Hi all?

i have a xda mini s and have followed instructions to set up my gmail account with my phone, it connects to GPRS but has an error and says content cannot be downloaded check connection or something like that.

Anyone any wise words?

Thanks

Chris

I'm sure it should work - can't think of any reasonsn why not.

But maybe try this - http://www.google.com/mobile/mail/index.html (Java)

I'm not 100% sure about all the networks but you should be able to connect to GPRS to go on the internet or push your emails through to your handset,, the only thing I would say is be careful you don't pay through the nose to get it,
T-Mobile cap it to £1 per day ( stand corrected if it's more ) if you are not on a web n walk contract however some of the other CSP's charge you everytime you connect via GPRS,, I have my phone checking every 30mins for new mail so that would cost me an arm and a leg if I was not on Web n Walk,

Also here is the Gmail settings I used for my Nokia and should work for every phone,

Incoming email:
incoming mail serv: pop.googlemail.com
mailbox type: POP3
Security(ports): SSL/TLS
Port: 995
APOP secure login: off
Outgoing email:
Outgoing mail serv: smtp.googlemail.com
Security (ports): StartTLS
Port: 25

Hope the above helps,

Brian.

Thanks guys for your time,

I've tried the google java it connects via wi-fi no probs but again not through gprs,

I've tried loads of settings, some i can get the wap working with but not access email but most of the time it connects to gprs but then just says connecting to email for lik a minute before saying an error,

do i need to ring o2 to activate anything or do i need a rom update? (even though i dont know where to start with that!) im using 2.21.4.1 wwe at the mo

Thanks again in advance for any help

Chris

i just rang o2 helpline and the lady said its not designed as a pay as you go phone so no settings will work with it!?

Try Virgin m8.

I have always hated anything but PAYG - but struggled to find a PAYG operator one that allowed GPRS. I actually wanted it for my TomTom to check traffic etc which imho uses GPRS connections. Anyway Vodafone and O2 did not work and then I fell onto a Virgin SIM and never looked back

[chris777uk]

thanks!

Would it work if i use the virgin sim for virgin media customers where you get 300 txts and so many free minutes a month for £10p/m? (so basically like o2 genie but you get free minutes to)

[banjo21]

Hell - should do. I spend approx £15 a month with them across two mobiles and I've been using GPRS for about a year now on both.

I'd be interested in that phone offer as I'm a landline user of theirs. Can anyone take it up or do you have to take their TV also?

Fantastic service too.

[chris777uk]

no if you have landline phone thats fine just ask for the 2 for £20 offer, with landline and sim card.

Also you can have free digital tv with the 2 for £20 although you have to pay £25 installation.
