GPRS Settings for Hutch/Vodafone on HTC Vox (S710) in Bangalore works fine on ie mobile but not on OperaMini!!!

[Guest chandanbs]

Hi all,

I use HTC S710 (Vox) on my Hutch/Vodafone carrier. The following GPRS settings are working for me. But, i still need some clarifications.

On internet explorer mobile,

Connections - uncheck automaticall detect settings.

Select Network - WAP Network

On Settings\Connections\GPRS

Hutch WAP

Connects to - Work

Access point - portalnmms

All other settings are default.

On Settings\Connections\Proxy

Hutch WAP Proxy

Connects from - Work

Connects to - WAP network

Proxy(name:port) - 10.10.1.100:9201

Type - WAP

username and password - blank

i can surf web pages in internet explorer mobile. The connection is verrrry slow !!!.

My questions are:

1. is there a way to change the above settings to "Internet" instead of "WAP" and make it work with GPRS.

2. I had installed OperaMini, but when i open it through JBed, it tries to connect but in the end it says unable to connect and i can only

press "Exit" button to close it.

3. When internet explorer mobile is working fine on GPRS, why cant OperaMini also work? Am i missing something here?

Please help. It looks like the hutch/vodafone customer support doesnt know of any Windows Mobile smartphones and their knowledge is below poor (abyssimal i can say !!). Thanks modaco for atleast guiding the WinMobile users the proper way.

I guess the slowness is the proxy. Which country are you in?

Well you are going via the WAP proxy.

Do you have GPRS settings for a direct internet connection?

I made the following changes and it works.

In IE change:

"Select Network: The Internet"

In Connects / Proxy settings, change to:

"Type: HTTP"

"Connects to: The Internet"

"Proxy: 10.10.1.100:9401"

i think the main thing is to change the port to 9401.
