Hi Guys,
Great forum, just got my xda 2, amazing piece of kit. I'm having a little trouble getting GPRS to work, I got the settings from Vodafone but am totally confused as I still won't work.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,

GPRS settings
Batman,
I have an XDA2 with a Vodafone SIM (work phone so it's pay monthly), might be different for ready to go .Here's the way I have it set.
Go into Connections .Manage existing connections .New. Give it a name. Select Cellular line (GPRS) as the modem. NEXT. Access point name is isp.vodafone.ie .username and password are both dublin and the domain field is left blank. Leave all the advanced settings as they are i.e. server assigned everything. Works a treat every time even from Mullingar . As I said it may be different for ready to go but if this does not work for you try doing a search for GRPS settings in boards.ie they have an excellent comms section and are very helpful .
Brendan.
Brendan,
Thank you very much, it worked perfectly.
Many thanks,
Batman
Works!
Brilliant - That worked for me too!
Hey all, I've trawled through the posts here and googled this several times but I cannot find an idiot proof method of setting up GPRs on Pocket PC 2002.
All the setting i find on google are for Pocket PCs without internet connectivity like the XDA.
Does anybody else here have the settings they use and an idiot proof guide to inputting them as this is my first experience using an XDA.
Thanks all.
Got this sorted - thanks.
Virgin Settings
How did you get it sorted??
This is doing my head in. I can't find any settings that work and as you know those numbs nuts at Virgin can't help.
these work for me
select: modem cellular line (gprs)
access point name: goto.virginmobile.uk
user name : user
password and domain - leave blank
under advanced - TCP/IP and servers -dot on use server-assigned IP address
The above worked for me.

Virgin MMS Settings
Yeah. I have managed to set up the GPRS on can now browse website on my PDA.
But what about MMS. I can't find the right settings to make that work.
Does anyone know of a website with this info? (Virgin has thier MMS setting but they do not relate to PDA's)
Or
Can anyone reading this tell me in idiot proof terms how to do it?
Thanks
This might help you setting up MMS on your XDA I

The topic is written specifically for Optus Australia network, but you can just replace the server addresses etc. with your own network's.
I just took those settings from a friend's mobile phone and it seems to work. So i dont think there's a difference between PDA's and phones when it comes to settings for mms. My sefvice provider also refused to give me the settings. Anyways, thats a step in the right direction for you, gd luck!
I just got this XDAlls and got it unlocked. The problem is that ATT/ Cingular does not support this device and won't help with any settings. I need to know from step 1 how and what settings to use to get internet and email. I have the GSM service so the settings that you guys can give me should work. I have setup many desktops , but this is really different! My home DSL service is Bellsouth. Thanks!!!
Hi
First of all. Read wiki section.
If your provider does not support this device. Get a support for other 'well' featured phone model.
You'll need such things as GPRS connection parameters. (login, passowrd, gateway ip's etc.)
Read wiki.
I'm using a 3G data connection that requires a http proxy.
So... I've defined a proper APN with proxy.
Browser is the only program that I can use with this connection (only page view, no download). All the rest application that need an internet connection simply doesn't work.. nothing. Even the download from the browser doesn't work.
I've tried with another APN that's not using a proxy and works. Also with WiFi is ok.
So, my question is: it is posible to enable http proxy in ALL programs? I had no problem on Symbian or Windows Mobile..
This is by no means a definite answer, but in your APN, try adjusting the "APN type" setting. On Telus, it's: default,mms
From what I understand you can try a combination of those two settings, or set it to nothing. See what results you get.
Thanks for the reply
Unfortunately no change.
While it's not the response you were hoping for, since no one else has responded, I would contact my provider if I were in your position. See if they can offer any insight. Good luck!
Thanks but my provider cannot do anything. I've used this connection on other platforms without problem (windows mobile, symbian).
The problem is that application take just the apn without proxy details.. Only the browser is using the proxy
It seems that's an Android issue ..
You may star this issue:

so maybe google will understand the importance of this feature.. i'm still wondering why it's not implemented as it should..
Hi All,
Not a flaming thread at all this but I hope an informative one. I love the Energy ROM and the fact that I mention it here is not to say it is a bad ROM.
I have been battling with MMS settings on my HD2 for a long time. I have never managed to get it to work at all, whatever settings I tried.
The issue it seems was the ROM I was using, the Energy ROM is one in particular. Possibly more but I have had the problem for so long I can't remember what other ROMs gave me problems.
What I can say is that in desperation, ran out of ideas, I tried changing ROMs with the sole intention of testing MMS settings and there it was, I changed to the Artemis ROM and all was well, MMS settings worked.
I am going to do further tests to be 100% sure but one thing I have noticed was that with the Energy ROM I couldn't select 'celular Line (GPRS), it was always greyed out to 'Celular Line'. I think this might have been the problem but as I say some confirmation of that required.
Here are the O2 settings:

I hope this helps someone.

those data settings are for the mobile data connection, , , mms wont send over that data network. O2 require a wap data modem set up too, purely for mms to send over.
when connectionsetup runs at first boot with an o2 sim, it sets up two data accounts, 'mobile web' and 'o2 active'.
mobile web is for, well, mobile web, and runs at full data speed, and the o2 active account is what the mms server settings are pointed at, and connects to o2's wap server.
have a peek HERE for o2 active settings.
The thing that confused me for ages is that when you go to settings connections connections manage existing connections,, it only shows you the 'mobile web' account, until you go to 'advanced - select networks' and change the top dropdown to 'o2 active', when you can then view/edit that account.
dont forget to change that top dropdown back to mobile web, cos if you leave it set to o2 active (like i did today) it uses the wap server for all your data, which isn't as fast as the mobile web server.

I got confused for a while and spent ages trying to work it out. If you go Settings>Connections>Connections, under here you should find two titled sections, Proxy Internet and My Work Network.
What I have is under:
- Proxy Internet>Manage existing connections: contains the mobile web settings
-My Work Network>Manage existing connections: contains the o2 active settings using wap server.
One other thing to check is go to the Sense Message tab and go: All Messages>Menu>Setting>Options>Menu>MMS Server select the o2 MMS (might be named differently depending on ROM). You'll find a list of server details, don't need to touch these, the only thing to check is "Connect via" option and make sure it points to My Work Network. This will pick up the correct wap settings.
Just thought I'd offer my findings.

Just in case someone follows this link and gets confused, the settings in it are for contract, not pre-pay.
Pre-pay:
APN - payandgo.o2.co.uk
Username - payandgo
Password - password
Proxy Tab - 'This network connects to the internet' should be ticked. That's all. No further details are necessary.
What NRG rom are you using? To avoid having to enter anything manually, after flashing one of NRG's rom, when the phone automatically configure network with O2 SIM at first boot, simply select prepay or contract (postpay?) as appropriate. Soft reset. After phone reboots, hit Start, go into Settings, Connections, Connections, then on the Task tab tap ' Automatically configure connection'. Allow it to do its thing, then soft reset. I haven't had to manually enter data or MMS settings for my O2 prepay sim in an NRG rom for a long time : )
