Vodafone and Internet?!

Egads !!
I didn't check anything out about whether another provider would or wouldn't work until I came across this site looking for info. on how to get the xda to work connecting to the internet using activesync and the cradle.
So two question here really -
1. Will the xda work with Vodafone?
and
2. How do I configure it to connect to the internet using the cradle and Activesync?
Anyone that could help on these points I would greatly appreciate the advice

Yes. You may need to "unlock" it if your phone is "SIMlocked". There's plenty of messages on this forum describing how to do this.
2. How do I configure it to connect to the internet using the cradle and Activesync?

Open the ActiveSync main window, 'Tools menu', 'Options', 'Rules' tab and make sure 'Pass Through connection' is set to 'The Internet', and then when your desktop is connected, all should be automagic.

FANTASTIC! Thanks for the answer to number 2
I'll let you know how I get on with number 1 when they change me over!

Well there we go !!
Unlocked the SIM straight away and the VODAFONE SIM card works perfectly !!
Thanks for help
Now I'm thinking of experimenting and installing a Special ROM ... hmm .. wonder if the SMS, GPRS and other little qwerks will effect me?!

Anyone else having GPRS problems ?

Hi,
I would like to know if anyone else has GPRS problems with the QTEK 9100 ? It hangs up as it wants (once every 10min, once every 24h) If it is connected and I want to sync, it doesn't work, I have to hang up in order to reconnect and sync.
Anyone knows something about this ?
Micman

I guess it depends on the operator. GPRS on my 9100 doesn't want to work with MTS. Megafon SIM card solves the issue.

Don't got that problem, got another problem. How do you disable the gprs connection easy ? any know can't find a way to do it easy.
Right now i need to go to /settings/connections/gprs and start changing the settings and push cancel to disable it.

Try this one: http://www.gb-soft.cz/XDAII/default.htm
Works very well for mine , even under WM5
Need answers , hit me ;-)

Just press and hold the red end key for more than 3 seconds and the GPRS-connection is terminated. I have even tried to install GB softtweak wich is able even i WM5.0 to bring the disconnect button to the gprs-bubble and it work.

I guess Tver's MTS GPRS differs from Moscow's. I heard they're testing EDGE here. This might be the cause. 9100 hangs on GPRS every time until reset or flight mode on/off.

Yes, the same situation...
In very random moments GPRS hangs ... I'm with Vivatel, Bulgaria...
Have you found solution ?

GPRS CONNECTION

Hello everybody.
I have a Qtek S110 and my question has to be with GPRS connection or let say disconnection..
I don´t know how I have to do to stop the GPRS connection. The only way I have found is activating the fly mode, then disactivating it (plus enter pin code, plus...).
Does anybody know the right (and quick) way to do it?
Thanks a lot !! (sure that it´s a very simple question, but after 1 month using it, this is my most important doubt).

simply press and hold the disconnect button for 2 or 3 seconds and that should solve your problem.

Thanks for the reply but this doesn´t do anything.
Any other idea??

I never used the small program by Ampda, but maybe will try it out if and when I need to do a hard reset. I use a small program called GB-Soft Tweak.
check out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33305.

the trick of holding the disconenct button for 3-5 seconds works, but only from the today screen. and obviously, if there is any program running in the background that uses GPRS (like the blackberry connect i use on my t-mobile uk compact) it will just start up again.

GPRS Setting with FIDO

I'm using Cingular 8525 (unlocked) in Canada with Fido sim, where can i change the GPRS setting on the phone? i don't see any place that can change it? thanks in advance!

look what I found when I googled Fido "GPRS Settings"
http://www.dslreports.com/faq/7418
In any case, Ross Barkman's page is the best for finding your telco settings.
http://www.taniwha.org.uk/gprs.html
To change your settings you have 3 options (I've included details instructions so follow them carefully):
Option 1.
1. Go the box the phone came in
2. Pull out the little book that says user manual
3. Open the book up
4. Read it.
Option 2.
1. Scroll to the top of this page
2. Click on XDA-Wiki
3. Go the Hermes Section
4. Read it.
5. Read it again, so you understand everything not just the GPRS problem.
Option 3 (and I'm gonna hear about this from pof).
1. Click Start
2. Click Settings
3. Click Con... Argh, I can't sorry man... you're gonna have to pick 1 or 2.
Forgive me pof, I started feeling sorry for the newbie. I promise I won't do it again!

thanks! i already know what the setting is, but i'm just wondering that will Cingular allow me to change the GPRS settings?

If the phone is unlocked, there is nothing stopping you from changing anything on the phone. For all purposes Cingular is just a name written on your phone, Cingular the company has nothing to do with you anymore unless you have a cingular SIM in your phone.

Thanks for replied, the problme is, the Cingular stock rom doesn't have any icon that let me to change the GPRS setting! there should be a "Network Wizard" on Setting-->Connection , but there is non! when i click on GPRS setting, it only allowing me choose either "PAP authentication" or "CHAP authentication" . i have been playing the GPRS setting for a long time, but didn't get anyting, so should i flash to other rom? thanks in advance!

We are having the same problem
I have an 8125 running with a Movistar Mexico SIM and last Sunday I got its replacement: an 8525, I spent most of the Sunday (and the several days before) reading threads and doing all procedures to unlock it until I succeeded, so now I have an 8525 unlocked supre CID and all that ... "running" with the same SIM and same GPRS set up but I haven´t been able to navigate internet on GPRS (stalls in the "opening" status), I installed spb GPRS Monitor and the traffic is zero Kb on all tries that I´ve made to connect to the internet. I set also my Gmail account which is set up to retreive amails every 15min and although generates GPRS traffic the behavior is totally different as in my 8125. About MS Messenger and Hotmail the GPRS connection hasn´t been imposible. I´m a newbie I know it!! But you expert guys should help us at least with comments, I agree that some people make repeated questions because they don´t want to read, this is not our case, I´ve read a lot and I´m sure eeric di´d it too. PLEASE HELP....

Use this as a guide to putting in GPRS and MMS settings.

Substitute the settings for your network.

Thank you Bny! I do know how to make it and also set the proper strings in my case APN would be internet.movistar.mx and the user name & paswrord is movistar. That´s not really the problem, in fact I do know that I have a connection to my network, the problem is that something happen 8525 than doesn´t allow me to route my connections thru other routes but the one that Cingular has a preset. I really don´t know if is it the Ext ROM, my SIM card (not a 3G card) or the network itself since is not a 3G network !!!?

have any of you guys considered doing a hard reset and then soft reset before the 3 second customization? that way none of the cingular stuff gets installed?!?

I suppose there could be a number of reasons for this. But here is a consideration from my experience albeit on a different network. I entered all the details for my O2 connection as published on several different internet sites. Initially I could not get beyond "connecting" but found a minor error in what I had entered. Now I got as far as "Opening" but never actually open a site. I gave up but happened across a website that suggested that if you get that far i.e. "to opening" then perhaps the only fault would be the port number in proxy settings for HTTP. I checked and it was correctly set to "80". I did searches on the internet and found one that suggested port "8080" and it worked straight away. I only suggest that you check the port number and whether there are alternatives if you are getting as far as "opening".

Do you have Start>setings>connections>connections
Note two "connections" and if you do you get a page titled connections and Two headings 1. My ISP and 2. My Work Network

Thanks Mike and shogunmark! I´ll try the trick to avoid the customisation from Cingular; as far the port setting that´s a good point, however my screen for connection settings only shows 2 tabs: 1)Tasks and 2) Advanced, the 3rd tab (Proxy) that is present in my 8125 is missing in my 8525. Any ideas to make it appear or change the port? Thanks again you guys!

I did it, but it did not work.....
I just tried but it didn´t work either.... let´s see what´s next. Thank You!

I did what shogunmark suggested and it didn´t work either, I´m wondering waht would be the correct proxy server configuration, besides the port number I really don´t know the type of connection (http, wap, sec wap or scocks 4/5), neither the server name

I made the connection
I allways had the right "parameters" to set a proper connection, but I realized that the connection speed is extremely slow (5 Kbps at the most). I open another thread related to the use of a G3 device with a non G3 SIM / network. Thank you all for your help.

If you manage to make progress in improving connection speed, it would be useful to post a solution on this thread. Hope you succeed.

China Mobile provider cab

Hi, anyone have the china mobile cab? I install the official wm6 upgrade but find out can't access the mobile.
Search the whole day but cant find it.
Thnx in advance

You don't need a cab for these settings, they are really simple. tap:
start>settings>connections>connection>add a new connection
call it CMNET, line type=3G/GPRS
username=CMNET
password=CMNET
finished! Make sure you have the M-Zone data package on your phone, 20RMB for 50mb/month. In some places you can get 200MB for 100RMB, ask your China Mobile office.
如果看不懂上面的说明，给我发个PM， 可以给你翻译过来

Try it,
It maybe help you.

Hi,
Thnx both for ur help, I can received now the sms message and place calls but when trying to call my mobile phone it always says its busy even though I am not using it.

Hrmm, what radio version and ROM are you using? I get good reception with 1.48 on China mobile network....

Radio 1.47.30.10 is recommend in China mainland,
It has good reception and consumption of power.
If your SIM card is too old you have two choices:
1.Change your SIM card in CMCC, it's charge free;
2.Use Radio 1.41 or lower version.

兄弟,中国人啊,做什么的啊,好象是移动的啊,多普达的吗 有多普达的资料吗

Cheers ,we all Chinese.

hey sorry to bring up an old thread but something is driving me nuts. I have a HTC Touch Cruise 2009/ Iolite and I am in China using China Mobile. A few days ago I was still able to use GPRS but then suddenly I can't... just says "The answering modem has disconnected" after like about 1 seconds of trying to connect then "There is a problem connecting to the GPRS in your registered home network"... I have searched online and applied the settings and rang CM and they sent me an SMS with the instructions but still don't work.
I was using a 5RMB package and when that ran out i upgraded to 20RMB but it said that it will be applied when my monthly fee gets deducted. I think that's around the time when things started to go downhill.... any solutions please! Thanks

3楼，thanks a lot！
