GPRS AND PASSWORDS

I have an XDA 1 and have been trying to connect to the Internet with various SIMS.
I notice that when I insert a password, or in some mobile providers cases, leave it blank, the password box is filled with asterisks. Is this causing the problem of not being able to connect?
How do I get the asterisks to disappear if they are causing the problem?

Gill, don't get excited about this reply as I can't help with your query!
I just wanted to ask you if you have found a solution for connecting to the internet using the XDA1?
I have an XDA1 on pay as you go with O2, I don't subscribe to the GPRS service but have read somewhere here that it might be possible to connect to the internet for nowt! It's ths nowt that I like.
If you do find a solution, I'd be grateful if you could share it.
Regards
John

Hi John
I have not found a way to connect to the Internet yet with the XDA 1 and O2 pay as you go. It's very annoying. I have managed to get some sort of WAP site but it's from 2003. It is using up money fromy my O2 card although I apparently get 1MB free of GPRS. I certainly have not browsed through 1MB of web pages.
I also have not heard of the NOWT thing - pity - I hope I find it as it sounds good to me.
If I do find a solution, I shall probably collapse in shock and won't be able to use my XDA! Only joking - I shall let you know!
I now you can browse the Internet on the XDA 1 as I have seen it done today with Virgin Mobile Pay as you go!
Regards
Gill

XDA 1 SOFTWARE
I have posted many messages this week regarding O2 and conncting to the Internet with an XDA 1 and a Pay as you go O2 SIM.
I have mentioned that, when I do connect, it connects to an out of date service from 2003. I wonder if the software on the XDA 1 needs upgrading in order for me to connect to the Internet?
Can anybody help?
Thank you.

Thanks for the reply Gill
I'm sure we'll find a way with all the help available on here. I know I've seen the details posted somewhere but didn't make a note!!
Have fun
John

I can get full internet access with the xda 1 and a payg sim on O2. Please message me as I dont wish O2 to slam the door on this.

Pocket MSN signing in FAILED !!

I've tried to sign in into msn messenger using pocket msn, but failed using WIFI ... any other website has openned wonderfully, but the signing in process to the messenger still fails ?? what can i do to get it done ?

I tried for ages yesterday too and it also failed everytime :-(

Same here , will update this post once ii figure out why , nice tidbit is that im experiencing this with both the Original M3000 ROM and the new I-Mate ROM

It's been happening on my MDA Compact too, so its certainly not a phone issue - only over WiFi (which used to work) - can still log in over GPRS. can't download my HotMail box either! Everything else working fine over WiFi.

I had the same problem untill i change the date and time the correct time;-)

im also having problems signing in Pocket MSN over GPRS...

I had the same problem too, until I signed in using gprs, then went back to wifi, and everything went fine.

Same problem here (I'm using the Qtek 8310 / SP5). MSN mobile doesn't always appear to be up, shame considering they charge $10 to sign up for it!

it's free; how come you say they do charge $10 to sign up to Pocket MSN !! and i want also to tell that it fails to sign in over GPRS too ... it displays the following message : "The Service isn't Available, Please Try Again Later" .... can anybody log in to Pocket MSN successfully over GPRS and WIFI ?? if yes, plzzzzz guys don't hesitate to help us ... thank you in advance ...

Same problem here for 2 days, i'm trying to connect to PocketMSN via GPRS. I tried about 10 times for successfully login.

you mean at the 10th try you got it working ?

Maybe it wasn't the tenth, but around tenth. 9th, eleven, i don't remember the exact number.

pocket msn u can make it work
hey ppl,
i have imate jasjar, till recently i was also facing a problem like u guys! but thn i discovered something... this is stupid but at times this does work!!! i don't know but what happens with my computer is that it automatically changes the date of my pda by one day... so if u guys check, that might be the same problem with u fella's
as well there is one more issue, ur regional settings should either be oriented to English UK or English US , thn and only then it would work....
if u still have a problem let me know....
cheers...

i had a strange situation when i tried to connect to MSN mobile; through wi fi i couldn't make it work no matter what i tried. BUT...
the strange thing i had is through GPRS, you see.. i'm using 2 SIM cards for 2 operators in Saudi (STC AL JAWWAL, & MOBILY) when i try to connect through STC SIM card i see hell before i can connect (if i could anyway) but when i use the MOBILY SIM, it connects even very fast.
could the service provider block this service?

Ok , managed to get it working with GPRS now , the thing im experiencing is that somehow the MSN Mobile Sign in Service doesn't let you log on unless certain values are set and correct. It gave me messages about Time& Date , Personal Information and some more requests, when i had complied to all of these i was able to sign in through GPRS without trouble. next stop WIFI...
edit : apparantly the other posters are correct regarding the WIFI , once i had logged in througfh GPRs once nothing stopped me from logging onto MSN using WIFI.

Hmm. I had to sign up here for it to work: http://mobile.msn.com/

saldous - :shock:
did you have to pay the £10 ?
cos ....
If Pocket MSN was pre-installed on your device, you do not need to activate it in order to start using it. Just sign in on the device.

Agile Messsenger works ok for me but pocket msn wont sign in anymore
says Pockcet msn Sign-in Failed
any know another program like Agile Messsenger as I really need 2 of my msn's signed in when am out and about
Thanks
PayableOnDeath

I believe I have a solution
hi every one, just got on this board....its great!
Now back to the issue msn messenger.
Paying to activate messenger? no need for that, it is already installed correctly, so in fact you already payed for it.
Now how to solve the problem: the problem mostly lies in your gprs settings: if you take a look at your gprs settings in your connections.
there should be a username and password installen (both are mostely your operator: so for instance if your operator is t-mobile, password and username are "t-mobile").
I know this sounds rediculous, because even if internet explorer works fine with the standard settings, for the protocol used by msn a password is needed.
Good luck!! it worked for me and many other users I know with a mda vario/ qtek 9100
Alex

finally i got it working !!
I've got it working, finally ........ there's no tweak at all, just you guys keep trying .....

Re: finally i got it working !!
Hmm
I'm having the same problem (TMO MDA Vario) - ships with msn messenger.
I've had it work once (when connected to my pc for activesync), but now it doesn't. Wifi, GPRS, nothing seems to work :-(.

Not able to sign in to pocket MSN

Hi,
At last i got my T-mobile Vario II connect to the network, so today i was testing my 3g connection, so i tried signing onto pocket msn but it keeps telling me unable to sign in please retry i've tried over wifi/3g but nothing is tmobile blocking msn?
I've unlocked the phone with the tools provided on this forum, so don't know if anythign else changed.
I would appreciate any help, as i was looking foward for this feature , one of the reason to get web n walk.
Thanks
Hugo

I currently have this problem too, but i was (and have been using it since i got my vario2) using it fine last night. Probably a temp thing.
Imp

it's good to know, just wondering did pocket msn come with your vario 2 from tmobile? Coz i swear when i got it i didn't even see it there but when i unlocked the phoned with the software i noticed it was there. Maybe i'm seeing things.
So your sugestion is to keep trying?

Hey yes I have this problem too. I couldn't sign in to Hotmail as well.

I had this as well. Can't log in with the built in MSN Messenger. Agile Messenger works perfectly, though. That said, I tried it last night while trying to get my Hotmail access set up, and it worked for the only time in 2 weeks.
Nobody here has said which version of WNW they're on, so I'll assume basic. Some people (including sales people at T-Mob) have said that this is blocked on the basic package, despite it not being explicitly blocked in the T&Cs (falling under the "other" unallowed). Depends what exactly you signed up to and when though, I guess.

I'm on the basic one! £7.50 Web "n" Walk! Will not be too happy as i was informed by customer services before buying that it was allowed.
If it is blocked then i got to have a word with them about getting it unblocked.

I didn't say it is blocked, just that I've been told that it is. Then again, I've been told that it's not, and IIRC the change to the W'n'W T&Cs last month removed specific mention of MSN Messenger as disallowed.
Maybe it's nothing.

For some reasone I can connect to Pocket MSN perfectly last night. Don't know, maybe when I tried it the first time it was a one off thing.

Got it working, had extra letter in user name. dough! (simpson mode)

also another thing to note. I experience problems with the Pocket MSN when I turn on the Proxy settings for internet connection for my GPRS/3G. Lucky my provider seems to work without proxy as well.

Msn had been working fine, and then it stopped and could not connect for a few hours yesterday, leading em to belieb there is issue with msn servers.
I'll have a look at the proxy later, still new phone don't want change alot of things just yet eheh

Can't connect here either!
Hi
Had the same problem here for several days, can't log into Messenger on my Vario II - anybody got any ideas what's up?

T-mobile wap will not work after flashing dutty's 6.1 rom

I've spent countless hours on the phone with T-mobile customer care, days searching the net. I tried basically every single setting possible and no matter what I do I can't connect to the internet or send MMS on my Tilt at all. Does anyone have any Idea how to get wap or mms working for t-mobile on windows mobile 6.1?

I'm hoping that you already have a data plan, if not then you might want to add it by calling the Tmobile or just add it by logging through the website. This is what I use on mine:
Go to Start>Settings>Connections>Add or Manage new connection and on Access Point Name (APN) wap.voicestream.com and hit next and just click finish.
Good Luck

thanks for the help

I had the 5.99 t-zones package which worked fine on windows mobile 6.0. After flashing 6.1 It wouldn't work and I do have the access point set to wap.voicestream.com, I'm not one to just post a question without doing my research. I tried numerous different settings and followed numerous tutorials but nothing works. I finally resorted to ordering the $19.99 Internet package and oddly it works just fine now, instead of using the access point wap.voicestream.com I changed it to internet2.voicestream.com for the 19.99 internet plan. It sucks however that I have to pay 15 dollars a month extra to enjoy what I paid only 5.99 a month for before. The reason why I don't switch back to WM 6.0 is because I have grown accustomed to the threaded sms and it's a feature I really don't want to give up. I know there's threaded sms application but nothing can compare to having it built in. If anyone has a fix for this or can give some idea's please do. I'd much rather revert back to paying 5.99 a month as opposed to the 19.99 I began paying a month today.

this is a cab file I made for the tmo $5.99 plan and arscsoft mms 4.2.8.1. It works on my wm6 rom. Maybe it'll work for you.

I will give it a try now, I have to call T-mobile and have them switch me back to the 5.99 plan. I've got my fingers crossed.
::EDIT::
After I installed your .cab file and had t-mobile switch my plan to the 5.99 t-zones it now WORKS!! Flawlessly. Dude you don't know how many threads I came across with so many people that had the same problem and just could not get this working. Maybe you should make it's own thread for this that I can link people to with the same problem, that way you'll get the credit for you work and people from other forums can be directed to xda-developers.
Again thank you for this, I really appreciate it!

Good Idea, I originally posted these in Lurches thread but he has removed his, and these were buried pretty deep.

newbie: t-mobile internet on at&t tilt

I have been trying to get internet for my new at&t tilt , but on my t-mobile account. I purchased the 19.95 internet service and was on the phone with t-mobile for 4 hours and no luck .
I then started to search the internet and came across a posting that talked about the same t-mobile internet issue that I am having. Some one replied to his posting and told him to download this :t-mobile_usa_vpn_uni_sa_v3.0.cab.
I tried and success. I was searching through the net downloading a few things on my phone when then i get a call. I hang from my call tried to get back to the internet and no luck . It worked when i downloaded that file but it will not let me anymore. Back to square one .
Can any one help me with my problem ?
I never had to mess with my phone to unlock it and download software to use the internet. This is my first time and I don't know what the heck im doing.
Please help..Much thanks to everyone that replys
