Hi all,
I've checked out the forums but can't find a direct answer to this, and I'm sorry if it has been discussed before.
I bought an XDAII whilst I was in Malaysia, and now having returned to the UK I find that GPRS and various other phone components won't work correctly (I have checked the settings and just can't enter all of the correct settings provided by my service provider Vodafone).
My questions are:
1. Does anyone know how to correctly set the GPRS settings for a UK network on an XDA from the far east?
2. Would applying a UK XDA software upgrade solve the issue or are there differences in the hardware in different parts of the world.
3. Can the UK upgrade be succesfully applied to an Asian XDA, or will it (as I fear) render the phone useless?
Many thanks for the help.
Rory
Yes you can do that , I already have XDAII from Malaysia and i upgrade it to O2 UK ROM the new ver.
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Thanks 'pqft'.
Do you have any problems connecting to GPRS for email and MMS? I am with Vodafone, and can connect for internet exploring, but cannot send or receive emails, no MMS messages. Any ideas?
Thanks
Rory
did you put in all the settings for pop3
and for mms ?
I have a malaysian vers too,and MMS and Email work perfectly with my Italian provider...but i'm unable to upgrade my phone with the O2uk new rom, i get a COUNTRY ERROR CODE.
Any hint?
Now that it is easier to unlock these could anyone please tell me the vodafone gprs settings that they have found to work. Vodafone themselves only offer settings for the XDA and will not officially support the phone.
Thanks
p.s. for a contract phone UK not a pay as you go.
Here's what I got to work:
GPRS - using My ISP Setting:
Cellular Line
AP name - internet
User/Password: web/web
In advanced set the servers and DNS to auto.
Voicemail:
121
SMS Centre Number:
+447785016005
MMS:
Server name: vodafone
Gateway: 212.183.137.12
Port: 9201
Server address: http://mms.vodafone.co.uk/servlets/mms
Hope that help - and if anyone knows that any of the above are incorrect pllease let me know as I trawled the forum and various private web sites for them....
Cheers - Rich
Thanks I will try that, although I was told to use for GPRS 'Cellular Line GPRS' but will try your settings first.
Yeah - you are right - me trying to type too fast
R
or if you are lazy like me just run this cab file on your 2s
applecom - this cab installs all the correct settings just like that????
FANTASTIC!!
R
thats it no effort install thats what i like.
i do have more of them for different networks, and different settings for contract or pre-pay. (thats if they are different)
John
Cool...
Can you confirm that the settings I have above are correct then.. Does your cab do everything - mms, gprs, sms etc etc?
R
sms.. message centre number should be in the sim and is not part of the cabs
it will set the GPRS up and a seperate MMS AP if needed (again depending on the network)
these are not cab files i have made they are from imate and for the PDA2k
i use them all the time for XDA, XDA2 XDA2s/i etc etc
John

Hi Applecom
I am looking for Virgin & Vodafone PAYG settings please. Could you tell us where you got them from?
Thanks in advance
They come from the club imate site..
John
Hi John,
Thank you very much for answering so quickly. Could I ask one more favour. I have a friend who has the SPV C500 and is looking for the Virgin setting for his phone? I am not sure if I should give the file you gave me to him or if he requires another file specific to the phone?
Appreciate you help.
i would think the best thing is for you to install the virgin cab on your xda then look at the conections it makes, then use this info to set up the c500, then just run the voda cab on your xda to put it back to how you wont it
John
Sorry is is possible to get the Orange PAYG settings?
Thanks in advance. Will not trouble you with anymore.
Cheers
orange PAYG

Once again John, thank you very much for your kind help.
I live on a border between three states (Slovenia, Italy and Croatia).
I cross the borders many times.
Would be nice to have an option that my phone automatically change on my home mobile operator as soon as the phone detect it!!!
The problem is for example that if I come back from Italy it doesn't change when I know that you already should have the Slovenian operator (my home operator) but only when it loose the signal of the italian one. Only at that moment it changes to the home one.
Any advice?!
Thanks

Hi,
My girlfriend recently ordered a HTC desire 820, which finally arrived yesterday. I was a little concerned when I noticed all manuals and quick start guide etc was printed in Chinese. Started up the phone - also default language was Chinese.
After setting up and inserting her old Orange SIM card her signal is always showing as with the small "R" for roaming. The Cell towers she connects to reports as EE since EE now owns Orange and t-mobile. but HTC recognises the SIM as Orange.
I've tried manually selecting the network to Orange which removed the roaming for about 30 seconds or less. I gave up and went to bed at this point as it was already time consuming as she did the usual forget every password possible along the way trick! I woke up this morning and asked her to try setting it to 3G only mode, but apparently this didn't help.
I thought perhaps I could flash a new UK CSC to the phone and this would somehow fix the Roaming issue? If this is correct, where can I get the correct CSC for EU/GB? Current firmware version is 1.20.707.2.
Any help is appreciated!
Setup:
sim: O2 - UK
e-sim: Orange - PL
I'm currently in Poland
Everything has been working fine until some 3 days ago. Since then:
O2 UK is showing as fully properly connected to a local network (roaming)
I can receive and send text messages via O2 UK (roaming)
Nobody can call me on my O2 UK number
I cannot make calls using the O2 UK number (I'm getting "the service you are trying to use is not available for this number" - in Polish and English, so presumably from the Polish roaming operator)
The O2 UK simcard has no issues in my old Oneplus mobile phone (it does take some 10min to work fully), so I know that roaming works. O2 have also confirmed that the roaming is unrestricted for me and they see no issues on their side.
I have tried manually selecting the network with little success (it keeps disconnecting and then switching back to automated selection).
Any ideas or similar experiences? :-/
Try forcing it to use hspa network, disable volte, etc.
