Just like to advise people that www.buymobilephone.net only response to numerous emails and recorded delivery letter is to tell me to contact HTC. HTC of course say its none of their business as its an Orange phone.

I am now having to take legal action against www.buymobilephone.net - their customer service is abysmal - be warned

Gordon Moore

What's the usual practice in this sort of event? Is my seller (buymobilephones (uk)) obliged to send me a replacement and then I return the faulty one? Or do I return the faulty one and wait till they get their act together for repair or replacement. So far they have suggested I contact HTC. I said this was unacceptable as my contract/purchase was with them?

I'd be grateful for any suggestions on this - and who is responsible for postage?

Gordon

Thanks for the heads up, appreciated and have contacted my seller.

How interesting. After about a month of flawless service, mine has developed this very same fault this week. I develop some of my own apps using compact dotnet, but can't imagine how they can affect the registry key found at HKLM\Hardware\DeviceMap\Touch and CalibrationData.

I'm looking at what is happening here. Perhaps I'll write a little app to rewrite my usual settings, or get in touch with Orange.

Cheryl, you might just be "the one".

the settings (orange) from imate don't work on my sp5

I'll stick my current setting here and if you could check yours against these perhaps I could get somewhere...

As a follow up to a previous post,

Does anyone actually have GPRS working on an imate SP5 for any operator? (or even mobile 5?)

Gordon

Thanks for replying ...

Uhmm interesting, however...

On the sp5 there is no Connections->Advanced->Select Networks (windows mobile 5) ?

On connections I can right click and get Advanced.

This brings up:

Orange Internet
Work Connection
Automatic
WAP Connection
Orange WAP

Orange MMS

There is a Connections|Proxy
and on this I have

Which is similar I think.

I have spent about 3/4 hour with orange and we couldn't get anywhere

What bothers me is the proxy.

I don't understand how the link from explorer to gprs to proxy to web site works.

I suppose ie selects Orange Internet? This selects what? proxy?

It's all very wierd.

There is very little on how the Connection Manager process works. Without this knowledge I'm just trying everything in hope.

mms works so I think the gprs or wap is working - the phone can send and get data and it puts the little G above the strength meter anyway so gprs?

So anyone got a working sp5 on payg?

Just for anyone I've put my current settings here:

Hi, new to this forum, but couldn't find this info

I have an imate sp5 on an orange payasyougo sim

I have downloaded the official orange payg connections cab from clubimate, but the gprs settings don't seem to work. mms is okay

I have the large G at the top and get the small G above the strength meter, but then I get a Connection Failed, Check that you have network coverage. My strength meter is on full. I have had gprs working on another phone previously (or was it just wap?)

Orange tell me that I am set up for gprs, but who knows...

Anyone have orange payg gprs working on this or any smartphone ms mobile 5 edition


And/Or

Can anyone point to where I can find info on how the explorer - gprs - wap -proxy system works so I can try and trace through what is happening.

btw the sp5 works fine with wifi.

Regards

Gordon Moore
