o2 settings for Motorola MPx200 ....... please!!!!

[Guest lacla_1966]

My daughter has bought an unlocked Motorola MPx200 and has put her Genie (?) o2 SIM in (the 300 free texts 300 free WAP minutes) but we cannot get it to connect to the Internet. We have tried most of the settings on posted on this site (been trying since 4pm!!!) to no avail.

Can anyone PLEASE help me out before I either pull my hair out or throw the phone out!

Thanking you in advance (you will make me one happy mum ^_^ )

Hi lacla_1966

You probably need the correct username and password for the Geniewap account. Try the following settings and see if you have any luck :D Any problems let us know what errors you get.

1) Start>Settings>Data Connections>Menu>Edit Connections

Create Dialup connection (Menu-New)

Description: O2 CSD WAP

Connects to: The Internet

Phone number: +447712927927

User name: geniewap

Password: password

Domain: blank

Create GPRS connection (Menu-New)

Access point: wap.o2.co.uk

Username: geniewap

Password: password

Create Proxy connection (Menu-New)

Connects from: The Internet

Connects to: WAP Network

Password:

In the main data connections menu.

Internet connection: O2 CSD WAP

In Internet explorer, Menu-Options-Connections, Untick 'automatically detect settings' and make 'Select Network: WAP network'.

You should hopefully now be able to connect to internet sites like www.google.com via GPRS ^_^

[Guest lacla_1966]

Thanks Martin for the above....have put them in.

do we just type

www.google.co.uk or use http:// ??

Very sorry about this, no technophobe as you can probably guess.

Trying but getting

CONNECTION ERROR "Unable to connect. Verify you have network coverage and try again"

but have a small black G in a white square next to battery life and the windows sign is "moving"!!! Am I heading in the right direction?

[Guest martin]

Hmm, you shouldn't really get that error.

Do you have the top centre G displayed on your phone ? If so, try deleting ALL existing dialup, proxy and GPRS connections and re-create only the O2 GPRS WAP and O2 proxy connection. Make sure internet explorer is set to WAP network.

Then try and access http://mobile.o2.co.uk

[Guest lacla_1966]

Yes G on centre of phone.

How do I tell if it has enough "range" to go on the internet? (Daughter in bed!! Trying this on my own) Just guessing, but could it be that although it says O2 - UK, there are NO bars at the signal icon? If this is why, should I go back to the original settings you gave me and try when full range? Also what do you type for webpages http://www.blahblah.co.uk or http://blahblah.co.uk ???

I REALLY appreciate this help.

[Guest martin]

Yes G on centre of phone.

That's good because it means that GPRS is activated on you account and that you are attached to the network.

The error 'unable to connect' is strange because it would have to be the GPRS connection data at fault i.e Access point name, username and password but if you have a geniewap account then entering wap.o2.co.uk+geniewap+password should be OK.

I would definitely try deleting all the exisiting data connections and re-entering them just to make sure the registry is correct.

[Guest lacla_1966]

Mmmmmm Very Strange......

Although I typed in "password" in password box, I have 16 *'s. Looks like it has "repeated" itself!!!

You could test using the GSM data connection instead (bit slower then GPRS though).

Create the dialup connection O2 CSD WAP.

Set 'Internet connection: O2 CSD WAP' in data connections.

Set Internet Explorer to 'Select Network: The Internet'

This will use a GSM dialup as you data connection instead of GPRS (2 arrows will show next to your signal bar to indicate a dialup connection)

Yep that's Ok - It's normal ^_^

Whatever you type in the password box will end up as 16 *'s

[Guest martin]

It's possible that the SIM might not be for a Genie account.

If you still get 'unable to connect' then try the following instead for a standard O2 PAYG SIM.

Access point: payandgo.o2.co.uk

Username: payandgo

Password: password

[Guest lacla_1966]

Could it be because the signal strength is so weak (going between No signal sign (No Service) and no bars (O2 - UK))? The most we have had all night is 1 bar!!!

Could weak signal cause this error?

CONNECTION ERROR "Unable to connect. Verify you have network coverage and try again"

I am ready for throwing myself out the window never mind the phone, but if you think it COULD be the signal strength (o2 weak where we stay, but can make/receive calls and SMS) I will try in the morning where there is a stronger signal.

[Guest martin]

You should usually be able to initiate a connection even with a poor signal. Problems mostly occur when downloading pages. Still one bar is not very good for data calls ^_^

If you had another GPRS phone then it might be worth trying your SIM in it to confim if O2 have any GPRS network problems.
