Hi all,
I guess this post applies to us Aussies who use Vodafone with their O2 XDA II Mini.
Id like to be able to get online, surf the web, msn etc with my device but as yet, i am unable to.
I've tried calling Vodafone so they can provide me with some help but no luck
Im able to send and receive SMS messages, MMS messages but thats about it.
Can anyone help?
doesnt anyone use this device in australia ?
Hello,
Have you tried looking at the Magician directory in the xdadev ftp? The config files for Vodafone should be somewhere in the extended roms folder. I'm not a Voda user, but I use Optus, and the Optus cabs works like a charm. Or alternatively, you can try using the autoconfig built-in with your phone. Hope this helps.

Hi,
I just unlocked my XDA II and I'm using a Vodafone SIM in it. How do I utilize GPRS, WAP and Modem connectivity with this SIM? Is it possible to get rid of all the O2 crap installed on it, i.e. "clean" it up properly?
A new skin would be cool!
Cheers,

you are by no means the first who ask this question
And what's the answer? Is it possible at all?

Thomas
yes it possible the xda is not limited to o2 in anyway
you just have to set it up
to do this you need to know the connection point your provider use for mms, grps and wap (if you also want that)
there are many posts which explane how you set it up in the network forum
but if you cant find any i could explane it step by step i suppose
i dont know much about o2's settings but if it's today stuff you can turn it off under today in settings
otherwise you can always make your own rom at www.yorth.net and get a more pure non o2 custom rom
you can get tons of skins as in today skins on many sites
and at yorth.net you can also get phone skins or have explaned how to make them yourself
Works fine now, thanks. Vodafone's acces point is named 'internet' (which was easy to read off the SIM), and the user/passwd is web/web (had to call them up to get that). So GPRS works fine. Needs some more info to set a Modem connection, but it shouldn't be hard.
The reason for my original posting, was that I was lead to believe that O2 had "locked" the device, which is not the case at all.
Anyway, thanks for info. Btw, the link you mention does not work...
Cheers,

my bad
http://www.yorch.net/
spelling issue
Ttm, I'm confused. :shock: I am in the same situation as you (xda II with vodafone sim), yet i cannot connect GPRS using your settings. The settings I connect with are APN: pp.vodafone.co.uk with the same user/password as you. This connects fine yet i cannot send or receive emails.
Am i doing something wrong? have i missed something in the setup? what do you reckon? :?:
cheers, coj
well one thing is to be able send mails and another is to get mail working
can you get IE working ?
Yes, IE is working fine and dandy
then i doubt it's a grps issue
if you put in all the mail settings like
pop3 and smpt if you used those protocols
and it still dont work with your type of mail protocol
then i would contact the phone company to see if they rout
your type of mails
Would anyone be able to take the time to post here in detail the settings for O2 MMS in Ireland on a contract bill plan?
I was on to o2 support but it didn't work and got the impression the staff wasn't really up to 100% on the XDA - probably more used to regular cellphones.
I'd appreciate the help from someone with a working mms service on o2 contract.
Many thanks to all
Conor
you could try the o2 website,
there is a section in mms area (get the settings), which allows you to send yourself the appropriate settings via sms.
try it anyway and let us know how u get on.
I'm in the north so the settings may not be applicable for your region.
good luck anyway.
Thanks but no settings there
Cheers, but they only allow you to send the settings and install them automatically by sms. There's no option to send to an XDA - just Nokia etc...
Can someone just copy them down here from their o2 monthly contract XDA?
Thanks again
Conor
ok conor,
we'll give it a go then, what details do you need and I'lli try to supply them.
MMS blues...
Thanks David!
I'm not sure if N. Ireland settings are the same for Galway but sure, let's see!
For a start, does it connect via MMS Network, or GPRS or My ISP, or The Internet etc.?
I can't send at all. But I do receive notifications of a new mms and who it's from, but when I tap download it tries to download but gets stuck there forever without succeeding. Here's what I got from o2 support but it doesn't work.
Connect to server O2IE (the server name)
Gateway - 192.168.090.074
Server address http://mmsc.mms.o2.ie:8002 (I think!)
Thanks again!

MMS O2 Ireland
Hi Dan
Thanks for that - but I doubt the uk settings would work in Ireland.
O2 here tried to help so I guess I'm registered for these services.
GPRS works fine the prob is just MMS
Thanks again though!
If any Irish o2 pay monthly users could copy down their settings it might help.
Best regards to all
Conor
Conor,
sorry this took so long, got kinda busy elsewere.
have just looked and the connection was set on My Work Network,
I thought it was/should be, via the MMS network.
will have to try and see if it is still working.
the rest of the settings you gave matched mine except for the .ie replacing the .uk, and different gateway no's, this again could be a UK thing.
If I remember correctly I had some serious trouble at the beginning, I think it was something to do with the Rom version, when I upgraded it from 1.60, the MMS service started to function perfectly.
Rom?
Hi
My ROM is 1.60.00WWE
do you know if I'm up to date?
Cheers!
Conor
Hi Conor,
If you unlock your extended rom, there will be a couple of files relating to O2 customisation. It's made easier by using the horrible Active Today settings which can custimise your device for use in Ireland. I'm sure the settings are also made for the mms program. (sorry, I don't use it myself!)
As for the rom version, I think the lastest O2 rom is 1.66 which is available from their site, you could also go to version 1.72 which is available from this site. I'm at 1.72 and think it's fine.
Cheerio
Howard
Thanks Howard, David and all!
I'll try upgrading the RoM
very grateful indeed
Conor

RE: GPRS and MMS settings
Hi,
Follow this link, Ihave uploaded all the available cab installs for UK carriers, contract and PAYG.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=26463
These are the latest version 2.0, as I have seen some earlier versions elsewhere on forum. :twisted:
where in the registry is this information located?? it works fine on the qtek 9100 wm5 but it will only show one of the connections in the connections listing. i istalled gprs monitor and it offers to monitor about 5 different connections that the cab file created. I can only see one of these. Where in the registry would I go to delete the ones not being used???
hi,
I just go my exec and i managed to set up (manualy) the gprs /3g connection so that i can surf the net.
what i cannot do is set up my mms. i also tries the cub files that you uploaded here but...no good.
i have a pay as you go Vodafone UK and i NEED HEPL!!! i have already lost 3 mms.
thanx to all

Good point, I obtained these files in my earlier link from the I-mate website, I know they work upto Alpine version on WM2003SE.
I don't have access to the I-Mate JasJar section, the cab files were designed for WM2003 & SE, I think that WM2005 probably has a different registry configuration. maybe if somebody has a JasJar, they can get can get the correct files for JasJar Mobile Carriers in I-mate JasJar section. Also Checkout the Unversal section on this Forum, somebody maybe able to help you there.

Hi,
Could someone who is with Vodafone Australia post their settings for MMS.
I've set up GPRS and WAP and spoke with Vodafone support to get my MMS setup, but it does not seem to be working. It fails to send.
I'm using the latest O2 ROM where I have performed a soft reset before it customises, I have then run the two video phone CABs and the MMS shortcut cab.
I have the MMS folders available under Messages. I can create a MMS but fails to send.
I'm missing something and I would be interested to learn what.
Regards
Michael
There's a CAB file which simplifies things a lot (available from club imate). It will install all the settings for Vodafone MMS, and GRPS.
If you're still having troubles, I can post the CAB file - but I might not be able to do it till this weekend sometime. Unless someone else can post it first?
Here's the CAB file I was talking aobut.
These are the settings as provided by i-mate, and they work perfectly for me!
can you guys use vodafone live to ?
Yes and no.
I used settings from here:
http://aussie3g.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=15462
and changed the useragent as documented here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=29595
And I can browse vodafone live. As for downloading/streaming the video content - I'm still struggling!
