Problem with o2 UK GPRS

HI there

i have an problem with my GPRS on XDA 2,

the problem is i can't access internet on my XDA2. i have the following setting

APN: payandgo.o2.co.uk

username: payandgo

password: password

wap field setting in proxy server 193.113.200.195 @ 9201 port

if i open pda.o2.co.uk wesite in IE, it dispaly every thing very fast aprox @ 45KB/Sec

but if i try to open any other site like yahoo, hotmail, google the speed for GPRS drop to 1KB/Sec. and page can't be dispaled message comes up.

I have PAYG O2 SIM card.

i spoke to o2 Customer services to enable my "Enable Web" services but they told me that they can't do it because i am using PAYG .

IS there any other way to get around this problem i mean without going on contarct with O2. and using the same PAYG SIM.

Kind Regards

Gugi

OK, full instructions:

* I recommend deleting any existing GPRS settings you have under the work connection settings before entering these to avoid confusion *

1. Go to Start -> Settings -> Connections Tab -> Connections.

2. You'll see 2 sets of option links. 'My ISP' and 'Work'. Under the work links, choose 'Add a new modem connection'.

3. Name for connection: o2 gprs. Modem: Cellular Line (GPRS). Tap Next.

4. Access Point Name: payandgo.o2.co.uk

5. Username: payandgo

6. Password: password

7. Tap Finish.

8. Back in the connections settings screen, tap 'Edit My Proxy Server'.

9. Tick 'This network connects to the Internet' and 'This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet'.

10. In the proxy server box enter: 193.113.200.195

11. Tap OK.

12. Back in the connections settings screen, tap the Advanced tab.

13. Tap 'Select Networks'

14. In both drop down boxes choose 'Work' as the connection. Tap OK.

15. Tap OK again.

16. You are now ready to surf o2 pay as you go gprs full internet.

I've managed to get WAP over GPRS working now - these intructions from O2 are what I followed - except that I first deleted teh existing connection (Right-tap on it and select delete):

XDA II GPRS WAP manual settings Pre-pay

It is not possible to select the 'Prepaid' option within 'My XDA' Connections in the O2 Active UI on the XDA II - 'Postpaid' is selected as default and cannot be changed.

To use the XDA II with an O2 Prepay SIM then the WAP settings will need to be changed manually - note that it will not be necessary to carry out a hard (full) reset in order to complete this.

IMPORTANT - once the WAP settings have been changed, if a hard reset is carried out at some future point, then the settings will automatically be re-configured back to Postpaid and they will need to be manually changed again..

XDA II Manual Setup - GPRS WAP (Prepay)

Tap Start > Settings

Tap 'Connections' tab

Tap 'Connections' icon

Under 'My Work Network' tap 'Manage existing connections'

Tap 'Edit'

The 'Select a modem:' drop-down box should be set to 'Cellular Line (GPRS)'

Tap 'Next'

Access Point Name: payandgo.o2.co.uk

Tap 'Next'

Username:payandgo

Password: password

Domain: leave blank

Tap 'Advanced'

On the 'TCP/IP' tab, only 'Use server-assigned IP address' should be selected

Tap the 'Servers' tab

Only 'Use server-assigned addresses' should be selected

Tap 'OK'

Tap 'Finish'

Tap 'Proxy Settings' tab (*Note, the soft keyboard may be hiding this tab - tap the keyboard icon at bottom right to clear this away)

Ensure that 'This network connects to the Internet' box is ticked

Ensure that 'This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet' box is ticked

Tap 'Advanced'

In the 'WAP' field (Server) enter: 193.113.200.195

In the field to the right of this (Port) enter: 9201

Tap 'OK' and exit

Once you have installed the settings into your handset and saved them, please switch off your handset and switch it back on. This will activate the settings for you.
