I'm usually pretty good at this stuff, but I can't seem to figure out how to set up an internet connection on MS Smartphone 2002 (Mitac Mio 8380). Here are the connection details from Rogers:
What you need to do is create a new GPRS connection for your Smartphone to use. I'm using a Smartphone 2003-based E200, so it might not be identical to a 2002 device, but it will be close:
1) Start > Settings > More > Data Connections
2) Menu > Edit Connections
3) Go into GPRS Connections
4) Menu > Add
5) Put in a description such as Rogers GPRS
6) Connects To should be set to The Internet
7) Access point...you don't seem to have that information. I'm on Fido, and the access point I use is internet.fido.ca - you'll need to find out that bit of info
8) Username and Password are whatever info they gave you - leave the DNS and everything else blank (if this doesn't work try putting in the IP address they gave you, but that would be unusual...the network should automatically assign your phone an IP address, not a hard coded one)
9) Click DONE
10) Click DONE
11) Everything should be set to AUTOMATIC or Fido GPRS
The more I look at your info though, the more I think it's just WAP info - you're 100% sure you have GPRS access on your account?
I have an MPx200 and am trying to configure data services and wap. I am also on Fido. Could you please post detailed instructions on how to configure for :cry: including IE settings and also for data services. My handsep just keep tell me to verfiy network settings. It's driving me mad.
Folk at Fido are clueless so any help that you can offer would be great.
Thx

I can tell you how to set up GPRS, but not WAP - I've never configured WAP nor do I plan to (I think it's useless). Here's how you'd set it up for Fido:
Code:
1) Start > Settings > More > Data Connections
2) Menu > Edit Connections
3) Go into GPRS Connections
4) Menu > Add
5) Put in a description such as Fido GPRS
6) Connects To should be set to The Internet
7) Access point is internet.fido.ca
8) Username: fido, Password: fido - don't change anything else
9) Click DONE
10) Click DONE
11) Everything should be set to AUTOMATIC or Fido GPRS
That's it! Once you configure the main connection, everything from Pocket Internet Explorer to Pocket Inbox will use that same connection.
Thx jason I will try those settings, and thx for getting back to me so quickly.

I tried them, it did not work, the handset tells me to verify that i have network coverage. The strange think is my hand set shows the G at the top and on the front face of the handset, so i know it is set up for data services.
Do you have to do anything special after you change the settings to make them take or anything?

Hmm. That's very strange. Have you tried power cycling the phone (OFF/ON)? Try manually setting the connection manager to use the Fido GPRS connection, not just Automatic.
I upgrade my smartphone to WM2003, i am wondering if that has something to do with it. Do you know of any patches if that is the answer.

Hrm. Considering there's no legal upgrade for the MPx200 to 2003, I'm not sure what to suggest because for all I know the build you're using is broken (that's the risk with warez - you never know what you're getting). Those are the same settings I use in my E200 with 2003, so they should work just fine.
