MDA Vario II on O2Pay and Go no MMS/WAP Help!!!

[TaRkA]

I recently bought a MDA Vario II off Ebay, works great, when I got it I unlocked it and hard reset then clicked cancel so none of the Tmobile shit is installed. This is a wm5 phone on o2 pay and go.

The problem I am having is I cant use gprs, wap or use mms's.

Ive tried using all these sites (plus more) to no avail:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299023

Ive tried installing the o2 cabs that you can find through the last link, none work. Ive checked, and double checked all settings for getting wap but it doesn't work. I cant receive email or go online.

One annoying thing, when I go into my messages folder and click on menu there is nothing I can click on to add mms settings! Argh!!

Has anyone experienced this before or know how to fix it? Recon upgrading to a cooked wm6 rom might bring it back, or a hard reset and installing the tmobile crap will work?

Cheers, T

There's a whole load of CABs for Operator settings on the Wiki - see here (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_provider_cabs) - scroll down to the O2 cab in the UK section.

Now, what I'm not sure of is whether the settings for PAYG are different to those for contract phones; however, given your lack of success so far, it won't hurt to try :)

EDIT: Read posts 1 & 6 (specifically) in this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=275821&highlight=o2+uk+payg+settings) for a load more info re: O2 PAYG settings :D

Hope this helps,

Mark.

Id tried the first one already, second one was new to me.

I installed it and nothing worked, so I changed the settings to pay and go, still doesn't work. The option for using MMS's hasn't even appeared!

I'm actually getting fucking fed up with o2 now :)

I even read that they wont allow mobile internet fully... thats bull!

If anyone has any other suggestions that would great, otherwise Im gonna switch providers. Probably to 3 or t-mobile.

oops, double post

Try the attached cab, install it, soft reset, then you should get a 'connection setup' option in the connections control panel.

It should detect your carrier and automatically set everything up :D

Installed and it seems to have installed everything for contact o2. I tried changing all the settings it did to payandgo but when I try and access the web, ie, google.co.uk it displays that it is connected but internet explorer has a pop up that says 'the page cannot be displayed or downloaded because the connection was lost'.

But when I try and access wsp://wap.o2.co.uk I get an error from the 'G' symbol at the top saying 'cannot connect for an unknown reason'.

I have checked and double checked the settings and nothing is working :/ still no option for MMS either :/

Think I will try and hard reset and reinstall all the t-mobile shite... see what happens.

Haha! Got it working!

I did a hard reset and let it install all the t-mobile shite. Then changed all the t-mobile internet settings to o2 ones and it works!

Fucking strange considering its the exact same settings I had used a hundred times before. The t-mobile rom must have a registry setting or something.

The MMS options have even appeared now, should just have to tweak the settings to get it working!

Cheers for the help anyway guys!
