Hi
Finally got round to noting down a few issues that are really bugging me, and I'm sure there's someone reading that can show me what's going on:
1. Receive an MMS....I open it, then press the download button, then wait....and nothin happens?? Why??
2. I still have not been able to get onto the Internet through GPRS ...I feel this may be connected with the above. What should I do?
3. No attachments will open on my XDA2s. Why?
I know these issues must be fairly simple to some of you, but I am not as technically minded as some and have no problem in asking for help, so, help!!
thanks

At a suggestion - has your phone contract company turned on GPRS on your account??
looks to me like you GPRS service is inactive or...
the connection properties of the phone aint set right.
Good old O2 do seem quite good at setting up people with the wrong type of GPRS! Make sure U have mobile web set.
The options within your email account settings should allow you to select whether to dowload attachments. Otherwise it should just be a case of "edit-mark for download", although your current issues may be related to the above.
Attachment not synching
I deleted database pmailAttachs and it helps :

Can you tell me where is the file?
My problems is after selecting a file to attach, it prompted the error message I mentioned earlier that no files could be attached at all. The files cannot be viewed under your device's File Explorer. But if you explore your device from the PC, you'll see an additional folder called Databases where you cannot add/edit/delete. I had to download a tool called Pocket dbExplorer.

I had my phone set up for Cingular in the US and had trouble also. on the www.imate.com site, I found a download area to configure your phone GPRS to your country. For me it was Cingular USA. It worked perfectly!

Anyone know how to turn the GPRS off so that it never comes on?
What you need is this ......... creates an icon called No Data, with it you can toggle on and off your GPRS, I've been using for a while and it is excellent, stops GPRS connections altogether until you want it...
Activesync it somewhere on your orbit and then click on it within File Explorer
Ah! Stew! Saviour! A million thanks... exactly what I was looking for...
Why?
Hi
Why turn GPS totally off? does it use more battery when your not using it?
MicTh
Hi there MicTh...
I'm with O2 and their data tarrifs are somewhat expensive.
I use wifi a lot so don't need GPRS. There has been the odd occasion where I've lost wifi signal and the phone started connecting with GPRS...
The above program put a stop to this!
SG
Ohhh.. stupid me :O)
I thought u were talkin about turning GPS off.... My bad
thanks i have also been looking for app like this

This can be done easily by:
Settings->Connections->Connections->Advanced->Select Networks->(in the first ComboBox) select "My Work Network" and click OK
No GPRS does it much simpler, simply toggling between on and off....GPRS can sometimes connect on demand, the phones demand not yours when receiving messages or when Quick GOS has become outdated, NO GPRS is the simplest solution I've found.......
Thanks - I've installed this - one question
I have disabled Mobile Web and O2 Active
Will I still receive MMS messages ???

No, MMS is sent and received over O2 Active which is WAP.
where do i copy files to
im new to orbit could you tell me where i place the files please
Copy it to you memory card and run the program. It will install itself.
thanks
thanks for your help ive got it sorted
now ive installed it and i click on the nodata icon it shows gprs as deactivated but if im usin wifii it says connecting to gprs is that normal or have i done something wrong.
also if it says connecting to gprs while nodata is installed does it still run up the bill,orbit is all new to me so im still trying to find my way around it im used to normal phone.
Hi,
just a question on this wifi-gprs. Is there a way to include a priority on one of the two?
I would like my phone to connect through wifi is it finds free or known connections, otherwise it should use wifi.
Anybody know of a setting to get this done?
Patrick
I have a Hermes and I can stop my GPRS connection instantly.
Please try this (also on other HTC models)...
When you still have a GPRS connection press and hold down the hangup button for 3 to 6 secs. (the red phone you use the end a phonecall) until the little GPRS icon disappears.
GPRS as a service will stay available.
Hi.
I'm sorry but I am having a noobie moment.
I have transferred the 3 NOGPRS files into My Music (cos I couldn't think of anywhere else to put it) and clicked on the "setup" file which opens revealing lines of code. But that's it, how do I install it? Where do I find the icon?
Sorry, this might seem basic to you but it is very complicated and difficult to understand for me.

u went one step too far.
just extract the NOGPRS.cab to your device,
then take your device and click on the .cab file!

ever since i have upgraded to Ricky's 6.1, i can no longer access T-Zones. there is no icon for it on the start menu and the t-zone button opens Celetask. i used the "Connection Setup", but get an error message that my Internet is not set up correctly when i try to open a page. at other times i receive a message that the page cannot be displayed because the connection was lost. what am i missing? is there a direct url to T-Zones? thanks.
create a new gprs connection...
you've gotta go into your connections setting and manually create a new gprs connection and enter your gprs settings...call t mobile and ask for their data/blackberry support section, or just log into t-mobile.com for the settings you need...i just did this after going to rickys 6.1 on t mob, no prob...and [email protected] tzones by the way...opera mini 4.1 beta try it...mini.opera.com

yeah, i hear you. i tried the T-Mobile help, and they wanted me to hard boot the phone. i felt kinda sketchy, too, because it has a modified version of 6.1 and i didn't know if they would tell me to get lost since it wasn't "T-Mobile" approved. i tried these settings, too, and they didn't help. is this where you went for the programming instructions?

i just wanted to try and sign up for the $5.99/month plan. thanks.

Ohh yeah I forgot about that. I am a Canadian Rogers user and the connection setup app doesn't support my setting so I am used to doing it for myself.

Well opera and opera mini are different. If you want opera you could go to Mikeys page and download it there http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=a1e428ed720bdf418c9e7c56ba37815f8d6dc55236f5978e
or download Opera Mini at the above link, I have not seen a hack yet for opera mini but I am sure it is around if you look hard enough.

i'll try that. thanks. i'm sure it is Opera Mini that 6.1 (Ricky's ROM) is trying to install. i'll try the link you posted, though.
Hay guys I'm new here so please forgive me if this has already been addressed but I could not find anything on this matter . I'm trying to get full web access with t-zones using the settings on the Dash Wiki and can't seem to get it to work . Does this work around still work ? Or am I just doing something wrong ? Thanks in advance for you help .
Use the search feature at the top right of the forum. It will help you find what you are looking for.....
Too many of these threads already floating around, searchig would be more proper.
Still workin just fine for me, as stated above hit search for some step by steps...That question has prolly been asked as much as God is asked "why...?".

Thanks for the reply bro . Thats the instructions I've be trying to use to no avail sofar . I'll give it a shot again and see if I can't get it working. Thanks again
I wonder if T-Mobile has started to turn it off...?
I know that T-Zones works for me here in Boulder, CO. If I drive down to Denver, though, it doesn't work anymore. I haven't tested any place else yet (since I haven't been anywhere else lately, lol), but I'm already starting to wonder if it's going away...

Change your phone on the site to a V3 RAZR or the like.. The option should pop up then to use T-zones.
ah, good idea. i'll give that a try! thanks

it sometimes taks 24-48 hours for the provisioning of those services to take effect
i made the changes on thursday i think! very odd.
I've downloaded and installed the trial for wmIRC and it's working fine over WIFI on my HTC S621, but I can't get it to work over GPRS\EDGE ? I can use IE and Opera Mini without the WIFI.
Any ideas of what I can try, or are there other Windows Mobile Smartphone Standard IRC clients I could try?
Thank you,
Tim

make sure you start an edge connection before trying to log onto irc. i use wmirc daily and works through either connection. just open a browser and go to a website to initiate the data connection (for some reason wmirc will initiate *sometimes* and not others) then open irc and just hit connect. may take a sec to go through the ident and ****...but it gets there...

I've tried that, no luck. I don't have the ident option checked, but I never need it for WIFI. I'm just wondering if it's my carrier, Suncom blocking it. It's just strange to me that my email, IE, mini-opera, etc. works. But not this.
I'm looking now to see if I can find a way to link (or echo) messages over to an instant messenger ID. Because I know that I can get Palringo or some other IM client to work.

I wasnt so much talking about enabling indent..i was just talking about when you connect to the server and i queries the client..
what version of wmirc is it?
This probably doesn't help much but I have it working fine on another device over CDMA.
Honestly, prepare to be disappointed though. Its a very buggy program. The user lists tend to disappear, sometimes a new pm opens and switching from one to the next shows the same messages, and it randomly completely crashes.
There's also zsIRC at zsirc.com. However, this is many written for WM Pro, so there's a lot of things that you can't do if you don't have a touchscreen (also, you can't install the .cab on WM Standard and need to use the .exe installer.)
i agree. but for smartphone its really the only one that works. ive tried 3. wmirc, jirc and some other one that i cant remember.
as far as just chattin in a channel, its fine. ive had it up with no disconnects on the edge network for 8 hours. with wifi i have left on for days and it never crashed or disconnected. yea the user list is a little retarded, but thats a non issue for me. you can still use basic commands like /whois . i dont think its ever going to get better than this though. as far as i know, no one else is developing a new client.
so i guess just pick the lesser poison..if you want to run it through java (which i couldnt stand) try out jirc.
shoot me a pm and let me know what version you have. i will probably just give you a link to my site and you can try the one i have because i know it works. im running 6.1 rickys v. 24
I'm just using the standard 2.2 from the wmirc.com site.
