X Series on 3 - Anyone Using it?

Anyone using x-series from 3 UK on their universal. If so what are the settings for the internet and how does skype work on 3 ? Do you just download Skype for Mobile?
Thanks

Hi Samsul,
As far as i know, Skype on x-series is a different proposition altogether from Skype for Windows Mobile. The two applications are different. Skype on x-series works over the GSM network so you can make and receive Skype calls anywhere in return for a small monthly fee to 3 (i think it's £5?). Skype for WM on the other hand works for free over WiFi (like the PC version) or over a 3G cellular connection if you have one (beware using it on 3G without an unlimited data plan though). You can download Skype for WM free directly from the Skype website.
I don't believe the x-series application would execute on the Universal as i imagine it was designed specifically for Symbian OS but i may be wrong. Let me know if you find otherwise
Hope that helps.

just added x series silver
I have just added x series silver to my 3 contract and using it to surf internet and skype on my XDA Exec without any problem.

You would have been able to do this before as 3 allows full access now, the thing to be careful of, is do the applications on the X Series use a special proxy to differentiate between the plan you have purchased, and full open internet access.
Be careful.

I was able to use Skype before 3 activated x series, but I wasn't able to browse the internet apart from mobile.three.co.uk.
Everytime I typed in a web address (ie news.bbc.co.uk), I used to get the message ' You can only use this service on a 3 handset' or something similar to this. Now all websites work fine.
Also, if I was being charged for data, would this show up on 'Amount Spend' section of My 3? Anyone know?
Thanks

Help!

Can anyone tell me how i can make my MDA Vario II think it is a TyTn? Its unlocked & debranded with WM5. Im useing it on the 3 network but it will not recognise as a TyTn so i can not download videos or pictures from Planet 3. Also i have Windows Live but it will not conect, please help me someone & solve all my problems!

Why would you want it to act as a TyTN??
Both the Vario II and the TyTN are HERMES devices. Your device should work with the same stuff as a TyTN and vice versa?!
Have you got the correct GPRS and MMS settings??

You would think so, but i can not download anything from planet 3, pictures do not always load up & 3 mobile mail works with the TyTn but it will not recognise that i am useing one. My friend says there is a way to change the settings useing Resco Explorer but we do not know what the settings are.

Sorry its not Resco its PIEPlus V2.2 & yes the GPRS & MMS settings are correct.

T-Mobile Internet, Working Apps (IM)?

OK so I am new here, but I am not new to mobile devices at all. In fact I was a Mobility Admin in different forums. So please don't get mad at me for posting here. I have some questions. PLEASE don't play the FLAME the noob game. I swear that I searched far and Wide for my answers but have failed to find them.
So my question: is there anyway to tweak the T-Mobile T-zones Internet?
I can:
Connect to the internet
Download Files
Stream Music (orb)
Stream Video (badly[orb])
Use Google Maps
I can't:
Connect To IM servers, I have tried all of the programs. OZ for T-Mo is the only one that works, but it's horrible.
No YouTube, I can live without this but I hope to get it working.
MIDP can't connect.
Basicly nothing, that doesn't connect from, IE works.
----------------------------------------------------
I have played with the Proxy settings and nothing. I know that with my Treo 650 I could connect through VeriChat, but I can't connect on WM6.
Is there a program out there that can help me fix this?
Again I'm sorry if this is a repost, or an overkill of something, but I want to get this stuff working.
Thanks

I do not have an obvious solution but have also seen plenty of similar comments here from others - not just with T-Mobile either. I am using T-Mobile in the UK and have none of your problems.
I obviously had the original T-Mobile Vario II build (WM5) but now have the Black MAJIK build with WM6 and all has been fine with both. Some people directly accuse T-Mobile of blocking their IM, but I have no issue with it - albeit I use it rarely. Of course it "may" be that T-mobile are indeed blocking some services to 'offenders' (IM is not allowed) but I wonder if their system is that capable.
Obvious questions for you are: what OS are you using? Have you changed ANY comms settings from the original T-Mobile build? Have you tried a hard reset to restore original settings (including the all important T-Mobile extended ROM)?
If you still have the original OS ROM build running then you might try installing the configuration .cab files that are stored on the Extended ROM separately - some apply directly to such device settings. Access to that Extended ROM on the WM5 build is easy and you just need an application such as "HTweakC 2.0" (available here). Of course, and as ever, start with backing-up your device - but you will know that.
I hope this helps.

I have VSWL Rom.
I have setup the internet (GPRS) settins like they are suppose to be.
I believe that it is a fact that T-Mo has blocked ports, and has only left http smtp and pop3 open. So my dilema is why did verichat connect on my Treo 650 and not on my MDA or my 8525.

First we need to know if you are in tmobile usa, uk...????
if you are in tmo usa then you can't
if you have the proxies 216.155.165.50:8080 the most you can use is PIE (pocket internet explorer)
the best thing is to get the blackberry $20 dollar add-on plan and just setup without proxys. wap.voicestream.com and you have full internet access.

I am in the USA, and I have the T-zona 5.99 plan.
I am less than reluctant to close my mind for this not to work, since google maps works. and, as I said, on my Treo 650 using verichat worked perfectly.
I don't know what the difference in the way the Treo 650 connected and the way my 8525 connects.
Perhaps the programs that can connect are ones that ones that connect through port 80 and are proxied to 8080.
I am so lost on this topic though.
too many contractidicting points.
such as streamining works on win but not on palm
IM worked on Palm but on Win.

3 Homepage?

im currently using a HTC Kaiser, and am able to browse the internet fully, use msn etc, but I cannot get onto the 3UK mobile homepage, just the full one which takes up loads of data allowance. I suppose this applies to all smartphones but what is the 3 homepage for smartphones? I need it so I can check my usage etc.
thanks!

this will help
its makes your tytn appear as a n95. works like a treat..

Winmobile 6.1 Questions

Hi all,
I am new here and do have a new shiny Blackstone PDA.
First-off, please excuse me, for I do not know the right English terms for the applications of Windows Mobile 6.1.
As I do use a German O2 "branded" Touch HD with my E-Plus SIM-Card, I will put the German terms in ( ) behind the assumed English terms.
While configuring my new toy, I stumbled over one thing that did not please me at first.
The "Messaging" application of Windows 6.1 seems to connect to the preset in Connection-Center to find in Start - Configurations (Einstellungen) - Connections (Verbindungen) - Connection-Center (Verbindungen).
So that, if I am on WiFi-Connection and set the PDA to auto-connect to E-Plus Network for auto-connecting applications, it will still uses GPRS/3G to synchronize my emails.
I did notice that if I switch the preset to ISP, it nicely uses the WiFi connection to update mails.
I did find out that G-Profile is able to start programs on profile-switching. So now to my questions:
1. What is the name of the "Connection-Center (Verbindungen)" program?
2. Does it parse parameters and if so what parameter to set the preset connection?
For example, WINDOWS\SYSTEM\APP.EXE /set-network ISP or WINDOWS\SYSTEM\APP.EXE /set-network E-Plus
Thanks for any answers in advance,
XDA-Sez

Anybody?
Hmmm nobody, who knows something about this question?
