Right - I've just spent half the day trying to configure my Unlocked XDA2 for the Orange network.

Making and taking calls - fine.
Sending and receiving texts - fine.

SMS, MMS, WAP, The Internet, Pass-thru activesync etc - you ARE joking aren't you!

I've follwed various Smartphone posts, but alas they are little use, as the Pocket PC is a very different beast, and even knowing the settings doesn't help, if you don't know where to put them etc (the XDA is totally different for setting up compared to a Smartphone).

So PLEASE - can someone, in plain english, simple step by step settings, help me get my XDA to fully work for all things, on the Orange Network please..?

Did you ever get yours to work on Orange Paul???

I rang Orange, who put me through to Fax and Data, who in turn put me through to the ever so helpful Mandy in Level 3 Support, who rang me back on my home number, and spent the next twenty minutes helping me set it up.

It helped immensely however, that I had already fiddled on and created some of the stuff needed.

So far, I have yet to figure out how to get it to use my ActiveSync pass thru however, as it insists on making a GPRS connection, when in the cradle.

I have also not got it to Sync via Bluetooth yet.

And two curious things.

Despite my numbers being in a format +44 7736 111 111 (made that up), when I go to send an SMS, and use the contacts function to locate the number, it instead inserts it into the To Field, with the preceding + dropped off, and thus it wont send.

Lastly, despite being a new XDA2, its a US ROM version, and only radio version 1.05 - handy, in that it meant I could unlock it straight away, but curious, as a European market, that I receive a USA ROM - maybe its to do with the UK shortage.

But does anyone know how I set it up for a Pass-thru, and also how, or why, it drops the prefix + symbol from sending SMS, and thus causes it to fail unless I manually insert a +

Cheers.

UPDATE...

Got my settings working, but then lost them during a battery drain - oops.

Rang Orange and got them working again thinkfully, including ActiveSync Pass Thru.

Yet to make an Active Sync BT connect though - addendum in the manual warns about this - must go read it now...

I got mine set up suing these instructions a long time back when I first got hold of my XDA2, everything works fine on Orange so hopefully they may help you too.
It has the Orange settings for MMS GPRS etc etc.
You do have to make sure you follow them very carefully.

Just a thought on this.....

When I got my M1000 from Orange I had the wrong ROM loaded (technically it was the Business User ROM which didn't hahve the MMS software).
I d/l'd the correct ROM from Orange and everything was fine.

This makes me think:
If someone has an O2 XDA2 and wants to use an Orange SIM, can't you just load the Orange ROM onto it (seeing as it's the same hardware)?
Cos then you'd have all the settings set up for you already.

Just a thought....

Apparently, some ROMS are device/hardware specific .. other than that I don't know of any other reason ..
