Since you say T-mobile MDA vario i am assuming your using T-mobile Uk, all you need to do is create a new connection and enter general.t-mobile.uk as ur APN and then connect, no other settings needed. leave the username and password blank...
Start>Settings>Connections>Connections> Add a new modem connection (under my isp)> type in a connection name e.g My Connection select Cellular line (GPRS) as your modem> type the apn > blank username and pass> click connect and your done!!
hope that helps !
hey thx for the reply buddy, although i have a t-mobile mda vario but as i mentioned that im not using t-mobile services. I'm not even in uk is there any possibility that the gprs in this one is only compatible with t-mobile??? or is there anyother solution?
look on the ftp maybe for the extended roms of the imate or you can go online and lookup the settings that you would put into the connection part of the phone in the control panel.
who is your provider
Try hard resetting the device and try to connect again.
This has worked for me in the past when I had problems connecting.
im in pakistan. and i've configured my handset according to their settings but it's isnt working. i've checked with another operator but its of no use either.
can you please pass me the ftp link???
hard resetting goes like???
im a newbie
ok im done with the hard resetting, but its of no use in this case. where can i get ROM for its imate equivalent??
what if i have t-mobile mda in us what apn would i put?
knock knock... can somebody throw some light n help me out of it

Hi,
I am using a Orange SPV M1000 on vodafone sim. This month I got a bill of more than £60.00 for calls being made to a number +44 7973100500. Now I think this number is for connection to Orange WAP services.
I want to disable this. I have already deleted the phone numbers to the Orange CSD WAP, Orange WAP, Orange GPRS and Orange MMS.
I have also selected under settings -> Network management 'Programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using:' to 'My ISP'.
Even after changing these settings I am still being billed for the above said number.
Can anybody please help me out ASAP.
Thanks and regards,
RAJ
Have you tried removing all connections under settings/connections?

Thanks for your reply, I spoke to Orange today and I think I have now removed all the Orange connections from the settings.
The problem however also lies to the fact that it has connect to WAP all this time without my knowledge. I neither browse the internet from the PDA not have I got email setup on this PDA. I think, it always has connected to the Orange WAP after a soft reset. Orange seems to ignore this fact, saying that I am now with Vodafone so it is not their problem. Where as vodafone does not want to take the responsibility as it is not one of their phones.
The other problem is that, I cannot find out whether this phone is still connecting to the Orange WAP without my knowledge. Vodafone (rather singlepoint) can not find this out untill it is billed and it is too late by then. So, I end up paying a long bill. Its really annoying.
Is there anyway I can double check whether it is indeed connected when I soft reset it? Tried using IE but it says that you are not connected to internet.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks
Rajiv
Guys, I have been trying a lot of different ways to get my Dutch vodafone gprs try to work on my T-mobile MDA Vario. Some how it won't work.
I googled a lot and looked here, but I can't seem it to work.
Can any one give excact the steps in de mda to set it up?
Thanks.
Johan
On my Himalaya it was quite simple.
In connection manager setup a new GPRS connection that connects to 'The internet'
It should connect to APN 'live.vodafone.com' username and password should be 'vodafone'. (On some sites it is claimed the APN should be web.vodafone.nl but that does not work with me)
Dont forget to select the new connection.
Works on my MDA II (but under WM2003)
I just really started playing with my T-Mobile MDA today. It still has the stock firmware from T-Mobile.
When I'm at home I like to turn the phone off and just use the wi-fi on the device. The phone sees my wireless network (802.11b) and I enter my encryption key. The phone connects to my local network and gets a valid IP address. However if I try to use Pocket Internet Explorer to navigate to a web page it never works. It always says "Locating..." and eventually says that it cannot open the page. GPRS works fine.
I have T-Mobile's internet3 APN for my GPRS so I don't use any kind of proxy for it so the trick of having a proxy for GPRS and none for wi-fi won't work for me becuase both have no proxy.
I have Linux as my firewall/gateway system so I told it to show me the packets it's getting from the phone when I try to go to a web page. It looks like the phone is correctly looking for the default gateway and my Linux system responds with what it is. However the phone keeps asking and eventually gives up. It then sends the DNS request to the broadcast address and that will not work so it's unable to resolve any names.
This looks like a pretty serious bug in the software of the phone. I've seen other threads where people mention the same problem but no resolution really. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm guessing my only resolution for this is to try new firmware. This is pretty annoying since this is basic functionality (the low level network stuff).
First is your phone a mda vario = htc wizard or mda = htc wallaby? you may be in the wrong forum but a simple suggestion if it is a mda vario is try it on wifi g mode fix is here (only for vario) http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=38898
My phone is the Vario. I actually have a custom ROM that has the enable for 802.11g but I went into the registry and turned that off thinking that was part of the problem because I have an old Netgear access point that is strictly 802.11b. I just tried unplugging the access point and plugging it back in. The phone connected to it for a minute and then suddenly the network went "unavailable." Now it won't connect anymore. This is driving me crazy! I am running the 2.21 custom ROM that's put together by another member here (sorry, I can't remember the name). I wish there was a way to get some diagnostic information from the MDA and maybe I could better see what's going on.
Did it connect with the original rom? and maybe its better to try qtek or imate rom like most of the vario users who have upgraded are using. (which will default to wife b mode)
The original T-Mobile ROM did not work very well either. It continually asked my DHCP server for an IP address and it replied but it just kept asking.
Can you make a ROM recommendation for what you're referring to? I've been through the FTP site here and there are a dizzying array of ROM choices.
Most vario users seem to upgrading to qtek 2.17.7.2 ROM here you can download ftp://xda:[email protected]_2170702_21707102_20710_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe
user name xda, password xda hope that works for you.
Given that's a generic ROM is there another package that will install all of the US T-Mobile settings?
There are cab's available to install GPRS, MMS settings etc but to be honest it is just as easy to do it manually (many websites give these settings) - I did it with my qtek, came with no settings - did it manually for O2 UK.
I've got the same problem with my home WiFi.
Panera - Good
Starbucks - Good
Home - Not good.
Like the others. I put in the WPA passphrase, connect to the home network, and wait, and wait, and wait....
Now, in some cases I've been able to hard code my ISP's DNS servers into the WiFi card on my MDA and soft reset and presto. Working. But after that if I disconnect the WiFi and go GPRS, doesn't work, because my ISP's DNS servers aren't accessible from the T-Mo (Voicestream) network.
Any help would be good.
In case you've not tried; Setting the Wireless power setting for 'best performance' finally enabled my home connection.
On my Vario - Settings - Connections - Wireless LAN - Power Mode
hello can someone help me with my internet problem. im using tesco mobile a sim card but my inernet explorer will not let me connect to any page. the gprs says im connected but no page. im phone is a mda 11i running pug 1.11.162 radio 1.04 camera fix o2 removed. this is starting to bug me now. thanks
Hello,
I think that you should check your GPRS settings and make sure that your proxy and HTTP/WAP ports are correct. Also check the rest IP/DNS settings.
Oh and of coarse is your GPRS access password/user name protected?
Cheers,
Tried using a Tesco SIM when I first purchased Wizard, problem with network will not let you connect. Another network is the only option, Sorry.
Woke up in the morning and found MDA unable to connect via GPRS... keeps trying but cant connect.
-Checked ALL the settings
-Soft Reset/ Took Battery Out/ Took sim card out
-Hard reset
WILL NOT CONNECT TO GPRS
but connects to the net and am able to connect and check mail when connected to my PC via active sync...
can someone explain this to me...
T-mobile MDA support told me to have sim card tested at local store in another device...
please help
i would check if settings->connections->connections->advanced->select network
was set to my ips or something to that effect
could be that your isp use it's name as setting or something
if it's set to my network or something like that it will only use activesync as connection
it's set to Tmobile data....
