UK o2 active - Networking

Hi,
I have a XDA II mini from Australia (magician) (dont htink they were released here) and I just got a o2 PAYG sim.
I want to access the o2 active service, especially the streetmaps (free until 21 sept i think), but I have no idea how to connect to it to use the service. The o2.co.uk website doesnt say much, and doesnt seem to support any of the o2 xda phones which I think is pretty stupid.
Has anyone been able to access the o2 active service?
I have looked at these two threads
http://forum.xda-developers.com/vie...rder=asc&highlight=problem+o2+uk+gprs&start=0
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=53975
and followed them. My xda says that I have a GPRS connection, although I cant seem to access any webpages except for www.o2.co.uk

best thing you can do to use the device as pre pay is download and instal the mini S ROM upgrade from the o2 XDA WEB site, has auto configure for post and pre pay users

Actually, it was. :wink:
Edit: Now I'm not so sure...
Anyway - go to http://xda.o2.co.uk/ for the information you're after. Why there's no link from the main O2 website is a mystery to me....

will the ROM for the Mini S work on my mini?
I dont think the Mini even uses Windows Mobile 5.0
Has anyone tried this?
I dont want to kill my phone

DO NOT USE IT.
Mini is a Magician, Mini S is a Wizard (WM5). And it has been confirmed that a Magician will not run WM5.

yeah didnt think so...
i think its pretty stupid.
Ive tried installing the o2 active on it, but its a load of bs.
Im not even sure if its the same thing...
ah well... what a waste... looks like i will have to get a new sim... the only reason why i chose o2 was for that streetmaps functionality from o2 active. Their call rates seem pretty expensive compared to the others

OK try one of these
Go to [Start]
Tap [Settings]

O2 PAYG GPRS/Wap Settings on Wizard?

Hello,
newbie here, hopefully you lot can help me out. I searched the forums for a solution for this but can't seem to find it anywhere.
I got the O2 Mini S XDA but I put the 2.16.9.1 WWE Imate Rom on it recently. This all works fine with my O2 pay as you go sim. there's only 1 thing i can't get working; the GPRS/Wap settings. Picture messaging works fine, I use the 'my work network' for this with settings I found on the forum. I just can't get 'my ISP' one configured with the O2 PAYG settings. Can anyone please tell me what to do so I can get this working? Or is it simply not possible with PAYG?
thanks

thanks Faria, i saw that but when I still it to my device it just installs and nothing happens - it does add the program to the 'remove programs' list but it doesn't come up with new connection settings. Do I need to activate it somewhere or am I just completely thick?

thanks for that Rob but aren't those the settings used for MMSing only? I already had these on my XDA but as far as I know these do not work for the 'websurfing'. Perhaps you have any idea how i set this up? Or maybe I'm just doign something wrong?
hi marc i've attached a cab file with the settings in, i've tried it on my mda vario but it didn't work maybe you will have more luck, let me know how it goes coz I'm trying to set up my mms
r
http://www.filesaveas.com/mms.html
hi marc the above link has the settings info you need. The file that was added to your remove programs list enables the MMS configuration in the inbox application used for txt messages and email. i'm going to try the settings myself and will hopefully post back a solution
R
here's how to set up mms for o2 payg
go into inbox, select mms configuration (you may need to install the cab file from below to enable the menu).
next create a new server with the settings from below
Sever name: O2MMSC
Gateway : 193.113.200.195
Port number : 9201
Server address : http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002
Connect via : wap network
Sending limitation : 250K
Wap version 1.2
this will enable mms

help setting up mobile internet (wap/gprs)

Hey guys.
Can someone help me out with this...
I had a tmobile MDA (wizard), i have since upgraded to the Kaiser. But my mum wants to use the old wizard. The wizard is already unlocked (lokiwiz yay) so i just put my mums O2 sim in the phone and it works. But things like going online won't work, i assume i need to enter some settings somewhere. (which settings and where???)
I tried ringing O2 to get the info, but they started asking what phone i had and then they said they didnt have the MDA/Wizard, and so i said a sony erricson just so that she would send info, but when i recieved the text message it was blank or at least appeared blank.
Can someone from here tell me which settings i need to enter and where.
Also i am still running the wizard on the tmobile rom (second one they made for MDA). is there a better rom for me to use.
Thanks guys.

Unfortunately, the sim card controls the internet, texting, and online accesses. By putting your mom's O2 sim in your old wizard doesn't change anything. These sim cards have numbers on them to identify them with the type of device activated for. What you need to do is contact your carrier and explain to them what you said in your post, and get the sim re-activated.
Thanks for the help hotdog.
I'll ring the O2 people again and explain things. Only reason i didn't go into depth with them before was because i thought they would tell me im not allowed to use an O2 sim in an unlocked Tmobile phone.
i have the pay and go settings!!!!

HTC HD (TIM branded) with uk O2 sim and web bolt on

First of all excuse my English, sorry if it is not the right section for posting this. I'm in London and I bought a O2 sim with the "web bolt on" option (7,50 £/month and max 200 mb). But, even if i setup my TIM (telecom italia mobile - I'm Italian) htc touch hd as the "o2 man" tell me to do, it doesn't work anymore.
The setting is this=
apn mobile.o2.co.uk
username o2web
password password
dns 193.113.200.200 /201
is it correct?
Is "web bolt on" option right for my touch hd?
What can I do?
Tnx a lot
I always refer to the following page if I'm having problems.....
http://www.filesaveas.com/gprs.html
Try mobileweb as a username.
It should work OK assuming o2 have enabled everything....

Your settings are correct. I did not input the dns I selected Use Server assigned addresses.
I think the web bolt on is the right choice if you want to be connected all the time. Mind you some apps seem to connect online or want to connect all the time. I am using a Touch Hd
Those settings are for people on o2 contracts, since you are talking about web bolt ons, you must be on pay and go. Here are the settings straight form o2 themselves.
.
*PLEASE NOTE* - All steps must be completed to ensure the settings are correctly configured.
Please ensure that when entering 'O2' into the settings that the letter 'O' is selected and not a zero.
1. Tap 'Start'.
2. Tap 'Settings'.
3. Tap the 'Connections' tab.
4. Tap 'Connections'.
5. Under the 'Mobile Web' section tap 'Add a new modem connection'.
6. Enter name for connection of 'O2 Mobile Web'.
7. Select modem type, choose 'Cellular Line (GPRS , 3G).
8. Tap 'Next'.
9. Enter Access Point Name of 'payandgo.o2.co.uk'.
10. Tap 'Next'.
11. Enter the User name of 'payandgo'.
12. Enter the password of 'password'.
13. Tap 'Advanced'.
14. On the TCP/IP tab, tap 'Use server-asssigned IP address.
15. Tap the 'Servers' tab and tap 'Use specific server address'.
16. Tap on 'DNS' and enter '193.113.200.200'.
17. Tap on 'Alt DNS' and enter '193.113.200.201'.
18. Tap 'OK'.
19. Tap 'Finish'.
20. Under the 'Mobile Web' section tap 'Manage existing connections'.
21. Tap your new connection so it has a spot next to it, this will make it your active settings.
22. Tap 'OK'.

Hello mate yes when I flashed it it did ask for connection set up which I selected O2, the settings are there but dont seem to connect. I searched on here and found this
Go to [Start]

Tap [Edit]. If this is not present tap [Add a new modem connection]
The [Select a Modem] drop-down box should be set to:

Alt DNS: 193.113.200.201
Tap [ok]
Tap [Finish]
The DSN and Alt DSN were not on the phone so I added them as above and then nothing, just wont connect? Above its says the password should be set to PASSWORD but when I do that and tap finish, then go back into it, the password has changed to something longer.
Just cant work it out????
When you come to 'use specific server address' you enter the DSN and Alt DSN address then below that you have WINS and Alt WINS which both have zero's as the address, Do I need to add any thing to these??
