I could never get Cabbage to work on my Nokia 6300 until I happened upon a settings download link in the meteor website. To set up your 6300 (and probably every other phone) for internet, log in to MyMeteor click Help & Support -> Download Settings. Then in the drop-down menu, pick Meteor DATA, and click send. Then it works Perfectly!

Thanks Sam for Cabbage!
OS X version please!!

Yeah that's what I would consider a bug in series 40 nokias, that java apps can't use proxies. Every few days a new person needs to be given the work around for it but nokia keep reproducing it in new phones so apparently they don't think it's a bug

I didn't notice the bit about the OSX version. There's an alternative that will work on OSX called JSMS

True, I use JSMS, it's good, but it adds a little "Sent by JSMS" advertisement to your message if you go over 1 SMS in length, which kinda defeats the purpose. Thats what I don't like.

My cabbage text applic was working for ages until yesterday. I now get an error message saying "Packet data connection not available"
I'm on a Nokia 3110 and Meteor.
Anyone else having problems?

That error is unrelated to cabbage. It means that you don't have gprs coverage, which is separate to call coverage.

If you look under your coverage indicator you might see two arrows pointing opposite directions. If they're solid it means you have gprs coverage, if they're dotted I think it means you're currently connected and if they're not there you have no gprs coverage

Meteor was having some problems with their website and network the past few days so it's most likely a temporary problem. If it continues it most likely means your phone is faulty

I'm using cabbage web based from my Blackberry Bold on O2 as the Java version is not working. Can some tell me how i can upload my contacts to the web version without having to send a text to each number and saving them after it is sent.

Thanks in advance.
Michael

Sam Vimes

That was designed to be very basic so you can't do that. You could give me a list of your contacts in a text file and I could do it for you if you want

But before I do that, what's wrong with the java on your phone? Does the program not install at all or can it just not access the net?

I've posted on another thread in this forum re cabbage - cant find it now so apologies for hijacking someone else!! cabbage has been working fine for me for a few months now for sending texts to Russia via voipcheap. In the last few days instead of receiving "success, message sent" I get "unexpected response format". The message still gets through OK (as I found when I sent the same text 12 times thinking it wasn't being delivered!!) Is there any way of resolving this issue? - Cheers and thanks for "cabbage" PQ

Hi Sam

I've been using cabbage for well over a year without hassle but all of a sudden I'm getting "unexpected response format" for every message and unlike the post above, the message is NOT being delivered.
I'm using a Tocco on Meteor.

Any Ideas??

I'm having the exact same problem on my WM6 device.
"Unexpected response format" in the last 2 days.
Working great before that.
Sometimes they get sent but sometimes they don't.
I'm with o2.

I was getting this as well, I followed Sam's (I think, possibly Cabaal's) advice from another thread and changed the server to http://www.cabbagetexter.com/send.php. I think Cabaal was having a bit of trouble with his server and it was causing this.

PapaQuebec

tried changing to the above server - now "cannot connect to the network site"!!!!
Aand I've forgotten what the default server was!!!

I've updated to cabbage v1.6 and now I cant get it to save my settings in the accounts page!!

I seen this in the other thread too and now I'm back to normal. Thanks.

would i be right in saying you just installed it this morning and it's never worked?

there's a problem with the 6300 and some other nokia phones with getting java applications to access the internet. i'm not going to get into why this problem exists, i'l just tell you how to fix it. unfortunately it's a bit involved.

1. you need to call meteor and say "i would like my account provisioned for isp access". this is the most complicated bit because none of the agents will know what you're talking about.

they'll try to tell you about settings to enter on a laptop and settings to put in the phone. if they do, tell them to stop. tell the agent to go to the technical team and say the words above. this is not something you can do, they have to change an option on your account to allow you access to the service


2. on the phone, you need to do the following:
settings->configuration->personal configuration settings->add->web

account name: meteor web
homepage: http://wap.mymeteor.ie
username:my
password:isp
use preferred access point:yes

settings->configuration->personal configuration settings->add->access point

account name: meteor web apn
go into access point settings
data bearer:gprs (or packet data)
go into bearer settings
GPRS access point:isp.mymeteor.ie
authentication type:normal
username:my
password:isp

settings->configuration->personal configuration settings

highlight meteor web and press options->activate
then do the same for meteor web apn

settings->configuration->default configuration settings
highlight meteor web and press options->set as default


settings->configuration->activate default in all applications->yes

and then it should work

getting provisioned for isp access can take a few hours and if it still doesn't work don't assume they did it right. you might have to call a few times because the agents don't really know what they're doing

sorry to bump an old thread but thanks very much, just followed this to a tee and i now have cabbage back after swapping from my E51 to a 6300
