Hi
In my country, Viet Nam, have 2 GSM providers: Vinaphone & Mobiphone.
With Vinaphone sim, I can use GPRS & make call or answer without any problem
But with Mobiphone sim card, GPRS confict with GSM, so can not make call or answer any call,
The problem here is GPRS from Mobilphone, I can ask mobiphone to stop GPRS for my Mobil simcard, then can make call without any problem.
The question is: Can I stop GPRS from O2 XDA , not from Mobiphone System.
O2 XDA II can work with mobiphone with GPRS without any problem
Pls help.
Thanks & Best Regards
Hai Nguyen, you could delete your GPRS connection settings - no settings,
no GPRS! If you just wish to stop GRPS after using it for a while, press
and hold the red key for a few seconds, and that should disconnect you.
I am surprised that VMS and Mopiphone have a different setup - in almost
all other respects they are very similar, since they are heavily leglislated.
The only real difference I have found is on hte edge of their rural coverage,
especially around Long Xuyen.
Good luck anyway,
Dave.
There is a Freeware where you are able to choose whether you want GPRS to stay connected once you no longer use it. It installed ok on my unit, no strange behavior.

Thanks all for your help
But the problem here is not GRPS software, This is a GPRS signal conficted with GSM Signal
GPRS software, connect or not is not this problem
I call Mobilephone to stop my GPRS so I can use Mobiphone simcard with O2 XDA (Running SX56 2003 rom, Radio Stack 4.21),
When I call back Mobilephone to active my GPRS signal. this problem come.
SO
This can not use GPRS software to stop or solve.
It is only solve by stopping GPRS signal from provider, so I look for the way to stop from handphone (some modify in registry or radio stack)
Pls advise

Hi,
Any one can help me ..I like to disable GPRS function when my XDA turn on. Pls let me know how to disable.
Thanks

Disable GPRS! very easy...
Are you living in Vietnam? if your service provider is VMS, let call them ( technical Dept.) & request them disable GPRS on your SIM. after then no (G) on your device.
Good luck
If you create no GPRS connections on your device, you will remain GPRS disconnected. The 'G' only tells you the network is offering the option of using it, it does not indicate that you're GPRS connected.
So no need to have your provider turn it off. It's that expensive over there huh?
Hi guys,
new to the forum.
I got 2 BIG (sorry just a newbie..!) question...
i just got an o2 xda.
a) I managed to set up gprs connection to browse internet pages.
My question is... when I insert my sim in the xda, as soon as my provider (wind italy) is recognised a "G" symbol appears next to the radio signal...but after a few seconds it disappears..what does it mean? that the phone is not working under gprs? should i set up something more to allow the phone to work in gprs mode?
b) can i install any application made for pocket pc on the xda? or does a sort of "porting" exist to make them work on the xda?
Thanks in advance
Paolo
a) dont really understand what you mean
1 you ask about if calls are blocked while you are using GPRS
2 you ask if the G symbol mean that your gsm network dont support gprs
b) no, applications for pocketPC compiled for ARM works under all pda's which have pocketPC and an ARM cpu
I think he is asking why the "G", vanishes after initial connection, is that a sign that gprs is not active or is it normal even while gprs is active. Personally I cant get gprs to work with O2 and I have found no solution even though O2 tells me it is available to me.
that's it! I guess the "G" symbol means that gprs is active at the moment (even for calls). So if after a few seconds the "G" symbol is gone, i guess it means that i'm working under gsm and not gprs.
The question is..assuming that what i'm saying is true.. how is possible to make phone calls under "gprs"?
Thanks a lot for your answers.
Paolo
well because autoconf dident include my country or phone company i set up my gprs myself
i did this under
settings
connections
connections
internet settings - modify
new
put a name
select modem -> celluar line (gprs)
typed in the access point of my phonecompany's gprs in my case [Internet]
opened IE
it wanted user name password and domain
i dident type anything at all
but checked save settings
pressed ok and
it loaded the page and i could suft and use messenger and such
Question 1: When the G sign appears when you turn on your radio, it means that GPRS is available. After a few seconds, it always disappears: this does not mean anything. If you connect to GPRS, the G sign does not appear again. If you make a phone call (or receive a phone call) while connected via GPRS, the XDA disconnects automatically from GPRS.
Question 2: Programs for Pocket PC are all compatible with XDA. Just 2 things to remember:
a- some programs are written specifically for some Pocket PCs (like iPaq), so they might not run on XDA
b- some programs related to mobile phones (for managing SMS, fax, ...) are specifically written for PDAs connected to mobile phones (Nokia, ...) and thus not compatible with the Pocket PC Phone Edition
GPRS IE Errors
The logon and password box when you open IE either mean
1. your user name and password for the GPRS connection are incorrect for your provider and contract or
2. You have proxy settings enabled which you don't need
3. You don't have proxy settings and need them.
Hope this helps
Thanks to all,
i managed to understand...that the "G" symbol is disappearing from the main screen but if i "touch" the radio signal a bubble appears with the provider name (ie. WIND) and the "G" symbol on the right side of the bubble.
I guess that means i'm connected in gprs mode all the time. Thanks.

Hi Paolo.
The "G" symbol means that your XDA have the GPRS Service active by your cellphone provider.
If you have WM2003, to configure the GPRS funcionality you need to go:
- System Panel - Connections and click in "Connections icon".
- "Add a new Modem connection"
- "Enter a name for the connection and select the option Celular Line (GPRS).... Click Next
- Enter the name for the Access Point (of you provider)... Click Next
- Enter the Username and password, if you need it... Click Advanced
- Enter the DNS Servers manualy, if you need it. Click OK and Finish...
And you have GPRS.
Greetings...
Sorry my english, but it is the best i can.
If somebody has foolproof step by step settings for GPRS over O2 using payg sim, I would be very grateful, I have followed instructions from elsewhere but no joy.

No, you;re only part way there. The presence of the G means that GPRS is available, but does not mean you're connected.
I was surf the net while the phone ring. I go ahead and answer the phone, it did take a couple of seconds to get the phone connected. There was a beep and I've noticed the GPRS signal was gone.
It is a bug or the xda was build like this? :roll: Is there any way to have both GPRS and phone up and running?
i never had that issue
maybe it's an operater issue or you use an old rom / radio stack
I and several others I've spoken to about it had a similar question. After some testing (and close reading of the O2 website) it turns out that this is 'as designed' behaviour. GPRS is "always on", but only while you are not making a GSM call. After your call finishes, the GPRS should automatically reconnect.
O2 cleverly glosses over the issue in its marketing materials by calling it "always on" just like that - in inverted commas - and explaining that you can be 'signed in to MSN Messenger all day' which is sort of true, in the sense that if you set up MSN Messenger to connect automatically (at considerable bandwidth cost!) it will reconnect when the GPRS connection is re-established after you complete a voice call.
This is my understanding anyway. If anyone knows more (or can reliably inform me that there is a ROM fix that will keep GPRS really always on, then I'm very keen to know...!
Greg.
BTW my ROM version was already the latest 3.20.06 ENG
Radio version 4.21.01
Here is what I just did.
I had GPRS enabled and try dialing a number. As soon as I got GSM connected, GPRS was no longer available and will not automatically reconnect.
Is there a setup for GPRS reconnection?
How do I go about the set my xda as GPRS always on?
Do I have to set my MSN Messenger to connect automatically in order to re-gain the automatically reconnection?
Thanx in advance.
Just went thru the FAQ's on myxda.com and here is what I've found.
12 . After finishing a phone call, sometimes I cannot use GPRS to surf the Internet? Is this correct?
Yes, GPRS needs to be re-connected if a phone call is made during a GPRS transaction.
21 . Can I make calls while surfing the net?
No, your gprs cannot be connected while a phone call is commencing.

Steve
Hallo!
Have nobody the same Poblemms?
Steve
Both GPRS WEB and GPRS WAP works well on my MDA II
Had some problems with GPRS and MDA I, but with the MDA II everything is OK.
You must unlock GPRS WEB (Hotline or Homepage http://www.telering.at/Content.Node/my-telering/2836.php)
Without that only GPRS WAP works.

Hi there, I am wondering if it is possible for the XDA to work in Australia. I have the upgraded rom from Xda devellopers and have removed the sim lock, but it dosen't seem to pick up the Aus networks.
Any help would be great
What for device are you using? PW10A or PW10B?
Maybe it's a problem with the GSM-networks. PW10A is for 900/1800MHz and PW10B for 900/1900
Have you tried to search manual for any available services?
Stefan
How do I find out the PW10a or b info.... The other version info is as follows
ROM Version; 3.17.03 ENG
Radio Version; 4.21.00
Protocol Version ; 32s54
Sorry, found it....PW10A1
I am guessing no one has any help or info about this. what a wasted purchase.
The XDA/XDA II/XDA III (IIs) do work in Australia.
Where is your XDA from, country? What network are you trying to connect too down here?
I have been told it is from the UK. I purchased it 3rd hand so I can only go by what the previous owner has told me.
In the auto config screen, I get the options for 02 network from UK, Ireland, De and a few others.
I am wanting to connect it to an Optus network preferrably, but any would do.
I have tried Optus (plan and prepaid) and telstra plan, but no signal shows up.
Just clarifying, you have tried Optus and Telstra phone services or data services?
You verified the SIM's worked in another phone?
The sims are able to be swapped into various phones, I have a panasonic gd50, a nokia 7250 and a motorola v600, and an ericson (can't remember what model) and they all work in each other.
The sims are set up as phone service, ie: normal mobile usage, I have even tried an optus prepaid in it.
I am only wanting to use it for the phone service, gprs and net usage is not of interest as yet.
Howdy, I have the same model and it works fine on Telstra. I originally had problems with SIM lock and GID lock, but after upgrading to 2003 from lumpistefans kitchen I've had no problems with it! Good reception and minimal drop out. It's not a waste of money. The ROM i used was the O2 one and did not use the auto config, it finds it for itself and aknowledges the telstra network fine. If you go to an Optus shop they should be able to help, they also have pretty good phone help and should be able to talk you through the settings,
Good luck!
Peace,
Robert
Thanks Ryap. I am thinking that it should automatically find the network tho......is this not the case
I know on XDA II and PDA2K you can select the network or set it to Automatic. Might want to check this setting.
SETTINGS > PERSONAL TAB > PHONE > NETWORK TAB

I think you are confusing the autoconfig of the device with the network setup for the phone.
You can cancel the autoconfig that appears at the end of a hard reset. This just gives you some quick settings for the GPRS and MMS networks - you can add these later after talking to Optus.
Once the SIM is in, you need to make sure the phone is on by switching OFF flight mode. This kicks the phone in. Then if Optus is not picked up as your default network you just go into Settings>Phone>Network and then use the Find Network button and then the Set Networks button. After that you can check the Automatic Network selection button to make the settings stay.

Hi all, thanks for the support so far,
As of now, I can't get any network at all....still.
when i insert the sim and enable the phone it says serching, but thats about it.
I have no idea where to find the flight mode, and when I click on the phone in the settings screen, nothing happens.
I don't get any carrier name or logo come up and appear.
Cheers
Michael
On XDA II (don't have XDA) when the phone senses a service it puts four vetical bars next to the speaker/volume icon at the top of the screen. If you tap the bars it should bring up a pop-up, this is where there should be a line (link) to click on that says "Turn off flight mode". I am not sure if this is part of the original XDA though.
When you clicked on the PHONE icon under SETTINGS it didn't do anything?
At the top bar, next to the speeker, I have a tree type logo and when i tap it it says searching. When i open the phone and then click options, it freezes for about 5 maybe 7 mins and then the settings screen opens, from there it freezes and i can't select anything
Hi all.
I am greatful for you help and support up till now.
I have managed to fixmy problem.
When putting the xda devellopers rom on the pda, ther eis an option calledGSM Band in the programs list.
Well turns out it was set to 900, so i changed it to 900/1800 and rebooted the xda.
WELL HEY PRESTO, IT FOUND THE OPTUS NETWORK
So all is good and all works.
As I mentioned before I am greatful for all the support and thankyou to all who racked their brains over this.
