HELP!!!
Since I downloaded and installed the latest O2 ROM update (from Source O2) I now don't seem to be able to connect to GPRS.
The message I get is "The answering modem has disconnected. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap Settings." If I select settings everthing seems as it should.
After the update I ran the auto configuration within the O2 Active for UK, PostPaid and GPRS. So things should be OK shouldn't they? When I try and rerun the auto config it preselects Germany (is this just a default or is does this read from the settings in the system?)
Within GPRS settings the authentication is set for PAP (I've tried CHAP but it still doesn't work) and I'm using it as a Class 8 (4R1T) device.
I am also not getting the GPRS "G" appear at any point, so this might indicate that my local cell is not allowing GPRS at the moment, although it's been like this now since Thursday/Friday and I would have thought that it would have been fixed. (Southampton East - if anyone wonders)
Also it worked before the update so I know that GPRS is working on my account.
Does anyone have any ideas? I am stumped!
There is a bug on the xda2, I had the same problem with the German settings, even when I chose uk it still rebooted to the German, if you do it again, choose the uk, assuming you are in uk, wait a bit, then tap it again before doing ok, it took me 4 attempts.
I'm pretty sure that the autoconfig applet only loads settings if you have the check box selected and then close the applet. It doesn't really matter what is displayed in the check box when you actualy open the applet as these setting will not be loaded (unless you select the tick and then close auto config).
I have updated my XDA II with the ROM from the Asian site and have been using GPRS without issue. If you are not getting the G displayed it may be like you said that your telco's GPRS is currently offline?
Ed
Panic Over - I can confirm it's just my local cell not liking GPRS at the moment, Phew!! I think I paniced too soon
I've visitied my parents today across the country and GPRS works for me there so must be O2 in Southampton East - rotten lot

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.
Hi,
This topic seems to have been covered a lot on many bulletin boards concerning Windows mobile 5 for smartphones and GPRS connections but so far - to my knowledge - no conclusion.
I have a 8500 as a second phone used for my Swedish card most of the time however, when I'm back in the Uk and going out I switch cards as I don't like taking my S100 out (too big).
I have (or did have until tonight) GPRS set-up correctly for Telenor in Sweden and both internet and MMS worked fine. I installed a CAB for Vodafone UK settings for GPRS and MMS tonight and could not get the two sets of settings to work in harmony. In the end I had to remove the UK settings in order for Windows to connect correctly on the Swedish network.
Does anyone know how to have two different setting defined and tell Windows 5 which setting to use? All I can see on the internet front is "Automatically detect settings" which seems to do nothing. Also I can't seem to tell which connection is taken, is there somewhere that indicates this?
MMS seems to be a similar problem but since the CAB that set-up my Swedish settings created another "network" of VodafoneMMS I seem to be able to communicate correctly.
Any help would be appreciated. It seems the settings are correct that I have (as numerous people are using them OK) but I cannot get the two to work corectly when both of them are installed.
Many thanks,
L.
I am afraid that if you use a .cab file to configure the settings it removes the previous settings which are already on the phone.
BUT! And this worked for me on an MDA PRO or MDA Vario. You can manually configure extra APNs and an extra MMS Server settings, and then just change which one is the default.
I am not sure it is possible on the QTEK, because since a couple of weeks ago I have both Sims on the same network...
Good luck
I live in the UK and use T-Mobile as MY phones’ service and Data provider.
I have recently purchased a HTC P4600 aka The Fuze or Raph110
Unlocked but “at&t branded”.
friends has said that The Fuze is the American Equivalent version of the UK HTC touch Pro So as you know the Fuze has a USA Configuration. I don’t know that much about Opera Mobile but my guess is that it wont work in the UK. When I request to open a Opera Media page I get a Error Message HTTP gateway timed out etc. On my request T-Mobile Sent me an Automatic Configuration Text to my phone and eventually I Got connected - once connected I accessed Internet Explorer successfully so I knows the phones IE works in the UK. But now it don’t. I get a: “Cannot Connect Bubble” To change your connection settings tap Settings Settings and I do wonder why the Data settings have changed although I had put my T-Mobile sim card in another phone to test some functions I also Uninstalled the Built in “Proxy4CWS.cab” thing but when I read up a little about it I reinstalled it which helped a bit. I have also tried to connect and setup the built in Windows messenger But I get a Media Net Error message It seems as though Opera Media, Media Net, Messenger, Yahoo and IM needs the Media Net connections modem settings which seems to be hard fixed to a USA Configuration, they are not consulting the systems custom settings set by me the User;

to help aid this diagnostic I had deleted all the other connections Modems Namely
Media Nets, AT&T ISP, My Work ISP, My ISP but when I customised The Media Net’s I had a better response from messenger but not a complete connection The phone is also turning the Data Connection off randomly which is probably a product of me trying to find my way around this problem. Please Note I do have a successful Connection using T-Mobiles 3G Network. The phones Email Connection wizard works so well and I receive my Emails as I should. Along with Syncing Outlook through Active Syn 4.5. That Function seems to request the protocols I need it to be requesting. Being that the phone is a World Phone “at&t branded” Im expecting that I can iron out the Issues here for successful use in the united kingdom

Hey, i'm in the uk also, while i haven't encountered your specific problem i'll share what i know! I have used a few different roms some that are designed for the AT&t network, alot have a cab which is "Remove Hidden Proxy" maybe is this hidden proxy stuffing you up? worth a look, I do as you have and edit the MEdia net connection for my network Vodafone, but the settings vodafone send me never work so i enter them in manually found on http://www.filesaveas.com/gprs.html
I'm sure you've tried that, you could also try flashing a new Rom from here I am using RRE 5.8 RC2 and is Fast Stable and Reliable, it has everything Pre loaded exept Opera which is easy to find. Make sure you Hard SPL first though and follow Flashing your first Rom instructions for Rapheal,
Also just had a thought try a cab called Diamond Tweak in it you can enable /disable network connections and various other stuff that might be of help! i hope that helps some, let me know
just one extra thing you may be better posting this in Rapheal General as this part of the forum is for Rom development, I know its sort of a rom issue but you'll get a more positive response I think!! Safe.
hi there
im currently using a Raphael on the T-Mobile network, and as said by osrix25, removing the proxy tends to work.
also, why havent you flashed a custom rom yet?!!!! get flashing dude! any of the custom roms are miles better than the stock roms
search for 'connection wizard', its a program which does just that, sets up your connection for you after you select teh country and network!
good luck!
Hi,
I'm also on T-mobile (contract). Custom ROM - Cheers NRG
like previous posters, unchecking proxy works for me.
I get no problems with the settings you have in your post.
Maybe try another ROM?
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 : )
Hi guys,
I don't know where else to ask this, it has me totally stumped.
I just changed from O2 to Tesco pay monthly and I can't get my AOL and Gmail accounts to connect.
I've talked through the APN settings with Tesco but they're unable to figure it out either.
I can connect to the internet OK via a browser but my email accounts return an error when I go to inbox and send/receive:
"Cannot Connect", "Cannot connect with current connection settings, to change your conection settings, tap settings"
I've been through it many times without success.
My mail accounts are set up properly, they were working with the O2 SIM, and they connect fine and send/receive over WiFi.
Am I missing something?
(I also have 3 native SD android roms installed on the HD2, they won't even connect to the internet despite my best efforts, phone calls work fine though).
I put the Tesco SIM in an old Wildfire, and it configured correctly straight away
Spent all day googling and trying to figure this out
Help. :crying:
What was the settings they gave you ?
Was it WAP based internet .
What WM ROM are you using, do you have the HTC connection setup link in Settings>Connections as that has Tesco Mobile settings can auto install them.

Thanks for replying
APN: prepay.tesco-mobile.com
Username: tescowap
Password: password
Proxy 193.113.200.195
Port 8080
Yes, I believe it's WAP based.
Rom = 1.66.405.2 WWE
Radio = 2.15.50.14
Yes, I have the connection setup link and I've cleared/reset the database several times.
I also went into Settings>Connections>Advanced>Select Networks and removed all the previous modem settings.
I've used the database settings and also the ones sent by Tesco by text.
Tesco seem to be pretty good, their helpline operator ran through all the settings using his onscreen WM6.5 representation of the HD2's menus (I was surprised they just didn't say "not supported"), but it still doesn't work.
I'm wondering if it could be the Radio Rom, as none of my Android Roms will connect to the internet, (although WM does)
It would be a major task to hard reset, as I have some critical work apps installed and configured just right, so I don't want to do that unless there's no other choice.
If you get another providers sim to work on internet then I doubt it device or radio but rather settings as WAP & proxy is a bit of a pain.
Try the following (I hope has small variation on what you may of tried already !, be sure double check typing & make sure the modem connection has the black selection dot in it once completed; settings>connections>connections>manage existing connections. Add a new modem connection ("New" soft key). Put a appropriate name for new modem connection and choose "cellular line (GPRS)" Next enter apn address, prepay.tesco-mobile.com . Next enter username, tescowap . and password, password . Finish . Under proxy tab , tick "this network uses a proxy.." Put 193.113.200.195 in proxy server box . Tap advanced and put 193.113.200.195:8080 for the first 3 (HTTP, WAP, Secure WAP) and 193.113.200.195:1080 for the last (Socks). Exit from settings then go back in & check you can see the new modem setting & that it the checked connection option, exit again & Soft reset & fingers crossed ...
I'm using a custom WM ROM so don't be put off too much if some details seem named differently.
You may want clean out existing settings or try couple of changes in details if doesn't work :-S
Not a keen fan of your radio version but it is a well used one & I not seen internet connection issues with it but you never know ! so a radio change maybe worth a shot if really come to an end on the settings !
Hi, this is a screenshot of the settings, I think I got it right?
It still doesn't work
instead of port 8080 try 9201 !
I do remember newer builds of Magicall software caused internet connection failure, u happen to have that by any chance !
Port 9201 disables all my internet connection and email still not working
I tried 8080 again, internet back but no email.
I don't have magicall, though I wish I did sometimes
In connections advanced tab under select networks button what do you have selected for programs that automatically connect to the internet ?
Seems it actually connecting in terms of internet means you can't be far off.
Worth running through mail settings & see if anything can be adjusted to help.
Also what mail type is setup here (IMAP/POP3) & does Tesco Mobile have any limitations on mail server connections ?

AOL is IMAP4, I haven't asked Tesco Mobile if they have any specific limitations but the standard settings work fine with the SIM in a Wildfire running Android 2.2, I've gone through all the working settings on the Wildfire to see whether there's anything different there but I can't find anything, though I suppose there might be some small but important setting I've missed
I also tried to set up a gmail account on the HD2, but that doesn't work either
