Connection Error

Guys,

Need a help here. Its kind of strange. I followed the post flashing phase and could actually connect to internet through 3G line using the connection setting provided earlier in the forum.

But for last 5/6 hours i cant connect anymore. It has been giving this error

"The answerinf modem has disconnected......"

Any idea??
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] amarami:
Connection Error

FYI, wifi is working great, and when both were working, wifi was intially tried then GPRS.

No idea how did I screw it up.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] jokinawa:
amarami,

I had that error also. I did a soft reset and it connected right back.

Lemme know how that works out.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] qtotter:
i don't use mms, but i tested it and confimed it worked.

there are three steps; a) make a 3gpp connection, b) set up an mms account, c) revise some registry settings.

a)

1. go to connection in control panel

2. add a new modem connection under "default company network setting" (not under "default internet setting")

3. name the new connection as you like, and choose 3g as connection type

4. set it up as follows

apn: mailwebservice.vodafone.ne.jp

user id: vodafonelive

passwd: (as mentioned before)

leave domain blank

5. OK to finish

6. go back to connection in control panel

7. change the name of this new company network as "VFJP Network"

b)set up a mms account (install the client first!!)

1. go to email

2. choose mms

3. menu > mms configuration > servers

4. click new to set up a new account and input following info

server: mailwebservice.vodafone.n

gateway: vfkkmmsproxy.vodafone.ne.jp

port number: 8080

server address: http://mms/

connect via: VFJP Network

sending size: 248K

wap: wap2.0

5. OK to finish

6. make this account default

c)revise some registry settings

1. use whatever reg editor you like

2. go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Arcsoft/ArcSoft MMS UA/Config/mm1/xxxxx

3. change [Name]:mailwebservice.vodafone.n to [Name]:mailwebservice.vodafone.ne.jp

4. go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Arcsoft/ArcSoft MMS UA/Config/mm1/WspHeader

5. change [User-Agent]:ArcSoft/MMSUA/v3.0 to [User-Agent]:Vodafone/1.0/V802SE/SEJ002

reboot to make everything effective.

checked gprs setting in control panel?? it should be pap.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] jokinawa:
qtotter,

Thank you very much. This is confirmed working on Okinawa as well.

x01ht

the Soft bank vendor in okinawa told me that this unit can not be used as a modem to conect ot a notebook by bluetooth or USB. He stated it is locked out by softbank.

Is there a way to get this unit to work as a modem so that my notebook will be able to use its internet connection.

Thanks for all the research you are all doing.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] amarami:
Connection Error

Well, gprs setting is PAP and reset did not work either.

Let me tell you what i did from the beginning.

After following dandare123's steps for flashing.

I tested my wifi settings, created a gmail account, and set the wifi as the default connection using the process specified below

Settings - Connections - Connections.

Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using: My ISP.

Programs that automatically connect to a private network should connect using: My Work Network.

Settings - Connections - Network Cards. Select your WIFI card, and make sure that you have this setting:

My Network card connects to: The Internet

i created a new 3G/GPRS connection under my ISP using the info provided before (APN:open.softbank.ne.jp......)

did a soft reset.

It worked fine for a while.

But as I said since last night geting the same error.

Help will be highly appreciated.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] dandare123:
I noticed that there are issues when the wifi drops for any reason and the HERMES should connect via 3G SoftBank again. I had that even before I flashed the ROM.

My working solution is to have the programs that automatically connect to the internet use 3G and switching wifi on/off whenever available or not.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] jokinawa:
Well I say that its prolly locked out by something in their extended roms and you are flashing to English so I say give it a go.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] okinz:
Use as a modem

Thanks, i just went to the AU shop to get my phone number reserved for my new phone from softBank, Hopefully I will be able to get it in the morning and time to flash away.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] qtotter:
talking about using x01ht as a modem, firstly, be reminded you need to access internet via open softbank connection to enjoy the flat rate.

secondly, this access point blocks some ports. you might not be able to do all you want to do with it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] okinz:
Thanks, I cant wait to try,

have you tried to set it up?

Mostly I will be using it to acess my work MS Outlook email while traveling and some online reporting.

Hopefully MS Outlook web access wont be blocked.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] amarami:
Connection Error

Guys,

I think some of the softbank cell has some problem. Becasue the error I was getting before is spatial meaning it occurs only in some places.

I am living in a dorm around mejiro area, where i always get the "The answering modem has diconnected..." error, however today, with the same coonection setting, i roam around some part of tokyo (Shinagawa, Shinjuku) and found it to work fine

Though no clue regarding the cell incompatibility!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] dandare123:
Outlook Web access works for me using the xo1ht - but depending on which version your exchange served uses, you might need to scrable with the tiny screen. Though my company uses the oleder frame-based version of Outlook web access, it is still functional for me..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Tokyorob:
Guys,

Are you sure about the price plan .?. everytime I look at the softmap site I find it confusing as hell and I start to get a blinding pain behind my eyes

Looking at the data charges it don't look cheap:-

http://mb.softbank.jp/mb/en/service/data/communication/sb3g_v8/index.html

I'm on Vodafone on the super happy packet rate for my XDA and it's pricey as hell ..

Bu i may just dump my old contract if I can get X01HT with fixed rate contract

btw .. One of the programing wizards here did a English MUI for a XDA and I know it works on a HTC Z since i have tried it .. it wasn't 100pct but it was good may be better if you don't want to flash it

Rob
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] AnakChan:
Symantec/TrendMicro is having a campaign with the X01HT. I had no problems going to "My SoftBank for X series" with the JP SoftBank OS.

After reflashing it with the JASJAM WWE ROM though, it's no longer recognised as an X series by SoftBank.

Anyone knows how to take advantage of getting the SoftBank page to

recognise it as an "X series" with the JASJAM WWE ROM?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] qtotter:
mobile phone rate plans are always confusing, but softbank may have the worst.

anyway, you can add a flat rate option called "dual packet discount" onto your base fee plan. the flat rate option is not really flat until your packet charge from direct internet access exceeds 10,000 Yen. it's so easy to reach the limit in a day because, according to the cheapest packet price in the list you are referring to, 10,000 Yen = 630,000 packets = 77MB.

if you do not make a call, internet communication plan shown in http://mb.softbank.jp/mb/en/price_plan/connect_card/index.html

is not bad since it includes 427MB-worth free packets for 8,300 Yen a month. you have to be a heavy user to use up 400MB data over a phone unless you use streaming services.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] okinz:
OK, the price plan is even more confusing,

Look at theis site. http://mb.softbank.jp/mb/en/price_plan/upud/index.html

It states unlimited packet use.

Then in the small print it states

"This service applies to sending/retrieving S! Mail (MMS), Web, PC Site Browser and PC Site Direct communication in Japan. "

I take this as all you can use for the one price, however the next line down states

"This service does not apply to SMS, InternationalSMS, International S! Mail, Mobile Data Communication (including Access Internet), Voice Call or Video Call.

What does this second statment mean by it does not include Mobile data comunication (including Access internet) ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] qtotter:
basically, packet data access via 3gpp or via open softbank through direct softbank 3g cellular network applies to this discount.

Y4200 is the upper charge limit for "mobile web" access by 3gpp (normal web use on normal mobile phone)

Y5700 is the upper charge limit for "full browser" use on 3gpp (normal full browser use on applicable mobile phone)

Y9800 is the upper charge limit for "full internet" use via open softbank ap (Y5700 until january 2007) (normal internet use on x01ht)

this discount does not include access via roaming or any other packet data accesses such as sms, video call or vodafone@connect (or *99# aka mobile data communication)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] dandare123:
Thanks to okinz for summarizing this - I somehow think we should charge SoftBank for making the X1HT popular in the non-Japanese speaking community ;-) - everytime I look into their store in Shibuya I see Westerners looking at it and scratching their heads thinking '...but it's Japanese'; and admittedly, although I am failry OK using Japanese Windows XP, I did almost despair on Japanese Windows Mobile.

Thanks to all involved for making this happen....!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] jokinawa:
Yes Thank you okinz for summing it up. Was going to do that when I got home cause it would take to long on the X01HT. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] okinz:
Now that my phone is in english im on the hard part, making it work as a modem for my notebook.

I have been trying both Bluetooth and the USB conections with no luck,

I am starting to wonder if Softbank Japan has some type of block on this feature since they originaly had the wirless modem software removed from the phone.

If any one gets this working in Japan on the softbank system please share how it was done.

I know the newest Cingular ROM has a "Wireless Modem" application listed under

START > Programs > "Wireless Modem"

Give that a try.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] okinz:
Thanks,

The Imate one has it to, However when you try to conect with the Notebook the note book will fail to authonicate and log in.

How many roms have you tried so far?

Are you sticking with the Imate Rom?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] jokinawa:
Sorry I just realized it seems all the ROMS have that apps.

I got rid of the iMate for the newest Cingular. Then I switched to good old HTC. I think I am staying with HTC. Hopefully Softbank will realize how many "westerners" are buying these and release a WWE ROM with all their stuff on it for me to mess with.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] okinz:
What are the diffrences between the IMate rom and the HTC rom?

The Imate rom seems to be working perfect.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] jokinawa:
The iMate had some proprietary softwares and stuff. Which didnt bother me too much, but then I installed the MMS Composer and whenever I did a soft reset I had to hold a button down to get it to boot past the "Windows Mobile" screen.

The HTC seems faster to me, but that may be due to it being 5am when I installed it and I hadn't been to sleep yet.

Hello everyone. Since I am new here sorry if I am asking not the ritght question for this topic...

Planning to get this X01HT SB and my question is simple.

I don't mind using the Japanese version but I will need to unlock it since I am want to use it outside Japan with non-SB SIM Card. Is it going to work for me if I don't flash it with different ROM. And there are any disadvantages from not doing it.

Thanks in advance.

Hey man upstair.

It is quite easy to intall that lovely enhance MMS software, what u need to do is only copy that file into your X01ht. Then install it. Following the direction, enjoy the mms please. So nice man.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] jokinawa:
You dont need to flash another ROM. You can just unlock it and pop in another SIM of the country you are in. If you dont unlock it you are stuck with Softbanks SIM and roaming charges in other countries.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] derpelikan:
one important question

hi guys.

really intersting how you all were able to unlock the softbank X01HT.

i was fighting for 3 month with the sony M600i to get the internet run in japan.

well anyway, i used the X01HT setting here from this thread and was able to get my M600i online .

now the question the setting for the X01HT, if i dont have a X01HT how much will the connection to the internet cost me?

is there any pricelist on that acesspoint? i mean i dont have any problems using WAP and WEB but if they charge the same prices as AI (acess internet) i probably will get a X01HT contract and than use the Open acess with my M600i and sell the X01HT or give it to my gf.

anyway, if you get MMS runnin, that would mean that the MMS settings are not based on the handset but on the software, so i see chance that i get any UIQ handset run to with VFJP.

anyway, i think you did adjust the UA (useragent ) on the X01HT so for UIQ still a long way to go to change that.

guys, if you have any information about MMS for UIQ or prices for the open settings please let me know.

i know i am in a non UIQ forum, but hey we are all screwed in the SOFTbANK/VF ripoff settings war.

p.s. well just found this in one of the posts.

Y9800 is the upper charge limit for "full internet" use via open softbank ap (Y5700 until january 2007) (normal internet use on x01ht)

does this mean if i use the open softbank account to connect to the internet with my sony M600i, the max. charge is 9800 yen? or do i have to sign up for a discount monthly contract?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] derpelikan:
well

i tested msn, icq, aol, yahoo and SSL they are not allowing these ports.

but i am sure there is a way to go through this using a wap icq or msn messenger.

there are some out there, this will enable us to use msn with open softbank

dp

p.s. here is a wap icq, msn etc. tool http://www.wapd.de/

i just tested wap.tjat.com its working free for icq and msn too.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] jokinawa:

Exchange PushMail possible?

I am also going to buy a new X10HT, my device will maybe arrive Wednesday according to the Roppongi shop.

Now I have a question, will PushMail via an Exchange server be possible with the modified ROM and settings, or is this also blocked by the SoftBank server?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] okinz:
Yes,

I have my Push email set up through active sync with my companies exchange server in Texas. on the X01HT and it works perfect.

I even have it set up to send and emails as writen and to recieve emails as they come in.

During my test, I sent an email from my Gmail on my desk top in Japan to my exchange server in Texas and timed how long it took to get to my phone with the push set up.

The email took 18 seconds to get from my Gmail acount in Japan to my exchange server in Texas and back through the softbank servers and to my phone.

Of course this is on a unlocked and flashed X01HT. I never tried on the Japanese rom due to it was to hard to read the set up options in Kanji.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] logimob:
Hi there,

This is very interesting - how did you set that up? I was under the impression that for Push technology to work, the Exchange server needs to send a SMS message to the device. Is that possible?

I guess that Exchange SP2 is necessary?

Here is the best atricle that I found on setting up the phone to receive push email on the phone.

Also the link on the bottom of the page will take you to a HP web site that has instructions for setting the phone to receive a push email. These steps will show you how to set it up step by step through the active sync software on the phone.

http://www.cnet.com.au/pdas/pdas/0,239035588,240090820,00.htm

Also the exchange server administrator should add an entry for vodafone.ne.jp

let me know if this helps you.

i think i explained about the price plans here.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1041531&postcount=83

basically, you do not have to buy x01ht to use these plans. all you have to do is just to call them to subscribe to this "Unlimited Packet Use Discount." their server detects which data connection you use with your sim, and they change the limit AUTOMATICALLY.

although the max charge of the use of open softbank is 9800 with this "Unlimited Packet Use Discount" (whatever device you use), the max charge is 5700 instead of 9800 as their promotion campaign until january.

it looks like softbank does not update their web timely, especially, the english site. i'd recommend you call customer service for details. they should give you the most updated info.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] derpelikan:
thank you

thanks for the super fast answer. just wrote it some minutes ago.

i think i understand the basical time plan system, but it is the first time that softbank would let another phone than the X01HT or another Softbank sold phone acess any FLAT RATE PLAN.

with all the other acess points like 3gpp etc. you need to have the correct user agent to receive MMS and acess the internet using a flat rate.

so the Open softbank account is the only flatrate plan which does not check the user agent.

one thing which drives me nuts now is, that POP3 communictation is possible over the OPEN SB acess point, EVEN it is stated in every brochure that the build in email programs in the X01HT is not included in the 9800 flat rate plan.

So i worry if i use POP3 in the future that i will be billed a huge amount, but is it possible to seperate the traffic into ports and bill POP3 seperately ??

i never heard of any provider who is able to do that.

dp
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] qtotter:
this is the point where you misunderstand. open softbank access is the same as vodafone@connect. they charge you by packet. if you subscribe to "Unlimited Packet Use Discount," they will not charge you more than the cap (Y9800.)

since it is a normal internet access point, anyone could use open softbank only if he/she knew the undisclosed password. softbank does NOT disclose the password although it has already been published in the internet.

i doubt it could be correct. i have never seen such a fine print myself, and have never heard anyone mentioning about such a limitation even in japanese. could you tell me where you saw it, please? http://mb.softbank.jp/mb/en/price_plan/upud/index.html

thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] derpelikan:
about the fineprint

well, i just checked the catalogue and you are right, i coldnt find that . must be a mistake on my side.

i had the Nokia 6680 before, and in that case the USE of a fullbrowser other than the built in NETfront would result in extra charges. and POP3 emails wouldnt be eliable for the FLATRATE.

but this was for the 3gpp so yes, i thought that the 9800Yen flatrate is something new.

so i will just sign up for the 9800yen flatrate and use it with my M600i than and i will than use POP3 too.

dp
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] qtotter:
you worry too much. as long as you use open softbank ap, the charge is FLAT whatever application you use.

>This service does not apply to Mobile Data Communication (including Internet access) via computer or PDA.

this means about vodafone@connect. there is NO discription about pop3 limit on this page as you mentioned earlier. (such fault info spreads on the net quickly. you should be careful.)

now, you can breathe.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] derpelikan:
yes

you are right, i will try to not post false information on the net.

well, it is a shame almost all messengers are blocked over the OPEN SB .

but if i have email, this is a huge step for me :)

thank you.

will sign up for the 9800 flat , today.
