Thanks for the replies. The phone doesn't go to G2 automatically, it just loses its connection when the signal is poor. If We try changing the network manually it loses its Internet connection....
I'll get onto Orange and see what they say...
Thanks again

Hi all
The reception on the i780 is worse than chronic in the house, it drops calls, muffles them so you sound like your heads in the wardrobe, and misses in coming calls altogether by just jumping right to answer-phone.
My own HTC Touch (on 02) has fantastic coverage showing - and getting - maximum signal strength anywhere in the house.
I did check Orange coverage for our area before buying and it was shown as *excellent*. Humph !

I've been told that turning off G3 will improve the i780's reception. Could anyone tell me how to do that?
Thanks

Hi
I'm glad this came up as we're in the same position. I just got the Touch last month and its great, I love it. Now my husbands contract is up and he's been looking at the Touch Dual. When I rang o2 to cancel his contract they pointed out the faults and suggested their own Xda Stella, which I *think* is the Kaiser in a different dress.
So my question is two fold 1) is the problem that bad? (he wont be using video, but needs the phone to be quick in day to day operation) and 2) Is the Stella the same as the Kaiser? if so, will it have the same faults?
Any help/advice appreciated
Thanks
Liz

Thanks!
Funny thing is, I found out by accident that if I connect the touch *before* I turn on the computer - it connects, and continues to connect each time. If I turn the computer on first - it wont connect at all. Crazy. Esp as there was no problem previously....

Hi
I've had no problem with syncing since I got the touch in December. But today - out of the blue - I connected the touch, and its not connecting. No error message, just showing in mobile device centre as *not connected*. Tried everything from rebooting both PC and touch, to changing the USB.
There is some connection as the phone is charging.
Its the Ted Baker Needle one if that helps.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Liz

What? The black bag thing that stops you getting the phone out quick enough to answer it so you have to call people back and use your minutes talking to them about something you didnt want to talk about any way - THAT black bag thing? Is that the one?
You can have mine if you want - its grubby tho, from where I kept throwing it on the floor and jumping on it after missing calls........
I have a cheep crystal cover (well, clear plastic) and a stick on screen saver and now hardly ever miss calls
PM me with your addy (if your determined to use up your call plan on returning calls) and I'll mail it to you

Thanks!

Hi
Is there a way to put a custom Alarm sound on the Touch? The preloaded ones dont even get through the first layer of my ears!
Thanks

Der!! I *really* should have realised that!
Thanks!!

The Great Big **Time** clock right across the middle of the Touch, that seems to take over the whole screen?
Ta!

as I am not on contract or probably never will be thhis is the best i can make of what I feel are the correct settings for contract please compare them to your own first. also if you phone o2 customer services and tell them you have a XDA IQ they will help you manually install the coorect settings in the right place so if the menus are the same you can get set up that way.....

as for not recieving any MMS messages from your friends get them slapped and tell them youo want more sending a funny jpg or gif always brightens peoples day.

Thanks Conan, those are the setting I have so I'm now hoping that when 02 activate MMS I will be up and running....
I'll be sending MMS messages to all and sundry (just for the hell of it) when I get it working! They'd better send some back
I'll drop by and let everyone now how I go on asap.....

Big Fat Sad "NO"
Have tried everything and all I get is...
(Forgot exact message) but along the lines of
This operation cannot be completed via the current connection. Do you want to close current connection?
Press *yes* and phone tries to download ...
Then...
*failed*

But this will not beat me! I *will* get there.
Not that anyone sends me MMS messages (!!) but it just annoys me it wont work

Liz,

I thought I'd give a link to this earlier posting where you can see the settings
http://www.modaco.com/index.php?s=&sho...st&p=467459

If you are using WAP over GPRS then you you will see that the proxy settings are slighty different.

Let us know if works OK.

I did *spot the difference*
and....

Whoop! Whoop! Whoop!! Got It
No MMS yet - odd problem with that, when I press send I get a message telling me that the active connection must be closed before sending, do I want to proceed? Press *yes* and not only does the message not send anyway (!) but I cant then get back on the 'net. Have to close all programs (in Task Manager) before I can start IE.
Any thoughts?
Thanks for help - again
Liz

Hi
No luck, cant even get on 'net today I've a feeling I've done something wrong when making the connection details/pages.
From start/settings the next step goes right to Connections (no data connection entry) showing individual settings (GPRS, Dial Up, Proxy etc). Scroll down to required entry and press menu brings up *advanced* I clicked that and then entered the details. Cont see any other way to do it.......
I'm off to start from scratch...
So will get back this evening with results - hopefully posting from the Qtek!!! Fingers crossed.

Hi all (especially Martin! )
I have looked and looked and tried and tried but I still cannot get The Qtek on the 'net.....
I've tried all combination that I can find for 02 UK, but no luck....
I've been in the *settings* section of the forum and - well, everywhere.... all day
Any help in getting the correct 02 UK setting (??) for the Qtek will be much appreciated......
Thanks

(still using her trusty MPX220 with the so call *smartfilp* sitting in the corner looking smug....)

Hi all
Just got the qtec 8500 today and there are no Internet/mail/msn setting in it at all. I have found them on the forum, but when I enter them in the phone I just get an error message telling me that the settings *can not be saved*.
Think I must be missing something, or doing some thing in the wrong order...?
Any Help?
Thanks....
Liz

Doing the same on my MPX220 - calls take ages to answer or end. Is this a known problem - anyone else finding this?
Will you post back if you get a reply from the support?
Ta!
Liz
PS got the cheque last week - thanks.

Me to! But a question...
Does it record *everything* including the applications used, or just on line activity?
