3G connectivity plz help!

[serjay]

Those of you who are using 3G on your Uni, can you please check your settings and let me know what do I need to do in order to set up my 3G connectivity please!

I already have the following:

APN
IP Address
2 DSNs

however when I enter this information it doesn't seem to connect perhaps I'm doing something wrong.

I do have a data plan (3G) so that is not an issue which I am currently using with my iphone without any problems.

Thank you very much for your help!

Hi serjay,
Sorry for the wait I have only just come across your message. Here are the setting you need. I hope they work for you?


You can input all the settings, but I can't seem to be able to access the 3 portal.

In settings, connections tab, connections
advanced tab, select networks
new, and input the relevant info from here:

Data accounts: Create one called 3 GPRS.
APN: three.co.uk
Username:
Password:
Login request: Off
Allow calls: Automatic
IP address:
DNS address:
Authentication: Normal
Data compression: Off
Header compression: Off



MMS settings can be entered via outlook menu

gateway: http://mms.um.three.co.uk:10021/mmsc
proxy: 217.171.192.2
port: 8799

(account is the 3UK avvount above)

Not sure if u need to input the Video gateway.

If anyone know how to actually open the portal, plz help,
I think the problem is that the page detects what device you are using, and an exec is not on their list

secondly - use the http://mobile.three.co.uk/hb/7600/HutchKey as access to the portal - just make it your homepage. this one is for nokia, it works with me.


For those who won´t get the 3Zone to work, try the following:

Using a registry editor, find the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent
then edit the default value to "Nokia6680"

reset

and then surf to the 3Zone Homepage for a nokia 6680 (ask someone who has one to find the url out)

3 Reads the "User Agent" String of the browser yourphone uses to find out which phone you have.

With the trick above you configure the Pocket Internet Explorer of your universal to convince three it is indeed a nokia6680.

So normally you only get phones to work which three has in it´s program.

Regards
Michael.

Renamed connections to “3G”
Selected a modem: Cellular line (GPRS, 3G)

Entered Access point name:
Next
Entered User name, and password
Clicked Advanced
Selected “Use specific IP address” and entered the IP
Servers Tab
Selected “Use specific server address” and entered both the DSN and Alt DSN

However I still can’t connect!!!

Please if you can provide further direction; hopefully I’ve done something wrong…

Hi serjay,
Sorry for the wait I have been on short break to Kent so I have not managed to come back to you.

All I can think of when I did it on mine was I left Username and Password blank and the IP adress as well.

I am sorry I can not help you any further because I use a Nokia N95 as my mane phone now and not the PDA.

[serjay]

thank you Michael for your help thus far, I guess I'll keep on trying.

Thank you..

It worked! I left the username, pass and ip address blank and it worked!! thank you very much!

However 3G on Uni is 5 times slower than on the iphone... a shame!

Well, you have to notice the Uni is 4 years older than Iphone, so.... it´s no too bad. Remember when Uni came out no other device can do all that Uni!!

Uni it´s like the grandpa of all the new devices, so we have it some respect as even some of the today devices are not as good as UNI
