HTC TyTN II Settings for Vodafone internet

mik_da_man

Hi Guys,
Just got myself a TyTN II - what a machine

Anywho I can't get it working with my Voda 3G sim card for Internet browsing.
I keep getting a connection lost error message - and it says it's connected
It works fine for calls and Can use the net on Wi-Fi.

I know a few people on here have them.
any help appreciated

The vodafone internet settings are i the sticky at the top of the forum. Post back here if you have trouble entering them

Cheers - I have tried these but they are not working - and I can't see where to enter all the details
It's running Windows Mobile 6

Cheers

What can you find and what cant you find? I've never used one of those but if you have a quick google or read the manual you should find the place to enter them all

mik_da_man

Well I've checked the manual and the net and am no further on!
I can go to setting up a new connection and I get the option so select country and operator and then the device downloads the settings.
If I go to the connection settings I get:
Connection Name = vodafone Live!
Modem = cellular line (GPRS, 3G)
Access point name = live.vodafone.com
User name
Password

I cannot see anywhere to enter Gateway IP Address or Port number

I've got a windows mobile htc p3600, very similar device to the tytn II but i've never been able to use either PocketIE (native web browser) or Pocket Outlook (native email app) with the live apn unfortunately.

I have only ever been able to connect to the net with the Opera Mobile web browser which IMHO is not great.

I've never been able to reliably connect any other windows mobile 3rd party apps to the live apn either. No gmail java app or AFT either. :rolleyes:

For Opera Mobile though you need to set up the connection:
Connections>My work network>
Name: Anything (Vodafone Live etc); Modem: Cellular line (GPRS, 3G)
Tap Next: Access Point Name: wap.vodafone.ie
Tap Next: User name: dublin; Password: dublin
Finish

Back to My work Network:
Proxy server> Tick the 2 boxes> Proxy server: 10.24.59.100
Tap Advanced> Tap WAP and change the port to 8080 (although i think other numbers like 9201 work as well).

To use Opera Mobile with the above connection just open it up and go into Menu> Tools> Settings> Network and under proxy tick HTTP. I don't think HTTPS works.

Anyway i've found this works for Opera Mobile on Windows Mobile 5.
Don't really understand it but it works.

Opera Mobile is not free however unfortunately
You can get it as a 1 month demo however before having to pay for it (25 euro IIRC). I can send you the demo cab file if you want to check it out.

As for getting PocketIE to work i heard if you change the registry settings for PocketIE so that voda live recognises it as a different (nokia-based?) browser it will connect.
I tried this- it didn't work for me. :rolleyes:

As for getting Pocket Outlook to work haven't a clue.

mik_da_man

Cheers for that - I'll give it a shot

That should work.
I can even get PocketIE working on the Vodafonelive apn with those settings now.

Must see if Outlook Mobile works on them.

Well fair play to ya!
It connects for me - but then goes "this page cannot be displayed because the connection was lost"

That's good your connected atleast.

I get that message from time to time as well

It can be a pain in the ar$e tbh and i'll prob change to tesco mobile soon.

If I get that message sometimes I find that clearing cookies, history and temp files, disconnecting and then reconnecting works.

Also sometimes using alternative proxies such as www.skweezer.net or www.mobileleap.com works.

These aren't ideal but are ok for a cut-down browsing experience.

Have you got pop3 mail or any other apps working with voda?

mik_da_man

Nope I can get nothing workin on voda apart from calls
And I have an E65 which I can use voda live and gmail and other e-mail fine in the same locations so I don't think it's a coverage issue.

I'll try clearing stuff like you said and see how it goes - cheers.

Also must check out tesco - are they any use?..

Just bought a sim so don't know yet really.
But last night i couldn't get any signal with them so i'm wondering if they are a bit unreliable (kinda like three).
Will need to test it out a bit more though.

ISP isp.vodafone.ie or OFFICE office.vodafone.ie or HS hs.vodafone.ie (for HSDSP devices) access points are for direct web (i.e. not through a gateway) / email / im / etc.

LIVE is for their Live! Portal (through a gateway)

using ISP, OFFICE, HS my require your account to be 'provisioned' to connect to these access points (their customer support / data support team can help) - you should also investigate what Data Add-Ons are available for you to subscribe to (to manage your data costs)

using Live! on a non-Live! supported handset can provide a limited service or not compatible (as compared to a supported Live! handset)... and also require configuration of the Gateway correctly (usually requiring Proxy details to be configured for the connection on the device, including the Proxy IP and Port) - again investigate what Data Add-Ons are available for this service (to manage your data costs)
