Hi...i'm having a problem connecting to the mobile web with vodafone ireland. i have a touch diamond that i bought locked to orange uk and unlocked it but it just will not get the settings right. i've tried an 02 sim card with no problem and i've tried a 3 sim card, again with no problem, which leads me to believe that its not the phone. i contacted vodafone but you might as well be talking to a brick wall. they could only send me the settings for the closest model, which is the vodafone v1520. sorry for the long waffle...but i love my phone and i don't wanna change network so i'll be forever indebted for any help!!
Vodafone Gprs
Hey
http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=&threadid=106942
Check out the above link and use the settings for GPRS on old handsets. works for me, FINALLY. One thing to be wary off however, vodafone charges you a 20 cent connection charge EVERY time you connect to the service, even if you don't do anything on it.... so if you connect in the morning, just leave it on lol!
hope this helps,

Create a new connection using the "Make a new connection" wizard on your PC / laptop.Once a dialer is configured, leave the username and password blank.

Folks, please forgive the intrusion of a non-developer, but I come cap in hand for some wise and informed advice -
I want Internet access to browse to my firm's MS Exchange server for browser-based e-mail.
Took delivery by courier of a VF 1605 on Monday, swapped SIM over from old Nokia 6230i and turned it on: no Internet browsing to any site. Eventually, after many calls to customer support got the setup instructions: settings, connections, ISP/add new modem connection, contract Internet, cellular line GPRS,3G, Intranet, Web, Web, Finish.
Still no connection - just an error message: Cannot connect for an unknown reason. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap settings.... (you get the picture.) And so we go off round the houses again.
VF customer support first thinks it's a SIM problem (old one not compatible with new phone) so delivers a new one. Phone fails to work just the same. I try the new SIM in another new 1605 at a VF shop. Same result - no connection to any Web site. I then download vodafone_settings.cab from here and install it on my phone. Still no change. Same result - Cannot Connect. VF now think the phone is faulty and will swap it when they have stock. But I am not so sure.
Can two 1605s be faulty in the same way or does this smack of general muppetry by me?
With thanks for your patience!

Hi replace intranet with internet.

Bri.s -
I have done so and the 1605 now connects. I am so grateful. Many thanks.

Guys
Firstly this is my first PDA so bear with me
I have just got a O2 XDA Atom
I have a prepaid Vodaphone sim which i use
I connected them up and got onto vodaphone to get it setup for GPRS
After an hour or so on the phone, we can seem to connect to them via GPRS but it will not load any web pages. They then informed me that the phone doesnt supposed WAP and so i cannot use it with there GPRS?
Is this true ? what are my options ? Its a lot of money to spend so i can use excel etc
Thanks for any help

Can anyone help me?
ive had the same problem with vodafone, have you tried a diffrent sim card in it? with mine think theres something up with my sim because any other vodafone sim works fine!
I am in a different country but I have had this problem with my local vodafone before. The sales people know nothing about gprs and other data services. I have been very clear to them an stated what I want to use a service for and after being assured everything is fine still nothing works. In the end for me the solution with vodafone was to move to a billed account. After that (and a phone call to activate it) all wap and gprs worked fine.
Hi I purchased my Imate K-Jam G4 in the UK sim free and brought it to the Cayman Islands. I do not appear to have any GPRS or edge ability. My service opertaor supports both they tried to send me the settings but came back with handset not supported.
I am running the latest imate ROM and have hard reset a couple of times to now avail. When i click on the internet all i get is cannot connect with current settings. i have tried both types of authentication.
Can anyone help me?
Is it anything to do with the CID lock which reports 001?
Thanks any help will be appreciated
Update:
Ok i have now managed to get it to connect by creating a new connection.However although it shows connected i get no data. can't even open google. any ideas?
Ok now got it working. my sim was not enabled for gprs put it in my wifes phone which had a text with the service provider settings saved them and then put the sim back in my phone. all now works. However seems to cost a small fortune so looks like i am going to disable it again. :-(
I just buyed Touch Pro / Raphael from vodafone without branding (their hotline told me) and I need to use it with my t-mobile sim card until company contract would switched to vodafone.
I can do phone calls and also got internet configuration sms from t-mobile with "correct" settings. I also can receive emails from a pop3 account,
but I am not able to start eighter internet explorer or opera to get internet access.
When I use a prepaid vodafone sim card, opera will run, of course I changed back to vodafone settings.
My problem is that I need support, because I am on a business trip in dubai and need to have internet access with my phone.
ROM 1.90.162.5 Ger
09/24/08
Radio 1.02.25.19
Protocol 52.33.25.174
Many thanks in advance!!
Many thanks for your support! I am in trouble and nobody seems able or willing to help.
I have only internet access when i go in the hotel lobby and ask someone to share his computer...
i dont really understand what you want..
you want to use internet on your phone with your vodafone sim.
But its not connecting or....................... ??????
Raphael is vodafone branded or not, I do not exactly know.
I have a t-mobile sim card.
phonecalls and pop3 download of emails working, therefore I think it is not sim locked, but even with the correct internet profile from t-mobile installed, either opera nor explorer get internet access.
Do I need to supercid the phone?
Thans for your reply!!
Hmm.. i have to say that i dont have the answere.
but maybe post this also in the Raphael part of the forum.
maybe they know.
Under HTC Touch Elf, I had to do this :
in start menu : "settings"
"connections" tab
"connection setup" icon
then select my country and operator.
I'm not sure it'll work with a Raphael one... but anyway, try it!
Greetings,
I'm desperate as I am writing this.
I have blackstone, that I just purchased 2 months ago.
Everything went well with it, I had no issues at all. Suddendly it just stopped connecting to the Internet using the mobile connection.
I can receive/send calls and SMS without problems, I can connect using WiFi or Bluetooth (sharing my Computer's connection) but it doesn't connect using EvDO (unfortunatelly, the country where I live and the Service Provider, has a different band for 3G so I can't use since the beginning).
I have not modified anything in my phone (haven't installed any applications recently). I called my Service Provider, they checked that my account settings were correct and that my data plan was active. Also, I put my SIM card in my wife's phone (a Blackberry Bold) and it connected and browsed the Internet flawlessly.
So, any help please? I don't know what else to do, I have even done a hard reset, by just formatting the phone to its initial configuration state and started from the beginning, but no results!
did you change your sim
did u get this phone on contract.i got a x7510 it was only launched on contract by o2 network.i used an o2 pay and go sim but it wouldnt connect even though the pda was launched by them then they told me there setting are different to contract .so they gave me a different setting similar to another model then it worked.
I acquired this phone in Amazon. I purchased it unlocked.
I live in Uruguay, and I have had my connection working normally as for 2 months now. It suddendly stopped working without any advice.
My service provider (Movistar) has told me my account is fine. But I don't think it can happen that the phone has got broken and now I can make calls, send SMS but not connect to Internet. It doesn't make any sense to just break the connectivity.
IMHO you can do two things. Usually a user 'thinks' that nothing was changed on his PDA or computer however something was indeed changed. You can change this by backing up all your data and doing a factory reset to yr pda.
If this doesnot help then ... I suggest you change provider because this is the second case that has happened; i.e. they did a change internally but never said they did ;-)

Have you tried another Sim in your phone? Since you say your Sim is working in your wifes phone. Narrows it down to network or handset then.
