i have just got back in, and it WORKS, :D i have a xda on o2, i have unlocked my 02 xda with the software on this website, it is really good. But the settings on this website for the gprs none of them would work. I had an Orange pay monthly sim card with gprs enabled which, when i unlocked my xda, i couldn't establish a connection with gprs so here goes; here are the settings you need:

on the xda today screen
go on (start)
(settings)
(connections)
(connections)
on the,( when needed,automatically connect to the internet using these settings:)
drop the menu don and tap (new)
and write (orangegprs)
tap (next)
on the (select a modem)
drop the menu don and tap (oncellular line gprs)
drop the menu don and tap (baud rate) and tap (19200)
and tap next
access point name (orangeinternet) and tap finish
go back to (connections)
and tap (dialing lacations) tap dialing patterms change all the settings to G
tap (ok)
on connections tap modify orangegprs
tap modem tap orangegprs,tap advanced,
tap use name servers, tap use specific server address,
in dns 158.043.192.001
in alt dns 158.043.128.001
in wins leave it as 0
in alt wins leave it as 0
tap ok
tap next
tap finish
tap ok
that's it, you're done, but it's important when you connect to the internet, you must go from the today screen - start - settings - connections - connections (again) - and connect. Once you have connected to the gprs, then launch internet explorer.
If you don't do it this way, the 02 software wants to change all your connection settings back to 02.

Hope this helps you all out.

Please give me feedback :D

HI dave,

I was just going to post a message asking if someone had grps settings for orange in the UK !!!!!

just like you , i had an o2 xda which i unlocked using the fab tools by xda-developers.

i will get gprs enabled on my sim and then try your settings.
You are saying that, once configured, i cant just click on IE to launch the gprs ?


thanks mate

HI Mate
WhenI got the GPRS working with the settings I have posted, when I clicked on ie, without connecting to the GPRS first the settings change back to the o2 settings. How I connect is to go to start, settings, connections and connections again and then connect, then the GPRS will connect then I launch ie. Since then I removed from the xda the o2 smart menu from the add and remove programmes now I can just launch ie and I have no problems, at the beginning when I put the settings in and I was having trouble with the o2 settings taking over, for some reason I can't understand the orange settings were all still correct but would not work so even though the settings were still there and correct I had to start re entering them as a new connections all over again. Hope this helps you out, if you have any trouble please post a message on here and I will be more than willing to hepl you.
cheers Dave :D

Hi dave,
thanks for your posts.

i can now tell you my findings.

firstly, i created a new connection with the apn "orangeinternet"
using cellular gprs as the line and 19200 as the speed.

If i click on ie.... it connects first time !!!.. works a treat !
if i click on internet on the O2 smart menu, it tries to connect back to O2....
so quick solution, just remove it from the main screen and your laughing!

so mine is all working without specifying any dns settings. Perhaps its all dhcp , with ip / gateway / dns all coming down from orange?

do you think it will make any difference adding them in?
perhaps faster name resoultion?

cheers dave

[vecomm]

Hi,

I'm a bit of a newbie with the XDA, Ive setup as per the instructions above and I'm connecting ok (i think) - as i can send retrieve emails and surf - I'm just a little unsure as to whether it's connecting via GPRS or just by a data call as I dont get the "G" on the screen to signify GPRS - can anyone help please

Cheers

Hi, i have this sorted now. you create a new internet connection and use the gprs setting from the dropdown, the only setting you need is the accesspoint name which id payginternet, all other settings are default... even the orange phone trainers couldnt get it working.

MANY THANKS TO YOU ALL. NOT EVEN ORANGE KNOWS HOW TO DO THESE SETTINGS.

I need HELP !!!

I have tried to follow various updates here to connect my O2 XDA via GPRS to ORANGE UK. It have the PPC2003 Cooked ROM and hence none of the above instructions are quite what I see.
However all I had to do was:
start -> settings -> connections -> connections --> created a connection called ORANGE with modem type "Cellular Line (GPRS) -> Next -> "ACCESS POINT NAME" typed: "orangeinternet"

Afterthis do NOT fill in anything for userid or password and just select FINISH.

I also had to: Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Connections -> select ADVANCED tab -> "Select Location" button -> select Mobile and press Edit button -> Select DIALING PATTERNS button -> For ALL entries select "G" instead of the default "+EFG".

With all above done I CAN connect to internet and even connected to my ISP WEBMAIL but it is slow. I also do NOT get the "G" icon for GPRS.

I am not sure if this is conecting via GPRS or NOT ???
when I type WWW.ORANGE.NET it does say it is connecting via GPRS but I do not see the "G" icon. Any help ???

Also I just signed up for ORANGE UK EMAIL and then tried to via orange.net instruction to configure my XDA inbox but they only recognise a small number of PDAa with PPC2003 connected to a phone via bluetooth or IRD. They do not support PPC 2003 or XDA.

HOW Do you configure the XDA inbox to connect to orange pop3 and smpt server and download mail ???

PS: I can ping SMTPOUT.ORANGE.NET but no pop3 server...

Thanks for any help. :!:

I just figure out what to do to get connected to Orange email.

Simply: start -> Inbox -> Accounts -> New Account -> Type in your Orange EMail Address -> Type in your USERNAME and PASSWORD and select "Save password" -> NEXT -> FINISHED.

That is it. I can connect to internet and email via my INBOX and WEBMAIL.

WEBMAIL is slow but inbox is just OK on the move.
