Hi guys new here found this site after upgrading on O2 from an aging Sony Ericsson P900 to my first ever WM5 device. £50 on £25 12 month contract
So far I think its absolutely great no probs what so ever
Just one thing, Ive been trying to get it to access the O2 Active Wap site but it always ends up going to the html version (pda.o2.co.uk), Ive tried looking around googling for answers some say pocket IE doesnt do wap and some say it does if you set it up properly.
This is where the Connection tab comes into it, Ive read to go to Settings>Connections>Connections> Manage exsiting connections and in there set up the proxy but all I see are two tabs; Tasks and Advance........no Proxy settings tab to be seen??
Any advice, Thanks in advance
First question has to be... why bother with wap when you have access to www?
PIE does support wap, you just need to use wsp://xxxxx instead of http://xxxxx
But, I'm pretty sure none of the WM5 Xda's are supported by the O2 active wap site. So even if you can get on there you won't be able to do the things you can on a standard phone, like download ringtones etc.
The preconfigured O2 setting should be fine for accessing wap if you really want to (the connection is only there to use MMS). You don't need to change the proxy settings.
Thanks for the reply, I managed to discover how to get the proxy setting up, I had to change the select network to connect to internet using My Work rather than My ISP before it would come up in the Tasks tab
Just wanted to try to get the wap version of the site for the content, sport, tfl tube news, competitions etc. Tried wsp:// still comes up with the crappy pda version with all the ITN crap.
I would use the full http versions on GPRS if O2 had a decent enough data package, Im still getting over the fact its no longer free after 3 yrs of non charging
Anyone know how to get it to say emulate a non pda phone?

Hi,
I'm writing some software that needs to send data over the internet using GPRS.
The problem we've had in the past is that users of our software would play with the gprs connections settings or fire up the wap browser or something and that would prevent our software from connecting properly.
What I'd like to be able to do is manually connect to gprs from within our program but specify our own settings for GPRS rather than leaving it up to the connection manager.
I've been exploring TAPI and the lineXXXX functions, but I get the feeling this is a dead end....
If it makes a difference, our original software was written for the XDA1 but I'm writing the replacement for the XDA2 and have access to all the new fancy stuff in PPC 2003
Cheers in advance for any help you can give,

Picked up a softbank X01HT today, my first WM device. It was lots of fun upgrading the Rom to Schaps 4.01 and getting bbconnect 4.0.0.91 working. Everything is great and this appears to be the device of my dreams!
One thing I've noticed though is that if I'm plugged into the USB to charge and activesync enables, the bbconnect service is blocked... likewise if I use the internet.
Any advice if these two scenarios can be overcome?
Thanks for a great community and awesome info!
You can't bypass it while utilizing activesync. As for the internet you have to use the browser that installs when you first initialize blackberry connect otherwise all other browsers will use your internet settings rather than the blackberry connect ipn. You may be able to configure it so that other applications use the bb ipn but since I no longer have my hermes I don't recall if you can. Maybe someone that has bbconnect with their hermes can chime in.
most, if not all carriers seem to not like multiple APNs running although WM6 can handle it.
What is happening is you are not using ActiveSync to surf, rather your mobile network, which shuts down the BN APN for your standard internet
The only time I am able to use both BBConnect and IE is when I am connected to WiFi. Somehow, WM6 establishes connection to WiFi access point and yet BBConnect is still connected to the BB APN.
Strangely I suddenly cannot access the internet at all, is there a way to force the browser to use my Rogers GPRS connection to access the web instead of the BB apn? It is staying on now even when I try and access the internet. Thanks!
Actually I figured it out. If I use the default browser in WM6 it goes nowhere but if I use the Internet Browser in the blackberry program folders I'm fine on the BB apn.
Hi Chaps,
I have an o2 xda iis, which I've cherished for many years. A few months ago I managed to upgrade it's original, awful buggy software to wm6.5 which has thankfully put an end to the constant crashing but it has also created a few new problems I was hoping to get some help with.
1) MMS has dissapeared from the messaging menu. I can't send, receive as it's just not there anymore!
2) Wifi connects to my network, assigns an IP but when I open IE (or any other browser), the browser closes immediately. GPRS works fine.
device data :
WM 6.5 CE OS 5.2.21139
wm6.5pro_QVGA HT4.20
ROM DATE 01/01/09
Radio version 1.06.00
Protocol 1337.38
extrom : black kernel
welcome to the forum!
1. mms is not a feature, that is built into the os by standard, it is an add-on application called arcsoft mms, that enables the account in messaging and gives you back the possibility to send, receive and set the mms again. you can find it in the iolite stuff thread, and since you are new, here's the link: -=the link=-
you will find the download link listed under 01.10.2008
2. that is odd!
-would the internet explorer stay open, when you have no data connection at all?
then you could enable the wi-fi afterwards.
-alternatively, do you get a real ip, when connecting to your wi-fi?
a real ip would be something like 192.168.x.x or 10.0.x.x in contrast to 169.254.x.x, which means, the devices uses dhcp and demands an ip from your access point, but is not assigned one, either because there is no dhcp server or 802.1x authentication failed or there is a MAC filter or the network is 54Mbit only, wpa2 or wpa-aes.
that would mean, that you have a corrupt wireless connection and no data traffic would work anyways. in that case make sure, your router is set up right, that a device that can only handle up to wlan-b, wpa-psk could access it and try a static ip in your network.
still i think it is strange, since under no circumstances the IE should crash, with or without a conection. maybe you want to try another IE version or an entirely different rom, if you can's fix that.
with best regards,
Chef_Tony
Wow thanks for the quick response.
I wasn't aware MMS isn't a standard feature. I'll look into that asap! Thanks! I feel educated.
As for the WIFI not working, I think it's something to do with the Sun Dream rom i'm using. I had read some of the 100+ pages (ugh!) and realised I was sposed to install IE8 after the ROM. This seems to have fixed whatever was wrong. Seems weird to me!
ok. maybe that is why that issue is so weird. since you are using wm6.5 i was assuming you also used the new internet explorer. but also, you wrote "(or any other browser)" in your first post and since not all the browsers are based on IE (some are) i thought, if you had the same issue there, it couldn't be related to IE but must be something with the conection itself.
Hi guys,
as said, i try to use my TP2 as a router, via my T-mo connection. I have an unlimited dataplan, and flashed the EngeryROM from Warhawk i guess.
Here is my Problem:
I can't access certain sites while using my TP as a router, and what annoys me the most is, that i cant run icq or steam on my laptop, using the TP...
Altough, icq runs on my TP.
Is this a port problem, or is it because T-mo blocks it?
Or any other idea?
Any help would be appreciated
I can't imagine that they'd block it. I'm not entirely up to speed on using the phone as a router, is it possible that the ports are blocked? Does the phone have an interface you can connect to similar to that of a traditional router? (IE tether your phone to your computer, once connected run an ipconfig and then type the address of the default gateway into your browser and see if there's an interface?) I might be way off base with that, though.
As an aside - I'm not sure what T-mobile's deal is with "unlimited" data plans. If it's anything like AT&T then once you cross that 5GB line you'll probably be on watch (from what I've gathered online), so you might want to look into that if it is your intention to pull a lot of data downstream from the likes of steam.
not familiar with t-mobile's data connection/setup but maybe its a proxy issue? try disabling the proxy if there is one and see if that helps.
I am using Energy Rom on my Tilt2 but I am on ATT
I had exactly the same issue.
Basically I had to disable proxy (which is a trick to get it to stick)
and switch to a different APN
I know it may not help but the default AT&T apn is wap.cingular
I use isp.cingular which supports direct connection without a proxy.
I am not sure how TMO does it's connections, but this may point you in the correct direction.
I guess its the proxy, cause i definitely know, that it's not volume limited.
Can anyone link me a tutorial or describe me how i can change that proxy or whatever, cause i'm really a noob when it comes to this...
The TP2 is my first WinMo device, so i ain't that experienced yet...
If you start WiFi Router, is there a choice for the internet connection in the lower area? I remember that I had several preconfiguratet connections on my MDA V when I got it from T-mobile. Maybe you can choose another connection there and it works. Did EnergyROM automatically set up your connections after flashing? Maybe you try these settings:
Name (Profilname): T-Mobile Internet
APN (Zugangspunkt): internet.t-d1.de
Benutzername: internet
Password: t-d1
DNS-Adresse: 193.254.160.001
IP- / Proxy- / Gateway-Port: 9201
Verbindungssicherheit: aus
GPRS-Ablaufzeit 2 Minuten
hey, tried out your settings, they seem to work, but i still cant connect with steam and icq -.-
i can only select the t-mobile internet connection in the wifi-router.
aaaaand i cant find the field where to enter this gateway port stuff you wrote.
Hope this links hel you:

Nope, still not working. These tuts just show how to establish a connection, but i already got one. The problem is, that i can only access the internet via browser
No steam, icq, skype or else, which is pretty annoying, cause i don't want to pay an extra 25 euros for a surf stick by tmo...
I work for a faily large UK company and im trying to setup an HTC Touch Pro 2 (Unbranded on BT-Mobile). I have managed to get everything setup as i want including a VPN connection to my works internal network. Currently this requires having 2 network connections setup in the settings of this device... one for GPRS and one for "My Work Network" which automatically connects when required. Now the only problem im having is users can browse on these devices unrestricted however our PCs all require browsing is done through a proxy. I have tried every possibly setup on this device to route traffic through our proxy server but i have had no luck.
Has anyone managed to set this up?
Is it even possible as they wouldnt be connected to the VPN while browsing via GPRS?
Any hints/tips?
Im really loosing my mind with this one.
Thanks in advance!
bump, no ideas anyone?
it is very easy go to setup and connection ,, and than again connection,, that down u will find general, modem, vpn,, hope u can make inside other details
