I have PDA2K with wm5 with wap over gprs connection.
I installed spb weather, sbsh pocket weather and virtual earth mobile.
I cannot updat weather on spb and sbsh using wap gprs connection i can update just only using wifi or activesync ie. internet connection.
My friend has the same phone and same software wap gprs connection but another gsm operator, he can update weather using wapgprs normally. Can any one help me please solve this problem? Also he can view maps on virtual earth mobile using his wap gprs connection and i cant.
Best Regards,
This is probably operator issue. Some cell operators when they say 'WAP' mean limited access to their site only that will let you read news, get ring-tones and stuff but not use mail, messenger or other apps that require real internet access.
Try switching SIMs with your friend and updating the weather. If it works, call you operator and inquire about internet access.
If not, it may be a settings issue. You need to make sure your GPRS connection is under 'My IPS'.

I upgraded to WM2003 in Jeff's fabulous kitchen. Everything works great. My ISP has different access points for wap and www over gprs. It works with WM2002 very well but with WM2003 does not. What could be the possible problem? I guess WM2003 has more problems rather than advantages (if any, of course. I haven't discovered any, except for the character counter in sms message composer). This forced me to downgrade the ROM to Jeff's 3.17, which is perfect in all respects.
They say Pocket Internet Explorer can do WAP since WM2003. Haven't tested it, never use WAP.
wm2003 & WAP
The main problem is that PIE 2002 or 2003 don't understand wml. Yes, I tried with required access point & gateway but it just does not connect. The problem is that I really need to browse some wap info as these pages are not available on www suitable for xda.
Anyway, I am perfectly happy with Jeff's 3.17 ROM. I get WM, I get ezWap. Everything works very well.
One problem, though a little out of place. tdLaunch sometimes makes the Xda crash. It happens, be it in ROM or installed separately.
I think its yr configuration or yr ISP.
Ive been using EzWap and PIE to do wap extensively
on gprs with either PPC2002 or wm2003.

You are right!
Pocket PC phone version WM2003 has more problem than advantages in Pocket PC phone.
but I'm using IPAQ WM2003 no such problems at all!

You may be right about the isp. but they are not in a position to solve my problem. They have never heard of PPC, they don't know the difference in services provided, they don't know what are the configurations. All they know is to send the configuration by sms to the user's mobile phone, which is useless in case of xda.
However, I am sure PIE does not support wml. Can you tell me how do you make it understand wml?
Can you access these pages?
http://wap.yahoo.com.sg/
http://wap.ft.com/

Because my PIE can
You should be able to browse any WAP site on the Internet through the Internet connection. However if your operator has both WAP and Internet connections then the WAP one will probably only allow you to browse their own WAP gateway site, and possibly other WAP sites through the WAP gateway.
In Pocket PC you cannot set the Internet Explorer to select which connection you will use. It defaults to the Internet setting. As you must define the WAP proxy using Work Settings, this is of no help to you.
The best solution is to create a new connection settings area, configure both Work And Internet locations to use it, and put all you connections in there. Then manually select Internet or WAP when you want to switch.

Thanks.
I have tried all the options, this one too. It does not work. I found use of EzWAP 2.5 more convenient, as it has it's own proxy/gateway configuration area. It does not depend on gateway config of connection manager. Further, it allows you to choose your nodcm connection.
What puzzles me the most is that EeWAP 2.1 or 2.5 did not work with Jeff's WM2003. It works with Jeff's ROMkitchcn 2002.
I have been running SPB GPRS Monitor to assess email programs. What I just noticed tonight is that it takes 30-40KB to connect to GPRS. I can't readily tell if T-Mobile is charging me for that data.
I had my GPRS connection set for Always on. A problem with always on, or for that matter autofetch on email, is that every time the device loses its Edge or GPRS connection, then regains it, there is around a 35K data use, at least according to SPB GPRS Monitor.
Does anyone know of a GPRS toggle program?
SPB
Of course, SPB GPRS monitor has a toggle. There is a feature I didn't know about because I had the popup turned off.
24 hours later, my phone used over 400KB connecting to GPRS. Turning GPRS on uses over 30KB, and if the phone connection is lost (which happens frequently in my home and office) it is usually over 10KB to reconnect.
Meanwhile I looked at my bill, and T-Mobile billed me for less data than SPB says I used, so perhaps T-Mobile isn't including the time spent connecting to the network. On the other hand, there was one day where T-Mo said I used over 1.5 MB and SPB says I used less than 1.1, a large discrepancy.
Are you able to recive your mails thru the GPRS connection? I have to use a proxy server for the GPRS to work, but I can't get new mails thru this GPRS connection with proxy. (using build in messaging application)
I can get new mails when using WiFi...
Can you change any settings to allow mail download over GPRS, thur proxy...?
thanks
CIAO!

I do receive mail
I don't use a proxy server but have T-Mobile settings. Can you browse the web on GPRS? You need the settings for your carrier.
Yes I can browse the web, but for that I need to set the proxy server and server port explicitly within Opera 8.60
Within the GPRS connection I activated the checkbox to use a proxy server and set al settings correctly, still the messaging application don't want to use the GPRS connection. MSN doesn't work over the GPRS neighter.
At the messaging account settings, within the advanced settings I only can select as 'Connect to' -> 'The internet' or 'Work', but not my GPRS connection.
What is your setting for the connection within the advanced settings of you messaging account?
Thanks

I have the standard APN=internet2.voicestream.com setting, which is automatically inserted by the T-Mo customization in the 2.26 ROM (I have another thread on this). You might solve your problem with this extensive thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=20428&highlight=internet2+voicestream
Meanwhile, this is a thread about GPRS data use, not about solving GPRS problems.
I am by Base and everything works fine without a proxy. Here are the settings taken from their website :
BASE Data (Internet over GPRS) instellingen
APN: gprs.base.be
User name : base
Password: base
DNS servers: dynamic
SMTP Relay (Optional): mail.internetmail.be
http://www.base.be/BASE/nl/Home/Producten/Diensten/Mobile_Data/page.aspx/1915
You shoul NOT use the settings for Wap over Gprs! You should use Internet over Gprs settings.

Thanks for that, actually, I'm using Base I-mode (7€/20MB = 0,35€/MB) instead of the real GPRS option (2,5€/MB)
But for I-mode on a Windows Mobile phone, you need to use a specific proxy, else it won't work
So in fact, this GPRS is not really supported by Base, and that's why I can't ask Base for a solution
i will take a look at the mentioned link, thanks anyway!!

Yeah, I read about the I-mode hack.
Instead I went for "BASE Data Access+"
5€ for 10MB and then 2,50€/MB.
Terribly sorry about hijacking this thread
Data use
I've now tested this further. "Normal" turning on the GPRS when the phone connection has been lost requires 40KB of data flow, according to SPB GPRS Monitor. This turns out to be most of the data I'm using, just connecting ten or so times per day, that is, connecting requires 500KB of data when I am in a place where I lose my connection frequently.
It is still mysterious why email takes so much data, too. With ten messages existing on the server, all having been read, to delete two takes 40KB of data. Sending a 2KB message usually takes 10KB. Why the overhead? (I keep my server mostly clean, just unanswered emails on it).
I have a Vodafone branded X1 which I'm using with my T-Mobile sim. I have gone into the registry and unlocked the default connections (My ISP and WEB) and changed them to work with T-Mobile.
Opera, panels, IE and comm manager connect fine.
Messaging (Email), Windows Live, and Messenger all say they cannot connect (It doesn't even look like they try and connect)
It appears they have been set to only work with Vodafone's default settings, is there anywhere i can modify to make these work?
when you edited WEB and My ISP did you untick the connect to internet via proxy option? but leave this connection connects to internet checked
hotmail etc is working on my phone and the only changes i've made are the ones i gave you on the other thread, except I'm on o2.
Yep, I did all that and I still get problems, the message I get from Windows Live is "Windows Live was unable to establish an Internet connection. Please check your Internet settings and make sure that you have access to data services under your billing plan. If you need help, please contact your mobile service provider."
It doesn't even try to use the My ISP or WEB connections before it shows that message.
...
i had a similiar problem where only opera connected and not msn.
I removed all connections completely (do not only edit them) and restart and recreate.
then it started to work again..
ried removing all the connections completely and I still get the same issues with mail and messenger.
It looks to me like they aren't even trying to look for, or establish a connection before throwing the error
that's exactly how it looked to me, when I was trying to fix it last night. then it all fell into place. it almost looked like it new it wasn't going to work and couldn't be bothered trying! I think the last thing I did was disable connecting by proxy on the WEB connection.
I promise you it is something wrong with your settings and not with Live or Messaging.
I've tried everything I think I can with the connection settings, can you list your settings please eyebeebe?
I assume you're using these settings:
GPRS APN address: general.t-mobile.uk
Gateway (IP) address :149.254.1.10 (alt: 149.254.201.132)
Username : user (alt: wapuser)
Password: wap
Session type: Continuous / permanent
Port number: 8080 (alt: 9201)
Authentication: Normal
Is your Artemis on T-mobile? Can you mirror it's settings? For example you made need to connect via proxy and enter the Gateway IP address as above if you haven't already.
If you've done that already send me a PM and we can go through my settings on MSN...
Hi ...
Im from Singapore. Just bought the phone from Starhub but Im actually using Singtel Service.
Status
Internet connection set up..
Can access internet via IE
Can receive email
Can access youtube or google maps..
Problem:
CANNOT access opera internet.. Connection issue..
Can anyone help me on this, please...
Thank you
I'm giving this a bump because I'm having a similar problem with Opera detecting my mobile network. I'm with Singtel as well and it seems there are a few data connection profiles a program can choose from, i.e. IDEAS Internet and IDEAS WAP (GPRS).
It looks like MSN Messenger is only able to connect via IDEAS Internet whereas Opera Mobile only recognises IDEAS WAP (GPRS). If I use NODATA to disable a profile, the respective application fails to connect to the internet.
My preference is to keep IDEAS Internet, but I can't figure out how to tell Opera Mobile to use that connection (even though it's already active). When I disable IDEAS WAP which Opera Mobile normally uses, the browser will tell me there's a network problem and won't even attempt to connect via another data connection profile. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Are you sure your Provider permits Opera browser usage? Some providers limit what browsers can work on their network, or require your browser to start with a sort of login page before browsing was permitted.
You might want to check that out by calling your network provider.
That was the case a few years ago with the Irish 3 and Vodafone networks.

Hi,
I have got a weird problem. I cannot surf the web using IE and opera on my HTC HD or sync emails. althrough the WAP does work with the opera, (haven't try it with IE)
Other applications are working with the 3G data connection e.g skype, AGE phone mobile 2 and facebook.
the last thing I remembered doing was connecting to a wifi network at a family home.
Is there a setting to tell IE or opera which data connction to use?
cheers
Jim
Hi arowana88,
I would advise you try checking whether any changes have been set to your phones Proxy Settings.
Go to Start | Settings | Connections | Connections. Under the 3G Data Connection heading of your ISP, click the 'Set up my proxy server' link. Make sure that the option titled "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet" is unticked - you only need to do this if you have problems accessing certain things like email or https (secure) websites.
If this makes no difference, then you can try to hard reset your device.
Hope that helps you out.
Regards.
