VIRGIN GPRS settings

Despite all my efforts with Virgin Mobile in the UK I cannot get the correct GPRS settings. They claim their network supports GPRS.
Has anyone set it up?

virgin gprs settings
What are you settings?

Virgin GPRS
I can connect using the setting supplied on the virgin site but I cannot browse web pages - I get the page is not available message box.
I do get the small [GPRS] displayed at the top of the internet explorer bar but havent managed to view a web page or use MSN messenger over GPRS.
If any one has I'd love to know the settings please : )
Ian

It could be the same as O2, you are allowed only wap access over gprs.

GPRS on unlocked O2 XDA
Ok is anyone using a UK unlocked O2 XDA2 using a PAYG SIM (any network - dont mind) and able to browse internet and use msn messenger?
If you are please can you let me know the network and your settings? I have read most of the previous posting and have not managed to set up this up yet - surely its just me being thick and it's possible
Many thanks

Hiya
yes used both O2 and now virgin in an unlocked XDAII - at this moment trying to figure out the settings for it all but getting there - will update soon.

GPRS on unlocked O2 XDA
many thanks look forward to your reply - can you detail all the setting you are using under connections etc please?
Not too bothered about the MMS but would definately like to have web and msn working
regards
Ian

Ok here are the settings, but i am having problems - if i use the IP it doesnt connect, but if i don't it connects but i don't get any response from pages - i have noticed the xda is deleting the zeros(shown in red) - but as i gather this is normal for an IP to do this? (sysadmins advise?)

If you crack it, let me know!

Tmobile email setting (no wap?)

I upgraded to wm6 and email setting doesnt have WAP?It only has Internet or work.Anyone know how to get email and internet with WM6?

wow nobody?
nobody knows the answer?

Follow this guide to get the internet setup (t-zones), then in email try work first, if that does not work, try internet.
1. In Settings/Connections/GPRS/T-Mobile Data:
Tmobile Data Connects to: WAPNetwork
Access Point: wap.voicestream.com
2. Add a 2nd GPRS option:
T-Mobile Data 2
Connects to: Work
Access Point: wap.voicestream.com
3. Then create TWO Proxies:
Settings/Connections/Proxy
First Proxy:
Name:Tzones Proxy
Connects from: WAP Network
Connects to: The Internet
Proxy: 216.155.165.50:8080
Type: HTTP
Second Proxy:
Name Tzones Proxy 2 Connects from: Work
Connects to: The Internet
Proxy: 216.155.165.50:8080
Type: HTTP
4. In connections, click menu, then advance and set ALL connections to AUTOMATIC
5. To get the Exchange Server working:
(Exchange Server settings)
Options/Advanced
Connection: Internet
6. To get Pop mail accounts working:
(This will need to be done for each account you have)
Options/Account settings/Advanced Server Settings
Network Connection: Work
NOTE! The option to select which way to connect isn't available until you finish creating the POP account (go back in and change to: Work)
7. To get IE working:
(In Pocket Internet Explorer) Menu/Tools/Options/Connections
Check "Automatically Detect Settings"
Select Network: WAP Network
That should do it! Not all applications will work with this configuration, but Messaging (Exchange/POP3/IMAP) and Pocket Internet Explorer will work. Credits for the WM6 instructions to go http://dashapps.googlepages.com/ ! If the above instructions don't work, try completely deleting the connections and re-adding them.

wow thats funny, i had the exact same problem with my phone and tzones, and i figured out the exact same solution, cept on mine i dont need the proxy for the work connection to get the email to work and i have ie set to internet.

O2 MMS settings

Just started getting a problem with the MMS on my Serra and not sure if anyone can let me know theirs please.
Under connections/My ISP I have
Mobile Web - Cellular Line (GPRS,3G), mobile.o2.co.uk, o2web/password, DNS 193.113.200.200, Alt DNS 193.113.200.201
Mobile Web 2 - Cellular Line, mobile.o2.co.uk, o2web/password, DNS 193.113.200.200, Alt DNS 193.113.200.201
My Work Network
02 Active - Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G), wap.o2.co.uk, o2wap/password, user server specific
MMS Settings
o2uk - Gateway 193.113.200.195 port 8080, server address http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002. Connect via My ISP
Thanks

Sorry all fixed myself, my proxy settings were incorrect

What exactly was the error - I still cannot get MMS to work even with your seetings from your post?

I found out that mine was that a proxy server was enabled. I hook mine up to my laptop while in the office to charge and activesync with my Exchange server. Hadn't realised that it also enables my office proxy server.

crazyC, is the SIM in your Serra on O2 contract or Pay and Go? I'm guessing it's the former, but if it's the latter I know the settings...
Is it just MMS that's not working, or is your data connection (via telephone I mean) not working either?

It was just MMS that did not work.
I am on contract, and after a lot of digging and trialling of cabs that should have fixed it, but didn't, I have sussed it out and tested it.
I will roll the settings into my O2 setup cab, test it, and then post it if anyone wants it.

YES! Please post it.
I am using these settings on my contract o2, htc touch pro. all my 3g and internet works... just no mms.
I have sat here for four hours now messing around with it...
any chance of posting the settings that worked for you?

Try this
MMS Settings
o2uk - Gateway 193.113.200.195 port 9201, server address http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002. Connect via My Work Network
Other connections as per the normal O2 set up.
'My Work Network' shows up as O2 Active
Dont forget to set the O2MMS server as the default under MMS options

I havent tested this yet, but this cab SHOULD insert the O2 MMS settings - note you must already have the correct O2 network setup for calls and data, this is just the MMS bit.

im also having prblems with this, using the new Elite RC4. Im gunna reflash it and try again cuz i have fiddled with the settings too much
Edit - i tried the cab and the setting listed above it and neither worked for me

I have called O2 to see if they can help me and they sent me the some lame ass intruction which are exactly the same as on here... except afte you set up the o2web settings it says to use auto download for the rest :/
Whats the deal witht he proxy for the o2 active settings are they supposed to be on or off and if on, what do i set them as?

Installed the original O2 ROM to get all the settings working properly. It seems the missing details are in the WAP Proxy ones.
start - settings - connections - connection settings - manage existing under the 'my work network' (or whatever you renamed it too) - proxy (ensure use proxy is ticked) - advanced
WAP - 193.113.200.195:9201
SECURE WAP - 193.113.200.195:9203
Other than that settings are as they have been mentioned previously

MMS issues
I have extensively searched forum after forum and this seems to be the only thread with the sort of info i am searching for. I have installed TPC V3.1 Rom With required radio, everything works including MMS, however, no matter what settings i try i cannot receive normal sized pictures and any MMS videos go straight to the O2 website and all i get is a message your phone is not compatible with this type of message. Can anyone help, its really annoying............
I have tried the above .cab file and it doesn't work for me either.
Thanks in advance for any help.
O2 serra (raphael) win6.5, TPC v3.1 radio 1.14.25.05

Try some of these reg edits.

Thanks, but that is more for increasing the send size limit of mms, I can send them fine, but my network O2 cannot determine what phone I have and therefore only allows me to receive the smallest possible sized attachement.
I have tried numerous settings and radios to adjust this I've even tried the get settings feature and I get a txt back sorry we are unable to blah blah blah. with out going back to O2 stock rom i'm running out of options.......
Also I have never attemped to edit the registry
Again thank u for your reply......
EDIT......
Attempted reg edit, has had no affect, am I doing something Wrong.......?

wap problem htc diamond

hi guys, i have an unlocked sim HTC diamond (originally from SFR france),the problem is that after i have configured well my diamond to wap (proxy ip,modem access point,username and password) ,when i try to surf i do actually see the symbol G above the signal strength so it has connected but an error comes up after like a minute saying the connection was lost (no download)....is it because i have unlocked it using olinex stuff ?please help.

I Suspect you misconfigured your diamonds internet settings the connection is established but you cant connect to the isp gateway perhaps you need to use proxy. maybe your outa credit ?

NO,i am not out of credit cause it worked on my nokia pretty well.
I installed WM6.5 instead of 6.1 ,the good news is that the phone automatically
detected the WAp settings, but same problem, no download (lost connection)

Resolved.
Must have username and password for the access point and also for the wap in the proxy server.

Internet Settings help please for "Einstein Wireless"

Hi Everyone...
A few days ago I got a really good deal on a AT&T Fuze... I have long had my AT&T branded Tilt/Kaiser and had no problems using it what-so-ever. After playing with it a few days, I have done everything to it from HardSPL to rom to radio..... I have decided on NRG 's Energy.RAPHAEL.21889.StandardM2.5_27.Jan.2010 rom. This rom works great, has the features that I wanted, and looks nice too . I got the full rom which has a network setup that seemed pretty inclusive, but to no suprise, did not have mine, "Einstein Wiress" in wisconsin. I have all the settings it took to make it work on my tilt along with the "instructions" I wrote myself to make it work...
I would really appreciate it if someone who already is using their Touch Pro from Einstein could share the settings, or what I am missing. If you have an idea, please feel free to share it. Here are the "instructions".
Name for connection : EinsteinPCS Internet
access poin name : apn (case sensitive)
Usename : (leave blank)
password: (leave blank)
domain : (leave blank)
...under advanced
Use Server assigned IP address
click ok..
under proxy settings check: "this network connects to the internet"
and "this network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet"
proxy server should be :192.168.254.251
click advanced
http: 192.168.254.251:8080
wap: 192.168.254.251:9201
secure wap: 192.168.254.251:9201
socks (blank)
For MMS... go into MMS Options... goto servers.. set these settings :
Server Name : Einstein Wireless MMS
Gateway : 192.168.254.251
Port # : 9201
Server Address : httP//www.einsteinmms.com\+1(your 10 digit # here)
Connect via : EinsteinPCS Internet
I hope this is enough.. Right now it now it show the "E" for Edge... (Einstein is a GPRS/Edge company, no 3G)// When I try to run a program ir "connects" and shows by the signal strength meter that I am connected... but every program gets nothing.. The weather, QuickGRPS, internet browsing, etc... All of these same programs are confirmed working with WiFi. I made sure everything is set to connect to the internet using "Einstein Wireless"... I have tried both transparent and non-transparent connections (I never had that option before) & I beleive I have tried all 3 of the the 9600 protocals in the advance settings... My tilt was set to chap (like AT&T)... If you have any questions feel free to ask...
Thank you in advance,
Teej

Ok Everyone!
After erasing all the internet settings again for the 5th time... I inputted everything in, made sure that 3G/UPSD options turned off, it seems to be working this time.. No idea what I did diffrent this time than all the others, but it works.. That is what matters... Thank you to all those who offered help via PM or in the forums...
