I'm not a pro on this technology, so my apologies in advance if this isn't worded correctly....
I recently purchased a TyTN from Expansys to use on the Softbank network in Japan (as well as overseas without a SIM lock). I got a Softbank SIM card yesterday, and the phone function works fine, but I've had no luck connecting to the 3G network here.
I spent a couple of hours at the Softbank shop trying to work it out, and comparing the settings on my TyTN with their X01HT, but after entering the same configuration, there was still no connection. The guys at Softbank reckon its simply not possible to connect with a non-Softbank Hermes. Before I give up, and try to send back my TyTN for a refund, I thought I'd check with the experts....is this really impossible?
FWIW, here are the settings and the result.
1. Start > Settings > Connections > My ISP > Add a new modem connection
2. Enter a name for the connection: Softbank 3G
3. Select a modem: Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G) (This is "packet tsushin"
on the Softbank X01HT, but I assume these are the same thing. Is that
correct?)
4. Access point name: open.softbank.ne.jp (Same as the setting on the
Softbank X01HT)
5. User name: opensoft (Same as the setting on the Softbank X01HT)
6. Password: (when I entered the user name, this was entered
automatically and has the same number of characters as the password on
the Softbank X01HT, so I assume this is correct)
7. I have left the advanced settings as they are, which is the same as
the Softbank X01HT
When I try to connect I get the following message.
Cannot Connect
Dialed: open.softbank.ne.jp
The answering modem has disconnected.
To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap Settings.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You need to install the CAB files to enable softbank to work. Search this thread and read a lot. There are two CAB files.

Just to let you know that the settings provided by Vodafone Ireland DO work perfectly, BUT not in all areas of Dublin !!!
For days I was getting the message that there was no answer from the number dialed when trying to connect to the GPRS network but Vodafone Data Centre couldn't figure it out until I told them that it works perfectly in some parts of the city. They are now investigating a potential GPRS problem with some of their cells. I have found them to be very helpful if you need asistance.

Hi
what's the Vodafone phone number for connecting to GPRS in Ireland.
Kind regards
Tormey_no10
968 788743 668437 382537
Turn the number into text if it's unclear - the xda phone keypad should help :wink:
Vodafone Ireland
Has anyone managed to get Vodafone GPRS working properly around Dublin ? I have used all the settings provided by their Data Centre but can't get it to work. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
I have just unlocked my XDA II (PPC2003) and inserted my 087 Vodafone SIM. GPRS is working fine but when connected to GPRS and I either make or receive a voice call the GPRS connection is dropped. when I try to re-connect it tells me that the answering modem is not responding (isp.vodafone.ie). I need to soft-boot the device or turn wireless off then on again to be able to re-connect to GPRS. Anyone had this and can anyone help solve it.

Happy new year to all
I got my xda ii couple days ago and trying to set up the internet on it. I don't have a GPRS data plan because it's quite costly here in Canada ($20 for 3mb). I have a RAS server at home using ADSL which capable of connecting any desktop or laptop to internet using phone line dialup. However, when i try to setup the connection for my xda ii, it received the following message:
Cannot Connect
Dialed: +9059999999
---------------------------------------------------
No modem at above number. To check your
connection settings and change them if
needed, tap settings.
Settings Dismiss
My Settings:
Start\Settings\Connections\Connections\My ISP\Test1
Select a modem: cellular line
Phone number: +9059999999 (9999999 assume it's my home phone)
User name: test1
Password: xxxxx
Again, when i use a laptop to dial in from a remote location, it works. So the RAS server works fine.
I don't hear any sounds from the xda nor my home phone rings. Not sure if i need a driver for it. I m in Canada using Rogers AT&T.
Thanks

Same problem
I'm also a recent XDA II user and am experienceing the same problem with my ISP in Austrlia. As I understood the doco, we should be able to dial into an ISP just like on a PC with land line. I hope this can work.

Dialing Pattern
In the XDA I, it has Dialing Pattern setting. Default at (+EFG), where E=country code, F=area code, G=tel number). If the number u put in the Telephone Number field includes Country, then modify Dialing Patter to (G) only.

On the Australian Telstra network, to use straight GSM dail through you should set the CSD Line Type to 9600 V.32. It ain't fast be it is cheaper than the standard 2c per K on GPRS.
is this your problem
http://www.expansys.com/forumthread.asp?code=106055&thread=48&man=O2
I was having the same problem you were having. I configured and got the GPRS and mms working and now all of the sudden the dial into ras using cellular gsm works ? Go figure

Let me furnish the detailed setting, assuming T-Mobile USA (adjust it accordingly if your service provider is a different one.)
Start | Settings | Connections tabb | Connections
... to The Internet ... [New ...]
General tab: [CSD Dial-up ISP Conn]
Modem tab: New ...
Name: [ISP Modem Conn]
Modem: [Cellular Line]
Baud rate: [19200] (you can leave this default alone but 9600 is high enough)
Leave Advanced ... settings alone
Country code: [1]
Area code: [425] (my default, leave it alone)
Phone Number: [4257861000]
Finish
Leave Proxy Settings alone
For free ISP's, see FAQ
http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/portal.php?device=ppcpe
Back at the Connections page:
Dialing Locations tab:
Locations: [Home]
Click on Dialing Patterns ...
Put [G][G][G] as instructed by jcabuslay above. This step is critically important and where I was stuck. T-Moble tier 2 tech guy got me over the hump (first 2 tier 2's didn't really know how; it took 3 tier 2's to get it right!). Note T-Mobile US uses plain 10 digit dialing plan for US domestic long distance (optionally preceded with a 1 works too) and G fits that.
Click on Connect to connect. Or start to browse the internet and the connection is made on demand.
The first time connecting, you are promted for username and password, which are saved (but you can't get to it to see or change them; you can only delete the whole setting and recreate it in case you needed to change username or password).
I create a Work CSD setting for dialing up to work modem pool similarly. I use
http://www.mochasoft.dk/f_download2.html
for access to my UNIX account at work over the Work CSD setting.
Chances are that the LAN you dial up to at work is connected to Internet so you can avoid the hastle of finding a free ISP.
CSD connection comes handy since by and large, when you are not at work is when you need to make the connection, i.e. nights and weekends, when T-Mobile US is free - you get free data / Internet connection.
When the issue of making XDA your Internet gateway is resolved, this CSD connection would allow your laptop to have Internet on the go, see thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=6378
If you can get your XDA to behave as a wireless modem, you can create similar CDS settings on your laptop.
Have fun!
i'm trying to make an ATD call to conenct to a remote unit in order to make a CSD connection. However i get a NOCARRIER error. I called the network poeple and they tell me i need to select GPRS or CSD before doing an ATD.
Would someone agree with that ?? How would i do so ? (guessing its an AT command)
I am using a Treo 750v and when I try to setup a CSD dial-up connection I can't find the settings for: "Baud rate: [19200] (you can leave this default alone but 9600 is high enough)" anywhere.
I can select Modem: "Cellular Line" but no other sub-settings. Any idea?
Thanks!
I'v got Cingular 8525 unlocked from USA. I connected it to Orange in Israel.
Device shows that he connected to UMTS (U) and calls are ok but I am unable to conect to Internet or send mail SMS and MMS. What should I do?
Is that related to ROM version
call your telco service department and ask them for the operator settings. you will have to configure your device network settings for MMS, internet access etc.
I too use my TyTN on Orange in Israel.
Go to [Start] [Settings] [Connections]
Click on add a new modem connection in MY ISP
Name it something like "Orange"
chooseCellular Line (GPRS, 3G) under select a modem.
click next
under acces point name type "internet" with no quotes.
leave user name password etc. blank
click on finish
i dont know if this is necessary, but mine is set up this way.
Go to [Start] [Settings] [Connections]
click on advanced tab
click on select networks
i choose My ISP under both boxes
click ok.
I think for sms you go to
cGo to [Start] [Settings]
click on phone
highlight voicemail and text messages click on get settings and it will automatically configure from the orane network.
What is amazing to me is that I uses a Moto Q on Verizon EVDO in the states and the TyTN on Orange Israel is faster and more stable in terms of holding the internet connection. I am trying to cancel my verizon plan so i can use the TyTN in the states on Cingular as well.
i'm french and i'm in israel now
i have a qtek 9100 and Orange , but with this settings i can't connect to internet in GPRS
can you help me ?

Most operators require independent activation of voice/SMS/data services while Roaming abroad.
SMS by themselves use to be activated by default, since most providers do not charge for "incoming" SMS while Roaming.
Data is a more complex issue, since this may require adjusting settings.
Hope it helps.

I'm trying to get my Vario II to act as a wireless modem to my laptop.
I've downloaded and installed generic modem driver for my laptop, initiated the WModem program on the Vario - and Windows (XP) does detect the modem. In fact, Device Manager correctly reports a "HTC USB Modem" as present and correct.
I've also tried to create a DUN setting for this configuration but I'm not sure what setting to use. For example, do I need a username and password and, if so, what are these? Or do I need to set an actual telephone number to dial out?
Any help appreciated. I really need a connection between my laptop and Vario before I go on business next week (to somewhere without wi-fi but with 3G).
Cheers.
Bobby

you will need to get the userid and password from your telco for GPRS conection settings thru PPC from laptop.
WM6 internet sharing does not require this
Yes, I have used the UK Vario II as a wireless modem successfully. You use the same settings in the modem as you use for GPRS and it works fine.

Thanks Paul. Where do I find these settings?
T-mobile do a good range of on line manuals and I found the settings I needed to connect my laptop via my Hermes there. I'll post details tomorrow.

Bill - That would be great since I still can't get it to work. Cheers.

I've cut and pasted this from the site at https://www.t-mobile.co.uk/personal/pages.do/help-and-advice/phone-support/phone-manuals
Find the manual for "T-Mobile MDA Vario II"
The "Featured Instructions" have a section "Connecting To The Internet" with the option "Set up a GPRS data connection for WAP and Internet"
Personally I use these setting with the software from PDANet (www.junefabrics.com/pdanet/) to connect my laptop to the outside world with my usb cable with my T-Mobile sim card (Vodafone badged TyTN)!

Bluetooth
I am trying to use another phone as a modem. The other phone is a Nokia 6120c which has no Infrared.
According to the instructions above I need infrared - is there anyway to do it via blue tooth?
I have got as far as creating a bluetooth connection between the 2; however the user/one2one/*99# settings don't seem to work.
Any advice would be welcomed.....
Hello people
I've just come into possession of an 02 branded HTC Universal, which has been unlocked.
Everything works fine except for 3G data/internet. The phone can find a 3G (UMTS) network, but it can't use it for any kind of data.
I have a web'n'walk (3G) tariff, and I've tested my SIM card in a T-mobile phone and 3G works fine. So tariff and SIM are fine.
The problem must be with the phone. T mobile say it's not their handset so they can't help - so I'm depending on you lot!
Are there some settings I need to change to make this work on Tmobile's network? There's GPRS settings, modem connection settings etc. Any of those could be the culprit. I've tried settnig up a modem connection with general.t-mobile.uk, without putting in any username, password or domain, and that doesn't work.
Any ideas greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Sharif
yeah u need to input the settings
goto connections and add new modem connection and type in 'T-mobile Internet'
then click next and in the access point type in 'general.t-mobile.uk'
then the next page your on to the username password settings where use the following
username: t-mobile
password: one2one
Do you know the 3 uk settings?
I have the same problem but i'm now on the 3 network.
http://www.europe.htc.com/support/software/htcp3600.html
use the program at the bottom of the page "network settings wizard" sure its not for the universal but it works. I used it to setup my three settings.
