Quick newbie question (GPRS setting o2-uk)

Hi,
Sorry for this is a newbie question...
Should the GPRS settings be installed if I do a non-corperate install?
Mine arnt, and using settings from the web doesnt seem to work. I have used GPRS on my other phone with this sim card, so its data enables. If I put an Orange sim card in the Mini s I can use Oranges` GPRS settings no problem. *But i would really like to stay with o2)
If anyone has a fool-proof step by step guide I would be greatful to see it.
ANY help at all would be greatfully recived!!!
Thanks, Paul
PS I have searched this great forum, but couldnt find anything with an answer.

GPRS
are you sure you have the GPRS connection settings on the phone?
the way to check is go to
START->SETTINGS->CONNECTIONS->CONNCETIONS->ADVANCED->SELECT NETWORKS
here you will see what connection is being used and what other connection are available to be used. if the O2 settings are not there you can add them manually.
add the settings from here:

hope this helps.

Hi, Thanks for the sppedy reply.
If i go...
I have just re-installed to a basic setup
START->SETTINGS->CONNECTIONS->CONNCETIONS->ADVANCED->SELECT NETWORKS
the option in the drop box is My ISP or I can choose M Work Network, should o2 mobile web be in here too?
If i go
START->SETTINGS->CONNECTIONS->CONNCETIONS>MANAGE EXISTIN CONNECTIONS>(this brings you to the My ISP page) i have Name as "Mobile Web" and Number as mobile.o2.co.uk.
If I then edit, the name for the connection is "Mobile Web" with modem as "Cellular line (GPRS) Next>Access pont name is "mobile.o2.co.uk" NEXT> user name "O2web", password is ****************.
Tap ADVANCE>the TCP/IP tab is using server assigned IP address, TAP ON SERVERS TAB>USE SPECIFIC SERVER ADDRESS (DNS 193.113.200.200, alt DNS is 193.113.200.201). Tap OK> FINISH
If i try to connect to the net to look at google (or any other page) the large square G turns smaller with the 2 arrows and I get:
Cannot connect
Dialed mobile.o2.co.uk
Cannot connect for an unknown reason. To check and change settings BLAH BLAH BLAH....
All help appriciated!!!
Thanks, Paul.

ooops!!!
double post

START->SETTINGS->CONNECTIONS->CONNCETIONS->ADVANCED->SELECT NETWORKS select my isp here
START->SETTINGS->CONNECTIONS->CONNCETIONS>MANAGE EXISTIN CONNECTIONS
settings should be
acces point : mobile.o2.co.uk
username : mobileweb

don't bother to enter dns settings as your phone will pick them up

START->SETTINGS->CONNECTIONS->CONNCETIONS->ADVANCED->SELECT NETWORKS select my isp here
<<<these are exactly as you said>>>>
START->SETTINGS->CONNECTIONS->CONNCETIONS>MANAGE EXISTIN CONNECTIONS
settings should be
acces point : mobile.o2.co.uk <<<THIS WAS RIGHT>>>
username : mobileweb <<<THIS WAS O2Web>>>
password : password <This was blanked out ***** but i changed it to password)
Still no-go wouldnt connet with either settings

Stupid question, I don't know the imate site at all - where can you find these settings, specifically Vodafone I'm looking for. I had a browse but couldn't see them.
Thanks,
John

Thanks Waiho.
I am now able to send MMS on my T-Mobile Vario phone with my o2 Sim.
Can I just highlight that should anyone need to do the MMS config part of your instructions. That they will also need to setup the GPRS WAP settings.
Thanks all. You peeps really are appreciated. This website has done what T-Mobile wanted to charge £15 and a 28 day wait, in 1/2 day (remember I am still learning).

I have them here.. If only I knew how to upload them to the FTP Server here.

Login
Login with the following details (both in small letters)
Download User
Username: XDA

The user XDA can download from all folders.
The user XDA can see all folders

To use FTP you can use IE or your fav ftp client, plenty of free ones out there on google, let us know when you have uploaded them. Oh, and name them well & add a txt file saying what they are, where they came from etc.

Many Thanks..

Thanks a lot for the settings, I'll give them a shot later.
Are there any restrictions on incoming message sizes on Vodafone?
I thought it was my P900 that was at fault, it would get to about 47% and then bomb out with an unknown error. But, it received a picture the other day fine, previously it received video messages ok but they were perhaps smaller than the ones I've been sent recently.
The Wizard doesn't have a progress bar but it seems to be doing the same thing, it seems to do nothing for a while then just comes up with an error. It seems to connect to GPRS ok, and remains connected afterwards so I assume the settings are fine.

UK O2 GPRS Pay as You Go Settings?

Hi,
I have tried fiddling around with various different O2 GPRS settings I found on the forums, but I can't seem to any of them to work.
GPRS used to work on my old Nokia fine, and I am using the same SIM card so GPRS should work with my new O2 XDA Mini S phone.
Only problem with the O2 XDA Mini S, is that when you use their GRPS setup program it has Contract selected and Pay as You go is greyed out and you can't select it.
Just wondering if anyone knows the correct settings that works with UK O2 Pay as You Go?
Thanks for any help!

Search under "o2 GPRS settings" and you shall find . . . . . .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=279589&highlight=o2+gprs+settings
The Search function is there for a reason.

Using the first settings on that post I get this error message in Internet Explorer:
The page cannot be displayed or downloaded because the connection was lost. Check the connection and try and later.

The GPRS seems to be connected as you get the little G symbol with 2 arrows saying its connected.
The 2nd setting on that post gives me fails to connect to GPRS and I get the error message from the system saying:
Cannot Connect
Dialed: mobile.o2.co.uk
Cannot connect for an unknown reason. To checked your connection settings and change them if needed, tap Settings. If the problem continues, reset your device according to your manufacturer's documentation and try again.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The O2 site doesn't list the O2 XDA Mini S on http://www.o2.co.uk/services/ota4/select and their instructions are to use the O2 GRPS setup program which has Contract selected by default and Pay as You go is greyed out and you can't select it.
The contract settings that it installs by default gives the 2nd error message above.
I think I am pretty much out of ideas?

o2 gprs pay and go settings
The WAP connection uses a proxy server and must be configured under the 'My work network' settings as opposed to the 'My ISP'
Use the following:
Start>Settings>connections>connections
Under my work network select 'add a new modem'
Name - o2 payandgo
Select a modem - Cellular line (GPRS)
Access Point - payandgo.o2.co.uk
Username - payandgo
Password - password
Domain - blank
Hit advanced
Select TCP/IP - Use server assigned IP address
Servers - Use server assigned address
Hit OK and then Finish
Under 'my work network' select 'set up my Proxy'
Tick - This network connects to the internet
Tick - This connection uses a proxy . . .
Hit Advanced
Tap on the WAP field and enter 193.113.200.195 and ensure that the port is set to 9201
OK out of the settings.
Launch the PIE and use the prefix wsp:// to point the browser at the WAP network. Use wap.google.co.uk to test.
** I forgot to point out that you cannot use mobile.o2.co.uk as you have a prepay sim! **

Managed to get it working by kinda merging your settings and the 2 other settings. Works for standard web browsing and WAP browsing, this is how I have got it setup

MMS Vodafone UK with WM5

Help! - Has anyone else transferred their O2 xda Exec to Vodafone, or does anyone have a V1640 that they can check the settings for MMS with me?
I've changed over to voda, have loads of apps installed. Vodafone's business help line seem blissfully unaware of the extra settings inside the Messaging App on WM5 for MMS config.
Normal internet connectivity is ok, but at the moment I can't seem to download any new MMS messages. They arrive in the inbox and the size shows up, but I just can't download.
For the Connection details - Stangely, using the dedicated IP that the support team provided for the IP address of 212.183.137.012 doesnt work, when its on IP address is provided, it does try and access messages, but just can't download them.
Its got to a stage now, where they seem unwilling to help because its "not a handset they provide" despite me explaining that its the same mobile OS as dozens of other handsets and the settings will be exactly the same as on any WM5 based device.
The settings they can't seem to help with are those inside the messaging app on the menu "MMS Configuration" (see below)
----------------------------
Messaging > MMS > Menu >MMS Configuration
Preferences Tab:
Retrieve messages immediately (ticked)
Download on home network only (unticked)

Can anyone help, its been several days now and its really annoying me!

Annoying, but here's how
Hi Derek,
I just got this working again after having the same problem as you. Here is my setup (based on WM6 on an O2 XDA Exec running on Vodafone) - and the trick you need to know is at the end:
Settings -> Connections, I created a new modem connection called "Vodafone MMS & Data" of type "Cellular line (GPRS, 3G)". Under this setting, I have created two connections, one called "3g data" and one called "3g Wap Connection".
"3g data" is set up with access point "internet", username "internet", and password (I think) also "internet"
"3g Wap connection" is set up with access point "wap.vodafone.co.uk", username "wap" and password "wap".
OK, so you have a connection with two options set up as a result of this. For 99% of your day-to-day browsing, you just leave the connection set to use "3g data" by default, but when you get the notification of an MMS message, disconnect any existing online session and then go in and select the "3g Wap connection" option, then tap-and-hold and select Connect. Once you're online with the Wap connection you can then go and download your MMS message.
Hope this helps,
Darren

Here's what to do
In Settings/Connections/Connections you should have one connection set up under My ISP for internet access:
Name: VF Web (or whatever)
Select a modem: Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)
Access point name: internet
user name: web
password: web
You should also have one connection set up under My Work Network:
Name: VF MMS (or whatever)
Select a modem: Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)
Access point name: wap.vodafone.co.uk
user name: wap
password: wap
Finally set up your MMS configuration to Connect via: My Work Network
That's how to link internet and MMS to the two separate connections.

I did indeed notice the date of the thread. However the advice given here was not the best solution. I was trying to set up MMS on my O2 Exec on a Vodafone sim for the first time a few days ago, and couldn't find a complete and proper solution anywhere. Thankfully I managed to work it out and posted it here in case it helps others. The Universal and WM5 are both still alive and kicking.

Thats ok mate, just joking

It is not. All you are doing is adding gprs setups to my isp. Once you have this setup your system will use wifi network if available else it will initiate gprs connection. I am using this setup for long time. Don't do this if you don't have good data plan.

This has 0% to do with wi-fi and 100% to do with GPRS. One (wi-fi) uses the internal wireless card, and the other (GPRS) uses the cellular connection , which is much slower and generally costlier and can also use more battery if not careful than wi-fi. I only hope nobody uses this thinking it will solve a wi-fi connection issue because they are going to be hurt in the wallet when they get their next cell phone bill. GPRS is generally extremely expensive and adds up very fast. Most companies charge per kilobit it takes many kilbits to load just one webpage. Be warned if you attempt to use this "solution".

Help with GPRS settings

Hi,
I'm in a country where the operators don't have automatic configuration for GPRS. I have got the settings from the operators but don't know where to configure the X1 to do GPRS. I tried settings/connections/connection setup but it presents me with country selection and operator. My country isn't listed. Next I tried settings/connections/connections and add a new modem connection. Here I'm stuck cos I'm unable to put in the settings given to me by the operator which consist of:
username
password
accesspoint name, proxy and port.
I've put in these but X1 is always unable to connect.
Any help will be appreciated.

Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Manage Exisiting Connections -> New...
Enter a name for the connection: Whatever you want (something like your Networks name should help later on)
Select a modem: Cellular Line (GRPS, 3G)
next
Access point name: The one you got from your network
next
Username: The one you got from your network
Password: The one you got from your network
Domain: Leave blank
Fininsh
Proxy Settings
tick This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet
Proxy server: Enter IP address given by Network:Port number
OK
Fingers crossed this should work, haven't set up a new account in a while.

Sorry folks. I figured it out. I had to set the proxy in advanced. A bit of a drag I should think.
