Hi.
We're a small development team working on various mobile phones, including
the majority of Nokia devices.
We're currently having problems with the Nokia 6600/Series 60 phones. Our
midlets request information from remote servers using the normal
HttpConnection methodology, i.e.
HttpConnection c = (HttpConnection)
Connector.open("http://hostname/docname"😉;
This works fine on Series 30/40 phones (i.e. MIDP1). In fact it works fine
on Series 60 phones that connect using Orange GPRS settings and O2 [contract
only] edited GPRS settings. However various providers and gateways do not
work correctly.
For instance this connection method on O2 pay-as-you-go does not work with
any GPRS settings on the Nokia 6600 (O2 have said that direct internet
traffic is not allowed on pay-as-you-go), but obviously standard WAP
browsing via the built-in browser works fine using these GPRS settings.
What we have concluded thus far, is that MID1 phones somehow wrap any http
requests in some kind of WAP-Gateway friendly request, but MID2 phones do
not - thus some WAP gateways are ignoring the requests.
Is there some way we can revert MIDP2 phones to use the original method?! Or
is there a way of forcing the phone to using a WAP connection as opposed to
the Internet connection?
The answer to this problem, I believe, will solve a hell of a lot of the
http connection problems I've been seeing on all of the support forums. Any
help from anyone will be much appreciated.
