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.

How can I show the Cell ID/Name on Today screen

I just applied this registry hack
Show Network Operator Name in today screen
Restoring Today Item: WiFi, BT and Phone Connection Status
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items]
Create "Wireless" use Key
"Flags"=dword:00000000
"Options"=dword:00000000
"DLL"="netui.dll"
"Order"=dword:00000000
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
"Type"=dword:00000004
to my imate jasjam and it works a treat. I wondering is there another hack or option to show the Cell Name/ID that the phone is currently connected to. Much like the option "Cell Info Display" on the Nokia phones.
Cheers

phoneAlarm does it.

On the Hermes, you can use the FieldTest.exe app available on the Wiki to view realtime raw statistics about the cells you're connected to and the various aspects of your connection, but as far as I know there's no tool to show the cell ID and the stuff the Nokia would show.
That didn't always work for me though on the Nokias I had... Depended on which phone I did it on, very odd.

Hello and happy new year to everybody,
a newbie question: I did the indicated trick and I display not only my carrier name, but also Wifi and BT status, plus my owner info.
I would like to display the carrier name only. Is that possible?
Thanks,
Richard

I think many people on XDA have been searching for a solution... and I think its been out there for quite a while!
You need to download this today screen plugin - it is able to show Cell Broadcast messages on the today screen, besides other nifty stuff. Best of all, its FREE!
http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_BatteryStatus_XDA_Neo_WM5_def_iM_cs.htm
Next, you also need to subscribe to the Cell Broadcast feature. It is located in your phone settings, under the "More" Tab. Enable Cell Broadcast, and add Channel 50 to the list of subscribed channels.
Channel 50 is the one that shows you the cell/area name (only on networks that support it) - the same ones you see on non-smartphone Nokia or Ericsson handsets.
I'm going to try it out myself now...
EDIT: It works! Brilliant!

Yes atlast something to cheer about
I was looking for this for long time, Have installed the extended version, I think its still not perfect when it comes to display area info. its better then commMgr by the way.

Cell info in 3G
Can anyone explain why I rarely see the cell info when the phone has 3G connectivity. If I turn off 3G, I get the cell info messages!
On my wife's Nokia, the cell info comes up in 3G or 2G coverage!

link

I have also been trying this without success. I currently have two versions of the SKY+ Java software, one which works with the touchscreen one which doesnt. the touchscreen one always times out during connection whereas the non touchscreen one says "The data connection has failed" whenever I press the login button. The app itself seems very compatible and appears to fill the WVGA screen very nicely, however we will need someone who knows a little more about how to "point the the java app in the right internet direction" (excuse my non technical description, this is where my technical ability runs out ) the java emulator itself does not help much as it contains no options to apply to the app

I have it working great. Just install the JBED Java version and then install it from inside that. It only logs in when you have the Vodafone proxy disabled though.
It's great to have a 50 channel EPG!!

could you please expand a little, how do you 'disable the vodafone proxy'? as far as I can tell that doesnt really make any sense! I really want to get this software working so any help you can give as to how you set yours up would be most appreciated, Thankyou

This worked for me:
Install Jbed attached above and use it to install the Sky.jar program.
On your Xperia go through:
settings
then select the connections tab
then the connections icon
followed by the advanced tab
Now chosse the select networks button and in the top drop down menu (the connection for programs which automatically connect to the net to use) and change it to "WEB" rather than "My ISP".
My ISP uses wap.vodafone.co.uk as an access point name via a proxy server.
WEB uses "internet" as an access point name without using a proxy server.
You do need to also do the following to get the service runiing:
1. Register for "my sky" at the sky website.
2. Add remote recording to the list of services runningon your my sky account
3. Activate remote recording on your sky box through its menu system
I've tested it out and I can access the 7day listing guide and send record instructions straight to the box (only takes 1-2mins).

Has anyone got this working on an o2 X1 - I don't have a "Web" option in my connections!

The WEB is a Vodafone name. I know o2 work on the same type of system (web and wap) so if you list what's available we should be able to take a guess at which one you should be using.

Hi artesea, thanks for your response. I have just tried again.... the o2 X1 has a choice of My ISP or Work Internet - so selected Work Internet and bingo it all loaded at connected at last
Tested it and within five seconds it updated my sky HD box!!!!
Thanks all!

Hi,
Sorry for the slight change in direction in the topic but it is relevent (hopefully you guys will agree)
whats the difference between "My ISP" and "work Internet" other than one points to the providers proxy server? Im with o2 and have the unlimited web bolt on - is this only unlimited web as long as i go through the "My ISP" connection?
If not, I dont actually see the point in going through the ISP's proxy at all?
Cheers,
Craig

Both Vodafone and o2 have two types of connections, can't remember the exact names so I'll call them INTERNET and WAP.
They were set up back in the day when the internet on your mobile was WML files and not much else.
WAP would allow you to access the internet on your phone, mainly to the companies own portal (Vodafone Live! etc).
INTERNET was to be used by a computer connected to the phone via Infrared or data cable. The networks have compressors at their end to decrease the size of the files to make it quicker and cheaper (you might notice images look crap). Connecting over WAP wouldn't work.
Since then phones have got very smart, and networks are getting behind.
For example you can't access Vodafone Live! whilst using INTERNET, but then you can't access a 3rd party app on WAP.
I can see that some apps are being allow over WAP (google maps), however I've found it a lot easier to have everything running over INTERNET.
Not 100% sure if o2 will allow you to use INTERNET in your bundle, but Vodafone do.

Can someone post the Sky Remote Record java app? Or at least post a link where they found it. I have it working on my X1 but the program size is so small it is hard to read.

How do you get around the issue of logging in using an O2 X1? I have the app installed and can enter username and password but can't select login. I saw a suggestion was to map the left and right keys to volume up and down (think it was for a differernt handset though) but when in the buttons settings there is no options to remap these keys to volume.

The left and right buttons are mapped to Login and Exit already.
My problem is the network not found problem. Like hell I'm installing another Java. I did that with my old Polaris and had nothing but problems afterwards.

But on my handset (and I know some other peoples) the login button (left softkey) does not function so you can't even login. It would appear that some people have a workaround for this, just wondering what that is.

after a bit of hair pulling i finally managed to get this to work at last.
I finally bit the bullet and de-vodafoned my device to the new R2A ROM (using SD card method - see other threads for more info).
I use AE Button Plus to remap the left and right soft keys to "hard" keys (select left key -> 3. Handle by AEBplus -> 1. single press -> 11. press left soft key. Same for right (soft)key). After hitting OK choose file then "save & exit"
This might help O2 users with the connection setup.

If you are looking for the two applications required then goto message #3 of this thread (thats on page 1) then click the link. Goto message #4 of the resulting thread for links to the applications

Help
I have reassigned the left and right key with AE Button Plus but still cannot login or exit via the keys?
Any help out there?

For me, the hard key to log in would only work when the keyboard is open. Odd, but gets around it and I can now at least remote record.
I have just assigned the buttons, so they always operate the softkeys, which is a bit annoying as I prefered one for rotate screen. Is there a way to only map the buttons within the Java app?

Thanks sebring
This appears to be the same for me.
Keyboard open and the reassigned keys work....really strange that.
Thanks again.

[Q] Simple software to automatically disable GPRS/UMTS data while roaming?

Hi out there,
searching for a while now. Found nothing, but CommMgrPro which is way to much.
I search for a simple software to automatically disable GPRS/UMTS data while roaming and enable it back when logged into my provider again.
Would be nice to have more than one "home" provider.
Any hints? Thanks and happy holidays.

the simplest way is change your mobile while roaming
i was surprised that my htc touchpro activate
data communication automatically while i
had disactivated data com before.

Modaco NoData

Thanks. At least a simple way to enable and disable.
My problem is that i live close to the boarder (germany/france) and that i flip into roaming here really fast.
An automatic solution is needed very urgend.
Locking to my provider is ok, but the htc asks me what provider to join, when back.
All that sucks.
I cant believe that there is no solution.
Is CommMgrPro able to handle that?

Nobody?
Nobody else who got this problem and nobody who got a solution?
Is CommMgrPro able to handle that? The documentation is bad.

Maybe you can PM danielherrero.
He's the creator of CommMgrPro.

I am very interested in this as well - and from my searching seems a lot of others would be interested in an automated system.
My network provider automatically roams to another specific provider when in a non-coverage area (small pockets within metro areas and rural). The problem is that the data cost when roaming is ridiculous. I use Push Email for work and while on roaming want GPRS access to be disabled until I am connected back with my provider.
I've installed NoData by MoDaCo which is good but this requires the user to remember to enable/disable GPRS.
*EDIT*
I found exactly what I needed after a more searching - Wombat's PhoneRoam Script (Stay Connected to High Speed Networks Only). Will see whether it does the job

I agree to have more that only one network provider. Here in Belgium we can subscribe to Vodafone passport that enable to use "free" of charge the data on any Vodafone network, but when I go in France it switch to other provider and in that case my push mail is expensive... I'm also in the boarder of France.
So basicaly :
1/ A very very simple prg that disable the data automatically if roaming.
2/ A version 2 that would put all permited network provider even if roaming.
Thanks

This thing exists for the iPhone. Its a simple switch in the interface.
You can select "Data-Roaming" on/off, thats all.
Where is it in WM?

Modaco is fine but when you are at the border is quite difficult to follow your carrier and disable data time by time...or even remember you are switching to another country after few km and you always have one app trying to connect (Tomtom, weather, opening a mail...)
Modaco it's what I use actually but let me forget stressing an unwanted roaming data connection...
a+

Used NoData and application is still able to connect...
Hi,
I switched off all data connections in the registry (using frost Advanced Config, than also tried NoData) and in general windows mobile apps aren't able to connect... but I have a one third party application, which is somehow able to ignore that and connect even when the data connection is toggled to DISABLED...
Any ideas how to REALLY disable data connections (for roaming)...

here is the automatic solution http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503131
this will automatically disable ALL data in roaming and re-enable under home provider without any user configuration - nothing to toggle

Disable Data and stay off!

I do not have Data on my contract (orange) and am quite happy using Wifi at home and work,but I find my phone likes to switch over when it feels like it to HSDPA etc.
In options I switch data to off but my phone likes to overide this! I have to race to switch it off to avoid an enhanced monthly bill!
Does anyone know how to stop this?
Thanks

Your phone will use which ever is giving the best signal - I would imagine wifi by default...

Or Try app like NoDate

omg, this is the zillion time when somebody ask that question
why don't you use the search option? as somebody said, "search is your friend".
ok, i will write here what can you do, beside use nodata or other application
maybe a mod can add it to wiki...
so:
settings-connections-connections-advanced-select networks
go to "Programs that automatically connect to the Internet..."
on the pop up menu chose each option that includes your phone network operator (in my case is Orange and one of the options looks like "Orange Internet") - edit - proxy settings and here uncheck the box "This network connects to the Internet"
repeat the procedure for each option that has your operator name included
a soft reset may be recomended but not absolutely necessary!
after that the network icon (G or E or whatever) will be gray and no data transmission will be allowed. if it is not grey, then your settings are not right.
et voila! There you are!
good luck!
