Help Setup GPRS @ Airtel (Bharti) MDA

I bought a T-Mobile MDA, unlocked it and have the latest Mr. Clean AKU 2 which was published here. But when i came back to India i cannot find a way to change settings for Airtel (airtelgprs).
After flashing the phone with Mr. Clean ROM, i installed the T-Mobile US seetings to automatiocally set-up the T-Mobile EDGE/GPRS. Now i want to know how can i remove the T-Mobile settings and configure to use with Airtel GPRS.

u can use the following settings for mobile office
access point : airtelgprs.com
connection name: mobileoffice
connection type: Cellular Line (GPRS)
jus set these up as My ISP and restart ur fone, everything will work.
this is for airtel bangalore. other places will remain same

pratap,
thanks for the info. But when i go to Start >> Settings >> Connections >> GPRS settings, it gives me only 2 options
Please select your GPRS authentication method
1. PAP Authentication and
2. CHAP Authentication
And it does not have any other options like menu or Next. I need to know how and from where i can access the real settings. I think T-Mobile US does not want users to know all the details and Airtel in India do. I think i have to remove the T-Mobile customization. Not Sure :-(

Setting->Connections->Connections->My ISP + Add a new connections is where you should be.

It Works!!! Hurray....Thanks Kevino....
Peace :lol:

Airtel Live! - Free GPRS service for Airtel users in India.

Dear friends, before I begin with the details of Airtel Live, I wish to thank everyone at XDA-Developers for working on ROMs, fixes and the support that is being provided here.
Special thanks to dsixda for producing Onyx 3.0 because of which my HTC Touch Elfin (P3452) rocks even more.
Now regarding Airtel Live service: Airtel Live is free GPRS service that Airtel provides to its customer with a catch i.e. as per Airtel, you can only access http://live.airtelworld.com for downloading latest ringtones, games, wallpapers, videos etc.
If you call Airtel Customer Support to get Live on your HTC Touch, they tell you that it is not supported on any Windows Mobile phone and suggest you to go for Airtel Mobile office, full GPRS service for a monthly rental of Rs. 499 (USD 12).
After googling and fighting with Airtel, I managed to get the correct settings and I am able to run Airtel Live as well access most of the websites on standard HTTP protocol (SSL is not supported). Google Maps also works for me.
On Windows Mobile 6.x, the steps to configure are as follows:
1. Activate Airtel Live by sending the following SMS to 121: MASALA ACTIVE.
2. The service takes atleast 3-4 hours to get active. Restart the phone and resume configuring.
3. Tap Start -> Settings.
4. Select Connections Tab and tap Connections.
5. Select Advanced Tab, tap Select Networks button to bring up Network Management.
6. Under "Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using:" drop down, tap the New button.
7. In the General Tab, type the name of the settings as Airtel Live
8. Select Modem tab, tap New...
9. Type the name of connection as Airtel Live, select the modem as Cellular Line (GPRS) and tap Next.
10. Type Access Point Name as airtelfun.com and tap next.
11. Leave username, password and domain blank and tap finish.
12. Select Proxy Settings tab. Tap "This network connects to the Internet". This should enable the next check box option.
13. Tap "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet".
14. Type the proxy server as: 100.1.200.99 and then tap Advanced...
15. Tap HTTP, leave the server as 100.1.200.99 and change the port to 8080
16. Similarly tap WAP, Secure WAP and Socks, type the server as 100.1.200.99 but leave the port to defaults. These are optional settings.
17. Tap OK to close the Advanced proxy setup screen.
18. Tap OK to close the New connection screen.
19. The network management screen should now list the new connection you have created in the drop-down. Tap OK to close this screen
20. Tap OK to close the connection screen.
Now you are ready to fire your favourite browser. I have tested this on PIE as well as Opera 9.5 and it works for me.
If PIE reports "Request not authorized by the WAP Gateway", you will need to change the user-agent to anything you can think of using "Advanced Config" tool (thanks to dsixda for suggesting this). I had set it to HTCP3452_Mozilla/4.0 under Advanced Config -> Internet Explorer -> User Agent Custom Base.
I think Airtel has intentionally blocked Mozilla/4.0 user-agent on WM phones. It may be that they cannot restrict Windows Mobile based phones from accessing websites on standard HTTP. On other phones I had tried, I could not get other sites to work with the same settings.
Enjoy Airtel Live for free.

first of all the easy way for all airtel settings is to go here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427092
and the Airtel is not 100% free.
they hv blocked the most popular servers like gmail, orkut, indiatimes, yahoo. and also u can not transfer more than 2mb data at a single page or file.

Are there any charges for using the Airtel Live service?
Like downloading weather updates for your rom?

Right, I will take the risk.
(I don't suppose you know the code for 'Deactivating' Airtel Live if they do charge? I had a bad run in with !dea and I want to cover all my bases before starting. I am on Prepaid.)

Does Airtel Live work on HTC Touch P3450 ??
Hi eshwarn...
After a lot of survey on net, I decided to buy HTC Touch P3450, bcoz i wasvery much impressed with it.. But just yesterday I read on a forum that it does not support FREE Airtel live, But supports CHARGED Mobile office.. Also Airtel customer care told me the same. so i was disappointed. I held my decision of purchase..
But now after going through your post, I am happy that i can use Airtel Live. Just want to confirm that, you have tested it on P3452.. Will the same setting work for P3450 as well or not.. If is does, I will go immediately and buy the handset... So I request for your prompt reply..
If there is some different settings for Touch P3450, then please post the same.. I will be really thankful to you..
Regards

I have used the cab provided by krishan2207 and I am getting charged for Airtel Live. I am on Prepaid and using a Maharashtra card (you might get different results for other circles).
I am going to try inputting the settings as given by eshwarn. Let's see if I get charged?
EDIT: I am being charged even manually entering the settings as given by eshwarn. I guess Airtel Maharashtra have figured out the settings and are charging.

Hi charusen...
I am having airtel postpaid connection in bangalore. I was about to buy HTC touch, but i came to know about this Airtel Live issue..
Please reply if you (or any of your friends) get any luck on getting Airtel Live for free on HTC Touch.. Its the only issue i have delayed buying Touch
Thanks and regards

Hi Kalpesh
None of my friends use a WM phone (they prefer some backward brand called 'Nokia' - is that a china mobile?)
Different circles might have different results re free Airtel Live access, but to let you know by my expereince, I got charged for using both the setting version (manually entering and cab). This looks like a dead end for me (at least for the Maharashtra and Goa circle).
Good look in finding someone in your circle.

u can get airtel live free on touch across all India on both pre and postpaid connections .

Subscribing to Airtel Live is free (as in there is no daily/monthly fee) BUT when you start downloading content, you start getting charged.
I input the above settings; started Google Maps and was charged for downloading the information. Same with getting weather updates for touchflo. I hope you guys are not getting charged for content downloaded?

I am on airtel postpaid and it works fine on my HTC Touch Elfin (P3542).
It used to work for me on the stock ROM and it is working for me on Onyx 3.0 ROM as well. Use Krishan's customized Network Wizard posted here.

If they charge me, I shall screw them as it was their customer care who told me that it will not work on HTC Touch (infact all WM powered phone).
Why should I pay for what as per them does not work!!!

I even tried Krishan's cab.
I would check my balance before starting, load up a Google Maps page then disconnect and check my balance again.
Airtel would be deducting me 30paise, 60paise etc... depending on how big the page is.
Even tried it with updating the weather on touchflo. Same thing, money would get deducted from the balance.
Keep an eye out on your bills, if Airtel have figured out this bypass, they might start charging you guys as well.
Good Luck

guys from 2003 i m using it for free on my prepaid connection. my balance remain intact.

HI
I have touch P3452
I have tried both methods, steps suggested by eshwarn and .cab file from krishnan.... option of cab file does not work but 1st option works. I can browse thru airtel live... Mine is postpaid connection and i m yet to get monthly bill wherein i can check if i m being charged...
But the biggest problem is, once i switch of device of change SIM card, all settings are lost and 'airtel live' connection does not show up.... Its really very troublesome to manually enter setting on every power up..
Pls suggest solution for this.
I wud also want to know, which sites are CHARGED under FREE airtel live.. (yahoo and google are charge.. but is orkut also charged?? what r charges ??)

this trick doest work with airtel kerala circle

Hey Friends...I was using Airtel Live to access other sites and sync my office mail to my Touch. I called up the customer care today & asked them. They said that you will be able to access other websites using Airtel Live but you will be charged 30paise/20kb downloaded...Am from Chennai...Have to check out if this is correct in my next billing cycle..I am a postpaid user...

Airtel Live for HTC Tattoo

Hi,
I was using a W830i earlier, where Airtel live was working like a charm and i was able to use google maps etc... Now i had switched to HTC Tattoo..
Tattoo had Airtel Live and Mobile office settings built in.. but to my surprise only mobile office works, which is chargeable...
When i searched there are Airtel Live settings available for Winmo but none for android.. when i tried imitating the settings provided, it didnt work, Any help on this will be appreciated..
P.S: I am on a prepaid and in TN Circle

If Airtel Live is GPRS, then Maps and other apps won't work properly. This happened to me when I got my Tattoo about 10 days ago. Only the browser could access the internet. So I switched to EDGE, and it works correctly now. Check if Airtel offer EDGE service.

Thanks Sheik
The thing is in Airtel there are two accounts for connecting to GPRS
One is Mobile Office which is a paid service which works in Tattoo
and another is Airtel Live which is a portal specifically for Airtel for selling ringtones, wallpapers etc..
The specialty of Airtel Live is that its a free service and google maps can be accessed free of cost

ANy luck?
Hi Prasath
were you able to find any solution?
I moved from a nokia e90 to motorola milestone. everything worked like a breeze in the e90 with airtel live.
now only nonsecure sites are working in the milestone. am unable to access gmail and other secure sites!

Hi
Hi,
I was not able to find a solution for the Airtel Live as there was no support from Customer care.. All they say is that my handset is not supported.. so finally stopped using Airtel Live.. Now as there is a plan in Airtel stating that For Rs 98... 2GB download limit for 1 month.. i didnt require Airtel Live..
Thanks
Prasath

Hi,
I'm using HTC Tatoo with Vodafone GPRS (India) and am facing the issue that only browser can access Internet but no apps. I've posted this in more than one forums, and am yet to see a solution.
Who's this problem actually with? Vodafone, HTC, Android or Apps?
Thanks
:J

Hi
I believe there could be a proxy server issue..
Most probably what i feel is that the browser detects it.. but the apps does not..
It will be a better option to create a new thread for this
Cheers

You will need to subscribe for Vodafone Mobile Connect service, which is an EDGE service. The apps cannot use GRPS for accessing the internet.

Hi,
I have bought a new lg p500 aka optimus one it also has the same problem. only the default browser can access internet with airtel live! But when i use wifi everything works fine. i have not used mobile office in this mobile, but i guess this is a problem with Andoid . If its so how can the guys at google make such a big mistake? They select people with atmost brilliance! ;D
