I have a T-Mobile MDA Vario (XDA Mini S) I am using with an O2 pay and go sim card. I can get my gprs working fine and my wireless working fine but not at the same time. everytime I want to use one or the other I have to take out the proxy server settings. Does anybody have a solution for this without having to keep doing this.

Hi
I got my GPRS activated on my I-Mate & is working very fine on nearly all the websites.
Is it possible that I can use this GPRS connection on my Laptop HP NX 7000 so as to surf from my Laptop???
Thanks

Hi, got a new XDA Exec on 02 and am trying to work out how to get connected to the internet and email. Anyone got any recommendations for a good ISP? What is everyone else using?
Thanks for any help and happy new year!
hi!
happy new year to you too!
your ISP is actually your mobile carrier.... in your case, if you bought the exec from o2, then o2 are the isp
on an o2 exec, they are pre-configured for gprs or 3g internet access out of the box on the o2 network......providing you have used a sim that has data facilities enabled.....just click on the internet explorer icon and it should connect automatically
if you are using someone else's sim (i think the exec comes sim unlocked) then you will need to maually create the connections for that mobile provider (start, settings, connections, add new connection)
www.filesaveas.com/gprs.htm is a good source for all the major mobile providers settings
if you are connecting via wifi, then that is governed by the wifi device.....in hotspots it generally is pay as you go (btopenzone, tzones etc) but obvioulsy a home it is just picking up your home wifi connection
hope this helps!
Thanks!
Thanks for your help! I can now connect to the internet! I used the 02 settings. Also discovered the joy of there being Wifi at the station when the trains were cancelled but wasn't able to log on as it didn't accept the phone number it asked for when selecting O2 as the provider for some reason. Haven't worked out how to get email yet either but that's my next challenge!
Thanks again
went to use my O2 xda exec (with pay and go vodafone 3g aim inserted) to go on msn messenger but it wouldn't connect the previous day the same internet settings worked (pp.vodafone.co.uk for access point name and wap for both password and user). I tried using a few other connections i found by searching google but still no luck and i've tried using internet explorer to surf internet and again to connection.
Is anyone else experiencing the same problem?
Could this be vodafone are not allowing pay and go internet services for universals in the uk like o2 well that was what i was told by staff at my local o2 shop reasoning for my switch to vodafone as this worked.
thanks.
Hi all,
I have a T-Mobile MDA Vario II, and I cannot connect to the internet, or send and receive email. I can, however, connect to my wireless LAN.
My vario DOES connect to 3g (or shows it's connected) but I keep getting 'This page cannot be displayed' error while surfing.
Can anyone supply me with the correct settings I need to use to connect?
Thanks guys, and gals.

It's aknown problem with T-Mobile. It's been happening for around two weeks now with no sign of a resolution. T-Mobile can't be bothered to inform its customers but if you phone you'll be told to use GPRS.
All working for me, both GPRS and 3G.
Have you tried changing your dns servers?
Try 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2

My Vario II was having the same problem.
Switched to GPRS and it worked. I then used the Fit4Cat program to disable HSDPA. This resulted in me falling back to 3G and everything working perfectly!
HSDPA was working fine for me since the Vario II was first launched but the last few weeks I've had no joy.
I might phone T-Mobile and see if HSDPA has been disabled on my account. If it has, then the sneaky swines must've disabled it.
Thanks guys, I'll give your sugestions a go today and report back.

Hi I have an O2 XDA Exec (personal contract) with the BB Connect software up and running. I also have a Blackberry 8700 that connects to BES at work on the O2 network (BT Mobile I think). I can get BB Connect to work with regards to email, and everything works well
However, when I use the blackberry I can use Opera Mini to surf the web and Google Maps Mobile, so I know I have access to data.
When I put the SIM card in the XDA I can't seem to get the data connection working. I have tried several APNs - o2.wap.co.uk; mobile.o2.co.uk and blackberry.net, but none seem to give me access.
I am aware that my compnay may well have blocked some ports/protocols, but as I can access Opera Mini and Google Maps from the blackberry there must be data there somewhere. Anyone got any ideas as to how I could do it?

As far as I know blackberry and internet are two different connections. As you can use blackberry on your universal you need to get the internet connection setting from your provider (It should be here in the forum as well) and manually create a connecting setting and you should be able to view the web pages as well.
When you use the internet connection your BB connection will be disconnected as you cannot have two connections at the same time.
Hope this helps.
Right, it's taken me a while, but I've got a bit further with this. The reason my blackberry can access data, but using the same SIM in my Universal it can't is all to do with the blackberry connect client.
As my companies SIM won't enable 'data' (ie the WAP or internet APN) the data is coming via the Balckberry BES MDS service. This allows the BES to act as a kind of proxy for data.
The bad news is that the Blackberry connect client on WM5 doesn't support MDS. The good news is that the Blackberry Suite for WM6 that has just been announced http://www.techatplay.com/2007/04/24/blackberry-to-run-on-windows-mobile-6/ should.
Bring it on!
