Hey all. Proud new owner of a T610, and i've been happy with it thus far. Unfortunately, i'm running into problems with java connectivity and i'm wondering if it's a problem with my setup.

Whenever i run an app that tries to connect to a URL, i'm getting an IOException. These apps are not connecting via sockets, so that's not the problem... (for example try out the Spruce HTTP Getter here: http://www.midlet.org/category.jsp?parentLevel=225)

WAP is configured to use GPRS on my phone, and it works fine.. but does anyone know what Dataconnection java uses when it opens an HTTPConnection?

Oh, i've also tried my SIM card in someone elses nokia phone, and the above midlet functioned properly (so it's not a problem with my sim account setup).

Any ideas? I've been searching for the last few days all over the net and can't find anyone else who's complaining about this, so i'm hoping it's just a stupid setup mistake that i'm making. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

it could be that the app requires you to use the gprs internet connection.webviewer is like this it doesnt connect over gprs wap you have to change it to connect with gprs intrenet.
try that and see if it works

where do i make this change? I tried changing in connectivity -> wap options -> wap profiles.

Is that the change you're talking about?

For an HTTP connection you have to use a data GPRS account. This usually requires you to contact your provider and ask them to activate it for you, and then you need to add the new APN.

Regards,

Phil.

Apparently, my provider (T-Mobile Czech Republic) has only one datacon setup (GPRS WAP). And that's not working. Does this mean that i'm out of luck and/or have to change providers? Argh!

You don't have to connect over GPRS. I connect over GSM. The thing is you have to create a data account of, for instance, a free internet account with which you connect through dailup. Then select in your wap profile that you want to connect through that account. When you wap normally, make sure to change it back.

I've seen this problem quite a bit, I'm a programmer for a mobile app company called ixPocket.

Some WAP gateways (GPRS or not) have not yet been set up to handle HTTP connections from Java apps, unfortunately you may have to try several different WAP settings before you find one that works for your network.

ixPocket did a pretty good web page to help the settings side of things, (mostly they can text you the settings to save you having to type them in): http://www.ixpocket.com/web/main/index.jsp?pageDir=help&pageName=wap.jsp

I hope you manage it in the end, it's a pain in the a** but it's worth it once it's sorted!
