How to setup for GPRS with O2 network in UK??? - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

I've got O2 Exec, but i dont know information to setup for GPRS.
Can you help me, pls??? Thank you so much!

On the same note does anyone know the settings for simyo/ eplus in Germany?
thanks,
Mike

it's really easy, you only need a couple of details !! for O2 in the UK
Go to settings in the start menu
then connections TAB
Connections Icon
Add a new modem connection
Name it what ever you like (officially it is O2 Active)
Modem IS NOT default Cellular Line, change to Cellular GPRS/3G hit next
Access Point name = mobile.o2.co.uk all lower case, and that says letter 'o' not number '0' in o2 then hit next
username is o2web
password is password
no need for advanced tab just hit finished

Modem settings
I thought the username was mobileweb and the password as password. This works for me flawlessly.

You can also use a username and password of "faster" which sends images to you compressed - and then the full version when you refresh the page.

Connection to vodafone uk internet

I have just purchased a k-jam and I am on a vodafone uk contract and I am not being able to connect to the internet. Can someone give me any advice on the necessary connection methods. Vodafone are not being of any help.
Assuming you have GPRS etc enabled on the SIM and its a contract SIM
use the following:
username: web
password: web
APN/Access Point Name: internet
Should work fine..
The best way to go online with your contract is to use GPRS. This is very easy to set up on the Wizard.
Firstly click Settings
Then click the Connections tab at the bottom
Next select Connections
Under My ISP, choose 'Add a new modem connection'
Give the connection a name (e.g. Vodafone GPRS) and select the modem type as 'Cellular Line (GPRS)'. Then click next.
Now enter the 'Access Point Name' as internet and click next.
Now enter the User Name as web and the password as web and finally click finish.
That should do it. Now open internet explorer and enter a web page and you should be ok. You will, of course, have to setup your e-mail settings separately.
Hope this helps
Hi,
Just unzip this and Install the Vodafone CAB.
Hi tried installing Vodafone_UK_PAYT.CAB on my XDA Mini S, goes through the install ok, but for some reason it doesn't seem to add any of the settings
Any ideas why? Does it need the k-kam ROM or some additional settings from this for it to work?
thanks in advance
Graeme
i wouldn't bother with the cab file at all. just set it up manually.
there is a good tutorial on vodafone web site:
http://online.vodafone.co.uk/dispat...&_pageLabel=Page_BOS_PDA_Guide&pageID=GM_0302
the salient points are:
dial:
*99#
post dial string:
+cgdcont=1,"ip","internet"
speed setting:
57600
untick:
wait for dialing tone
stop bits set to 2
user name:
web
password:
web

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:
http://www.filesaveas.com/gprs.html
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

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.

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.

Orange Connection Settings (SPV-M3100)

Okay, I updated my firmware on my PSV-M3100 to the one here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=281146
And all works fine in terms of day to day usage of the PDA, but when trying to access WAP or the internet via 3G or GPRS I'm getting errors saying the connection needs editing.
Would someone running the default UK Orange firmware be kind enough to post the connection settings that come with the SPV-M3100 as standard.
I even called Orange to help but "the guy who knows the SPV-M3100 has gone home for the day" not that it is a M3100 issue, just any old Orange 3G settings I imagine?
Anyway, any help on this would be appreciated.
I have tried searching here and the net for what should be in the connections area but very little info is out there
maybe this can help:
http://www.pda-friendly.net/PDA_GPRS_Settings.htm
Thanks, but I was looking for something a bit more thorough...
Settings for Orange World, Orange Internet, Orange MMS
And then the connection settings for GPRS/3G under these
Plus proxies etc.
Still, I am meant to have Orange calling me back today to help me out here, so whatever they tell me I'll document here for the Wiki.
Cheers
ok, i don't know if there's any cab available with all the settings, but a quick search on the networking forum poped up this which also contains MMS settings:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=224183
Thanks for those...
Orange are baffled and now my phone number is not recognised by Orange World at all, and I can't see any website sites...
I'll give them 24 hours more to fix or I cancel my contract (it'll be my 3rd SPV M3100 in 10 days - must be a record).
...at least I can get a 3G connection without it bombing out, even though I can't do anything with it.
Sweet! Those settings worked perfectly on my Orange UK M3100, just as they have on all my other devices. Shame there isnt a cab that can do the same!
Cheers,
Fin
Are these of any help?

Hi There,
Just to let you know, you can get the settings straight from the Orange UK website. Just create a free account based on your billing and phone number, and there will be a section for them to either SMS you the settings to your M3100 or for you to stick them in yourself.
I recently put on WM6 onto my M3100, and just put the orange wap setting. Even though there are originally about 3 or 4 different gprs settings on the M3100, the only one that really ever is used is the orangewap access point settings. The orangeinternet access point settings are never touched when the M3100 3G access is taking place.
FYI from the orange site under 3G Setup for M3100:
Setting up the data account
1. On the PDA, tap on Start and then Settings.
2. Tap on the Connections tab.
3. Tap on the Connections icon.
4. Tap on the Advanced tab.
5. Tap on Select Networks.
6. Under the first drop down box, tap on New…
7. In the Enter a name for these settings: field, enter Orange GPRS WAP
8. Tap on the Modem tab.
9. Tap on New…
10. In the Enter a name for the connection: field, enter Orange GPRS WAP
11. Tap on the Select a modem drop-down list and select Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G).
12. Tap on Next.
13. In the Access point name: field, enter orangewap
14. Tap on Next.
15. Tap on Finish.
16. Tap on the Proxy Settings tab.
17. Select the This network connects to the Internet option.
18. Select the This network uses a proxy sever to connect to the Internet option.
19. Tap on Advanced… Tap on WAP.
20. In the Server field, enter 192.168.071.035
21. In the Port field, enter 8080
22. Tap on ok five times
23. Tap on x to close the Settings screen.
24. Tap on Start, Programs and then Internet Explorer.
25. Tap on Menu.
26. Tap on Favorites...
27. Tap on the Add / Delete tab.
28. Tap on Add...
29. In the Name field, enter Orange GPRS WAP
30. In the Address field, enter http://wap.orange.co.uk
31. Tap on Add.
32. Tap on ok.
33. Tap on x.
The new WAP profile is now configured and ready for use.
I did everything apart from Step 21, whereby when I wrote my settings down, the port number remained at 9201, NOT 8080 as written in step 21.
Give this a go, and see if it works for you.
Good Luck!
if you're on contract, the accesspoint is orangeinternet no password, nothing.
for MMS settings; google for them, a site called filesaveas.com has them

I have created a cab file that will install Orange UK internet, WAP and MMS settings to make things a little easier!
Hi,
I have upgraded to 20070320_RUU_Hermes_WWE_3.23.0.0_1.34.00.10 on my M3100 which works great except for the 3G connection. To configure the device I used the 'Orange Internet MMS Settings.cab'.
Once the Direct push is configured for my exchange server, the device downloads emails. The device then drops the 3G/GPRS connection and the activesync screen shows error with No connection for data.
Looking into the xml files saved from the original Orange ROM shows extra settings that do not appear in the 'Orange Internet MMS Settings.cab' file.
Has anyone else seen this issue or have more info on Orange 3G settings?
Many Thanks
Crammy
I've flashed my phone with this WM6 ROM as well. Has your SPV M3100 stopped receiving/sending MMS's ?? I've checked and re-checked my phones MMS settings a dozen times and also had orange send them to my phone cia SMS but no joy. I wonder if it is just me or a common problem with the new WM6 ROM's and the M3100?
Mine works fine.
As long as you set up the MMS data connection AND the mms server correctly, yours will as well.
There are hundreds of threads here and elsewhere with the correct way - but the key is to set up an ORANGEMMS connection in the "private" connection settings (with user Orange, password Multimedia and APN as orangemms, then set up Orange MMS server in MMS settings with Gateway IP (proxy) address: 192.168.224.10 , Port: 9201, MMS Message (Relay) Server URL http://mms.orange.co.uk/

Looks like we are having a double conversation here!! Anyway. I have deleted my original MMS settings as these were set up in the "internet" connection, not the "private" connection as you advise. I have used exactly the setting you show above but when I try to send an MMS I can't and I just get the timer symbol showing they cannot currently be sent. I'm really at a dead end hear unless you have any other ideas?? I really appreciate you taking the time out to help though.

Yes, there was a slight problem with the cab file which caused problems for some so I have updated it. This is for Orange UK contract customers and installs MMS settings and Internet settings

The browser is probably not returning the correct user-agent string. Unfortunatly the operators decided to use autodetection via this string. Its a right pain because i cant access the o2 pda site either, i get the crappy wap text version
I believe the gurus are investigating it. What ROM are you currently running?

PAYG O2 GPRS setting not working

Hi
I have a Qtek 9100 running the O2 XDA Mini S Official WM5 Rom.
I am trying to set it up to access the internet using a PAYG o2 sim. I have followed a couple
of guides from this site but it still will not work.
I can connect to GPRS ok but when I try to connect to a page on the web,
I get an error message saying
"the page cannot be dispalyed or downloadedbecause the connection was lost. Check the onnection and try again later"
I still have a GPRS connection when I get this message.
My setting are;
modem-Cellular line (GPRS)
Access popint name - payandgo.o2.co.uk
username - payandgo
password - password
Advanced settings - use server assigned IP addesss
use server-assigned addresses
connection name o2
modem cellular line (gprs)
access point name - payandgo.o2.co.uk
username - payandgo
password - password
domain -
Advanced
use server-assigend ip address
proxy settings
both boxes ticked
http - 192.113.200.195:8080
WAP - 192.113.200.195:8080
What am I doing wrong.
I'm new to this so be gentle!!!
just figured out what I'm doing wrong.
I had two connection set up .
I have deleted the first one and now I can connect.
Pleased it's working, but it really gobbles up the cash on PAYG.
Mike
do you have to set up gprs with o2? do you have to tell them you want it?
ive got an o2 pay as you go sim, i can connect but it doesnt seem to work properlly like you stated. ive not contacted o2 to 'turn on' gprs for me so i dont know if its that.

SOS!! My HD2 cannot connect to web on O2 "Problem Solved"

Hi all,
I've got my sim-free HD2 from superetrader uk. But after inserting my o2 sim, I got a really big problem that I can't get to web!!
I used "O2" network settings found by HD2 automatically. But it always said
"Cannot Connect
Dialed: mobile.o2.co.uk
Cannot connect for an unknown reason. To check your connection...blahblah"
when I tried to access 3G.
I've tried many ways suggested on the internet, including removing username and password in the connection settings, adding DNS ip, and even using hard reset. But thay can't work at all.
But my sim does work well(accessing 3G) in my HTC HD(that rom supports 3G and connection settings are with blank username, password and DNS).
I nearly suspect there is a manufacturing problem with my phone.
Plz help me! I've struggled for 2 days and gonna explode!!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!
To find a solution, please go to #6. Thanks!
can you try to go on the o2 site using your pc and download the settings to your phone via mms/sms
are you a payg customer
are you using pay as you go?
if so on my mates phone on O2 it downloads the wrong connection settings when it does the automatic setup and you need to edit them to get it to work
Find and edit the right name for your accesspoint.
At german o2 it is APN (Zugriffspunkt) : webmobil1
Thank you all!!
You helpful guys all hit the point!!
Exactly I am a pay & go user.
After I got your replys, I asked my friend who also uses O2 pay&go with S1. He told me a different APN. Then I tried and it worked!!
So it's right a wrong access point name setting problem.
THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH AGAIN!!
Here are my correct connection settings for UK O2 PAY & GO USER WITH A SIM FREE HD2 if you undergo a pain with accessing internet:
Settings - Wireless controls - Menu - Connections - Add a new modem connection
[you can delete all other connections first if you only use o2 mobile internet]
Enter a name for the connection: mobile web (whatever you like)
Select a modem: Cellular Line (GPRS)
Next.
Access point name: payandgo.o2.co.uk
Next.
User name:
Password:
Domain:
(These three items are all left BLANK)
Advanced...
(Just use the default settings)
Finish.
OK.
OK.
Close.
Now it works.
Alternatively, you can use automatic config by choosing O2 from network database of HD2. Then you can just manage the connection "moblie web" by changing access poing name to payandgo.o2.co.uk and deleting both username and password.
Hope that's clear!
Thank you loads! I was having the same problem and thanks to this post I managed to sort it! Nice to know the automatic O2 settings thing works about as well as a chocolate teapot!
Again thanks
