fine with a prepaid card ad you do not need to buy another card. However, no matter what I do, I can't request the GPRS settings or get what i do get working fine..
Help would be greatly appreciated
tons of people ask the same questions in here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewforum.php?f=11
as far as i know it all comes down to knowing the access point of ones phonecompany and possibly a signon name and pass (it's rare that it's used though)
if you dont see anybody asking the same question as you,
just try the next page or do a search excluded to that forum
containing something like "tmobile grps"
thnx for the reply, but I guess you didn't figure that I'm one of those people that can handle a search button.. Alas I didn't find anything that could be of any help though...
I did in the mean time develop a second problem, the XDA2 now reads the card a lot slower than before..
Is there a possibility that the card is malfunctioning? It's not the XDA, I've checked it with a Orange sim-card and it worked fine...
odd how is it slow ?
the sim contacts ?
login ?
personaly when i had to get grps working i phones my cellphone company and they said it would be on within 45mins (that it really took 3 days is beside the question )
then i went into connections and made a connection which i gave the name grps (but you can call it what ever you like)
then i choose cellphone (gprs) as connection
then i typed in the access point which i my case were just "internet"
then i opened IE then it pop'd up with a login name and password then i dident type anything and press'd ok then i were online
this is the default manual way of doing it
of cause i cant say if some phone companys do it different and
i know nothing of tmobil they are not even present as a company in this country, so sorry if i cant be of more help when it comes to the strange ways of tmobile
It takes a really lopng time with my sim to get a connection to the network, the coverage is good (checked it with my phone and another pda with t-mobile as well) and basically untill that time i can't load the sim-manager or anything.. nothing too bad, I just have to wait 5 minutes before the sim is loaded
cant you just destroy the sim and call for another and hopefully newer type which dont give issues ?
Well, for some weird reason my sim seems to be working fine again, still leaves the issue of trying to get GPRS working with pre-paid tho...
Does anyone know how to get the MSISDN of a Wallaby or Himalaya device?
I think it depends on the network you are connected to. On my phone, it is on top in my main phone setting page where you can select a ringtone.
I should have said that I want to be able to get it programatically.
I have 2 devices at the moment an M1000 on Orange and an XDAII on O2 UK.
I'm starting to get close to it, but haven't got a solution yet. It's mainly this code. (Look for "Accessing SIM Information")
The trick is to change the address from 6f46 (Service Provider Name) to 6f40 (MSISDN). A list of possible addresses is available here: http://umtslink.at/cgi-bin/reframer.cgi?../GSM/simkarte_elementardateien.htm
(It's german but I think you'll get it anyway)
The problem that I still have is to access the read data correctly, so that I actually get this number.
Let me know if you found out some more. I'll keep you informed, too.
Hi there,
Santa was very kind to me and dropped Tomtom 6 down my chimney, for use on my Vario. Sadly, despite several attempts at installing it, the program hangs ar various junctures, most commonly the start up screen (but i have got as far as registering it just before it went south again)...
I have reset, both soft and hard, but to no avail...
Any thoughts or suggestions would be warmly appreciated...
Yours, Rob the Newbie.
Hi Rob
Santa was also kind enough to drop the same to me. I have to confess it works ok - once the bluetooth connection with the GPS got sorted.
I've got the software on the card - plugged it in, navigated to the card and selected the start icon, which installed it and then it just works when I put the card in
Iain
Hi Rob, Can you please explain a bit more in detail that what have you got? where have you installed the TomTom? etc.
Sidd
thanks for your help so far everyone...
Iain, TomTom comes preloaded on a mini SD card, the product description can be found here: http://www.tomtom.com/products/product.php?ID=281&Category=2&Lid=1
All the instructions tell me to do is:
1. insert miniSD card
2. Devices autoruns .cab file (sometimes)
3. Set preferences
4. Register product
Sometimes it get up to step 3, it goes up to step 4 after a hard reset sporadically.
Any thoughts?
Many thanks, Rob.
Rob do you know that your device must have to be connected to the internet either GPRS or WiFi prior to go to the TomTom Registration process so the software can send and recieve the registration information from the TomTom server.
As you are saying that you are ok till point 3 but getting stuck on point 4, its seems like your is definetelly not connected to the internet. Connect either WiFi or GPRS and start TomTom, go to registration and it will automatically listen the connection type whatever is on. Thats it
2. I am assuming that you have already got a GPS device (bluetooth or cradle based) to catch the Satellite signals, no offence but there are few fellows who did have bought/arrange the TomTom software without knowing that they MUST need a GPS device as well.
GoodLuck & let me know
Sidd

Enough with the double posting please; post your question in one forum and check back. Don't go around the forum posting it in every subforum you can find.
Hi All
I'm looking for some help please!
I have fitted a Chinese Android Head Unit to my car. I have a 4G/Wi-Fi modem into which I have fitted an O2 Pay-as-You-Go SIM Card. The SIM card connects to the HU by USB, but rather oddly the modem uses Wi-Fi to connect to the Head Unit (for some reason not using the faster and more reliable USB, but that's not the question).
So, I can connect to the Internet and use up the time on the SIM card - that's all OK, but, O2 will only top up the card or tell me the outstanding credit if I answer a text message that they send to the SIM card - which of course has no idea what to do with a text as it isn't in a mobile phone. Their security question is "what is your most dialled number ?" - but I don't ever dial out. So I have to top up blind by going to the O2 shop and handing over cash!
The 4G/Wi-Fi modem is now in the cars roof column so not easy to get at!
Do you have any suggestions as to how I can top-up? My ideas were:
a) Find an app that turns the Head Unit into a mobile phone that can receive and make texts
b) I know that the 4G/Wi-Fi modems you plug into laptops come with software that allow the provider to connect directly (without texts). Is there one of these for Android?
Hopefully I am just not looking in the right places - I don't want any solution to involve my mobile phone as the idea is that my car can support me if I lose my phone.
Cheers
James
Well.. I just googled "02 sim top up"
seems like auto-top up is a thing. and it seems that you can install a "my o2" app, on the headunit or phone, and see the balance on there..
maybe have to put the sim in another device to get a text to link it to a account or something.
Hi pafo42
That was easy - thanks, I'll give it a try.
I did go on line to O2 and consulted two of their 'Gurus' on different occasions. Suffice it to say they were completely useless. Well I'm assuming that they are Gurus in the sense of an authorititve teacher, but I guess they are Gurus in the sense of being Hindu Spiritual Leaders and so have no particular knowledge of Mobiles and Android, etc.
It will be interesting to see if my Head Unit comes up with the same display as a phone - not sure about the fingerprint part either but it is an avenue to explore.
I also searched Google play for an app but I guess I failed there!
Cheers
James
