i've entered all my o2 GPRS settings correctly, says connected when i tap the gprs icon.
But i have a problem when i connect to the internet, it comes up with "The page you are looking for cannot be found".
I thought it maybe because i have no credit but the homepage should load.
can anyone help?
You won't be able to download ANYTHING unless you have an active GPRS account which usually you'll have to get it turned on, Contact your network provider.
ok thanks

Upgraded from Xda II to Xda IIs end January and initially WLAN worked fine, but no GPRS. Went though process of creating GPRS connection (with O2 Support) and now cannot get IE to connect through WLAN. It always tries GPRS! Has anyone experienced this and/or got a solution?
Mike,
You will need to give us some more info on your settings.
If its an O2 unit with original firmwware if you back stuff up try a hard reset to get default settings back and ensure GPRS works then add the WLAN.
I live in Caldecote just outside Cambridge if you get really stuck we could meet up and you can try and copy my settings and check your SIM has GPRS enabled using mine that kind of thing.
Cheers Wayne
Many thanks Wayne. I'll do a backup and hard reset (with trembling hand no doubt) and see where I get to before getting back to you. Many thanks for the offer of help. I'm in Barrington, so it's not a million miles to come to talk if necessary.
you might already know this mike and if so at least it may be of help to others.
if your gprs connection is active then it doesn't matter wheather the wireless lan is on or off, internet explorer will always connect to gprs.
switch off gprs by clickiing on (in my case O2) your service providers icon and if "mobile web" is highlighted then click on it to switch it off.
Thanks, but I'd tried that and more. Eventually, as Wayne suggested, I did the dreaded hard reset and restored everything from scratch. I now have WLan working on my home LAN, but as I have such lousy GSM/GPRS coverage here I haven't yet tried to see if the GPRS side is now going to work. That's for tomorrow and where I started in the first place when I found it wasn't working! :?
Thank everyone for the suggestions.
Hello Mike
I had the same problem, and after thorough search I found the solution:
start->settings->connections -> advanced
select networks : both drop-down boxes are set to
"my work network"
This prevents the automatic gprs connections.
If you want gprs you can use the wireless manager
(start->programs->wireless manager)
and there tap the red gprs icon
In other words RTFM....

When i enable the wifi it all comes up lovely. When i go to internet explorer and open it and then go to view a web page it enables gprs. How do i stop it doing this and get it to use the wifi that I have already enabled?

Try these:
Upgrade to the 1.12 radio. Works great. OR
Turn off the GPRS radio by going turning on Flight Mode OR
Click cancel when GPRS tries to connect.
The new radio helps a lot and give you a menu of choices to connect. Look at WIKI for instructions on how to upgrade the radio. It's pretty simple if you read carefully on how to upgrade. Be sure you use the right upgrade for your version of the HTC phone.
WiFi Automatic Connect to GPRS
Hi Zippy777,
This is how I have set mine:
When the PPC picks up the new access point and asks me if it connects me to The Internet or Work - I select Work
Then I go to Start -> Settings -> Connections and click the 'Connections' icon.
Click the Advanced tab then Select Networks.
I change both drop down boxes to 'My Work Network' then click the 'Edit' button under the top drop down.
Under the Modem tab - enter the GPRS settings for your provider.
I'm with Orange so my settings are:
Name: Orange GPRS Internet
Modem: Cellular Line (GPRS)
Access Point Name: orangeinternet
Username: (Blank)
Password: (Blank)
Domain: (Blank)
This setup should use your WiFi network card when it's inserted, and connect to GPRS when the card is out.
Don't know if this is the ideal solution for you, but works for me.
Best o luck!
(btw - I use a Sandisk WiFi card with Socket Drivers & a Linksys WRT54G Broadband Modem)
All I want to do is connect via my WIFI in my XDA 2i, wirelessly to my router in my house, so I can use its internet connection? Any ideas?
Thx for your replies though its much appreciated.
connect viw wifi
we know that Zippy. You have to configure the device to connect. Have you done that? It's not configured out of the box. Do a Google search for you device, and wifi or internet or ethernet connection settings. you should get hits at this sit as well if you do that kind of search.
Hi,
I too had many frustrations connecting the wi-fi on XDA2i...but now I've cracked it, here's how .......
On first very first use, or following a hard re-set, [on/off + scriber reset] users are prompted during the process to choose “What do you want WLAN to connect to?” The option bullets are ‘Internet’ or ‘Work’….’Work’ should be selected, this will (once boot-up is complete) connect them to the nearest WLAN. If your network is WEP encrypted it should be switched to ‘Open’ mode rather than ‘shared’ as is often the case.
Next prompt asks for any WEP Encryption ‘Pass Key’ to be input, when doing so omit any ‘-‘ between character pairs, just enter a complete string of numbers and letters. Normal start-up should then be completed. Once device is up and running…..
From ‘Start’ pull-down on the ‘Today Screen’ select…. ‘settings’>’connections tab’>’connections icon’>’advanced tab’>’Select Networks’> pull-down ‘My Work Network’ > ‘OK’ out of selections to save and exit, this prevents the device from attempting to connect via GPRS.
Go to ‘Wireless Manager’ in programs, select WLAN icon from main screen (which should turn green to show active), then select mini ‘WLAN’ icon from lower toolbar to see the status of the connection, quality of signal etc.
That did it for me......
Cheers,

Yes I have done this and my signal strength is good.
when i go to ie and try to access a web page it says cannot connect, and you have no modem entries created and no network card present? Help.
:? I didn't come across this prompt...could be you need to put an O2 SIM card in the device? (or whatever card it may be locked to).
Just another thought...
Go into settings>connections>connections icon>advanced tab>select networks>Edit (My work network)>if there is an o2 'bulleted' ...click it and 'delete'
Then try IE again......
I have deleted the o2 symbol where you said and it made no difference. My xda is unlocked and I am using a vodafone simcard.
Still cant get it going though. Same message as above but have great signal strength. well odd!

Go to www.cam.com and get vxUtil this program will help to determine what is wrong with your system.
If you go to | Start (menu) | settings | Connections (tab) | Network Cards (icon) | Network Adapters (tab) | and tap on | tiacwln Compatible Wireless Etherne... | What is listed for the IP address?
Do you have this set to "Use sever-assigned IP address" It should be.
Yes its all as it should be. Like i said I have a connection and great signal strength etc etc.
But when i try to access a web page in ie its just says
unable to connect, no modem entries created and no network card present.
what can i do?
I have been trying to login Messenger Live with Wifi...but it always use gprs instead when my connection is active...
and even my gprs is on...its times out..saying that i need to find a place for better connection and so on..
but why it doesnt connect directly using wifi??
Is there a way to fix the issue? it never happen with wm5's msn
Thanks again
Mike
when the gprs bubble pops up... press cancel.
then it uses wifi. problem fixed. why it tries gprs by default i would assume is due to mobile.
once i cancel works perfect over wifi until i move out of range.
I'm using Black 2.0 and changed the connection settings to 'Work network' (settings-connections-connection-advanced-select networks-my work networks) now I dont get the annoying gprs connection trying to start, just uses the wifi I have set up. Let me know how that goes.
dear all...thanks for the great help
falum...i did ur setup and i dont have the gprs pop up again...many thanks
but the other issues comes in...it often say that i cannot connect..(even when i was on gprs)...do you have the same problem beforee??
Im using the live version that is cracked (no time limited) that i download from here..im really confuse to which version i should get (since some said it expired)...
if its possible...can you direct me to the thread to the correct one??
Thanks again!
Mike
hi all i need help setting up my gprs. i had a look on this post but i am still unable to get it working please help
ive got to the point where the gprs connects as it shows a little [G] above the phones signal strength along with a big [G] to the left but i cant view any internet pages plus my tacking software wont connect to the gprs. Any ideas? does anyone know if the authentication is PAP or CHAP?
If you're on Pay as you Go then make sure you've got the proxy settings set up correctly or you won't see a thing.
Settings>Connections>Connections>Edit My Proxy Server
Tick the boxes > Advanced
HTTP: 193.113.200.195:8080
WAP: 193.113.200.195:9201
Socks: 193.113.200.195:1080
It's a wap proxy so you won't get full mobile internet access. You'll be able to view most websites but it's by not the same deal you get on a contract (Quickgps and most other apps won't update properly). This is a workaround for PAYG as O2 would rather have you believe it doesn't work at all with the £7.50 a month bolt-on!
I got the pda to see webpages now i dont know why people were saying the password was password when its actually payandgo. I think as its not full access to gprs i dont think my messaging program is going to work.
I've tried these settings, but although I get the small G and it says connected, when I try to open a page, it comes up with an error saying the connection was lost. Do I need to sign up for the bolt on before it will work, or is there something else I need to check?
Hi all,
I have a Touch Pro 2 on T-Mobile in the UK.
After receiving I'd quickly gone through and set up all email accounts and was happily receiving and sending etc.
However one day it dawned on me, the emails would only receive if I was connected via wifi, if i was just using 3G it would say "error synchronising".
I checked the settings 100 times and couldn't work out the the issue, even T-Mobile themselves couldn't help.
Then one day I found what I'd gotten wrong:
Go to Emails
Accounts
highlight account - Menu Softkey
Click Account in list
Edit Account Setup
Next until you get to the E-Mail setup screen with "advanced server settings" as a link at the footer.
Click "Advanced Server Settings"
Change Network Connection from "Internet" to "T-Mobile Internet"
This may be the issue with other networks as well so if you experience the same issue take a look and make sure there's no "orange Internet" etc.
Hey presto your emails will now download via all internet means as well as Wi-Fi.
Who knows why for T-Mobile Internet is actually only wi-fi and not "the other" internet on our devices.
Hope that helps anyone else in the same situation as I was.
I have the same problem but then with my provider Hi.
After a hard reset the settings aren't loaded correctly. I've also been on the phone with the helpdesk, technical helpdesk and a lot of people who really didn't understand a whole lot about phones and they all couldn't figure it out. Touch Pro 2 settings weren't available yet.
Finally I just looked up the settings from the Touch Pro and entered those manually. This worked just fine.
But, if you set the connection to "T-Mobile Internet" instead of "The Internet", it will never use WiFi for that account.
I have a TP2 on T-Mobile and my e-mail accounts are configure to use "The Internet" and it works fine.
Even with Wi-Fi off?
Is your a branded t-mobile handset in the UK?
Hi LocoNinja
I'd be very interested to now how you've got your e-mail able to use either WiFi or the phone's GPRS/3G/HSDPA connection...
Since upgrading to WinMo6.5 (official HTC update) I've noticed that I can only connect to e-mail via WiFi if I use 'The Internet' as the connection, and only connect via GPRS/3G/HSDPA if I use 'T-Mobile Internet' as the connection...
It's bugging the h*ll out of me!
Cheers in advance
possibly a t-mobile issue, as with my vodafone branded tp2 it works fine.
For example: If wi fi is enabled, it uses that. If wi fi is disabled, it just opens a hsdpa / 3g connection and uses that.
Did the same thing on the original VF 6.1 rom and with the newer VF 6.5 rom. Also works perfectly on the custom rom i am using.
Hi dazkeirle, that's what mine used to do on WinMo 6.1... I wonder if something else I've installed has b*ggered it up
Will have a tinker and let you all know if I find anything...
**Sorted it - It was WMWiFiRouter that had messed the connection up - removed, settings changed in e-mail to 'The Internet' and everything's working fine now
Pesky WMWiFiRouter V1.50 - it messes up your display time-out time too
