GPRS, DIAL UP or MMS settings for Nokia 6600

[cyberspider]

Hi there wondering if anyone could help. Just picked myself up a Nokia 6600, must say it great and feature rich. However I am having problems setting it up to access either Dial up Wap, GPRS or MMS.

I have read through the settings Here and these are roughly the same settings as I have.

E-Merge GPRS WAP
Connection Name: GPRS WAP
Data Bearer: GPRS

Secondary name server: 213.233.128.1

Proxy port number: 80

Have been talking to vodafone and finally got on to someone in the tech department. Once again they said phone was not supported yet, They havent even gotten a model to start testing on yet. So they dont know what settings are needed.

Have talked to Nokia tech support. They said this has been a big problem i th UK as the networks need to tweak their settings server side to allow the 6600 to connectand only networks that have approved teh model have done this yet.


Have looked at the article on o2 settings for 6600 and was wondering if anyone has a suggestion on how to:

!: Connect to some WAP gateway- prefaribly Vodafone IRL. Problem might be that Vodafone WAP gateway does not support WAP 2.0 (But though 7250i was 2.0)

2: connect to GPRS access point. If can connect via dial up to wap then any accessponit to use Opera browser.

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Also forgot to say.

I am on a contract


The error messages
-----------------------------

Connecting via GPRS
The phone connectes. G symbol stops flashing, G revolves around globe symbol as if it is waiting/downloading data. From looking at the data logs I see teh phone is passing data to server however no data is being returned.

In the end ERROR:
Service Timed Out


Connecting Via Dial Up
Phone trys to connect via E-Merge and just get System Error

I think you hit the nail on the head, the 6600 is a WAP 2.0 device.

Right now I don't know that any of the networks support this.

When you hit 'connect' (or whatever) and you get the G with the spinning the globe, you've probably got an active PDP context i.e. the APN is valid and you have an IP address on the handset but as your settings are pointing to port 9201 I don't think it'll work which mght explain the 'service timed out' error.
WAP 2.0 should use TCP/IP all the way from the handset and not the WAP stack. The problem might be that your phone it trying to make a TCP connection to a UDP port. If vodafone have a WAP 2.0 gateway it may well be using some other port number - I think the 6600 assumes this is 8080 by default?
If/when it is supported by the network it *may* require a new APN, proxy IP address etc....

wireless http as we call it should be on port 8080

as to whether they have a gateway that supports it is another issue?

any one know who provided the wap gateway for vodafone ireland?

Surely the handset is backwardly compatible with earler WAP releases.

Try setting the Phone IP Address to Dynamic and leave the Primary and Secondary DNS address as 0.0.0.0

Try configuring it for CSD if that does not work to see if you can connect that way.

Don't think so :/

AFAIK Nokia has given the two fingers to WAP 1.x on newer handsets, so the operators can't sell them (or at least approve them) untill they have a WAP 2.0 gateway 'cos they just won't work!

[BigMoose]

VFI dont currently have a WAP 2.0 gateway, but it is in the pipeline. Sometime early next year from what I remember.

On a side note, where'd you get it and how much was it.

Ahh stress.. Haha

[jesus_thats_gre]

I checked this out. Manchine was spot on, Nokia WAP 2.0 enabled devices wont be able to access WAP services based on the WAP 1.x gateway.

[MiCr0]

do they still have the POS openwave gateway?

With Opera - or your POP/IMAP email accounts try to connect try either of the connections below (Note: the services need to be switched on for your account if not already done so - caling Voda Data Support should get them enabled 1850 287 000)...

For GPRS on full Internet - not WAP, your account would need to be enabled for the Vodafone ISP 'full internet' access point first, then try this:

Connection Name: Voda ISP GPRS
Data Bearer: GPRS
Access Point: isp.vodafone.ie
Username: vodafone
Prompt Password: No
Password: vodafone
Authentication: Normal

OPTIONS -> ADVANCED SETTINGS

Phone IP Address: Automatic
Primary name server: leave (blank or 0.0.0.0) (... still having issues try 213.233.128.19)
Secondary name server: leave (blank or 0.0.0.0) (... still having issues try 213.233.128.1)
Proxy serv. Address: leave (blank or 0.0.0.0)
Proxy port number: leave (blank)


For HSCSD 'high speed' dial-up, your account would need to be enabled for the Vodafone "High Speed Data" access point first, then try this:

Connection Name: Voda HSCSD
Data Bearer: High Speed GSM
Dial-Up Number: +353876202222
Username: vodafone
Prompt Password: No
Password: vodafone
Authentication: Normal
Data Call Type: ISDN v.110
Max. data speed: 38400

OPTIONS -> ADVANCED SETTINGS

Phone IP Address: Automatic
Primary name server: leave (blank or 0.0.0.0) (still having issues try 213.233.128.19)
Secondary name server: leave (blank or 0.0.0.0) (still having issues try 213.233.128.1)
Proxy serv. Address: leave (blank or 0.0.0.0)
Proxy port number: leave (blank)
...
Use Callback: No
PPP Compression: No
Use Login Script: No
Modem Init: leave blank

see how you get on with that...

Alternatively for Live! your account would need to be enabled for the Vodafone Live! access point first, (calling customer support should get that sorted 1907), usually find they switch off the regular wap access point (wap.vodafone.ie) when 'migrating' a user to Live! access point (live.vodafone.com) though, then try this:

I don't think will work. While the handset is certainly capable of diplaying the content, the handset is not an "official" Live handset, thus when you attempt to access Live, it will detect what handset you have and refuse you access. Thats why you have to set up for WAP, which does not seem possible either

only reason for giving them (both) was if he had already asked / or asks for Live! to be enabled and someone in Voda switches it on (migrates) then the wap.vodafone.ie AP may be disabled for their account - that's what happened to me when i was 'flipped' so just giving the options i can think of while supporting 'blind'...

i thought the handset sniffing was very strict too - until trying it with the MS Smartphone and Live! popped into view (and that sure ain't supported!)
