I have two T610's, both R1L013, however one came from Europe and the other from Singapore.

The first one has no problems doing WAP on any of my sim cards but the Singapore one often comes up with that message "Bad request from mobile" using those same sim cards. I cannot get onto Esato at all with that one or many other sites. I can get onto SE wap site but once I click on games or ringtones where it should show a list of files to download it just hangs.

Any ideas? The only difference I can think of is the Singapore one has chinese language as well as English but surely that should not affact WAP should it? Especially when I only have the English language selected.

Does this happen only with GPRS, or GSM as well?

[EDIT]
The WAP browser identifies the phone model when you browse, can it be that the site doesn't recognize the model? I doubt it, but it's possible...

Mass, any chance of popping into the T300/T310 topic and helping me out? I know now that i can't connect via gprs on p+g, so it's just info about gsm i want. Really just why does it time out after 2 mins or less, an i missing any settings? Sorry to go of topic. This message was posted from a T300

wrath000, good question as I hadn't thought to try. I always use GPRS but just tried with GSM and same result.

BOSSHOGG, you should PM me if you need my attention. Except I just realised you are on WAP so probably can't!

In that case, we know it's not connection problems, it's wap. Though I don't see how any settings in WAP could cause that error. I would suggest to compare the WAP settings on both phones, but you probably have already done that....

The strangest thing is that it won't take Sony Ericsson WAP sites, since those are built especially for T610 and designed to support all models and variations. I think I have to agree with you on that Master Reset idea + grabbing the GPRS settings from

. If that doesn't help it's probably something with the firmware...

Just spoke to the data specialists at SE customer support (who I have much more respect for than the customer service people themselves).

They don;t know what the error means but had a few suggestions, the first of which will surprise you.

It seems that pulling the battery while the phone is on is a soft reset. He took me through it and explained that when you next power up the phone initialises all sorts of stuff. You can see that by the hourglass that occurs at startup before the SE logo appears.

Unfortunately that did not fix the problem.

The next was to master reset and then finally do a flash over the current version, even if its the same version.

I'll do the master reset when I have time to re-setup the phone and re-synch my contacts etc.

The flash option will not be too bad either as I can get an EU software rather than the china software thats in it now.

thanks for the help.

Here is my logical point of view (since I don't have any technical expertise): i usually get a \"bad request from mobile\" error message when i don't type the address properly. So my theory is that because it has chinese language the phone is unable to properly translate your keystrokes into the url address, thus relaying a bad request to the wap gateway.

@masseur

Bamm - 500!! (I can go pollute the my-symbian forum now)

Refreshing to see you *start* a thread, rather than finish one, LOL.

(...and I guess a man can never have enough T610s, you greedy pup!)

Steven.
