I just got the WAP/MMS settings from Cincinnati Bell Wireless. I've added them to my unlocked 8525. The problem is that MMS still doesn't send/receive. When the phone tries to connect it seems as though it's connecting, but it times out. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi folks,
OK, today I did a hard reset and decided to bypass the o2 bloatware - everything is fine apart from no access to the internet.
I have searched this board and have tried about 30 differing settings - including some cab files and none will work for me - it used to work fine... and yes, I am on a contract...
Apart from resetting again and loading the bloatware - is there any foolproof way to get this sorted - I am tearing my hair out!!!
Please help as its driving me mad - the error message I get is "Dialled mobile.o2.co.uk No modem at above number etc..."
OK - back after Doctor Who...
I'm don't know if you've tried the ones on here or not but here goes...
http://www.filesaveas.com/gprs.html
Now this IS strange - decided to reinstall all the o2 bloatware... and the GPRS web access still doesn't work... so what's gone wrong?
ok.... nno need to worry,
1st call your network to confirm you still have GPRS access, bcos networks can sometimes take you off without any notification...
and heres a o2 uk pay monthly cab to setup mms gprs
Hiya - thanks for the info...
Just rang o2 and guess what - gprs is not activated on my sim card... he couldn't tell me where it had gone, but he has added it back on and says it will take 48 hours...
He says I need to ring back for the settings - but surely the correct settings are already on... or do they need to do anything else at that end?
If you done the hard reset and then soft reset when it comes up to warn you that it's about to install the "o2 bloatware" then it's more than likely that the settings for o2 gprs will not be on there. This is because it normally gets installed along with the bloat.
Just wait the 48hrs and if you still can't connect then install the cab file jamichy has provided above or enter the settings manually from...
http://www.filesaveas.com/gprs.html
Hi!
My view:
if your GPRS was working before your hard reset, and not now, I think it's more likely that the O2 rep you talked to has no idea what he/she's on about, rather than the SIM strangely deactiviating GPRS capability.
I also had the same trouble (on O2 contract) getting my GPRS, MMS, and WAP working without the O2 rubbish. I followed these wonderful instructions from the board (can't remember which post they're from), and now all works sweetly,
I hope it works for you!

OK - here is an interesting question - why do the numerous cab files for the o2 contract settings all have a password that is longer than the word "password"? :?:

I cant be sure, but its most likely the same reason windows (desktop) does it. once you have saved the password it is just *'s. the number of stars or blobs no longer has to relate to the number of letters in the password (probably to make hidden passwords harder to guess by knowing how long they are). - it hasn't changed the svaed password to something longer, just makes it "look" longer.
UPDATE
Got an email from o2 today regarding my problems...
After checking your number below, it appears that there has been a
problem with GPRS from our side, and nothing to do with the upgrade on
your device. I have enquired with customer care for you, and they advise
that GPRS will be going back on to the network from lunch time tomorrow
(unfortunately no specific timescales can be given). I do apologise for
this, but if you wish to take this further...
Fingers crossed...

Hello, I know this is a bit old but I am having problems setting up my o2 connections on my Wizard recently flashed to TNT5.0.
I've done the above for GPRS and Wap settings but they're not working.
They both ad +1 dial codes, I can't get rid of them for some reason so it won't work. Any clue as to what I'm doing wrong?
Ignore the above, i finally found a working cab file, all is resolved. I am happy!
Hey all
I'm in need of a quick and easy way of entering the GPRS and MMS settings for the O2 Pay as you Go network for Smartphone.
does anybody know if there is something available which can input the settings automatically?
thanx
Hi,
did you ever get the settings sorted for o2 PAYG as I am having the same problem I have tried putting them in and just can't get it to work, have you managed to put the settings correctly into yours, if you have can you please tell me how to do it thanks.

Okay.... further info.... having been on the phone to o2 (several departments) for a not inconsiderable amount of time today.
These settings (above) will allow you access to MMS functionality and the O2 Active service. However full GPRS access, POP access etc IS NOT available via a pay as you go sim (I argued with several departments & threatened to take my custom elsewhere but to no avail!).
However the good news is that they offer an 'online contract service' with a 1 month cancelation period that will give you full gprs access. I've opted for the 'online 30' (i.e. 30 quid) with 500 sms & 500 any network minutes per month, 'online 40' gives double that.
I have trawled the web trying to find the correct answer & settings but it seems that it basicaly comes down to the fact that O2 will not allow full internet access on a Pay as You Go simcard, for some strange reason known only to themselves. I thought that a couple of stroppy calls & some cajoling would do the trick.... but it seems not.
Bottom line then?
You need to be on a contract. However if you don't need a handset from them then a 1 month tie in is all that's required - (sim only, online deal).
I'll post back here if I have further problems with them (I do require them to keep the same number as on my existing sim..... & given the number of uninformed people I've spoken to already today, could prove to be a whole new issue in itself!).
Good luck out there!
Ian

Does anyone know the GPRS setting for 02 PAYG UK sim cards?
Thanks.
hi,
I have also posted a thread asking for the settings but no luck at all, the only way so far is to pay for dial up
o2 GPRS setting for PAYG
Try This: http://www.filesaveas.com/o2wap.html
Good Luck
These settings will allow you to access the whole of the internet on your phone using PAYG, as currently you cannot access any site except google.com and o2.co.uk. If i was you i would sign up for the 7.50 a month unlimited browsing bolt on(Not actually true as you are limited to 200mb a month). You should get 1mb free a month, but as you will find out 1mb doesnt last very long,if you go browsing, i would say it would be good for about 5 pages then its gone and you will be paying top wack for the internet.
Please note that only Mobile Internet Explorer will work with these settings, you will not be able to use or access Mobile MSN or Outlook as these are not supported.

Having a few problems

Is there a way to manualy imput the internet settings into the phone as 02 have given the settings to me but they have no idea how to manualy imput them as they cant see the menus on the phone but here as XDA im sure you can help..
no need for any of that mate - just plug it in and away it goes
the HTC connection manager kicks in when you first bootup, it'll recognise you have an o2 sim and ask you to if it can configure the device - simple as
Before getting my HD2 unlocked today I was using an O2 PAYG sim. The autoconfigure on the O2 HD2 doesn't work for PAYG settings only contract settings.
I contacted O2 and they sent me the details which I have included below. It takes a bit of following and isn't 100% described correctly, but they do work properly when set up :-
