Another thing,
You haven't answered my last query.
Have u seen this issue with others in your area? I am asking this bcoz I haven't experienced this type of problem in my old 6600 and now in my new 6630 handset(My today's bandwidth is 13MB).

Nokia 6630 is a Great smart Phone. MP3 quality of this phone is average. But the stereo headset sounds fine. Overall, this is a good phone.
Another -ve thing, battery performance in this set is poor when compared to N6600.

Dude, I don't know about EDGE but I am getting average 6-7KB speed in daytime. As I said earlier, I was getting only 2-3KB speed in my Nokia 6600. This directly implies that there is a speed increase. But I definitely can't say this is due to EDGE.

Hi guys,
Sorry for not posting for a long time. I had to go to my Girlfriend's native place to visit her sick grandmother.
But I am back with a BANG
I will be posting a method for those poor guys who cannot dial the second account from their PCs but are desperate to get free gprs, and another method for FREE GPRS on SELECT mobiles.
Both are based on the principle of my first method. Stay tuned guys.....

Dear Friends,
I just got a reply from "Ask Nokia".
I was getting poor battery performence in 6630 because my phone was in Dual Mode(WCDMA+GSM). If I select GSM mode, I will get more battery peformence but It will disable 3G feature.
But friends, I wanna ask you, What is 3G feature? I have seen in some demo pics of N6630 in nokia.com, there is a "3G" symbol in top left corner of phone screen. But I am not getting that. Does this means that Airtel is not 3G enabled?
Posted by spartan117
OK guys.Here it is
(I assume that you have activated AirtelLive. If not , please call Customer Care and ask them to activate it)
METHOD 1 : See my first post
METHOD 2 : This method gives you full gprs on your mobile in just a few steps
( Only works for mobiles which have the option for Streaming Settings)
1) Create two AirtelLive accounts on your mobile. Name them Airtel1 and Airtel2.
2) Select Airtel1 as the active profile.
3) Go to Streaming Settings under Connectivity ( or find something similar) and
select Airtel2 as the account to use.
4) Connect to AirtelLive. Click 'Videos & Live TV'. Click 'Live Streaming'. Click
either CNBC or Aaj Tak. You will either get connected and the video will play or
get an 'Unknown Media' error . It does not matter
5) Now you can access ANY site
.The GPRS access on your mobile
will stay until you exit the browser.
METHOD 3 : This method is for those who cannot dial the second account from the PC and do not
have the option to configure the 'Streaming Settings'.
(You need a pc and the required connectivity tools to get this to work)
1) Create an AirtelLive account on your mobile.
2) Connect your mobile to the PC.
3) Create a new dial-up connection. The number to dial should be *99***1# (or use
extra initialization commands)
4) Connect to AirtelLive on your mobile.
5) Now, connect to the dial-up connection on your PC.
6) Once the connection is established, you can browse any site on your MOBILE.
You may even disconnect the connection on your PC. The GPRS access on your mobile
will stay until you exit the browser.

hey alan..thx 4 sharing ur experience dude...3g stands for 3rd generation phones with very fast data exchange rate..to put in simple terms ur 3g phone will have the ability to put u under teleconferencing & viewing live tv..most of the phones we use are either 2.5g & even 2g phones..edge is an advanced form of gprs and it can be acheived even in edge enabled 2.5 phones whereas 3g phones are unique kind of its own..if u note that in 6630 they mention it is wcdma enabled which is based on 3g..and if im not wrong airtel still has no feasibilty with 3g as it is very expensive & however as we all know they do provide only edge or egprs...& welcome back spartan...
Posted by spartan117
Hi Alan,
Airtel will be launching 3G mobile services in Seychelles shortly.
As for us , I think we need to wait a little longer. So I think it is safe to disable 3g on your mobile for now, if it really does help your battery
Posted by AlanDS
Thanks guys for your replies.
Now I have disabled dual mode and the battery performence has increased a little bit.

hi everyone...
i hav a different method also for accessin all sites both on pc and cell (may b free coz i m not charged for it till now) on prepaid airtel
recently after 1st feb they hav blocked the proxy 100.1.200.16:80 but u know the flaws r always there in airtel servers...
i will only tell the method if anyone cud not get connection by spartan's method(s) (i.e, cud not dial to second account(*99***2#) and thus set modem initialization command AT+CGDCONT=2,ip,""
if i tell it publicly without need,they will obviously block me...good work spartan really u r doin great ..and many applause for him( hey spartan i m just curious,how young u r....though i m not old too
)
and
gd nite everyone

Oh that's great news.
I am happy that atleast you have a idea to access free GPRS. I am also not able to dial 2nd account in 6630 too(I'm now lucky, I have airtel online). So spartan's trick is not working for me. Anyways, spartan is a great guy and he is frequently trying to help us in this issue.
Thanks.
Posted by AlanDS
Dear friends,
I'm very happy now(at the time of posting this message). My current speed is 105kbps and this is first time I'm getting this much of speed.
Posted by AlanDS
I am very unhappy also. Because,
When I try to download any softwares, i.e. exe files, I get following error.
| Code: |
Failed getting media. |

Posted by decent

i use airtel live. Its connect to net. But my main problem is that My pc can't connect net through mobile. When I dial *99***1# it show error on registring on network process i.e. "Error 734: The PPP link control protocol was terminated."
I use proxy setting in Both Airtellive A/c is 100.1.20099 & port 8080. Nokia 7610 also not provide any facility of active profile. I give user name "test_xyz" in airtel live a/c and when i dial from pc dialup connection i use blank and same username with blank password but i still got that error. please explain how i can set my mobile to use it on pc.
I will try airtelfun today. r u think that solve my probm.
Posted by AlanDS
My dear friend,
"Error 734: The PPP link control protocol was terminated." only comes if a APN is not authorized for your sim. So if you activated airtelfun.com APN, you should use it inorder to connect.
Best of Luck.
Posted by AlanDS
Dear spartan,
Where are you? We are missing you a lot!
Anyways, I am very happy to announce that a modified "METHOD 3" of spartan on page 15 is working fine on 6630.
What you have to do is(there is no need to have 2 airtel live accounts) just connect your pc to airtellive(dial from pc. use *99***1#). After connection, go to your mobile and open any bookmark in that. You will get a error similar to "Packet data failed...Cannot contact webserver...." etc.etc.... Don't worry about that. Now you can open any website in your pc. But there is one bug. The speed is not good enough. But you will get around 3.0KB/s.
NOTE: you should configure proxy & port no correctly in your browser

On sunday, I was not able to download the files, which are more than 1.2MB. But yesterday onwards, this problem has solved. I think I was getting wrong proxies on sunday.

Oh! So I think I will also see the update as Karnataka is very near to Kerala. Anyhow, I don't have any problems. My balance never came lower than Rs. 200/- from last 8 months.

There is NO logic in creating TWO DUN accounts
Read my post carefully , you need to create ONE DUN account on your PC and TWO GPRS accounts on your mobile .

Make sure that you have selected "Allow unsecured password"

I will post the configuration settings for X100 as soon as possible
Sorry for the delay .
Posted by spartan117
An important clarification regarding METHOD 2 . You must set "Internet Mode" as "Http" and not as "Wap" .
Posted by AmitSoni
Dear spartan117,
I cant connect by pc it always show error 734, And my access point setting r follows:
Connection Name: Airtel Live!
Data Bearer: GPRS
Access Point Name: airtelfun.com
Username: test_xyz
Prompt Password: No
Password: < blank >
Homepage: http://live.airtel.in
Phone IP Address: Automatic
Primary name server: 0.0.0.0
Second. Name server: 0.0.0.0
Proxy server. address: 100.1.200.99
Proxy port number: 8080
i also have one doubt in your step one Activate Airtel Live! is there any setting for that. Am I call to customer care for that or what. Please clear that stuff to me.
Amit

YES, you need to activate AirtelLive before you can use these methods. Its a free service. I suggest you call Customer Care and tell them that you want to activate AirtelLive. It will be usually activated within TWO days.
