WAP Broswer

I know PPC2003 IE support WAP.
But my phone provider Ireland Vodafone has a WAP system called Vodafone live!
I cannot configure IE to use this as it has it's own GPRS and GSM connection profile and Access Point and Proxy. So I want to get a WAP Browser for the XDAII that I can configure to use the WAP settings from Vodafone and the IE can be left for ISP settings and general browsing.
Anyone any suggestions?

Try NetFront browser

I use the O2active portal and that is something similar to Vodafone Live.
I do have german OS, so my tranlations might not be totally correct.
goto settings -> connections -> connections -> company networks (in german Firmennetzwerke) the last entry.
Here you find the WAP network.
Under "Modem" you can set up the acces point, under proxysettings the proxy, just get your vodfone live stuff from their website or extract it from a mobile. This sould work.
No need for extra cash ;-)

I am with Vodafone.
I got the XDAII as a Sim Free Phone from O2.
I have removed the extended ROM stuff and set it up for Vodafone.
I have everything working, GPRS & CSD Internet Access. E-Mail, MMS all with Vodafone.
I have setup the connection for the WAP ie. Vodafone live!
All I can enter is the APN "live.vodafone.com" and username and password. BUT I still need to enter the gateway address ie. 10.24.59.100 and the homepage " http://live.vodafone.com".
So where do I enter the gateway if I want to use IE for the WAP browser, and I assume the homepage is not a Proxy address, it's what I enter into the IE address bar to get the wap site???
Anyone,
Thanks again for the info.

under "again-the-stuff-before" where is written proxy-settings, check "use a proxy" (again, mine is german)
under extended you can set the ip address for WAP and WAP secure.
The start-homepage you simple set under IE (just as you would it in Windows)
good luck

This is not a problem due to connexion, GPRS, GSM wap or anything.
for vodafone live, as for Orange world and others, the do watch for the user agent of your device to select the type of page to display.
Every operator has a pool of mobile devices and unfortunately i guss the XDA2 does not belong to this pool.
Here in france it had just been added a couples of days ago because they are now selling it as SPV1000 on the orangeworld contract.
So even if you use a wap browser like ezwap or another, the problem will still remain, the user agent of your devices will not be recognize by the vodafone live wap proxy.

in germany they start selling the XDA2/MDA2 also now from vodafone...
anyway... if you ever had a customized vodafone-firmware on your phone you'll hate vodefone for ever ;-)

Maybe try to begin the URL with wsp:// instead of http:// ...

AT&T WAP Settings in US?

Vodafone V1640 - no pocket msn

received 3 Vodafone V1640's at work, and the little buggers don't have Pocket MSN installed, which means no MSN Messenger! have hunted around for the .exe but its no where to be seen
is anyone able to extract the necessary files to get Messenger working again? be much appreciated.
i'm quite surprised Vodafone havn't completed screwed the devices and put god awful themes/icons on them. the only things they do are add their own "inbox/sms/calender" icons to the Today screen which point to the same inbox etc as the default ones...
alex

Tell me what files you nedd and i'll try help
But i ask for a favour in return.
I have 02 xda exec in corporate mode. I have no connection settings for vodafone, I cant get mms working or nothing.
Id appreciate your settings.
I downloaded the latest rom from ftp and it doesnt put the connection settings into my exec, only puts in the mms settings under messaging/inbox, mms configuration
Ive tried allsorts of configurations to no avail. I just cant believe that the latest rom doesnt set up the connections automatically.

Voda Rom
Guys can you use vodafone live sucessfully on your universal, does it work with graphcs and live tv
Thankks

I cant get vodafone working full stop!
Cant find any instructions for connections that work.....
The Vodafone ext rom on the ftp doesnt set up connections after a hard reset
the bits n bats of info i pulled from posts here doesnt seem to work
theres no help on the vodafone web site bcos the VPA IV isnt available in UK yet it seems
Going around in circles, got an all singing/dancing device and I cant use it!

Voda
ok i will give you the settings that work for me now with vodafone
Go to start, settings, connections under isp add a new modem connection.
Select cellular line (gprs, 3G)
Call it vodafone internet
Access point name internet
user name web
passwordd web
that should give you a 3g internet connection, let me know how you get on
Cheers
Chris

is it as simple as that? there are no dns servers or anything?
Is there no modem connection under "My work network"
also under messaging>menu>mms configuration, could you give me these settings please?
Please Please if you have the time will you write all the settings down and where they are.
IE my isp, my work network, mms configuration, together with any dns servers/gateways etc
It Would be greatly appreciated.
BTW does your hard reset set up the connections to vodafone? if it does could you share your extended rom?
if you click on the signal strength icon then settings then band.... whats your setup in here?
sorry for pestering you with all these questions but im desperate to set this up, been messing about with his for a couple of days now.
BTW i installed the vodafone rom last night. Sure enough there are no messenger icons but if you use a thirdpary file explorer and browse to "\windows" you will find instmsgr.exe (this is messenger)
and
pmsn.exe, pmsnlauncher.exe & pmserver.exe (these are pocket msn)
I guess you could create shortcuts to these using something like resco file explorer and put the shortcuts in your start menu.
If these files are not present let me know, I can also copy you the shortcuts if your having trouble

I have a v1640, and have been wondering about pocket messenger.
Trying the above mentioned, i find that these files do not exist :S
Any help would be apreciated.

***UPDATE***
I called vodafone today, and after being bupmed about a bit, i was finally told that the v1640s should come with msn, as it is listed in the product description. I currently have a helpful tech looking into the options for me, and it would apear that some 1640s come with msn, and others don't.

I've got an XDA Exec which I use with a Vodafone 3G Sim, and the following settings work just fine for me:
Under Settings->Connections->MyISP I have the following:
Name: Vodafone GPRS
Modem: Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)
Access Point Name: internet
Username: [email protected]
Password: [email protected]
Under advanced, I have:
User server-assigned IP address under TCP/IP, and also under Servers.
All other entries are unchecked.
Under 'My Work Network', I have the following:
Name: Vodafone MMS
Modem: Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)
Access Point Name: wap.vodafone.co.uk
Username: [email protected]
Password: [email protected]
Under advanced, I have:
User server-assigned IP address under TCP/IP, and also under Servers.
All other entries are unchecked.
If you now go into Pocket Outlook, you need to check your MMS settings. There should be an item at the bottom of the menu called 'MMS Configuration...'. Select it, and check the following:
Under preferences, I have the following checked:
Retrieve Messages Immediately
Download on home network only
Save sent messages
Under servers, I have an entry called 'Contract MMS', which has the following settings:
Server Name: Contract MMS
Gateway: 212.183.137.12
Port Number: 8799
Server address: http://mms.vodafone.co.uk/servlets/mms
Connect via: My Work Network
Sending size limitation: 100K
WAP Version: WAP 2.0
Using these settings, everything I've tried works just fine.
Bagpuss.

And setting up mms helps us get MSN messenger how????? These are phone distroed by voda, and already have the mms stuff setup.....

The MSN app was removed at the request of Vodafone Global.
Vodafone have a new version of VF-Messenger comming soon which has connectivity with MSN (http://www.vodafone.com/article_wit...LANGUAGE_ID%3D0%26CONTENT_ID%3D261956,00.html)
The v1240 (tornado) also doesnt have MSN in the ROM.
The spec sheets have very recently changed to include the miss communication that the devices have MSN.
For what I hear we have not seen half of what Vodafone are planning for the windows mobile devices.

All sounds good.... however my problem is I need msn messenger now and not in a few more months time
REDMOND, Wash., and NEWBURY, U.K. - 30 June 2005 - MSN and Vodafone plan to launch the enhanced messaging service in several European countries before the end of the year.

After some tooing and frowing from department to department, i managed to get a nice lady in TS to credit the £10.99 it would cost for the msn download.
The words "Its not the price, its the principal. Several of your competitors offer this device with msn messenger on it" seemed to work.

Where can you download it from? Seems odd to pay for msn messenger. Would have thought they'd encourage you to have it (rack up the gprs)

You can download it from the microsoft mobile site/msn messenger site.
However, there is word in the pipeline of a vodafone messenger that connects to the msn messenger network.

someone help please ... PocketMSN, Pocket MSN please .....

Qtek 9000 + Vodafone SE

Is it possible to surf the Vodafone Live with the phone? Can any swedish dudes confirm that?

Sorry, cannot use live.vodafone.com it seams. All I get is a white screen with text live.vodafone.com when I go there with IE.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=29595
can you try to do that?

For voda in UK (maybe same for other countries), there are 2 connections required - one for internet, and one for wap. You need the connection details for both (set wap as the default work connection and internet as ISP)
the url for live is not http://live.vodafone.com, it is wsp://live.vodafone.com

I think you ned to do as the url i posted last post. Modifie so my phone looks like for an example a vodafone live branded phone like SE V600 or any other 3G phones.

One thing i missed, you need the proxy infor for the WAP connection, and this is the connection to use for wsp://live.vodafone.com

And then i should come in on VF Live?.... Recieved the phone a few minutes ago, need to fix some utils i need on it first.

You will be able to browse the LIve! page, BUT, streamin g TV is a bit of a problem ATM :/

Sorry, been away.
I've tried setting up wap-proxy, but no success. Also tried user-agent spoofing, but I can't get it to work (I've verified correctly modified user-agent with other sites). When I browse to live.vodafone.com (http or wsp) I ony get a white page with black text "live.vodafone.com". I suspect this is the "catch-all" page where something is wrong with originating-ip or browser-tag. Please post if you find a way. Live TV would be nice.

Fix BBC iPlayer Device Error & 3G Streaming

Hey everyone, this is my first thread here so bear with me.
After trawling different forums I finally found a way to get the BBC iPlayer fully working over a 3G connection on my HD2.
To accomplish this I had to fix two problems -
1. My HD2 showing as an unsupported model on the iPlayer website
2. The iPlayer refusing to stream over my 3G connection due to it only being available to Vodafone customers (which I am)
The first problem is solved by applying a about:config tweak in Opera. Open Opera and type "about:config" (no quotes) into the address bar.
Scroll to user prefs and find the Custom User Agent field.
Delete EVERYTHING in this field and replace it with "HTC_Touch_HD_T8282" (no quotes).
Scroll down to the bottom and hit Save.
Now you have access to the iPlayer mobile website, and you can stream over wifi to your hearts content. But streaming over your phones internet will bring another error.
NOTE: The following fix has only been confirmed to work for Vodafone customers
When you put your SIM into your TouchPro2 it configures all connection settings for you. What it doesnt do is create the settings for a wap connection which is what you will need to use to connect to the internet in order for the BBC iPlayer to recognise you are on a vodafone connection.
To do this on your HD2 go to Settings --> Menu -> All Settings --> Connections --> Connections --> Add a new modem connection
Enter any name for your connection (vodawap is a good one) and choose Cellular Line (GSM) as the line.
Access Point Name: wap.vodafone.co.uk
User: wap
Pass: wap
Now according to the source of this fix you need to select the wap connection as defualt, and switch back once you are on the iPlayer site.
However, my HD2 is set to Auto Pick and works fine..
Hope this helps you as much as it did me!

hi there.
can you tell what quality/format of video you get off iplayer for ppc?
i have tried "myplayer" app but the quality of iplayer there is awfull as its adapted for low spec devices. iphone's iplayer app is using h264 at a decent bitrate. the app is not win mobile though.
thanks

On 02 but will give it a go.

sky sports mobile tv *sorted* (voda users)

has anyone managed to get this working yet? i subscribed yesterday thinking it would lead me to an app download or somthing but all it gave me was the sky+ recording app thing
dont want to be peying for somthing i can use
iphone has a dedicated app for it which i would have thought would of been available for any phone capable of watching sky on it...want it working before tomorrow so i can watch the match

bump, no one got sky?

What network are you on?
I'm on T-mobile and go to the web 'n' walk home page, from there click on the TV and Video tab and there is a link to Sky Sports TV. I found I have to be on 3G not Wifi to connect to it. Then go into the subscriptions and choose what you want.
If you are not on T-mobile then I assume you go into your network own mobile homepage.
Cheers.

imon vodafone and for some reason they see HD2 users and business customers instead of personal so you can't use vodafone live, i was hoping someone had found a way around this...cant wait for my contract to end, hate vodafone

ok just came across this info, now subscribed and able to get on vodawank live, maybe this could be put in the hints and tips thread?
To get onto live, you need to change your settings. Here is a quick explanation I found from the admin of the forum. If your in a rush to get onto live then skip this part =)

What's an APN?
APN stands for Access Point Name, and is perhaps best thought of as a ‘gate’ or ‘portal’ through to reaching the internet. Different APN’s have different properties, and so there are benefits and features to using them appropriately.
When attempting to connect to an internet-based service (say, the browser, or email), most phones will normally prompt the user with APN options. It’s important that you connect through the right one, otherwise the service might not even work. Our quick guide will explain what all the different APNs are, and the ones that you need to go through to make the correct connection.
For example, a user’s APN list might resemble in part the following:
1 – Contract Internet
2 – Contract WAP
3 – PAYT Internet
4 – PAYT WAP
Contract Internet
APN: Internet
Username: web
Password: web
This is our default Contract customer APN for general internet use, and should be the default for any non-Vodafone or Live! related service (such as Google Maps, for an example).
What it’s used for: Go through this portal if you want to browse the web, connect to or send email from your mobile's built-in email inbox.
What it’s not used for: You cannot connect to Vodafone Live! via this APN (use 'Contract WAP', below)
Contract WAP
APN: wap.vodafone.co.uk
Username: wap
Password: wap
This is our default Contract customer APN for Vodafone Live! and Live! based services.
What it’s used for: Go through this portal if you want to browse Vodafone Live!, or make use of any Vodafone Live! services, such as Mobile TV.
What it’s not used for: You cannot access or send email from device-based email clients (such as Outlook Mobile, or a generic Messages inbox), nor will non-Vodafone internet-based applications work via this APN. For this please use the 'Contract Internet' APN

Now the how to:
1.Go to start-> settings -> wireless controls
2.tap menu in the bottom right corner, then connections
3.At the bottom of the screen should be two tabs, Tasks and Advanced. Tap Advanced.
4.You should have "Select which networks are automatically used" appear. tap the box Select Networks
5. "Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using:" Contract WAP, tap ok
6.Go to the web browser of your choice. and go to http://live.vodafone.com - if you don't get the vodafone live site, you've done something wrong.
7. If you want TV on your HD2, you'll need to have 3G or H at the top of the screen otherwise you'll just get the message saying your not in the area. I just subscribed to sky sports =)
Just a thought, I think there may be a downside to leaving it on contract WAP so I guess it would be wise to return it to Contract internet when possible.
Hope this helps =)

sorry to drag this up again but a word of warning to anyone thinking about getting sky mob tv, the quality is disgustingly bad, best ive had so far is 92kbs, considering tvcatchup.com is pretty much a perfect picture i think its a bit of a ripp off!
after all the *****ing i did LOL
