I know PPC2003 IE support WAP.
But my phone provider Ireland Vodafone has a WAP system called Vodafone live!
I cannot configure IE to use this as it has it's own GPRS and GSM connection profile and Access Point and Proxy. So I want to get a WAP Browser for the XDAII that I can configure to use the WAP settings from Vodafone and the IE can be left for ISP settings and general browsing.
Anyone any suggestions?
Try NetFront browser

I use the O2active portal and that is something similar to Vodafone Live.
I do have german OS, so my tranlations might not be totally correct.
goto settings -> connections -> connections -> company networks (in german Firmennetzwerke) the last entry.
Here you find the WAP network.
Under "Modem" you can set up the acces point, under proxysettings the proxy, just get your vodfone live stuff from their website or extract it from a mobile. This sould work.
No need for extra cash ;-)

I am with Vodafone.
I got the XDAII as a Sim Free Phone from O2.
I have removed the extended ROM stuff and set it up for Vodafone.
I have everything working, GPRS & CSD Internet Access. E-Mail, MMS all with Vodafone.
I have setup the connection for the WAP ie. Vodafone live!
All I can enter is the APN "live.vodafone.com" and username and password. BUT I still need to enter the gateway address ie. 10.24.59.100 and the homepage " http://live.vodafone.com".
So where do I enter the gateway if I want to use IE for the WAP browser, and I assume the homepage is not a Proxy address, it's what I enter into the IE address bar to get the wap site???
Anyone,
Thanks again for the info.
under "again-the-stuff-before" where is written proxy-settings, check "use a proxy" (again, mine is german)
under extended you can set the ip address for WAP and WAP secure.
The start-homepage you simple set under IE (just as you would it in Windows)
good luck
This is not a problem due to connexion, GPRS, GSM wap or anything.
for vodafone live, as for Orange world and others, the do watch for the user agent of your device to select the type of page to display.
Every operator has a pool of mobile devices and unfortunately i guss the XDA2 does not belong to this pool.
Here in france it had just been added a couples of days ago because they are now selling it as SPV1000 on the orangeworld contract.
So even if you use a wap browser like ezwap or another, the problem will still remain, the user agent of your devices will not be recognize by the vodafone live wap proxy.
in germany they start selling the XDA2/MDA2 also now from vodafone...
anyway... if you ever had a customized vodafone-firmware on your phone you'll hate vodefone for ever ;-)
Maybe try to begin the URL with wsp:// instead of http:// ...
AT&T WAP Settings in US?
Can anyone tell me how to set up my XDA II WAP for AT&T in the US?
Thanks
Steve
I have a normal sony 3g phone and i can access all the vodafone live content with streaming video etc, how can i set my jasjar up so it can access the same content and stream video etc from vodafone
Cheers

you need PV player installed (find it thought a search on this forum) plus the direct url which im still trying to find myself.
First off, you need to connect to Vodafone live! using the wap connection details rather than the usual "internet" APN.
Set this up using the "Work" connection. Go "start", "settings", "connections" then click on the "connections" icon. Go to "My Work Connection". Click on "manage my connections" then click on "Vodafone wap" which should have wap.vodafone.co.uk under the number column (I am assuming you have installed the Vodafone CAB which automatically puts in this connection). Move across to the tab which says "Proxy settings". Tick the box which says this network connects to the Internet. Tick the box which says This network uses a proxy server. Click on Advanced, then tap on HTTP . Enter 212.183.137.12 in the Server box and enter 8799 in the Port box. Click ok. Right, that is first part done.
Second part requires editing registry. PEASE BACK UP your registry before proceeding. For Vodafone Live! WAP page to think you are a 3G mobile, you have to fool it into believing you are an 'approved' handset. For internet explorer, the registry key to change is:
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent\]
Change (Default) from Mozilla/4.0 to 'Nokia6630' and clear all the other values such as compatible, Desc, Platform, UA-language, Version.
You may need to reboot after making these changes.
Once you've changed these settings, connect to Vodafone Live! (make sure you are in UMTS coverage) and goto: http://live.vodafone.co.uk
Now you should see Vodafone live come up in full view with images and extras. Sky TV is available but I still have problem getting it to link properly into the PVplayer. At the moment I have to copy the link and then open PV player and paste it for it to play. use the Pocket Plus Internet plugin to do this with ease. Sometimes some of the channels are not working properly, so go to Channel 4 and test that first. Hope this helps.

might seem strange i follow your instructions right the way through but then everytime i get to the live page it trys to download a file called my docusmts/If i try to rename or save elsewhere or even save as that name it says file in use by other program and wont let me do it.
Any ideas
Peter
Would it not be easier just to make a note of the urls (link address) then connect your universal to the wap gateway (as directed by admisi) then enter the shortcut into pv player? This way would save you messing with pie? BTW I tried the instructions out myself however all I managed to do is make my pie crash (had to hard reset to fix things)
Hi Ratcom,
Just sent you a pm making some progress now got live working etc etc

PM repied ! Good luck and dont forget them url's
Thought the same myself about the URLs and even saved them all as favourites in PV Player. But, you guessed it, they keep changing, so URL doesn't stay valid. Pain in the backside.
Pvplayer
I am Trying to setup Vodafone Live on my XDA Exec according to the Instructions of this Forum.
Unfortunatley I cant find a copy of PVPlayer. does anybod know how to get it. ITs available on there site for a nokia for a very reasonable price, however I cant find it anywhere for Pocket Pc.
Any Ideas?
Hi
Here it is
Authorization Failed
I think I am getting warmer.
I have entered all the settings as above.
However clicking the link does not launch the tv in pvplayer.
so I tried copying the link rtsp://stream.vodafone.co.uk/lv/lv01/live/vf-stream-t-27.sdp into the pvplayer directly, however I get a message saying Authorization Failed.
Anybody know what I am doing wrong?
Thanks for the info guys worked a treat, only thing we need to fix is the live tv streams to open and work automatically in pvplayer, anyone any ideas how
Thanks
Chris
anybody know where this vodafone cab is?
I don't have a clue what to put as username, password, domain or access point name if i try to create a connection manually.
I did find a cab Vodafone UK Contract.cab from Imate, but it did nothing, i installed it into main memory, resetted and nothing had changed so I uninstalled it again!
I dont have the Vodafone Cab File but here are the settings that u need:
Make an internet connection,
use cellular line GPRS 3G
Access Point NAME: wap.vodafone.co.uk
username: wap
Password: wap
then for this connection you need to setup a proxy.
Http: 212.183.137.12:8799
This should work i think.
This is the cab file run it and it will install the vodafone internet and wap settings on your device then you dont need to enter any passwords etc.
I have done this and followed all the instruction byt cant get the tv to play it says unauthorised anyone any ideas
Cheers
Chris
excellent, working like a dream over here!
shame that the tv's buggered tho any progress on this working?
ERm is that Cab file Above Complete?
I ran it however it does not seem to have added any connection settings?
it changes the registry to point to /program files/vodafone uk contract
however when I browse for that directory it does not exist.
Is the Cab Above just for the Imate or would it work on a XDA EXEC Also?
Thats all i did and it installed the wap connection settings
I assume those guys getting Unauthorised Access are using Vodafone SIM cards with 3G enabled - otherwise you're wasting your time!
Hi,
I had a quick search but my problem persists, and please forgive me if this is silly, but I'm new to this Windows Mobile Stuff!
I'm trying to get Vodafone Live working on my Exec. I can get to the Vodafone Live homepage but it is text only, there are no photos or any 3G native content/options like video downloads.
I have set my access point as "internet" and username/password fields as "wap" but still no joy. What am I missing?
I know there is a CAB file on the i-mate website with the settings but cause I have the Exec I can't download it, please help!!!!!!
Unfortunately I don't think this can be done.
As with users who converted the v800 into the z800 even with the correct settings Vodafone live no longer recognises the device as 3g-live capable.
They use the HTTP user agent string to tailor the page to the device and if that changes (which it did V800->Z800) to one not currently used by a vodafone supplied device then the basic WAP style plaintext site is offered.
There's no way to spoof the user agent, don't forget the VPA IV isn't out yet, and even when it does arrive the user agent will likely be tweaked by the bespoke firmware, so even then you'll need to flash it with the horrid Vodafone red styling to see the correct Live site...
Incidentally, all you need to do to set up Vodafone 3G is use the APN name 'Internet' - the username and password fields are redundant, they can see the device is on their network and from the HLR I believe will already know you've access to 3G services so you just need to specify which APN you're looking to use.
I have a JJ and a 3G Vodafone SIM. The .cab files are just for the APN setup etc and like you I cant get the Vodafone content. It must have a URL but its not the default Live favorite on my JJ
No, it's the fact that the device passes a string to the webserver containing the identity of the user agent, and Vodafone don't sell a jasjar or an Exec, so don't have pages tailored for it.
Is this situation likely to change when the VDA IV get released?
if the VPA IV has a different user agent string then only if you use the voda firmware or someone works out how to customise them to that degree, otherwise no.
I HAVE XDA EXEC Working On Vodafone 3G & GRPRS
I have this working on my XDA EXEC.
Make Sure your phone is unlocked for Vodafone
Sim.
The access point is "internet" as you said, however the username and password are both "web" not "wap". Leave everything else as default.
tried your suggestion - no luck. i think the APN is for contract vodafone customers. PAYG has a diferent APN.
anyway, when you say it words, are you getting the full live! screens? i can only see the text (very wap looking) screens, and no links to entertainment, which i can see if i use my nokia 6330.
It appears this nice device (or at least all of WM5 devices) are not yet enough considered from SP as I cannot find any setup and/or settings for MMS and WEB connection settings anywhere...
www.clubimate.com only supply any kind of settings for any other SP but VODAFONE ITALY...
Their support (I-Mate) is also not present (I even tried calling them while in Dubai with no luck).
At VODAFONE Customer Service there are only chances to use the automated answering system or the website and again no one of them considers WM5 devices...
ANY HINT ???
With manual settings I entered I can do MMS -OR- WEB but I cannot get it configured to "automagically" use one of the two when needed. I always have to manually switch between them... :-(
Again: ANY HINT ???
Thanks a lot.
Hi Michele,
I am Italian too. Why do you switch them manually? In Connections/Advanced, the default connection should be not be the MMS one, but the internet one (APN: web.omnitel.it). The one used for MMS will be defined here but NOT selected as default. This needs to be indicated in MMS configuration in the Messaging application.
The problem that I have (with a Worldwide English K-Jam) is that I just can't make MMS work. I have tried all settings based on Vodafone Italy indications, but no joy.
Would you tell me your detailed settings to make it work?
Thanks.
Massimo
..
Thanks for this!
This is however not suitable for me, as I live in two countries (UK and Italy), and I do not want to hard reset just to fix my Italian MMS settings.
Would you be able to just give me your Voda IT MMS settings?
What I have done is:
1) Created a new connection with APN = mms.vodafone.it (everything else is default)
2) Created a new set of MMS settings in the MMS application, with:
Gateway = 10.128.224.10
Server = http://mms.vodafone.it/servlets/mms
Port number = 80
Connect via = the above created connection
WAP version = with this I am unsure, I tried both settings, but no joy.
With these settings, the phone tries to send or retrieve MMS's, correctly connecting to the APN and exchanging data. However I always get a vague error message in the end.
Can you let me know what you have done differently?
Thanks.
..
Many thanks for this!
I modified the config based on your comments. At a later stage I also went into the registry and manually modified some settings that looked different in your list. Still no joy!!!
:roll:
I am particularly puzzled by the Profile parameter, pointing to an XML file in a website. You claim this is very important. The default one points to a different XML file.
Question: how would the messaging application use this info? I mean, it is not possible to go out to the web using the MMS APN, so how is this Profile URL used?
I also tried to soft reset after changing that, still no joy....
..
..
Thanks for your great help.
Just to clarify, I normally live in the UK, but in this period I am in Italy, this is why I am configuring MMS on my Italian SIM card from Vodafone Italy.
And I've got very good news: everything now works!
I am not really sure how, I simply reset everything back to my original config, doing a few soft resets in between, and now I can send and receive MMS's.
By the way, that IP must only be used in the Gateway field in MMS configuration. Using it as the IP in the connection panel makes it impossible for the phone to connect to the APN (which is logical).
Again thanks for your help.
I have seen many posts but have not been able to get this to work. I have modified the line to be Nokia6800 or Nokia6300 but all I get when it is connected is the words locating at the bottom of PIE? Has anyone successfully connected to it recently and does any one have working settings for the above.
chyanmor
what do you call Vodaphone Live! ? the wap portal of your provider ?
you should tell us which provider you use so we can help you
each provider has its own settings and a different URL for the wap portal
Hi,
I am trying to the get the PIE to look up live.vodafone.co.uk. I have set the settings as in http://www.clieuk.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?p=34134. However can't get the vodafone page to come up. First of all it said time out and since adding the proxy address in as DNS server it now says it can't locate the page. I have seen some other pages similarly suggesting the browser UA should be Nokia6630?
Any ideas
Hi chyanmor
I also read the same post on that forum and was still having difficulty. I found the default installed streaming media player (HTC Version 2.00 Build602.618) on the Vodafone v1605 UK also has an UA setting under HKLM\software\HTC\Streaming\UserAgent ....I changed the string to this Nokia6680/1.0 (Symbian OS/8.0; Nokia; Series60/2.06)/Netfront3.3 which is the same for Pocket IE. It now shows Vodafone Live with the correct colour icons, links and streams the video content including YouTube with a single click in Pocket IE.
I have searched this and other forums and never seen this key piece of info and hope it helps others ....I also hope it wasn't obvious or posted here and I never found it ......Aaaargh!
Enjoy
PS
The proxy server should not be added as a DNS entry
