Ok so thats my problem, I need to transfer it to the handset using a cable rather that bluetooth.

Ok now to find a data cable for the 6230i...

Thanks

If you don't have cable why don't you just Menu>>Web>>Download Links>>App Downloads>>Options>>New Download Link>>create a bookmark www.killarney......, then go to Web>>settings>>Configuration settings>>Account. For Vodafone select Vodafone, not Vf live, for Meteor select Meteor ISP. not Meteor WAP GPRS, for O2, select Value Prepay and not O2 wap.

Then select the bookmark you've created earlier and go to - all the rest is automatic. The above web settings are the ones you'll need for the app to work anyway. It will cost very little to download as it's only 8Kb

Nokia 6230i
V 03.30 21-04-05

AFAIK Nokia have 24 month warranty. If you call to service centre and tell them your phone is acting up, they should flash your phone to version 3.81.

As I've already said the app is working very well for me on a version 3.80

donutface

try downloading

http://computer.donutsoft.net/aft.jad

Tell me if that works. Could just be that the 6230i expects a jad file aswell as a jar.

Thanks alot for taking the time to reply. I eventually got it installed using the IR connection on laptop and phone. However now I am getting a HTTP operation error. I have downloaded all the meteor settings including isp settings from the Nokia site, but still no joy.

Now ensure the settings in Web are correct as above. By default the Nokia settings make Meteor WAP GPRS the default. If that doesn't work you need to call Meteor at 1905 and ask them to enable ISP as you want to connect your phone to a laptop to access the internet

Yeah, that part is done after about 6 calls over the weekend.

we desperately need a site to organise the wealth of information over the last 10 pages. Remember if meteor mentions anything about a hack, be completely ignorant about it. They have no way of knowing if you have legitimate needs for it or not even if requests has spiked over the last week

Here, long overdue, is a midp 1.0 version of AFT (for older phones).

http://www.killarneyonline.eu/o2text/midp1/aft.jar


Can someone let me if this works on their (midp 1.0 only) phone?

@mods what happened to previous post,its gone,its happened to other threads aswell?

How do you get gprsms - I understand that the creater intends to charge for it and all which i think is rubbish but i would just like to try it out so i know one way or another if my motorola v3 can use these apps or not - But just to be clear i am loyal to AFT all the way:)

Unfortunately, meteor don´t support international webtexts

This is definitely to do with your phone settings. Check the sticky in this forum and there is a way to get your gprs setting sent to your phone. I have a k750i so I know that it works for sure.

>> sharkman
What exactly doesn´t work for you? Is it the same problem as ciaraninfos?

>> Ciaraninfo
That really is a strange problem. It sounds like a bug in the phone rather than AFT to be honest. But I will look into it.


All requested features (saving texts, showing names in recent numbers, split texts, etc) will be implemented in time. Vodafone support should hopefully not be too far away.


Keep the feedback coming guys, it lets us (webmonkey, donutface and I) know that there is an interest and that this is worth further development for you.

I am away until next week, so I won´t be able to do any development until my return.

Sorry i am posting one after the other but im a night worker so im only catching up with the thread just now -

id say the easiest way to get rid of all this hassle with having to sign up with an internet access point is for DAL to rewrite the java client so that it creates a socket connection to the GPRS proxy and does a HTTP GET request to the actual destination site.

Its possible and then no one would have to ask for the internet APN, for meteor it does mean higher costs though (2c/sms instead of 1c).

Can it be done?

Thanks for this!! So this can be used on phones where you cannot connect via ISP GPRS, only WAP GPRS, like 3220?

No, but I will have a go at trying to sort this problem out.

Your some kid - Were all holding our breath waiting for your big break through - best of luck. In the meantime im going to try meteor again to see if they will enable full access for me so i can "connect my phone to my laptop"

Got it installed on my 6230i by just browsing to the .jar file and then it went into collections. However it keeps saying Subscribe to GPRS first?
Is this because Meteor are blocking the service? If so I'm moving to O2...I don't really want to because I've been with them since they started but if they have blocked it, no questions, I'm gone.

I got to agree with you - ive been with them since they started up also and been on contract with them for the last two years now but my contract is up very soon and if its a case that they are atempting to block AFT then they can go to hell:mad:

They can't block AFT per se, so I am sure that is not the problem that you are seeing fletch. More likely, your phone is not configured properly, I believe others have had this problem with meteor.

Hmm yeh...it's weird though because I was able to download the app using WAP so my settings for GPRS should be okay surely?
I know they can't block AFT as an application but can they block access to the OP's site? But then that doesn't add up since I was able to browse to it on my phone....

Please check all your settings first


1 Go to Menu>>Settings>>Configuration>>Default Configuration Settings and delete if any settings for any other operator on your phone.

2 Then Go to Menu>>Web>>Settings>>Configuration Settings>>Configuration and ensure that for Vf, O2 Speakeasy or Meteor it shows either Vf ISP, Value Prepay or Meteor ISP respectively.

3 Then Go to Menu>>Web>>Settings>>Configuration Settings>>Account and ensure that for Vf, O2 Speakeasy or Meteor it shows Vodafone, Value Prepay or Meteor ISP respectively.

4 Then Go to Menu>>Settings>>Configuration>>Preferred Access Point>> and check that either Vf ISP, Value Prepay or Meteor ISP is selected depending on your network

This procedure applies to most wap enabled Nokias that I'm aware of.

Then if you are 100% sure your settings are correct check that the Login details are correct in AFT.
Check that for username you are entering in number mode
Check that for your password you are entering in correct text / number mode and for capitals / small letters
Check that you have selected the correct operator

Then write your text and enter number initially as 08XXXXXXXX. When you're sure it's working you can play around with 3538 +3538 003538 - whatever takes your fancy and works for you.

You are asked to allow network access

If you cannot connect and a have double checked all of the above settings, contact Customer Services to enable your account. In order to enable you must already be registered with your operator.

If you want to browse pages for free on Vodafone Live, O2 Active or Meteor WAP, you must activate the Vf Live!, O2 WAP Pre pay or Meteor WAP GPRS Accounts at 3 above

I have just managed to emulate your error.

See No 4 in my post above for preferred access point. You need to select a preferred access point ie Vf ISP or Value Prepay or Meteor ISP

fletch

Have you tried sending a text to your own phone to see if text is sent? Yes
Have you logged onto your personal web text page on your operators site to check that it's working and that you can send texts from there?Yes
Have you checked that you have web texts remaining this month?Yes
Have you deleted application and reinstalled from the download site?No
Do you try to end application prematurely?No....going to do that now.
Are yoi in a good coverage area?In Dublin
Are you sure it is AFT you have installed as I was getting similar messages from the other app MurphSMS? :-) 100% sure

6610i is midp 1.0. Did you try to download the midp 1.0 version that I posted last night?
