Vodafone GPRS Settings?????

Assistants required!!
I have attempted to set up GPRS on my M600 (Unlocked for Vodafone sim)
GPRS has been enabled as I have the G icon up!
I have been on the vodafone website and tried there settings with no luck!
I have been on the Filesaveas website and plugged in all of those settings with NO luck, Have also installed the I-mate .cab again with no luck!!!
I am starting to go insane spent three days trying all different settings and No luck at all!!!!
You name the website and I think Ihave probably tried it.
Does anyone have any useful advise for me, provide me with some form of sanity check!!!!
Ideally I wold love a .cab file to install!
But would like feedback from anyone else in a similar position, on how they resolved this some what annoying issue!!!!
regards

I set up my Vario II for Vodafone with no problem. These settings (*.pdf file) seem to be the same as the ones I used, see how they compare with the settings you are using.

Many thanks I will give it a go!

Ok have now got connection but I can't surf?
I have seen comments about GPRS beening fully enabled?
Are there 2 forms of GPRS that can be enabled? WAP & WEB???
Do I need to worry about the Dialing Rules???
Thanks in advance for your assistance!!

Could you be a little more specific i.e. does it come up with a pop-up box stating that it is connecting to GPRS? If yes, which connection does it say it is connecting to, is it the correct one (i.e. the new GPRS settings that you have just keyed in)? When you say it won't surf, what do you mean exactly ... are you using Pocket IE and does it come up with any error messages etc...

Connection via GPRS No probs I then get the Small G and the two arrows fixed on the bar.
Enter IE and type google for example.
get the status bar flash up breifly and then disapear, with no change to the original Orange World Home page!!!
No errors what so ever????

okay ... the next thing I would probably do then is download an alternative browser to see if it still happens in a different browser. Netfront is pretty good. At least that way you should be able to establish if it is a GPRS problem or a browser problem.

Ok I now have installed Netfront and connected to the GPRS!
typed in www.google.com
I have a warning screen:
Browser Warning
Cannot load Page
Type: DNS no server is specified
?????

Okay .. I am running out of ideas now, it does sound like your GPRS Settings are still wrong.
Click 'start menu', 'settings' and go to the 'Connections' tab. Now click 'Connections', then the 'Advanced' tab then 'Select Networks'. The first box (ie. Programs that connect to the Internet automatically) should say 'My Isp' and if you click 'Edit', it should show you 'Vodafone Internet' is selected.
If you then select to edit that, you should see in this order 'Vodafone Internet' and then it should show modem type as GPRS, next page should show Access Point Name of 'Internet', next page should show User name 'Web' ... password is the same, domain field should be blank ... nothing needs to be done in the advanced tab because the default of 'Use-server-assigned IP address' should automatically be selected, same for the server tab too, default should be server-assigned.
These are the settings that work fine on both my XDA Mini S and my MDA Vario II.

Right I have checked both ISP and MyWork Network, all correct!
The only thing I can see is that the password box has loads of characters (*'s) instead of just 3 *'s for WEB (***)
But every thing else is as the PDF??
Stumped!!!!

you can try messing with the newly released ms network tools there is a link in development forum
or you can try manualy typing in a know dns server in the settings
unless the gprs dont route the request
any dsn server ip will do
same as pc's really

I am afraid I don't know then ... we have reached the level of my knowledge (which isn't high )
Perhaps somebody with a little more technical knowhow on GPRS issues may be able to help you.
Sorry I couldn't get it sorted for you.

Thanks for your help a least I can connect now!!
Thank you again!!

anyone heard of the connection No. being *99#?
Vodafone instructed me to put that in the setup?
I guess that goes in under the " My Work Network" Vodafone Wap - Number?
This is now becoming a huge headache anyone got any ideas?

not sure how vodaphone handle it but i never heard about
ppl having to add numbers when they picked gprs as connection
belived that was only if you connected around grps

I'm expericening a similar problem.
My phone was sold as an O2 XDA Mini S. My O2 contract/account doesn't allow GPRS (they want me to upgrade) so I tried my Vodafone PAYG SIM and it works without having to have the phone unlocked in any way. By that I mean I can use voice calls and using the settings I've found through this site I can send MMS messages via GPRS but I cannot connect to the internet. I've checked with Vodafone and the account will allow internet and GPRS etc.
The only thing that I can see that is wrong is the password. Whenever I type "web" then finish, it always defaults back to a string of 16 ***'s when I re-check the settings.
I've even done a hard reset and used the corporate install to no avail. I don't want to run any sort of unlocking software if I don't need to as I don't want to create a very expensive door stop.
Any ideas?

The string of asterisks is normal, I think it is just a method used by Windows to make the password more difficult for someone to guess i.e. by disguising not only the characters but also the number of characters.
I just double checked and my fully working settings also show a row of asterisks despite it being a 3 character password.

Thanks Nicky
I'll keep plodding away with this but hopefully someone might steer me in the right direction soon.

Molski AKU2.3 to Molski AKU3.3

I got my Cingular 8125 about a month ago, and I just recently noticed that I didn't have any MMS features available. So I contacted Cingular and they were absolutely no help, but I did figure out that my phone had a custom OS uploaded by the previous owner, and it said Molski.biz AKU2.3 (2.26.10.2 WWE) on the startup screen.
So I did some searching on here and found out that Molski creates some awesome ROMs for our phones, and I found a download link to upgrade to AKU3.3 that is supposed to have MMS support and all sorts of other cool stuff. I upload the new ROM as instructed, and the phone works but there are absolutely no differences between 2.3 and the new 3.3. The only thing that's different is the startup splash screen, it now displays a Windows logo and old one simply said Molski.biz in red letters.
The ROM version and everything else is still the same, and I have no MMS features, no Smartskey, extra themes, etc. that the new Molski ROM is supposed to have.
Can anyone help me?
Phone info (before & after AKU3.3 install is the SAME)
G3 HTC Wizard
ROM: 2.26.10.2 WWE
GSM: 02.25.11
SPL: 2.26
IPL: 2.26

Since you upgraded and only the splash screens changed and not the rom, it sounds like iti probably isn't CID Unlocked (so they may have used shell tool or something). What you should do is CID Unlock it just to be sure if you want to play with various custom roms (like Molski, Faria, and all the WM6 ones):

Here's another link to keep handy for overall steps of flashing:

Now, with that said, if all you want to do is get MMS working, here's a cab for Cingular (I'm assuming thats who you have, you didn't say) that will get MMS going

That worked .. but I still can't download MMS messages when I receive them. It starts downloading but stays at 0% the whole time. I followed the guide on Cingular's website to setup their MMS options and the only thing I noticed is that my phone doesn't have the option to connect via MEdia Net for the downloads. Could that be the problem?

You do have to be sure you are operating with MediaNet with proxy to get MMS messages. Go to Settings>Connections>Advanced>Select Networks, hit the dropdown menu selection and pick Media Net rather than My ISP. Then go to Connections>Tasks>Set Up My Proxy Server and be sure that "This networks uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet" is checked. You can't get MMS if you aren't on MediaNet proxy!

Hmm .. it seems my phone doesn't have the MediaNet option on it. When I go to Connections>Advanced>Select Networks I only have My ISP and My Work Network .. no Media Net option available. I can rename the Work network to say MediaNet if that will work, but I dunno how to configure the proxy for MediaNet. Can anyone gimme the settings from the proxy server?

Try installing this cab and see if it gives you MEdiaNet as an option.
BTW: per a post from Dr. P I saw here, I now keep both this cab and the one I posted above (as well as others) on my SD card so if I have to hardreset or when I switch roms, I can quickly put these settings back on my phone.

I think I found them .. is this it?

Email Setup/Connection Problem

Hi guys, I been browsing the forum for a while - decided to sign up now due to getting hold of my first smart phone.
I've set up my email account (pop3) it worked the first time yesterday, received and sent emails.
Now today, when I receive I get nothing, no messages, and when I send one i get this message:
"cannot connect with current connection settings. the change your connection setting, tap settings."
clicking on settings brings up the t-mobile settings tab etc, but I'm not sure what to change here as I'm pretty new to all this!
and I'm just wondering if I need to change anything - as it worked yesterday but not now even though i haven't changed anything.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I used to get all kinds of hassle like this with my HTC Advantage. It would work perfectly for a while, then it would not allow access, so I'd have to re-input the SAME settings all over and it would seem to work again (fortunately, it seems to be pretty well behaved nowadays!)
So long as your pop3/send/recieve/SMTP settings are all good [make sure that login names etc are all as your email provider states, usually full email address and password and smtp/outgoing *DOES* require authentication]- sounds like you might want to check on your connection settings (I assume that the internet is not working either? Or MSN messenger?) B4 going into settings you will need to find out EXACTLY what your APN (access point name) address is for your specific carrier (there are typically several ones per carrier - usually one for contract and one for PAYG) and the user name and password.
Then check/update your connection settings. You can go and edit the existing setting - you will need to choose a name for it (there should be a default) and then you may have to 'select a modem' - typically I select 'Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)', as it works best for me [on another device however, I select GPRS only, as there is poor 3G reception here in the office and it causes the connection to find a 3G signal and try to connect to it, to no avail though and thus it drops the connection - but hopefully you wont experience this!]
Next update your: 'APN' and the 'User Name' and 'password' (those 3 things will be supplied by your carrier) and save it. And HOPEFULLY that should do it - it can get a little more complicated than that, but I'm hoping that you dont have to get into setting up work networks/proxy servers etc - I can do that and have some data for it, but I'm not very good at exaplaining it I'm afraid it's something I've learnt on a trial and error basis, as I'm not a techy/network specialist AT ALL
HTH

double post*

thanks for your reply!
as far i know all my email info is fine, but I shall try again after work. only details I might have to get is t mobiles. might have to look on the net. but i'll try what you've suggested.
but the net is working fine! I'm using it now...will give it some trail and error.
thanks, and till later!

In which network are you? And which country?

Hello - I'm on t-mobile in the UK
I'm thinking of doing a total hard reset - now my googlemail isn't working ! and that was yesterday.

Just for good orders sake:
T-Mobile APN Configuration
For both contract and pay-as-you-go T-Mobile customers in UK the following APN settings are used:
Name: TMobile GPRS
GPRS APN address: general.t-mobile.uk
Username : user
Password: wap
- other settings can be left blank.
Apologies if you already know how to do this, but I just checked on the HD2 and you do the following;
GOTO the Settings tab (last one).
Hit MENU (bottom right)
Hit CONNECTIONS icon
Hit CONNECTIONS
Select (if you're accurate enough.... ) 'Manage Existing Connections' and follow the path - you may want to just re-input the above to make sure you know all is well then save it (finish)
Just a thought.

Thanks alot for that blackblade, i can use that as reference, will try again in abit - I've done a phone reset for now.
cheers fella. very helpful.

well guys, I've tried checking and changing those details - still no joy. Not sure what to do with this now to be honest!

Not sure if you've resolved this, but I had the same problem with t-mobile.
You need to deselect "use proxy server to connect to the internet" in the t-mobile internet settings, for some reason this gets selected on set up. Once you've done this you should be away!

Vodafone UK MMS settings

Hi all, despite searching and trying lots of things out I have stuffed up my settings a bit, and now have a permanent 'sending mms' message - but anyway.
I am trying to set up my vodafone UK MMS settings. I believe I have the correct settings under MMS options (It did work briefly) but the bit I am struggling with is how to setup the parts under conenctions. When I got MMS working it broke Opera's net access over 3G. Truing to fox that with many cabs etc has left me very confused and now back to having everything workinge xcept MMS.
If I set the network conenction setup manager it creates Contract Internet and My Work Network (but the latetr seems to have no settings).
I have gone round in circles for a few days and so would be grateful for any advice or cab that sets this up properly - I had my own for O2 but am struggling here.
Cheers for any help.

Did you even try Vodafone's website?
this page:
http://help.vodafone.co.uk/system/s...&PARENT_TOPIC_TYPE=0&SOURCE_FORM=BROWSE_TOPIC
at top right has links to pdf's for tp2 detailing mail, internet, wap and MMS.
Go methodically through all 4 and you should be sorted.

Thank you - yes I did try that exact page on my travels before posting.
Part of the issue may be that I am using a 6.5.x Rom and the layout is not quite the same as that envisaged in the instructions I think.
I am trying again but as I said - I have tried this way already.
EDIT - still struggling - could someone with this working on a 6.5.x ROM walk me through their conenctions setup under settings (I have the MMS Options part I am sure).

aha... so it's normal connection settings you need
I have an Xperia on Vodafone on which i'm running a 6.5 Energy Rom . I manually tweak my settings as below... dunno if this will be of any help to you...
settings>connections>connections>advanced tab>select networks>select "contract internet" in top drop down>edit
> you should have a "contract internet" modem with number "internet" listed under modem; if not add it from your internet setting pdf.
>ADD wap settings as a new modem under the "CONTRACT INTERNET" settings (should be in your WAP setup pdf) (make sure no proxy set)(so you now have Auto Pick selected)> OK
on network management page for BOTH connections select "Contract Internet">ok>ok
go into std windows messaging client>on account selector screen select sms/mms>menu>mms options>servers>select whatever is there (Contract MMS in my case)>change "connect via" to "contract internet">OK
and I THINK that's all i do..
for anywhere you can select the connection use the "Contract Internet" option we've previously setup to auto switch between 3g and wap as needed.
hope that is of help...
Buff

Trying this now - but that looks like exactly what I was looking for (in terms of what to put in where) so if this does not work then I am stumped!
Cheers for the help.
EDIT: Still no joy - it just sits there telling me it is sending the message but never going past 0%
Will try this after a clean flash when TPC puts up his next rom - or might quickly flash the 17/3 energy rom.

Update:
I have sent a message - hurrah.
This seems to be related to the fact I enabled 3g. I usually turn off 3g to save battery, and live on Edge. Do you ned 3G for MMS to work on vodafone? Or was this a coincidence?

Just saw last post as i was typing more suggestions- woohoo!
I always leave 3g enabled BUT for me I travel an hour and a half to work on train and the reception is very variable, so leave all possible connections enabled, sometimes one drops when the other doesn't.
I'm not that bothered by battery life; energy roms get me easily a couple of days which means i never really consider power an issue.
but i don't think mms SHOULD be 3g related (unless it's something to do with the implementation of MMS on your sense 2.5 rom... hmmm)

I do believe that, thanks to your help, I now have this sorted!
It was all about which way to have things et up under the network management tab really - I was putting the wap conenction as a different heading rather than a modem under the normal one.
Anyway, following the latest EnergROM flash last night I have got it working again!
Thanks a lot for the help.
I am going to try and make a provisioning cab that will sort it all and will post it if I finish it. Its setting the default connections on the network management tab that might stump me but we will see - there are plenty of examples around - its just a question of time. the MMS settings are just a reg export as well.

'Dedicated' Internet setting for mail in cooked ROMS (for Telstra HD2)

Hi Rom Cookers,
I flashed to Atremis Cooked ROM (do not like the Telstra ROM and all the BS that ships with it) and noticed there is a problem, which I suspect may exist on most cooked ROMS that are built on stock ROM's.
The Telstra devices ship with two kinds of 'Connection' settings, Dedicated, and Internet.
The 'Internet' setting is for stock standard internet, whilst the 'Dedicated' connection setting is for people that use Telstra's plan which includes 'free MS exchange mail syncing, etc'. The problem in my case is that when under a dedicated plan, but using the internet setting, I get charged ridiculous rates for using mail and internet. And in the cooked ROM's, there is no setting for 'dedicated'.
Does any chef know how to restore this setting?
Any help would be much appreciated, keep up the good work
Thank you.
EDIT: Just so everyone knows exactly where to find this setting, (it's kind of hidden) you get to it like this:
Start > Email > Menu > Options > Tap 'Outlook Email' > Click Next through the settings screens until you reach the 'Edit Server Settings' screen (this displays 4 checkboxes with 'Contacts' 'Email' 'Calender' 'Tasks' > Press Menu > Press Advanced > Then you will see 3 dropdown menus, last menu should be 'Connection', drop this box down to see your options.. It will likely have just 'Internet'. Telstra ROM's have 'Dedicated' and 'Internet'...
I need to find out how to restore the 'Dedicated' setting
Thanks again to anyone who can help!

Let me know if you find an answer to this please. I can add this dimension to the problem: if you take a standard Telstra $80 plan, you get 600MB data included. But if you go for the MS Exchange add on, they charge you an extra $20 pm and REDUCE your data to 100MB. I use around 300MB per month browisng the internet (and a lot less through Activesync for MS Exchange). In other words, on the standard plan, the 600MB would be fine. But because of the reduced data allowance, I have to pay an further $20 for a 1G data pack, resulting in me paying $40 pm extra. If someone could tell me that Activesync works well on a standard plan using a stock rom, that would be great. But the posts I've seen suggest that once you flash with an non-Telstra rom, there are problems with Activesync.

when you hard reset a telstra stock rom (or when you first get it outa the box) does it go through a network setup stage during first boot? (my euro one did) cos if so, its probably a small app rather than hard coded settings, and then you could dump the stock rom into a kitchen and extract the networksetup and make it into a cab? maybe? (i'm no chef)

Might be a hassle, but either flash back to stock and/or find another person with a HD2 that wasn't flashed, load up a registry editor, and go to:
HKLM/Comm/ConnMgr/Providers
and poke through there.
To give you a reference, on my phone, under guid 7c4b7... I have a folder connections that might be helpful for you.
Further down, under guid ef097f4... there are more folders which might be useful.

Thanks guys I will check that out and report back, my boss is the only one with an HD2 so I'll need to grab it flash the stock and the Atremis (for example) ROm and compare the differences. Cheers for your replies.

Hi salada2k
Did you manage to get the settings?

My drop-down menu shows
Telstra Broadband
Telstra Enterprise
Telstra MMS
Telstra Internet
Work
The internet

Argento,
What is the apn shown under Telstra Enterprise?

Hi Guys,
I have two Telstra HD2's with Dutty roms on them, I use Telstra pre-paid on both.
I am having an issue with my exchange and IMAP accounts. I think it is a related issue as my data works fine in opera but I can only send &receive when connected to WiFi. when I do try to send/receive on data i get a connection error message, interestingly I get the same message if i try to use data with Skype or an app called "known food".
I would welcome any assistance.
