I prefer to install wifi driver v2
I can't understand how tweaking GPRS setting would help connecting to wifi.

It is not. All you are doing is adding gprs setups to my isp. Once you have this setup your system will use wifi network if available else it will initiate gprs connection. I am using this setup for long time. Don't do this if you don't have good data plan.

I do have a data plan from ATT (Cingular). When I turn on wifi it does not go to the the MEdia Net.

This has 0% to do with wi-fi and 100% to do with GPRS. One (wi-fi) uses the internal wireless card, and the other (GPRS) uses the cellular connection , which is much slower and generally costlier and can also use more battery if not careful than wi-fi. I only hope nobody uses this thinking it will solve a wi-fi connection issue because they are going to be hurt in the wallet when they get their next cell phone bill. GPRS is generally extremely expensive and adds up very fast. Most companies charge per kilobit it takes many kilbits to load just one webpage. Be warned if you attempt to use this "solution".

I have SX56.unlocked it and went to Cingular. They put in the Cingular sim card phone works fine. Cant get on the internet and they wont help me. Please can someone tell me the settings to get on internet when on Cingular US service? Thanks so much.

Order Wireless Internet Express from Cingular. Online you can order the 1MB/month option, but no more. That's a good starting point, but you're going to chew through a meg very quickly so call them and ask for more. Try to deal: their unlimited plan is over twice as expensive as T-Mobile. I opted for the online because it was about 11:00 PM when I started this project. After about half an hour GPRS was working on my account.
Creating a Cingular Data Connection
Your next order of business is to create a data connection.
1 Tap Start->Settings->Connections and under My ISP tap Add a new modem connection.
2 Name it and choose a modem type of Cellular Line (GPRS)
3 Set the access point name to isp.cingular
4 Set the user name to [email protected] (case sensitive)
5 Set the password to ZXY203DC9K0402 (case sensitive)
6 Tap Finish to create the connection.
Next, ensure that your GPRS settings are correct.
1 Under Connections ensure that the CSD Line Type is set to 9600 bps(v.32).
2 Ensure that the connection element set to non-transparent.
3 Under GPRS Setting ensure that authentication is set to PAP and the class is 8.
Creating a Cingular WAP Connection
1 Tap Start->Settings->Connections and under My Work Network tap Add a new modem connection.
2 Name it and choose a modem type of Cellular Line (GPRS)
3 Set the access point name to wap.cingular
4 Set the user name to [email protected] (case sensitive)
5 Set the password to CINGULAR1 (case sensitive)
6 Tap Finish to create the connection.
7 Next, tap Set up my proxy server
8 Check both "This network connects to the internet" and "This network uses a proxy server". Don't provide a proxy server. Click Advanced.
9 Under WAP and Secure WAP set the following IP address: 66.209.11.61
Finally, in Internet Explorer navigate to http://device.home This takes you to the WAP portal of Cingular's My Wireless Window. You can get a free account there and setup the portal to your liking. It's low budget, but also low bandwidth.
still wont work. CAn anyone else help?
I did alot of the steps. I dont have alot of those especially cant find any GPRS setting tabs.
Hi guys,
I'm giving my sister my old XDA 2 for Christmas (finally have the very slow XDA exec!) I've unlocked it and have a Vodafone PAYG sim card installed - running fine. I just need the connection settings so I can enable it to go online and send Media messages. Any one have a clue? It would mean so much to me - and I'll make a donation to the site if any tips work on my old phone.
cheers
Will
Voda settings
To set up Internet access on the device:
1. Click on START.
2. Click on Settings.
3. Click on Connections at bottom of screen.
4. Click on Connections icon at top right of screen.
5. Under ISP click on Add a new modem connection.
6. Enter a name for the connection (e.g. Internet).
7. Under Select a modem, choose Cellular line (GPRS).
8. Click Next.
9. Under Access point name type internet (note: this is case sensitive).
10. Click Next.
11. Under User name type web (note: this is case sensitive).
12. Under Password type web (note: this is case sensitive).
13. Click Finish.
14. The QTEK is now configured to use Vodafone GPRS.
Double check that the device is using this modem connection as its default connection by going into ‘Manage existing connections’ (Start, Settings, Connections, Connections), and ensuring that the black bullet point is next to the account that you have just created.
Setting up MMS:
Go to the messages section (Start, Messaging) and browse to the MMS inbox (using the drop down box labelled inbox in the left hand corner of the screen).
Select Menu (bottom right of screen) and select MMS Configuration.
The device should already have an account present and on the first screen the tick boxes that are checked are for your own personal choice (the ones on this device have ‘retrieve messages immediately’, ‘download on home network only’, and ‘save sent messages’ ticked.
On the Servers tab you should have a ‘Contract MMS’ account already created. If this is the case you’ll need to select the account and choose ‘Set as Default’.
If you do not have this account already created you should choose ‘New’ and enter the following details:
Server name: Vodafone MMSC
Gateway: 212.183.137.12
Port Number: 9201
Server Address: http://mms.vodafone.co.uk/servlets/mms
Connect via: The WAP Network
Sending Size limitation: 100k (recommended – but you may change this if you wish)
WAP Version: WAP 1.2
By the way.....
If the GPRS fails to connect first time you may need to click the antenna icon near the signal reception and 'turn on flight mode'. This will disable the phone recption. Then click again and 'turn off flight mode' to reactivate the phone reception. It should then connect ok (by going into Internet Explorer and trying to get to a web page of your choice).
Hi
This are the setting that you need:
Make or edit a connection under My isp
APN: internet
Password: web
Username: web
Make or edit a connection under My Work Network this is needed for MMS
APN: wap.vodafone.co.uk
Username: [email protected]
Password: user
Go to your messanger and configure the MMS Configuration under server make or edit the server:
Gateway: 212.183.137.12
Port Number: 9201
Server Address: http://mms.vodafone.co.uk/servlets/mms
That is all you need good luck and merry christmas.

Hi,
I have tried fiddling around with various different O2 GPRS settings I found on the forums, but I can't seem to any of them to work.
GPRS used to work on my old Nokia fine, and I am using the same SIM card so GPRS should work with my new O2 XDA Mini S phone.
Only problem with the O2 XDA Mini S, is that when you use their GRPS setup program it has Contract selected and Pay as You go is greyed out and you can't select it.
Just wondering if anyone knows the correct settings that works with UK O2 Pay as You Go?
Thanks for any help!
Search under "o2 GPRS settings" and you shall find . . . . . .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=279589&highlight=o2+gprs+settings
The Search function is there for a reason.
Using the first settings on that post I get this error message in Internet Explorer:
The page cannot be displayed or downloaded because the connection was lost. Check the connection and try and later.

The GPRS seems to be connected as you get the little G symbol with 2 arrows saying its connected.
The 2nd setting on that post gives me fails to connect to GPRS and I get the error message from the system saying:
Cannot Connect
Dialed: mobile.o2.co.uk
Cannot connect for an unknown reason. To checked your connection settings and change them if needed, tap Settings. If the problem continues, reset your device according to your manufacturer's documentation and try again.
Click to expand...

The O2 site doesn't list the O2 XDA Mini S on http://www.o2.co.uk/services/ota4/select and their instructions are to use the O2 GRPS setup program which has Contract selected by default and Pay as You go is greyed out and you can't select it.
The contract settings that it installs by default gives the 2nd error message above.
I think I am pretty much out of ideas?
o2 gprs pay and go settings
The WAP connection uses a proxy server and must be configured under the 'My work network' settings as opposed to the 'My ISP'
Use the following:
Start>Settings>connections>connections
Under my work network select 'add a new modem'
Name - o2 payandgo
Select a modem - Cellular line (GPRS)
Access Point - payandgo.o2.co.uk
Username - payandgo
Password - password
Domain - blank
Hit advanced
Select TCP/IP - Use server assigned IP address
Servers - Use server assigned address
Hit OK and then Finish
Under 'my work network' select 'set up my Proxy'
Tick - This network connects to the internet
Tick - This connection uses a proxy . . .
Hit Advanced
Tap on the WAP field and enter 193.113.200.195 and ensure that the port is set to 9201
OK out of the settings.
Launch the PIE and use the prefix wsp:// to point the browser at the WAP network. Use wap.google.co.uk to test.
** I forgot to point out that you cannot use mobile.o2.co.uk as you have a prepay sim! **
Managed to get it working by kinda merging your settings and the 2 other settings. Works for standard web browsing and WAP browsing, this is how I have got it setup

Hi,
I'm in a country where the operators don't have automatic configuration for GPRS. I have got the settings from the operators but don't know where to configure the X1 to do GPRS. I tried settings/connections/connection setup but it presents me with country selection and operator. My country isn't listed. Next I tried settings/connections/connections and add a new modem connection. Here I'm stuck cos I'm unable to put in the settings given to me by the operator which consist of:
username
password
accesspoint name, proxy and port.
I've put in these but X1 is always unable to connect.
Any help will be appreciated.
Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Manage Exisiting Connections -> New...
Enter a name for the connection: Whatever you want (something like your Networks name should help later on)
Select a modem: Cellular Line (GRPS, 3G)

Sorry folks. I figured it out. I had to set the proxy in advanced. A bit of a drag I should think.
