Mate, you're not alone, and you've come to the right place.
Now take a deep breath, and let's deal with one thing at a time.
Your profile shows you have the original O2 XDA, or 'Wallaby" device. This device doesn't support MMS without additional software, so you'll need to say what MMS software (if any), you're using.
Regarding WAP / GPRS settings, you'll need to say what service provider you're with, and then we can help with that. When I had my XDA I was happily browsing the Net via GRPS, so don't despair, it can be done. As a first step, tap the service / antenna icon on the start bar (next to the speaker icon): Look for a little 'G' in the window that pops up. If you have one, you're halfway there because that means your SIM card is provisioned for GPRS by your telco.
One you confirm that, and say what provider you're with, we can configure your settings.
As a guide, if you have all your access point info, the most common problem on the Wallaby is the dialing-pattern settings under locations in the connections applet. By default the XDA adds your country and area code info before the access point name, and that stops it from connecting.
Regarding not seeing the names of people calling you, check that your country setting is correct, which you'll find under 'tools' - 'options' in your Contacts application. If it is, also remove the area code info, as it probably isn't needed.
I've experienced a problem with names not being displayed on received SMSes, which was resolved with the 'Paragon SMS Name Patch', so that may help you too. Just search the forums for it and you'll find a download link. To install it you'll need ActiveSync to be configured & working.
Give me some more info & I'll see what I can do for you.

Doe anyone know of a good source for APN names, and login info for networks around the world.
I wouldn't mind SMS service-centre numbers, radio bands used, exact radio frequencies used etc too, if I could get it.
I've cut-and-paseted some stuff from the web, but it's very incomplete.

I have a question regarding how the network provider is displayed.
I have seen several Hermes with different ROMs at work. On some, the long (or full) name of the network carrier is displayed while on others it is abbreviated although the same SIM card is used. Is there a registry entry or something that can tweak this?
Thank you!
Anyone able to point me to a resource for getting APN and such info?
All my previous phones set it automatically, and they didn't have half as many settings as this.
(I'm on Three UK).

I have an HD2 (australian -Telstra NextG) 1.72.841.0 WWE Rom.
Works fine with the Telstra Sim and Data access is fine.
I'm setting up with an alternate sim - "Roaming Sim" (Sim with UK based number and data) so I can ease the roaming costs when I travel outside Australia.
New Sim works fine on voice calls, but there is a block when I try to access data.
The following message is displayed ...
Message ID:
FILTER_DENIED
Problem Description
Your system was configured to deny access to this URL.
Possible Problem Cause
Request denied, as specified in the local filter list configuration.
Possible Solution
Contact your network support team if this problem persists.
Data connection is fine with the Telstra Sim, but with the alternate sim and settings the above block stops any data access.
Any assistance would be much appreciated. Thanks
who is the sim with in the uk?
Settings -> All Settings -> Connections -> Connections -> Advanced -> Select Networks -> Edit (if you already have the details) or New (if you don't) for the data connection for the SIM. Make sure that all the settings are correct for the new SIM (you can easily find them with a search of the internet).

The sim is marketed under the name "Roaming Sim" - for international travel - I believe it is an Irish based company, but the number is +44 prefix so a UK based number.
Their help desk was not very helpful "there is money in your account so things should work properly" and "no-one here has a HTC HD2, so we don't know what to suggest".
Thanks.

Thanks for the trail of where to change the settings - I've set the sim up as per their meager info and I've checked their web site for any info on the problem I'm having - nothing specific to assist there.
On a web search I found mention of a similar error message related to PCs and it was pointing to Proxy setting issues, but there are no Proxy Setting in Cellular Line (GPRS) setup (in setting up the APN for this sim).
I've also done a google of the exact error message in quotes and come up with no listings, hence me coming to the gurus at xda.

No I've checked that with supplier and Data is enabled with the sim.
I've contacted the Australian supplier of the sim and I'm waiting on their tech guru to phone me to try and work through the problem. I'll post if/when I get some resolution.
But don't let that stop you guys from having a go - so far the sim supplier's technical assistance has been very pleasant, but less than actually helpful at resolving the problem.

ok made sure you got the correct internet settings in the phone?
Thanks for the assistance - I have discovered the problem - it was me (obviously).
When I set up the New Network Settings I did not select Proxy settings and therefore did not check "This network connects to the internet".
If you do this (as above) then save - you can't come back to fix the error because you are not offered the Proxy Settings tab if the box wasn't checked on setup.
I've now set up a New network setting, (with Proxy- This network - checked) and I can now access data and URLs.
Thanks for taking the time to help me out, perhaps this might assist another nooby down the track.
