Meteor GPRS on XDAi

irishmark01

hi just wondering if anyone could help me, am trying to get my xdai (running windows 2003 final edition) to surf the net and send mms with meteor pay as you go. any ideas on how to input the settings and where exactly they go? quite different from programming my other phone..

many thanks in advance

I'm having problems as well on an O2 XDA IIs. It connects to O2 Gprs with no problems at all, but now I'm trying to figure out if would be cheaper with meteor (both pay as you go). Here are the settings I have:
Windows Mobile 2003 OS
Name of connection: Meteor ISP
Modem: Cellular Line (GPRS)
Access Point Name: isp.mymeteor.ie
User Name: my
Password: isp
Domain: "blank"
Use server-assigned IP address on both TCP/IP and DNS

When I try to connect I get the following error message:
Cannot Connect
Dialed: isp.mymeteor.ie
Cannot connect for an unknown reason. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap Settings. If the problem continues, reset your mobile device according to your manufacture's documentation and try again.

I've tried restarting but all I get is a different error:
Cannot Connect
Dialed: isp.mymeteor.ie
The answering modem has disconnected. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap settings.

Any idea?

irishmark01, go to Start, Settings, Connections tab, Connections icon. In there you can create a new modem connection with the settings I said above. Good luck.

Stupid question
You guys are using *99# as your dialup number, aren't you ?

Last year all this GPRS / ISP / Meteor / Bluetooth / iPAQ / T610 stuff nearly drove me nuts but it does work

Where am I supposed to enter the number?

All this pocketpc asks for is for Type of Modem, Access Point Name, User name and Password.

Probably is different than a standard phone. This is to connect to internet, no just wap. I'll have to go to a meteor shop as the phone support didn't help much...

Thanks for replying cb750

settings for Pocket PC Phone 2003 OS (hopefully not too different for second ed. OS...)

for MMS try this:

for ISP, making sure you are set-up for access to the isp.mymeteor.ie access point by Meteor support try the steps below

[other references: Operator Settings and Connectivity Questions]


Tap:
Start Menu
Settings item
Connections tab
Connections icon
Advanced tab
Select Networks button

Select My ISP from the top Drop Down List (if available) and tap the Edit... button, you are brought to the Modem Tab in Connection Settings

OR

If My ISP isn't available create it by tapping New... and entering in a name like My ISP, then tap the Modem Tab


Tap the New.. button

Connection Name: Meteor ISP GPRS
Select Modem: Cellular Line (GPRS)
Tap Next...

Access point name: isp.mymeteor.ie
Tap Next...

User name: my
Password: isp
Domain: (leave blank)
Tap Finished...

You are brought back to the Modem tab in Connection Settings, if there is more than one connection make sure the connection you just created is selected (i.e. the radio button beside it is active)

Tap OK in the top left

Make sure that My ISP (or the new one you created) is selected in the top drop-down box

Tap OK in the top left again twice

Try connecting to the web with Pocket IE, e.g. to http://pdaportal.com or to a pop email account.

Okay also point to note if you don't want any O2 Menu's etc you can opt for the corporate Install after a hard reset.

The code is 0502 AFAIK...

Also with the settings be aware that although Meteor say they support Wap 2.0 they dont it is wap 1.2


Check out XDA Developers :

Also you could opt for PUG's different ROM's look for the one with the Radio version 1.04 and the camera fix, this makes the camera much better and clearer.

This also adds the new extended Bluetooth Keyboard Profiles and the A2DAP headset Profile


There will be a WM5 upgrade in the pipeline so keep your eyes open for it there.
